SplitSec AI — Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

1.1 Pre-Release Definition

By downloading, installing, or using SplitSec.AI (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("ToS"). If you do not agree, do not use the App. If you are 13–17, you represent that you have reviewed these terms with a parent/guardian and obtained their consent where required. Users under 13 are not permitted to use the App.

For clarity, "Pre-Release" means any test or early-access version of the App (including alpha, beta—whether limited or public—preview, or early-access builds) that is not the generally available paid release.

1.2 Closed Testing Addendum (Private/Closed Pre-Release)

"Closed Testing" means any limited-access distribution of the App, including Google Play Closed or Internal testing tracks, Apple TestFlight (internal or external), invite-only builds, unlisted store pages, or builds labeled "Closed Testing," "Private Beta," or similar. By enrolling in or installing a Closed Testing build, you agree to the following additional terms (which apply only while you use a Closed Testing build):

• Purpose. The build is for testing only and may be unstable; features can change or break and data loss is possible.
• Confidentiality. You will not publicly disclose, post, or demo non-public features, screenshots, or performance details without our written permission. Provide feedback through our designated channels (e.g., in-app feedback, TestFlight/Play feedback, or support@splitsec.ai).
• Diagnostics. We may enable enhanced diagnostics/crash logs to improve stability.
• No compensation; no warranties. Your participation is voluntary and unpaid. The build is provided "as is."
• Revocation. Access can be suspended or revoked at any time.
• Precedence. If this §1.2 conflicts with other provisions, §1.2 controls for Closed Testing builds. These confidentiality obligations survive termination of your Closed Testing access. We may seek injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach of §1.2.

2. License Grant

SplitSec AI LLC ("Company," "we," "us") grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the App solely for personal, non-commercial purposes on a device you own or control, in accordance with this ToS and any applicable app-store rules.

3. Safety Disclaimers

• The App is not a substitute for 911 or other emergency services.
• Detection outcomes are probabilistic and not guaranteed. Environmental factors, device hardware, OS settings, and connectivity may affect performance.
• You are solely responsible for your personal safety decisions and for complying with laws while using the App.

4. Eligibility & Accounts

• Under 13: Not permitted to use the App.
• Ages 13–17: Use only with parent/guardian consent where required; you may be asked to verify such consent.
• Adults 18+: You must have legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and any credentials.

5. Permissions & Third-Party Fees

• Microphone: Required to enable on-device acoustic analysis.
• Notifications: Required to alert you of potential threats.
• Location (optional): To include location in alerts you send to your chosen contacts (your "AlertCrew").
• Contacts (optional): To select and notify your AlertCrew when you enable that feature.
• Carrier/SMS/data charges may apply for notifications, calls, SMS, or data transmission initiated by you or your settings.

6. Acceptable Use

• Do not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise access source code except to the extent permitted by law.
• Do not misuse the App (e.g., false alarms, harassment, unlawful surveillance).
• Do not infringe others' rights or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
• Do not use the App in life-critical or mission-critical scenarios where failure could lead to death or serious injury.
• See also §1.2 (Closed Testing Addendum).

7. Intellectual Property

The App and all related content, trademarks, and technology are owned by the Company and are protected by intellectual property laws. No rights are granted except as expressly stated in this ToS.

8. Feedback

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and exploit such feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

9. Updates; Changes to the App

We may provide updates or modify/discontinue features. You agree that we may update the App automatically. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the modified App.

10. Termination

This ToS is effective until terminated. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach this ToS or if required by law. You may terminate by removing the App. Certain sections (e.g., Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability) survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT DETECTIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR TIMELY.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR SECURITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID (IF ANY) FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; YOUR RIGHTS MAY VARY.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your use of the App or violation of this ToS.

14. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

• Governing Law: Illinois, USA (without regard to conflict-of-laws rules).
• Venue: Exclusive in state or federal courts located in Lake County, Illinois, unless arbitration applies.
• Arbitration & Class Waiver (if permitted): Any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration; no class actions or consolidated proceedings. (If unenforceable in your jurisdiction, venue is as stated above.)

15. Export & Sanctions Compliance

You may not use or export the App in violation of U.S. export control and sanctions laws or other applicable laws.

16. App Store Terms

If you obtained the App from Apple App Store or Google Play, their terms also apply. Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of this ToS for certain provisions.

17. Changes to this ToS

We may modify this ToS. Material changes will be notified in-app or by email (if available). Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

Severability; Entire Agreement. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms (together with any policies or documents expressly incorporated by reference, including our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and SplitSec AI regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations, and communications, whether oral or written.
