3. Using Our Services

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it does not form part of these Terms, it is an important document that you should read and can be found here https://www.ketrone.io/privacy-policy.

• 3.1 What You Can Do. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may access and use our Services. In using our Services, you must comply with all applicable laws as well as our Acceptable Use Policy, and any other documentation, guidelines, or policies we make available to you.
• 3.2 What You Cannot Do. You may not use our Services for any illegal, harmful, or abusive activity. For example, you may not:
  • Use our Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates, or violates anyone’s rights;
  • Modify, copy, lease, sell, or distribute any of our Services;
  • Attempt to or assist anyone to reverse engineer, decompile, or discover the source code or underlying components of our Services, including our models, algorithms, or systems (except to the extent this restriction is expressly prohibited by mandatory applicable law, and in such cases, only to the minimum extent required by such law);
  • Automatically or programmatically extract data or Output;
  • Represent that Output was human-generated when it was not;
  • Interfere with or disrupt our Services, including circumventing any rate limits or restrictions or bypassing any protective measures or safety mitigations we put on our Services; or
  • Use Output to develop models that compete with Ketrone.

• 3.3 Software. Our Services may allow you to download software, such as mobile applications, which may update automatically to ensure you’re using the latest version. Our software may include open-source software that is governed by its own licenses that we’ve made available to you.
• 3.4 Corporate Domains. IIf you create an account using an email address owned by an organization (for example, your employer), that account may be added to the organization's business account with us, in which case we will provide notice to you so that you can help facilitate the transfer of your account (unless your organization has already provided notice to you that it may monitor and control your account). Once your account is transferred, the organization’s administrator will be able to control your account, including being able to access Content and restrict or remove your access to the account. You agree that Ketrone is not liable for any disputes, loss of data, or damages arising between you and your organization regarding the management, transfer, or access of your account, and you agree to indemnify Ketrone against any third-party claims resulting from such internal disputes.
• 3.5 Third-Party Services. Our services may include third-party software, products, or services (‘Third Party Services’) and some parts of our Services may include output from those services (‘Third Party Output’). Third-Party Services and Third-Party Output are subject to their own terms, and Ketrone disclaims all liability for, and makes no representations or warranties regarding, the accuracy, reliability, or availability of such services or outputs.
• 3.6 Feedback. We appreciate your feedback, and you agree that we may use it without restriction or compensation to you.

4. Content

• 4.1 Your Content. You may provide input to the Services (“Input”), and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are collectively “Content.” You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ketrone from any third-party claims, damages, or costs (including legal fees) arising out of or related to your breach of the foregoing warranty.
• 4.2 Ownership of Content. As between you and Ketrone, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. We hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output.
• 4.3 Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, output may not be unique, and other users may receive similar output from our Services. Our assignment above does not extend to other users’ output or any Third-Party Output.
• 4.4 Our Use of Content. We may use Content to provide, maintain, and improve our Services (subject to the model training restrictions below), comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies, and keep our Services safe. Ketrone does not use, and will not use, your Content to train its artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
• 4.5 Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may, in some situations, result in Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.

• Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
• You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
• You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, or medical decisions about them, without independent human review and verification of the Output.
• Our Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent Ketrone’s views. If Output references any third-party products or services, it doesn’t mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with Ketrone.

5. Our IP Rights We and our affiliates own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services. You may only use our name and logo in accordance with our Brand Guidelines.

6. Paid Accounts

• 6.1 Billing. If you purchase any Services, you will provide complete and accurate billing information, including a valid payment method. For paid subscriptions, we will automatically charge your payment method on each agreed-upon periodic renewal until you cancel. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, which we will collect as required by law. If your payment cannot be completed, we may immediately downgrade your account or suspend your access to our Services until all outstanding amounts are paid in full. Any past-due balances may accrue interest at the maximum rate permitted by law. Where Services are paid in advance, the terms of such payment shall be governed by the specific written agreement between you or your organization and Ketrone.

In such an event, we will provide you with at least 30 days' advance notice, where reasonably practicable. Your sole and exclusive remedy, and our entire liability, for any such discontinuation shall be a pro-rata refund of any fees pre-paid by you for the Services that remain unused as of the effective date of discontinuation.

Disclaimer of Warranties OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS MAKE NO WARRANTIES (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, AND DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT WILL BE SECURE OR NOT LOST OR ALTERED.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF KETRONE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO KETRONE FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some countries and states do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the terms above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights. In that case, these Terms only limit our responsibilities to the maximum extent permissible under the laws of the Abu Dhabi Global Market.

KETRONE’S AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE INTENDED THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS SECTION.

11. Dispute Resolution YOU AND KETRONE AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:

• 11.1 Mandatory Arbitration. You and Ketrone agree to resolve any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before these Terms existed (a “Dispute”), through final and binding arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation or of any update to these arbitration terms within 30 days after the update has taken effect by sending written notice to our legal department at legal@ketrone.io. If you opt out of an update, the last set of agreed-upon arbitration terms will apply.

Before either of us files a claim against the other, we both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally. You agree to do so by sending us notice through our support form. We will do so by sending you notice to the email address associated with your account. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of us has the right to initiate arbitration. We also both agree to attend an individual settlement conference if either party requests one during this time. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process.
• 11.3 Arbitration Forum and Procedures. If we are unable to resolve the Dispute, either of us may commence arbitration with the ADGM Arbitration Centre in accordance with the ADGM Arbitration Regulations.

This section does not require informal dispute resolution or arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.
• 11.5 Severability. If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class arbitration, class action, or representative action, this entire dispute resolution section will be unenforceable in its entirety.
