These Cloud Services Terms of Use (the "Terms") set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which QC Ware Corporation ("QC Ware") will provide the Cloud Services to Customer.

1. The "QC Ware Platform" is a cloud-based software platform that provides access to third party quantum annealers and circuit based quantum computers ("Quantum Hardware"). The QC Ware Platform also includes libraries, tools and other software and documentation to assist Customers to create software code that will make use of the Quantum Hardware through the QC Ware Platform.

2. Cloud Services. Subject to Customer's compliance with these Terms, QC Ware will provide Customer with access to those components of the QC Ware Platform and for the time period for which Customer has obtained a subscription (the "Cloud Services"). Customer's access to Quantum Hardware is subject to availability. Customer acknowledges that Customer Content (as defined below) may be processed by Quantum Hardware providers outside of facilities operated by QC Ware, and authorizes QC Ware to transfer Customer Content to Quantum Hardware providers for processing. If Customer is using its own account to access Quantum Hardware through the QC Ware Platform, Customer represents that Customer is in compliance with all terms and conditions of its account for the Quantum Hardware. Customer may use the Cloud Services solely for its own business purposes, but Customer may not resell, lease or otherwise allow third parties to access the Cloud Services, except subcontractors as expressly permitted herein. Customer may select its and its Affiliates' employees, subcontractors and others approved in writing by QC Ware to use the Cloud Services on its behalf but must obtain separate credentials, e.g., user IDs and passwords, for each such authorized user (each, an "Authorized User"). Customer will ensure that its granting access to any Authorized User will not violate any export control or other laws. Use of the Cloud Services is expressly limited to Customer's Authorized Users.

3. Service Changes. From time to time, QC Ware may change or discontinue any of the Cloud Services or change or remove any functionality of the Cloud Services, including changing what Quantum Hardware is available through the QC Ware Platform and the pricing for that Quantum Hardware. QC Ware may, in its sole and absolute discretion, discontinue use of web-based access to the Cloud Services and substitute alternatives such as APIs or other means to use the functionality of the Cloud Services.

4. Restrictions. Customer shall not attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Cloud Services or the QC Ware Platform or attempt to gain access to any systems or networks that connect thereto, except as required to access and use the Cloud Services. Customer shall not allow access to or use of the Cloud Services by anyone other than Authorized Users. Customer shall not: (a) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile any part of the QC Ware Platform (except to the extent applicable law does not allow this restriction); (b) access or use the QC Ware Platform in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas; (c) rent, lease, or provide access to the Cloud Services on a time-share or service bureau basis; or (d) transfer any of its rights under these Terms.

7. Third Party Requirements. If Customer performs benchmarks, comparative tests or evaluations of the Amazon Braket service ("Benchmarks"); Customer must provide all information necessary to replicate the Benchmarks to QC Ware and permit QC Ware and Amazon to disclose the Benchmarks and underlying information, and Customer must also provide all information necessary to replicate the Benchmark in any other disclosure of the Benchmark.

8. Ownership. Customer expressly acknowledges that QC Ware owns all worldwide right, title and interest in and to the Cloud Services and the QC Ware Platform, including all intellectual property rights therein.

THE CLOUD SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, AND QC WARE DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY THAT THE CLOUD SERVICES WILL BE ERROR FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT ALL ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY.

12. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL QC WARE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CLOUD SERVICES OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE CLOUD SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER HEREUNDER RELATING TO SUCH LIABILITY. QC WARE will NOT be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, arising ouT of or in connection with THE CLOUD SERVICES or inability to use the CLOUD ServiceS, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), PRODUCT LIABILITY or any other legal theory, and whether or not QC WARE has been informed of the possibility of such damage, EVEN IF A limited REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PUrPOSE.

13. Term and Termination. These Terms shall become effective when the Cloud Services commence and shall continue until the applicable ending date for the Cloud Services, unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance with these Terms.

14. Free Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, QC Ware shall not have any obligations to provide or continue to provide the Cloud Services to any Customer that is receiving the Cloud Services without a currently active, paid subscription (a "Free Account"). Customer acknowledges and agrees that QC Ware may immediately terminate, with or without prior notice to Customer, a Free Account at any time and for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, QC Ware shall not have any obligation and/or liability in connection with any Customer Content related to a Free Account including in connection with the loss of such Customer Content upon termination of such Free Account.

15. Notice. All notices, permissions and approvals will be in writing and will be deemed to have been given upon: (i) personal delivery, (ii) the second business day after mailing, or (iii) sending by confirmed email if sent during the recipient's normal business hours (or, if not, then on the next business day). Notices will be sent to the address specified by the recipient in writing when establishing Customer's account (or such other address as the recipient may thereafter specify by notice given in accordance with this Section).

16. Assignment. Customer may not assign or transfer this agreement or the Cloud Services, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of QC Ware.

QC Ware may use Customer's name, trademarks, and logos on QC Ware's website and marketing materials to identify Customer as QC Ware's customer.

19. General. Each party shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to its activities. The parties are independent contractors. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms will constitute a waiver of that right. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining Terms will remain in effect. QC Ware will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform under these Terms to the extent such delay or failure results from circumstances or causes beyond the reasonable control of QC Ware. These Terms and the document(s) reference these Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior communications, agreements, proposals or representations, written or oral, concerning its subject matter. No modification, amendment, or waiver of any of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and either signed or accepted electronically by a duly authorized representative of each party against whom the modification, amendment or waiver is to be asserted. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary therein, no additional or conflicting terms or conditions stated in Customer's purchase order or other order documentation will be incorporated into or form any part of these Terms, and all such terms or conditions will be null.
