+ + p("The license is scoped to the number of authorized seats, devices, or instances specified in the Order Form. Customer may not exceed the licensed scope without executing a seat expansion. Neuron will not invoice retroactively for inadvertent overage of fewer than 10% of contracted seats if Customer notifies Neuron and brings usage into compliance within 30 days.")

When Customer activates network features — including relay, peer-to-peer sync, or collaborative features — data required to operate those features may be transmitted to other network participants or Neuron infrastructure; such transmission is limited to the minimum required, excludes Customer's memory graph and conversation history unless Customer explicitly enables a sharing feature, and is used only to deliver the activated feature. Network features route data through Neuron's messaging backplane. That data is encrypted end-to-end — Neuron cannot read it — and is not stored or retained after transmission.")

Termination under this section is subject to the notice and cure provisions of § 10.")

Neuron Aligned Partner Program
-
This Enterprise Agreement ("Agreement") is between Neuron, LLC ("Neuron") and the organization entering into an enterprise relationship ("Customer"). It governs all enterprise deployments, including Team, Enterprise, and Private Cloud tiers.
-
This Agreement supplements the Neuron Terms of Service. In the event of conflict, this Agreement controls for enterprise use.
+
+
Participation in the Neuron Aligned Partner Program is entirely voluntary. No enterprise customer is required to participate, and the standard enterprise relationship under this Agreement is not conditioned on it.
+
+
An organization that chooses to participate executes a Neuron Aligned Partner Addendum ("Partner Addendum"), a separate document supplementing this Agreement. In the Partner Addendum, Customer makes the following certification:
+
+
+
"We are deploying Neuron to make our people more capable, not to eliminate them. Reducing headcount is not a primary objective of this deployment. We commit to using this technology in a manner consistent with the welfare of our workforce, and we will notify Neuron if our intentions change in ways that materially contradict this commitment."
+
+
+
Partners who execute the Partner Addendum receive:
+
+ - Preferential per-seat pricing — specific discount terms are disclosed at the time of certification and reflected in the Order Form
+ - Membership in the Neuron Aligned Partner Network, a private community of organizations that have made the same commitment
+ - Optional public listing as a Neuron Aligned Partner — a signal to employees and the market that AI is being used to expand human capability, not eliminate it
+ - Priority consideration in the enterprise roadmap — Aligned Partners are given more weight in feature prioritization and deployment planning
+ - Direct access to Neuron leadership for roadmap input and partnership discussions
+
+
+
The certification is self-attested and made in good faith. Neuron does not audit deployment usage to verify the commitment, but relies on the integrity of the partner's representation. If Neuron determines, based on credible evidence, that a partner's use of the platform is materially inconsistent with the certification, Neuron may revoke partner status with 30 days' notice and adjust pricing to standard enterprise rates at the next renewal.
+

Data and Privacy
-
-
Neuron's architecture is designed to minimize data exposure. In private cloud and air-gapped deployments, no data leaves Customer's infrastructure. Neuron has no access to Customer data in these configurations.
-
In cloud-hosted deployments, Neuron processes Customer data solely to deliver the contracted services. Customer data is stored in an isolated tenant, is not commingled with other customers' data, and is not used for model training, analytics, or any purpose beyond service delivery. When Customer activates network features — including relay, peer-to-peer sync, or collaborative features — data required to operate those features may be transmitted to other network participants or Neuron infrastructure; such transmission is limited to the minimum required, excludes Customer's memory graph and conversation history unless Customer explicitly enables a sharing feature, and is used only to deliver the activated feature. Network features route data through Neuron's messaging backplane. That data is encrypted end-to-end — Neuron cannot read it — and is not stored or retained after transmission. Activation of any network feature by Customer constitutes acknowledgment and consent on behalf of Customer and its users to both the functional transmission and the aggregate processing described in this section.
-
Customer owns all data processed through the platform. Upon termination, Customer data is returned or destroyed within 30 days at Customer's election. We do not retain copies.
-
Where required by applicable law, Neuron will execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) as a supplement to this Agreement. Contact enterprise@neurontechnologies.ai to initiate.

Values Alignment
-
-
Neuron is built on the principle that AI should expand human capability, not replace it. We are selective about the organizations we work with.
-
Customer represents that it does not intend to use Neuron primarily as a tool to eliminate employee positions, reduce headcount through automation in ways that harm workers, or otherwise use the platform in ways inconsistent with the welfare of the people who work in Customer's organization.
-
Neuron reserves the right to decline, not renew, or terminate any enterprise agreement where Neuron determines, in its reasonable judgment, that the Customer's use of the platform is fundamentally misaligned with these principles.
-
We will not enter into agreements with organizations whose primary business model, as Neuron determines in good faith, depends on practices that systematically harm workers, small businesses, or communities. This is not a standard clause in most software agreements. We mean it.

- § 11
-
Limitation of Liability
-
-
NEURON'S TOTAL LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
-
NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.
-
These limitations do not apply to: (a) Customer's payment obligations; (b) breaches of confidentiality; or (c) a party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Governing Law and Disputes
-
-
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.
-
The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation before initiating litigation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration under AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court for IP or confidentiality violations.
