Supplemental AI Terms

Last Updated: April 3, 2025

These terms (“AI Terms”), together with either the signed license and services agreement between the parties or the Strider Terms of Service found online at www.StriderIntel.com/legal (applicable if there is no manually signed agreement) and any signed order forms or statement of works (collectively, the “Agreement”), govern your use of Strider’s AI offerings, including, without limitation, Spark (collectively, the “AI Features”).

Your use of AI Features is governed by the terms set forth herein; your use of the remainder of the Strider Platform and the Strider Data is governed by the Agreement. Nothing in these AI Terms grants you any additional right or license to use Strider Data beyond what is expressly stated in your Agreement.

To the extent there is any conflict between these AI Terms and the Agreement, these AI Terms will control solely with respect to the subject matter hereof. Strider may modify, suspend, or discontinue its AI Features at any time by posting a notice on our websites, notifying you via the Strider Platform, or by sending you an email.

Definitions

“Member” means the party using the AI Features that has entered into an Agreement with Strider; also referred to as “you” in these AI Terms.

“Member Data” means any data provided by Member to Strider through the Strider Platform or as otherwise defined in the Agreement.

“Spark” means the AI-powered capabilities available in the Strider platform, including a chat interface that enables Member to submit queries through an AI-powered search as well as upload Member Data to run queries against. The use of AI Features herein refers primarily to Spark.

“Strider Data” means the data licensed by Strider to Member through the Strider Platform under the terms of the Agreement or as otherwise defined in the Agreement (excluding Member Data).

“Strider Platform” means the Strider products purchased by you and made available via the Strider web-based platform, as set out under the terms of the Agreement between you and Strider.

Optional Features

Spark is an optional feature that can be enabled as part of your subscription to the Strider Platform at no additional cost. You acknowledge that your use of Spark is in no way required in order to use the Strider Platform and that you are free to stop using Spark at any time.

Use of AI Features and Intellectual Property

When you use an AI Feature, you may provide input to be processed by one or more such AI Features (“AI Feature Input”), and receive output generated and returned in response to AI Feature Input (“ AI Feature Results”). AI Features Inputs are considered your Member Data and as between the parties, are owned by you. For the avoidance of doubt, your access to and use of AI Features does not grant Strider any additional right or license to use or share your Member Data in a manner that is inconsistent with your Agreement and Strider will not use Member Data to train any of its AI models, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Any Member Data included in the AI Feature Results is Member Data owned by Member. All other data provided in the AI Feature Results is Strider Data and is licensed to Member to use consistent with the terms of your Agreement.

As between the parties, Strider owns all right, title, and interest in and to the AI Features, including all intellectual property and proprietary rights therein.

Data Handling and Retention

Processing and Temporary Storage. Strider will process and store AI Feature Inputs and AI Feature Results solely to provide the applicable AI Features. Strider will treat AI Feature Inputs as Member’s confidential information and will not use for any reason except as necessary to provide Spark.

Deletion of Uploads. Members can upload files to Spark and run queries against such files. Strider will delete any files uploaded by Member at the end of the applicable user Session. The queries entered into Spark as AI Features Inputs and AI Feature Results will be stored in a saved search history available only for Member to use and refer back to. Member can delete its query inputs and AI Feature Results at any time within the Spark interface. A “Session” includes any continuous period during which a user is logged into the Strider Platform until that interaction ceases or times out.

Personal Data. Member acknowledges and agrees that if any personal data is included in the AI Feature Inputs, Member is solely responsible for ensuring that its provision of AI Feature Inputs containing personal data complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Strider will not use any AI Feature Inputs to train any AI models.

Use Restrictions

Member is responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of all AI Feature Inputs and the means by which Member acquires them. Member further agrees that it will not use any AI Features:

to develop, train, or improve data sets, foundation models, or other large scale models; 

to mislead any person or imply that any AI Feature Results generated using the AI Features are unique or solely human generated, or otherwise remove or alter any watermarks or metadata that may be generated with AI Feature Results to identify AI Feature Results as AI-generated; 

to generate AI Feature Results to make, or to use as a substantial factor in making, consequential decisions, as such term is defined in applicable law, or in any way that would qualify Strider’s AI Features as high-risk (or similar term) under applicable law or otherwise subject Strider to heighted regulatory or compliance requirements; or

in a way that violates applicable law or your Agreement, or that otherwise infringes on or violates any third-party rights.

Risks and Limitations

Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have known and unknown risks and limitations. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your use of the AI Features, including, without limitation, evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of any AI Feature Results, for any decisions that you or your organization make following review of any AI Feature Results, and for training the users on your account on any policies regarding the use of AI that you may have or introduce. By using any AI Features, you acknowledge and agree that:

Strider is not responsible for any inaccuracies, incompleteness, or errors in AI Feature Results;

Strider is not responsible for any biases or limitations of the underlying algorithms or data; 

Strider is not responsible for any AI Feature Results that you may find harmful, offensive, or otherwise unsuitable for its intended use; and 

that AI Features Results may not be unique and AI Features may generate the same or similar AI Features Results for any number of users, subject to the limitations herein.

If you encounter any AI Feature Results that are harmful, offensive, or not appropriate, please report it to Support@StriderIntel.com so we can continue to iterate and improve these features.

Third-Party Terms

Strider uses the third parties listed in our subprocessor list to host and provide our AI Features, including Spark. We may use additional third parties to provide other features in the future and will update our list of subprocessors accordingly. You understand and agree that each service provider may have their own AI services terms and conditions which apply to your use of the AI Features, of which Strider will give you notice of such terms, as applicable. Agreeing to abide by third-party terms and conditions may be required to access certain AI Features. 

Disclaimer and Beta Features

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN YOUR AGREEMENT, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL AI FEATURES, AND ANY AI FEATURES RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF STRIDER’S AI FEATURES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMTIATION, SPARK, ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS”, “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND AT YOUR SOLE RISK. STRIDER DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE AI FEATURES RESULTS WILL NOT INCORPORATE THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF THIRD PARTIES OR THAT ANY AI FEATURE RESULTS WILL BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE. STRIDER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO INDEMNIFY YOU AGAINST ANY CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT MADE BY THIRD PARTIES RELATED TO USE OF THE AI FEATURES OR THE AI FEATURE RESULTS AND WILL OTHERWISE HAVE NO LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY AI FEATURES OR AI FEATURE RESULTS. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON FACTUAL ASSERTIONS IN AI FEATURE RESUTLS WITHOUT INDEPENDENTLY FACT CHECKING THEIR ACCURACY. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM STRIDER OR THROUGH ANY AI FEATURES SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.

Beta Period. Currently, Spark is considered “beta” and provided in a version prior to full commercial release (“Beta Materials”). Spark will be marked as “Beta” during the beta period. During the beta period, Member’s use of Spark is subject to the following disclaimer. ALL BETA MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED TO MEMBER "AS-IS" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AND STRIDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR THE USE OF SUCH BETA MATERIALS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF SUCH BETA MATERIALS, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE. THIS SECTION SUPERSEDES ANY CONFLICTING PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Service Levels Not Applicable

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, downtime of any AI Features that result from a failure of a third-party service will not be included in any applicable uptime or other service level calculations.

Strider may update these AI Terms from time to time. When these changes are made, Strider will make a new copy of the AI terms available at www.StriderIntel.com/Legal. The new AI Terms will apply upon delivery and acceptance by click-through or otherwise.
