By accessing or using the Services, you ("Customer," "you") agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. These Terms incorporate any applicable Order Form, Statement of Work ("SOW"), and Data Processing Addendum ("DPA"), as well as our Privacy Policy.
1) The Services
1.1 Overview
Unusual provides an "AI Relations" platform that (a) probes and analyzes responses from third-party large language models about your brand, products, customers, and positioning; (b) surfaces insights and recommendations; and (c) optionally hosts reference content for AI systems on a subdomain you control (e.g., ai.yourdomain.com) or a location we provision (collectively, the "Services").
1.2 Definitions
Customer Content: text, data, images, links, prompts, meeting notes, brand docs, product info, and other materials you or your users provide to or through the Services (including materials we host for you on "Content for AI" pages).
Insights/Outputs: analyses, recommendations, scores, drafts, or other content the Services generate or return.
Order Form: any ordering document executed by the parties that references these Terms.
1.3 Changes to the Services
We may improve, modify, or discontinue features at any time. If we make material changes that significantly reduce core functionality, we will provide notice.
2) Accounts & Access
2.1 Registration and Responsibilities
You must provide accurate account information and maintain the security of your credentials. You are responsible for all activities under your account.
2.2 Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to bind the Customer entity.
3) Subscriptions, Renewals, Fees, and Taxes
3.1 Subscription Term and Billing
Unless otherwise stated in an Order Form, subscriptions renew month-to-month and auto-renew until canceled. Fees are billed via our payment processor (e.g., Stripe) at the start of each term. Prepaid amounts are non-refundable except as required by law or expressly stated otherwise.
3.2 Cancellations
You may cancel renewal at any time, effective at the end of the then-current term.
3.3 Late Fees; Suspension
We may suspend or limit the Services for non-payment after reasonable notice.

Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, VAT/GST, and similar taxes (excluding taxes on our income).
4) Customer Content; Hosting; No Sensitive Data; Data Usage Rights
4.1 License to Host and Use
You grant Unusual a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, display, and modify Customer Content solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services; provide support; comply with law; and as otherwise permitted in these Terms.
4.2 Our Data Usage Rights
We may use Customer Content (including inputs, outputs, usage patterns, interactions, and feedback) to:
(a) Service Operation and Improvement: Operate, maintain, secure, debug, and improve the Services and our other products and services;
(b) Model Training and Development: Develop, train, test, fine-tune, and improve our artificial intelligence models, machine learning systems, and algorithms, which may be used to provide services to other customers;
(c) Aggregated Data: Aggregate, anonymize, or de-identify Customer Content to create aggregated statistics, insights, benchmarks, and analytics ("Aggregated Data"). We own all Aggregated Data and may use, disclose, license, and exploit Aggregated Data for any purpose without restriction, including product development, research, marketing, and commercial purposes;
(d) Usage Analytics: We own all usage data, analytics, telemetry, and insights derived from your use of the Services.
Safeguards: We will not use Customer Content to train models in a manner that would cause Insights/Outputs provided to other customers to reproduce your proprietary or confidential information in identifiable form. However, you acknowledge that AI models learn patterns, concepts, and general knowledge from all training data collectively.
4.3 Ownership
Between the parties, you own Customer Content (including any "Content for AI" pages and approved copy). We own the Services and all related intellectual property (software, documentation, algorithms, AI models, platform, know-how, trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and all other intellectual property).
4.4 Your Responsibilities
You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and approvals of Customer Content and any publication or reliance on Insights/Outputs. You agree to review and approve any drafts or recommendations before using them in production or external communications.
4.5 No Sensitive or Regulated Data
Do not upload or provide regulated/sensitive data (e.g., PHI, PCI, precise geolocation, data about children, special categories of personal data) unless a signed addendum expressly authorizes such processing.
5) Third-Party Providers; Models; Subprocessors
5.1 Third-Party Services
The Services may send prompts and context to third-party model providers (e.g., LLM APIs) and use cloud and analytics vendors. Use of third-party services is subject to their terms. We maintain a current list of subprocessors on our website.
5.2 Configuration; "No-Training" Settings
Where supported by a provider, we configure API settings or contract terms to disable provider training on your prompts/outputs; provider policies vary and remain under the provider's control.

AI can be wrong. INSIGHTS/OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OR HALLUCINATIONS.

9) Privacy; Roles; Data Requests

12) Indemnities
12.1 Customer Indemnity
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Unusual and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from and against third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) Customer Content; (b) your use or publication of Insights/Outputs; or (c) your breach of these Terms.
12.2 Unusual Indemnity
We will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims alleging that the Services (excluding Customer Content, your configurations, and third-party components) directly infringe a U.S. patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriate a trade secret. Our obligations are conditioned on your prompt notice and cooperation. As our remedy we may modify, replace, or terminate the affected feature and refund any prepaid, unused fees for that feature.

12.4 Indemnification Procedures

(a) Promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of any claim for which indemnity is sought (but failure to do so relieves the indemnifying party only to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the delay);
(b) Grant the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim, provided that the indemnifying party may not settle in a manner that: (i) admits liability or wrongdoing on behalf of the indemnified party; (ii) imposes obligations on the indemnified party; or (iii) requires payment by the indemnified party, without the indemnified party's prior written consent; and
(c) Reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in the defense at the indemnifying party's expense.
The indemnified party may participate in the defense with counsel of its own choosing at its own expense.
12.5 Sole Remedy
THIS SECTION 12 STATES EACH PARTY'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND THE OTHER PARTY'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS.
13) Limits of Liability
13.1 Types of Damages
To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages (including lost profits, revenue, savings, or data), even if advised of the possibility.
13.2 Cap
Each party's aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Services is limited to the amounts paid or payable by Customer to Unusual for the Services in the one (1) month immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim. If no fees have been paid, the liability cap is $1,000.

Either party may elect not to renew at the end of any term.

14.5 Survival
The following provisions survive termination or expiration of these Terms: Sections 4.2 (Our Data Usage Rights), 4.3 (Ownership), 6 (AI Output Disclaimers), 7 (Acceptable Use - to the extent violations occurred during the term), 8 (Confidentiality), 10 (Intellectual Property), 11.3 (Disclaimer), 12 (Indemnities), 13 (Limits of Liability), 15 (Export; Sanctions), 18 (Assignment; Notices; Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous), 19 (Dispute Resolution; Governing Law), and any other provisions which by their nature should survive, including all payment obligations accrued prior to termination.
15) Export; Sanctions; Anti-Corruption
You will comply with U.S. and other applicable export control and sanctions laws and not use or provide access to the Services in restricted regions or to prohibited parties. You will comply with applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws.
16) Publicity
Customer grants Unusual a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Customer's name, logos, and word marks to identify Customer as a customer of the Services on Unusual's websites, product UI, pitch and sales decks, case studies/one-pagers, white papers, social media, conference materials, RFP/procurement responses, and investor communications. Unusual will follow Customer's reasonable brand guidelines if provided.
Unusual may describe the nature of the engagement at a high level (e.g., industry, product lines, general use cases) but will not disclose Customer Confidential Information, pricing, or non-public results without Customer's prior written approval.
Quotes/testimonials, detailed case studies naming Customer, or press releases require Customer's prior written approval (email is sufficient).
Customer may opt out of name/logo use at any time by emailing founders@unusual.ai; Unusual will stop new uses promptly and remove name/logo from Unusual-controlled web properties within 10 business days. For avoidance of doubt, Unusual may retain and continue to distribute historical materials (e.g., already-printed decks, previously posted conference videos) created before receipt of the opt-out, and may keep archival copies.
Nothing in this section creates or implies endorsement by Customer. All goodwill arising from use of Customer's marks inures to Customer.
17) Beta Features; Free Trials
From time to time, we may offer beta or trial features ("Beta"). Beta is provided as-is without support or warranties and may be discontinued at any time. You assume all risk for use of Beta and agree to provide feedback.
18) Assignment; Notices; Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous
18.1 Assignment
Neither party may assign these Terms without the other party's prior written consent, except either party may assign to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets (with notice).
18.2 Notices
Notices to Unusual must be sent to founders@unusual.ai with a copy to our registered address. We may provide notices to the email associated with your account.
18.3 Force Majeure
Neither party is liable for delays or failures in performance (except for payment obligations) to the extent caused by events or circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, riots, war, civil unrest, government actions or restrictions, labor disputes, or failures of the Internet, telecommunications, or third-party hosting providers. The affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the force majeure event. If the force majeure event continues for more than 60 days, either party may terminate these Terms upon written notice.
18.4 Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence
These Terms together with any Order Form, SOW, and DPA constitute the entire agreement and supersede prior agreements on the subject matter. Conflicts are resolved in the following order: Order Form, DPA, SOW, these Terms.
18.5 Waiver; Severability
Failure to enforce is not a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
18.6 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures
These Terms may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic signature, DocuSign, or scanned/PDF signature), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Electronic signatures shall have the same legal effect as original signatures.
18.7 Attorneys' Fees
In any legal action, arbitration, or other proceeding to enforce rights under these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses from the non-prevailing party.
19) Dispute Resolution; Governing Law
19.1 Informal Resolution
Before filing any claim, the parties will confer in good faith for 30 days after written notice (email sufficient) to attempt to resolve the dispute.
19.2 Arbitration; Dispute Resolution
Except for claims seeking preliminary, temporary, or permanent injunctive relief to protect confidential information or intellectual property rights, or claims brought in small claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (and, if applicable, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules) before a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware, applying Delaware substantive law (without regard to conflicts of law principles). The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs this provision, and the arbitrator—not any court—shall decide all issues of arbitrability, including scope, enforceability, formation, and whether claims are subject to arbitration. All claims must be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action; the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. The parties agree to keep the existence, content, and outcome of any arbitration confidential except as necessary to enforce the award or as required by law. Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs, except that the prevailing party may be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator or court. For any claim not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and each party irrevocably waives any right to a jury trial.
19.3 Mass-Arbitration Management (AAA)
If 25 or more substantially similar arbitration demands are filed against a party by the same or coordinated counsel, the parties agree that AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules will apply to promote efficiency and fairness, which may include staged filings, bellwether proceedings, batching, and reasonable fee allocations consistent with those Rules and applicable law. The arbitrator(s) may stay non-bellwether claims pending resolution of bellwethers.
19.4 Severability
If any portion of this Section 19 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that portion will be severed and the remainder enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the class/representative action waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, then that claim (and only that claim) must be litigated in court and not in arbitration.
