AI Beta Participation Agreement

This AI Beta Participant Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Lennox International Inc. and its affiliated entities, including but not limited to Lennox Industries Inc. (collectively, “Lennox”) and the party agreeing to participate in the AI Beta project (“User”). If you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to this Agreement. In that case, “User” refers to that company or other legal entity.

By using or taking part in the AI Beta project, User acknowledges and represents that User agrees to be bound by and accepts the following Agreement:

  1. Existing Agreements. This Agreement is subject to and governed by any existing agreements between Lennox and User, including those governing the Lennox Pros or the Lennox.com platforms (“Existing Agreements”). To the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any Existing Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will govern and control the AI Beta Project.
  2. Beta Features.
    • 2.1 Definition. Subject to User’s compliance with this Agreement and the Existing Agreements, Lennox will make available to User various AI-powered features within the Lennox platforms (the “Beta Features”) on a free trial basis.

User is not obligated to use the Beta Features and may stop using them at any time. Lennox may cap User’s usage of any Beta Features in Lennox’s sole discretion. Lennox may immediately and without notice change or update the Beta Features without liability to User, and/or require a new set of terms applicable to the Beta Features. Any replacements, additions, or modifications to the Beta Features provided to User are included within the term “Beta Features” and are subject to this Agreement.
  3. Restrictions. User may not use the Beta Features or any output data (“Output”) to: (1) develop models that compete with Lennox or (2) mislead any person that Output from the Beta Features was solely human generated.
  4. DISCLAIMER.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL BETA FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND AND WITHOUT ANY PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS. LENNOX DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY AS TO THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM USER’S USE OF THE BETA FEATURES, NOR TO THE ACCURACY OR APPLICABILITY OF ANY OUTPUT. OUTPUTS GENERATED BY MACHINE LEARNING MODELS ARE PROBABILISTIC AND MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL INACCURACIES DESPITE APPEARING ACCURATE DUE TO THEIR DETAIL OR SPECIFICITY.

Lennox may use any data Lennox collects from the AI Beta project, including without limitation data collected from User’s use of the Beta Features, to improve Lennox’s products and services. If User provides any feedback, comments, or suggestions regarding the Beta Features (“Feedback”), User transfers and assigns all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights, such as copyrights or trade secrets) in and to the Feedback, and User waives and agrees not to assert all rights User may have in the Feedback. Additionally, Lennox will have the right to collect and analyze data and other information relating to the provision, use, and performance of various aspects of the Beta Features, and related systems and technologies, and Lennox will be free (during and after the term) to use such data and information to maintain, improve, and enhance any products or services.
