This SaaS Terms of Service governs access to any cloud-hosted or web-based services provided by IECC under The Ivory Index brand. It supplements the EULA (which governs the desktop Software) and the MSA (if applicable). In the event of conflict with the MSA, the MSA prevails.
Article II — Service Availability
IECC's target service level objective ("SLO") for cloud Services is 99% monthly availability, calculated as: (total minutes − unplanned downtime minutes) / total minutes × 100. This SLO is an operational target and does not constitute a contractual guarantee or service level agreement ("SLA") giving rise to service credits or damages unless expressly stated in a signed SLA addendum.
Scheduled maintenance windows (notified at least 48 hours in advance), Force Majeure Events (as defined in the MSA), and degradation caused by Customer's own systems or third-party services outside IECC's control are excluded from availability calculations.
SLA Credits. Service credit arrangements are available under Enterprise tier Order Forms upon request. Absent a signed SLA addendum, failure to meet the SLO target does not give rise to refunds, credits, or damages.
Article III — Data & Security
For cloud-based Services (distinct from the local-first desktop Software):
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256 or equivalent)
IECC implements access controls, audit logging, and incident response procedures
Customer data is not used to train AI models without explicit written consent
Backups are performed daily with 30-day retention for paid tiers
IECC will notify Customer of security incidents affecting Customer data without undue delay
Article IV — Customer Responsibilities
Maintaining the security of account credentials and promptly notifying IECC of unauthorised access
Ensuring authorised users comply with this Agreement and the AUP

Article V — Service Modifications
IECC reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue cloud Services. For material changes that reduce existing functionality, IECC will provide at least 30 days' written notice. IECC will use reasonable efforts to maintain backwards compatibility. If a material modification materially impairs Customer's use, Customer may terminate the affected Order Form within 30 days of notice with a pro-rata refund of prepaid unused fees.
Article VI — Subscriptions & Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each subscription term unless either party provides written cancellation notice at least 14 days before the renewal date. Where reasonably practicable, IECC will send a renewal reminder at least 30 days prior to the renewal date. Renewal pricing is as specified in the applicable Order Form or, absent specification, at the then-current list price (with 60 days' advance notice of price changes).
Article VII — Force Majeure
Service availability obligations are subject to the Force Majeure provisions in the MSA, including cyberattacks, cloud infrastructure outages, AI model provider unavailability, and internet backbone failures.
