Terms of Service

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Onederous platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by Onederous Inc. ("Onederous," "we," "our," or "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

1. Definitions

The following terms have the meanings set forth below when used in these Terms:

"Agreement" means these Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any Order Form or other document expressly incorporated by reference.

"AI Agents" means the specialized artificial intelligence components within the Service that process Customer Content and generate Outputs, including but not limited to the agents known as Lucas, Olivia, Malik, Emma, Hudson, Amelia, and Noah.

"Beta Services" means any features, technologies, or services labeled as beta, pilot, preview, early access, or similar designation, which are made available for evaluation purposes and are not considered part of the generally available Service.

"Customer Content" means all data, text, documents, images, brand briefs, strategic inputs, and other materials that you submit to the Service for processing. Customer Content does not include Outputs or Account Information.

"Account Information" means the information you provide during registration and account management, including your name, email address, company name, and billing details.

"Outputs" means the AI-generated strategic, creative, and analytical content produced by the Service in response to your Customer Content.

"Service" means the Onederous platform, website (onederous.ai), and all associated tools, features, and functionality made available by Onederous to you under this Agreement.

"User" means any individual who accesses or uses the Service under your account, including you and any person to whom you have granted access.

"Your Data" means, collectively, your Customer Content, Account Information, and any other electronic data submitted by or for you to the Service or generated through your use of the Service. Your Data does not include aggregated, de-identified interaction data described in Section 7 (AI System and Learning).

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. License to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, Onederous grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes. You may not sublicense, resell, or otherwise make the Service available to third parties except as expressly permitted.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, or infringes on the intellectual property rights of others.
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, underlying algorithms, AI model weights, agent architectures, prompt structures, or proprietary methodologies of the Service or any component thereof. This prohibition includes, without limitation: (a) using the Outputs or behavior of the Service to reconstruct or approximate the logic, prompts, or workflows used by the AI Agents; (b) systematically querying the Service to map its internal decision-making processes; (c) extracting or attempting to extract model parameters or training data through the Service's inputs or outputs; and (d) using any automated or manual technique to probe, test, or analyze the Service for the purpose of building a competing product or service. This restriction applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
• Upload malicious code, viruses, or any content designed to disrupt or damage the Service.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service except as explicitly permitted by our API documentation.
• Impersonate another person, company, or entity.
• Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.

4.1 API, MCP, and Similar Access

If Onederous makes application programming interfaces ("APIs"), Model Context Protocol ("MCP") servers, webhooks, or other programmatic integration mechanisms (collectively, "Integration Interfaces") available to you, your use of such Integration Interfaces is subject to these Terms and the following additional conditions:

(a) Rate limits and usage. Integration Interfaces may be subject to rate limits, usage quotas, or other technical restrictions as described in our documentation. You agree not to exceed these limits or attempt to circumvent them.

(b) Credentials and authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any API keys, tokens, MCP connection credentials, or other authentication mechanisms issued to you. You will not share credentials with unauthorized third parties. You are responsible for all activity that occurs using your credentials.

(c) Permitted use. You may use Integration Interfaces solely to integrate the Service with your own applications for your internal business purposes. You may not use Integration Interfaces to build a product or service that competes with the Service, or to access the Service in ways that circumvent usage limits or fees.

(d) Data handling. When using Integration Interfaces, you are responsible for ensuring that any personal data transmitted to or from the Service through such interfaces is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Onederous is not responsible for data processing that occurs within your own systems or third-party applications connected via Integration Interfaces.

(e) Changes and deprecation. Onederous may modify, deprecate, or discontinue Integration Interfaces or their features at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes, but are not obligated to maintain backward compatibility.

(f) Additional terms. Onederous may publish additional terms specific to particular Integration Interfaces. In the event of a conflict between such specific terms and these Terms, the specific terms will control with respect to your use of the applicable Integration Interface.

If Onederous does not currently offer Integration Interfaces, this section will apply if and when such access becomes available.

5. Your Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain all intellectual property rights in the content you submit to the Service ("Customer Content"), including brand inputs, strategic briefs, and any materials uploaded.

5.2 License to Us

By submitting Customer Content, you grant Onederous a limited, non-exclusive license to process that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This license does not extend to training our AI models. See our Privacy Policy, Section 3 for our complete AI training policy.

5.3 Outputs

AI-generated outputs produced through your use of the Service ("Outputs") are yours to use, subject to applicable law. Onederous does not claim ownership of Outputs. You acknowledge that Outputs are AI-generated and that you are responsible for reviewing them for accuracy and suitability before use.

5.4 Representations

You represent that you have all necessary rights to submit Customer Content to the Service, and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

5.5 Logo and Brand Display Permission

During account registration, beta enrollment, or partner onboarding, you may be given the option to permit Onederous to display your company's name, logo, and/or your testimonial on our public website and marketing materials ("Brand Display Permission").

This permission is strictly optional. Access to the Service is not conditioned on granting Brand Display Permission.

If you grant Brand Display Permission:

• Onederous may display your company name and logo in sections such as "Partners," "Customers," "Early Adopters," or "Built With" on onederous.ai and in associated marketing materials.
• We will source logo assets from your official brand kit and will not modify them beyond scaling for display.
• If you provide a testimonial or quote, it will be attributed to you as [Name, Title, Company] and displayed as submitted, or as edited by you prior to submission.
• For formal technology partners, Brand Display Permission granted here is supplementary to any contractual terms in your executed partnership agreement. Contractual terms govern in the event of any conflict.

Withdrawing permission: You may revoke Brand Display Permission at any time via your account settings or by contacting legal@onederous.ai. Withdrawal will prevent future uses of your brand assets. It does not automatically remove your logo or name from materials already published; to request removal from live materials, contact us directly and we will action that request within 30 days.

For users covered by GDPR, Brand Display Permission constitutes a consent record under Article 7 of the GDPR. Your consent is recorded with a timestamp at the point of collection and can be withdrawn with the same ease with which it was granted.

6. Beta Services and Early Access

From time to time, Onederous may make Beta Services available to you at no additional charge or at a reduced fee. You may accept or decline any Beta Services invitation in your sole discretion. Beta Services will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, preview, early access, or by a description of similar import.

Beta Services are provided for evaluation purposes and are not considered part of the generally available Service. Beta Services:

• Are provided "AS IS" without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11 (Disclaimer of Warranties);
• May be discontinued, modified, or removed at any time in Onederous's sole discretion, with or without notice;
• May not be covered by Onederous's standard support;
• May be subject to additional terms presented to you at the time of enrollment;
• Should not be relied upon for production use or critical business decisions.

Unless otherwise stated, any Beta Services trial period will expire upon the earlier of: (a) the date specified in the Beta Services invitation; (b) the date a generally available version of the Beta Service is released; or (c) the date Onederous terminates the Beta Service.

Onederous will have no liability for any harm, loss, or damage arising out of or in connection with any Beta Service.

Your Customer Content and Outputs created during a Beta Services period may not be retained or migrated to the generally available version. Onederous will make reasonable efforts to notify you before any such data is deleted.

7. AI System and Learning

Our platform uses AI agents to generate strategic and creative outputs. As described in our Privacy Policy, Onederous's system may improve over time based on aggregated, de-identified interaction patterns. Your proprietary Customer Content is never used to train our AI models. Outputs from the Service may not always be accurate, complete, or error-free. You are responsible for independently verifying any AI-generated content before using it for business decisions or client work.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, agent architectures, workflows, and underlying technology, is owned by Onederous and protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in Onederous's intellectual property except the limited license in Section 3.

8.1 Third-Party and Open-Source Components

The Service may incorporate third-party software, libraries, and open-source components ("Third-Party Components"). Such Third-Party Components are subject to their own license terms, which may be included in our documentation or made available upon request. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you rights that supersede, the license terms of any applicable Third-Party Component. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and the license terms of a Third-Party Component, the Third-Party Component's license terms will govern solely with respect to that component.

A list of material Third-Party Components and their applicable licenses is available upon request by contacting legal@onederous.ai.

9. Fees and Payment

Access to the Service may require a paid subscription. Fees are described on our pricing page. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as stated in our refund policy. Onederous reserves the right to modify pricing with reasonable advance notice.

10. Confidentiality

10.1 Definition

"Confidential Information" means all non-public information disclosed by one party ("Disclosing Party") to the other party ("Receiving Party"), whether orally, in writing, or by other means, that is designated as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information includes your Customer Content and Your Data. Onederous's Confidential Information includes the Service, its underlying technology, and non-public aspects of its agent architectures and workflows. Confidential Information of each party includes the terms and pricing of any subscription or order.

10.2 Exclusions

Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of the Receiving Party; (b) was known to the Receiving Party before disclosure by the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by written records; (c) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

10.3 Obligations

The Receiving Party will: (a) use the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature (but not less than reasonable care); (b) not use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (c) not disclose Confidential Information to any third party except to its employees, contractors, and advisors who need access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this section.

10.4 Compelled Disclosure

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, regulation, or court order, provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

10.5 Return and Destruction

Upon termination of this Agreement or upon the Disclosing Party's written request, the Receiving Party will promptly return or destroy all copies of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in its possession or control. For Your Data specifically, the return and destruction timeline follows the data retrieval process described in Section 14.1 (Data Retrieval Upon Termination): you will have thirty (30) days to retrieve your data, after which Onederous will delete it within an additional sixty (60) days. Copies retained in automated backups will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations of this section until deleted in the ordinary course. Data retained as required by law will also remain subject to these obligations.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. ONEDEROUS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

11.1 Service Availability

Onederous strives to maintain high availability of the Service but does not guarantee any specific level of uptime or availability. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to planned maintenance (for which we will endeavor to provide advance notice), unplanned outages, third-party service disruptions, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. Onederous does not offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and will not be liable for any downtime or service interruptions. If Onederous introduces a formal SLA in the future, it will be presented as a separate agreement or addendum.

12. Indemnification

12.1 Indemnification by You

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Onederous Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, demands, suits, or proceedings ("Claims Against Us") made or brought by a third party arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your Customer Content, including any claim that your Customer Content infringes or misappropriates a third party's intellectual property rights or violates applicable law; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or regulation. You will indemnify Onederous from any damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, and costs finally awarded against Onederous as a result of, or paid under a settlement approved by you of, a Claim Against Us, provided that Onederous: (i) promptly notifies you in writing of the claim; (ii) gives you reasonable control of the defense and settlement (except that you may not settle any claim unless it unconditionally releases Onederous of all liability); and (iii) provides you with reasonable assistance, at your expense.

12.2 Exclusive Remedy

This Section 12 states the indemnifying party's sole liability to, and the indemnified party's exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of claim described in this Section 12.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ONEDEROUS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ONEDEROUS'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO ONEDEROUS IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. Onederous may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you materially breach these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections 1 (Definitions), 5 (Your Content), 8 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Confidentiality), 11–13 (Disclaimers, Indemnification, Liability), 15 (GDPR), and 16 (Governing Law) survive termination.

14.1 Data Retrieval Upon Termination

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, you will have thirty (30) days from the effective date of termination to retrieve your Customer Content and Outputs from the Service using the available export functionality, or by requesting a data export from us at support@onederous.ai. After this 30-day retrieval period, we may delete all Customer Content and Outputs associated with your account within an additional sixty (60) days. We will have no obligation to maintain or provide your data after the retrieval period expires, except as required by applicable law. See our Privacy Policy, Section 5, for complete data retention details.

15. GDPR and Data Protection

To the extent Onederous processes personal data on your behalf (as a data processor), the parties agree to execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) as required by GDPR or other applicable data protection law. Please contact privacy@onederous.ai to request a DPA.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for IP or confidentiality violations.

16.1 Waiver of Jury Trial

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES THAT THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND NOT AS A RESULT OF DURESS OR COERCION.

16.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND ONEDEROUS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY 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, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Onederous agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award 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. If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the arbitration provision in this section (but not the rest of these Terms) shall be null and void, and the dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

17. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of material changes via email or in-product notification. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if it cannot be so modified, it will be deemed deleted. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will continue in full force and effect.

19. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations under these Terms, without the prior written consent of Onederous. Onederous may assign these Terms, or any rights or obligations under these Terms, without your consent in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or equity interests. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section will be void. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

20. Force Majeure

Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms (other than payment obligations) to the extent such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond the party's reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, epidemic or pandemic, war, terrorism, riot, power outage, internet or telecommunications failure, government action, or denial-of-service attacks ("Force Majeure Event"). The affected party will give prompt written notice to the other party and will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact of the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected subscription upon written notice, and Onederous will refund any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the subscription term after the termination date. Force Majeure Events do not include labor disputes of the affected party's own employees or general economic conditions.

21. Relationship of the Parties

The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship between you and Onederous. Neither party has authority to bind the other or to incur obligations on the other's behalf. Nothing in these Terms will be construed to create any relationship of exclusivity between the parties.

22. Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right, power, or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of that right or any other right, power, or privilege under these Terms.
