LAST UPDATED AUGUST 8, 2023

This Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) is between the customer identified in the applicable ordering document (“Customer,” “you” or “your”) and Rev.com, Inc. (“Rev,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and governs Customer’s access to and use of the transcription, captioning, translation, automated speech recognition (“ASR”) and related hosting and other services (collectively, the “Services”) made available through Rev’s and our affiliated third-party websites and desktop or mobile applications (collectively, the “Platform”). This MSA, any ordering documents between the parties (each, an Order Form”), and any other incorporated terms or policies (collectively, the “Agreement”) comprise the entire understanding between you and Rev regarding your access to and use of the Services and govern any previously executed and active Order Forms and any future Order Forms executed by you.

  • REV’S RESPONSIBILITIES
    1. Provision of the Services. During the applicable Order Form Term (as defined in Section 5.1 (Term and Order Form Term) below), we grant you a revocable, nonexclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, limited license to (a) access and use the Services described in the Order Form, solely in accordance with any usage or license limitations set forth in the Order Form; and (b) access and use any APIs provided by Rev (the “Rev API(s)”) to facilitate your use of the Services. The definition “Services” as used in this MSA is comprehensive of the Platform, software that may be downloadable through the Platform or otherwise provided by Rev (including the APIs), technical support, hosting services, and any documentation provided in connection with the Services. You agree that you will not provide access to the Services to any third-party except your (and your authorized Affiliates’) employees and contractors for their internal use in connection with this Agreement (“Authorized Users”) and agree that you are liable for your Authorized Users’ compliance with this Agreement.
    2. Use of Freelancers. Rev subcontracts with third-party individuals (“Freelancers”) to provide certain of its transcription, captioning, translation and other speech-to-text services. You agree that Rev may sublicense its rights under this this Agreement to Freelancers, provided that Rev will (a) be solely responsible for paying and resolving all disputes with Freelancers; (b) enter into a written agreement with each Freelancer obligating the Freelancer to protect the Customer Content and to comply with Rev’s policies and Applicable Law (as defined in Section 2.2 (Prohibited Content) below); and (c) deem a Freelancer’s breach of our obligations to you in this Agreement to be a breach by Rev.
    3. Affiliates. Subject to credit approval by Rev and your agreement to take full responsibility for Affiliates’ compliance with this Agreement, you may allow your Affiliate to order Services under the terms of this Agreement. Authorized Affiliates will be deemed a “Customer” for the applicable Order Form only. “Affiliate” means an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a party, with “control” meaning direct or indirect ownership of (a) more than fifty percent (50%) of an entity’s voting interest; or (b) the right to receive more than fifty percent (50%) of an entity’s profits.
    4. Support. During an Order Form Term, we will provide you with the maintenance and support services specified in Exhibit A for the Services described in the Order Form.
    5. Data Security. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain security in accordance with Exhibit B . You agree to assist Rev in such efforts by making commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to or use of the Services, and agree to notify us promptly of any such unauthorized access or use.
  • CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
    1. Customer Content. You acknowledge and agree that (a) you, not Rev, are entirely responsible for the accuracy, quality, integrity, legality, reliability, appropriateness, and ownership or right to use video, audio and other materials, information and data (“Content”) uploaded, posted, transmitted or otherwise made available through the Services by you or on your behalf (“Customer Content”); (b) Rev need not pre-screen Customer Content, although Rev reserves the right in our reasonable discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Customer Content; and (c) while we take commercially reasonable measures to back-up Customer Content on our Platform, you are responsible for ensuring that you back up your Customer Content. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you grant Rev a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license during the Term to sublicense, copy, reproduce, modify, use, perform, display, distribute and create derivative works of any and all Customer Content as necessary for Rev to: (i) provide the Services to you; (ii) perform necessary maintenance, calibration, diagnostic and troubleshooting of the Platform, and to monitor the performance of the Platform; and (iii) to improve the Services, e.g., to train and maintain Rev’s ASR speech-to-text model and other Rev artificial intelligence models. You also acknowledge and agree that we may collect, retain, use and disclose information relating to the performance of the Services and statistics and metrics regarding the Services (e.g., number of files transcribed using the Services across all Rev customers), provided that such information is solely in an aggregated and anonymized format that does not identify Customer or any individual (“Aggregate Data”). For clarity, Aggregate Data will not be considered Customer Content or personal data.
    2. Prohibited Content. Unless expressly agreed in an Order Form with respect to a certain type of Content, you must not nor permit others to submit, upload, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Platform (a) any Content not owned by you or for which you do not have all necessary authorization to make available through the Platform, including in accordance with all applicable intellectual property laws and data laws, regulations and privacy standards; (b) sensitive financial data (e.g., bank account numbers, credit card or debit card numbers, passwords, and other access codes for financial accounts); (c) personal health information subject to protection under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”); (d) Content that violates applicable provisions of foreign, federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders of all governmental bodies, courts, tribunals and arbitrators (“Applicable Law”) or creates a security risk to any person (e.g., by exposing sensitive personal information); (e) illegal content (including but not limited to obscenity, sexual content involving minors); or (f) Content that a reasonable person would find abusive, harassing, threatening, defamatory, libelous, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.

If Rev suspends Services pursuant to subsection (a) above, (i) you remain responsible for all fees you have committed to for the Order Form Term; and (ii) if you do not fully address the reasons for the suspension within thirty (30) days after we suspend, we may immediately terminate your license.

    3. Termination for Cause.

THE PLATFORM AND ALL SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6.2 (REV WARRANTY), REV HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, CURRENCY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES OR ANY DATA OR RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH THE PLATFORM, OR THAT USE OF THE PLATFORM AND SUCH SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, FREE FROM OTHER FAILURES OR WILL MEET CUSTOMER’S OR AUTHORIZED USERS’ REQUIREMENTS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF ALL WORK PRODUCT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES BEFORE TAKING OR OMITTING ANY ACTION BASED UPON SUCH WORK PRODUCT.
  • INDEMNIFICATION
    1. Rev Indemnification. Rev will defend, indemnify and hold harmless you, your Affiliates and each of your directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, or affiliated entities (the “Customer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against claims, demands, proceedings, regulatory actions, liabilities, losses, causes of action, damages, fines, judgments, and settlements brought by a third party (a “Claim”), including reimbursement of all reasonable legal fees and expenses, made or brought against a Customer Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from, or alleged to have resulted from, the Services’ or the Work Product’s infringement of a third-party Intellectual Property Right, unless caused by the combination, operation or use of the Services or Work Product with other applications, portions of applications, data, product(s) or services not provided by Rev where the Services or Work Product would not by itself be infringing. If the Work Product or use of the Services by Customer has become, or in Rev’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, Rev may at its option and expense (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using and receiving the Services or applicable Work Product as set forth hereunder; (b) replace or modify the Services or applicable Work Product to make it non-infringing (with comparable functionality); or (c) if the options in clauses (a) or (b) are not reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement in exchange for a refund of, as applicable, any unused prepaid credits or other prepaid fee for the applicable Order Form Term prorated from the date of termination.
    2. Customer Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rev, our Affiliates, Freelancers, and each of our directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents, or affiliated entities (the “Rev Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Claim, including reimbursement of all reasonable legal fees and expenses, made or brought against a Rev Indemnified Party to the extent resulting from or alleged to have resulted from (a) your breach of Sections 2.2 (Prohibited Content) or 2.3 (Restrictions); (b) use of the Services by you (including your Authorized Users) not in accordance with this Agreement; or (c) the combination, operation or use of the Services or Work Product with other applications, portions of applications, data, product(s) or services provided by you where the Services or Work Product would not by itself be infringing.
    3. Indemnification Procedures. Each party will promptly notify the other in writing of any Claim; provided, however, that failure of the indemnified party to give such prompt written notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of any obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 7, except to the extent the indemnifying party has been prejudiced thereby. The indemnifying party will (a) control the defense of the Claim; and (b) obtain the other party’s prior written approval of the indemnifying party’s settlement or compromise of a Claim. The indemnified party will (i) not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the request for settlement or compromise; and (ii) assist and cooperate in the defense as reasonably requested by the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense.
  • LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANYONE, WHETHER BY BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY OR CAUSE OF ACTION, (A) FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF SUCH OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, INCOME OR PROFITS, DIMINUTION OF VALUE, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH HEREOF, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES HAS BEEN DISCLOSED TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ADVANCE OR COULD REASONABLY HAVE BEEN FORESEEN BY SUCH OTHER PARTY; OR (B) FOR AN AMOUNT THAT EXCEEDS THE GREATER OF: (1) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO SIX (6) TIMES THE FEES PAYABLE BY YOU FOR THE USE OF THE SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM, IN THE FIRST MONTH IN WHICH FEES ARE CHARGED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR (2) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO REV FOR THE SERVICES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT(S) THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM.

    2. Non-Disclosure.

    3. Data Protection. If Rev processes Personal Data (as defined in Section 1 of the Rev Data Processing Addendum located at http://www.rev.com/legal/data-processing-addendum (“Data Processing Addendum” or “DPA”)) on behalf of Customer pursuant to this Agreement, Rev and Customer will comply with the terms of the DPA, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations or agreements with respect to such subject matter, including the Terms of Service on the Rev.com website that Customer may be required to click through to access the Platform, and any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of Customer’s first Order Form. If a conflict exists between any of the terms in the Agreement, then the Order Form will govern, followed by the DPA and this MSA. It is expressly agreed that the terms of this Agreement and any Order Form supersede the terms in any Customer purchase order, procurement internet portal or other similar document, and no terms included in any such purchase order, portal or other document will apply to the Services ordered.

    5. Independent Contractors. The relationship between Rev and Customer established by this Agreement is solely that of independent contractors. Neither party is in any way the partner or agent of the other, nor is either party authorized or empowered to create or assume any obligation of any kind, implied or expressed, on behalf of the other party, without the express prior written consent of such other party.

Rev’s routine communications regarding the Services and legal notices will be posted on Rev’s customer portal or sent by email or post to the individual(s) Customer designates as contact(s) on Customer’s account. Notices are deemed received as of the time posted or delivered, or if that time does not fall within a business day, as of the beginning of the first business day following the time posted or delivered. To count days for notice periods, the business day on which the notice is deemed received counts as the first day.
    7. No Waiver. The failure of either party to require strict performance by the other party of any provision of this document will not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor will the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this document be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.
    8. Interpretation. In the Agreement, the words “include” and “including” will not be construed as terms of limitation.
    9. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision will be modified to render it enforceable to the extent possible to give effect to the parties’ intentions and the remaining provisions will not be affected.

    11. Counterparts and Electronic Signatures. Any Order Form, and any amendment to this Agreement or other ancillary agreement among the parties may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, will be considered to be one and the same agreement or document.

Rev will, consistent with current best industry standards and such other requirements specified by Customer based on the classification and sensitivity of Customer Information (as defined below), maintain physical, administrative and technical safeguards and other security measures to:
    1. maintain the security and confidentiality of Customer Content and Customer’s Confidential Information (hereinafter collectively defined as ”Customer Information”) accessed, collected, used, stored or transmitted by Rev, and
    2. protect that information from known or reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to its security and integrity, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure and all other unlawful forms of processing.
  2. Security Controls. Rev will comply with these requirements:
    1. Firewall. Rev will install and maintain a working network firewall to protect data accessible through the Internet and will keep all Customer Information protected by the firewall at all times.
    2. Updates. Rev will keep its systems and software up-to-date with the latest upgrades, updates, bug fixes, new versions and other modifications necessary to ensure security of the Customer Information.
    3. Anti-malware. Rev will at all times use anti-malware software on systems commonly affected by malware and will keep the anti-malware software up-to-date. Rev will mitigate threats from all viruses, spyware and other malicious code that are or should have reasonably been detected.
    4. Encryption. Rev will encrypt data at rest and data sent across open networks in accordance with industry best practices.
    5. Testing. Rev will regularly test its security systems and processes to ensure they meet the requirements of this Security Policy.
    6. Access Controls. Rev will secure Customer Information, including by complying with these requirements:
      1. Rev will restrict access to Customer Information to only those people with a “need-to-know” to provide the Services or as otherwise agreed by Customer or specified in the Agreement.
      2. Rev will not use manufacturer-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security parameters on any operating systems, software or other systems. Rev will mandate and ensure the use of system-enforced “strong passwords” in accordance with the best practices (described below) on all systems hosting, processing, or that have or control access to Customer Information and will require that all passwords and access credentials are kept confidential and not shared among personnel.
      3. Rev will regularly review access logs for signs of malicious behavior or unauthorized access.
    7. Network Security Policy. Rev will maintain and enforce an information and network security policy for employees, subcontractors, suppliers and agents that meets the standards in this Exhibit B, including methods to detect and log policy violations (“Security Policy”).
    8. Subcontracts. The terms and conditions of the Security Policy will be binding upon Rev’s subcontractors, including Freelancers, and personnel. Rev (a) will ensure that its subcontractors and personnel comply with the Security Policy, and (b) will be responsible for all acts, omissions, negligence and misconduct of its subcontractors and personnel.
    9. Remote Access. Rev will ensure that any access from outside protected corporate or production environments to systems holding Customer Information or Rev’s corporate or development workstation networks requires multi-factor authentication (e.g., requires at least two separate factors for identifying users).
    10. Deletion. Rev will promptly (no more than thirty (30) days after Customer’s written request) permanently and securely delete all Customer Information upon Customer’s request. If requested by Customer, Rev will certify in writing that all Customer Information has been destroyed.
  3. Security Incidents
    1. Rev will inform Customer within seventy-two (72) hours of detecting any confirmed unauthorized access, collection, acquisition, use, transmission, disclosure, corruption or loss of Customer Information, or breach of any environment containing Customer Information (“Security Incident”).
    2. Rev will remedy each Security Incident promptly and provide Customer written details about Rev’s internal investigation into each Security Incident. With respect to a Security Incident that affects no more than ten (10) Rev customers including Customer, (i) Rev agrees not to notify any regulatory authority, nor any third party, on behalf of Customer unless Customer specifically requests in writing that Rev do so, and Customer reserves the right to review and approve the form and content of any notification before it is provided to any party; and (ii) Rev will cooperate and work together with Customer to formulate and execute a plan to remediate all confirmed Security Incidents.
