These terms for ICA Services are supplemental terms to your underlying Service Agreement. If there is any conflict between these terms and the terms of your Service Agreement, the terms of your Service Agreement shall control.
An applicable Order sets forth the pricing, Customer’s Committed Conversations, ICA Platform Fee, ICA Commitment Period, and ICA Commitment Term for ICA Services. Please note that voice and digital are separate functionalities within the ICA Services and each requires a separate implementation.
8x8 shall provide standard support for ICA Services via web chat and telephone during 8x8’s normal business hours.
Unless stated otherwise in an applicable Order, the ICA Services shall expire or renew at the end of each ICA Commitment Term and are not coterminous with other Ordered SaaS Services. Subject to the foregoing, ICA Services shall expire or renew in accordance with the Agreement’s underlying renewal and expiration terms (e.g., a Party can decline to renew them before a renewal ICA Commitment Term by giving 30 days’ written notice). Orders with a monthly ICA Commitment Period shall be carried forward on a month-to-month basis with a right to terminate a monthly ICA Commitment Period by providing 8x8 with 30 days’ written notice.
Unused Conversations from one ICA Commitment Period (e.g., a month) are not carried over to the next ICA Commitment Period. Overage Conversations will be billed in arrears.
Unless otherwise stated in an Order, Standard pricing for ICA voice functionality shall include essential components consisting only of: ICA Services and ICA voice gateway; Speech to Text (STT); and Text to Speech (TTS) capabilities. Additional charges apply for any add-on functionality, voice and/or digital functionality, including but not limited to generative AI (e.g., Chat GPT/LLMs) or any language translation services, among other examples. Refer to an Order for applicable pricing pertaining to usage for each individual ICA functionality.
When used in these Terms, the following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:
- “Channel” – means a single endpoint for interacting with a virtual agent in the ICA Services. Each ICA functionality (e.g., voice or digital) may have one or more endpoints that are each considered a separate Channel for purposes of counting Conversations. For example, if you have 2 digital endpoints, that is considered 2 separate channels. If you add on a single voice endpoint to that example, it would be considered 3 separate Channels.
- “Committed Conversations” – the total number of Conversations which are included in the purchased license per ICA Commitment Period.
- “Conversation” – For each of ICA digital and voice functionality, means a Session with 1 ICA User on 1 Channel during a 24-hour period with a maximum of 50 ICA User Inputs per Conversation. Additionally for ICA voice functionality, parameters applicable for Conversation tracking are counted on a call-by-call basis (i.e., call initiation to termination). For a Conversation involving speech-enabled interactive voice response (e.g., speech-enabled directory services), a Conversation is counted as 5 or less total turns exchanged between a User and an ICA bot. A turn is counted as one User Input exchanged between a User and an ICA bot (e.g., a User sending a voice message to an ICA bot counts as one turn and a response provided to the User by the ICA bot counts as a second turn and so on).
- “ICA Commitment Period” – the period for which Conversations have been pre-purchased and invoiced and the period during which said Conversations can be used (i.e., a monthly or annual period).
- “ICA Commitment Term” – the total period for which Customer commits to ICA Services as set out in an applicable Order. For clarity, an ICA Commitment Term may include one or more ICA Commitment Periods (e.g., a 3-year ICA Commitment Term may have 3 annual ICA Commitment Periods).
- “ICA Platform Fee” – Monthly recurring charge for access to the ICA Services and maintenance and support services as set forth in an applicable Order.
- “ICA Services” – the ICA Conversational AI platform product (digital and/or voice) powered by Cognigy.
- “ICA User” – means a unique user or system, tracked by a user ID on the ICA Services.
- “ICA User Input” – a message (text and/or (voice) data) received by ICA Services from an ICA User.
- “Overage Conversations” – Conversations in excess of the Committed Conversations. (e.g., if 1,000 Committed Conversations are purchased for a given Commitment Period, but 5,000 Conversations are processed in the given Commitment Period, 4,000 Conversations would be Overage Conversations).
- “Session” – a virtual agent session of an ICA User via a single Channel, tracked by a session ID on the ICA Services.
