The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the AI Services are provided using one or more Model Providers, and that Mutexer does not own or operate the underlying AI models. Mutexer may change, replace or add Model Providers from time to time in its discretion, provided that any such change does not materially degrade the overall functionality of the AI Services.

4. Payment

Currency: Mutexer charges the Customer for the Services in USD. Mutexer reserves the right to alter the currency as required.

Payment: The Customer will pay for the Services via an automated credit card billing system. Mutexer may, at its sole discretion, offer alternative payment arrangements (such as invoicing) to the Customer. Where this is offered, the Customer is bound by the terms on the invoice.

Payment Processing Fees: The Customer may be charged additional fees by the payment processor.

Changes to Fees: Mutexer may, at its sole discretion, alter the Fees for the Services by providing written notice to the Customer with at least 30 days notice. The Customer accepts any changes by continuing to use the Services after the notice period.

Subject to clause (d) above, the Customer may continue to use any remaining Credits until the End Date of the then-current billing period, after which any unused Credits will expire.

  • (f) Upgrades: If the Customer upgrades from one paid plan to another paid plan:

    • (i) any unexpired Credits from the Customer’s existing plan will roll over and be added to the Customer’s Credit balance for the new plan; and

Data used to improve models: Unless otherwise stated on the Mutexer Website or agreed in writing with the Customer, Mutexer will not permit Model Providers to use AI Input or AI Output submitted via Magnum Coder to train or improve those Model Providers’ general purpose models, other than to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, secure or troubleshoot the AI Services.

Configuration and fine-tuning: Mutexer may use AI Input and AI Output to configure, monitor and improve the performance of the AI Services (including prompts, system settings and safety filters), in accordance with the Analytics and Data clause.

If required by law, each party will comply with all obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) at all times.

Collection Of Data: Mutexer collects information for the purposes of providing the Services. The Customer has the right to request information regarding the types of data Mutexer holds about them.

Location Of Data: Where feasible, Mutexer holds all data within Australia. With regards to transborder data flows and the National Privacy Principles, Mutexer declares that some records are stored in cloud servers that may not reside in Australia. By agreeing to these terms, the Customer gives consent to the transfer of such records.

Data Retention: Mutexer provides no guarantee of the length of time that captured data will be stored in databases, Third Party Applications, and backups.


10. Force Majeure

If performance of this Agreement or any obligation under this Agreement is prevented, restricted, or interfered with by causes beyond either party’s reasonable control (‘Force Majeure‘), and if the party unable to carry out its obligations gives the other party prompt written notice of such event, then the obligations of the party invoking this provision will be suspended to the extent necessary by such event. The term ‘Force Majeure’ includes without limitation, acts of God, fire, explosion, vandalism, storm or other similar occurrence, orders of acts of military or civil authority, or by national emergencies, pandemics, insurrections, riots, or wars, or strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages. The excused party must use reasonable efforts under the circumstances to avoid or remove such causes of non-performance and must proceed to perform with reasonable speed whenever such causes are removed or ceased. An act or omission will be deemed within the reasonable control of a party if committed, omitted, or caused by such party, or its employees, officers, agents, or affiliates.


11. Warranties

Mutexer expressly disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for High-Risk Activities.

AI Output limitations: The Customer acknowledges that AI Output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or otherwise unreliable.

Mandatory notification: Australian law requires Mutexer to notify consumer purchasers of Mutexer goods that:

‘Mutexer’s goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. The Customer is entitled to a replacement or for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The Customer is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.’

15. Taxes

Exclusion of Taxes: The Customer is responsible for all taxes, levies or duties imposed by taxing authorities in the Customer’s jurisdiction, and the Customer will be responsible for payment of them. Mutexer has no responsibility to them on the Customer’s behalf.

Payable: If tax is payable on any supply made under this Agreement, the recipient of the supply must pay an amount equal to the tax payable on the supply. That amount must be paid at the same time that the consideration is to be provided under this Agreement and must be paid in addition to the consideration expressed elsewhere in this Agreement, unless it is expressed to be inclusive of tax. The recipient is not required to pay any tax until the supplier issues a tax invoice for the supply.

Adjustment event: If an adjustment event arises in respect of any supply made under this Agreement, a corresponding adjustment must be made between the supplier and the recipient in respect of any amount paid by the recipient under this clause, an adjustment note issued (if required), and any payments to give effect to the adjustment must be made.

Reimbursement: If the recipient is required under this Agreement to pay for or reimburse an expense or outgoing of the supplier, or is required to make a payment under an indemnity in respect of an expense or outgoing of the supplier, the amount to be paid by the recipient is to be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit in respect of that expense or outgoing that the supplier is entitled to.

Definitions: The terms ‘adjustment event’, ‘consideration’, ‘input tax credit’, ‘recipient’, ‘supplier’, ‘supply’, ‘taxable supply’ and ‘tax invoice’ each has the meaning which it is given in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).

Amendment: This Agreement may be amended by Mutexer at any time by providing 30 days written notice to the Customer. The Customer’s continued use of the Services is considered acceptance of the changes.

Assignment: A party must not assign or deal with the whole or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

Counterparts: This Agreement may be executed by any generally accepted and lawful form of digital signature including but not limited to DocuSign, Adobe Sign, click-wrap via account registration, and in any number of counterparts, each of which will be considered an original for all purposes, and all of which when taken together will constitute one Agreement binding on the parties, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.
