PATENTEXT INC.
Contributor Portal Terms of Use
This Contributor Agreement, including any policies or Additional Terms referenced herein (the "Agreement"), is a contract between Patentext, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Patentext"), and you, the individual who has been invited to access the Patentext Contributor Portal ("you" or "Contributor"). This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that govern your access to and use of the Contributor Portal (the "Portal").
You have been invited to the Portal by a customer of Patentext (the "Inviting Customer") in connection with one or more inventions or patent matters to which you have been asked to contribute information. The Portal allows you to complete tasks for the Inviting Customer, such as completing your contributor profile, answering disclosure questions, uploading prior art, and reviewing and commenting on draft patent applications, without creating a Patentext account. Your invitation to the Portal, and the use of the term "Contributor" in this Agreement, do not reflect any determination by Patentext that you are, or are not, an inventor of any invention.
In exchange for access to the Portal and the commitments Patentext makes to you in this Agreement, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, as further described in Section 13.8 (Consideration).
This Agreement becomes binding and effective on you upon the earlier of: (i) your checking of a box or clicking of an "I Accept," "Continue," or similar button referencing this Agreement; or (ii) your access to any Matter Materials through the Portal (the "Effective Date").
Certain features of the Portal may be subject to additional guidelines, notices, or rules ("Additional Terms") presented within the Portal in connection with those features. All Additional Terms are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the respective meanings assigned to them in Section 1.
By accepting this Agreement, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age, or have otherwise reached the age of majority where you reside, and that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. You enter into this Agreement in your individual capacity. Accepting this Agreement does not make you, or any organization you work for, a customer of Patentext.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTOR
THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES AN EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES AND AN AGGREGATE LIMITATION ON LIABILITY THAT OPERATES AS A RELEASE AND WAIVER OF YOUR ABILITY TO RECOVER CERTAIN DAMAGES FROM PATENTEXT.
THIS AGREEMENT ALSO INCLUDES A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 12 THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 12.6. PLEASE READ SECTION 12 CAREFULLY.
Patentext, Inc. provides technology services only. Neither Patentext, Inc. nor any patent practitioner working on the matter to which you have been invited (including Patentext Services LLC) is your attorney or patent agent by reason of this Agreement or your use of the Portal. Any practitioner working on the matter represents the Inviting Customer or other applicant, not you personally. See Section 2 (Nature of Services).
There is no charge to you for using the Portal.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth below or in the context in which they first appear.
Patentext, Inc. provides the Portal as a technology service to the Inviting Customer. Patentext, Inc. is not a patent agency, law firm, legal services provider, or provider of professional services of any kind. Nothing in this Agreement or the Portal constitutes the practice of law, patent prosecution, patent agency services, or the provision of any legal or professional advice to you.
No attorney-client relationship, patent agent-client relationship, or other professional relationship of any kind is formed between you and Patentext, Inc., Patentext Services LLC, or any other Designated Practitioner by virtue of this Agreement, your receipt of an invitation, or your use of the Portal. A Designated Practitioner working on a Matter represents the Inviting Customer or other applicant under a separate engagement agreement, and communicates with you in that capacity. Any professional relationship between you and a Designated Practitioner exists only if established by a separate written engagement with you. If you have questions about your personal rights or obligations, including questions about inventorship, ownership, assignment, or compensation, you should consult your own independent counsel.
Patentext Services LLC is a separate legal entity from Patentext, Inc. The two entities may share common ownership or affiliation, but each operates independently and under separate contractual obligations. Patentext, Inc. has no authority to bind Patentext Services LLC to any obligation, and Patentext Services LLC has no authority to bind Patentext, Inc. to any obligation. This Agreement governs your relationship with Patentext, Inc. only.
The Inviting Customer decides whom to invite to the Portal, which Tasks and Matter Materials to make available, and when to revoke access. Patentext acts on the Inviting Customer's instructions and is not responsible for the Inviting Customer's decisions, including decisions regarding inventorship, whether or when to file any application, the content of any application, or your removal from a Matter. Questions of inventorship are determined under applicable law, and neither your invitation to the Portal nor any Task you complete constitutes a determination of inventorship. Nothing in this Agreement modifies, replaces, or limits any employment agreement, invention assignment agreement, confidentiality agreement, or other agreement between you and the Inviting Customer, and nothing in this Agreement assigns or transfers any right in any invention.
Contributor Submissions, including comments, replies, approvals, and acknowledgments, may be visible to the Inviting Customer, its authorized users, any Designated Practitioner, and other contributors on the same Matter. Do not include in your Contributor Submissions any information you do not wish to share with those persons.
Beginning on the Effective Date and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Patentext grants you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Portal solely to complete Tasks for the Inviting Customer. Your right to access the Portal terminates upon expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon revocation of your access by the Inviting Customer or Patentext.
The Portal does not use passwords. Access is granted through Verification Codes sent to the email address associated with your invitation, which expire after a short period and may be used only once. A successful verification creates a time-limited session in your browser. You are responsible for: (a) maintaining the security of the email account that receives your Verification Codes; (b) not forwarding, sharing, or disclosing any invitation link, Verification Code, or active session to any other person; (c) signing out of the Portal when using a shared or public device; and (d) promptly notifying Patentext at the address in Section 13.1 if you believe your email account, a Verification Code, or a Portal session has been accessed by someone else. Actions taken through a session established with a Verification Code sent to your email address will be treated as actions taken by you.
You agree to provide an Contributor Profile that is accurate, complete, and current, and to update it through the Portal if it changes. You acknowledge that, if you are named as an inventor on any application relating to a Matter, your Contributor Profile may be used by the Inviting Customer and any Designated Practitioner to prepare application data sheets, inventor declarations, assignments, and other filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") or other patent offices, and that certain information in such filings, such as your name and residence, may become publicly available when an application is published or a patent issues.
Draft patent applications and other Matter Materials are presented in the Portal on a read-only basis. You may add comments and replies, and you may be asked to indicate your approval of a draft. An approval given through the Portal is a communication to the Inviting Customer and any Designated Practitioner. It is not an oath or declaration under 35 U.S.C. § 115 or 37 C.F.R. § 1.63, an assignment, or any other signature on a filing, each of which, if required, will be presented to you separately.
The Portal may ask you to answer questions about an invention, upload prior art or other documents, and acknowledge a notice regarding the duty of candor and good faith under 37 C.F.R. § 1.56 or similar rules of other patent offices. Patentext presents any such notice at the direction of the Inviting Customer and does not advise you regarding its meaning or application. Questions regarding your obligations should be directed to the Designated Practitioner or your own counsel. Acknowledging a notice through the Portal does not satisfy, limit, or replace any obligation you may have under applicable law.
The Portal may use Artificial Intelligence Tools to present questions, organize or summarize your Contributor Submissions, or perform other functions. Content generated by Artificial Intelligence Tools is at least in part probability-based and may be incomplete or inaccurate. You are responsible for the accuracy of your own Contributor Submissions and should not rely on AI-generated content as legal or professional advice.
You shall not: (a) access or attempt to access any Task, Matter, Matter Materials, or data that has not been made available to you; (b) copy, download, forward, publish, or otherwise share Matter Materials except as permitted by Section 4; (c) modify or create derivative works from the Patentext Technology; (d) reverse-engineer, reverse-compile, reverse-assemble, probe, or attack the Patentext Technology or perform any other operation likely to reveal source code, algorithms, operational directives, processing templates, trade secrets, or proprietary information of Patentext; (e) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any authentication, rate-limiting, bot-detection, security, or access control of the Portal; (f) use any robot, scraper, or other automated means to access the Portal; (g) impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation; (h) use the Portal to generate, operate, or transmit harmful code or malware; (i) use the Portal for unlawful purposes; (j) submit any prompt, input, or instruction, or otherwise interact with the Portal, in a manner designed to jailbreak, manipulate, or interfere with the operation of any Artificial Intelligence Tools, or to discover, extract, or reconstruct any system prompt, operational directive, processing template, model parameter, or other Patentext Technology; (k) use the Portal, any Matter Materials, or any component of the Patentext Technology to develop, train, or improve any product, model, or service that competes with Patentext; or (l) otherwise use the Portal in any manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement.
You shall not submit Contributor Submissions that: (a) contain classified, export-controlled, or government-restricted information; (b) contain trade secrets, confidential information, or proprietary information of any third party, including any current or former employer or client, that you are not authorized to disclose; (c) violate the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party; (d) are knowingly false or misleading; or (e) constitute prompt-injection, jailbreaking, or other adversarial inputs intended to elicit unauthorized behavior from any Artificial Intelligence Tool.
Patentext does not charge you for access to or use of the Portal. The Inviting Customer's use of the Patentext platform is governed by the Customer Agreement. The absence of a fee does not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, which is supported by the consideration described in Section 13.8.
Matter Materials are Customer Data of the Inviting Customer and may include unpublished patent applications, invention disclosures, and other confidential or proprietary information. Premature public disclosure of this information may affect the ability to obtain patent protection. You shall: (a) use Matter Materials solely to complete Tasks for the Inviting Customer; (b) not disclose Matter Materials to any person other than the Inviting Customer, a Designated Practitioner, other contributors on the same Matter, or your own legal advisers who are bound by obligations of confidentiality; and (c) protect Matter Materials using at least reasonable care. These obligations are in addition to, and do not limit, any confidentiality obligations you owe to the Inviting Customer under any other agreement.
The Patentext Technology, including the structure, question templates, and operational directives of the Portal, is the confidential information of Patentext. You shall not disclose it or use it for any purpose other than completing Tasks.
The obligations in this Section 4 do not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known through no fault of yours; (b) was rightfully in your possession prior to disclosure through the Portal, including information you yourself contributed to the invention, subject to any separate obligations you owe to the Inviting Customer; (c) is rightfully obtained from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (d) is independently developed without use of or reference to the Matter Materials or Patentext Technology.
If you are required by applicable law or court order to disclose Matter Materials or Patentext Technology, you shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide prompt prior written notice to Patentext and the Inviting Customer and reasonably cooperate in seeking a protective order or other appropriate relief. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits you from reporting possible violations of law to any governmental agency or from making other disclosures protected under applicable whistleblower laws.
You acknowledge that unauthorized disclosure of Matter Materials or Patentext Technology could cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages alone may not be a sufficient remedy, and that Patentext and the Inviting Customer shall therefore be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available at law or equity.
Contributor Submissions are made at the request and for the benefit of the Inviting Customer and are treated as Customer Data of the Inviting Customer under the Customer Agreement. As between you and Patentext, Patentext claims no ownership of your Contributor Submissions. Ownership of Contributor Submissions and of any invention described in them, as between you and the Inviting Customer, is governed by any agreement between you and the Inviting Customer and by applicable law, and not by this Agreement.
You grant Patentext a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, display, and transmit your Contributor Submissions solely for the purpose of: (i) operating the Portal and providing services to the Inviting Customer under the Customer Agreement; (ii) generating Metric Data; and (iii) exercising Patentext's rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement and the Customer Agreement. Patentext will not use Contributor Submissions to train, fine-tune, or improve any Patentext AI model or any other machine learning system operated by or on behalf of Patentext.
You authorize Patentext to make your Contributor Submissions available to the Inviting Customer, its authorized users, any Designated Practitioner, and other contributors on the same Matter, and to transmit your Contributor Submissions to such other recipients as the Inviting Customer directs in accordance with the Customer Agreement. The Inviting Customer controls the retention and deletion of Customer Data, including Contributor Submissions, in accordance with the Customer Agreement.
Patentext will use personal information in your Contributor Profile only as described in this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. Patentext's collection and use of personal information through the Portal is described in the Patentext Privacy Policy located at https://patentext.com/legal/privacy-policy (the "Privacy Policy"), which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In addition to your Contributor Profile, the Portal collects limited technical and security information, which may include session identifiers, timestamps, coarse browser and device signals, and usage analytics, and relies on third-party service providers for functions such as email delivery, bot detection, hosting, and analytics. With respect to Contributor Submissions, Patentext processes personal information on behalf of the Inviting Customer. If you wish to access, correct, or delete personal information contained in Contributor Submissions, you may update your Contributor Profile through the Portal or contact the Inviting Customer, and Patentext may refer requests it receives to the Inviting Customer.
Patentext uses Generative AI Tools provided by third parties. Patentext uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its agreements with the third-party providers of such Generative AI Tools: (i) mandate zero retention of Customer Data by those providers; and (ii) prohibit those providers from using Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or otherwise modify their models.
Patentext retains ownership of all right, title, and interest in and to Metric Data. Patentext may use Metric Data to operate, improve, analyze, and support the Portal and its platform, for benchmarking and reporting, and for any other lawful business purpose, provided that Metric Data does not identify or render identifiable you, the Inviting Customer, or any Customer Data.
As between you and Patentext, Patentext owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Patentext Technology and all intellectual property rights related to it. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right or license in the Patentext Technology except the limited right expressly set forth in Section 3.1.
You may, but are not obligated to, provide suggestions, comments, ideas, or other feedback regarding the Portal ("Feedback"). Feedback does not include Contributor Submissions about a Matter. You grant Patentext a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit all Feedback for any purpose, without restriction, attribution, or obligation of any kind.
Patentext shall implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data, including Contributor Submissions, against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, commensurate with the risk and nature of the data processed. In the event of a confirmed security breach affecting your personal information, Patentext will notify the Inviting Customer in accordance with the Customer Agreement, and Patentext or the Inviting Customer will provide any notice to you that is required by applicable law.
This Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues until terminated as set forth herein. If you are invited to additional Matters, whether by the same or a different Inviting Customer, this Agreement, as then in effect, applies to each of them.
You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use the Portal and notifying the Inviting Customer or Patentext. This Agreement terminates automatically, with respect to a Matter, when your access to that Matter is revoked by the Inviting Customer or when the Customer Agreement expires or terminates. Patentext may suspend or terminate your access to the Portal at any time, with or without notice, if you violate this Agreement, if your activity poses a security risk to the Portal, the Inviting Customer, or other users, or if required by law.
Upon termination: (a) your right to access the Portal terminates; (b) Contributor Submissions made before termination remain Customer Data of the Inviting Customer and will be retained or deleted in accordance with the Customer Agreement; and (c) you shall cease using, and upon request return or destroy, any Matter Materials in your possession, except as required by law or by a separate agreement with the Inviting Customer.
All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive expiration or termination shall survive, including without limitation: Section 1 (Definitions), Section 2 (Nature of Services), Section 4 (Confidentiality), Section 5 (Contributor Submissions; Data; Privacy), Section 9 (Indemnification), Section 10 (Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability), Section 12 (Dispute Resolution), and Section 13 (General).
You represent and warrant that: (a) you are the individual to whom the invitation was addressed, or have been expressly authorized by the Inviting Customer to act on that individual's invitation; (b) the information in your Contributor Profile is accurate and complete; (c) you have all necessary rights and permissions to submit your Contributor Submissions, and doing so does not breach any obligation you owe to any third party, including any current or former employer or client; and (d) your use of the Portal will comply with all applicable laws, including export control laws.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Patentext and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and successors from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your breach of Section 3.7 (Use Restrictions), Section 3.8 (Acceptable Use for Contributor Submissions), or Section 4 (Confidentiality); (b) your submission of any Contributor Submission that you knew or should reasonably have known infringes or misappropriates the rights of a third party; or (c) your fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Patentext shall promptly notify you in writing of any claim for which indemnification is sought and shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of such claim.
The Portal is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Patentext disclaims any and all representations and warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, data accuracy, title, and non-infringement. Patentext does not warrant that the Portal will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that Verification Codes or other emails will be delivered.
Patentext is not responsible for, and makes no representation regarding: (a) the acts, omissions, advice, or decisions of the Inviting Customer or any Designated Practitioner, including determinations of inventorship or ownership; (b) the content, accuracy, or sufficiency of any patent application or other Matter Materials; (c) whether any application is filed, allowed, or issued; or (d) any content generated by Artificial Intelligence Tools. Nothing presented through the Portal constitutes legal advice to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Patentext be liable to you for any lost profits, loss of data, loss of business opportunity, loss of patent rights, or any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the Portal or this Agreement, regardless of the cause of action or the theory of liability, even if Patentext has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Patentext's total cumulative liability to you arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Portal shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100). You acknowledge that Patentext provides the Portal to you free of charge and would not do so without these limitations.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations in this Section 10 apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct to the extent such limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
Patentext shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental actions, internet or power outages, email delivery failures, or failures of third-party infrastructure providers.
This Section 12 applies to any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and Patentext arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Portal (a "Dispute"). It does not apply to disputes between you and the Inviting Customer or any Designated Practitioner.
Before initiating arbitration, the party asserting a Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party describing the Dispute in reasonable detail. The parties shall have thirty (30) days from such notice to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally through good-faith negotiation.
If the parties cannot resolve a Dispute informally, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, where the amount in controversy exceeds the threshold stated in those rules, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, in each case as in effect at the time of the arbitration and as modified by this Section 12. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Denver, Colorado, or, at your election, by videoconference or in the county where you reside. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Your and Patentext's mutual promises to arbitrate are each consideration for the other.
If you initiate arbitration, you will be responsible for a filing fee not exceeding the filing fee you would pay to commence an action in a court of general jurisdiction in the state where you reside, and Patentext will pay all remaining JAMS administrative fees and arbitrator fees. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, except that the arbitrator may award fees and costs to the prevailing party if the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought in bad faith, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
You and Patentext each waive any right to assert any claims against the other as a plaintiff or class member in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this Section 12.5 is found unenforceable with respect to any claim, that claim shall be severed and heard in court, and the remainder of this Section 12 shall continue to apply.
You may opt out of Sections 12.3 through 12.5 by sending written notice to Patentext at the email address in Section 13.1 within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, stating your name, the email address associated with your invitation, and that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado, and you and Patentext consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Notwithstanding Section 12.3: (a) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for Disputes within that court's jurisdiction; and (b) either party may seek emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or intellectual property, without waiving the right to arbitrate the underlying Dispute.
This Section 12 shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. To the extent the FAA does not apply, and with respect to all other matters, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
Patentext may provide notices to you by email to the address associated with your invitation or Contributor Profile, or through the Portal. Notices to Patentext shall be in writing and delivered by hand, by nationally recognized overnight courier, by certified mail, or by email with confirmation of receipt, to:
Patentext, Inc.
2800 Kalmia Avenue APT A312
Boulder, Colorado 80301
Attn: Legal Department
Email: support@patentext.com
Patentext may update this Agreement from time to time. If Patentext makes a material change, it will notify you through the Portal or by email and may ask you to accept the updated Agreement before continuing to use the Portal. A material update will take effect on the earlier of your acceptance of it or thirty (30) days after notice to you. No update will apply to any Dispute that arose before the update's effective date, or change Patentext's commitments regarding Contributor Submissions already provided, without your express consent. Your continued use of the Portal after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Agreement.
This Agreement, including the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Patentext with respect to the Portal and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings regarding the same subject matter. This Agreement does not amend the Customer Agreement, and the Customer Agreement does not grant you any rights.
The Inviting Customer is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 4 (Confidentiality) and 5.1 (Contributor Submissions Are Customer Data) and may enforce those Sections directly. Patentext Services LLC is an intended third-party beneficiary of Sections 2.2, 2.3, and 10. Except as stated in this Section 13.4, there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without Patentext's prior written consent. Patentext may freely assign this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, subject to Section 12.5. No failure or delay by Patentext in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right.
This Agreement may be accepted electronically. Your acceptance by checking a box, clicking a button, or similar means shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as a handwritten signature under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Patentext may maintain an electronic record of your acceptance, including the date, time, and version of this Agreement accepted, and such record shall be admissible as evidence of your acceptance.
You agree to this Agreement in exchange for: (a) the right to access the Portal and Matter Materials that are not otherwise available to you; (b) the ability to complete Tasks for the Inviting Customer without creating a Patentext account; (c) Patentext's commitments to you in this Agreement, including its commitments regarding the use, security, and non-training of your Contributor Submissions and personal information in Sections 5.2, 5.4, 5.5, and 6; and (d) Patentext's agreement to arbitrate in Section 12, including its payment of arbitration costs under Section 12.4. You and Patentext each acknowledge that this consideration is adequate and sufficient to make this Agreement binding.
