6. User content

6.1 Content you submit

You retain ownership of the information, content, and materials you submit to or share through the Services ("User Content"). This includes assessment answers, discovery inputs, business documents, meeting transcripts, and any other content you provide.

6.2 License to Cadence

By submitting User Content to the Services, you grant Cadence a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, process, transmit, and display the User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Services to you.

7. Intellectual property

7.1 Cadence's intellectual property

The Services, including their design, code, content, methodologies, frameworks, and assessment questions, are owned by Cadence or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, all rights in the Services are reserved.

The "Cadence Advisers" name, logo, and related marks are trademarks of PKNT Enterprises, LLC.

7.2 Deliverables

For paid engagements, the deliverables we produce for you (such as discovery reports, recommendations, and configured tooling) are licensed to you for your internal business use. The frameworks, methodologies, prompts, code, and underlying systems we use to produce those deliverables remain Cadence's property.

7.3 Feedback

If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, including improving the Services.


8. Fees and payment

If your engagement involves paid services, the fees, payment terms, and scope will be set forth in a separate written agreement between you and Cadence (the "Engagement Agreement"). Unless otherwise specified in the Engagement Agreement:

  • Fees are quoted in U.S. dollars
  • Recurring fees are billed monthly in advance
  • Late payments may result in suspension of the Services
  • All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly provided in the Engagement Agreement
  • You are responsible for any taxes applicable to your purchase

Some Services may incur usage costs charged directly by third-party providers (for example, AI processing costs, communication platform costs). Where this is the case, you are responsible for paying those costs directly to the provider, and Cadence does not bill or absorb those costs.


9. Third-party services

The Services rely on third-party providers, including those listed in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those providers may be subject to additional terms.

We are not responsible for the content, practices, or availability of third-party services. Your interactions with third-party services are between you and that provider.


10. AI-generated content

Cadence uses artificial intelligence to generate assessments, analyses, recommendations, and other deliverables. AI-generated content has limitations:

  • AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions
  • AI recommendations are advisory and not a substitute for professional judgment
  • We make no representation that AI-generated content is suitable for any particular purpose
  • You should review AI-generated content before relying on it for business decisions

You acknowledge that AI-generated content is provided as a starting point for your consideration, not as a guaranteed outcome.


11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CADENCE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING:

  • WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT
  • WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE
  • WARRANTIES THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE
  • WARRANTIES REGARDING THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR CONTENT

CADENCE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES OR ANY CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT ANY ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

YOU USE THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK.


12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

CADENCE, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF CADENCE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

CADENCE'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, IN AGGREGATE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID CADENCE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR

(b) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.


13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cadence and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • Your use of the Services
  • Your User Content
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any law or the rights of any third party

14. Termination

14.1 Termination by you

You may stop using the Services at any time. If you have an active paid engagement, the termination terms are set forth in your Engagement Agreement.

14.2 Termination by Cadence

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including:

  • Violation of these Terms
  • Conduct that we determine, in our discretion, to be harmful to the Services, other users, or Cadence
  • Non-payment of fees
  • Legal or regulatory requirement

14.3 Effect of termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution.


15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law principles.


16. Dispute resolution

16.1 Informal resolution

Before filing any formal legal action, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting us at peter@cadenceadvisers.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days before either party may pursue formal action.

16.2 Jurisdiction

Any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not resolved informally must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objection to venue.

16.3 Massachusetts Chapter 93A

Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A.

16.4 Class action waiver

You and Cadence agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action. Class arbitration is not permitted.


17. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of the Terms. If we make material changes, we will provide additional notice (such as by email or a prominent notice on the Site) before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Services after a change to these Terms means you accept the updated Terms.


18. Miscellaneous

18.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Engagement Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Cadence regarding the Services.

18.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

18.3 No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

18.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

18.5 Force majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemic, government action, labor disputes, or failures of third-party providers.

18.6 Notice

Any notice to Cadence must be sent to peter@cadenceadvisers.com or to our principal address. Notices to you may be sent to the email address you provided.
