Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using any products, services, platforms, applications, tools, APIs, models, outputs, or any other offerings (collectively, “Services”) provided by the ETHOS (“ETHOS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately discontinue all use of our Services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ETHOS. Your continued use of any Services after any modification to these Terms shall constitute your acceptance of such modifications.

2. Description of Services

ETHOS provides artificial intelligence and deep learning-based products and services related to body language analysis, nonverbal communication research, behavioral signal processing, and related computational disciplines. Our Services leverage advanced machine learning models, neural network architectures, and proprietary algorithms to analyze, interpret, and generate insights related to nonverbal human behavior.

3. Experimental Nature of Services

YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ALL SERVICES PROVIDED BY ETHOS ARE EXPERIMENTAL, RESEARCH-GRADE, AND INHERENTLY UNSTABLE IN NATURE.

Our Services are built upon artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies that are, by their fundamental nature, probabilistic, non-deterministic, and subject to error, hallucination, misclassification, and unpredictable behavior. Outputs generated by our Services may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, inconsistent, or otherwise unreliable. No output from any ETHOS Service should be treated as definitive, diagnostic, therapeutic, legal, or professional advice of any kind.

Our Services are the product of ongoing, continuous research and development conducted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As such, all Services, models, features, functionalities, interfaces, APIs, and outputs are subject to constant modification, update, recalibration, deprecation, or removal at any time, without prior notice, as part of our normal research and development cycle. You acknowledge that the version of any Service you use today may behave materially differently from the version available tomorrow.

4. No Reliance; Assumption of Risk

You shall not rely upon any output, result, analysis, classification, prediction, interpretation, or other information generated by our Services for any purpose that could result in harm, loss, damage, or adverse consequences to yourself or any third party. This includes, without limitation, medical, psychological, legal, financial, employment, security, law enforcement, or any other consequential decision-making.

BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH USE. You acknowledge that you are using experimental AI-based technology at your own risk and that you have been fully informed of the inherent unpredictability and instability of such technology.

5. Waiver of Claims

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE ETHOS, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES), AND LIABILITIES OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO:

• Your use of, access to, or inability to use any Services;
• Any inaccuracy, error, omission, or defect in any output or result generated by our Services;
• Any modification, update, interruption, suspension, or discontinuation of any Services;
• Any decision or action taken by you or any third party based on outputs from our Services;
• Any data processing, analysis, or handling conducted by our Services;
• Any unauthorized access to, alteration of, or loss of your data or transmissions;
• Any conduct, content, or behavior of any third party in connection with our Services;
• Any other matter relating to our Services, regardless of the theory of liability.

IN NO EVENT SHALL ETHOS'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF ANY SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO ETHOS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ETHOS and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of any Services; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (d) any content, data, or information you provide to or through our Services; or (e) any decision or action taken based on outputs from our Services.

This may include, without limitation, automated processing by machine learning models, statistical analysis, pattern recognition, behavioral classification, and other forms of computational analysis.

As of the last update of these Terms, data submitted to our Services is not permanently stored beyond the processing session. However, we reserve the right to modify our data retention practices at any time. Any changes to data retention or storage practices will be reflected in an updated version of our Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our Services following any such update constitutes your acceptance of the revised practices.

The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision.
