Cloud Services Subscription Transaction Document between Datavault AI Inc. and IBM

Summary

Datavault AI Inc. and IBM have entered into a three-year agreement for Datavault to use and resell IBM's cloud services, including Watsonx, as part of Datavault's proprietary data platform. Datavault commits to minimum annual purchases of IBM cloud services, with specific payment terms and pricing discounts based on total contract value. The agreement restricts distribution to certain countries and requires Datavault to add significant value to the IBM services. If purchase commitments are not met, Datavault must pay the shortfall. The agreement may be extended by mutual consent.

2.Purchase Commitment

 

Prices are based upon a committed contract value specified in the following Purchase Commitment Table. The specified amounts are the minimum cloud services value that BP commits to purchase during each year of this TD. For clarity, only paid orders for new licenses shall count towards the purchase commitment. At the end of each one-year period, IBM will compare BP's actual attainment to the purchase commitment for that period. If BP's attainment exceeds the purchase commitment in a given one-year period, the excess will be applied toward the commitment in the following year of this TD. If BP has not attained the commitment, BP agrees to submit to IBM a purchase order for cloud services in the amount of the remaining balance within 7 days of the end of the applicable one-year period. If BP fails to submit such purchase order, IBM may invoice BP the remaining balance and BP shall pay IBM for such amount.

 

Applicable Year of TD Term Purchase Commitment Prices

Second year $2,111,850.00

6.Support Responsibilities

 

Technical support for Cloud Services is described in the Service Description(s) listed in Section 2 (“Technical Support”). IBM provides Technical Support to BP and not to End Users. BP will develop a service plan to enable convenient, efficient, and timely support of Cloud Services it markets as an Embedded Solution. The service plan will include, but not be limited to, (i) maintaining a support process adequate to support the latest release of and provide service for all Cloud Services for which BP provides services, (ii) an escalation process, (iii) identification and maintenance of qualified technical support personnel and mutually-agreed resource commitments, management contacts, and support location(s), and (iv) logging and reporting procedures for BP's service activities.

 

BP will provide Level 1 Support which means BP will be the initial contact for all service requests from End Users regarding the Embedded Solution. BP will only refer requests to IBM through BP's designated technical support personnel and processes after BP 1) validates that the Cloud Service is eligible for support and 2) performs its respective responsibilities.

 

7.Miscellaneous Terms and Conditions

 

A.IBM reserves the right to change the part numbers and/or pricing metrics for the Cloud Service subscription(s) listed in Section 1, upon written notice to BP. Changes to either part numbers or pricing metrics will not cause a change in the effective prices for the Cloud Service subscription.

 

B.BP agrees not to use, and to restrict its End Users from using, its Embedded Solution: (i) for mass surveillance, racial profiling, or any use that violates or encourages the violation of basic human rights or other applicable laws and regulations; (ii) to distribute false, misleading, disparaging or obscene information or content; (iii) to provide fully automated decision making in connection with use cases involving critical processes or the risk of loss of life, property or impact on an individual’s legal rights; (iv) in a manner that impersonates another for deceptive purposes or conceals the fact a user is interacting with AI; or (v) to distribute or intentionally generate malware or other harmful code.
