1.0 Order(s).
1.1. This Agreement includes any current or future purchase order for Services for 3D Services or SceneMagic AI Services, which may include specifications (collectively, the ‘Order’), submitted online or in written or electronic form between the parties. This Agreement also includes the Glossary as made available online by Nfinite. This Agreement shall be effective from the Effective Date until the last expired Order or until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the t
2.0 Use of the Nfinite Services
2.1 Subject to compliance with this Agreement, Nfinite will provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement, written guides and guidelines that describe the Services, the operating instructions, getting started guides, user manuals, and help files, in written or electronic form, made available to Customer (‘Documentation’). The Services will be provided in accordance with their own specifications as indicated in the corresponding Order and in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the SceneMagic AI Services do not include any access to a platform, nor any generation of a 3D model of the Customer's products. On the contrary, the 3D Services require the prior digitization of the Customer's products, which may include 3D modeling or other multimedia elements representing the Customer's products (‘Digital Twin’). None of Nfinite's Services consist of the generation of images directly by the Customer through the insertion of prompts.
3.0 License to Supporting Visuals and Digital Twins.
3.1. As agreed in any Order, Nfinite will provide multimedia elements (lifestyle image, video, film, augmented or virtual reality image) representing the Customer's products in various contextual settings, such as staged with furniture, in furnished rooms, with decoration, in particular in order to show examples of product use (‘Supporting Visual(s)’). In the case of the provision of 3D Services, Nfinite will also create a Digital Twin of each product, which is a prerequisite for producing the Supporting Visuals. Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, Nfinite hereby grants to Customer a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable limited license including the right to host, copy, transmit, use, reproduce and display the Supporting Visuals and if applicable the Digital Twins as strictly limited to Customer’s lawful business purposes. Any such grant of license shall be without prejudice to Nfinite's proprietary rights, including but not limited to the ability to use the Supporting Visual and Digital Twins to enhance or promote the Services, or any of Nfinite's other services, or to resell or distribute the Supporting Visuals or Digital Twins to third parties. This Agreement does not grant the Customer any rights in the software and source code that Nfinite uses or incorporates to create the Supporting Visual or Digital Twins and/or to provide the Services (’ Nfinite Technology ’). For all intents and purposes, it is specified that the Nfinite Technology does not include the Supporting Visual, the Digital Twins or any training data. It is expressly stated that the Supporting Visual may be created either as part of the provision of 3D Services or as part of the provision of SceneMagic AI Services. The same license to the Supporting Visual is granted for both Services. In the context of the provision of SceneMagic AI Services, the Supporting Visuals correspond solely to 2-dimensional photo-realistic images.
4.0 Creation of Supporting Visuals.
4.1. Services. As part of the Services, Nfinite will provide Supporting Visuals which the Customer may use to promote its products and services. All Supporting Visual is provided in accordance with the applicable Documentation and the Customer's Expectations. Nfinite will supply the number of Supporting Visual determined by the Customer for each product, by the method of transmission determined between the parties in the Order or by any other means of written exchange and depending on the Service chosen (3D or SceneMagic AI).
4.2. SceneMagic AI Services. The provisions of this paragraph apply solely to the SceneMagic AI Service. The Customer shall provide an image of its Product and the dimensions of that Product for the creation of the related Supporting Visual. Supporting Visual may only represent the Customer's Product from a single angle. Supporting Visuals are generated directly by Nfinite at the written request of the Customer as set out in an Order or any other means of exchange agreed between the parties. The Customer is free to provide information on its branding or inspirational elements to guide Nfinite's creation of the Supporting Visuals. Nfinite makes no binding commitment as to the timescale for the supply of the Supporting Visual, nor as to compliance with any instructions concerning the Supporting Visual not provided for in the Agreement or in the Order.
4.3. 3D Services. The stipulations of this paragraph apply solely to the 3D Service. The Customer must provide specific instructions for any creation of a new Supporting Visual. The 3D Services include access to the Nfinite platform, which enables the Customer to create Supporting Visual directly.
5.0 Customer Data.
5.1. Customer Data refers to all data provided by the Customer to Nfinite. Customer Data notably includes, but is not limited to, all information, products, images of the products, instructions or suggestions related to creation of the Digital Twins or Supporting Visuals. Customer Data may include software programming codes created or provided by the Customer in Customer’s use of the Services. However, Customer Data specifically excludes Supporting Visuals Nfinite Technology. Customer represents and warrants that Customer has or will procure all rights necessary for its use of any Customer Data in conjunction with the Services. Customer will have sole discretion as to which Customer Data it will utilize in connection with Customer’s use of the Nfinite Services and shall provide any and all necessary disclosures. Customer owns all right and title and is solely responsible for any use of Customer Data used during the Term of this Agreement. Customer hereby grants to Nfinite a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license during the Term extended by a further 20 years, to access, reproduce, de-identify or to otherwise use Customer Data solely for providing, supporting or improving the Services or any other Nfinite services, including to provide other services to third-party or fulfilling other obligations to Customer under this Agreement.

To the extent that any Customer provides any suggestions, enhancement request, correction, ideas or other feedback regarding the Services (“Feedback”), Customer grants Nfinite a non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free license to reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, license, distribute and otherwise commercialize the Feedback as part of any of Services.
7.0 Restrictions of Use for Nfinite Services.

16.7. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision contained herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself.
