These Kiro Powers Publisher Terms and Conditions (these “Terms”) apply to you and the entity you represent (“you”) if you submit a Kiro power, plugin, app, or other content or software (“Kiro power”) for inclusion in a directory of Kiro powers. These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Amazon Web Services, Inc. and Amazon Web Services EMEA Sarl (together, “us” or “we”).
1. Your Kiro powers
(a) You are solely responsible for your Kiro powers and any related support for users of your Kiro powers.
(b) You may specify the terms under which users use your Kiro powers (for example, in the GitHub repo where your Kiro power is hosted), and if you do not specify such terms, you grant each Kiro power user a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to access, download, modify, and otherwise use your Kiro power for any personal or business purposes. All such terms are between you and the users of your Kiro powers and will not create any obligations or liabilities for us or our affiliates. For clarity, we are not your billing agent or payment processor.
(c) You and your Kiro powers must comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, and other requirements of governmental agencies (“Laws”) and the then current versions of the AWS Acceptable Use Policy, the AWS Responsible AI Policy, and any other guidelines or policies that we make available relating to Kiro powers.
(d) If you process or collect any data or information about users in connection with your Kiro powers (“User Data”), you will (i) provide legally adequate privacy notices to such users, (ii) obtain any necessary consent from users for the collection, use, transfer, and storage of User Data, (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in writing between you and such users, only use User Data for providing support for and facilitating users’ use of your Kiro powers, and (iv) ensure User Data is collected, used, transferred, and stored in accordance with your privacy notices and all applicable Laws. You are responsible for providing accurate information and will not make any false, inaccurate, or misleading claims or statements regarding Kiro or any Kiro powers. We may require you to provide additional registration or other information to verify your identity or the representations you have made to us. You agree that any personal information submitted to us will be subject to the AWS Privacy Notice currently referenced at https://aws.amazon.com/privacy, as we may update it from time to time. You authorize us to collect and use metadata and usage metrics from users’ use of your Kiro powers. If you suspect or become aware of any security vulnerability related to your Kiro powers that may adversely affect Kiro or users’ use of or access to Kiro, then you will immediately notify us and will take all appropriate steps to remedy such vulnerability, including cooperating with us.
(e) You grant us, our affiliates, and our independent contractors a nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to (i) reproduce, distribute, display, transmit, promote, and otherwise digitally make available to users your Kiro powers, and (ii) use, reproduce, display, and publish your name, logos, and Kiro powers in connection with marketing your Kiro powers and Kiro. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, these Terms do not grant to you or us any right in the other party’s intellectual property.
(f) We may at any time review or test your Kiro powers, including, without limitation, for security-related concerns or to check the accuracy of descriptions and other materials in your Kiro powers, as applicable. We may decline to list and may remove any of your Kiro powers from the directory at any time and for any reason. We may disable your ability to publish your Kiro powers on the directory for any or no reason by providing written notice to you. Following disablement, you will continue to provide your Kiro powers to existing users for at least 90 days, unless you are no longer making products or services similar to your Kiro powers commercially or otherwise publicly available. You may remove your Kiro powers from the directory at any time, and you will support existing users for at least 90 days following removal.
2. Representations and Warranties
You represent, warrant, and covenant that:
(a) You are lawfully able to enter into contracts (e.g., you are not a minor). If you are accepting these Terms for an entity, such as the company you work for, you represent to us that you have legal authority to bind that entity.
(b) You have and will ensure that any third parties acting on your behalf, or any third parties for which you are responsible, have the lawful right and necessary authorizations or licenses to grant the rights and licenses granted in these Terms.
(c) The provision of your Kiro powers to users will not violate any rights, licenses or authorizations, or any applicable Laws, and you will comply with the trade compliance requirements described in Section 6(f) below.
3. Indemnification
To the extent permitted under applicable law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates and licensors, and each of their and our respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives from and against any loss, expense, claim, liability, damage, action or cause of action (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to any third party claim, including any claim brought by another Kiro powers publisher against us: (a) alleging that your Kiro power, or the copying, use, distribution, sale, development, design, production, advertising or marketing thereof, infringes or misappropriates any third-party rights; (b) relating to a dispute between you and any other Kiro powers publisher or a user of your Kiro powers; (c) relating to any royalties or payments due by you to any third parties; (d) relating to any actual or alleged violation of Law, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud by you or third parties performing services or acting on your behalf relating to your Kiro powers; (e) concerning any claim or demand for payment of any taxes imposed in connection with your Kiro powers, and for any fines, penalties, or similar charges imposed as a result of your failure to collect, remit, or report any taxes; (f) relating to any actual or alleged breach of these Terms (including of your representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein), and (g) relating to any claim by your employees, agents, consultants, subcontractors, or other third parties performing services on your behalf relating to workers' compensation or other benefits. You will reimburse us for reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as our employees’ and contractors’ time and materials spent responding to any third party subpoena or other compulsory legal order or process associated with third party claims described in (a) through (g) above at our then-current hourly rates. You will not consent to the entry of a judgment or settle a claim without our prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld. You will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to us to defend each claim. If we reasonably determine that a claim might adversely affect us, we may take control of the defense at our expense (but without limiting your indemnification obligations).
4. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE DIRECTORY OR YOUR KIRO POWERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, THE VALUE OF YOUR KIRO POWERS, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, CUSTOMERS, OPPORTUNITIES, OR GOODWILL, AND OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE DIRECTORY OR YOUR KIRO POWERS WILL NOT EXCEED US $500.
5. Confidentiality
You will (a) protect and not disclose information made available by us that is identified as confidential or that reasonably should be considered confidential, (b) use that information only to fulfill your obligations or exercise your rights under these Terms, and (c) either destroy or return all such information to us promptly when all of your Kiro powers have been removed and disabled (and, upon request, confirm such destruction in writing). You will take all reasonable measures to avoid disclosure, dissemination or unauthorized use of our confidential information, including, at a minimum, those measures you take to protect your own confidential information of a similar nature.
6. Miscellaneous
(a) THESE TERMS AND ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS, WHETHER PREEXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, ITS INTERPRETATION, THE BREACH, TERMINATION, OR VALIDITY THEREOF, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS WHICH RESULT FROM THESE TERMS, WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS OR THE U.N. CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS. YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED AT KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE DESCRIBED IN THE PRIOR SENTENCE) OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. HOWEVER, WE MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE (OR SIMILAR) REMEDIES IN ANY JURISDICTION.
(b) We may modify these Terms (including the policies and guidelines set forth in 1(c)) at any time by posting a revised version on the Kiro Site or by otherwise notifying you. The modified Terms will become effective upon posting or, if we notify you by email, as stated in the email message. By continuing to make your Kiro powers available to users after the effective date of the modifications, you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. It is your responsibility to check the Kiro Site regularly for modifications to this Agreement.
(c) You will not assign or otherwise transfer these Terms or any of your rights and obligations under these Terms, without our prior written consent. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section will be void. We may assign these Terms without your consent (i) in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or (ii) to any affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization; and effective upon such assignment, the assignee is deemed substituted for us as a party to these Terms and we are fully released from all of our obligations and duties to perform under these Terms. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
(d) These Terms (including the policies and guidelines set forth in Section 1(c), which are incorporated by reference) are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of these Terms and supersedes any prior agreement. If the terms of this document are inconsistent with the terms contained in any policy or guidelines set forth in Section 1(c), the terms contained in this document will control. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be deemed to be restated to reflect as nearly as possible the original intent in accordance with applicable law, and the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms will remain in force until all your Kiro powers have been removed and disabled. Sections 1(a)-(d), 1(f), 2-6 will survive any removal or disablement of your Kiro powers and the expiration of these Terms.
(e) The parties are independent contractors and nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, or similar relationship. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in performing these Terms. Except as set forth in Section 3, these Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to these Terms. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our rights. You are responsible for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto), if any, that are imposed upon or with respect to your Kiro powers.
(f) In connection with these Terms, you will comply with all applicable import, re-import, sanctions, anti-boycott, export, and re-export control Laws, including all such Laws that apply to a U.S. company, such as the Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, and economic sanctions programs implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. For clarity, you are solely responsible for compliance related to your Kiro powers. You represent and warrant that you, or any party that owns or controls you, are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. Government (e.g., the Specially Designated Nationals List and Foreign Sanctions Evaders List of the U.S. Department of Treasury, and the Entity List of the U.S. Department of Commerce), the European Union or its Member States, or other applicable government authority.
(g) We may provide notice to you under these Terms by either (i) posting a notice on the Kiro website (https://kiro.dev), or any successor or related locations designated by us, as may be updated by us from time to time (the “Kiro Site”), or (ii) sending a message to the email address then associated with your account. It is your responsibility to keep your email address current. Notices we provide by posting on the Kiro Site will be effective upon posting and notices we provide by email will be effective when we send the email.
