Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between 1001039001 Ontario Inc., doing business as Newsletter Builder AI and operating publicly as lightbreak ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), and any individual or entity accessing or using our products, services, or websites (collectively, the "Platform"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you ("Customer," "you," or "your") agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. The Platform

lightbreak is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that provides AI-powered tools for newsletter creation, content aggregation from sources like RSS and YouTube, sponsorship management, and related analytics and automation features (collectively, the "Services").

We may update, modify, or discontinue portions of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, provided that those changes do not materially degrade the core Services you have paid for during your active subscription term.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform.

When you create an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate information,
• Keep your login credentials confidential, and
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably suspect unauthorized or unlawful use.

3. Subscriptions and payments

3.1 Plans and billing

Access to the Platform requires a subscription on a monthly, annual, or custom plan (each, a "Subscription Plan").

All fees are payable in advance and processed securely through Stripe or another authorized payment processor. We do not store or process credit card details directly.

3.2 Renewals and cancellations

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time, and your access will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.

Payments are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

3.3 Free access

We may offer free or trial access with limited features or usage caps. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate free access at any time.

4. Customer responsibilities

You agree that:

• You will use the Platform only for lawful purposes.
• You will not resell, sublicense, or share access with third parties without our prior written consent.
• You are solely responsible for all content you create, upload, or distribute using the Platform.
• You will comply with all applicable intellectual property, privacy, advertising, anti-spam (including CAN-SPAM and CASL), and data laws in your jurisdiction.

We are not responsible for any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your content, your subscribers, or your use of the Platform.

5. Data and AI practices

5.1 Temporary data processing

The Platform may temporarily collect and process publicly available data, such as RSS feeds, article content, or metadata, for the purpose of summarization or analysis ("Source Data"). This data is not permanently stored, indexed, or redistributed by us.

5.2 Third-party AI and data providers

The Platform integrates with third-party AI and data services, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini ("Third-Party Providers").

We do not control these providers and make no warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or legality of their outputs. You acknowledge that any outputs generated through these integrations are provided "as is."

5.3 User responsibility for AI output

You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated or summarized content before publication or distribution. We disclaim all liability related to the use, accuracy, or consequences of such content.

6. Intellectual property

All rights, title, and interest in the Platform, including software, interfaces, algorithms, and documentation, are owned exclusively by us.

You retain ownership of your original content and Customer Data. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display such data solely to provide the Services.

You may not copy, reverse-engineer, or derive source code from the Platform.

7. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to protect confidential information exchanged in connection with the Services using at least reasonable care.

Confidential information does not include information that:

• (a) is public through no fault of the receiving party,
• (b) was lawfully known prior to disclosure,
• (c) was independently developed without reference to the other party's information, or
• (d) was lawfully obtained from a third party.

8. Disclaimers

The Platform and all Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

We disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Merchantability,
• Fitness for a particular purpose,
• Accuracy or reliability of AI outputs, and
• Non-infringement.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that AI-generated content will be factually accurate or legally compliant.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill.
• Our total cumulative liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount paid by you during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising out of:

• Your use of the Platform,
• Your violation of these Terms, or
• Any content you create, upload, or distribute through the Platform.

11. Term and termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated.

You may terminate your account at any time through your user settings or by emailing us.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if:

• You breach these Terms,
• Your subscription lapses, or
• Your use poses legal or security risks.

Upon termination, your access ends, but clauses relating to confidentiality, liability, and IP rights will survive.

12. Arbitration and dispute resolution

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Platform shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR).

The arbitration shall be conducted in English and may be held virtually or in a mutually agreed location. Each party will bear its own legal fees unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.

Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You waive the right to participate in any class action or jury trial.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

We may enforce judgments or arbitral awards in any jurisdiction where you or your assets are located.

14. Modifications

We may revise these Terms periodically. The most current version will always be available at this URL. Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of those modifications.
