Not a Commercial Release

TBC has not commercially released the Service or the Software, and the Service and Software have not yet been tested like other commercially released services or software that you may use.  Therefore, it is likely that the Service and Software will be incomplete and will contain errors. The Services may change materially or be suspended or discontinued at any time, in whole or in part, with or without notice.  If you do not wish to accept the risk of errors in the Software, please do not use the Service or Software.  Furthermore, TBC is not obligated to correct errors, correct the effects of errors (e.g., fix your computer or recover lost data), or provide any technical support related to use of the Service or Software.  TBC makes no commitment regarding availability, uptime, service levels, or support, and may add, remove, or modify features, and may impose or change usage limits, at its discretion.

Because the Service uses experimental artificial-intelligence models, the videos and other content it generates (“Output”) may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, or otherwise unexpected, may not be unique to you, and should not be relied upon. TBC is not responsible for any Output or any use of or decisions made using such Output. 

The Service and Software have not been made available to the public and TBC desires to maintain the confidentiality of the Service and Software until it is commercially released.  Accordingly, you will take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of and not disclose to any third party: (a) all non-public information disclosed by TBC to you under this Agreement; and (b) all Feedback, Service and Software performance data, and all other non-public information obtained through your testing, evaluation, and use of the Service or Software.  Furthermore, in order to protect the trade secrets and proprietary know-how contained in the Software, you will not decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Software.  You agree to promptly report any breach of this section to TBC, and you acknowledge that TBC may seek injunctive relief (without the need to post a bond) to prevent any actual or threatened breach.

Feedback

To the extent you provide any feedback concerning the Service and Software, including identifying potential errors and improvements (“Feedback”), you hereby grant TBC a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, disclose, distribute, modify, and otherwise exploit your Feedback without restriction, including to improve the Service, Software, and TBC’s models, and to create other products and services.

We may remove or disable access to any content and may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any actual or suspected violation.

License and Access to the Service

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service, and to use any Software solely as necessary to access and use the Service, in each case during the term of this Agreement and solely for your own personal or commercial use.  This license expires when we no longer provide the applicable Service or your account is terminated, whichever occurs first, and you will cease all use of the Service and Software at that time.

Intellectual Property

Except for the license granted to you in the Section titled “License and Access to the Service), we (and our licensors) retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service and Software (including our proprietary neurally-optimized model and all other models and technology underlying the Service), including all related intellectual property rights. The Service and Software are protected by applicable intellectual property laws, including United States copyright law and international treaties.

The images, text prompts, and other materials you upload or submit to the Service are your “User Content.”  As between you and TBC, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to your User Content.  You grant TBC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works of, perform, distribute, display, and otherwise process and exploit (collectively, “Use”) your User Content and the resulting Output solely (a) to operate, provide, secure, and maintain the Service for you, including to deliver Output to you, prevent abuse, and comply with applicable law and (b) in aggregated and/or deidentified form (including after the Term) to develop, operate, provide, secure, maintain, support and/or improve the Service, Software, and TBC’s other products, services, and technology.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, TBC will not Use your User Content or Output to train or fine-tune its models other than as necessary to provide the Service and Software to you. For the avoidance of doubt, aggregated or de-identified usage and telemetry data generated or collected in connection with your use of the Service and/or Software (for example, which features you use and whether you retained, downloaded, or reported a given Output) “Usage Data”) shall not be considered User Content or Output, and TBC may freely use such usage and telemetry data for any lawful purpose.  Usage Data does not include your Input or Output in a form that identifies you. TBC may also use, store, and process personal data included in your User Content and Output as described in our Privacy Policy.

As between you and TBC, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to your Output, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, may use your Output for any lawful purpose. TBC claims no ownership of your User Content or Output.  For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement grants you any right, title, or interest in, and TBC and its licensors reserve all right, title, and interest in and to, the Service, the Software, the models, and any other underlying technology or intellectual property (including any third-party technology or intellectual property).  Because of the nature of artificial intelligence, Output may not be unique, and the Service may generate the same or similar Output for other users; TBC makes no representation that Output is original, non-infringing, or eligible for copyright or other intellectual-property protection, and you are solely responsible for evaluating Output and determining whether it is suitable for your purposes before relying on or using it. 

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, consents, and permissions necessary to submit your User Content and to grant the licenses above, and that your User Content, your use of the Service, and TBC’s use of your User Content and the resulting Output in accordance with this Agreement will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, or any applicable law, rule, or regulation.  You are solely responsible for your User Content and Output.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration 

Generally. Except as described in the Sections titled “Exceptions” and “Opt-Out”, you and TBC agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement, the Service or Software, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND TBC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” within 30 days after the date that you agree to this Agreement by sending a letter to Biological Black Box, Inc. d/b/a The Biological Computing Co., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 1500 Owens St, San Francisco, CA 94158, US, that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once TBC receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” will be void and any action arising out of this Agreement will be resolved as set forth in the Section titled “Governing Law”. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting TBC.  

Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). TBC’s address for Notice is: Biological Black Box, Inc. d/b/a The Biological Computing Co., 1500 Owens St, San Francisco, CA 94158, US. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or TBC may commence an arbitration proceeding. The payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your residence unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or TBC must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. 

Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in the Section titled “No Class Actions”, the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by TBC before an arbitrator was selected, TBC will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

No Class Actions. YOU AND TBC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. 

Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If TBC makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TBC’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with TBC will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will survive.

Enforceability. If the Section titled “No Class Actions” or the entirety of this Section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” is found to be unenforceable, or if TBC receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section titled “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the Section titled “Governing Law” will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. You and TBC submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within the County of San Francisco, California for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under this Agreement.

Miscellaneous

You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.  We may assign this Agreement without your prior written consent. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings.  No waiver or modification of this Agreement will be valid unless in writing and agreed to by us.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
