This obligation does not apply to information that:

Confidentiality obligations survive termination of our service relationship for a period of three years.

8. Disclaimers and Warranties

We warrant that services will be performed with reasonable skill and care consistent with professional standards in our industry. However, we make no warranties regarding specific business outcomes or results from implemented synthesis systems.

We do not warrant that:

• Synthesis implementations will meet all business objectives or expectations
• Systems will operate error-free or without interruption
• Results will be achieved within specific timeframes
• Third-party platforms used in synthesis will remain available or unchanged

AI technology continues to evolve, and synthesis results depend on many factors beyond our control including data quality, business process adherence, and external platform capabilities.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claims arising from or related to our services shall not exceed the fees paid by you for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

We shall not be liable for:

• Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
• Business interruption or operational losses
• Damages resulting from third-party platforms or services
• Claims arising more than 12 months after the circumstances giving rise to the claim

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory under which liability is asserted and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Synthica, its directors, employees, and contractors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your breach of these Terms or applicable laws
• Your use of implemented synthesis systems
• Misrepresentation or inaccuracy of information you provide
• Your violation of third-party rights
• Your failure to maintain appropriate security measures

11. Termination

Either party may terminate ongoing service agreements with 30 days written notice. Termination does not affect obligations for services already performed or fees already incurred.

We may terminate services immediately if:

• You breach these Terms and fail to remedy within 14 days of notice
• Payment obligations remain unfulfilled for more than 30 days
• Continuing services would violate applicable law

Upon termination, you must pay for all services completed up to the termination date. We will return or destroy your confidential information as requested, subject to legal retention requirements. Provisions regarding intellectual property, confidentiality, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution survive termination.

12. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform obligations due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, government actions, labor disputes, or failures of third-party services or infrastructure. The affected party must notify the other party promptly and use reasonable efforts to resume performance. If force majeure continues for more than 60 days, either party may terminate the affected service agreement without penalty.

13.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict of law principles.

13.2 Jurisdiction

The courts of Singapore shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising from or in connection with these Terms or their subject matter.

13.3 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, parties agree to attempt good faith negotiations to resolve disputes. Either party may request a meeting to discuss the matter, and both parties will participate in such discussions in good faith.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

14.3 Waiver

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets upon notice to you.
