Welcome to SimplyAsk.ai. By accessing or using our websites (https://simplyask.ai or https://symphona.ai) or our AI-automation platform, Symphona (together, the âServicesâ), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the âTermsâ). Please read them carefully.
Throughout these Terms, âSimplyAsk.aiâ, âweâ, âusâ and âourâ refer to SimplyAsk.ai Inc.; âyouâ and âyourâ refer to the individual or entity that uses the Services; and you and we are referred to collectively as the âPartiesâ or individually as a âPartyâ.

1.2Â If you have executed a separate written software licence, master services agreement or similar contract with SimplyAsk.ai that expressly governs your use of the Services (an âEnterprise Agreementâ), or if you access the Services through an Authorized Resale Partner and have executed a Consent & Acknowledgment side letter with SimplyAsk.ai (a âSide Letterâ), then the Enterprise Agreement or Side Letter (as applicable) will prevail over any directly conflicting provision of these Terms, including without limitation the liability cap in Section 14.

The seat of arbitration is Vancouver, British Columbia; the language is English. The Parties agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any arbitration or litigation shall be conducted solely on an individual basis and not as a class or representative action.
20.3Â Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding Sections 19.1 and 19.2, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim, interlocutory or permanent injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of its Confidential Information or the infringement of its Intellectual Property Rights, without first commencing arbitration and without the requirement to post security.
