Section 1 - Description
Service Components that include “API” in their names are referred to in this Agreement as “APIs”. Service Components that include “Model Builder” in their names are referred to in this Agreement as “Model Builders”.
This Agreement includes important obligations related to privacy, End Users, and Data in sections 4-8. Your software application that adds primary and significant functionality to APIs and that is not primarily a substitute for one or more Service Components (“Application”) may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and subject to Seasalt.ai granting you access to the applicable Service Components, interact with the APIs.
Please read them carefully. In this Agreement: “Data” means all data, including all text, audio, and images (including video), that are provided to Seasalt.ai by you or any other user of the Seasalt.ai software.
You agree to subscribe to the APIs you use by way of the Seasalt.ai subscription service provided by Seasalt.ai for that purpose (“the Marketplace Service”).
Section 2 – Acceptance of Terms
This Agreement is a contract between you and the Seasalt.ai company.
You can view the most current version of this Agreement on the relevant API's webpage of the Marketplace Service (the “API Webpage”).
Seasalt.ai may update this Agreement by posting new terms and conditions on this page. The new terms and conditions will automatically take effect and apply to your use of the Service Components after 30 days from posting. If you do not accept the new terms and conditions, you must stop using the Service Components within the 30-day period from the posting of the new terms and conditions. Your use of certain elements of the Service Components may be subject to additional guidelines, posted notices, codes of conduct, or the terms for the applicable Marketplace Service. These are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
By creating an account or accepting this Agreement, you represent that you are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority where you live, if that is more than 18 years of age. If you are under 18 or have not reached such age of majority, your parent or legal guardian must set up an account on your behalf and accept this Agreement.
The Service Components are intended to function as described in the associated documentation, but please note that the Service Components are a preview and that Seasalt.ai does not provide warranties or a service level agreement for the Service Components. This Agreement limits our liability in sections 12 and 16. Please read them carefully.
Section 3 - License
During the term of your subscription and subject to your compliance with this Agreement (and only if Seasalt.ai has granted you access to the applicable Service Component), Seasalt.ai provides you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sublicensable, worldwide license to:
  • use Seasalt.ai products to build models to deploy as corresponding APIs;
  • transmit data to, and receive results from, the APIs, limited solely to your own use within your Application;
  • make your Application available to others, if the Application is accompanied by an acknowledgment and privacy statement for End Users of the Application that complies with this Agreement; and
  • use the other Service Components solely in support of you exercising your rights in this Agreement.
Seasalt.ai will provide you with the means for obtaining unique access credentials to access: (a) the Seasalt.ai products and (b) the APIs, solely for the purposes stated in this Agreement. You are solely responsible for: (a) keeping your access credentials confidential; (b) any and all activities that occur under your access credentials; and (c) any and all use of the API keys Seasalt.ai provides to you. You must promptly notify Seasalt.ai of any unauthorized use of your access credentials, your API keys, or any other breach of security. Seasalt.ai will not be liable for any loss that you incur if someone else uses your access credentials or API keys, either with or without your knowledge. However, you could be held liable for losses incurred by Seasalt.ai or another party if someone else uses your access credentials or API keys.
Additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to portions of the Service Components may be set forth in the Third Party Notices file accompanying the Service Components. In addition to any terms and conditions of any third party license identified in the Third Party Notices file, the disclaimer of warranty and limitation on and exclusion of remedies and damages provisions of this agreement shall apply to all the Service Components.

Section 27 - Payment
The fees, if any, for using Seasalt.ai’s Service Components are set forth on Seasalt.ai’s websites which may be modified by Seasalt.ai. Continued use of the Service Components and the non-termination of your account with Seasalt.ai after fee changes are posted to the website constitutes your acceptance of the prices as modified. You agree to pay all fees fully and promptly.
The fees, if any, for the Service Components must be paid in advance. The credit card information provided to Seasalt.ai or a third party payment processor to pay for the Service Components shall be automatically charged for the Service Components upon renewal. In the event that Seasalt.ai or a third party payment processor is unable to bill the credit card on file or you request that Seasalt.ai not bill the credit card, you shall be solely responsible for any renewal payment required. In the event that payment is not made, Service Components may become unavailable to you and Seasalt.ai may terminate this Agreement without notice to you.
If any charges are rejected by your credit card issuer then Seasalt.ai may deactivate your account until payment is successfully received. Seasalt.ai may deactivate any account that has a disputed charge until Seasalt.ai, in its sole discretion, determines the dispute resolved.
You must provide Seasalt.ai notice of any billing problems or disputes within sixty (60) days after they first appear on the statement you receive from your bank, credit card company, or other billing company. Failure to notify Seasalt.ai of the problem within the sixty (60) day period will result in your acceptance of the charges and you waive the right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges.
