Burai Terms of ServiceEffective: April 15th, 2025
1. Introduction
Our services consist of the Burai service which enables precise document version access, ensuring confidentiality with tailored permissions for team members utilizing granular access control, safeguarding sensitive information effectively, while providing the user with a repository of documents (the "Service") and the related website located at www.burai.com (the "Site"), including all content provided through the Service and/or the Site. When we speak of "Burai", "we", "us" and "our" we mean BURAI INC. and its affiliates.
These Terms of Service (collectively, the "Terms") govern your use of the Services. These Terms help define the relationship between you and Burai. It is important that you read and understand the Terms because to use the Service you must accept these Terms. If you do not accept or understand the Terms, please do not use, download, access or register with the Service. Besides these Terms, we also publish a privacy policy at www.burai.com/privacy-policy. We encourage you to read it to better understand how you can update, manage and delete your personal information.
As used in these Terms, "you" and "user" means the individual or entity using the Service. To use our Service on behalf of an entity, you must be authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of that entity.
If you have any questions about these Terms or our Privacy Policy, please see our contact information in Section 17 (Contact).
2. Modifications to the Service and these Terms
2.1 As part of the continual evolution of our Service, we may make modifications such as adding or removing features and functionalities, increasing or decreasing usage limits, and offering new content or services or discontinuing old ones.

From time to time we make legally required updates, which are modifications that keep the Service in conformity with the law. We make these updates for safety or security reasons, and to make sure the Service meets the quality standards that you expect. We may automatically install updates that address significant safety or security risks. For other updates, you can choose whether you want them installed. If a modification negatively affects your ability to access or use our Service, or if we stop offering a service all together, we'll provide you with reasonable advance notice, including a description of the changes, when they'll take place, and your right to end your contract with us if our modifications create more than a minor negative impact.
2.2 From time to time, we may modify or amend these Terms (1) to reflect changes in our Service – for example, when we add new features, technologies, pricing or benefits (or remove old ones), (2) for legal, regulatory, or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm. If we do so, we will post any such modifications or changes in the Service. You can tell when changes have been made and will be effective by referring to the "Effective" date legend on top of this page. If we materially change the Terms, we'll provide you with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to review the changes, except (1) when we launch a new feature or (2) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements.

10. Legal guarantee, warranties and disclaimers
For EEA-based consumers only: If you're an EEA-based consumer and you've agreed to our Terms, then EEA consumer laws provide you with a legal guarantee covering the Service that we provide you. Under this guarantee, we're liable for any lack of conformity that you discover within two years of the one-time supply of digital content or at any time during the "continuous" supply of the Service.
Your national laws may provide an even longer guarantee. Your rights under these legal guarantees aren't limited by any other commercial guarantees that we provide. If you want to make a guarantee claim, please contact us.
For US-based users only:
IF YOU'RE A US-BASED USER, THEN TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE PROVIDE OUR SERVICES "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON'T MAKE ANY WARRANTIES ABOUT THE CONTENT OR FEATURES OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING THEIR ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, OR ABILITY TO MEET YOUR NEEDS.
For all other users:
We provide our Service using reasonable skill and care. If we don't meet the quality level described in this warranty, you agree to tell us and we'll work with you to try to resolve the issue.
The only commitments we make about our Service (including the content in the Service, the specific functions of our Service, or their reliability, availability, or ability to meet your needs) are provided in (1) this warranty section; and (2) laws that can't be limited by these Terms.
11. Liability
These Terms only limit our responsibilities as allowed by applicable law. These Terms don't limit liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or death or personal injury caused by negligence or willful misconduct.
Other than the liabilities described above, we are liable only for our breaches of these Terms, subject to applicable law.
If you're a business user or an entity:
To the extent allowed by applicable law, you'll indemnify us for any third-party legal proceedings arising out of or relating to your unlawful use of the Service or violation of these Terms. This indemnity covers any liability or expense arising from claims, losses, damages, judgments, fines, litigation costs, and legal fees.
We won't be responsible for the following liabilities: loss of profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill, or anticipated savings, indirect or consequential loss, or punitive damages.
Our total liability to you for any and all claims arising from these terms shall under no circumstances exceed the fees, if any, that you have paid to us for access to and use of the service.
In some jurisdictions the applicable law may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability or incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms removes or supersedes your rights as a consumer based on mandatory provisions of law.
12. Entire Agreement
These Terms contain the entire understanding between You and Burai, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.
13. Waiver and Severability
Our failure to exercise any rights under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
14. Governing Law and Resolution of Disputes
If you're a resident of, or an organization based in, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, these Terms and your relationship with Burai under these Terms are governed by the laws of your country of residence, and you can file legal disputes in your local courts.
If you're an EEA-based consumer, please contact us to resolve issues directly. The European Commission also offers an Online Dispute Resolution Platform, which we accept if required by law.
If you are not a resident of or an organization based in, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland or an EEA-based consumer, then Canadian law will govern all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms regardless of conflict of laws rules. These disputes may be resolved using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), however Dispute Resolution (DR) will be resolved exclusively in the federal or state courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and you and Burai consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
15. Assignment
We may transfer our obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time without your consent as long as it does not reduce your guarantees.
16. Termination
We reserve the right terminate or suspend your access to the Service if any of these things happen: (1) you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, (2) we're required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order, (3) we reasonably believe that your conduct causes harm or liability to a user, third party or Burai or (4) you are a repeat copyright infringer. If you believe your access to the Service has been suspended or terminated in error, please contact us. Upon termination of the Service or a part thereof, your license to use the Service or a part thereof will be automatically terminated. Following termination, all such terms that by their nature may survive termination of these Terms shall be deemed to survive such termination.
