You may use the Services only if:
- you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement;
- your use of the Services complies with applicable law;
- you are not prohibited from using the Services under applicable sanctions, export controls, or other legal restrictions.
If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, company, government entity, educational institution, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
In that case, references to "you" and "your" refer both to the individual using the Services and the entity on whose behalf the Services are used.
3. Accounts
Access to certain Services requires an Account.
When creating an Account, you must provide accurate and complete information and keep that information reasonably current.
You are responsible for:
- maintaining the security of your Account;
- safeguarding credentials;
- controlling access to devices used to access the Services;
- all activity occurring under your Account except to the extent caused by our failure to maintain reasonable security measures.
Accounts may not be shared in a manner intended to circumvent usage restrictions, security controls, licensing requirements, or workspace limitations.
You must promptly notify us if you become aware of unauthorized access to your Account or credentials.
4. Workspaces and Organizations
The Services may provide personal workspaces, organizational workspaces, projects, team collaboration features, and related administrative functionality.
A workspace administrator may:
- invite Authorized Users;
- assign permissions;
- remove access;
- manage credentials;
- configure workspace settings;
- access information reasonably necessary to administer the workspace.
Workspace administrators are responsible for ensuring that Authorized Users have appropriate authority to access resources made available within a workspace.
Actions taken by Authorized Users within a workspace may be attributed to the applicable workspace, organization, or Customer.
We are not responsible for disputes between workspace members, administrators, customers, contractors, employees, or other users granted access to a workspace.
5. Access to the Services
Subject to these Terms, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right is granted to access and use the Services.
This right exists solely for lawful business, research, educational, personal, or other permitted purposes.
No ownership interest in the Services is transferred through access or use.
The Services may evolve over time. Features, models, APIs, functionality, limits, interfaces, and availability may change.
Reasonable efforts may be made to provide notice before material changes, but advance notice is not guaranteed in all circumstances, including where immediate action is necessary for security, legal, operational, or safety reasons.
Nothing in these Terms obligates us to continue offering any particular Service, feature, API version, model, capability, or integration for any specific period of time.
6. API Keys and Credentials
The Services may provide API keys, access tokens, authentication credentials, or similar mechanisms used to access Services.
Credentials are confidential and must be protected against unauthorized access.
You are responsible for:
- maintaining the confidentiality of credentials;
- implementing appropriate security controls;
- monitoring usage associated with credentials;
- promptly rotating compromised credentials;
- limiting access to authorized persons.
Credentials may not be:
- shared publicly;
- embedded in publicly accessible source code;
- sold, leased, sublicensed, or transferred except as expressly permitted by the Services.
Activity performed using credentials issued to a workspace or Account may be attributed to the applicable Customer.
7. Customer Applications
The Services may be used to build, deploy, operate, or support applications, products, workflows, integrations, agents, automations, and other systems ("Customer Applications").
You are solely responsible for Customer Applications, including:
- their operation;
- their content;
- their functionality;
- their compliance with applicable laws;
- their interactions with end users;
- their use of Outputs generated through the Services.
Nothing in these Terms transfers responsibility for Customer Applications to us.
8. Customer Content
You retain ownership of Customer Content to the extent ownership rights exist under applicable law.
Submitting Customer Content to the Services does not transfer ownership of that Customer Content to us.
You represent and warrant that you possess all rights, permissions, authorizations, and legal bases necessary to submit Customer Content to the Services and permit processing in accordance with these Terms and applicable policies.
You are solely responsible for Customer Content, including its legality, accuracy, quality, and appropriateness.
We do not monitor all Customer Content and are not responsible for Customer Content submitted through the Services.
9. Inputs and Outputs
The Services allow Customers to submit Inputs and receive Outputs generated by AI systems.
You are responsible for all Inputs submitted through your Account, workspace, credentials, applications, or Authorized Users.
Outputs are generated automatically based on Inputs and may be influenced by:
- model architecture;
- training methodologies;
- system configuration;
- service limitations;
- probabilistic processes;
- other factors that cannot be predicted or controlled with certainty.
Because of the nature of machine learning systems, Outputs may not be accurate, complete, reliable, current, suitable for a particular purpose, or free from errors.
You are responsible for evaluating Outputs before relying on them.
10. Ownership of Inputs and Outputs
As between you and us, and to the extent permitted by applicable law:
- you retain ownership of Inputs; and
- you own any rights you may have in Outputs generated for you through the Services.
To the extent any rights in Outputs are deemed to vest in us, those rights are assigned to you automatically upon creation.
This assignment applies only to Outputs generated for your use and does not affect:
- ownership of the Services;
- ownership of models;
- ownership of software;
- ownership of infrastructure;
- ownership of documentation;
- ownership of underlying technology.
Because machine learning systems may generate similar or identical responses for different users, no representation is made that Outputs will be unique.
Other users may receive Outputs that are similar or identical to Outputs generated for you.
Nothing in these Terms restricts the generation of similar Outputs for other users.
11. AI Service Limitations
The Services use machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies that produce probabilistic results.
Accordingly:
- Outputs may contain inaccuracies;
- Outputs may omit relevant information;
- Outputs may reflect outdated information;
- Outputs may be incomplete;
- Outputs may not reflect real-world facts;
- Outputs may contain unintended content.
The Services are tools that assist human decision-making and workflow automation. They are not a substitute for independent judgment, professional advice, or appropriate human review.
You must not rely on Outputs as the sole basis for decisions that could reasonably result in significant legal, financial, medical, employment, housing, educational, safety, or other material consequences for an individual.
You are responsible for implementing safeguards appropriate to your use case.
12. Acceptable Use

You may not attempt to bypass, disable, evade, or interfere with usage limits.
14. Fees and Billing
Certain Services may be provided without charge.
Certain Services may require payment now or in the future.
Where fees apply, applicable pricing, usage measurements, billing terms, and payment obligations will be disclosed through the Services or accompanying documentation.
If paid Services are introduced:
- fees may be based on subscriptions, usage, consumption, or other pricing models;
- payment obligations arise upon use of paid Services;
- taxes may be charged where required by law;
- unpaid amounts may result in suspension or restriction of access.
Pricing, plans, and billing structures may change from time to time.
Reasonable notice may be provided before material pricing changes take effect.
Nothing in these Terms guarantees the continued availability of any free tier, trial, promotional program, credit allocation, or complimentary usage allowance.
15. Security
Both parties play a role in maintaining security.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the Services and information processed through the Services.
You are responsible for:
- protecting credentials;
- protecting API keys;
- maintaining appropriate security controls;
- managing Authorized Users;
- securing Customer Applications;
- promptly addressing known compromises affecting your systems.
No service can guarantee absolute security.
16. Data Processing
Processing of Personal Information is governed by the Privacy Policy and any applicable data protection agreements.
Where we process Personal Information on behalf of a Customer, the Customer remains responsible for ensuring that appropriate legal rights, notices, permissions, and lawful bases exist for that processing.
Where required, additional data processing terms may apply.
Nothing in these Terms limits processing reasonably necessary to:
- provide the Services;
- maintain security;
- prevent abuse;
- comply with legal obligations;
- enforce agreements;
- protect rights and safety.
17. Feedback
You may choose to provide suggestions, comments, ideas, recommendations, bug reports, or other feedback regarding the Services ("Feedback").
Providing Feedback is voluntary.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license is granted to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, implement, and otherwise incorporate Feedback into the Services without compensation or attribution.
Nothing requires us to use Feedback.
18. Intellectual Property
The Services are protected by intellectual property laws and other applicable laws.
Except for rights expressly granted under these Terms, all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services remain reserved.

Where reasonably practicable, notice may be provided before a suspension or restriction takes effect.
Immediate action may be taken without prior notice where delay could reasonably result in harm, legal exposure, security risks, service disruption, or other material consequences.
Suspension of access does not relieve any obligation arising before the suspension occurred.
20. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time.
You may delete your Account using available Service functionality or by contacting support where applicable.
We may terminate or discontinue access to the Services, an Account, a workspace, an API credential, or any portion of the Services if:

22. Third-Party Services
The Services may interoperate with, integrate with, or rely upon third-party products, software, infrastructure, data sources, content, or services.
Use of third-party services is governed by the terms, conditions, and policies of the applicable third party.
We are not responsible for products or services provided by third parties and make no representations regarding their availability, security, performance, or legality.
The availability of integrations or third-party functionality through the Services does not constitute an endorsement of any third party.
23. Confidentiality
During use of the Services, either party may receive information that is confidential or proprietary in nature.
A receiving party shall:
- use confidential information only for purposes related to the Services;
- protect confidential information using reasonable safeguards;
- limit disclosure to persons with a legitimate need to know and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
