3. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all text, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Service for its intended purpose. The diffusion decoding model, inference runtime, and all underlying algorithms are proprietary to the Company. Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of or rights to the model weights or runtime code.

4. User Content

You are responsible for any content you submit through the Service (including via the early access form, contact form, API prompts, or email). You represent that you have all necessary rights to submit such content. You grant us a limited license to use, store, and process the content as necessary to provide the Service and respond to your inquiry.

We do not use the content of API prompts or completions to train or fine-tune our models without your explicit written consent. API request content is processed transiently to serve your request and is not retained beyond what our Privacy Policy describes.

5. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms.
