3. Intellectual Property Rights

3.2 Content License. You grant us and our service providers directly involved in the provision of the Services a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, copy, modify, create derivative works of and use your Content as required in order to provide you with the Services and generate the Reports. Subject to this limited license, we do not acquire any right in your Content and you or your licensors retain all rights and ownership to your Content.
3.3 Reports. As between First Chair and you, if First Chair has such rights and they exist under applicable law, and subject to your compliance with these Terms (including payment of applicable Fees), you will own all rights, title and interest in the Reports. First Chair relinquishes to you all rights, title and interest it might have in the Reports, without making any representation or warranty as to the nature of such rights. You acknowledge and agree that due to the nature of machine learning and generative artificial intelligence models, the Reports may not be unique and other users of the Platform providing the same or similar prompts or input may receive the same or similar reports. Therefore, your ownership does not extend to other end clients' reports and outputs. You are solely responsible for verifying the fitness, accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of any Report before using or sharing it with any third party, and should conduct independent human review of the Reports as it deems necessary.
3.4 Open Source. Certain components and repositories of the Platform may be subject to open source licenses. In the event there is conflict between these Terms and the open source license terms governing such components and repositories, the open source license terms will prevail solely with respect to such components and repositories and solely to the extent of the conflict.
3.5 Feedback. If an End Client chooses to provide the Company with any suggestions, comments or any other feedback regarding the Platform and Services ("Feedback"), the Company and its affiliates may use the Feedback at their sole discretion and for any purpose, including improving the Platform and Services, deriving insights from the Feedback and developing new products and services. End Client hereby relinquishes all right, title and interest it might have in the Feedback (if any, without making any representation as to the nature of such right(s)) in favor of the Company. If any moral rights apply, End Client waives them to the fullest extent permitted by law. Company's use of the Feedback will not identify you, your personal information or any individual.
3.6 Usage Data and Anonymized Insights. In the course of your use of the Services and Platform, First Chair may monitor, collect, generate, compile and analyze Usage Data in connection with your use. As between the parties, First Chair owns shall own and you hereby assign to First Chair all right, title and interest in and to the Usage Data. First Chair may use the Usage Data including to: (1) operate, maintain and improve the Platform and Services; (2) develop new products, features and services; (3) generate insights, statistics and analytics regarding such Usage Data; and (4) sharing such insights and Usage Data with Retailers. Company's use of the Usage Data will not identify you, your personal information or any individual.
4. Fees and Payment
4.1 Payment Terms & Taxes. You will pay, and you hereby authorize Company or any of Company's affiliates, app stores, authorized distribution platforms and/or Third Party Service payment providers to charge you with the applicable fees for the Services, including any applicable subscription fees, service fees, Concierge Service Fees, and Reports (“Fees”), as well as any Pass-Through Amounts collected from you as your disclosed payment agent for prompt remittance to Retailers, using your selected payment method(s).
Access to certain features of the Platform may be offered on a paid subscription basis. Additional charges may apply for Reports and certain Services. For Purchased Goods, you will pay, or authorize First Chair to collect on your behalf, the applicable Pass-Through Amounts (reflecting the Retailer’s price for the goods) plus the Concierge Service Fee (reflecting First Chair’s service fee for procuring such Purchased Goods on your behalf). We will disclose applicable Fees and Pass-Through Amounts in advance, including through our Website, Platform, or an order quote. Our subscription plans and related Fees appear in the Plan & Billing Parameters Section below.
Before sending a payment link for a Purchased Goods order, First Chair will provide an order quote showing, as applicable, each item and its price, the Pass-Through Amount, the Concierge Service Fee, First Chair Credit applied, exact delivery charges, exact taxes, every other mandatory charge, and the total amount payable. Any new Order-Earned Credit will be shown separately and will not reduce the order that generated it.
Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated in our Return Policy. Pass-Through Amounts are fully refundable if an order is not placed with the Retailer, but otherwise their refundability is subject to the applicable Retailer's terms and policies. We will collect or withhold taxes as required by applicable law.
4.2 Billing Information. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information and for updating us of any changes to such information. Billing may be performed by the Company or any of Company's affiliates, app stores, authorized distribution platforms and/or Third Party Service payment providers.
Payments for Purchased Goods orders may be made either (i) directly by you to the Retailer, where the Retailer’s program permits, or (ii) through First Chair as your disclosed payment agent in accordance with Section 5.3, in which case First Chair collects the Pass-Through Amount from you solely as your agent and promptly remits it to the Retailer on your behalf.
4.3 Acceptance and Placement of Orders.
4.3.1. Subject to any specific provisions with respect with Purchased Goods, your order is an offer to purchase services or goods under these Terms, which we may accept or decline in our discretion. We may correct an evident pricing or calculation error before accepting an order and will provide a corrected quote for your acceptance. Acceptance occurs when we send an order confirmation, or, with respect to Reports, make the Report available to you.
4.3.2. For Purchased Goods, the last quote you accept before payment controls the order. In addition, your submission of an order for Purchased Goods via the Platform constitutes (i) a request for First Chair’s procurement services and (ii) your Order Authorization appointing First Chair as your limited purchasing and payment agent as described in Section 5.3. The sale contract for Purchased Goods forms directly between you and the Retailer when the Retailer accepts your order.
4.4 Fees Changes. Prices for Reports and other one-time products and Services are subject to change, but the price charged will be the price in the accepted order or displayed when you place the order. For Purchased Goods, the Pass-Through Amount is the Retailer’s price at the time the Retailer accepts your order. We may change Fees from time to time. If we increase subscription Fees, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice, and the increase will take effect on the next renewal, allowing you to cancel if you do not agree.
First Chair savings are dynamic and may differ by End Client, item, Retailer, availability, location, and order. First Chair confirms eligibility, price, and savings only after validating the applicable item and order. A prior display, estimate, quote, or order does not guarantee future eligibility, price, availability, or savings.
4.5 Pass-Through Amounts and Concierge Fees. With respect to Pass-Through Amounts, any trade or member discount and any Retailer's participation or availability are determined solely by the Retailer and may change or end at any time without notice. For the avoidance of doubt, First Chair earns no margin on Purchased Goods; any Retailer-authorized discount is reflected fully in the Pass-Through Amount charged to you. However, First Chair may receive incidental benefits in connection with placing orders, such as payment card rewards; any such benefits are retained by First Chair. First Chair does not undertake to obtain the lowest available price for any item or to secure any particular discount.
The Concierge Service Fee is our compensation for First Chair’s services. It is separate from the Pass-Through Amounts, and applies whether or not any trade or member savings are available for a Purchased Goods order. The Concierge Service Fee is earned upon the Retailer’s acceptance of your order. It is non-refundable, except as set forth in the Return Policy. First Chair's current Concierge Service Fee parameters are detailed below:
4.6 Plan & Billing Parameters. Our current subscription plans, Fees and billing parameters (this "Plan & Billing Parameters" Section) are set out below, as may be updated by us from time to time in accordance with these Terms:
All subscription Fees are charged at the commencement of the relevant plan's billing period. You can cancel anytime via the Platform or by emailing us at support@firstchair.app, in accordance with these Terms. Refunds will be governed by our Return Policy available at www.firstchair.app/return-policy.
5. Third Party Services; Purchased Goods; Retailers
5.1 Third Party Services. To the extent you use the Platform in combination or integration with any Third Party Services, or use a Third Party Service to access and use the Platform, or use the Platform to access a Third Party Service platform to purchase any Purchased Good(s), you understand and acknowledge that such Third Party Services are beyond First Chair's control and that End Client's use of such Third Party Service is done pursuant to such Third Party Service providers' own agreements, terms and conditions, privacy and other policies. You further acknowledge and agree that the operation of the Third Party Services may impact, or be impacted by, the use and reliability of the Services. End Client's interaction and use of Third Party Services in connection with the Services (including the display of any Purchased Goods) does not in any way imply, suggest, or constitute any sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by First Chair, or by such third party of First Chair, and nor any affiliation between them. First Chair does not assume any responsibility or liability for any Third Party Services (including any third party AI models, payment processors, furniture retailers or any third party design platform through which the Platform may be accessed), or any third party's terms of use, privacy policies, actions, omissions, or practices.
If you access the Services via a Third Party Service that processes your payment, that Third Party Service provider is responsible for billing and refunds.
5.2 Purchased Goods. The Company may, as an ancillary benefit of the Services, facilitate the purchase of Purchased Goods from Retailers on behalf of End Clients, acting as End Client’s disclosed, limited purchasing agent as described in Section 5.3. First Chair acts solely as a design advisor and, for approved Purchased Goods orders, as your limited purchasing agent in connection with such purchases and does not operate as a retailer, reseller or ecommerce vendor of Purchased Goods. For the Purchased Goods, the Retailer is the seller and you are the buyer. Title to and risk of loss for Purchased Goods pass directly from the Retailer to you, at the time provided in the Retailer’s terms, and never to or through First Chair. The Retailer arranges shipment; First Chair only coordinates on your behalf. Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for delays in shipment caused by the Retailers, carriers or events beyond our control. First Chair is not responsible for the quality, safety, condition, legality, labeling or compliance of any Purchased Goods, or for the Retailers' performance under any sale.
The applicable Retailer’s return and warranty policies govern Purchased Goods, and any returned goods go to the Retailer directly. For return, exchange, cancellation, damage, incorrect-item, or delivery requests concerning Purchased Goods, you may contact the Retailer directly per its own policies, or contact First Chair at support@firstchair.app and First Chair will use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate and coordinate the request with the Retailer on your behalf. Processing of returns or the issuance of refunds for Purchased Goods Pass-Through Amounts remains solely with the applicable Retailer. Where you paid the Retailer directly, the Retailer shall refund you directly per its policies. Where First Chair collected any Pass-Through Amounts as your payment agent, any Retailer refund shall be passed through to you in full to your original payment method, less any charges disclosed in the Retailer’s policy. For the avoidance of doubt, First Chair never retains any portion of a Retailer refund. Return of Concierge Service Fees and First Chair Credit will be treated under our Return Policy and Credit Program (respectively). Nothing in these Terms limits a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be limited.
5.3 Per-Order Agent Appointment. By submitting your Order Authorization for a Purchased Goods order, and subject to First Chair's acceptance at its sole discretion, you hereby expressly appoint First Chair as your limited purchasing and payment agent solely for that order, with authority to: (i) place the order with the identified Retailer on your behalf; (ii) collect the Pass-Through Amount from you and promptly remit it to the Retailer as your agent (to the extent you do not pay the Retailer directly), with such funds remaining your property until remitted; and (iii) coordinate delivery and returns with the Retailer on your behalf.
Agency appointment under this Section 5.3 is limited to the specific order and terminates upon completion or cancellation of that order. The agency created by this Section is limited only to the duties and authority expressly stated herein and creates no fiduciary, trust or implied duties.
