What accepting means. What holding an account means.
The agreement
By using ChatGenius, you agree to these terms. If you're using it on behalf of a company, you confirm you're authorized to agree on its behalf.
Keep credentials secure
You're responsible for keeping your credentials safe. Report unauthorised access to security@chatgenius.net immediately. One person per operator seat — sharing violates the agreement.
You own it. We host it.
Ownership
You own the content you upload — knowledge base documents, prompts, custom instructions.
License to us
You grant us the license needed to deliver the service: host, process, feed to the AI, back up. Non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminated on your termination of service.
Warranty
You warrant that your content doesn't infringe third-party rights (IP, trademark, personality) or violate any law.
What we won't tolerate.
Spam, illegal content, harassment
Using ChatGenius to send unsolicited messages, distribute illegal content, or harass third parties gets your account suspended.
Misleading commercial communications
Impersonating a third party, false-flag advertising, phishing. Instant suspension + report to authorities.
Scraping, reverse-engineering, reselling
No scraping of ChatGenius UIs / APIs beyond documented endpoints. No reverse-engineering. No reselling without an agency agreement (write partners@).
How we bill. What we promise.
Billing cadence
Subscription billed monthly or annually. Overages billed on the next invoice at the rates published on /pricing.
Non-payment
14-day grace period, then service suspension. Data is preserved for a further 30 days.
Refunds
Pro-rated for annual plans, none for monthly. If we cause the outage, we credit downtime against next invoice.
Uptime target
99.9% (43 min/month). Enterprise plans get a contractual SLA (99.95%). Status page: status.chatgenius.net.
Support response
24h for Starter, 4h for Growth, contractual SLA for Enterprise. During US business hours, expect faster.
Maintenance windows
Announced 48 hours in advance via email + status page. Typically 02:00-04:00 UTC.
How this ends. What we do (and don't) promise.
You can cancel anytime
Service continues until the end of your billing period. Data available for export for 30 days after termination, then deleted (backups purge within 90 days).
We can suspend for violation
Acceptable use violation, non-payment, legal order. Reasonable notice given except when law prohibits.
Warranties
Service is provided "as is" beyond the uptime SLA. We don't warrant that the AI's answers are always correct — you retain final responsibility for what you ship to your customers.
Liability cap
Our aggregate liability under this agreement is capped at the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. Excluded: fraud, gross negligence, IP infringement claims (uncapped).
Mutual protection. Governing law.
You indemnify us for KB content
If a third party sues us because of content in your KB — infringement, defamation, false advertising — you defend and indemnify us.
We indemnify you for our IP infringement
If a third party sues you because our platform infringes their IP, we defend and indemnify you (with standard carve-outs for combinations you made with your own tools).
Governing law
Commonwealth of Virginia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Jurisdiction
State and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia. EU customer disputes may additionally be handled per Article 79 GDPR.
