Terms & Conditions

Welcome to “AL” the artificial intelligence platform and technology brought to you by Signal Theory, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or “ours”).  These terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”) govern your use of AL and together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated and forms a part of these Terms of Use, form a legally binding and enforceable contract between you and us (the “Agreement”).  Our Privacy Policy describes how we obtain, treat, store and use your information, as well as your rights and obligations when you use AL.

Please read these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy because if you use AL, you will be acknowledging that you have read and understand your Agreement with us and are unconditionally and irrevocably agreeing to be bound by and comply with all of the provisions in the Agreement. Our Terms of Use are always available at https://al.chat/terms and we urge you to check frequently to be sure you are aware of the current terms and conditions that apply to you.

As you read through this Agreement, bear in the mind the following definitions and meanings of the terms that apply and while some are defined in the context in which they are used, the following are some general terms that you should keep in mind:

When we refer to a “user,” or “you”, “your” or “yours” we are referring to and mean any individual who registers and establishes an account with us and that we permit to use AL. When you see words such as “use”, “uses”, “using” or similar words, they mean and refer to any time an individual (or device at the direct or indirect instruction of an individual), registers and accesses, visits, directs a browser, uses, takes advantage of or benefits from the features, functions, capabilities and resources of AL or who makes any attempt to do any of these things.

In addition, you should understand that words such as “include”, “includes”, “including” or similar terms mean “including, but not limited to” or “including , without limitation,” and are to be interpreted as examples, purely illustrative and comprehensive, and not narrowly, specific or exclusive. If we use words that are singular or plural, you should construe them as interchangeable and words that explicitly or implicitly seem to refer to a particular gender or identity, and meant to be neutral and apply to anyone, regardless of their preference, orientation or choice and should be interpreted within the context in which they are used.

What is AL?

AL is an ‘artificial intelligence’ service we make available to users which includes certain technology, systems, programming and user interfaces that use machine learning techniques, algorithms, and data processing capabilities to perform specific tasks autonomously or with minimal human intervention, including generative artificial intelligence, chatbots, recommendation engines, recommender widgets, image recognition systems, language translation services, virtual assistants, and predictive analytics tools, among others. The services available to you as a user of AL may be derived from a combination of materials, tangible and intangible that are publicly available, proprietary to us or licensed from a third party, the unique combination of these are ours.

We reserve the right to update, modify, add, remove, enhance or change the services, features, functions and/or operational characteristics of AL any time in our sole discretion. While we make no representation that AL will always be available for use and undertake no obligation to notify you if or when AL becomes unavailable, we will try, where practicable, to provide notice when AL may be unavailable due to scheduled updates and maintenance. 

Registering as an AL User

In order to use AL, you must: (a) be a legal resident of the United States;  (b) be at least 18 years old or the minimum age required to legally enter into legally binding and enforceable agreements in the State in which you are a legal resident; and (c) neither you, nor and anyone accessing or using AL authorized by you, or using your Account credentials, are a person, firm or enterprise subject to restrictions described in the Export Restrictions section of these Terms of Use below. If you meet these requirements, to use AL you will need to register and create an account with us (“Account”). We currently use OAuth (using Google credentials) in order to log in once you are a registered user, but we may provide other methods to allow you to log in to AL in future and we will specify those on the log-in web page. Whether using OAuth or another unique username and password combination, we will refer to your log-in authorization credentials as your “User ID.”

If you are registering as part of a company, partnership, joint venture or other legally recognized business enterprise (“Business Client”) we will have assigned a unique subdomain or URL and users who are authorized by the Business Client will be able to access AL using their User ID.  Each Business Client is responsible for designating, adding or removing their authorized users. Business Clients will be able to authorize up to 250 users,  but each user must still register and establish an Account in order to use AL.

During the registration process, all users will need to provide us with certain information about you and your preferences so that we can contact you, as well as for security purposes to allow us to authenticate your right to use AL. It is for you to make sure you provide accurate, complete and current information and if any of the information you provide changes, you agree to notify us and update your Account so that the information is always up to date and current. Failing to do so may not only compromise security but also make it more difficult for us to authenticate your right to log in as a user. Of course you can close your Account at any time by contacting us at support@al.chat.

As part of the registration process, you may be asked to select a username (which may be your email address) and password that only you know, which together form a unique combination that we will refer to as your “User ID”.  You will use your User ID to log in each time you want to use the services available from AL.  Do not share your password or unique User ID, because you are and will be responsible for any all activity occurring under your Account. If you find out or even suspect your password or User ID has been compromised, change your password and notify us immediately at security@al.chat, because unless and until we actually receive notice from you, you will remain solely and fully responsible and liable for any and all activity, transactions, breaches of confidentiality, violations of the Agreement and any laws or regulations attributed to your User ID, even if you did not authorize or even know about it.  If you use any other person’s name, password, User ID or attempt to impersonate someone else, you will be in violation of this Agreement, and it may also subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.

We may decide to offer certain additional services and there may be additional fees associated with those services. There may also be additional terms and conditions that apply and if you elect to take advantage of these additional services, the additional terms and conditions will supplement this Agreement.

How to Use and How Not to Use AL

To help you better understand what is and is not permissible in your use of AL, attached at the end and forming a part of these Terms of Use are our AL Usage Guidelines which describe how and for what purposes you may and may not use AL. Please read them carefully because if you fail to comply and violated our AL Usage Guidelines, we will not only have the right to terminate your Account and use of AL, but we may report your activity and information to any law enforcement and governmental agency appropriate to the circumstances. You may also be subject to civil, and in some cases criminal, prosecution. When you use AL, including your Content, Inputs, Outputs and your use of any Outputs (as these are defined in the Section entitled Input, Output and Content below), you may only do so in compliance with: (a) this Agreement, which includes these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy and our AL Usage Guidelines; (b) any additional guidelines or supplemental terms we post on AL or notify you; and (c) all applicable laws and regulations.

If you use or may use AL to generate Output that may affect another person’s health, safety, medical condition, legal rights, financial affairs or you use any Content that could adversely affect any individual or individuals who may rely on your Output, it is your responsibility to have that Output reviewed, validated and if necessary corrected, by a qualified professional with experience, knowledge (and if appropriate a bona fide license from a professional licensing authority) before it is made available or in final form.  Each user, and if applicable, the Business Client that authorized that user, is responsible for the accuracy, validity and propriety of your Output.

You further acknowledge and understand that there may be disclosure requirements that are part of contractual relationships or other obligations with respect to others with whom you do business or interact and, in some cases, disclosure is required by law. You agree to comply with any and all such obligations and requirements and, if necessary, consult with your own legal and professional advisors to ensure you are aware of and comply with the disclosure requirements that apply to you. 

Input, Output, and Content.

When you submit any text, documents, images, digital files or any other items to AL in connection with your use of our services, we will refer to these as “Input” and when AL generates responses based on your Input, we will refer to these as “Output” and we will use the term “Content” to refer, individually and/or collectively, to Input and Output.

You are responsible for the Input you submit to AL or otherwise in connection with your use of our services. When you submit Input, you are representing and warranting to us that: (a) you have all necessary rights, licenses, authorization and permission to allow us to process Input under the provisions of this Agreement; and (b) your submission of Input to us will not: (i) breach or violate any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement; (ii) violate, infringe upon or misappropriate the rights of any other party, including any intellectual property or other legally protectible rights; and (iii) will not any laws or regulations or any agreements or obligations by which you may be bound.

You retain all rights to your Input and we obtain no rights, title or interest in or to your Input, except that AL may process and use your Input to provide its service. Subject to your compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, if we acquire or may be construed to obtain any rights, title or interest to Output generated by your Input, we hereby assign to you all such right, title, and interest in and to all Output.

As you appreciate, artificial intelligence, machine learning technology and unsupervised algorithms capable of self-learning are evolving technologies that continue to be developed and have varying degrees of validity, authenticity, reliability and accuracy, and as such, you are acknowledging and agreeing:

·       to accept the risk that Output may not always be accurate, complete or reliable and may contain material inaccuracies and deficiencies, even if the Output seems accurate;

·       that you should not use or rely on any Output without independently confirming validity, authenticity, reliability and/or accuracy;

·       notwithstanding your rights, title and interest to Output as between you and us pursuant to this Agreement, you should not assume you or any other party is free to use Output without restriction unless and until you are able to independently confirm clearance of the Output for the use contemplated.

·       AL may generate Output may be inaccurate, incomplete or even biased, to the extent that AL and all Input to AL from you and others may be flawed, out of date or incomplete.

AL is a Closed System

We do not use any Content to train AL that is not publicly available or proprietary to us or for which we have obtained the necessary licenses, rights, authorizations and permissions from the rights holder. You can request us to delete your Content at any time by contacting us at support@AL.chat and we will process the deletion within 30 days of your request.  In addition if your Account is closed or terminated, we will similarly delete Content you provided or generated. Whether deleted based on your request or the closure or termination of your Account, you acknowledge and agree we have no obligation to restore or revert AL to any previous state or condition.

If your Content does or is suspected to be in violation of our AL Usage Guidelines, we may review, evaluate and use that Content to enhance and strengthen our ability to detect and enforce violations of our  AL Usage Guidelines, which may include training our machine learning algorithms, systems and technology to better identify such violations.  

6. Fees, Billing & Payment

Use of AL is limited to 100,000 tokens per minute and 1,000,000 tokens per day per Business Client or individual instance. If you exceed these limits you (or the Business Client that authorized you as a user) will be charged $20 for each 1,000,000 or part thereof that is over these limits.

Use of AL and our services require users to pay a fee which depends on the tier you sign-up for.

As a user, you are responsible for paying the fees that apply to you, as well as any taxes we are required to collect on your use of AL, if there are any (the “Fees”). As part of the registration process you will be asked to provide complete, accurate and up-to-date payment and billing information (“Payment Method”). You agree that we may charge, debit or withdraw funds necessary to pay your Fees, using the Payment Method you have provided to us. You may change your Payment Method by following the procedures in your Account and you should allow for at least ten (10) business days for any changes to take effect.  

We have the right to increase the Fees for our Services, unless you have elected to use AL for a fixed, non-cancellable term at a specific Fee. If we charge additional fees in connection with our Services, we will give you an opportunity to review and accept the additional fees before you are charged. Also, additional fees may apply for additional Services or features of the Services that we may make available. If you do not accept any such additional fees, we may discontinue your access to the Services or features.

If the Fees are recurring or based on usage, you agree we may charge these Fees to your Payment Method on a periodic basis.
