Only your physician or other healthcare providers can do that. While there is third party evidence from research that certain conversation techniques implemented in ICONIQ can assist in the recovery process for a wide array of conditions, ICONIQ makes no claims, representations or guarantees that the Services provide a therapeutic benefit.

ICONIQ respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify ICONIQ of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

We will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to ICONIQ’s Copyright Agent at legal@iconiq.ai (Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Request”).

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

  • an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;

  • a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;

  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Services, with enough detail that we may find it on the Services;

  • your address, telephone number, and email address;

  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;

  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

8.5. Counter-notice

If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  • your physical or electronic signature;

  • identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

  • a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and

  • your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the Northern District of California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, ICONIQ will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party via email informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, ICONIQ has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at ICONIQ’s sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. ICONIQ may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Services and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

11. WARRANTY, INDEMNITY AND LIABILITY

11.1. Indemnity and release

You agree to release, indemnify and hold ICONIQ and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents (collectively, “Indemnitees”) harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any User Content, your connection to the Services, your violation of these Terms of Service or your violation of any rights of another. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnitee from or against any liability, losses, damages or expenses incurred as a result of any action or inaction of such Indemnitee. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

11.2. Disclaimer of warranties

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

ICONIQ MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT (I) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (II) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (III) THE RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR (IV) THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, INFORMATION, OR OTHER MATERIAL PURCHASED OR OBTAINED BY YOU THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

11.3. Limitation of liability

YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ICONIQ WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, RESULTING FROM: (I) THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE; (II) THE COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS AND SERVICES RESULTING FROM ANY GOODS, DATA, INFORMATION OR SERVICES PURCHASED OR OBTAINED OR MESSAGES RECEIVED OR TRANSACTIONS ENTERED INTO THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; (IV) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; OR (V) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SERVICE. IN NO EVENT WILL ICONIQ’S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID COMPANY IN THE LAST SIX (6) MONTHS, OR, IF GREATER, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU OR BE ENFORCEABLE WITH RESPECT TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICES OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICES.

IF YOU ARE A USER FROM NEW JERSEY, THE FOREGOING SECTIONS TITLED “DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES” AND “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY” ARE INTENDED TO BE ONLY AS BROAD AS IS PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. IF ANY PORTION OF THESE SECTIONS IS HELD TO BE INVALID UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, THE INVALIDITY OF SUCH PORTION SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE APPLICABLE SECTIONS.

12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

12.1. Agreement to arbitrate

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and ICONIQ, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and ICONIQ are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

12.2. Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief

YOU AND ICONIQ AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ICONIQ AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

12.3. Pre-arbitration dispute resolution

ICONIQ is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@iconiq.ai . If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to ICONIQ should be sent to legal@iconiq.ai  (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If ICONIQ and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or ICONIQ may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by ICONIQ or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or ICONIQ is entitled.

12.4. Arbitration procedures

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless ICONIQ and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Northern California. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, ICONIQ agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

12.5. Costs of arbitration

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules.

12.6. Confidentiality

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

12.7. Severability

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection titled “Prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

12.8. Future changes to the arbitration agreement

Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, ICONIQ agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending ICONIQ written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

13. GENERAL CONDITIONS

13.1. Termination

You agree that ICONIQ, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if ICONIQ believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. ICONIQ may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that ICONIQ may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that ICONIQ will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

13.2. User disputes

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and ICONIQ will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto.

Security Policy

Last Updated: September 24, 2020


At ICONIQ the security of our platform, your data, and your customers’ data is critically important to us. We adhere to industry standard policies, outlined below. For any questions, concerns, or to report a vulnerability, please email us at support@iconiq.com.

Information Security Management Program

ICONIQ maintains a comprehensive Information Security Management Program. Internal policies include:

  • Incident Response Plan

  • Information Security Roles and Responsibilities

  • Clean Desk Policy

  • Computer and Email Usage Policy

  • Internet Usage Policy

  • Password Protection Policy

  • Social Media Usage Policy

All ICONIQ personnel undergo background checks, and privacy and security training with respect to these policies, including training on the OWASP Top 10  application security risks. The NIST CyberSecurity Framework (NIST CSF), developed by the U.S National Institute of Standards and Technology, is used to guide and manage our cybersecurity-related risks.

Infrastructure and Network Security

Servers

ICONIQ hosts all of our production services on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The AWS data centers are equipped with multiple levels of physical access barriers, that include:

  • Alarms

  • Outer Perimeter Fencing that is crash-rated for vehicles

  • Electronic Access Cards

  • Video Surveillance

  • Internal Trip-Lights

Please refer to Amazon’s AWS Security Whitepaper  for more details. ICONIQ staff do not have physical access to AWS services, nor do we run our own production servers, DNS servers, data centers, network equipment, storage, databases, autoscalers, or load balancers.

The TLS certificates for our production servers are 2048 bit RSA, signed with SHA256. We use firewalls, security groups, and IP address whitelisting to limit access to servers and databases. We implement Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation by conforming to AWS resilient reference architectures through the use of AWS Shield, Route53, auto scaling, and load balancers. We follow industry best practices by using strong cipher suites on our servers.

The physical location (region) of AWS servers depends on where Kuki and any associated chatbot network instances are deployed. Amazon does not disclose the precise address of their data centers for security purposes. Generally, data is processed and stored in the US, but we can run on AWS instances in the EU if deemed necessary.

We run currently active LTS Ubuntu on all our servers and use a combination of automated and manual inspection to determine if new vulnerabilities are introduced in the software packages on our systems. We use AWS Inspector on a weekly scanning routine to automatically alert to new security vulnerabilities. Our platform team ingests these alerts and prioritizes remediation according to our internal Security Vulnerability Identification documentation.

Logical Access Control

ICONIQ maintains full control over its AWS infrastructure, and only authorized personnel have access to configure infrastructure for incident response or adding new functionality as needed, according to principles of least privilege.

Penetration Testing

ICONIQ undergoes regular penetration testing by independent third parties provided with an overview of the application architecture and system endpoints. Results are reported to ICONIQ senior management, and used to set mitigation and remediation priorities. Select Enterprise Clients may be permitted contractually to access the results of routine penetration tests, or commission their own independent third party tests.

Third-Party Audits

Amazon Web Services undergoes third-party independent audits and can provide verification of compliance controls, including but not limited, to: ISO 270001 , SOC 2 , and PCI .

Intrusion Detection

ICONIQ employs industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems which alert us to any suspicious activity. All activity is closely monitored via AWS tools and Zabbix monitoring software. Any alerts are then investigated, escalated, and responded to accordingly.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Procedures

Uptime and Service Levels

ICONIQ uses properly-provisioned, redundant servers (i.e., multiple load balancers, web services, replica databases) to ensure appropriate failover and backup mechanisms are in place. Maintenance is conducted during the published routine window, and advance notice is provided for any planned non-routine maintenance. Enterprise Customers may contractually specify alternate routine maintenance windows optimized for their volumes and time zones, and can be provided uptime guarantees of +99.9% under a separate Service Level Agreement.

Backups

ICONIQ creates routine backups of our databases, and critical logs and files, enabling the easy and seamless restoration of the system in the event of data corruption or loss.

Disaster Recovery

ICONIQ maintains a comprehensive Disaster Recovery Plan policy to ensure that any disruption or damage to critical IT services or equipment are recoverable to the right level and within the right timeframe to return to normal operations with a minimal business impact. Our Disaster Recovery Plan can be made available to Enterprise Customers upon written request.

Data Flow

Data into System

ICONIQ provides a RESTful API that can only be accessed via HTTPS to prevent eavesdropping or man-in-the-middle attacks. API access requires an account specific user key. We also provide a public bot key to prevent exposure of user secrets when passed over the network (or viewed in a browser) and support domain whitelisting via the use of referrer filters.

Data through System

Data from end-user chat platforms is sent to the ICONIQ Platform via TLS 1.2. Data is AES-256 encrypted at rest.

Data out of System

ICONIQ maintains intelligent network firewall rules at the infrastructure level that limit the surface for data extraction. We vet preferred partners and integrations to ensure they comply with necessary security regulations (GDPR, PCI, etc.), before transferring data for processing.

Data Security and Privacy

Data Encryption

Data in ICONIQ servers is automatically encrypted at rest using AWS EBS Encryption via our master encryption key stored in AWS Key Management Service. Volumes are encrypted in AWS using the industry-standard AES-256 algorithm. ICONIQ only sends data over TLS 1.2 or greater, and never downgrades connections to insecure TLS methods (SSLv3 or TLS 1.0).

Data Removal

Data may be retained after termination of service unless otherwise specified in an Enterprise Contract or GDPR request. If data is kept after termination of service for purposes of making platform improvements, ICONIQ will scrub all personally identifiable information (PII) to the extent possible, including data like usernames, emails, phone numbers, etc.

Personally Identifying Information (PII)

The types of personally identifying information (PII) that ICONIQ receives is often dictated by third-parties beyond our control, including, for example: (a) what an end-user chooses to disclose to a bot during a conversation and (b) what a messaging or voice platform makes available about its end-users for purposes of providing or personalizing its services.

ICONIQ discourages and in some cases prohibits sending certain types of PII to our servers; however, ICONIQ can support the redaction or deletion of PII as needed.

Application Security

Website and Login

ICONIQ supports Single Sign On via OAuth 2  and email login with industry standard password requirements. Additional SSO methods can be supported as required. Passwords are stored in our databases using a secure one-way salted hash. Account sign in attempts are rate limited to counter brute force password attacks. We log successful and unsuccessful login attempts in order to identify anomalous activity. We enforce HTTPS for our website pages.

Secure Application Development

ICONIQ practices continuous delivery, which means all code changes are committed, tested, shipped, and iterated on in rapid sequence. A continuous delivery methodology, complemented by pull request reviews, continuous integration (CI), security scanning, and error tracking, decreases the likelihood of security issues and improves response times to security vulnerabilities. Internally, ICONIQ enforces at least one authorized reviewer for all code changes, and deployments to our production environment are gated under condition that all code is reviewed.

Compliance and Certification

PCI DSS

All payment and credit card information is processed by Braintree , a validated Level 1 PCI DSS compliant service provider. ICONIQ does not process or store any payment details.

GDPR

ICONIQ is GDPR compliant; please see Section 9 of our Privacy Policy  for more details. In the event of a data breach affected customers will be notified within 72 hours where feasible.
