These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to your use of Fuse for individuals, along with any associated software applications, technology and websites ("Services"), including personal, non-commercial use of our Services by consumers. You form a contract with us when you confirm that you accept these Terms or when you otherwise use the Services.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it does not form part of these Terms, it is an important document that you should read.

Using our Services

What you can do. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you may access and use our Services. In using our Services, you must comply with all applicable laws as well as the Service-specific terms and policies listed above.

What you cannot do. You may not use our Services for any illegal, harmful, or abusive activity. For example, you are prohibited from:

Using our Services in a way that infringes, misappropriates or violates anyone's rights.
Misusing our reporting or appeals processes, including providing manifestly unfounded submissions.
Modifying, copying, leasing, selling or distributing any of our Services.
Attempting to or assisting anyone to reverse engineer, decompile or discover the source code or underlying components of our Services, including our models, algorithms, or systems (except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law).

Representing that Output was human-generated when it was not.
Interfering with or disrupting our Services, including circumventing any rate limits or restrictions or bypassing any protective measures or safety mitigations we put on our Services.
Using Output to develop models that compete with Fuse.

Third party Services. Our services may include third party software, products, or services, ("Third Party Services") and some parts of our Services, like our browse feature, may include output from those services ("Third Party Output"). Third Party Services and Third Party Output are subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for them.

Feedback. We appreciate your feedback about our Services, but you agree that we may use it to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, without compensation to you.

Content

Your content. You may provide input to the Services ("Input"), and receive output from the Services based on the Input ("Output"). Input and Output are collectively "Content". You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licences, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.

Ownership of content. As between you and Fuse, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. We hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output.

Similarity of content. Due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, Output may not be unique and other users may receive similar output from our Services. Our assignment above does not extend to other users' output or any Third Party Output.

Our use of content. We can use your Content worldwide to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies and keep our Services safe.

Content moderation. We use automated systems and human review to identify and address content that violates our Terms, including our Usage Policies. If we become aware of violations, we may remove or restrict content, limit your access to features, or suspend or terminate your account.

Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may in some situations result in Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.

When you use our Services you understand and agree:

Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them.
Our Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent Fuse's views. If Output references any third party products or services, it doesn't mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with Fuse.

Our IP rights

We and our affiliates own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services.

General terms

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms. We may assign or transfer our rights or obligations under these Terms to any affiliate or subsidiary or any successor in interest of any business associated with our Services. If we do, any rights you have as a consumer will not be affected. If you are not satisfied, you have the right to terminate your relationship with Fuse and stop using our Services at any time.

Changes to these Terms or our Services. We are continuously working to develop and improve our Services. We may update these Terms or our Services accordingly from time to time. For example, we may make changes to these Terms or the Services due to:

Changes to the law or regulatory requirements.
Security or safety reasons.
Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Changes we make in the usual course of developing our Services.
To adapt to new technologies.

We will give you at least 30 days advance notice of changes that materially adversely impact you and the date that they will come into force either via email or an in-product notification. Any changes will only apply to our relationship going forward. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our Services.

Delay in enforcing these Terms. If we or you delay enforcing a provision of these Terms, either of us can still enforce it later, and it will not prevent us or you from taking steps against the other at a later date. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not affect the enforceability of any other part of these Terms.

Trade controls. You must comply with all applicable trade laws, including sanctions and export control laws. Our Services may not be used in or for the benefit of, or exported or re-exported to (a) any U.S. embargoed country or territory or (b) any individual or entity with whom dealings are prohibited or restricted under applicable trade laws. Our Services may not be used for any end use prohibited by applicable trade laws, and your Input may not include material or information that requires a government licence for release or export.

Governing law. The law of the jurisdiction where you are a resident will govern these Terms.

Breach of contract. If you reside in the United Kingdom, you may have the right to bring a claim for breach of contract if we take certain actions—against your Content or your account—that are in breach of these Terms.

Business use of the Services addendum

Commercial and business use. If you use our Services for commercial or business use, the following terms apply. In the event of a conflict between this Business Use of the Services Addendum and the rest of these Terms, this Addendum shall take precedence.

Limitation of liability. NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA OR OTHER LOSSES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Some countries and states do not allow the disclaimer of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some or all of the terms above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights. In that case, these Terms only limit our responsibilities to the maximum extent permissible in your country of residence.

FUSE'S AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS ADDENDUM.

If you are a business or organisation, to the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our personnel, from and against any costs, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) from third party claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Services and Content or any violation of these Terms.
