Terms of Use

June 1, 2023

Welcome to the Me4U Creator AI Service. Me4U Inc. ("Me4U”, "we”, "us”, or "our”) enables authentic 1:1 conversations between fans and the authorized Me4U AI of their favorite celebrity creators.

These Terms of Use apply when you use the services of Me4U, including our software, documentation, and websites ("Services”). The Terms include our Sharing and Publication Policy and Usage Policy, whose terms are deemed to be incorporated herein, and other documentation, guidelines, or policies we may provide in writing. Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Services or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and policies incorporated herein. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or such policies, you must not access or use the Website. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information.

1. Registration and Access; Responsibilities of Creators and Fans

  1. Access. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under 18 you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Services. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Services. You must provide accurate and complete information to register for an account. You may not make your access credentials or account available to others and you are responsible for all activities that occur using your credentials.
  2. Creator Responsibilities. Me4U contracts with third party creators ("Creators”) who help us build authentic and entertaining software models ("AIs”) that can interact with users in a way that emulates how the actual human Creator would behave. We only create AIs with the permission of a Creator and in collaboration with that person. Nevertheless, the AIs are merely software models and may not always create content that you believe the actual Creator would have produced. Creators are responsible for setting the boundaries for their AI through a Me4U Creator Dashboard, which can be changed at the Creator's discretion, and includes selecting both the Acceptable Use Rating and Emotional Attachment Level that will then govern the acceptable content within each Creator to Fan conversation.
  3. Fan Responsibilities. Users of a particular AI ("Fans”) are in turn responsible for selecting their own Acceptable Use Rating and Emotional Attachment Levels as well as adhering to the boundaries that the Creator specified as well as our Usage Policy. Please review our Usage Policy for further details.

2. Usage Requirements

You may not (i) use the Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates any person's rights; (ii) reverse assemble, reverse compile, decompile, translate or otherwise attempt to discover the source code or underlying components of models, algorithms, and systems of the Services (except to the extent such restrictions are contrary to applicable law); (iii) use output from the Services to develop models that compete with us; (iv) use any automated or programmatic method to extract data or output from the Services, including scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction; (v) represent that output from the Services was human-generated when it is not; (vi) use the Services for any commercial purpose; (viii), send us any personal information of children under 13 or the applicable age of digital consent; or (ix) use the Services in any way prohibited by the Usage Policy.

3. Content

  1. Your Content. You may provide input to the Services ("Input”), and receive output generated and returned by the Services based on the Input ("Output”). Input and Output are collectively "Content.” As between the parties and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own all Input. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Me4U hereby assigns to you all its right, title and interest in and to Output. Me4U may use Content to provide and maintain the Services, comply with applicable law, and enforce our policies. You are responsible for Content, including for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms.
  2. Similarity of Content. Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across users and the Services may generate the same or similar output for Me4U or a third party. Other users may ask similar questions and receive the same response. Responses that are requested by and generated for other users are not considered your Content.
  3. Use of Content to Improve Services. We may use Content from Services to help develop and improve our Services.
  4. Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may in some situations result in incorrect Output that does not accurately reflect real people or facts. By using the Services, you acknowledge this possibility.
  5. Availability. We reserve the right to withdraw or modify the Services in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Services is unavailable at any time or for any period.

4. Fees and Payments

  1. Fees and Billing. You will pay all fees (if any) 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.

We may terminate these Terms immediately upon notice to you if you materially breach Sections 2 (Usage Requirements), 5 (Security and Data Protection), 8 (Dispute Resolution) or 9 (General Terms), if there are changes in relationships with third party technology providers outside of our control, or to comply with law or government requests. We may suspend your access to the Services if you do not comply with these Terms, if your use poses a security risk to us or any third party, or if we suspect that your use is fraudulent or could subject us or any third party to liability.
  2. Effect on Termination. Upon termination, you will stop using the Services. The sections of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination or expiration should survive, including but not limited to Sections 3 and 5-9.

7. Indemnification; Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitations on Liability

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

8. Dispute Resolution

YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:

  1. MANDATORY ARBITRATION. You and Me4U agree to resolve any past or present claims relating to these Terms or our Services through final and binding arbitration, except that you have the right to opt out of these arbitration terms, and future changes to these arbitration terms, by filling out this form within 30 days of agreeing to these arbitration terms or the relevant changes.
  2. Informal Dispute Resolution. We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before filing a claim against Me4U, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending us notice at [email protected] of your name, a description of the dispute, and the relief you seek. If we are unable to resolve a dispute within 60 days, you may bring a formal proceeding. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during the 60-day resolution process.
  3. Arbitration Forum. Either party may commence binding arbitration through ADR Services, an alternative dispute resolution provider. The parties will pay its own share of the arbitration fees.
  4. Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, video conference, or in person in New York, New York or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator by ADR Services under its then-prevailing rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except a New York court has the authority to determine (i) the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Section 8, including the mass filing procedures below, and (ii) whether you have complied with the pre-arbitration requirements in this section. The amount of any settlement offer will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any.
  5. Exceptions. This arbitration section does not require arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement.
  6. NO CLASS ACTIONS. Disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
  7. Mass Filings. If, at any time, 30 or more similar demands for arbitration are asserted against Me4U or related parties by the same or coordinated counsel or entities ("Mass Filing”), ADR Services will randomly assign sequential numbers to each of the Mass Filings. Claims numbered 1-10 will be the "Initial Test Cases” and will proceed to arbitration first. The arbitrators will render a final award for the Initial Test Cases within 120 days of the initial pre-hearing conference, unless the claims are resolved in advance or the parties agree to extend the deadline. The parties will then have 90 days (the "Mediation Period”) to resolve the remaining cases in mediation based on the awards from the Initial Test Cases. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding claims during this time, the parties may choose to opt out of the arbitration process and proceed in court by providing written notice to the other party within 60 days after the Mediation Period. Otherwise, the remaining cases will be arbitrated in their assigned order. Any statute of limitations will be tolled from the time the Initial Test Cases are chosen until your case is chosen as described above.
  8. Severability. If any part of this Section 8 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow Mass Filing or class or representative arbitration, this Section 8 will be unenforceable in its entirety. Nothing in this section will be deemed to waive or otherwise limit the right to seek public injunctive relief or any other non-waivable right, pending a ruling on the substance of such claim from the arbitrator.

9. General Terms

  1. Relationship of the Parties. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture or agency relationship between you and Me4U. Me4U and you are independent contractors and neither party will have the power to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other's behalf without the other party's prior written consent.

  2. Use of Brands. You may not use Me4U's or any of its service providers', or partners' names, logos, or trademarks, without our prior written consent.

  3. Copyright Complaints. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please send notice to [email protected]. We may delete or disable content alleged to be infringing and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

    Written claims concerning copyright infringement must include the following information:

    • A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
    • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed upon;
    • A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the site;
    • Your address, telephone number, and e-mail address;
    • A statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
    • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

  4. Assignment and Delegation. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a change of control. Any purported assignment and delegation shall be null and void. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or to any affiliate or as part of a corporate reorganization.

  5. Modifications. We may amend these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on the website, or if an update materially adversely affects your rights or obligations under these Terms we will provide notice to you either by emailing the email associated with your account or providing an in-product notification. Those changes will become effective no sooner than 30 days after we notify you. All other changes will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Services after any change means you agree to such change.

  6. Notices. All notices will be in writing. We may notify you using the registration information you provided or the email address associated with your use of the Services. Service will be deemed given on the date of receipt if delivered by email or on the date sent via courier if delivered by post.

  7. Waiver and Severability. If you do not comply with these Terms, and Me4U does not take action right away, this does not mean Me4U is giving up any of our rights. Except as provided in Section 8, if any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that term will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and it will not affect the enforceability of any other terms.

  8. Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge that if you violate or breach these Terms, it may cause irreparable harm to Me4U and its affiliates, and Me4U shall have the right to seek injunctive relief against you in addition to any other legal remedies.

  9. Entire Agreement. These Terms and any policies incorporated in these Terms contain the entire agreement between you and Me4U regarding the use of the Services and, other than any Service specific terms of use or any applicable enterprise agreements, supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings between you and Me4U on that subject.

  10. Jurisdiction, Venue and Choice of Law. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, excluding New York's conflicts of law rules or principles. Except as provided in the "Dispute Resolution” section, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York, New York.
