Terms of Service

1. Eligibility and Authority

You may use the Services only if you are legally able to enter into a binding contract on behalf of yourself or the entity you represent. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. The Services

ClearVerse provides an AI-powered platform that analyzes audio, media, and related content for potential copyright risk and generates risk scores, insights, and related outputs based on automated systems, model inference, and precedent-informed analysis.

The Services are intended to support internal review and decision-making. The Services do not determine legal rights, do not adjudicate infringement, and do not control how third parties, including platforms such as YouTube, apply their own policies or enforcement decisions.

The Services are not intended to be the sole basis for any legal, publishing, or business decision.

3. No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship

ClearVerse is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The Services, including any risk scores, explanations, summaries, recommendations, flags, reports, or references to legal principles, are provided for informational and operational purposes only.

Your use of the Services does not create an attorney-client relationship, fiduciary relationship, or other professional advisory relationship between you and ClearVerse.

You are solely responsible for obtaining legal advice from qualified counsel regarding your specific facts, content, rights, obligations, disputes, enforcement exposure, or compliance strategy.

4. AI and Output Disclaimers

The Services rely in part on artificial intelligence, machine learning, automated classification, probabilistic models, and other non-deterministic systems. As a result:

• outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, inconsistent, or unavailable;
• similar inputs may produce different outputs at different times;
• risk scores and related assessments are probabilistic estimates, not guarantees or factual determinations;
• references to legal precedent or enforcement patterns may be incomplete, evolving, or context-dependent;
• the Services may fail to identify relevant claims, risks, defenses, rights, or exceptions.

You acknowledge that ClearVerse does not warrant that any output is correct, complete, current, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose, or sufficient for legal, publishing, platform, monetization, or business decisions.

Outputs should not be relied upon as a substitute for independent legal review or professional judgment.

5. No Guarantee of Clearance or Enforcement Outcome

Use of the Services does not guarantee that any content:

• is non-infringing;
• is lawfully usable;
• qualifies for fair use or any other defense;
• is free from claims, takedowns, blocks, disputes, or copyright enforcement;
• will be approved, distributed, monetized, or left untouched by any platform, rights holder, claimant, or distributor.

ClearVerse does not guarantee that content analyzed through the Services will avoid copyright claims, demonetization, suppression, removal, account penalties, loss of reach, revenue loss, or other platform or commercial consequences.

6. Accounts and Access

You may be required to create an account to access some or all features of the Services. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account credentials secure.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for any use of the Services by your employees, contractors, agents, or other authorized users.

You must promptly notify us if you believe your account has been compromised or used without authorization.

7. User Content and Responsibility for Uploads

The Services may allow you to upload audio files, media files, metadata, text, prompts, and other materials (“User Content”).

You retain ownership of your User Content, subject to the rights you grant to ClearVerse in these Terms.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for the consequences of uploading, submitting, storing, analyzing, transmitting, or using it through the Services.

ClearVerse does not verify ownership of User Content and does not assume responsibility for validating rights.

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or control all rights necessary to upload and use the User Content with the Services;
• your User Content and your use of the Services do not violate any law, contract, license, confidentiality obligation, privacy right, publicity right, or intellectual property right;
• you have obtained all permissions, releases, notices, and consents required for your User Content and your intended use of the Services.

8. License to ClearVerse

You grant ClearVerse a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, process, analyze, adapt, and otherwise use User Content as necessary to:

• provide, operate, and maintain the Services;
• generate outputs and reports you request;
• troubleshoot, secure, and improve the Services;
• comply with law and enforce these Terms.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

9. ClearVerse Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, models, workflows, interfaces, documentation, visual design, branding, text, graphics, reports templates, platform features, and all related intellectual property rights, are and remain the property of ClearVerse and its licensors.

Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, no rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, derive source code from, scrape, or create derivative works of the Services, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

ClearVerse may use any feedback, suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, recommendations, or other input you provide without restriction, attribution, compensation, approval, or obligation to you of any kind.

10. Acceptable Use Restrictions

You may not use the Services to:

• violate any law or regulation;
• infringe, misappropriate, or violate the rights of any person or entity;
• upload content you do not have rights to use;
• submit malicious code, malware, or harmful data;
• interfere with or disrupt the Services or related systems;
• access or attempt to access accounts, data, or systems without authorization;
• probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities except with our prior written consent;
• use automated means to extract data, outputs, or underlying model behavior except as expressly permitted;
• use the Services to build or benchmark a competing product without our written permission;
• misrepresent outputs as legal advice, legal opinions, or guaranteed clearance determinations;
• use the Services in a way that could create liability for ClearVerse or its providers;
• use the Services in violation of applicable export control, sanctions, or trade laws.

We may investigate suspected misuse and cooperate with law enforcement or third parties as permitted or required by law.

11. Communications

You agree that ClearVerse may send you service-related communications, including by email and, where applicable, SMS for service-related and operational purposes, regarding account activity, security events, system notifications, administrative matters, and operational updates.

If you opt in to receive SMS messages, message frequency may vary and message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of SMS messages by replying STOP. You may reply HELP for assistance.

You are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information and for any charges imposed by your communications provider.

12. Third-Party Services

The Services may rely on third-party providers, including cloud infrastructure, communications providers, and AI or model providers. ClearVerse is not responsible for third-party services, acts, omissions, outages, policies, or decisions, including those of rights holders, content platforms, distributors, or model providers.

ClearVerse does not control and is not responsible for decisions made by third-party platforms, rights holders, or enforcement systems.

13. Service Changes; Availability

ClearVerse may add, modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, with or without notice.

The Services are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, uptime, performance, security, retention, compatibility, or error-free operation.

We may impose usage limits, technical restrictions, or feature limitations at our discretion.

14. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe:

• you have violated these Terms;
• your use creates legal, security, or operational risk;
• suspension is necessary to protect the Services, users, ClearVerse, or third parties;
• we are required to do so by law or by a provider relationship.

You may stop using the Services at any time.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute-related terms, and general provisions.

15. Disclaimers of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services and all outputs are provided “as is,” “as available,” and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

ClearVerse disclaims all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, availability, security, quiet enjoyment, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.

Without limiting the foregoing, ClearVerse does not warrant that the Services or outputs will:

• be accurate, complete, current, or error-free;
• identify all relevant copyright risks or claims;
• prevent copyright claims, takedowns, demonetization, or other platform enforcement;
• meet your business, legal, or operational expectations;
• be compatible with any particular platform, distributor, or workflow.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ClearVerse and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, business opportunity, reputation, audience reach, platform access, or monetization, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms.

Without limiting the foregoing, ClearVerse will not be liable for damages arising from or relating to:

• copyright claims, infringement allegations, or rights disputes;
• takedowns, blocks, strikes, demonetization, content removal, or platform enforcement;
• decisions you make based on outputs;
• errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in outputs;
• unauthorized access, loss, or alteration of user content;
• service interruptions, outages, or discontinuation.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ClearVerse’s total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you to the extent prohibited by law.

17. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ClearVerse and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, judgments, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to:

• your User Content;
• your use of the Services;
• your violation of these Terms;
• your violation of any law or regulation;
• your infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any third-party right;
• disputes between you and any rights holder, claimant, platform, distributor, or other third party.

ClearVerse may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with that defense.

18. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

19. Venue and Jurisdiction

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, State of Delaware, and each party irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue of those courts.

20. Equitable Relief

You acknowledge that misuse of the Services, unauthorized access, infringement, reverse engineering, scraping, misappropriation of intellectual property, or other violation of ClearVerse’s rights may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be inadequate. Accordingly, ClearVerse may seek injunctive, equitable, or other immediate relief, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, without the need to post bond where permitted by law.

21. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be effective when posted, unless otherwise stated.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

22. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other right.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and ClearVerse regarding the Services and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings relating to the Services.
