Watch: governing law disputes
Start here. These are the highest-risk verified clauses AIRIN found in the platform's own policy text.
Section 12.8 restricts the Customer's ability to assign rights or delegate obligations without Licensor's prior written consent, while permitting Licensor to assign freely in defined circumstances (affiliate or asset sale), and renders any non-compliant assignment null and void; Section 12.9 acknowledges that breach of specified obligations (Section 6 and others) entitles the non-breaching party to equitable relief, establishing a remedy right beyond monetary damages.
Imposes a class action waiver, restricting both parties from bringing claims in any class, collective, or representative proceeding and limiting the arbitrator's authority to consolidate claims; also provides that if this waiver is found unenforceable the entire arbitration provision is affected.
Excludes to the fullest extent permitted by law all consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, and similar damages for either party, including lost profits, lost data, and business interruption, significantly limiting the financial exposure of both parties under the agreement.

Permits Cognition to use Customer Data for model training and service improvement by default, but grants paid-tier customers the right to opt out; upon opt-out, Customer Data will not be used for training language models and zero data retention will be enabled with model providers. Also reserves Cognition's right to collect and use anonymized Usage Data.

"We reserve the right to temporarily suspend your access and any Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Services if, in our sole discretion, we reasonably determine that: (i) there is a creditable risk of harm or liability to Licensor or any Licensor IP, including repeated or material violations of Agreement or the AUP; (ii) your use or any of your Authorized User's use of the Licensor IP disrupts or poses a security risk to Licensor IP or to any third party; (iii) you or your Authorized Users are using the Licensor IP for fraudulent or illegal activities; (iv) it is necessary to do so to comply with, or if otherwise required by, applicable law, including for changes to applicable laws or to comply with new applicable laws that require that Licensor suspend the Services or that otherwise may impose risks of material liability to Licensor or Customer; or (v) you have ceased to continue business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding."
The sole discretion standard for suspension, combined with broad triggering conditions including business-cessation events, creates operational continuity risk for enterprise customers. The 'where practicable' notice standard provides limited protection.

" 12.8 Assignment: You may not assign any of your rights or delegate any of your obligations hereunder without Licensor's prior written consent. Licensor may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of its stock, assets or business to which this Agreement relates without consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be null and void. 12.9 Equitable Relief: Each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Customer, Section 2.3, would cause the other party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other party will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise."
Section 12.8 restricts the Customer's ability to assign rights or delegate obligations without Licensor's prior written consent, while permitting Licensor to assign freely in defined circumstances (affiliate or asset sale), and renders any non-compliant assignment null and void; Section 12.9 acknowledges that breach of specified obligations (Section 6 and others) entitles the non-breaching party to equitable relief, establishing a remedy right beyond monetary damages.

" 11.2 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND COGNITION AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Cognition agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding. If this class action waiver provision is found to be unenforceable in any particular proceeding, then the entire arbitration provision in Section 11.1 will be null and void as to such proceeding, and the parties' dispute will instead be resolved in accordance with Section 12.6. 11.3 Notice of Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by a recognized courier requiring signature on delivery (“Notice of Arbitration”). Cognition's address for Notice of Arbitration is: Cognition AI, Inc., 550 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94107. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe in detail the particular nature and basis of the claim or Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding under Section 11.1."
Imposes a class action waiver, restricting both parties from bringing claims in any class, collective, or representative proceeding and limiting the arbitrator's authority to consolidate claims; also provides that if this waiver is found unenforceable the entire arbitration provision is affected.

" 3.3 Data Usage and Rights: 3.3.1 Use of Customer Data: Cognition may use Customer Data for model training purposes and to improve and enhance the Services. If you subscribe to a paid Service Tier, you may opt out of this use (“Opt-Out”). Following an Opt-Out election: (A) Customer Data will not be used for any other purpose, including training language models; and (B) Zero Data Retention will be enabled with our model providers. For the Teams Service Tier, only an administrator may exercise the Opt-Out. 3.3.2 Usage Data: Cognition reserves the right to collect, analyze, and utilize Usage Data for operational, analytical, and improvement purposes. Cognition owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Usage Data. 3.3.3 Abuse and Legal Process: ZDR does not preclude retention or disclosure of Customer Data (i) flagged on automated safety and abuse-detection classifiers; (ii) to perform safety, security, and AUP compliance review; or (iii) as compelled by applicable law or legal process. 3.4 Marketing: Subject to your prior consent, Cognition may use your name, logo, and trademarks in publicity, including, but not limited to, displaying your name, logo, or trademark on Cognition's website and marketing materials. Additionally, you agree to consider in good faith participating in a written case study at Cognition's request, detailing the collaboration and outcomes of the project, subject to mutual agreement on the content and timeline.
