This includes relevant digital content and data such as designs, plans, materials, and characteristics intended for integration and display within PropAlchemy for demonstration to your customers and stakeholders. The specific name and geographic location of each Project will be detailed in the Order Form or in supplementary documentation mutually agreed upon by the Parties.
“Site” means the geographic location wherein your Project is or will be located.
“Data” means any and all information, including but not limited to metadata, images, media, text, numerical, graphical, and other materials, whether provided by you to use inside PropAlchemy (“Input Content“ as defined below) or generated as an output by using PropAlchemy (“Output Content” as defined below). This encompasses all Project-related data, including architectural visualizations, property details, and any other content related to the Project, whether inputted into PropAlchemy by you or created by PropAlchemy as a result of data processing, analysis, or visualization.
“Input Content” means any Data that is specific to a Project and that is used to visualize and share inside the Software, and that is a pre-requisite for the Software to work. The Input Content may require additional information from you and may involve additional Customization Services provided by us, which are not covered under this Licensing Agreement. The “Input Content” may be of two types: (a) “Hard-Coded Input Content”, and (b) “Uploaded Input Content”, as defined below.
“Hard-Coded Input Content” means any Project Data that cannot be updated by you during the use of the Service, without our involvement through Customization Services not covered under this Licensing Agreement, and therefore subject to a separate agreement. Hard-Coded Input Content includes, but is not limited to, 3D models and textures (“3D Representation” as defined below), or Metadata (“Metadata” as defined below)
“3D-Representation” means any specific 3d model, including geometries, textures, materials, and other representations of the physical characteristics of the Project. A 3D-Representation is considered “Hard-Coded Input Content”.
“Metadata” means any unique alphanumeric Data that is specific to the Project, and that links the 3D-Representation with other connected Project Data. The Metadata is considered “Hard-Coded Input Content”. A sample of Metadata would be a unique name for each unit available in a Project.
“Uploaded Input Content” means any Project Data that may be updated or changed by you without our involvement, as specified in the Order Form or as detailed in the Documentation. Uploaded Input Content may be of two types: (a) Graphic Data (“Media” as defined below) such as, but not limited to, images, and videos; and (b) Alphanumeric Data (“Property Information” as defined below) such as, but not limited to the Project contact information, and property alphanumeric details related to Project.
“Property Information” means detailed Alphanumeric information of the Project that is connected to the Metadata.

This is distinct from “Designated Units,” which are tangible computing devices located within your premises. Cloud Computing Services encompass a range of functionalities provided through virtual servers hosted off-site in external data centers, facilitating on-demand access to computing power, storage, and other digital resources. These services are typically availed through a specific web URL and provide scalable and flexible computing capabilities.
“Prepaid Credit Model” refers to a billing method within PropAlchemy whereby you buy credits in advance to access certain on-demand features. These credits act as a currency to use these features.

Efforts to Resolve Disputes Informally: Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any disputes informally.

If a dispute is not resolved within 60 days after submission, you or ABIBOO Corp may bring a formal dispute.
Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes: In the event that the dispute is not resolved informally, you agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration.

If any part of this arbitration agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that there will be no class arbitration.
Judicial Forum for Disputes: In the rare event that arbitration is not permitted by law, both parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA, or federal courts for the Southern District of Florida for legal proceedings. You irrevocably consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, such courts, and waive any objection to any proceedings brought in any such court.
Costs of Arbitration: Each party will bear its own costs in the arbitration, including attorney’s fees and expenses, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous. In such a case, the law permits the arbitrator to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to us.
