Inkstone Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Inkstone, an AI-assisted writing service offered in beta by Kentauros AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kentauros,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using Inkstone, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1.3. Eligibility and accounts

1.1 The Service (Beta)

‍Inkstone (the “Service”) provides AI-assisted writing features that generate text and other content in response to user-provided prompts or materials. The Service is offered as an early-release beta product. Because the Service is in beta, it may change, break, be discontinued, experience downtime, or cause data loss.

1.2 Definitions

1.2 Defintions

• “Input”: text, prompts, documents, instructions, or other materials you submit to the Service.
• “Output”: content generated by the Service in response to Input.
• “Saved Content”: Input and/or Output you choose to save or store within the Service (if available).
• “Your Content”: your Input and Saved Content.

1.3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 (or the age of legal majority where you live, if higher) and able to form a binding contract. You agree to provide accurate registration information, keep credentials secure, and are responsible for all activity under your account.

1.4 Work use and authority

If you use the Service for work or submit third-party materials, you represent and warrant you have the rights and authority to do so, and that your use does not violate any confidentiality, security, or data-handling obligations.

1.5 Fees and billing (paid beta)

The Service may require payment as described at checkout or on our website. You authorize us (and our payment processor) to charge your payment method for recurring fees and applicable taxes. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or as explicitly stated by us in writing. We may suspend or downgrade access for failed payments, suspected fraud, chargebacks, or abuse.

1.6 Your Content and Output – ownership

As between you and us, you retain ownership of Your Content. To the extent we acquire any rights in Output as a result of providing the Service, we assign those rights to you to the maximum extent permitted by law. Non-uniqueness: Output may not be unique; similar or identical outputs may be generated for others. You do not obtain rights in others’ content.

1.7 License to operate the Service

You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, and process Your Content solely to: provide the Service; maintain and secure it; prevent fraud/abuse; comply with law; and enforce these Terms.

1.8 Service ownership and restrictions

The Service, including all software, models, interfaces, and intellectual property, is owned by Kentauros and its licensors. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

• Reverse engineer or attempt to discover underlying components (except where prohibited by law);
• Bypass security, rate limits, or access controls;
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data or Output without written permission;
• Resell, sublicense, or provide the Service as a service bureau;
• Use the Service to develop or improve competing products through systematic extraction or bulk/automated use.

1.9 Third-party services and AI providers

The Service uses third-party providers (including AI model providers and infrastructure vendors). You authorize us to transmit Input and relevant context to such providers to generate Output and operate the Service. Third-party services are provided “as is” under their own terms; we do not control their availability.

1.10 Privacy

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict regarding personal data, the Privacy Policy controls.

2) Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service lawfully and responsibly. You will not, and will not attempt to:

• Violate any law or regulation;
• Infringe, misappropriate, or violate others’ rights (including IP, privacy, publicity, or confidentiality);
• Generate, distribute, or promote unlawful, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, or violence-inciting content;
• Facilitate fraud, scams, phishing, social engineering, or harmful deception (including impersonation);
• Introduce malware, attempt unauthorized access, disrupt the Service, or probe security;
• Bypass filters, safety systems, or access controls;
• Use the Service for bulk harvesting of Output, dataset creation from Output, or systematic extraction intended to compete with or harm the Service.

2.1 No sensitive or regulated data

The Service is not designed for highly sensitive or regulated data. You must not submit:

• Protected health information regulated by HIPAA (or equivalent);
• Payment card numbers, bank credentials, or account passwords (other than payment details submitted to our processor for billing);

• Information you are contractually required to keep out of third-party processing.

2.2 Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations and take action, including removing content, limiting features, throttling requests, suspending, or terminating accounts. We may act without notice where we reasonably believe notice would compromise security, enable circumvention, cause harm, or be prohibited by law.

3) AI limitations & disclaimers

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy. If there is a conflict regarding personal data, the Privacy Policy controls.

3.1 Output may be wrong

The Service may produce Output that is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, biased, or inappropriate. You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and exercising judgment before using, publishing, or relying on Output.

3.2 No professional advice

The Service is not a legal, medical, financial, or other professional service. Output is not professional advice.

3.3 High-stakes reliance is prohibited without verification

You must not use Output as the sole basis for decisions that materially affect legal rights, safety, livelihood, credit, housing, employment, medical care, or other high-stakes outcomes without appropriate human and professional review.

4.1 Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant uninterrupted, secure, or error-free operation, or that Output will be accurate or reliable.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE KENTAUROS PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

4.3 Liability cap

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) $100 USD.

4.4 Exceptions

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, certain consumer protections, or liability for fraud or intentional misconduct where non-waivable).

4.5 Third-party beneficiaries

Our suppliers and third-party providers are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.

5) Account termination

5.1 Your termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may close your account where functionality exists.

5.2 Our termination/suspension

We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we believe: (i) you violated these Terms or the Usage Policy; (ii) your use poses a security, legal, or safety risk; (iii) we must comply with law or enforce policies; or (iv) your use threatens the integrity or availability of the Service.

5.3 Effect of termination; data

Upon termination or closure, access may end immediately. We are not obligated to retain Your Content. We may provide reasonable opportunities to export Saved Content, but export is not guaranteed and may be limited by security, technical feasibility, or legal requirements. We may delete or de-identify data consistent with our Privacy Policy and legal obligations.
