Last updated: 4 March 2025
SIGNATURE AI: Platform Terms and Conditions
These Signature AI Terms and Conditions and the Order Form (together, the “Agreement”), set out the terms and conditions that govern Customer’s rights to access and use the Signature AI Platform (including to generate certain Outputs).
Unless otherwise defined in the body of the Agreement or above, any capitalised terms herein have the meaning given to them in Section 16.
THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. PLATFORM ACCESS
1.1 Platform Access. Signature AI grants Customer a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable and non-transferable (subject only to Section 15.6) right during the Term for Customer’s Authorised Users (up to the limits on the number of such Authorised Users set out in the Order Form) (if any) to access the Platform via the Platform Interface to use the ordinary features and functionalities of the Platform as part of its internal business operations. Where Customer is a marketing or advertising agency, use of the Platform to deliver services (including Outputs) to Customer’s own clients shall be deemed “internal business operations” provided always that Customer’s use of the Platform is compliant with the terms of this Agreement (including but not limited to the terms of Section 5).
1.2 Authorised Users. Customer is solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its Authorised Users. Customer shall immediately notify Signature AI of any unauthorised use of any Authorised User’s usernames, passwords and other necessary credentials for the Platform (“Access Credentials”). Customer shall: (a) ensure that: (i) only Authorised Users access the Platform; and (ii) each Authorised User maintains the confidentiality of their Access Credentials; (b) not allow any Access Credentials allocated to an Authorised User to be used by more than one individual Authorised User; and (c) immediately notify Signature AI if any Authorised User ceases to be employed or otherwise engaged by Customer.
1.3 AI Models. Core elements of the Platform incorporate functionality of, or enable access to, certain artificial intelligence models, algorithms, and platforms (“AI Models”), which will be used as selected by the operation of the Platform as part of its agentic model-selection functionality that selects the optimised AI Model(s) to generate Outputs based upon Customer’s Inputs. Customer acknowledges and agrees to the selection and use of these AI Models to generate Outputs and otherwise to facilitate performance of this Agreement and operation of the Platform.
1.4 Responsible Usage Guidelines. In connection with any use of the Platform (including generation of Outputs) and use of Outputs, Customer shall, and shall procure that its Authorised Users shall, comply with the Responsible Usage Guidelines set out at www.signature.ai/responsibleuse (as may be varied from time to time on notice by Signature AI, including by posting any replacement guidelines online at https://www.signature.ai/legal/responsible-use-guidelinese or a webpage notified to Customer) (the “Responsible Usage Guidelines”). Customer acknowledges that Signature AI may (but is under no obligation to) use certain technologies (including artificial intelligence-powered systems) to screen Inputs submitted to the Platform to block the generation of certain Outputs which would, or is assessed by such systems as likely to, breach the Responsible Usage Guidelines.
1.5 Availability. Signature AI will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the operation and availability of the Platform subject always to (a) any scheduled or emergency maintenance or upgrades (including associated downtime); and/or (b) circumstances outside Signature AI’s reasonable control (including any Force Majeure Event); and/or (c) resulting from any breach, non-performance or any other default by Customer under this Agreement (including any failure to meet any of the dependencies set out in Section 7).
2. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSING
2.1 Signature AI Ownership. As between the Parties, Signature AI retains sole ownership of all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Signature AI Technology. Customer will not acquire any right, title or interest in or to the Signature AI Technology (subject only to the limited rights expressly granted in Sections 1.1 and 2.3 (as applicable)), and Signature AI reserves all rights therein and thereto not expressly granted in this Agreement.
2.2 Customer Ownership. Customer retains sole ownership of all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to all Inputs and Connected Data. Customer ownership and usage rights with respect to Outputs are as set out in and determined by Section 2.3.
2.3 Outputs. With respect to Outputs: (a) Signature AI hereby automatically assigns all its Intellectual Property Rights in and to Outputs to Customer; and (b) Signature AI shall automatically generate an Output Ownership Certificate in respect of each Output, which may be accessed and downloaded by Customer for its records via a link presented to Customer via the user-interface on the Platform within Customer’s account..
2.4 Licence to Signature AI. Customer hereby grants to Signature AI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully paid-up licence during the Term to use any Customer Content, any Connected Applications, and under any other relevant Intellectual Property Rights owned or licensed by Customer, as necessary to provide, operate and make available the Platform to Customer in accordance with this Agreement. Furthermore, Customer acknowledges that Signature AI may collect and use general usage information about use of the Platform, to be compiled into an aggregated or de-identified form, for use to: (a) enhance, develop or improve the Signature AI Technology; (b) provide analytics and benchmarking services; and (c) generate and disclose statistics regarding use of the Platform, provided, however, that no Customer-only statistics will be disclosed to third parties.
2.5 No Training. Signature AI will not use any Customer Content, nor any Outputs, to create, train, test, refine or improve any artificial intelligence systems or models (including architectures, weights, (hyper)parameters, coefficients, embeddings, calibrations and algorithms (whether or not, instantiated in software code)); provided that, such Customer Content and/or Outputs may be used to train and improve any Customer-dedicated predictive model which is made accessible via the Platform solely to and for the benefit of Customer (each such model, a “Dedicated Model”). No Dedicated Model shall be made available by Signature AI for use by any other Signature AI customers.

The Workshops will involve: (i) demonstrations by Signature AI attendees of the best ways to utilise the features and functionalities of the Platform; and (ii) practical “exercises” where Customer’s Authorised Users execute a campaign brief using the Platform live in front of the Signature AI attendees at the Workshop, who then guide the Customer’s Authorised Users as to best ways to use the Platform for that purpose.
(c) Duration and Location. Workshops shall last one day (approximately eight hours, including breaks for refreshments and lunch) and will be held via remote meeting or in-person at a location to be agreed by the Parties, as identified in the Order Form.

4.6 Late payments. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to Signature AI, if Customer fails to pay any sums by the due date: (a) any such sums will accrue interest equal to the higher of: (i) six percent (6%) per annum above the Bank of England’s base lending rate from time to time; or (ii) the default statutory rate applicable from time to time under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly, from the time the indebtedness arose, with interest on all overdue interest accruing at the same rate and calculated and payable in the same manner until fully paid, whether before or after judgment; and (b) Signature AI may suspend the provision of any access to the Platform upon five (5) days’ prior notice until payment of the sums is made by Customer in full without liability to Customer or prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Signature AI in the circumstances.
5. RESTRICTIONS
