If you lack such authority, you must not access or use the Service on behalf of that entity.

Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any modifications to these Terms shall constitute your unconditional acceptance of such modifications. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically for changes.

The Service is not available to any person or entity previously suspended or removed from the Service by the Company. Use of the Service is void where prohibited by applicable law.

3. Accounts and Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password, and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to notify the Company immediately at fade@infarium.com upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations. The Company reserves the right to terminate any account that it reasonably determines to be in violation of these Terms.

You shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Service or its related systems or networks; (b) circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Service; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service; (d) use the Service to transmit, store, display, distribute, or otherwise make available any content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, fraudulent, or harmful; (e) scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Service using automated means without prior written consent; (f) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Service infrastructure; (g) use the Service to develop competing products or services; (h) use the Service to harass, abuse, threaten, or harm any person or entity; or (i) violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine what constitutes a violation of these provisions and to take appropriate action, including suspension or termination of your access.

5. Inputs, Outputs, and Content

You retain all intellectual property rights in content you submit to the Service, including URLs, text, and other materials ("User Input"). By submitting User Input, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to process, analyze, reproduce, and use your User Input solely for the purposes of providing, operating, maintaining, and improving the Service.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license, and that your User Input does not violate any applicable law or any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights.

The Service generates outputs, including credibility scores, verdicts, summaries, and assessments ("AI Outputs"), using automated artificial intelligence systems and third-party model providers. AI Outputs are probabilistic and inherently imperfect. You acknowledge that AI Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, or otherwise unreliable, and that you are solely responsible for independently evaluating and verifying any AI Output before relying on it for any purpose. The Company shall not be liable for any consequences arising from your reliance on AI Outputs.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service and all of its components, including but not limited to software, source code, algorithms, interfaces, design, graphics, text, trademarks, trade names (including FADE™ and Infarium), and other content (collectively, "Company IP"), are owned by or licensed to the Company and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved by the Company.

These Terms do not transfer to you any ownership interest in any Company IP. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, display, perform, create derivative works from, or exploit any Company IP without the prior written consent of the Company. Any feedback, suggestions, ideas, or other input you voluntarily provide regarding the Service may be used by the Company without restriction or compensation to you.

7. Subscriptions, Fees, and Billing

Certain features of the Service are available only through paid subscription plans. All paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected) and will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. You authorize the Company and its third-party payment processors to charge your designated payment method for all applicable subscription fees, taxes, and other charges incurred.

The Company reserves the right to modify pricing at any time. If pricing for your current plan changes, the Company will provide reasonable prior notice, and the new pricing will apply at the start of your next billing cycle.

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms or as required by applicable law. In the event of billing errors or disputes, you must notify the Company within thirty (30) days of the date of the charge. Failure to dispute within this period constitutes your irrevocable acceptance of the charge. The Company is not responsible for any fees, penalties, or charges imposed by your bank or payment provider.

If your payment fails and is not resolved within a reasonable grace period, the Company may downgrade your account to the free tier or suspend your access without further notice.

8. Free Tier and Usage Limits

The Service may offer a free tier subject to usage limits, feature restrictions, and rate limiting as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The free tier is provided on an "as available" basis and does not constitute a guarantee of continued availability.

The Company reserves the right to modify, restrict, or discontinue the free tier or any features thereof at any time, with or without prior notice, and without liability to you. The Company may impose additional restrictions on free-tier accounts to prevent abuse or protect Service integrity.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with and relies on third-party services and providers, including but not limited to authentication providers, cloud infrastructure providers, payment processors (Stripe), email service providers (SendGrid), and artificial intelligence model providers (including Google LLC). These third-party services are governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies, which you are independently responsible for reviewing.

The Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the availability, accuracy, reliability, or performance of any third-party service. The Company shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or disruption arising from your use of or reliance on any third-party service. Links or integrations with third-party services do not constitute an endorsement by the Company.

10. Artificial Intelligence Disclaimer

FADE™ is an AI-powered platform that employs large language models, neural networks, machine learning algorithms, and other automated systems — including models provided by third parties — to analyze digital content and generate credibility assessments. By using the Service, you expressly acknowledge and agree to all of the following.

All analysis results, credibility scores, trust ratings, verdicts, summaries, assessments, and any other output generated by the Service (collectively, "AI Outputs") are probabilistic estimates produced by automated systems. They are NOT factual determinations, definitive findings, editorial judgments, legal conclusions, or professional opinions of any kind, and must not be treated as such.

AI models are imperfect by nature and can produce outputs that are inaccurate, incomplete, biased, outdated, misleading, contextually inappropriate, or otherwise erroneous, including so-called "hallucinations" — plausible-sounding but factually incorrect statements. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, objectivity, or fitness for any particular purpose of any AI Output.

Nothing produced by the Service constitutes legal, journalistic, editorial, medical, financial, investigative, defamatory, or any other form of professional advice. AI Outputs must not be used as the sole or primary basis for any consequential decision or action, including but not limited to: publishing claims about individuals, organizations, or events; initiating, supporting, or defending legal proceedings; making editorial, publishing, or broadcast decisions; taking actions that affect the rights, reputation, or interests of third parties; or any decisions with significant financial, reputational, health, or safety implications.

All AI Outputs should be independently verified and critically reviewed by qualified human professionals before being relied upon for any purpose. The Company strongly advises against publishing, citing, broadcasting, or disseminating any AI Output, in whole or in part, without independent corroboration from primary sources.

The Service relies on third-party AI model providers, including but not limited to Google LLC. The Company does not control and expressly disclaims all responsibility for the behavior, accuracy, outputs, policies, or failures of such third-party models or services.

The Company expressly and to the fullest extent permitted by law disclaims all liability — including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — arising from or related to any reliance on, use of, misuse of, or action taken or not taken based on any AI Output. Your use of AI-generated results is entirely at your own risk.

11. Disclaimers and No Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY; ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE; AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

The Company does not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that any defects will be corrected, that the Service or the servers that make it available are free of harmful components, or that any information obtained through the Service is accurate, complete, or reliable. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from the Company or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

The Company makes no warranty regarding the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service or the accuracy or reliability of any information obtained through the Service. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS; COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE; OR ANY OTHER LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS, THE SERVICE, OR ANY AI OUTPUT, EVEN IF THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

The Company's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — regardless of the form of the action (whether in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) — shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees actually paid by you to the Company during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD $100).

You acknowledge that this limitation of liability is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between the Company and you, and that the Company would not provide the Service without these limitations. The limitations in this section shall apply even if any limited remedy specified in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you in full.

13. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) any User Input you submit; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right, privacy right, or confidentiality obligation; or (e) any misrepresentation made by you.

The Company reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully with the Company's defense of such claim. You shall not settle any claim without the prior written consent of the Company.

14. Suspension and Termination

The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to: your actual or reasonably suspected violation of these Terms; fraudulent, abusive, or disruptive conduct; non-payment; legal obligation; or any action the Company deems necessary to protect the integrity of the Service or the rights of third parties.

You may terminate your account at any time by following the account deletion instructions within the Service or by contacting the Company at fade@infarium.com. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to the AI Disclaimer, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Intellectual Property, and Governing Law sections.

15. Changes to the Service or Terms

The Company reserves the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Service (or any features thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. The Company may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version to the Service. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when the current Terms were last updated.

If the Company makes material changes to these Terms, it will use reasonable efforts to notify you, such as by email, an in-app notification, or a prominent notice on the Service prior to the changes becoming effective. Your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms and any disputes or claims arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where applicable mandatory consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction provide otherwise.

Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute informally by contacting the Company at fade@infarium.com and providing a written description of the dispute. The Company will attempt to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may pursue available legal remedies.

You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose; otherwise, it shall be permanently barred. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive the right to a trial by jury for any disputes arising under these Terms.
