The Software is designed to operate in conjunction with GrizCam Hardware. Grizzly Systems makes no representation that the Software will function, or continue to function, with any third-party hardware, sensors, or systems. You acknowledge that the GrizCam Hardware and Software are tightly integrated and that disabling, tampering with, modifying, or replacing firmware on the GrizCam Hardware may degrade or terminate functionality of the Software and may void any applicable hardware warranty.
§ 06 · Intellectual property ownership
6.1 Grizzly Systems IP.
As between the parties, Grizzly Systems and its licensors own and shall retain all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Software, the Services, the Documentation, the GrizCam Hardware firmware, the AI Models, all Derived Data, all Aggregated Data, all feedback, suggestions, and ideas provided by you, and all improvements, enhancements, and derivative works of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Grizzly IP”). This Agreement is a license, not an assignment, and nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership of any Grizzly IP to you.
6.2 Feedback.
If you provide Grizzly Systems with any suggestions, comments, feature requests, bug reports, ideas, know-how, or other feedback regarding the Software, the GrizCam Hardware, or any AI Models (“Feedback”), you hereby grant Grizzly Systems a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and exploit the Feedback for any purpose, without obligation or compensation to you.
6.3 Trademarks.
“Grizzly Systems” and “GrizCam,” alone and in combination, and the Grizzly Systems logo are trademarks of Grizzly Systems. You may not use these marks without Grizzly Systems’ prior written consent.
§ 07 · Customer Data — your data, your ownership
7.1 Your data belongs to you.
Grizzly Systems does not claim ownership of your Customer Data. As between you and Grizzly Systems, you retain all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Customer Data. We are your processor and custodian.
7.2 Limited license to operate the Services.
You grant Grizzly Systems and its Affiliates and service providers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, copy, cache, transcode, process, analyze, display, and otherwise use the Customer Data solely to:
- provide, operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Software, the Services, and the GrizCam Hardware;
- generate alerts, detections, classifications, reports, and other outputs for delivery to you;
- perform back-ups, redundancy, disaster recovery, and data integrity functions;
- investigate and respond to security incidents, abuse, and violations of this Agreement;
- comply with legal obligations, court orders, lawful government requests, and valid legal process; and
- train, develop, refine, evaluate, and improve AI Models, subject to Section 8.
7.3 Data confidentiality and internal access controls.
We treat your raw Customer Data as confidential. Grizzly Systems maintains technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to ensure that no Grizzly Systems personnel reviews or accesses the contents of your raw Customer Data (including the actual pixels of your images and video, the audible content of your audio recordings, or your precise GPS coordinates) except where strictly necessary to: (a) provide support specifically requested by you; (b) investigate a security incident or suspected abuse or violation of this Agreement; (c) prepare a narrowly tailored, supervised sample for the purpose of validating model performance or training pipelines, under written confidentiality and access-logging controls; or (d) comply with valid legal process. Access by Grizzly Systems personnel under (a)–(d) is logged, role-restricted, and time-limited.
7.4 No sale or distribution of your raw Customer Data.
Grizzly Systems will not sell, rent, license, lease, share-for-cross-context-behavioral-advertising, syndicate, broker, or otherwise distribute your raw Customer Data, or any subset thereof that identifies you, your land, or your GrizCam Hardware, to any third party. This commitment is subject only to: (i) sub-processors and service providers who handle Customer Data on Grizzly Systems’ behalf under written confidentiality and data-protection terms and only for the purposes described in this Agreement; (ii) successors in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all assets; (iii) compliance with valid legal process, court order, or law enforcement request; and (iv) any disclosure you expressly authorize in writing. Aggregated Data, Derived Data, and AI Models are not Customer Data and are addressed in Section 8.
§ 08 · AI training, Derived Data, and AI Models
8.1 Why this matters.
GrizCam improves with every event it processes. This section sets out, in plain terms, how Customer Data is used to train and improve the AI Models that power the product — and what Grizzly Systems will not do with the underlying data.
8.2 License for AI training.
Subject to the limitations of this Agreement, you grant Grizzly Systems and its Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable (solely to Grizzly Systems’ service providers and to successors), perpetual, and irrevocable (except as expressly set forth in Section 8.5 and 8.7) license to use Customer Data for the purposes of researching, developing, training, fine-tuning, evaluating, validating, testing, benchmarking, refining, and improving AI Models, including for the purposes of:
- improving the accuracy, precision, recall, latency, robustness, and energy efficiency of detection, classification, and prediction in the GrizCam Hardware and Software;
- developing new AI Models for species identification, behavior prediction, threat detection, environmental anomaly detection, and related capabilities;
- creating Aggregated Data and Derived Data; and
- evaluating and improving the foregoing through human-in-the-loop labeling, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), and analogous techniques, subject to the access controls described in Section 7.3.
8.3 What Grizzly Systems will do.
Grizzly Systems may, in connection with training and operating AI Models:
- Train and tune AI Models using your images, video, audio, infrared, thermal, radar, GPS, magnetometer, environmental sensor, and other Customer Data.
- Improve the GrizCam Hardware by using insights learned from Customer Data to refine firmware, sensor calibration, edge inference, power management, and detection logic.
- Generate Aggregated Data and Derived Data such as benchmarks, model weights, embeddings, statistical insights, and feature representations, all of which become Grizzly IP.
- Commercialize the AI Models by deploying, licensing, sublicensing, distributing, embedding in GrizCam Hardware, providing as a service, or otherwise monetizing the resulting AI Models, Aggregated Data, and Derived Data — including in third-party products, research collaborations, government deployments, and developer APIs.
- Publish research using Aggregated Data and Derived Data that does not identify you, your land, or your GrizCam Hardware.
8.4 What Grizzly Systems will not do.
- Sell or distribute your raw Customer Data. Grizzly Systems will not sell, license, broker, syndicate, share, or otherwise distribute your raw images, video, audio, or sensor recordings to any third party, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.4.
- Make your raw data available to other customers. Other customers will never see your raw Customer Data through the Software, including through any cross-customer dataset, marketplace, or aggregated feed.
- Use your data to identify specific individuals for surveillance purposes. Grizzly Systems will not knowingly use Customer Data to perform face recognition, biometric identification, or persistent identification of specific individuals, except where you yourself have configured such functionality on Customer Data you have lawful authority to process.
- Allow free-form browsing of your data by personnel. Routine review of raw Customer Data by Grizzly Systems personnel is prohibited except under the narrow circumstances of Section 7.3.
8.5 Outputs are ours; inputs are yours.
Customer Data remains yours. The AI Models, model weights, embeddings, feature representations, Derived Data, and Aggregated Data that result from training are Grizzly IP and are owned by Grizzly Systems. Information learned in the form of model weights and statistical patterns is not Customer Data and does not constitute distribution of your raw data, even when those models are subsequently licensed, deployed, or commercialized.
8.6 No memorization commitment.
Grizzly Systems uses commercially reasonable techniques (such as de-duplication, sampling, augmentation, differential privacy where technically feasible, and post-training evaluation) designed to reduce the risk that AI Models will reproduce identifiable portions of your raw Customer Data. You acknowledge that machine-learning systems are probabilistic and that perfect prevention of memorization is not currently achievable.
8.7 Opt-out from AI training.
You may elect to opt out of the use of your Customer Data for AI training pursuant to Section 8.2(a)–(d) by toggling the “Exclude My Data From AI Training” setting in your account through the GrizCam Portal, GrizCam Desktop, or GrizCam Mobile application, or by submitting a written request to privacy@grizzlysystems.io. This opt-out is available to all Licensees regardless of Subscription tier. An opt-out becomes effective with respect to Customer Data ingested after the opt-out is processed (which typically completes within thirty (30) days). An opt-out does not require Grizzly Systems to delete or retrain any AI Models, Aggregated Data, or Derived Data that already incorporated Customer Data prior to the effective date of the opt-out, and the licenses granted in Section 8.2 with respect to such pre-opt-out Customer Data survive. Opting out of AI training does not affect Grizzly Systems’ license to use your Customer Data to operate the Services under Section 7.2 (such as generating alerts, providing back-ups, and complying with legal process).
8.8 Telemetry.
Grizzly Systems collects technical telemetry from the Software and GrizCam Hardware (such as crash logs, performance metrics, sensor health, firmware version, and feature-usage signals) to operate, secure, and improve the Software and Hardware. Telemetry is not Customer Data and may be used by Grizzly Systems without limitation, provided it does not identify you or contain Personal Data.
§ 09 · Privacy and data protection
9.1 Privacy policy.
Grizzly Systems’ processing of Personal Data is further described in its Privacy Policy, available at grizcam.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the Privacy Policy with respect to Personal Data, the Privacy Policy controls.
9.2 Your responsibilities.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have any required legal basis, notice, and consent to collect and submit Customer Data through the Software, including Personal Data of any third parties whose images, voices, or identifiable information may be captured by GrizCam Hardware. You must comply with all applicable Privacy Laws, wildlife-protection laws, surveillance and recording laws, and trespass laws applicable to your deployment of the GrizCam Hardware.
9.3 GDPR; Data Processing Addendum.
If you are established in, or your use of the Software is otherwise subject to, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the parties shall execute Grizzly Systems’ Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”), available at grizcam.com/dpa, which is incorporated by reference and shall apply with respect to the processing of any Personal Data by Grizzly Systems on your behalf. For such processing, Grizzly Systems acts as a processor (or sub-processor) and you act as a controller (or processor). Grizzly Systems relies on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, as applicable) for international transfers of Personal Data.
9.4 CCPA and U.S. state privacy laws.
If you are subject to the CCPA or an analogous U.S. state privacy law and Grizzly Systems processes Personal Data on your behalf in the course of providing the Software, Grizzly Systems is a “service provider” or “processor” (as applicable) and not a “third party.” Grizzly Systems shall not (a) sell or share (as those terms are defined under the CCPA) Personal Data; (b) retain, use, or disclose Personal Data outside of the direct business relationship with you or for any purpose other than the business purposes specified in this Agreement, including the AI-training purposes set forth in Section 8 which are necessary and proportionate to provide and improve the Services; or (c) combine Personal Data with information obtained from other sources, except as permitted by the CCPA for service providers. Grizzly Systems certifies its understanding of these restrictions.
9.5 Data subject requests.
Grizzly Systems will reasonably cooperate with you to respond to verified requests from data subjects (or consumers) seeking to exercise rights under applicable Privacy Laws, including rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and opt-out of certain processing.
9.6 Security.
Grizzly Systems maintains an information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data and consistent with industry standards. No system is perfectly secure, and Grizzly Systems does not warrant that the Software will be free from intrusion or compromise.
§ 10 · Confidentiality
Each party (a “Receiving Party”) agrees that it will use Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party (a “Disclosing Party”) solely as necessary to perform under this Agreement, and will protect such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, and in no event less than reasonable care. “Confidential Information” means any non-public information disclosed by one party to the other, whether orally, in writing, or by access to systems, that is identified as confidential or that should reasonably be understood to be confidential given its nature and the circumstances of disclosure. The Software, AI Models, Derived Data, Aggregated Data, pricing, roadmaps, and non-public technical or business information of Grizzly Systems are deemed Grizzly Systems’ Confidential Information. Customer Data is deemed your Confidential Information. Confidential Information excludes information that (i) is or becomes publicly known through no breach of this Agreement; (ii) was known by the Receiving Party prior to disclosure without confidentiality obligation; (iii) is independently developed without use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (iv) is rightfully obtained from a third party without confidentiality obligation. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent compelled by law, provided it gives the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice (where lawful) and reasonable cooperation in seeking a protective order.
§ 11 · Third-party services and open-source components
The Software may interoperate with third-party products, services, datasets, model providers, or content (“Third-Party Services”). Your use of any Third-Party Service is governed by the terms of that Third-Party Service, and Grizzly Systems is not responsible for any Third-Party Service. The Software also includes open-source software components, which are licensed under their respective open-source licenses; a list of such components and notices is available upon request to legal@grizzlysystems.io.
§ 12 · Service availability
Grizzly Systems will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available, subject to scheduled maintenance, emergency maintenance, force majeure events, and circumstances beyond its reasonable control. Specific service-level commitments, if any, are set forth in the applicable Order. No service-level commitment applies to Beta Features, free tiers, or third-party connectivity.
§ 13 · Warranty disclaimers
The Software, the Services, the Documentation, and all AI Models, Derived Data, Aggregated Data, alerts, detections, classifications, and outputs are provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grizzly Systems and its Affiliates, licensors, and suppliers disclaim all warranties, express, implied, and statutory, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade.
Grizzly Systems does not warrant that the Software or any AI Model will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any detection, classification, alert, or other output will be accurate, complete, timely, or free of false positives or false negatives. The Software is not designed for, and must not be used as, a sole safety-of-life, emergency-response, medical, or life-critical system. Any decisions you make based on outputs of the Software are your own.
§ 14 · Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Grizzly Systems or its Affiliates, licensors, suppliers, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or your use of or inability to use the Software, even if Grizzly Systems has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Grizzly Systems’ total cumulative liability arising out of or related to this Agreement will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts paid or payable by you to Grizzly Systems for the Software giving rise to the liability during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). The foregoing limitations apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or certain implied warranties; in such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
§ 15 · Indemnification
15.1 By you.
You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Grizzly Systems and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any third-party claim, demand, suit, proceeding, loss, liability, damage, cost, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your Customer Data, including any claim that your collection, use, or submission of Customer Data violates applicable law or any third-party right; (b) your or any Authorized User’s breach of this Agreement; (c) your use of the Software in violation of any applicable law or third-party right; or (d) your installation, deployment, or operation of GrizCam Hardware in violation of applicable law (including wildlife, recording, or trespass laws).

§ 24 · Governing law and venue
This Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Montana, U.S.A., without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Subject to Section 25, any judicial action permitted under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Yellowstone County, Montana (Billings), and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of, and waives any objection to venue in, those courts.
§ 25 · Mandatory binding arbitration and class-action waiver
25.1 Agreement to arbitrate.
You and Grizzly Systems agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Software, the GrizCam Hardware, the AI Models, or our relationship (each, a “Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth in Section 25.6. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.
25.2 Informal resolution.
Before initiating arbitration, the parties shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days by sending a written description of the Dispute, including the relief sought, to legal@grizzlysystems.io (for Disputes against Grizzly Systems) or to the email address associated with your account (for Disputes against you).
25.3 Rules and forum.
Arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for individual Disputes seeking $250,000 or less) or the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (for all other Disputes), as in effect at the time of filing. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration shall be Billings, Montana, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrator may conduct hearings by video conference at either party’s request.
25.4 Costs.
Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except as may be awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. Filing and administrative fees shall be allocated in accordance with the JAMS rules.
25.5 Class action waiver.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Grizzly Systems agree to bring any Dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple parties or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 25 shall be null and void, but the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
25.6 Exceptions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (a) bring an action in small-claims court for Disputes within that court’s jurisdiction; (b) seek temporary, preliminary, or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights, breach of confidentiality, or violation of Section 3; and (c) pursue any claim or remedy that, under applicable law, may not be subject to mandatory arbitration.
25.7 30-day opt-out right.
You may opt out of this Section 25 by sending a written notice to legal@grizzlysystems.io within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement, including your name, account email, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provisions of this Agreement.
