Terms of Service

Last Updated: 12/20/2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AlterAI's conversational AI services, websites, and related applications (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.

1. Eligibility

The Service is intended for individuals 18 years or older. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

2. Accounts and Security

You may need an account to use parts of the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and promptly update it as needed. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

3. Definitions

"User Content" means data, text, files, or materials you submit to or through the Service. "AI Output" means content generated by the Service in response to your prompts or inputs.

4. Health, Legal, and Financial Disclaimers

  • Informational only; no professional advice. The Service may generate content related to health, wellness, legal, financial, or other topics. All AI Output is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
  • No doctor–patient or professional relationship. Using the Service does not create a doctor–patient, attorney–client, or other professional relationship. Never ignore or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read in the Service.
  • Not for emergencies. Do not use the Service for emergencies. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately (e.g., 911 in the U.S.).
  • No PHI; not HIPAA‑compliant. The Service is not intended to store, receive, or process protected health information (PHI) and is not a HIPAA‑compliant service. Do not submit PHI or other sensitive health information.
  • Not FDA evaluated or approved. Statements made by or through the Service have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any similar regulator. AI Output is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
  • Not a medical device. The Service and AI Output are not designed, intended, or marketed to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or to affect the structure or any function of the body. Do not use the Service as a medical device or for clinical decision‑making.
  • FTC health‑claim compliance. If you use AI Output in advertising or promotional materials, you are responsible for ensuring that all health‑related statements are truthful, not misleading, and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence, consistent with U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidance. Disclaimers cannot cure an otherwise deceptive claim.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree you will not, and will not permit others to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose.
  • Infringe or violate others' rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
  • Upload or generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, deceptive, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable, including harmful misinformation.
  • Attempt to extract sensitive information about individuals without consent or to deanonymize data.
  • Upload malware or attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Service, its infrastructure, or security.
  • Use the Service to provide professional medical, legal, or financial advice, or to make decisions that create a risk of harm without independent verification by a qualified professional.
  • Claim or imply that the Service or any AI Output is FDA approved, FDA cleared, or government endorsed, or make health‑related claims without competent and reliable scientific evidence consistent with FTC guidance.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate access at our sole discretion.

6. Intellectual Property and Licenses

Service IP. We and our licensors own all rights in the Service, including software, prompts, and visual design elements. Except for rights expressly granted, no licenses are given.

Your Content. You retain any ownership in your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, use, copy, store, transmit, display, and create derivative works of your User Content as needed to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service, including to share your User Content with third‑party AI providers used for inference.

You are responsible for your use of AI Output, including obtaining any third‑party permissions and compliance with applicable laws.

7. Third‑Party Services

We use third‑party providers (e.g., AI inference partners and payment processors such as Stripe) to operate the Service. Your use of third‑party services may be subject to their terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third‑party services.

8. Fees, Billing, and Taxes

If you purchase a paid plan, you authorize us (and our payment processor) to charge you the applicable fees, including taxes. Plans may auto‑renew until canceled. You can cancel at any time to stop future charges; we may specify refund or credit terms on the pricing or checkout pages. We may change pricing upon notice; continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

9. Term and Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately for any violation of these Terms, suspected fraud or abuse, legal compliance, or to protect the Service or others. You may stop using the Service at any time. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AlterAI and its affiliates from any claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to your User Content, your use of AI Output, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Security and Data Incidents

We implement commercially reasonable safeguards to protect the Service and your data, but no system is perfectly secure. You acknowledge that unauthorized access or incidents may occur despite our efforts.

15. Export Controls and Sanctions

You may not use the Service in or for the benefit of any country, organization, or person embargoed or sanctioned by applicable laws, or otherwise in violation of export control or sanctions regulations.

16. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to conflict of laws rules. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania for any dispute not subject to arbitration or that cannot be otherwise resolved. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers or limitations; in such cases, the foregoing applies to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17. Miscellaneous

If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them without restriction. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and AlterAI regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on the same subject.
