Services Addendum
(Annex to the Software as a Service Agreement)
This Services Addendum (“SA”) is entered into pursuant to and forms an integral part of the Software as a Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) between LinkGPT Ltd., Israeli company number 517243622 (the “Company”) and _____________ (the “Customer”), dated __ _________, ____. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
1. Purpose and Scope
1.1. This Service Addendum describes the technical, operational, and functional aspects of the Services provided by the Company, including the AI based chatbot platform known as LinkGPT (the “Platform”), its management dashboard, integrations, and related infrastructure.
2. Description of Services
2.1. Core Functionality. The Services provide the Customer with access to the Platform’s basic plan, free of charge, enabling automated, 24/7 interaction with End Users through an AI driven chat interface which includes connection limited to up to ten (10) website pages, one hundred (100) chat messages per calendar month, basic analytics, and a shareable chat link (the “Base Plan”).
2.2. Management Dashboard. The Platform includes a management interface that allows Customer to select, activate, deactivate, or replace Agent Modules at its discretion. Based on the Customer’s selection of Agent Module, the platform’s functionalities, as described in the Platform Billing System addendum attached hereto, shall become available through the management interface.
2.3. Message Limit. The Base Plan includes an allocation of one hundred (100) chat messages per calendar month. A "message" shall be defined as each individual text-based communication sent by the Platform’s AI-based chatbot in response to an End User’s prompt, query or interaction. Customer's total monthly message allocation shall be calculated as the sum of (i) the Base Plan allocation, plus (ii) the cumulative message allocation contributed by all active Agent Modules during that calendar month. If Customer exceeds its monthly message allocation, the Services are automatically suspended until the next billing cycle. Customer will be allowed continued use and Services will be reinstated subject to purchase of additional message capacity. Each active Agent Module increases Customer's monthly message cap by an additional two hundred fifty (250) messages.
2.4. Agent Modules. Customer may, at its discretion, activate additional functional modules ("Agents") from the Company's Agent store on its website. Each Agent is designed as an “add-on” and meant to extend specific capabilities of the Platform subject to (i) Customer’s selection of Agent and (ii) Customer’s payment of corresponding separate monthly fees as set forth in the Platform Billing System addendum attached herein.
2.5. AI Processing. The Platform uses third party AI models (including OpenAI) to generate responses based on Customer Data. The Company may update or replace the underlying AI model or infrastructure from time to time, provided such change does not materially degrade the functionality of the Services.
2.6. Connected Influencers. The Platform enables the Customer to link its account to influencer profiles for the purpose of associating products or content with influencer chats, allowing influencers to respond to End User inquiries and provide recommendations related to the Customer’s offerings. The connection to an influencer is initiated by the Customer and processed by the Company.
Platform Billing System
LinkGPT operates on a credit-based model supporting:
- Three different pricing tiers to select from with included credits and overage billing.
- 30-day trials with configurable credit amounts.
- Multiple action types (AI-powered and client-side included).
- User-configurable spending caps.
- Overage charges are tracked and billed through Paddle Billing, with automated invoicing/receipts, subscription and payment management, and tax/VAT handling via Paddle’s “merchant-of-record” model.

- AI Messages means discrete message requests processed through the Service’s AI-enabled functionality (for example, a prompt and any associated processing), each of which consumes the number of Credits specified in the Credit Actions table.
- Paddle/Paddle Billing means Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd. and/or its applicable affiliates) and its billing and payments platform used to track usage, calculate and charge overages, process payments, and issue invoices and/or receipts in connection with the Service.
