TERMS OF SERVICE FOR ACCOUNTABLE AI

1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account, or by using or accessing the Accountable AI mobile application (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. This is a legally binding agreement between you and Accountable AI ("we," "us," or "our").

2. The Service

Accountable AI is a tool designed to help you achieve your goals by creating tangible consequences for inaction. You define your goals, set deadlines, and select applications or websites on your device to be blocked ("Consequences") if you fail to provide valid proof of completion by the deadline. Proof is verified by our automated AI system.

3. License to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Accountable AI grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, and use the Service on a mobile device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You agree not to: (a) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service; (b) distribute, transfer, sublicense, lease, lend, or rent the Service to any third party; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service; or (d) make the functionality of the Service available to multiple users through any means.

If you access the Service through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) these Terms are concluded between you and Accountable AI, and not with Apple; (ii) Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services with respect to the Service; and (iii) Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and has the right to enforce these Terms against you.

4. User Accounts

• Age Requirement: You must meet the minimum age requirement for your jurisdiction to use the Service. The minimum age is 13 years old in most regions, 12 years old in South Korea, and 14 years old in Brazil. If your jurisdiction has a higher minimum age requirement, that requirement applies.
• Minors: Users who meet the minimum age requirement but are under 18 years old (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction) represent that they have obtained parental or guardian consent to use this Service. By using the Service, minors confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on their behalf.
• Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party and to take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your account.

5. Goals, Consequences, and Proof

• User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the goals you set, the consequences you choose, and the proof you submit. The Service is a tool to assist your self-discipline, not a guarantee of success.
• App Blocking: You acknowledge and agree that the app blocking feature is an automated consequence that you voluntarily configure. We are not responsible for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access blocked applications, including but not limited to missed opportunities, deadlines, or communications.
• AI Verification: You acknowledge that proof verification is performed by an automated AI system. While we strive for accuracy, AI verification may occasionally produce errors. You accept that verification decisions are intended to be final and are not subject to review, appeal, or reversal, except where required by applicable law. We do not guarantee that the AI's analysis will be free of errors or reflect your intent.

6. Data Retention

Proof content (photos) submitted to the Service is automatically and permanently deleted from our systems 30 days after submission. Proof metadata is anonymized or deleted after 30 days. For complete details on how we handle your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

7. User-Generated Content

You retain all ownership rights to the content you create and submit to the Service, including goal descriptions and proof of completion ("User Content"). However, by submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, modify, and display such content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service to you.

9. Feedback

We welcome feedback, comments, and suggestions for improvements to the Service ("Feedback"). You acknowledge and agree that any Feedback you provide to us is non-confidential and you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that you own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

10. Beta Features

We may, from time to time, offer access to features or services that are classified as "Beta," "Experimental," or "Early Access" ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided for testing and evaluation purposes and may not be as stable or reliable as the main Service. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) Beta Features may contain bugs, errors, or other defects; (b) usage of Beta Features is at your own risk; and (c) we have no obligation to provide technical support for Beta Features or to release them as part of the commercial Service.

22. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Section 22 applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction that restricts mandatory arbitration or class action waivers, this Section 22 will be enforced only to the extent permitted in your jurisdiction.

• (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the relationship between you and Accountable AI shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. Specifically excluded from application to this Agreement is the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
• (b) Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
• (c) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ACCOUNTABLE AI AGREE THAT EACH PARTY 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, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and all disputes shall be resolved in court.
• (d) Small Claims Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the small claims court's jurisdiction, provided such action is not brought in a representative or class capacity.
• (e) Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in subsections (b) and (c) above. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision to opt out to hello@accountableai.xyz within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out of these provisions, Accountable AI will also not be bound by them with respect to you.
• (f) Continuation. This Section 22 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
• (g) International Users. If you are accessing the Service from outside the United States, you agree that your use of the Service is governed by this Agreement and that any dispute arising from this Agreement shall be resolved as set forth herein, regardless of conflict of law principles.

23. California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as described in our Privacy Policy. This includes the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell your personal information.

24. Export Control and Government Users

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a state sponsor of terrorism; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree not to use, export, re-export, transfer, or make available the Service or any related content in violation of U.S. export control laws or economic sanctions. If you are a U.S. Government end user, our Service is a "Commercial Item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101.
