Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Starlight platform, including its website, chat interface, sandbox environment, and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Starlight ("we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Content Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and references to "you" in these Terms include your organization.

2. Accounts & Authentication

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. During onboarding, you will be asked to provide your date of birth to verify your age. If you are between 13 and 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

Authentication in this environment is handled client-side using local storage. While we hash passwords with industry-standard algorithms, you should not reuse passwords from other critical accounts.

3. License to Use Starlight

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes, subject to these Terms and our Content Policy.

You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except as permitted by applicable law;
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without our written consent;
• Use the Service to train competing AI models or build derivative services;
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices or markings on the Service;
• Access the Service through automated means other than through interfaces we explicitly provide.

4. Ownership of Output

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service ("Input"). You are solely responsible for your Input and must ensure you have the rights to use it.

Content generated by the Service in response to your Input ("Output") is assigned to you, subject to these Terms. You are free to use, modify, and distribute Output for any legal purpose, including commercial use.

You acknowledge that Output may be similar to output produced for other users, and that we make no guarantee that Output is unique, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. You should always review and verify Output before relying on it.

We do not claim ownership of your Input or Output. However, you grant us a limited license to process your Input through the Service to generate Output, and to retain logs of interactions for service improvement, safety, and abuse prevention as described in our privacy practices.

5. User Content & Responsibility

You understand and agree that Starlight does not create, control, direct, or endorse the content you generate using the Service. You are the sole author and publisher of your Input and Output. Starlight is a tool, not a content provider, publisher, or speaker.

You bear full and exclusive responsibility for any content you generate, publish, distribute, or act upon. This includes responsibility for any claims, damages, or legal action arising from your use of Output in any context — professional, commercial, personal, or otherwise.

You acknowledge that Starlight is an automated tool and that Output is generated by an AI model, not by a human professional. Output is not a substitute for professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to legal, medical, financial, engineering, or safety-critical advice. You must not rely on Output for decisions that could result in physical harm, financial loss, legal liability, or other serious consequences without independent verification by a qualified professional.

You agree that you will not present Output as professional advice, and that you will include appropriate disclaimers when sharing Output with third parties who may rely on it.

Starlight does not screen, review, or approve Output before it is presented to you. We have no editorial control over what you generate and act as a passive provider of computing infrastructure. Accordingly, you agree that Starlight bears no responsibility for the specific content of any Output.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to generate, store, or distribute content that:

• Is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable;
• Infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party;
• Contains malware, viruses, or any code designed to disrupt or damage systems;
• Constitutes spam, phishing, or deceptive automated communications;
• Attempts to extract, discover, or reverse-engineer the underlying models, training data, or proprietary algorithms of the Service;
• Impersonates any person or entity, or falsely represents an affiliation.

Detailed rules about permitted and prohibited content are set out in our Content Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms or the Content Policy, with or without notice.

7. Payment & Billing

The Service offers free and paid plans. Paid plan fees are billed in advance on a recurring monthly or annual basis, depending on the plan you select.

All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. If you upgrade or downgrade your plan, prorated adjustments may apply at our discretion.

You authorize us to charge your payment method for all fees incurred under your account. You are responsible for keeping your payment information current.

We may change our fees or introduce new plans with reasonable notice. Price changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle after the notice is provided.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, reliable, or that Output will meet your requirements or expectations.

You use the Service at your own risk. Output may contain errors, inaccuracies, hallucinations, or content that is not suitable for your use case. You should independently verify any Output before acting on it, especially in contexts involving legal, medical, financial, engineering, or safety-critical decisions.

Any reliance on Output is solely at your own risk, and we disclaim all liability arising from such reliance.

We do not warrant that the Service is free of harmful components, viruses, or other code that may damage your systems. You are responsible for implementing appropriate security measures on your end.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Starlight, its affiliates, or their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, successors, or assigns (collectively, the "Starlight Parties") be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not the Starlight Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of the Starlight Parties for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms, the Content Policy, or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you have paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.

The foregoing limitations and exclusions apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose.

You acknowledge that the Service is provided at no cost or at a modest subscription fee, and that the limitations on liability are a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and an essential basis of the bargain.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Starlight Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of or inability to use the Service;
• Your Input, Output, or any content you create, publish, or distribute using the Service;
• Your violation of these Terms, the Content Policy, or any applicable law or regulation;
• Your infringement or misappropriation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• Any third-party claim that Output you generated caused them harm, loss, or damage;
• Any action you take in reliance on Output, including decisions that result in physical harm, financial loss, or legal liability.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent.

Your indemnification obligations survive termination of your account and these Terms.

11. Release

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you release the Starlight Parties from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, and liabilities of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way related to your use of the Service, your Input, your Output, or your reliance on any content generated through the Service.

You expressly waive any rights you may have under California Civil Code Section 1542 or any equivalent statute in your jurisdiction, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

This release is intended to be broadly construed and applies to all claims regardless of when they arise.

12. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Except for claims that may be brought in small claims court or claims involving intellectual property infringement, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Content Policy, or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or equivalent), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

The arbitration shall be conducted in Delaware, United States. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration provision.

Class Action Waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. You expressly waive your right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

You agree that, by agreeing to this arbitration provision, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action or representative proceeding.

This arbitration provision survives termination of your account and these Terms.

EU/UK Consumer Carve-Out. If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area, the arbitration and governing law provisions in these Terms shall not apply to you to the extent they would deprive you of the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. EU/UK consumers retain all statutory consumer rights under applicable local law and may bring claims in their local courts.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time through the settings interface.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or the Content Policy.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and limitation of liability.

14. No Agency & Third Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates or is deemed to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and Starlight or any of its owners, officers, directors, employees, or agents.

You acknowledge that Starlight's owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents are intended third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. They are entitled to directly enforce the provisions of these Terms that benefit them, including but not limited to the disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and release provisions. This means you may not sue or bring claims against any individual owner, officer, director, employee, contractor, or agent of Starlight personally for matters arising out of or related to the Service — your sole recourse is against Starlight as an entity, subject to the limitations in these Terms.

You agree not to name or include any individual owner, officer, director, employee, contractor, or agent of Starlight as a defendant or respondent in any claim or proceeding arising out of or related to the Service. Any such individual shall have the right to enforce this provision and to seek dismissal of any claim improperly brought against them.

15. Force Majeure

The Starlight Parties shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligations under these Terms to the extent such failure or delay is caused by circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, government actions, labor disputes, power outages, telecommunications failures, internet infrastructure failures, or shortages of computing resources.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service or by other reasonable means. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the Terms were last revised.

Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

17. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Except for matters subject to the arbitration provision in Section 12, any dispute that is not subject to arbitration shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

For consumers residing in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the European Economic Area, any dispute shall be governed by the laws of your country of residence, and you may bring claims in your local courts. Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights you have under mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

In particular, if the arbitration or class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, the remaining disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Delaware as described in Section 17.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Content Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Starlight relating to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and agreements, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof.

No amendment to or modification of these Terms is binding unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Starlight (or presented as an updated version of these Terms on the Service).

Our failure to act on or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
