Terms of Service

Because what's a few rules between friends?

General Terms

These Terms of Service (Terms) are entered into between PredictHQ Limited (New Zealand company number 5049540, with its registered office at Level 4, 1 Albert Street, Auckland, New Zealand) (PredictHQ) and the customer party named during the Sign-up Process or (if applicable) listed in a signed Order Form which incorporates these Terms (Customer), being a person or entity that has agreed to be bound by these Terms and (where applicable) such Order Form. These Terms apply to Customer’s access to and use of PredictHQ's event searching solution, PredictHQ Data and all related services, data, software and other tools (the PredictHQ Services), which PredictHQ has agreed to make available to Customer, as specified (and subject to the terms and restrictions) in the applicable Service Plan and/or Order Form.

  1. 1. About these Terms and our Service Plans

    1. 1.1  The Glossary in Section 11 of these Terms defines words and phrases used throughout.
    2. 1.2  PredictHQ offers the PredictHQ Services in the following range of Service Plans (14-Day Trial, Free, Starter or Premium), further details, features and pricing of which can be found on the Website:
      1. a) 14-Day Trial Plan: A 14-Day Trial Plan is limited to a 14 day trial period and provides access to PredictHQ Data across a range of Event Categories and Cities.
      2. b) Free Plan: At the end of the 14-Day Trial Plan period, the Service Plan will automatically convert to a 'Free Plan' (which provides access to a narrower range of PredictHQ Data and locations), unless Customer elects to cancel its subscription or upgrade to a Starter or Premium Plan.
      3. c) Starter Plan: A Starter Plan allows Customer to select the number of Event Categories and Cities (based on PredictHQ's geographic definitions) that it would like access to, subject to a maximum number. Pricing for the Starter Plan is determined by the number of Event Categories and Cities selected by Customer, and by its preferred payment terms (monthly or annually).
      4. d) Premium Plan: A Premium Plan applies where Customer wishes to select a greater number of Event Categories and/or Cities than is covered by the Starter Plan, and will be subject to separately agreed terms and pricing.
    3. 1.3  Order Forms: In some cases, PredictHQ and Customer may agree separate or additional terms relating to a Service Plan in one or more Order Form(s), in which case, that Order Form will take precedence over these Terms in the case of inconsistency. If Customer has not entered into a separate Order Form with PredictHQ, then references in these Terms to 'Order Forms' (or terms contained in those Order Forms) do not apply.
  2. 2. Term and Termination

    1. 2.1  These Terms (and Customer’s Service Plan for the PredictHQ Services) commence upon:
      1. a) Where Customer has subscribed to the PredictHQ Services by entering into an Order Form: the Effective Date of the first Order Form, and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Section 2, will continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Order Form Term. For each Order Form, unless otherwise specified therein, the Order Form Term shall begin as of the effective date set forth on such Order Form, and unless earlier terminated as set forth herein, (i) shall continue for the initial term specified on such Order Form (the Order Form Initial Term), and (ii) following the Order Form Initial Term, shall automatically renew for additional successive periods of equal duration to the Order Form Initial Term (each, an Order Form Renewal Term) unless either party notifies the other party of such party’s intention not to renew no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Order Form Initial Term or then-current Order Form Renewal Term, as applicable; or
      2. b) Where Customer has subscribed to the PredictHQ Services via the Sign-up Process: the date on which Customer completes the Sign-up Process and provides payment details, until these Terms are terminated in accordance with this section 2,
      in each case, the "Term".
    2. 2.2  Either party may terminate these Terms immediately by written notice if the other party:
      1. a) commits a material or persistent breach of these Terms that is either not capable of remedy or has not been remedied within ten (10) Business Days of written notice requiring the defaulting party to do so; or
      2. b) becomes insolvent or bankrupt, fails to pay its debts as they fall due or becomes subject to any form of insolvency action or administration that is not dismissed within 120 days.
    3. 2.3  Without prejudice to PredictHQ’s rights under section 2.2, PredictHQ may immediately suspend Customer’s PredictHQ account and/or access to the PredictHQ Services if at any time PredictHQ reasonably believes that such suspension is reasonably necessary to protect the integrity, security or performance of the PredictHQ Services or PredictHQ’s systems, or PredictHQ’s Intellectual Property Rights, or those of PredictHQ’s licensors, customers or partners. PredictHQ will endeavour to notify Customer where PredictHQ takes any suspension action under this Section 2.3. Pending the outcome of PredictHQ’s investigations, PredictHQ may either restore Customer’s access to the PredictHQ Services or terminate these Terms in accordance with Section 2.2(a).
    4. 2.4  Subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.4, Customer may terminate these Terms (and with it, its Service Plan) at any time by cancelling its account under the 'Account Settings' (Organization 🡪 Delete this Organization) on the Website. Customer's account and Service Plan will remain active until the last day of the current Subscription Period (annual or monthly) for which it has paid the Fees. PredictHQ will not be required to provide Customer with any refund of prepaid Fees if it chooses to terminate under this Section 2.4. This Section 2.4 does not apply where Customer has entered into an Order Form (in which case Section 2.1(a) instead applies).
    5. 2.5  Upon termination or expiry of these Terms for any reason:
      1. a) the termination or expiry shall be without prejudice to either party's accrued rights and remedies;
      2. b) all licenses and other rights of use granted (including Customer’s right to continue using any aspect of the PredictHQ Services) under these Terms will immediately terminate;
      3. c) Customer must pay all Fees due within thirty (30) days of termination;
      4. d) if Customer requests within one (1) month of termination, PredictHQ will remove or delete all Customer Data from PredictHQ’s systems and certify in writing that PredictHQ has done so;
      5. e) at the request of a party, promptly return or destroy all that party’s Confidential Information in the holder’s possession or control, and certify in writing that it has done so; and
      6. f) sections 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11, together with any other provisions that are by their nature intended to survive, will remain in effect.
    6. 2.6  On termination or expiry of the Term, the Customer must permanently delete all PredictHQ Data in its possession or control and certify (on request) to PredictHQ that it has done so. Customer must also permanently delete any Derived Data or other derivative forms of work formed from the use of the PredictHQ Data.

    2. b)  Beam is PredictHQ's Impact Prediction Engine and uses transactional data provided by Customer (constituting Customer Data) to identify demand impact correlation with known events. Section 5.4 of these Terms applies to any Customer Data provided by Customer when using Beam, meaning that:
      1. i)  Customer remains owner of all of the IP Rights to Customer Data; and
      2. ii)  Customer grants to PredictHQ a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable license to use, store, copy, modify, make available and communicate that Customer Data for the purposes of: undertaking analysis and time series modelling to identify and report on correlations between Customer Data and events; generation and publication of Insights (which includes: (A) graphs, reports and data provided to Customer; and (B) insights, trends, analysis, data, content and anecdotes drawn from correlations between Customer Data and events and other data which may then be used in PredictHQ algorithms and/or published (on an anonymised basis) in PredictHQ products, reports and other materials); and otherwise providing the Beam service and performing PredictHQ obligations under these Terms.
    3. c)  Customer will ensure that Customer Data provided for use in Beam is limited to its business’ transactional data only and must not include any personal data or personally identifiable information (as defined in any applicable privacy law(s)) (Personal Information). PredictHQ does not need to receive or use, and does not request, any Personal Information in relation to Beam (other than contact details of individuals at Customer's organisation who are authorised to use, or with whom PredictHQ corresponds in relation to, Beam or other PredictHQ Services). Customer warrants and represents that:
      1. i.  it is authorised to provide and license the Customer Data to PredictHQ for our use in accordance with these Terms and that PredictHQ's use of it in accordance with these Terms will not infringe any person’s rights; and

      3. iii)  Customer can delete its Customer Data from PredictHQ systems at any time using the features in the Control Center.

    5. e)  Reports and other insights:

      1. i)  PredictHQ will use Customer Data to generate, through Beam, and deliver to Customer analysis and conclusions in graphical form via the PredictHQ Control Center and as a PDF report (Reports). Those Reports are provided to Customer free of charge. Additional data and derived insights can be provided by way of CSV export where included in PredictHQ Services purchased by Customer.
      2. ii)  PredictHQ will own all IP Rights in the Reports (and all analysis and content contained within them) and all other Insights that may incorporate or use analysis or trends identified or generated through use of Customer Data.

Customer shall ensure that all stored PredictHQ Data is kept secure and is not accessed or used by anyone outside Customer's organization.
      2. b)  Data Analysis: Customer may undertake Data Analysis on stored PredictHQ Data (where storage has been authorized by PredictHQ). “Data Analysis” means, in respect of the PredictHQ Data, the performance of any analysis, modelling, inspection, reasoning or other application of data science processes or tools, for the purposes of generating insights, reports, conclusions or other information.

    3. 5.3  All Intellectual Property Rights in PredictHQ Data remain vested in PredictHQ and PredictHQ’s licensors, and Customer’s rights are limited to viewing and (solely to the extent permitted under the Permitted Use) using the PredictHQ Data strictly in accordance with the terms of the Data License and these Terms.

Each Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with: (i) prompt written notice of any claim (provided that a failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations if the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) the option to assume sole control over the defense and settlement of any claim (provided that the Indemnitee may participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense); and (iii) reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense).
