2. Description of the Service
2.1 Service Overview
The Service is designed to enable you to generate a remix of a given song (the "Original") into the style of a different song (the "Style Target"), using artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. You may provide input to the Service by uploading audio files or by providing links to audio on supported third-party platforms (such as YouTube or SoundCloud), in which case the Service will download the audio in the background for processing through our model. You will not have direct access to any audio file downloaded from a third-party platform; such files are used solely as input to generate your remix Output. All audio provided to the Service, whether uploaded directly or sourced via link, together with any other data, information, text, or content you provide as inputs to the Service, are collectively referred to as "Submissions." The Service will generate and return audio output based on your Submissions ("Output," and together with the Submissions, "Content"). The Service may also include features that permit Content to be shared with other users.
2.2 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The Service includes and utilizes artificial intelligence ("AI") and machine learning ("ML") to generate Outputs. Outputs are generated by the Service based on your Submissions and the Service's underlying models and algorithms. Due to the nature of AI and ML, Outputs may not be unique to you, may be provided to or generated for others, and may not be eligible for copyright or other intellectual property protection under applicable law. You should evaluate the Service and Outputs carefully and use them at your own risk.
2.3 Third-Party Audio Sources
The Service may enable you to provide links to audio on third-party platforms, including YouTube and SoundCloud. When you provide such a link, the Service will download the audio in the background for use as input to our model. You will not have direct access to any audio file downloaded from a third-party platform. Your use of any audio sourced from third-party platforms is subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions of those third-party platforms. The Service does not grant you any rights to third-party content that you do not already possess. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to use any audio you provide to the Service via third-party links, and that such use complies with the applicable terms of service of those platforms and all applicable laws, including copyright law. We make no representations or warranties regarding the legality or permissibility of sourcing or using any content from third-party platforms through the Service.
3. Eligibility and Registration
3.1 Geographic Availability
The Service is currently available only to users located in the United States and its territories. You may not access or use the Service if you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any of those regions. If we expand availability to additional regions, we will update these Terms of Service to reflect the applicable requirements.
3.2 Minimum Age
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Service only with the express consent of your parent or guardian, and you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information as requested by the Company to confirm such express consent.
3.3 Registration
You may be required to register with Groove or provide information about yourself (e.g., name and email address) in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy.
3.4 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account details, if any, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session when accessing the Service. The Company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this paragraph.
3.5 Free Tier Accounts
We may, but are not obligated to, provide a free tier of the Service. You may not create more than one account to benefit from the free tier of the Service. If we believe you are not using the free tier in good faith, we may stop providing access to the Service.
4. Input Content Requirements
4.1 Ownership Requirement
It is very important that you only upload or otherwise provide Submissions that you have the rights to use as contemplated by this Agreement. By providing any Submission to the Service, including any Original or Style Target, you represent and warrant that:
- you own, or have obtained, all rights, licenses, consents, permissions, power and/or authority necessary to submit and use (and allow us to use) such Submission in connection with the Service, including for the purpose of generating your Output and including the right to create derivative works based on such Submission;
- your Submissions and the use thereof by the Service, including to generate Output, will not violate any law or any third party's rights, terms and conditions associated with such Submission; and
- no other licenses, permissions, consents or authorizations must be obtained from or payments made to any other person or entity by us (or any third party deriving any rights or obligations from us) arising out of or related to our use of your Submissions, including to create your Output and/or to train, develop, fine-tune or otherwise improve the Service and any related artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
4.2 Derivative Works Authorization
You acknowledge that the Service generates Outputs that constitute derivative works of your Submissions. By providing Submissions to the Service, you represent and warrant that you possess all rights necessary to authorize the creation of derivative works based on each Submission, including both the Original and the Style Target.
Ownership of a copy of a sound recording or musical composition (for example, purchasing a song on iTunes or Amazon Music), a license to stream or play a sound recording or musical composition (for example, a subscription to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or similar services), or any other limited-use license does not, by itself, constitute sufficient rights to provide such content as a Submission to the Service. Sufficient rights include, without limitation: being the original creator of the content; holding an explicit synchronization, remix, or derivative works license from the applicable rights holders (typically the music publisher for the composition and the record label for the sound recording); or using content that is in the public domain or licensed under a Creative Commons or similar open license that expressly permits the creation of derivative works (such as CC BY or CC BY-SA, but not CC BY-ND or CC BY-NC-ND).
4.3 Content Monitoring
We may, but are not obligated to, employ automated tools, including content identification or audio fingerprinting technologies, to identify copyrighted content uploaded to or processed through the Service. Such tools may not detect all copyrighted material, and we make no representations or warranties regarding the completeness or accuracy of any content identification measures. The existence or absence of any content identification measures does not alter or diminish your obligations under Section 4.1.
5. Content Rights and Licenses
5.1 License Grant to Company
You represent and warrant that you own all right, title and interest in and to your Submissions, including all copyrights and rights of publicity contained therein, and that you possess all necessary rights or have obtained all consents necessary to grant the Company the rights and licenses herein. By using the Service or otherwise transmitting Submissions to us, you grant to the Company and our affiliates, successors, assigns, and designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, sublicensable (directly and indirectly through multiple tiers), assignable, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, store, modify, distribute, create derivative works based on, perform, display, communicate, transmit and otherwise make available any and all Content (in whole or in part) in any media now known or hereafter developed, in connection with the provision, use, monetization, promotion, marketing, and improvement of our products and services, including the Service and the artificial intelligence and machine learning models related to the Service.
For the avoidance of doubt, this license authorizes us to make your Content available to and sublicense Content to other users of the Service as necessary to provide the Service, and you further grant to the Company the worldwide, fully paid-up, sublicensable, assignable, perpetual and irrevocable right to identify to the public (both on and off the Service) that Output (or any of it) was generated via the Service.
Such uses by the Company and other users of the Service are made without compensation to you or any other provider of the Submissions with respect to the Content, as the use of the Service by you is hereby agreed as being sufficient compensation for the Content and grant of rights herein. Furthermore, and for the avoidance of doubt, you irrevocably waive any and all so-called "moral rights" or "droit moral" that may exist in or in connection with the Content.
5.2 Output Ownership — Paid Users
Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service, if you are a user who has subscribed to a paid tier of the Service, the Company hereby assigns to you all of its right, title and interest in and to any Output owned by the Company and generated from Submissions made by you through the Service during the term of your paid-tier subscription. However, due to the nature of machine learning, the Company makes no representation or warranty to you that any copyright will vest in any Output.
Paid users may download Outputs generated from their Submissions and use such Outputs for both personal and Commercial Use (as defined in Section 7), subject to compliance with these Terms of Service and all applicable laws.
5.3 Output Rights — Free Users
If you are a user of the free tier of the Service, you covenant and agree that you will only use Outputs generated from Submissions made by you through the Service solely for your lawful, internal, personal and non-commercial purposes, provided that you give attribution credit to Groove in each case. Free users may share hyperlinks to stream their Outputs on the Service but may not download Outputs or use them for any Commercial Use.
5.4 Download and Sharing Restrictions
Only paid users who created an Output may download that Output from the Service. No user may download Outputs created by another user. Recipients of shared streaming links may stream the applicable Output but may not download, reproduce, or otherwise copy the audio. You agree not to circumvent, remove, alter, deactivate, degrade, or thwart any of the content protections, streaming restrictions, or download restrictions on the Service.
5.5 Non-Unique Outputs
Due to the nature of machine learning, Output may not be unique across users and the Service may generate the same or similar output for a third party. Other users may provide similar Submissions and receive the same output. Output that is requested by and generated for other users is not your Content.
5.6 Usage Data
You hereby authorize the Company and its third-party service providers to derive statistical and usage data relating to your use of the Service ("Usage Data"). We may use Usage Data for any purpose in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy.
5.7 AI Training
You acknowledge and agree that the Company may use your Submissions, Outputs, and related data to train, develop, fine-tune, or otherwise improve the Service and any related artificial intelligence or machine learning models, products, or services, during and after the term of your use of the Service.
The Company (or its licensors or designees) may analyze, aggregate, or anonymize any data or information relating to the Service, Submissions, or Outputs for analytical purposes and to monitor, improve, or expand the Service or other commercial offerings. Such de-identified data and AI learnings are the Company's (or its licensors' or designees') sole and exclusive property and may be combined and analyzed with other data for any lawful purposes during and after the term of this Agreement.
5.8 Feedback
Any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback, reviews, or other information about the Service ("Feedback") provided by you to the Company are non-confidential, and the Company will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment, attribution, or compensation to you.
5.9 Content Preservation and Disclosure
You acknowledge and agree that the Company may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process, applicable laws, or government requests; (b) enforce these Terms of Service; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the Company, its users, or the public.
6. User Conduct and Restrictions
You are solely responsible for any use of the Service and all Submissions that you make available, and for any Outputs that you generate via the Service. You assume all risk associated with Submissions, including the transmission thereof, and you have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, legality and appropriateness of Submissions. In no event will you use the Output to compete with the Company, including to create a competing product or service. You agree to not use the Service to:

If you are blocked by the Company from accessing the Service (including by blocking your IP address), you agree not to implement any measures to circumvent such blocking (e.g., by masking your IP address or using a proxy IP address or virtual private network).

For purposes of these Terms of Service, "Commercial Use" means any use primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation, including, but not limited to: distribution on streaming platforms (such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, or similar services); use in advertisements or promotional materials; use in monetized video content (such as YouTube videos with ads enabled or sponsored social media content); synchronization with commercial media (such as film, television, podcasts, or video games); use in connection with the sale, marketing, or promotion of goods or services; and licensing or sublicensing to third parties for any of the foregoing purposes.

Paid subscribers may use Outputs generated from their own Submissions for Commercial Use in accordance with Section 5.2 of these Terms of Service, provided that such use complies with all applicable laws and does not violate the rights of any third party.
8. Fees, Payment, and Subscriptions
8.1 Fees
To the extent the Service or any portion thereof is made available for any fee, you may be required to select a payment plan and provide information regarding your credit card or other payment instrument. You represent and warrant to the Company that such information is true and that you are authorized to use the payment instrument. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur. You agree to pay the Company the amount that is specified in the payment plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and these Terms of Service. If your payment plan includes an ongoing subscription that is automatically renewed periodically, you hereby authorize the Company (through its payment processor) to bill your payment instrument in advance on such periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred.
If you dispute any charges you must let the Company know within sixty (60) days after the date that the Company charges you, or within such longer period of time as may be required under applicable law. We reserve the right to change our prices. If the Company does change prices, the Company will provide notice of the change through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means, at the Company's option, at least thirty (30) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on the Company's net income.
8.2 Subscription Renewals and Cancellations
You agree that if you purchase a subscription, your subscription will automatically renew at the subscription period frequency referenced on your subscription page (or if not designated, then monthly) and at the then-current rates, and your payment method will automatically be charged at the start of each new subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future subscription charges, you must cancel your subscription seven (7) days before the subscription period renewal date by cancelling your subscription within the account interface of the Site or by emailing billing@groove.fm. Following any cancellation by you, you will continue to have access to the paid Service through the end of the subscription period for which payment has already been made.
8.3 Refunds
Payments made by you hereunder are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by the Company. If we discontinue the Service, we will refund you any pre-paid fees on a pro rata basis, based upon the number of months left in the pre-payment period.
8.4 Free Trial
You can sign up for a trial for the paid portion of the Service and your trial period starts on the day you sign up for the trial and lasts for the duration indicated on your free trial confirmation email (or if not specified, then 7 days). If you are on a trial, you may cancel at any time until the last day of your trial by cancelling within the account interface of the Site or by emailing billing@groove.fm. If you do not cancel your trial at the end of your free trial period, and we have notified you that your account will be converted to a paid subscription, you authorize us to charge your credit card or other designated billing method for continued use of the paid Service. If you cancel your trial account or decide not to purchase a paid version of the Service at the end of your trial period, your content or data associated with your trial account may no longer be available to you, and the Company may delete or remove any such content or data.
8.5 Payment Processing
The Company does not directly process payments for the Service. We use a third-party payment processor to facilitate payment. These payment processing services are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the applicable payment processor. By agreeing to these Terms of Service, users that use the payment functions of the Service also agree to be bound by the applicable payment processor's terms. The Company assumes no liability or responsibility for any payments you make through the Service.

9.4 Counter-Notice
If you believe that your Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content to be removed or disabled; and
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the State of New York and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, the Company will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that the Company may replace the removed content or cease disabling it within ten (10) business days. Unless the owner of the applicable copyrighted work files an action seeking a court order against the Company or the user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

The Company reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section, and you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting the Company's defense of such matter. In the event of any third-party claim relating to your use of the Service, your Submissions, or your Outputs, you agree to:
- provide information, documents, and testimony relevant to the claim as reasonably requested by the Company;
- make yourself reasonably available to assist in the Company's defense;

13.3 Cessation of Distribution
If there is (or is likely to be) a third-party claim, complaint, proceeding, allegation, or injunction relating to your Outputs or use or distribution of any Outputs, then you agree to promptly, upon the Company's reasonable request: (a) remove such Outputs from any platforms, works, or media in which they have been incorporated; (b) cease using and otherwise distributing or exploiting any such Outputs (or derivatives thereof); and (c) cause any third parties to whom you have sold, assigned, licensed, or provided the Outputs to do the same. This obligation applies notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms of Service.
14. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
14.1 Agreement to Arbitrate
This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and the Company, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Service, any Content, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and the Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
14.2 Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
14.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
The Company is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@groove.fm. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to the Company should be sent to Soundry AI Inc., 838 Walker Rd. Suite 21-2, Dover, DE 19904 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If the Company and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled.
14.4 Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, https://www.adr.org. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless the Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
14.5 Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either the Company or you under the AAA Rules, the Company and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, the Company will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Company will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
14.6 Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
14.7 Opt-Out
You have the right to opt out of and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this Section 14 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the Notice Address within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms of Service. The notice must state that you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement and include your name, address, phone number, email address, and the account username(s) to which the opt-out applies. If you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of the Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with the Company.
14.8 Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than Section 14.2 titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief") is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 14.2 are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of these Terms of Service will continue to apply.
14.9 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, the Company agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Service, you may reject any such change by sending the Company written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).
15. Termination
You agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any Content within the Service, for any reason in the Company's sole discretion, including for lack of use or if the Company believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of the Service may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities.
The Company may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue or suspend providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that the Company may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service.
You acknowledge that data that has been used for training or improving the Company's AI and ML models cannot be removed or "un-trained" following account deletion or termination. The perpetual license rights granted under Section 5.1 and the AI training rights granted under Section 5.7 survive termination or expiration of your account.
Further, you agree that the Company will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service. If the Company terminates solely for the Company's convenience, the Company will refund any prepaid fees paid by you that are not associated with Services actually provided prior to such termination.
