(a) revise or remove existing features;

(b) remove features from certain Plans (and/or move them to other Plans);

4.3 Notwithstanding a change to the features of the Platform that is applied generally, the Supplier may (but shall not be obliged to) permit the Customer to continue to use the relevant features or functionality, as they existed prior to the general change. until such time as the Customer moves to a different Plan or agrees to an updated Plan, in which event the right of termination set out in clause 4.2 will not apply.

5.1 The Incentives Feature is an optional feature of the Services. If the Customer choses to activate the Incentives Feature, the terms set out in this clause 5 will apply.

5.2 The Incentives Feature enables the Customer to:

(a) Offer, manage and send incentives to research participants, which can be offered, managed and sent to qualifying participants via the Platform’s integration with Tremendous (Integrated Incentives); or

(b) Manage incentives to research participants, which are paid and sent by the Customer independently of the Platform (Self-managed Incentives).

Integrated Incentives

5.3 The Integrated Incentives version of the Incentives Feature is available only to Customers on the "Trial" Plan and the “Scale” Plan.

5.4 The Integrated Incentives version of the Incentives Feature is powered by an integration with Tremendous and its use requires the Customer to add via the Platform sufficient funds to the Tremendous Account (each such payment being a Top-Up) to fund the incentive programme the Customer wishes to offer and to ensure that incentive payments are paid to qualifying participants.

5.5 Top-Ups may be added to the Tremendous Account as follows:

(a) By bank payment:

(i) The Customer chooses a Top-Up amount (in US$) and requests the Supplier to arrange for an invoice to be issued by Tremendous to the Customer for payment;

(ii) The Customer makes payment direct to Tremendous via its nominated payment processor, wise.com;

(iii) The Customer must ensure that the amount entered is such that, after taking account of the wise.com transfer fee and currency exchange rate, the sum received by Tremendous in US$ matches exactly the sum specified in Tremendous’ invoice.

(b) By credit or debit card:

(i) The Customer requests that the Supplier enables Customer access to the Tremendous Account;

(ii) The Customer logs-in to the Tremendous Account and makes a card payment direct to Tremendous for its chosen Top-Up amount (in US$), which is then charged to the Customer’s payment card together with Tremendous’ additional transaction charge, which is currently calculated as 3% of the payment amount and is separately charged to the Customer’s payment card so that the sum received into the Tremendous Account is the sum chosen. Payments are processed in US$, so may incur payment card provider fees and will be subject to currency exchange rates then applying.

5.6 Top-Ups must be used during the Subscription Term. Any unused balance on termination or expiry of the agreement will lapse without value and will not be refunded.

5.7 In using the Integrated Incentives version of the Incentives Feature, the Customer is solely responsible for:

(a) offering only the types of incentive that are available via Tremendous;

(b) ensuring that Tremendous is available in the jurisdiction where each research participant is located;

(c) choosing the value of the incentive to offer (Tremendous operates using US$, which requires incentives to be similarly denominated in US$; qualifying research participants may be able to redeem their incentive payments from Tremendous in other currencies, but this will be subject to currency exchange on the basis of third party exchange rates specified by Tremendous);

(d) selecting the research participants to whom an incentive is to be offered;

(e) choosing and specifying to research participants the terms on which the incentive is offered (including any expiry date) and the qualification criteria that will entitle research participants to receive the incentive;

(f) ensuring that the incentives offered by the Customer comply with:

(i) the terms and conditions of this agreement;

(ii) Tremendous’ terms and conditions and relevant policies; and

(iii) all relevant laws; and

(g) for any errors made by the Customer in setting up or operating the Incentives Feature and/or the Customer’s incentive programme (including any payments made in error).

5.8 The Customer shall ensure that its use of the Incentives Feature complies at all times with Tremendous’ terms and conditions and relevant policies, and all relevant laws, and the Customer shall not cause the Supplier to breach such terms and conditions or policies or any relevant laws.

5.9 The Customer indemnifies the Supplier against all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation court costs and reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with the Customer's breach of clause 5.8.

5.10 Given the user-configuration required by the Integrated Incentives version of the Incentives Feature and its reliance on Tremendous and the Tremendous Account, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that use of this version of the Incentives Feature is at the Customer’s sole risk and expense, and that the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect thereof.

Self-managed Incentives

5.11 The Self-managed Incentives version of the Incentives Feature is available to Customers on the "Trial" Plan, “Free” Plan, the “Explore” Plan and the “Scale” Plan.

5.12 The Self-managed Incentives version of the Incentives Feature enables the Customer to offer, manage and record incentives to research participants, but not to make the relevant incentive payments to qualifying participants, which the Customer must managed separately outside of the Platform, by whichever method the Customer chooses and sets up.

5.13 In using the Self-managed Incentives version of the Incentives Feature, the Customer is solely responsible for:

(a) choosing the types of incentive to offer;

(b) ensuring that the type of incentive to be offered is available and complies with all relevant laws in the jurisdiction where each research participant is located;

(d) selecting the research participants to whom an incentive is to be offered;

(f) arranging and paying the incentives due to qualifying participants;

(g) ensuring that the incentives offered by the Customer comply with:

(i) the terms and conditions of this agreement; and

5.14 The Customer shall ensure that its use of the Self-managed Incentives version of the Incentives Feature complies at all times with all relevant laws, and the Customer shall not cause the Supplier to breach any relevant laws

5.15 The Customer indemnifies the Supplier against all claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation court costs and reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with the Customer's breach of clause 5.14.

5.16 Given the nature of the Self-managed Incentives version of the Incentives Feature, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that use of this version of the Incentives Feature is at the Customer’s sole risk and expense, and that the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect thereof.

6. AI Conversations and other AI Functionality

(a) AI Conversations requires the use of the Supplier’s integration with the relevant AI Provider and the transfer of the customer’s data to the AI Provider.
