Terms of Service

Effective upon account creation

THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY. BY CLICKING THE BUTTON TO JOIN OUR APPLICATION, YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THIS AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE FULL LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO IT.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE PLATFORM OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT WITH US.

This agreement for use of the HUMAN HIVE application (together with any associated software applications, database structures and queries, interfaces, websites, webpages, tools, and the like), as updated from time to time (the “Platform”), is between Mitchem Interactive, Inc. (“Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) and the party who clicks to accept this agreement (“you,” “your”).

1. Registration

You create an account with us via initial use of the Platform and/or the account registration process (the “Registration”). You represent that the information provided in the Registration is true and complete, and you agree to update the Registration upon any changes. The Registration is incorporated herein and made a part of this agreement. Each subsequent use of the Platform is subject to this agreement and does not create a new or separate contract; however, when an amended version of this agreement is presented for acceptance, acceptance of the amended version will amend this agreement.

2. Use of the Platform

License

Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, Company grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license during the Term to (i) access and use the Platform, and (ii) access Company’s Content via the Platform, in each case for your personal, non-commercial use. Company reserves for itself and its licensors all rights not expressly granted to you.

Updates

We may update the Platform at any time, and you agree that the updated version may be automatically deployed to your device. You consent to such automatic upgrading and agree that the terms of this agreement will apply to all updates and versions of the Platform.

Limitations

Your access to the Platform and Content will depend on your subscription tier. We currently offer subscription tiers which include: (i) the ability to create and maintain Avatars; (ii) unlimited chat interactions with your Avatars; (iii) the ability to share Avatars as described below; and (iv) access to the Voice Features.

Avatars

The Platform enables you to create AI-generated, text-based personality simulations based on inputs you provide (“Avatars”). The Platform may also permit you to generate a synthetic voice for an Avatar by uploading audio samples (“Voice Features”). Avatars communicate through text-based chat and, where enabled, AI-generated voice output.

Nature of Avatars

Avatars are generated based on your responses to a guided questionnaire. Avatars may be based on: (1) a real individual; (2) a fictional character; (3) a public figure; or (4) an original or composite personality of your own design. Regardless of source material, all Avatars are AI-generated simulations. No Avatar represents, embodies, or speaks for any real person, living or deceased. Statements made by an Avatar are not statements of the person the Avatar may resemble. All Avatars are user-generated and user-directed.

Sharing of Avatars

The Platform permits you to share Avatars you have created with other subscribers (“Shared Users”). You may only share Avatars with users on your “Friends” list. Only the original creator of an Avatar may share that Avatar. If an Avatar has been shared with you, you may not re-share it. You may revoke a Shared User’s access at any time. Any modifications to an Avatar will be reflected for all Shared Users.

If you are a Shared User, you acknowledge that: (a) the Avatar was created by another user, not by Company; (b) Company does not endorse or verify Avatars shared with you; (c) if you have “read” access, you are viewing conversation history generated by the creator; and (d) your access may be revoked at any time.

By sharing an Avatar, you represent that: (a) you have reviewed the Avatar content and take responsibility for it; (b) you are not sharing it to harass, embarrass, or harm any person; and (c) you will not share it with anyone you have reason to believe will use it in violation of this agreement.

Permissions

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, licenses, permissions, and consents to create Avatars, use the Voice Features, and provide User Content, including the consent of any person whose name, image, likeness, or voice is reflected in an Avatar. Your use of the Platform must not infringe the rights of any third parties.

Removal and Modifications

Company may remove, restrict, suspend, or modify any Avatar at its sole discretion at any time without prior notice, including in response to complaints or legal demands. You have no right to the continued existence or availability of any Avatar. Removal of an Avatar will not entitle you to any refund, credit, or compensation.

Avatar Restrictions

You shall not: (1) use an Avatar to impersonate any person for fraudulent or harmful purposes; (2) create an Avatar that is sexually explicit, pornographic, or obscene, or engage in sexual or romantic roleplay with any Avatar; (3) represent that an Avatar is qualified to provide professional advice of any kind; (4) create an Avatar for the purpose of mocking, stalking, intimidating, harassing, or causing emotional distress; (5) use an Avatar to create or disseminate false information or fabricated quotations; (6) create any Avatar based on or intended to represent any individual under the age of 18; (7) share an Avatar with anyone who is not an authorized subscriber; (8) create or use an Avatar in connection with health care, mental health care, therapy, or counseling; or (9) attempt to manipulate, deceive, or jailbreak any Avatar to produce prohibited content.

Third-Party Materials

The Platform may display or link to third-party content (“Third-Party Materials”). Company is not responsible for Third-Party Materials, including their accuracy, legality, or quality. Third-Party Materials are provided solely as a convenience, and you access them at your own risk.

Suspension

If you breach this agreement, Company may suspend or limit your access to the Platform or specific features. If Company suspends your access for cause, you will not be entitled to any refund, credit, or compensation.
