You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to and access the Service, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service. You shall be responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Service.

3. Content and Models

You retain ownership of all data and other information you provide to Tilda or otherwise load into the Service (including, for clarity, data provided for ‘fine tuning’ artificial intelligence models) (“Customer Content”).

Unless you ‘opt out’ as described below, you grant Tilda (and its successors and assigns) a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid-up, right and license to use, copy, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform the Customer Content: (i) to maintain and provide you with the Service, (ii) to exercise its rights and obligations, and otherwise enforce, this Agreement, and (iii) to train, improve, and otherwise further develop the Service (such as by training the artificial intelligence models we use).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than to our sub-processors and subcontractor acting on our behalf, we will not disclose your Customer Content to third parties other than in an aggregate and anonymized manner that does not identify you.

You may opt out of our use rights in Section 3(iii) above by emailing legal@tilda.bio as described at the end of this Agreement. If you choose to opt out, it will apply only to Customer Content you submit after Tilda receives your opt-out request. For clarity, any data provided prior to your opt out may continue to be subject to Section 3(iii). If you opt out, any credits or tokens for free usage of the Service may be automatically void (as determined by Tilda in its sole discretion).

In the event you use the Service to create any Fine-Tuned Models, Tilda will own such models (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing), but Tilda will not sell or otherwise share such models with third parties (but, for clarity, may share them as appropriate for Sections 3(i) and (ii) above). “Fine-Tuned Model” means an artificial intelligence neural network model that is based on parameters that are trained using data submitted by you in order to customize the model for Customer Content.

4. Usage Data

In the course of providing the Service, Tilda may collect statistical data and performance information, analytics, meta-data or similar information, generated through instrumentation and logging systems, regarding the operation of the Service, including your use of the Service (the “Usage Data”). Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Tilda’s right to collect Usage Data or to use it for any purpose, including to train artificial intelligence models and to maintain, improve, market and sell Tilda’s products and services, provided however, that (i) Usage Data will not include any Customer Content, and (ii) Tilda will not disclose Usage Data to any third party in a manner that allows such third party to identify you, other than Tilda’s employees, agents or service providers who are subject to obligations of confidentiality with respect to such Usage Data.

5. Fees

Fees for purchasing the Service (or any aspects thereof) will be as set forth by Tilda on the Website or in your order (collectively, "Fees"). All amounts are due in U.S. Dollars. You acknowledge and agree that Tilda may use a third-party payment processor to help facilitate payments hereunder.

If your purchase is subject to recurring charges, then you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval for each recurring charge. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. To avoid being charged for an upcoming renewal period, you must cancel your account at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription period. If you cancel after such period, no fees already charged will be refunded.

We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment. We also reserve the right to refuse any order placed through the Website. Except as otherwise set forth by Tilda – all Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable.

The Service may permit you to link to third-party websites or applications or services, and other websites or applications or services may contain links to the Service. Such third-party offerings, websites, and services are not under Tilda’s control, and you acknowledge that Tilda is not responsible or liable for the content, functions, accuracy, legality, appropriateness or any other aspect of them. The inclusion of any such link does not imply endorsement by Tilda.

10. Indemnification

You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tilda and each of our employees, contractors, directors, providers, suppliers and representatives from all liabilities, damages, losses, settlements, claims, actions, suits, demands, proceedings, costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that arise from or in connection with: (i) your use or misuse of the Service; (ii) your Customer Content, (iii) your access to any part of the Service, (iv) your negligence, misconduct, or other fault, (v) any dispute you may be involved in with another Service user, or (vi) your violation of this Agreement.

11. Warranty Disclaimer

The Service is provided on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Tilda makes no warranty that (i) the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components, or (ii) the results of using the Service will meet your requirements.

Certain aspects of the Service may involve artificial intelligence (“generative AI”). You acknowledge that artificial intelligence systems are a rapidly evolving field. While Tilda is always working to improve the service, due to the probabilistic nature of machine learning, the Service may provide inaccurate output or otherwise not always produce the intended results. As such, you acknowledge that no warranties are made by Tilda with respect to (and Tilda will have no liability with respect to) the output or other results (or your use thereof) of any generative AI.

In addition, you agree you will not use any generative AI features or functions to power, or make any decisions related to, any products or services that may involve personal injury or illegality. The foregoing disclaimers do not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

12. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Tilda, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or providers be liable under contract, tort, strict liability, negligence, or any other legal theory with respect to the Service: (i) for any lost profits or special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever, even if foreseeable, (ii) for any bugs, viruses, trojan horses, or the like (regardless of the source of origination), (iii) for any errors or omissions in the service, or (iv) for any direct damages in excess of (in the aggregate) the amounts (United States Dollars – USD) paid by you to Tilda during the immediately preceding three (3) month period (but, if no amounts have been paid, such cap will be USD $5.00).

Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Tilda is not liable for any output or results from any generative AI (or any use or reliance on any such output or results).

In addition, all users acknowledge and agree that Tilda will not be liable for any matters beyond Tilda’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation. The foregoing limitations do not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

13. Term and Termination

Tilda may terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you breach this Agreement, fail to comply with any laws or regulations, or we deem you pose a risk to our systems, networks, or other users.

Tilda may also terminate your access to all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without cause, on thirty (30) days email notice. You can terminate this Agreement by permanently ceasing to use the Service.

All provisions of this Agreement which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, and outstanding payment obligations.

14. Export and Trade Controls

You agree not to import, export, re-export, or transfer, directly or indirectly, any part of the Service or any information provided on or through the Service except in full compliance with all United States, foreign and other applicable laws and regulations.

15. Notices

All legal notices to Tilda must be sent via email to: legal@tilda.bio (the subject heading must include: Legal). If you have general questions regarding this Agreement or the Service, you may also email us at info@tilda.bio. Tilda may provide notices to you via email and to any other address you provide.

16. Dispute Resolution

Ideally, if you have any concerns or complaints against Tilda, we would like to resolve the issue without resorting to formal court or arbitration proceedings. Therefore, before filing a claim against Tilda, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us as set forth in Section 15 above. Tilda will attempt to resolve the dispute informally (and will contact you via email). If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of submission, you may bring a formal proceeding.

Arbitration.

Any disputes that are not settled informally as contemplated above shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The Rules will be AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules if available. Arbitration shall be conducted by one (1) arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules. In the event any telephonic or other streamlined procedures are available – they will be used. The written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and enforceable in any court. The arbitration proceeding shall take place in San Francisco, California using the English language. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring claims for equitable or injunctive relief before a court (see the “Going to Court” section below) at any time.

Evidence.

If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents we and you submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the Rules. Subject to the Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

Fees.

The parties will each bear their own costs and expenses associated with arbitration – and responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.

No Class Actions.

You may only resolve disputes with Tilda on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

Modifications.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that if we make any amendment to the foregoing arbitration terms or conditions (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link) in the future, such amendment will not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Tilda prior to the effective date of the amendment.

In addition, you have the right to reject any such amendment by notifying Tilda in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you are first notified of the amendment (according to the procedures set forth above in this Section 16). In the event you reject an amendment, the amendment will not apply to you – but this Section 16 will otherwise remain in full force and effect (according to the pre-amendment version you had already agreed to).

Going to Court.

Subject to the arbitration provision above, you agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be in the state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California. You hereby submit to such jurisdiction and venue. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THIS SECTION 16 WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

17. Electronic Communications, Transactions, and Signature

Visiting the Website, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Website, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing.

YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE WEBSITE.

You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

19. General

The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with Tilda’s prior written consent. Tilda may transfer, assign or delegate this Agreement and its rights and obligations without consent.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, as if made within California between two residents thereof. Both parties agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.

No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and you do not have any authority of any kind to bind Tilda in any respect whatsoever.
