This AI Addendum ("AI Addendum") is entered into between Numerix and the Licensee and forms part of the Software License and Services Agreement between Numerix and the Licensee (the "Agreement" or "SLA"). This AI Addendum applies in addition to, and does not replace, the SLA or the applicable Product Schedule. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this AI Addendum have the meaning given in the SLA or the applicable Product Schedule. All references to ‘Product Schedule’ in this AI Addendum shall include “Service Schedule”, or other ordering document that expressly incorporates this AI Addendum.
This AI Addendum comprises three Parts:
- Part 1 (Core AI Terms) applies to all Licensees;
- Part 2 (MCP Services) applies where the applicable Product Schedule identifies that the Licensee has purchased access to one or more MCP Services; and
- Part 3 (Permission-Based AI License) applies where the applicable Product Schedule grants the Licensee a Permission-Based AI License. Part 3 (Permission-Based AI License) applies: (a) automatically, where the Licensee has purchased access to an MCP Service under Part 2, solely to the extent necessary to use AI Output generated through that MCP Service within Licensee-Controlled AI Infrastructure for the Licensee's internal business purposes, unless the applicable Product Schedule expressly provides otherwise; and (b) where the applicable Product Schedule otherwise grants the Licensee a Permission-Based AI License.
A Licensee has no right to access or use any AI-enabled offering including any Numerix AI Service, MCP Service or Permission-Based AI License, under Part 2 or Part 3 unless and until the applicable Product Schedule so provides.
PART 1 - CORE AI TERMS
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 In this AI Addendum, the following definitions apply:
"AI Output" means any content, data, analysis, recommendation, valuation, report, code or other output generated by or through an AI Tool or a Numerix AI Service, including where generated wholly or partly from: Numerix Modules, Documentation, data derived from use of the Numerix Modules, or other Numerix material
"AI Tool" means any artificial intelligence, machine learning, large language model or other automated or self-learning system, tool or agent, whether provided by the Licensee, a third party or Numerix, and whether operating locally, in the Licensee environment, via a cloud-hosted service or through a third-party platform. AI Tools comprise Numerix AI Services and Licensee AI Tools.
"Licensee AI Tool" means any AI Tool that is selected, procured, configured, hosted or otherwise controlled by the Licensee or a third party engaged by the Licensee, rather than by Numerix.
"Licensee-Controlled AI Infrastructure" means any MCP server, Licensee AI Tool, agent framework, or other AI-related infrastructure or integration that is selected, procured, configured, hosted, or otherwise controlled by the Licensee or a third party engaged by the Licensee, rather than by Numerix.
"Licensee Input" means any data, prompt, query, document, file or other content submitted by the Licensee or a User for processing by a Numerix AI Service. Licensee Input will be treated as the Licensee’s Confidential Information under Section 10 of the SLA.
"MCP Service" means an AI-enabled service made available by Numerix using a model context protocol server or equivalent controlled integration architecture, as identified in the applicable Product Schedule. An MCP Service is a Numerix AI Service, is selected, hosted and operated by Numerix, and is not Licensee-Controlled AI Infrastructure.
"Numerix AI Service" means any AI Tool, AI-enabled feature, or MCP Service that is provided, hosted and operated by Numerix (or by a Third Party Provider on Numerix's behalf) and made available to the Licensee under this AI Addendum and the applicable Product Schedule.
“Permission-Based AI License” means a permission-based AI license which is limited to the Documentation, AI Output and other Numerix Materials or Numerix Modules that the Licensee is expressly permitted to use under that permission-based AI license.
"Permitted AI Use" means use by a User of a Licensee AI Tool to process, analyze, summarize or act upon:
(a) Documentation, AI Output or other Numerix Materials or Numerix Modules expressly identified in the applicable Product Schedule and properly obtained through authorized access; and
(b) AI Output generated through an MCP Service purchased by the Licensee,
in each case solely for the Licensee's internal business purposes and only to the extent authorized pursuant to a Permission-Based AI License under Part 3 and the applicable Product Schedule, including where such Permission-Based AI License is granted automatically in connection with an MCP Service.
For the avoidance of doubt, Permitted AI Use does not permit:
(i) direct access by a Licensee AI Tool to the Numerix Modules or any Hosted Service except through an MCP Service expressly identified in the applicable Product Schedule;
(ii) any activity prohibited by Sections 3 or 6 of this AI Addendum; or
(iii) any use beyond the scope of the permissions expressly granted in the applicable Product Schedule.
"Third Party Provider" means a third party engaged by Numerix to provide technology, infrastructure or services underlying or supporting a Numerix AI Service. Where a Third Party Provider provides AI technology underlying a Numerix AI Service, the provisions of this AI Addendum applicable to that technology apply in addition to any mandatory third-party terms identified in the applicable Product Schedule. Numerix will identify its current Third Party Providers whose technology underlies a Numerix AI Service in the applicable Product Schedule, as updated from time to time in accordance with this AI Addendum.
