Endpoint and Duration
The period of these Terms of Service begins when your Service Plan becomes active and ends when the Service Parties discontinue your Service Plan (the “Term”). In the case of cancellation, you are responsible for payment of all agreed-upon fees and charges until the conclusion of the billing cycle. You are in material breach of these Terms of Service if: (a) you fail to pay any agreed-upon amount owed to us or an affiliate of ours, or any agreed-upon amount appearing on your invoice 30 days after written notice of an outstanding amount; (b) you breach any material provision of these Terms of Service; (c) you violate any material policy applicable to the Service; (d) you are subject to any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws; or (e)In addition to any other available remedies, we may suspend your membership, withhold refunds, and terminate your service if you fail to cure the violations within thirty days.

Data Privacy
In order to provide the service, we must retain necessary information, including your biometric templates and transaction logs. You give us permission to do these things in order to provide the service to the best of our ability. You are responsible for alerting your users and gaining their consent prior to collecting their biometric information if required by local law.
We collect the biometric data you provide during registration and verification in the form of images, audio, and video files (referred to as “Raw Data”) in order to extract your unique biometric traits. This raw data is preserved for auditing, support, and failure analysis unless you want to have it deleted automatically after use. The biometric information given during enrollment is turned into biometric “templates,” which are irreversible, anonymous mathematical representations of a person’s biometric characteristics. Simply storing biometric templates allows us to perform the needed service. This data is not accessible through our API, management interface, or any other means. You are accountable for the correctness, quality, and integrity of the raw data in line with -recommended standards as well as the proper use of the service. Directly, you are responsible for preserving the raw data for support or auditing purposes, if needed and if permitted by local law; in this case, you are responsible for telling your users about this implementation. To ensure the quality of the service, it is also your obligation to update the biometric templates on a regular basis, to the extent that this is practicable and/or practical.
Your Facia.ai account is managed by the Facia.ai team. Only Facia.ai Team has the ability to link your personal information to your biometric data; as a result, your template is completely anonymous. You can see and manage these on your profile page. If you delete all the information in this area, your template will be deleted and you will be unable to log in using your face or voice until you re-enroll.
COMPLIANCE
ACCESS, SCALABILITY, AND PERFORMANCE
The service’s storage systems replicate all data three times for reasons of availability and performance. There are two copies of all the data in case one of the storage systems fails. For best performance, all data access is automatically allocated to the storage system. In addition, data storage may be distributed throughout several countries or even continents. Data stored in one data centre is automatically replicated in another data centre in the same geographic region.If something bad happens to one data center, the other data centre will provide the data right away.
Physical Protection
In addition to system and network security, physical security also exists. The data centres of the cloud service provider hosting are designed to operate independently in many geographic zones 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each data centre has redundant power sources to prevent power outages; redundant network connections to ensure availability; and strong physical access control and intrusion prevention. These amenities are restricted to a select group of operating staff.
Environmental Regulations and Persistence
The data storage is separated from the front-end and back-end nodes by a centralised storage. This allows all nodes to access the same data storage simultaneously. A faulty node will be swiftly replaced. This happens automatically in the event of a hardware breakdown in a data centre. All data centres conform to the Business Continuity Institute’s Good Practice Guidelines and the Disaster Recovery Institute’s International Professional Practice Statements.
Retention and Deletion of Data
The removal of data associated with a Biometric ID occurs shortly after the corresponding API request is initiated. This action is irreversible and prevents access to the Biometric that was deleted. All references to the data are removed on the storage systems, followed by a garbage collection process that destroys the copies.
The accounting data preserved as part of the service, such as accounting data, license data, audit data, logging data, performance data, and certificates, are kept for the length of the service term or as needed by local legislation.
Support
Facia.ai will provide email support for our service. Individual packages of further support may be made available upon request.
Facia.ai will provide you support and the technical team with technical assistance for integrating the service or addressing service-related difficulties. You will have direct contact with and first-line support for your end-users. At the time you report an event to Facia.ai, we expect you to have exhausted all reasonable troubleshooting measures.
General
These terms of service provide no rights to other parties. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms of Service, but Facia.ai may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any service-related company that acquires a successor in interest. Instead of being legal partners or agents, Facia.ai and you are independent contractors.

Unless otherwise stated in your Service Plan, these Terms of Service shall be governed and construed in accordance with the following laws, without regard to their conflict of law provisions: (a) the laws of the State of New York if you are in North America or Latin America; or (b) the laws of Switzerland if you are in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa; or (c) the laws of Singapore if you are in Asia Pacific, including Japan.
Facia.ai’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms of Service does not constitute a waiver of any present or future rights. If any section of these Terms of Service is declared to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the other portions will remain in full force and effect and will be replaced with an enforceable provision that expresses our intent as closely as possible.
