Terms of Service

1These terms

These terms form an agreement between you and Accolade Imaging Incorporation, a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada ("we", "us"), governing your use of aBuck at abuck.app. By creating an account you accept them.

Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice are part of this agreement.

2Eligibility and your account

You must be at least 18 to use the service. You need an account, and access is currently granted by invitation or by taking out a subscription.

Keep your credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it. Provide accurate information and keep it current — in particular your email address, which is how we reach you about your account.

One person or organization per account. Do not share an account with people outside your organization.

3Subscription, billing and cancellation

Current prices and billing periods are on the pricing page. Payment is handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card details. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.

You can cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund the unused remainder of a period except where the law requires it. We may then restrict or suspend access to the service.

If a payment fails we may suspend access until it succeeds. If we change our prices we will give you notice before the change applies to your next renewal, and you are free to cancel instead.

If you are a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw within 14 days of subscribing. If you ask us to begin providing the service immediately during that period, we may charge you in proportion to what you used before withdrawing. Nothing in this section limits the non-waivable rights you have under the consumer protection legislation of your province or country.

4Your own provider keys

aBuck does not resell AI compute. You connect your own account with an AI provider, and generation runs on your key at that provider's list price with no markup from us.

That means your relationship with the provider is direct: their terms govern it, their charges are yours to pay, and their limits, outages and content policies apply to you. We are not a party to that agreement and cannot refund, credit or dispute what they bill you.

You are responsible for the spending you authorise. Set limits with your provider if you want a ceiling. Keep your key confidential and revoke it at the provider if you believe it has been compromised.

5Your content and your outputs

You keep ownership of what you upload and, as between you and us, of what you generate. We claim no ownership of your prompts, canvases, uploads or outputs.

You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, transmit and display your content, and to send it to the AI provider you selected, solely so that we can operate the service for you. That licence exists to run the product and nothing else: it does not permit us to train models on your content, to publish it, or to make any commercial use of it, and it ends when you delete the content or your account.

You are responsible for having the rights to what you upload. Do not upload material you have no permission to use.

Be aware that AI models can produce similar outputs for different users, that outputs may be inaccurate, and that copyright in AI-generated material is unsettled in most countries. We make no promise that any output is original, protectable, or safe to use commercially — that assessment is yours.

6Acceptable use

You must not use the service to create or distribute:

• ·Child sexual abuse material, or any sexual content involving minors, in any form. We report this to the authorities.
• ·Intimate or sexual imagery of a real person made or shared without their consent.
• ·Content that impersonates a real person or organization deceptively, including synthetic depictions of real people in political contexts that are not clearly labelled as synthetic.
• ·Content that infringes someone else's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights.
• ·Material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or that incites violence.
• ·Malware, phishing content, or anything designed to defraud.

7How you must not use the service

• ·Do not attempt to breach or circumvent our security, rate limits or access controls, or probe our infrastructure without written permission.
• ·Do not scrape, resell or rebrand the service, or use it to build a competing product.
• ·Do not use automation to place load on the service beyond normal interactive use.
• ·Do not attempt to extract other users' content, keys or personal information.
• ·Do not use the service in a way that breaks the terms of the AI provider you connected, or the law that applies to you.

8Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the service infringes your copyright, write to support@abuck.app identifying the work, the material in question and your contact details, with a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorised and that your notice is accurate. We will review it and remove infringing material where appropriate. We handle notices consistently with Canada's notice-and-notice regime and, where it applies, the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

9Availability and changes to the service

aBuck is an early-stage product under active development. Features may change, be added or be removed, and we may take the service down for maintenance. We do not offer a service level guarantee.

The service depends on third parties — our hosting provider, the payment processor, and the AI providers you connect. Their outages will affect you, and are outside our control.

We will give you reasonable notice before discontinuing the service or making a change that substantially reduces its core functionality, so that you can export your work.

10Suspension and termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, if your payment fails, if your use threatens the security or stability of the service, or if we are required to by law. Where circumstances allow we will tell you why and give you a chance to put it right first. For serious breaches — the prohibited content listed above in particular — suspension may be immediate.

On termination your right to use the service ends. We will delete your content in accordance with the retention periods in our Privacy Policy. Export anything you want to keep before you close your account.

11Disclaimers

The service is provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that outputs will be accurate, appropriate or fit for your purpose, or that your content cannot be lost. Keep your own copies of work that matters.

Some jurisdictions, including Quebec, do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, these exclusions do not apply to you and our liability is limited only to the extent permitted there.

12Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data or lost goodwill, however caused.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the greater of fifty Canadian dollars (CAD $50) or the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for fraud, for fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. It also does not apply to charges billed to you directly by an AI provider, which are governed by your agreement with that provider.

13Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from content you upload or generate, from your breach of these terms, or from your infringement of a third party's rights. We will notify you promptly of any such claim and let you control the defence, provided any settlement that imposes obligations on us has our consent.

14Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. For minor changes we will update this page and the effective date. For changes that materially affect your rights we will give you notice before they take effect, and continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept them. If you do not, cancel your subscription and stop using the service.

15Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict of laws rules. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction, and we each submit to their jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law gives you that right.

Talk to us first. Most disputes are resolved faster by email than by filing anything.

16General

If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest continues in force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign this agreement without our consent; we may assign it as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice, are the entire agreement between us about the service.
