Model Training & Distillation (Strictly Prohibited)

You represent and warrant that you will not use the Service, including any Output data, to develop, train, fine-tune, or validate any machine learning models, foundation models, large language models (LLMs), or other artificial intelligence systems. This prohibition includes:

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Your Data

You retain all ownership rights to the Input you provide and the Output generated. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to access, use, and process your Input solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you and for internal debugging or performance monitoring as described in our Privacy Policy.

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated Section 3 (Anti-Distillation), we reserve the right to immediately terminate your account and forfeit any remaining prepaid credits as liquidated damages.

7. DISCLAIMERS

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT THE COMPRESSED OUTPUT WILL RETAIN 100% OF THE SEMANTIC MEANING OR ACCURACY OF THE INPUT. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in San Francisco County, California, under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
