BoodleBox by boodleAI Terms of Service

1. Introduction

1.1 Welcome to BoodleBox!

Thank you for using the boodleAI and the products, services, tools, data, features, and website that we make available to you as part of BoodleBox, collectively known as (“BoodleBox”).  This Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of the date of the subscriber’s sign-up (“Effective Date”) and shall continue on a month-to-month basis. Unless terminated by the subscriber, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one (1) month periods or one year periods if the Subscriber has chosen an annual subscription (each a “Renewal Term”) at the then-current subscription rate.

1.2 BoodleBox

BoodleBox is an AI-driven platform developed by boodleAI. It enables users to create an AI assistant by selecting and combining large language models, personalities, external datasets, and internal datasets. BoodleBox also allows users to purchase or subscribe to these different elements to enhance their AI assistants. Furthermore, BoodleBox provides search functionalities, generation of responses to user prompts, multi-chat capabilities, and a unique feature of creating a “boodle” from a prompt and response, among other capabilities.

1.3 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using BoodleBox, You (“User”, “You”, “Your”) agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) set forth by boodle, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“boodleAI”, “Company”, “We”, “Us”, “Our”). These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use BoodleBox. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should refrain from using BoodleBox.  Continued use of BoodleBox constitutes acceptance of these Terms and any revised Terms.

These Terms include our Privacy Policy and other documentation, guidelines, or policies we may provide in writing. By using BoodleBox, you agree to these Terms.

Your privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, and disclose information about you. You understand that through your use of BoodleBox, you consent to the collection and use of this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

1.4 Contact Information

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact us at [email protected].

2. Service Requirements and Limitations

2.1 Service Requirements

To use BoodleBox, you will need a compatible device with internet access. You are responsible for acquiring and updating the device, software, operating system, carrier, and network access necessary to properly access and use BoodleBox. We do not guarantee that BoodleBox will function on any particular device, software, or network.

2.2 Service Limitations

BoodleBox is subject to limitations including, but not limited to, system capacity and constraints set by our third-party providers. While we aim to provide the best service possible, we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, or error-free. The Service might not be available due to reasons outside our reasonable control, such as “force majeure” (for example, labor actions, infrastructural breakdowns or blackouts).

2.3 Accuracy

The output generated by BoodleBox is dependent on various factors including the quality and relevance of the data inputs and the limitations of generative “artificial intelligence” and probabilistic machine learning.

Outputs generated by BoodleBox may also be dependent on third-party large language models, personalities (initializations), and external datasets. These third-party components have varying limitations that may result in varying degrees of accuracy in outputs generated using BoodleBox.

Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of BoodleBox may in some situations result in incorrect output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.  You should not assume the accuracy of any output and should evaluate the accuracy of any output as appropriate for your use case, including by using human review of the output.

3. User Account

3.1 Account Registration

To access and use BoodleBox, you may be required to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

3.2 Age Restrictions

You must be at least 18 years old to use BoodleBox.

3.3 User Responsibilities

As a user, you are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to disclose your account username or password (“Login Credentials”) to others and you should safeguard it to prevent unauthorized access to and/or use of your Login Credentials and/or Account (“Unauthorized Access”). If you believe your account has been compromised, you must immediately notify us.  You are solely responsible for managing and maintaining the security of your Login Credentials and any other forms of authentication, and you understand and acknowledge that we are not responsible (and you will not hold us responsible) for any Unauthorized Access.

3.4 Corporate use

If you use BoodleBox on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity, and that such entity accepts this agreement (“Agreement”).  You agree not to disclose your account password available to others outside your organization, and you are responsible for all activities that occur using your credentials.

3.5 Data Security

We have implemented and will maintain a written information security program, in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations (including any similar international laws). The program contains reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to safeguard the personal information that we receive, store, maintain, process, transmit or otherwise access (collectively, “uses”) in connection with the provision of Services. In this regard, we will establish and maintain policies, procedures, and technical, physical, and administrative safeguards, designed to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of all personal information and any other confidential information that we use, (ii) protect against any reasonably foreseeable threats or hazards to the security or integrity of your personal information or other confidential information, (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of personal information or other confidential information, (iv) maintain reasonable procedures to detect and respond to any internal or external security breaches, and (v) ensure appropriate disposal of personal information or other confidential information. We will monitor, test, and review our information security program and revise it, as necessary and in our sole discretion, to ensure it appropriately addresses any applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We will: (i) promptly notify you of any confirmed Unauthorized Access to your personal information or other confidential information (“Breach of Security”); (ii) promptly furnish you with appropriate details of such Breach of Security; (iii) use reasonable precautions to prevent a recurrence of a Breach of Security; and (iv) take reasonable and appropriate action to mitigate any potential harm related to a Breach of Security, including any reasonable steps that are practicable for us to implement.

Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall obligate us to provide you with information regarding any of our other customers or clients that are affected by a Breach of Security, nor shall the immediately preceding sentence limit our ability to take any actions that we believe are appropriate to remediate any Breach of Security unless such actions would prejudice or otherwise limit your ability to bring your own claims or actions against third parties related to the Breach of Security. If we discover or become aware of a suspected data or security breach that may involve an improper access, use, disclosure, or alteration of your personal information or other confidential information, we shall, except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law or directed otherwise by a governmental authority not to do so, promptly notify you that we are investigating a potential breach and keep you informed as reasonably practicable of material developments relating to the investigation until we either confirm that such a breach has occurred (in which case the first sentence of this paragraph will apply) or confirm that no data or security breach involving your personal information or other confidential information has occurred. For these purposes, “personal information” shall mean (i) an individual’s name (first initial and last name or first name and last name), address or telephone number plus (a) social security number, (b) driver’s license number, (c) state identification card number, (d) debit or credit card number, (e) financial account number, (f) passport number, or (g) personal identification number or password that would permit access to a person’s account or (ii) any combination of the foregoing that would allow a person to log onto or access an individual’s account. This provision will survive termination or expiration of the Agreement for so long as we continue to possess or have access to personal information related to a customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “personal information” shall not include information that is lawfully obtained from publicly available information, or from federal, state, or local government records lawfully made available to the general public.

3.6 FERPA Compliance 

BoodleBox is committed to complying with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99), a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. To the extent that boodleAI has access to student education records, it is deemed a “school official” under FERPA and will comply with the Act’s requirements regarding the use and redisclosure of personally identifiable information from education records. boodleAI will use education records only for the purpose of fulfilling its duties and providing services to the educational institution. It will not share such data with or disclose it to any third party except as provided for in the agreement with the educational institution, as required by law, or as authorized in writing by the educational institution or the student. boodleAI will provide appropriate training to its employees regarding their responsibilities under FERPA and will maintain appropriate safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of education records.

7. Paid Services

BoodleBox will enable access to certain premium features or content in exchange for one-time or recurring fees (each a “Paid Subscription”).

7.1 Available Models, Initializations, Datasets

Paid Subscriptions include a variety of large language models (“LLMs”), personalities (initializations), external datasets and other content provided by third parties (“Providers”) for purchase or subscription. The availability of these third-party products (“Third-Party Products”) and other components may vary and is subject to change without notice.

7.2 Third-Party Licenses and Terms of Service

Any Third-Party Product that you acquire is governed by the Terms of Service or End User License Agreement (“EULA”) of the Provider. The Provider of any Third-Party Product is solely responsible for its content, warranties, and claims that you may have related to the Third-Party Product, subject to local law. You acknowledge and agree that boodleAI is a third-party beneficiary of the Terms of Service or EULA applicable to each Third-Party Product and may, therefore, enforce such agreement.

7.3 Subscriptions

Paid Subscriptions will automatically renew until cancelled. You will be notified if the price of a Paid Subscription increases and, if required, your consent will be required to continue. If we cannot charge your payment method for any reason (such as expiration or insufficient funds), and you have not cancelled the Paid Subscription, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts, and we will attempt to charge the payment method as you may update your payment method information. This may result in a change to the start of your next Paid Subscription period and may change the date on which you are billed for each period. We reserve the right to cancel your Paid Subscription if we are unable to successfully charge your payment method to renew your subscription. Certain Paid Subscriptions may offer a free trial prior to charging your payment method. If you decide to unsubscribe from a Paid Subscription before we start charging your payment method, cancel the subscription at least 48 hours before the end of your current billing period or free trial.

7.4 Payment Terms

When you purchase or subscribe to any component within BoodleBox, you agree to the prices, payment terms, taxes, and fees applicable to that transaction. Prices may vary based on the terms, amounts, and timing of your purchase or subscription. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law.

(a) Fees and Billing

You will pay all fees charged to your account (“Fees”) according to the prices and terms on the applicable pricing page, or as otherwise agreed between us in writing. We have the right to correct pricing errors or mistakes even if we have already issued an invoice or received payment. You will provide complete and accurate billing information, including a valid and authorized payment method. We will charge your payment method on an agreed-upon periodic basis but may reasonably change the date on which the charge is posted. You authorize boodleAI and its affiliates, and our third-party payment processor(s), to charge your payment method for the Fees. If your payment cannot be completed, we will provide you with written notice and may suspend access to the Service until payment is received. Fees are payable in U.S. dollars and are due upon invoice issuance. Payments are nonrefundable except as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Taxes

Unless otherwise stated, Fees do not include federal, state, local, and foreign taxes, duties, and other similar assessments (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all Taxes associated with your purchase, excluding Taxes based on our net income, and we may invoice you for such Taxes. You agree to timely pay such Taxes and provide us with documentation showing the payment, or additional evidence that we may reasonably require. boodleAI uses the name and address in your account registration as the place of supply for tax purposes, so you must keep this information accurate and up to date.

(c) Price Changes

We may change our prices by posting notice to your account and/or to our website. Price increases will be effective no sooner than 14 days after they are posted, except for increases made for legal reasons, which will be effective immediately. Price changes for Paid Subscriptions will take effect upon the effective date of any renewal of such subscription.  Any price changes will apply to the Fees charged to your account immediately after the effective date of the changes.

(d) Disputes and Late Payments

If you want to dispute any Fees or Taxes, please contact [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the date of the disputed invoice. Undisputed amounts past due may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% of the unpaid balance per month, to the extent permitted by law. If any amount of your Fees is past due, we may suspend your access to the Service after we provide you written notice of late payment.

7.5 Cancellations and Refunds

You may cancel this subscription at any time. Such cancellation must be made through the subscriber’s account management page or by contacting [email protected]. Cancellation requests must be received at least 48 hours before the next billing cycle to avoid being charged for the next Renewal Term. Upon cancellation, the subscriber will continue to have access to the service through the end of the current billing cycle.  There will be no refunds or prorated refunds for an already started billing cycle.

Unless otherwise specified in these terms or in a form both parties agree to, all purchases and subscriptions are final and non-refundable. If you believe that boodleAI has charged you in error, you must contact us within thirty (30) days of such charge. We reserve the right to refuse a refund request if it does not comply with these Terms.

8. Termination

8.1 Voluntary Termination

You may stop using BoodleBox at any time and for any reason by closing your account or discontinuing your use of BoodleBox.

8.2 Termination by boodleAI

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or cease providing you with all or part of the Service at any time for any or no reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us, including risk to the security, integrity or availability of any part of the Service; (iii) your account should be removed due to unlawful conduct, (iv) your account should be removed due to prolonged inactivity; or (v) our provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.

We recommend that you regularly back up your content and data that you store on the Service. boodleAI is not responsible for the loss of such data, information, or content due to termination of the Service.

For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms survive the deactivation or termination of your account.

8.4 Right to Appeal Termination

If you believe your account was terminated in error, you can file an appeal by submitting a request to [email protected] or by mailing a request to Legal Notices at the address indicated herein.  All appeals of termination must be made within 30 days of such termination.

Each party to these Terms of Use submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts located in Fairfax County Virginia or the federal courts having jurisdiction over Fairfax County, Virginia, and waives any jurisdictional, venue, or forum non conveniens objections to such courts with respect to any claim, dispute, action, or proceeding arising or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms of Service.

If you are a federal, state, or local government entity in the United States using the Service in your official capacity and legally unable to accept the controlling law, jurisdiction or venue clauses above, then those clauses do not apply to you. For such U.S. federal government entities, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United States of America (without reference to conflict of laws) and, in the absence of federal law and to the extent permitted under federal law, the laws of the State of Virginia (excluding choice of law).

Exception for European Consumers

However, regardless of the above, if you qualify as a European Consumer and your habitual residence is in a country where the law provides for a higher consumer protection standard, then such higher standards shall prevail.

16. Limitation on Legal Action

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN). OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
