Runway Enterprise Services Terms

Last updated April 11th, 2024

These Enterprise Services Terms apply to organizations purchasing a subscription to Runway Enterprise Services.

The Enterprise Services Terms together with an Order (defined below) (collectively the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Runway AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its Affiliates (“Runway”) and the organization you represent or the customer identified in an Order and its Affiliates (“Customer”). Runway and Customer may each be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties”. The Agreement is effective on the earlier of Customer’s first online acceptance of the Agreement or the date specified on the first Order between the parties (“Effective Date”). Runway may update the terms, and such updates will be effective immediately upon posting. Customer’s use of the Service after such posting constitutes acceptance of update by Customer.

  1. Confidentiality

6.1. Definition. “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), 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 the circumstances of disclosure, including all copies thereof. Confidential Information of Customer includes Customer Content and Confidential Information of Runway includes the Service (including its software and content, other than Customer Content), and Confidential Information of each Party includes the terms of this Agreement. However, Confidential Information will not include any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reliance on the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.

6.2. Protection. The Receiving Party will: (a) use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care); and (b) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of the Receiving Party’s and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors, and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those herein. Upon request of the Disclosing Party during the Term, the Receiving Party will promptly return, or at the Disclosing Party’s option destroy, any or all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s possession or under its control. The Confidentiality terms of Section 6 supersede any non-disclosure agreement entered into by the Parties prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.

6.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled access or disclosure (to the extent legally permitted).

8.1. Runway Indemnification. Runway will defend Customer against any lawsuit or proceeding brought by a third party to the extent alleging that Customer’s use of the Service as permitted hereunder infringes or misappropriates such third party’s patent rights, and Runway will indemnify Customer for any damages and any reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded against them arising from such lawsuit or proceeding; provided, however, that Runway will have no liability under this Section to the extent any such lawsuit or proceeding arises from: (a) Customer Content; (b) Customer’s or any of its Authorized Users’ negligence, misconduct, or breach of this Agreement; or (c) any modification or combination of the Service that is not performed or approved by Runway or specifically set out in the Documentation.

8.2. Customer Indemnification.

8.3. Procedures. The indemnified party will provide the indemnifying party with: (a) prompt written notice of any matter that is subject to indemnification hereunder; (b) the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any such matter (provided that the indemnified party may participate in the defense at its own expense); and (c) cooperation with any reasonable requests assisting the indemnifying party’s defense of such matter. The indemnifying party may not settle any such lawsuit or proceeding without the indemnified party’s prior written consent.

8.4. Exclusive Remedy. This Section 8 states the indemnifying party’s sole liability, and the indemnifying party’s exclusive remedy, for any type of claim described in this Section 8.

9.1. Exclusion of Certain Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, COVER, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

9.3. Scope.

For a period of 30 days following any termination of this Agreement, Runway will, upon Customer’s request, provide Customer with an export of all current Customer Content in the format agreed by the Parties.

11.4. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement, and any disputes arising out of or related hereto, will be governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules or the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. The state and federal courts located in New York County, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Each Party hereby waives any right to jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement.

There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

11.7. Waiver. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of that right.

11.8. Severability.

11.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any addenda hereto and all Orders, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or representations, written or oral, concerning Customer’s purchase and use of the Service and any Professional Services. In entering into the Agreement, neither party has relied on, and neither party will have any right or remedy based on, any statement, representation or warranty, except those expressly described in the Agreement. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by each of the Parties. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and any addendum hereto or any Order, the terms of such addendum or Order will prevail. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no terms or conditions stated in any Customer purchase order or other Customer order documentation (excluding Orders) will be incorporated into or form any part of this Agreement, and all such terms or conditions will be null and void. As used herein, the words “include” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
