legally binding contract between you and Pangram Labs regarding your use of the Service.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:

CONDITIONS, INCLUDING PANGRAM LABS’ PRIVACY POLICY
[https://www.pangram.com/privacy-policy.html] (TOGETHER, THESE

THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND PANGRAM LABS’ PROVISION OF
THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY PANGRAM LABS AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE
TERMS.
ARBITRATION NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes
described in Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and

Pangram Labs Service Overview. Pangram
Labs provides technology solutions designed to detect AI-generated content at scale, helping our
users to authenticate human-generated content and prevent the spread of unwanted AI-generated
content.
-
Eligibility. You must be at least 18
years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a)
you are at least 18 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the
Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all
applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual
accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to
these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
-
Accounts and Registration. To access
most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account,
you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your name, email
address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate,
complete, and not misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When
you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that
occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should
immediately notify us at info@pangram.com.
-
General Payment Terms. Certain features
of the Service may require you to pay fees. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to
review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in
these Terms, all fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-refundable, except as required by law.
-
Price. Pangram Labs
reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Pangram Labs will make reasonable efforts
to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date. We encourage you to check our
pricing page periodically for current pricing information. Pangram Labs may change the fees for any
feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Pangram Labs gives you advance
notice of changes before they apply. Pangram Labs, at its sole discretion, may make promotional
offers with different features and different pricing to any of Pangram Labs’ customers. These
promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms.
-
Authorization. You
authorize Pangram Labs to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any level of Service you
select as described in these Terms or published by Pangram Labs, including all applicable taxes, to
the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any fees with a credit card, then Pangram
Labs may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that
the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase.
-
Subscription Service. The Service
may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic
charges (“Subscription Service”). The
“Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you
purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the
Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account
(such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”),
and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription
Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we
terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Pangram Labs or its
third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until
cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. For
information on the “Subscription Fee”, please see
our pricing page at https://pangram.com/pricing. Your account will be charged automatically on the
Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all
applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription
Service before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your
account. Pangram Labs or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee
to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may
cancel the Subscription Service through your account settings or
by contacting us
at info@pangram.com. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED
BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.
-
Delinquent Accounts. Pangram Labs may
suspend or terminate access to the Service, including fee-based portions of the Service, for any
account for which any amount is due but unpaid. In addition to the amount due for the Service, a
delinquent account will be charged with fees or charges that are incidental to any chargeback or
collection of any the unpaid amount, including collection fees. If your payment method is no longer
valid at the time a renewal Subscription Fee is due, then Pangram Labs reserves the right to delete
your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with your account
without any liability to you.

CORRECTED.
-
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE
SERVICE OR PANGRAM LABS ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL
CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE PANGRAM LABS ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY
STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICE AND

SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR
PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR
ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.
-
THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 14
(DISCLAIMERS; NO WARRANTIES BY PANGRAM
LABS) APPLY TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Pangram Labs does not disclaim any warranty or other right that
Pangram Labs is prohibited from disclaiming under applicable law.
-
Limitation of Liability
-
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE
PANGRAM LABS ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS)
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE
SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY PANGRAM LABS

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 16.5 (COMMENCING
ARBITRATION) AND 16.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE PANGRAM LABS

(B) US$100.
-
EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE
RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF
THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER
PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY
FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
-
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
-
Generally. Except as described in
Section 16.2 (Exceptions) and 16.3 (Opt-Out), you and Pangram Labs agree that every dispute arising
in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through
binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less
formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject
to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether
based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and
regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute
relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration
agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND PANGRAM LABS
ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
-
Exceptions. Although we
are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive,
preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small
claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local
agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of
arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement
claim.
-
Opt-Out. If you do not wish to
resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 16
(Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the
date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to Pangram Labs, Inc., Attention: Legal
Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 333 Schermerhorn St, Apt 49F, Brooklyn, NY 11217, that
specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and
a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out
Notice”). Once Pangram Labs receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 16
(Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any
action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 17.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not
be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
-
Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any
arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its
Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online
at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Pangram Labs.
-
Commencing Arbitration. Before
initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party
by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has
not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Pangram Labs’ address for Notice is:
Pangram Labs, Inc., 333 Schermerhorn St, Apt 49F, Brooklyn, NY 11217 . The Notice of Arbitration
must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the
nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought
(“Demand”). The parties will make good
faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so
within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Pangram Labs may commence an
arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Pangram Labs
will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000
or if Pangram Labs has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the
payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the
substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper
purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the
payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for
any fees paid to AAA.
-
Arbitration Proceedings. Any
arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree
otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may
choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to
the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as
established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the
arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Pangram Labs must not be disclosed to
the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of
the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written
decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and
award, if any, are based.
-
Arbitration Relief. Except as
provided in Section 16.8 (No Class Actions), the
arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of
competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written
settlement amount offered by Pangram Labs before an arbitrator was selected, Pangram Labs will pay
to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The
arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review
expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator's award includes an award of injunctive
relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the
injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the
arbitrator's application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction.
-
No Class Actions. YOU AND
PANGRAM LABS 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, unless both you and Pangram Labs agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more
than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or
class proceeding.
-
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Pangram Labs makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may
reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Pangram
Labs’ address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Pangram Labs will be
immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes
you rejected will survive.
-
Enforceability. If Section 16.8
(No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 16
(Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be
unenforceable, or if Pangram Labs receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this
Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be
null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17.2
(Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or
related to these Terms.
-
Miscellaneous
-
General Terms.
These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly
incorporated by reference into these Terms, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement
between you and Pangram Labs regarding your use of the Service. You may not assign or transfer these
Terms or your rights under these Terms, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise,
without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms and all rights granted under these
Terms, including with respect to your User Content, at any time without notice or consent. The
failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at
any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of these Terms, or any
provision of these Terms, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the
provision itself. Use of Section headers in these Terms is for convenience only and will not
have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. Throughout these Terms the use of the word
“including” means “including but not limited to.” If any part of these Terms
is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then the unenforceable part will be given effect to the
greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
-
Governing Law. These
Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law
principles. You and Pangram Labs submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state
courts and federal courts located within Kings County, New York for resolution of any lawsuit or
court proceeding permitted under these Terms. We operate the Service from our offices in New York,
and we make no representation that Materials included in the Service are appropriate or available
for use in other locations.
