Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services provided by Uplift AI, Inc. ("Uplift AI," "we," "our," or "us"), including Orator Studio, our APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our Services.

Uplift AI provides AI-powered voice and language technology services through Orator Studio. Current services include, but are not limited to:

• Text-to-Speech (TTS): Convert text into synthesized speech audio.
• Speech-to-Text (STT): Transcribe audio into text.
• Realtime Agents: AI-powered conversational agents with real-time voice capabilities.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. For material changes that affect your existing use, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via email or through the Services.

To use certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, complete information and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@upliftai.org if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement.

Some Services require a paid subscription. By subscribing, you agree to pay the applicable fees as described at the time of purchase. Fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis according to your chosen plan.

We reserve the right to change our pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following the notice period.

If payment fails, we will notify you and provide a reasonable grace period to resolve the issue before suspending access to paid features. If we terminate your account for reasons other than a violation of these Terms, you will receive a pro-rated refund for any prepaid, unused portion of your subscription.

The Services, including all software, designs, documentation, and content provided by Uplift AI, are owned by Uplift AI or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected. We do not warrant the accuracy of any output generated by the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Uplift AI shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from these Terms or the Services shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim or (b) one hundred United States dollars ($100).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Uplift AI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) your use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your infringement of any third party's rights, or (d) any content you submit to or generate through the Services.

You may terminate your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at support@upliftai.org.

We may suspend your access immediately if we reasonably believe you are violating these Terms or engaging in activity that may cause harm to us, other users, or third parties. For other terminations, we will provide reasonable notice where practicable.

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ceases immediately. You may request export of your data within 30 days of termination by contacting us. After this period, we may delete your account data, subject to our data retention obligations and Privacy Policy.

Sections 5 (Intellectual Property), 7 (User Representations), 8 (Acceptable Use), 9 (Content & Data), 12 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), and 16 (Governing Law & Dispute Resolution) survive termination of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Services shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation for a period of at least 30 days. If negotiation fails, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Delaware, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

You and Uplift AI agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be void.

Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.

You agree to comply with all applicable export control and trade sanctions laws. You may not access or use the Services if you are located in, or a national or resident of, any country subject to U.S. trade sanctions, or if you are on any U.S. government restricted parties list.

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, war, terrorism, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or pandemics.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via email or prominent notice in our Services. Your continued use of the Services after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree with the changes, you may terminate your account before the changes take effect.

• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Uplift AI regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.
• Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
• Notices: We may provide notices to you via email to the address associated with your account or through the Services. You may provide notices to us at support@upliftai.org.
