Thriven retains all right, title, and interest in the Service, including our platform, underlying models, algorithms, software, trademarks, and branding. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property.

5.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of Content you submit to the Service. You grant Thriven a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your Content solely to provide the Service. We will not use your Content to train AI models without your separate, explicit consent.

5.3 Generated Outputs

You own the SEO briefs, audit reports, and other outputs generated by the Service based on your inputs, subject to the restrictions in Section 4. We make no warranties that outputs are original or non-infringing.

6. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and circumstances of disclosure. This obligation survives termination for 3 years.

7. Data Protection & GDPR

7.1 Roles

Where Thriven processes personal data on your behalf (e.g. personal data in URLs or content you submit), you are the data controller and Thriven is the data processor. Our processing activities are governed by the Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and forms part of the contract between you and Thriven.

7.2 Sub-processors

We use third-party sub-processors to operate the Service. An up-to-date list is available in our DPA. We will notify you at least 30 days before adding new sub-processors. If you reasonably object, you may terminate the affected subscription with a pro-rata refund.

7.3 Data Subject Rights

Where we act as your processor, we will assist you in responding to data subject rights requests (access, erasure, portability, etc.) as required by applicable data protection law.

7.4 Security

We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorised disclosure, as described in the DPA.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THRIVEN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OF INFORMATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS WILL ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR SEARCH RANKING OUTCOME.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THRIVEN’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES YOU PAID TO THRIVEN IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

IN NO EVENT WILL THRIVEN BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED BY LAW.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Thriven and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) Content you submit; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.
