Last updated, 22th of October 2024
Welcome to Swift. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by Swift B.V. ("Swift AI", "we", "us", "our"), including our platform, APIs, AI development tools, and any other services we provide (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.
1. Definitions
In these Terms, the following terms have specific meanings:
- "Swift" refers to Swift B.V., a Besloten Vennootschap incorporated in the Netherlands, with its principal place of business at Singel 126, 1015AE Amsterdam.
- "User" means any individual or entity that registers for, accesses, or uses the Services.
- "Contract" means these Terms (or, if applicable, your written agreement with us) and any Order Confirmation(s) that together form a binding "Contract" between you as a Customer and us.
- "Customer" means the organization that you represent in agreeing to the Contract. If the Services are being set up by someone who is not formally affiliated with an organization, Customer is the individual setting them up. If you signed up for a plan using your corporate email domain, your organization is a Customer, and Customer can modify and re-assign roles for your Services (including your role) and otherwise exercise its rights under the Contract. If Customer elects to replace you as the representative with ultimate authority for the Services, we will provide you with notice following such election and you agree to take any actions reasonably requested by us or Customer to facilitate the transfer of authority to a new representative of Customer.
- "Customer Data" refers to all electronic data, content, or information that you submit to the Services in the course of using them.
- "Output" means the results generated by the Services based on Customer Data, including AI-generated content, analytics, reports, and any other output provided by the Services.
- "Subscription Plan" refers to the specific plan that a User selects, which dictates the scope, features, and fees associated with their access to the Services.
- "Confidential Information" includes all information disclosed by one party to the other, whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure.
2. Acceptance of Terms
By registering for, accessing, or using the Services, you affirm that you have read, understand, and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Data Protection Policy, and any other policies or guidelines referenced herein or accessible via the Services. If you are using the Services on behalf of a company (Customer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case "you" and "your" will refer to that entity.
3. Changes to Terms
Swift reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Any changes will become effective immediately upon posting the updated Terms on our website. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for any changes. For convenience, we will notify you about any significant changes to these Terms.

10. AI-specific Provisions

You are solely responsible for the use of any AI-generated Output, including ensuring that it is accurate, appropriate, and compliant with applicable laws and regulations. Swift disclaims any liability for decisions made based on AI-generated Output.
11. Term and Termination
These Terms remain in effect from the date you first access or use the Services until terminated by either party as described herein.

A subscription has a term that may expire or be terminated. The Contract remains effective until all subscriptions ordered under the Contract have expired or been terminated or the Contract itself terminates. Termination of the Contract will terminate all subscriptions and all Order Confirmations.
We may terminate the Contract on notice to you if the other party materially breaches the Contract or any of our Terms and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides notice of the breach. Customer is responsible for its Users, including for any breaches of this Contract caused by its Users. We may terminate the Contract immediately on notice to Customer if we reasonably believe that the Services are being used by Customer or its Users in violation of applicable law.
Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease, and you must immediately stop using the Services. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including but not limited to provisions related to payment, confidentiality, intellectual property, and liability, will remain in effect.
During the term of a subscription, Customer will be permitted to export Customer Data via the cloud-based Services; provided, that Customer acknowledges and agrees that such ability to export may be limited by the applicable Services plan in effect, Customer's particular configuration of Pipelines, Workflows, Apps or Agents, and the data retention settings enabled by Customer. Customer further understands that there are currently no features or functionality made available by us that enables or assists the export, transfer, translation or transition of any applications build on top of the Services. Following the Term, Swift shall have no obligation to maintain or provide any Customer Data or Custom Apps, and upon Customer's deletion of its account, Swift shall, unless legally prohibited, delete all Customer Data and Custom applications in its systems or otherwise in its possession.
