Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully because they govern your use of our AI agent-powered autonomous personal assistant (the “Ampersand”) that you access through our application programming interface (the “API”), and our other online or offline offerings that link to, or are otherwise subject to, these Terms (collectively, the “Services”). These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and humans& ai, inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION FOR U.S. CUSTOMERS: IF YOU ARE ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES AS AN INDIVIDUAL (NOT ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY), WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 18 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING ARBITRATION.
1. Agreement to Terms. By accessing or using the Services, you are agreeing to these Terms. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, do not apply for access to or use the Services.
2. Privacy Notice. Please review our Privacy Notice ([URL]) for information on how we collect, use and share your information when you use the Services.
3. Changes to these Terms or the Services. We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms to the Services and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of the Terms. If we make material changes, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (such as by emailing you at the last email address you provided us). It is important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
4. Who May Use the Services?
(a) Eligibility. We reserve the right to determine eligibility to use the Services in our sole discretion. At a minimum, you may use the Services only if you are 18 years or older if you are an individual or duly organized and validly existing under the laws of your jurisdiction of formation if you are an entity, and, in each case, capable of forming a binding contract with us and not otherwise barred from using the Services under applicable law.
(b) Compliance. We reserve the right to verify your ongoing eligibility at any time and to request additional information to confirm your ongoing eligibility. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services if you fail to meet these eligibility requirements.
5. Rights to use the Services.
(a) Access and Use. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a nonexclusive right to access and use the Services. If any software, content or other materials owned or controlled by us are distributed to you as part of your use of the Services, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable right and license to access and display such materials solely to enable your permitted use of the Services. We reserve all rights in and to the Services not expressly granted to you in this Section. In the API access context, you must obtain credentials (an “API Key”) from us through the registration process to access the Services. You are solely responsible for all usage associated with your API Key, regardless of whether you have knowledge of such usage. You may access Ampersand via API only with the API Key we provide to you. You are solely responsible for all usage associated with your API Key for the Services, regardless of whether you have knowledge of such usage. You agree to keep your API Key confidential and not share, or permit others to use, your API Key. You must notify us at support@humansand.ai if you know or have reason to suspect that your API Key has been compromised.
(b) Limitations. We may set and enforce limits on your use of the Services, including but not limited to the number of API calls that you may make, the rate at which you access information, or the frequency, duration, in our sole discretion and without notice to you. For example, we may limit your API calls or Services usage in the interest of service stability. We may change such usage limits at any time, and/or may utilize technical measures to prevent over-usage. If you exceed the limits, we may moderate your activity or cease offering you access to the Services altogether in our sole discretion.
(c) Usage Information. The Services may generate diagnostic, technical or other Usage Information relating to how you interact with the Services (“Usage Information”). We may use or disclose Usage Information in de-identified or aggregated forms for any lawful purpose, including to provide, operate, develop, and improve our technologies, products and services.
6. Feedback. We appreciate feedback, comments, ideas, proposals and suggestions for improvements to the Services (“Feedback”). If you choose to submit Feedback, you agree that we are free to use it without any restriction or compensation to you.
7. Fees.
(a) Credits. The Services are paid services. You may prepay for the Services by purchasing credits (“Prepaid Credits”). Visit [INSERT URL] for current pricing, which we may update from time to time. Prepaid Credits may only be used for the Services to which they apply until exhausted or expired. Prepaid Credits are drawn down based on your consumption of Services measured by our metering systems. When you purchase Prepaid Credits, you agree to pay the stated price, including taxes, and authorize us to charge your payment method for that amount. Fees must be paid in U.S. dollars. Fees for the Services are final and non-refundable except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by law. Prepaid Credits are not transferable, redeemable, giftable, or exchangeable for monetary value (except where required by law), do not substitute for fiat currency, have no equivalent value in fiat currency, and do not constitute or confer upon you any personal property right in them. Any purported transfers of Prepaid Credits will be void. Unused Prepaid Credits expire one (1) year after the date of purchase or issuance (whichever is earlier), unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase or issuance. We have no obligation to notify you prior to expiration. Upon termination, your unused Prepaid Credits will be forfeited without refund, except where required by applicable law.
(b) Payment Information. You agree that all payment information you provide is accurate, current and complete and that you have the legal right to use the payment method you provide to us or our payment processor, including, without limitation, any credit card you provide when completing a transaction.
(c) Payment Processor. We use a third-party payment processor to process payments for Prepaid Credits, and the processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms. Currently, our payment processor is Stripe, and you can access Stripe’s Terms of Service at https://stripe.com/us/checkout/legal and their Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/us/privacy. We are not responsible for any errors or omissions by the payment processor.
(d) Pricing Changes. We reserve the right to change prices for the Services displayed at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur (and to cancel any orders in our sole discretion that were purchased with pricing errors). All such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting of such new prices to the Services and/or upon making you aware of the pricing error.
(e) Promotional Offers. We may offer certain promotional codes, referral codes, discount codes, coupon codes, or similar offers (“Promotional Offers”) that may provide you with free or discounted credits for our Services, subject to any additional terms that we establish. You agree that Promotional Offers: (a) must be used in a lawful manner; (b) must be used for the intended audience and purpose; (c) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available by you to the general public (whether posted to a public forum, coupon collecting service, or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by us; (d) may be disabled or have additional conditions applied to them by us at any time for any reason without liability to us; (e) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that we establish for such Promotional Offer; (f) are not valid for cash or other credits or points; and (g) may expire prior to your use.

(b) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING FROM ALL CLAIMS UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (I) AMOUNTS (IF ANY) ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU OR ARE PAYABLE BY YOU TO US FOR USE OF THE SERVICES, OR (II) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS $100.00.
(c) THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US.
17. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 18 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that are not required to be arbitrated will be the state and federal courts located in the San Francisco County, California and you and we each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
18. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and we agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
(b) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 18(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
(d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we will pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and will not seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 18(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 18(f) of these Terms, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
(h) Dispute Resolution for Companies. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, the following dispute resolution terms apply to you and not Section 18(a)-(g). As noted above, these Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions, and the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes will be the state and federal courts located in the San Francisco County, California and you and we each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
