Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the website, applications, products, services, and AI-enabled functionality made available by Handy Ventures LLC ("Handy Ventures," "we," "us," or "our") at https://handyventures.app/ and through related offerings (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms for yourself and, if you use the Services on behalf of an organization, for that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility and Authority

You represent that you are legally able to enter into these Terms. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes that organization.

2. Accounts and Security

You must provide accurate, current, and complete account information and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding account credentials, controlling access to your account, and all activity occurring through it. Promptly notify us at hello@handyventures.app of suspected unauthorized access or use.

3. Client Content and Your Responsibilities

"Client Content" means information, documents, data, communications, files, prompts, records, and other materials that you or users acting under your account submit, upload, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Services.

You retain all rights you have in Client Content. You grant Handy Ventures and its service providers a non-exclusive, worldwide, limited right to host, copy, transmit, modify, display, and otherwise process Client Content solely as necessary to operate, secure, support, and provide the Services; generate requested outputs; comply with law; and enforce these Terms.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, permissions, notices, consents, and other lawful bases to submit Client Content and to authorize the processing described in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable order form or data processing addendum. You will not submit Client Content if its processing through the Services would violate applicable law or your contractual, professional, fiduciary, confidentiality, or other obligations.

4. AI-Enabled Functionality

The Services may use artificial-intelligence or machine-learning technologies, including third-party providers, to process Client Content and generate outputs ("Outputs"). You authorize that processing as necessary to provide the AI-enabled features you elect to use.

Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, non-unique, unsuitable for a particular purpose, or otherwise unreliable. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and independently evaluating Outputs before using, publishing, sharing, acting on, or relying on them. Outputs do not constitute legal, medical, financial, tax, employment, regulatory, or other professional advice unless Handy Ventures expressly agrees otherwise in a written agreement signed by an authorized representative.

You must not use the Services or Outputs to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on a person without appropriate human review and any notices, permissions, validations, or other safeguards required by applicable law.

Client Content or outputs may be used to train or improve Handy Ventures models or third-party models.

5. Acceptable Use

You may not, and may not permit any person to:

• use the Services unlawfully or in violation of another person's rights;
• submit malicious code, infringing material, or material that violates a duty of privacy, confidentiality, or security;
• submit regulated, highly sensitive, or restricted information except where Handy Ventures has expressly approved the relevant use in writing and the Services are configured to support it;
• use the Services to develop, train, or improve a competing product or service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
• interfere with the Services, bypass security measures, probe or scan for vulnerabilities without authorization, or access non-public systems or data;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover source code or underlying models, except to the extent expressly permitted by non-waivable law;
• use automated means to access the Services except through authorized interfaces; or
• use the Services to generate or distribute content that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing, or harmful.

6. Service Changes and Availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services, including AI-enabled features, at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material discontinuations when practicable. The Services may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, security events, third-party failures, or circumstances beyond our control.

7. Fees and Payment

Fees, billing terms, renewals, taxes, and payment obligations are stated in the applicable order form, subscription page, or other agreement. Except as required by law or expressly stated otherwise in writing, fees are non-refundable. You are responsible for all applicable taxes other than taxes based on Handy Ventures' net income.

8. Confidentiality

Each party may receive non-public information of the other party that is identified as confidential or that reasonably should be understood as confidential ("Confidential Information"). The receiving party will use the disclosing party's Confidential Information only to perform or receive the Services and will protect it using at least reasonable care. Confidential Information does not include information the receiving party can demonstrate is or becomes public through no breach, was lawfully known without restriction, was independently developed without use of the other party's Confidential Information, or was lawfully received without restriction from a third party.

A receiving party may disclose Confidential Information when required by law, provided it gives prior notice when legally permitted and reasonably cooperates with efforts to seek protective treatment.

9. Intellectual Property

The Services, including their software, designs, documentation, branding, and all related intellectual-property rights, are owned by Handy Ventures or its licensors. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, Handy Ventures grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services during the applicable subscription period for your internal business purposes.

As between the parties, Handy Ventures does not claim ownership of Client Content. You may use Outputs for lawful purposes, subject to these Terms and any third-party rights. Because AI-generated material may not be unique and may be generated for other users, Handy Ventures does not warrant that any Output is exclusive to you or eligible for intellectual-property protection.

10. Third-Party Services

The Services may incorporate or enable access to third-party services, including AI providers. Their services may be subject to separate terms, privacy notices, or restrictions. Handy Ventures is not responsible for third-party services except to the extent expressly stated in a written agreement.

11. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, created a security or legal risk, failed to pay applicable fees, or used the Services in a manner that could harm Handy Ventures, other users, or third parties. You may stop using the Services at any time, subject to any subscription or order-form commitments.

Upon termination, your right to use the Services ends. Sections that by their nature should survive will survive, including provisions concerning Client Content rights, confidentiality, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, disputes, and general terms.

12. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." HANDY VENTURES DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HANDY VENTURES AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HANDY VENTURES' TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO HANDY VENTURES FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY.

14. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Handy Ventures, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to: (a) Client Content; (b) your use of the Services or Outputs in violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (c) your breach of the representations in Section 3. Handy Ventures will promptly notify you of a claim, permit you to control the defense and settlement, and reasonably cooperate at your expense; provided that you may not settle a claim in a manner that admits liability or imposes obligations on Handy Ventures without Handy Ventures' prior written consent.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any lawsuit arising from these Terms must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and each party consents to that jurisdiction and venue.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms and revise the Effective Date. If a change is material, we will provide notice as required by law or reasonably appropriate under the circumstances. Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance, to the extent permitted by law.

17. General Terms

These Terms, together with any applicable order form, data processing addendum, and the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Handy Ventures regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If there is a conflict, an executed order form or data processing addendum controls solely for its subject matter.

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent, except in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of your assets. Handy Ventures may assign these Terms in connection with a corporate transaction or to an affiliate. The failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
