3. The Service
a) Description
Firstbell is a pre-event meeting engine for B2B sales teams. The Service collects publicly available information from Public Web Sources — including Conference websites, speaker directories, exhibitor pages, and other publicly accessible web pages — to identify Conference attendees, enrich their profiles, score them against Your ICP, and enable You to initiate outreach and book meetings prior to a Conference.
b) Data Collection Methods
You acknowledge and agree that:
i) The Service collects Prospect Data exclusively from Public Web Sources — that is, information that is freely accessible on the open web without requiring login, authentication, or access to any private platform, API, or database;
ii) The Service does not scrape, crawl, or access LinkedIn's platform, API, or any data behind LinkedIn's login wall. Any professional information displayed by the Service is obtained from Public Web Sources only;
iii) The Service does not access, use, or require Your personal social media accounts, including LinkedIn; and
iv) Data availability depends on what Conference organizers and attendees make publicly accessible, and may vary between Conferences.
c) Data Accuracy and Outcomes
You acknowledge and agree that:
i) Prospect Data is derived from Public Web Sources and may not be complete, accurate, or current;
ii) ICP match scores are algorithmic estimates and do not guarantee the suitability of any prospect;
iii) We do not control or guarantee the availability, accuracy, or completeness of information published on Public Web Sources;
iv) Attendance at a Conference by any identified prospect is not guaranteed by Us;
v) We make no guarantees regarding the number of meetings booked, conversion rates, or any specific business outcomes; and
vi) Any statistics, benchmarks, or illustrative figures referenced on Our website or marketing materials — including but not limited to average meetings booked, match accuracy rates, or conversion rates — are aggregate historical estimates provided for informational purposes only, do not constitute representations or warranties, do not form part of these Terms, and Your individual results may vary materially.
d) Service Modifications
We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue any feature or aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify You of material changes that adversely affect Your use of the Service.

Summary: Firstbell helps You find and book meetings using publicly available web data. We do not scrape LinkedIn or access private platforms. We cannot guarantee data accuracy or specific business outcomes. Marketing claims on Our website are not contractual commitments.

e) Aggregate and Anonymized Data
We may collect, create, and use aggregate, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from Your use of the Service for any lawful purpose, including product improvement, analytics, benchmarking, and marketing, provided such data cannot reasonably be used to identify You, any User, or any individual. This right survives termination of these Terms.

Summary: The Service and its IP belong to Us. Your Customer Data belongs to You. Prospect Data is from public sources and is not exclusively Yours. Feedback You share may be used freely by Us.

7. Data Privacy and Protection
a) Privacy Policy
Our collection, use, and processing of personal data is governed by Our Privacy Policy, available at firstbell.app/privacy. By using the Service, You acknowledge and agree that You have read and understood Our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
b) Data Processing
i) Our Role — With respect to Prospect Data that We collect from Public Web Sources and make available through the Service, We act as an independent data controller under applicable data protection laws. We determine the purposes and means of collecting and processing Prospect Data to provide the Service.
ii) Your Role — When You use Prospect Data to initiate outreach or for any other purpose within Your business operations, You act as an independent data controller for that processing. You are solely responsible for establishing a valid legal basis (such as legitimate interest) for Your processing of Prospect Data.
iii) Customer Data — With respect to any personal data contained in Your Customer Data, We act as a data processor on Your behalf. We process such data only in accordance with these Terms and Our Privacy Policy.
c) Data Processing Addendum
If applicable data protection laws require a Data Processing Agreement between the Parties (for example, under GDPR Article 28), the Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") available at firstbell.app/dpa is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the DPA and these Terms regarding data processing matters, the DPA shall prevail.
d) International Data Transfers
If We transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, We will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
e) Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach (as defined under applicable data protection law) affecting Your Customer Data, We will notify You without undue delay after becoming aware of the breach, and will provide information reasonably necessary for You to fulfill Your own breach notification obligations.
f) Sub-Processors
We may engage third-party sub-processors to assist in providing the Service. A current list of sub-processors is available at firstbell.app/sub-processors. We will notify You of any material changes to Our sub-processors by updating this list and, where required by the DPA, providing advance notice. We remain responsible for the acts and omissions of Our sub-processors.
g) Your Compliance Obligations
You are solely responsible for ensuring that Your use of Prospect Data — including storage, processing, sharing, and any outreach initiated based on such data — complies with all applicable data protection and privacy laws in Your jurisdiction and in the jurisdictions of data subjects whose data You process.

Additional details regarding Our data practices with respect to California residents are set forth in Our Privacy Policy.

Summary: We take data privacy seriously. We collect data from public web sources as an independent controller. When You use that data, You are also an independent controller with Your own compliance obligations. A DPA is available for customers who need one.

8. Fees and Payments
a) Free Plan
The Free Plan is available at no cost, subject to the allocation limits described on the Firstbell website and in these Terms. We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue the Free Plan at any time upon reasonable notice.

You may cancel automatic renewal at any time through Your Account settings. Cancellation of auto-renewal will take effect at the end of the current Subscription Period.
iii) Price Changes — We may change pricing upon thirty (30) days' prior notice. Price changes will take effect at the beginning of the next Subscription Period following notice. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. If You do not agree with a price change, You may cancel Your Subscription before the new pricing takes effect.
d) Taxes
All fees exclude applicable taxes, levies, and duties (such as VAT, sales tax, or withholding tax). You are responsible for paying all such taxes in addition to the fees owed to Us, except for taxes based solely on Our net income.
e) Refunds
Fees paid are generally non-refundable, except:
i) where required by applicable mandatory law;
ii) if We terminate Your Subscription under Section 14(c)(iii) (legal requirement) or Section 14(c)(iv) (discontinuation by Us), in which case You will receive a pro-rata refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion of the Subscription Period; or
iii) as otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
f) Late Payments
If You fail to make timely payment of any fees due, We may:
i) suspend or restrict Your access to the Service or any of its features;
ii) downgrade Your Subscription to the Free Plan; or
iii) terminate these Terms in accordance with Section 14.
You will reimburse Us for any reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue payments, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

9. Beta Features

We may make Beta Features available to You from time to time. Beta Features are optional and provided solely for evaluation purposes.
b) No Warranties
BETA FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE FUNCTIONALITY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY BETA FEATURE. BETA FEATURES MAY CONTAIN BUGS, ERRORS, OR INACCURACIES AND MAY CAUSE DATA LOSS OR OTHER ISSUES.
c) Modifications and Discontinuation
We may modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue any Beta Feature at any time, with or without notice, and without any obligation to You. Beta Features may never be released as a general availability feature.
d) Feedback on Beta Features
If You use a Beta Feature, We may request Feedback regarding Your experience. Any such Feedback is subject to Section 6(d).
e) No Reliance
You should not rely on Beta Features for production use or make business decisions based on the assumption that any Beta Feature will continue to exist or become generally available.

Summary: Beta Features are experimental. Use them at Your own risk. They may disappear at any time.

10. Indemnification
a) Your Indemnification Obligations
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Firstbell and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns ("Firstbell Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

vi) Third-Party Disputes — any dispute between You, Your Users, and any third party, including any prospect, Conference attendee, or Conference organizer.
b) Indemnification Process
We will promptly notify You of any claim subject to indemnification. Failure to provide timely notice will reduce Your obligation only to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Your ability to defend the claim. You will select counsel with Our written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). You may not settle any claim without Our prior written consent if the settlement would impose any obligation on Us or would not include a complete release of all Firstbell Indemnitees. We reserve the right to participate in or assume control of the defense at any time, at Our expense.

Summary: You are responsible for claims arising from Your use of the Service, Your data, Your outreach, and Your use of Prospect Data.

Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, government actions, embargoes, sanctions, labor disputes, power outages, internet or telecommunications failures, failures or unavailability of Public Web Sources or third-party services, cyberattacks, or denial-of-service attacks. The affected Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance as soon as practicable, and will notify the other Party of the force majeure event without undue delay.

16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply to these Terms.

17. Dispute Resolution
a) Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, You agree to first contact Us at the email address listed in Section 19 and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days from the date of Your initial notice.
b) Arbitration
If the dispute is not resolved informally within the period described above, it will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The seat of arbitration will be Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding on both Parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party will bear its own costs and attorneys' fees unless the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous, in which case the arbitrator may award reasonable costs and fees to the prevailing Party.
c) Class Action Waiver
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND FIRSTBELL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR PARTICIPANT IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR ENTITY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
d) Small Claims Exception
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the jurisdictional limits of such court.
e) Injunctive Relief Exception
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights, confidential information, or to enforce the non-compete and non-circumvention provisions of these Terms, without the requirement to post a bond or prove actual damages.
f) Survival
This Section 17 survives the termination or expiration of these Terms.

18. General Provisions
a) Entire Agreement and Integration
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the DPA (if applicable), the AUP (Section 5), and any applicable order forms, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and communications, whether written or oral. For the avoidance of doubt, no statement, information, illustration, benchmark, statistic, case study, testimonial, or other content appearing on the Firstbell website, in marketing emails, in presentations, or in any other marketing or promotional material shall constitute a representation, warranty, or contractual commitment under these Terms, unless expressly incorporated by reference herein.
b) Amendments
We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the updated version on the Firstbell website with a revised effective date. For material changes — meaning changes that materially reduce Your rights or materially increase Your obligations — We will provide at least thirty (30) days' prior notice via email to the address associated with Your Account or through a prominent notice in the Service. If You do not agree with the changes, You may terminate Your Account before the changes take effect and receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees for the unused portion of the then-current Subscription Period. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance.
c) Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
d) Waiver
Our failure or delay in exercising any right or enforcing any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Us to be effective.
e) Assignment
You may not assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms or any of Your rights or obligations hereunder without Our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without consent is void. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of Our assets, provided that the assignee assumes all obligations under these Terms. We will notify You of any such assignment.
f) No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a Party to these Terms.
g) Notices
All notices required or permitted under these Terms will be in writing and will be deemed effective: (i) when delivered personally; (ii) when sent by email (with confirmation of receipt); or (iii) one (1) business day after being sent by internationally recognized overnight courier. Notices to You will be sent to the email address associated with Your Account. Notices to Us will be sent to the contact details in Section 19.
h) Electronic Communications Consent
By creating an Account or using the Service, You consent to receive communications from Us electronically, including emails, in-app notifications, and postings on the Firstbell website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications We provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing, to the extent permitted by applicable law (including the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and applicable state laws implementing the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act).
i) Export Compliance
You represent and warrant that: (i) You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to United States comprehensive trade sanctions; (ii) You are not listed on any U.S. Government restricted parties list, including but not limited to the Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals List or the Commerce Department's Entity List; and (iii) You will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations.
j) Anti-Corruption
You represent and warrant that You will not use the Service in connection with any activity that would violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws. You will not offer, pay, promise, or authorize the payment of any money or thing of value to any government official, political party, or any other person for the purpose of influencing any act or decision to obtain or retain business.
k) Relationship of Parties
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between the Parties. Neither Party has authority to bind the other or incur obligations on the other's behalf.
l) Headings
Section headings and summaries are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
m) Language
These Terms are drafted in English. In the event of a conflict between the English version and any translation, the English version will prevail.
