End User License Agreement

This End User License Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement between iPlateia ("iPlateia", "we", "us") and the individual or legal entity that downloads, installs, accesses, or uses the SORI SDK or the SORI API (the "Licensee", "you"). By downloading, installing, integrating, or otherwise using the Licensed Materials defined below, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, do not use the Licensed Materials.

WARNING

This page states the standard terms for use of the SORI SDK and the SORI API. Where you have signed a separate written commercial agreement with iPlateia, that agreement prevails over this page to the extent of any conflict. This page is published for reference and does not replace an executed commercial agreement.

1. Definitions

• Licensed Materials — the SORI SDK distributions for supported platforms, the SORI API, the SORI Console, and the accompanying documentation, sample code, and Credentials made available by iPlateia.
• SORI SDK — the client libraries and binary artifacts distributed by iPlateia for integration into your applications.
• SORI API — the campaign delivery, recognition-event reporting, and management interfaces operated by iPlateia.
• Application — your own software product into which you integrate the SORI SDK, registered under your SORI Console account.
• Credentials — the App ID, secret key, tokens, and any other authentication material issued to you through the SORI Console.
• End User — a person who uses your Application.
• Recognition Data — signature identifiers, recognition results, campaign responses, and related statistics produced by the Licensed Materials.

2. What iPlateia provides

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and with any applicable commercial agreement, iPlateia provides:

• SDK distributions. Platform SDK artifacts for the platforms published in this documentation, together with installation and implementation guides and release notes.
• Recognition and campaign service. On-device audio recognition through the SORI SDK, with campaign delivery and reporting through the SORI API, within the operational limits of your plan or commercial agreement.
• SORI Console access. An account through which you manage materials, audio markers, campaigns, members, applications, and Credentials. You operate your Console account independently; iPlateia does not use it to run your service on your behalf.
• Documentation and support. This public technical documentation and the support channels described in your plan or commercial agreement. Support scope, response times, and service levels are not established by this page.

3. Grant of license

iPlateia grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license, for the term of this Agreement, to:

1. install and use the SORI SDK to develop, test, and operate your own Applications;
2. reproduce and distribute the SORI SDK only as an integrated, non-separable component of your Applications, in object or binary form;
3. use the SORI API and the SORI Console to operate those Applications; and
4. use the documentation and sample code internally for the purposes above.

Sample code published in this documentation may be copied and modified within your Applications. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by iPlateia.

4. Your obligations

• Registration. Use the Licensed Materials only with Applications registered under your SORI Console account, using Credentials issued to you.
• Credential protection. Keep your secret key confidential, do not publish it or embed it where it can be trivially extracted, do not share it across organizations, and revoke and reissue it promptly if it is exposed.
• End User disclosure and consent. Your Application captures audio through the device microphone. You are responsible for obtaining the platform permissions and any consent required by applicable law, and for disclosing in your own privacy notice that audio is processed for content recognition. Where recognition can continue while your Application is not in the foreground, you must give End Users a clear way to stop it.
• Content rights. You are responsible for holding the rights necessary to register and use your materials, audio markers, campaign assets, and metadata.
• Legal and platform compliance. Comply with applicable laws, including data protection law, and with the rules of the app stores and platforms through which you distribute your Applications.
• Notices. Retain all copyright, trademark, and proprietary notices included in the Licensed Materials.

5. Prohibited conduct

You must not, and must not permit any third party to:

1. Reverse engineer. Decompile, disassemble, deobfuscate, extract embedded models or reference datasets, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, fingerprinting method, protocol internals, or structure of the Licensed Materials, except to the extent this restriction is unenforceable under applicable law.
2. Modify or derive. Alter, adapt, translate, patch, repackage, or create derivative works of the SORI SDK, or access its internals other than through its documented public interfaces.
3. Redistribute. Sell, sublicense, lease, rent, lend, host, or otherwise make the SORI SDK or the SORI API available to third parties as a standalone component, wrapper, proxy, reseller offering, or competing service.
4. Circumvent controls. Bypass or tamper with authentication, license validation, rate limits, quotas, usage metering, or any technical protection measure; use Credentials issued to another party; or disclose Credentials to unauthorized parties.
5. Abuse the service. Generate artificial, automated, replayed, spoofed, or otherwise fabricated recognition events, impressions, clicks, or reports; inflate or distort statistics; run load, stress, penetration, or scraping activity against the SORI API without prior written authorization; or place an unreasonable load on the service.
6. Build a competing dataset. Use the Licensed Materials or Recognition Data to develop, train, publicly benchmark, or improve any competing audio recognition, fingerprinting, or watermarking technology, or to accumulate a fingerprint or reference dataset outside the service.
7. Misuse data. Attempt to re-identify individuals from Recognition Data, combine it with other data to profile End Users in violation of applicable law, or use the Licensed Materials for covert surveillance, eavesdropping, or any capture that End Users have not been informed of.
8. Use unlawfully. Use the Licensed Materials for any unlawful, deceptive, infringing, or harmful purpose, or in a way that damages iPlateia, its licensors, or any third party.
9. Misrepresent. Imply endorsement, certification, or partnership by iPlateia beyond what is granted in writing, or use iPlateia trademarks without permission.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

THE LICENSED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Without limiting the above, iPlateia does not warrant that:

• recognition will succeed, or will succeed within any particular time, for a given audio material, playback volume, distance, ambient noise level, or device microphone;
• recognition results, campaign delivery, or reports will be complete, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of false or missed matches;
• the SORI API will be available without interruption, or that maintenance, degradation, and outages will not occur;
• operating-system audio capture behavior, background-execution policy, permission models, or third-party platform and store policies will remain unchanged, or that the Licensed Materials will be unaffected by such changes;
• the Licensed Materials will be compatible with every device, OS version, audio configuration, or other SDK present in your Application; or
• the Licensed Materials are suitable for safety-critical, medical, emergency, legally evidentiary, or life-sustaining use.

TIP

Platform-level limitations that are already known and documented are listed in Known Caveats. Reviewing that page is part of a correct integration.

7. Ownership

The Licensed Materials are licensed, not sold. iPlateia and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Materials, including all intellectual property rights, the recognition algorithms, the fingerprint and signature formats, and all improvements to them. You retain all rights in your Applications and in the content you register, excluding the Licensed Materials embedded in them. Feedback you choose to send us may be used to improve the Licensed Materials without obligation to you.

8. Fees, plans, and usage limits

Access may be subject to fees, quotas, and operational limits set out in your plan or commercial agreement. iPlateia may apply reasonable technical limits to protect service stability. Where you expect a significant short-term increase in traffic, notify iPlateia in advance as described in the FAQ so that capacity can be prepared.

9. Changes to the Licensed Materials

iPlateia may update, improve, or discontinue parts of the Licensed Materials, including SDK interfaces and API behavior. Material breaking changes will be communicated through release notes or direct notice where practicable. You are responsible for keeping your integration on a supported version.

10. Term and termination

This Agreement takes effect when you first use the Licensed Materials and continues until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by ceasing all use and removing the SORI SDK from your Applications. iPlateia may suspend access or terminate this Agreement immediately if you breach it, if suspension is required to protect the service or to comply with law, or as provided in your commercial agreement.

On termination you must stop all use of the Licensed Materials, remove the SORI SDK from Applications you distribute after that date, and delete or destroy copies of the Licensed Materials and Credentials in your control. Sections 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IPLATEIA SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LICENSED MATERIALS OR THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Where liability cannot be excluded, iPlateia's total aggregate liability is limited to the amounts you paid to iPlateia for the Licensed Materials during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or, where no fees were paid, to the minimum amount permitted by applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law.

12. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify iPlateia against third-party claims arising from your Applications, the content and campaigns you register, your handling of End User data, or your breach of this Agreement, except to the extent the claim arises from iPlateia's own breach or unlawful conduct.

13. Confidentiality, export, and compliance

Non-public information about the Licensed Materials, including Credentials, pre-release artifacts, and technical details not published in this documentation, is confidential and must be protected with at least reasonable care. You must comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws and must not make the Licensed Materials available where doing so is prohibited.

14. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of Korea, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Seoul, Republic of Korea, unless your commercial agreement provides otherwise.

15. Changes to this Agreement

iPlateia may revise this Agreement. Revisions take effect when they are published on this page. Continued use of the Licensed Materials after publication constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

16. General

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign this Agreement without iPlateia's prior written consent. This Agreement, together with any applicable commercial agreement, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Licensed Materials.
