Software. Any Software that may be made available by the Company in connection with the Service contains proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service, the Company hereby grants you a non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-exclusive right and license to use the Software on a compatible personal device solely in connection with the Service, provided that you shall not (and shall not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code or sell, assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer any right in any Software. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by the Company for use in accessing the Service.
AI Tools. Certain information, recommendations, suggestions, actions or other output (collectively, “Output”) generated and returned by the Service may be generated using artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools. In relying on AI tools, in addition to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement, there are numerous limitations that apply with respect to AI-generated Output due to the fact that it is automatically generated, including that (a) it may contain errors or misleading information, (b) AI systems do not have emotions and cannot understand or convey emotions in the way humans can, which can result in Output that lacks the empathy and emotion that humans are able to convey, and (c) Output may not be unique and other users may receive similar Output from use of the Service. You agree that you are responsible for evaluating, and bearing all risks associated with, the use of any content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or safety of any Output. You are solely responsible for, and Company disclaims any liability for loss, damages, corruption, or system instability arising from, your input into the Service or any Output.
Autonomous Operations and User Responsibility. You acknowledge that, when enabled, the Service may autonomously generate or execute Device Control Functions (as defined below) based on context-sensing, historical patterns, or natural-language prompts. YOU BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUPERVISING, REVIEWING, APPROVING, OR DISABLING ANY SUCH OUTPUT AND FOR MAINTAINING ADEQUATE BACKUPS. You are solely responsible for monitoring the actions undertaken by the Service and shall be liable for any action, consequence, and task completed or resulting from the Service fulfilling Device Control Functions based upon your input or prompts. If you do not elect to stop or change any action initiated by the Service, then you are granting the Service permission to complete such actions. Actions initiated by the Service—such as file deletion, data modification, clipboard writes, UI submissions, or shell commands—may be irrevocable. Company disclaims any liability for loss, damages, corruption, or system instability arising from your use or configuration of autonomous features, or any consequences therefrom. For purposes of this Section, “Device Control Functions” means programmatic invocations of system-level or application-level interfaces (e.g., event posting, accessibility APIs, shell execution) that result in mouse movement, keystroke injection, window manipulation, file input/output, network calls, or comparable side-effects triggered by the Software's inference routines or user prompts.

You are solely responsible for all data, images, information, feedback, suggestions, text, content and other materials that you upload, deliver, provide or otherwise transmit or store (hereafter "provide") to or through the Service or anything accessed by the Service in connection with your use of the Service, including all usage information such as keystrokes, cursor movement, screenshots and any data or materials recorded by the Service (“Your Content”). By using the Service, you hereby grant the Company (and our third-party partners and service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, display, publish and perform Your Content in connection with (a) providing the Service to you and (b) improving and enhancing the Service and for other development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in connection with the Service, including to create and train artificial intelligence and machine learning models used to support the Service. You agree that the foregoing includes a right for us to make Your Content available to, and pass the foregoing rights to, others with whom we have contractual relationships related to the provision of the Service, solely for the purpose of providing the Service, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose Your Content to third parties if we determine such access is necessary to comply with our legal obligations. Additionally, the Company may generate and use technical logs, data and learnings about your use of the Service and Your Content in aggregate, anonymized form to operate, improve, analyze and support the Service and other products and services of the Company and for other lawful business purposes. By providing Your Content through the Service, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, consents, and/or permissions necessary to grant the rights granted herein to Your Content.
Security Measures. We use reasonable efforts to employ technical, organizational and physical safeguards designed to protect Your Content. However, no security measures are failsafe and we cannot guarantee the security of Your Content. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of Your Content. The Company will have no liability to you for any unauthorized access or use of any of Your Content, or any corruption, deletion, destruction or loss of any of Your Content.

Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
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 the Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will 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 the Company 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.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND THE COMPANY 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 THE COMPANY 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), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. The Company 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 the email address set forth in Section 13. 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 the Company should be sent to the mailing address listed in Section 13 below. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
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 Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA's consumer arbitration page, https://www.adr.org/consumer. 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 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 these 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.
Seat of Arbitration. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company 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 will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either the Company or you under the AAA Rules, the Company and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, the Company will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Company will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
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.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 10.2 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 will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 10.2 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
Termination. You agree that the Company, 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 (including Your Content), for any reason, including for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. The Company 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 the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your Account and all related information and files in your Account (including Your Content) and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.
General. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company governing your access and use of the Service, and supersede any prior agreements between you and the Company with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Third-Party Services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of these Terms of Service and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Service to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign these Terms of Service without the prior written consent of the Company, but the Company may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. As used in these Terms of Service, the words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Company will not be in default hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay is due to civil disturbances, riot, epidemic, hostilities, war, terrorist attack, embargo, natural disaster, acts of God, flood, fire, sabotage, fluctuations or unavailability of electrical power, network access or equipment, or any other circumstances or causes beyond the Company's reasonable control.
