Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of HALLMARK.AI's website and invisible watermarking services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

3. Accounts and tokens

Certain features require an account. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for activity under your account. Token balances, pricing, and feature availability may change; we will provide notice where required by law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Upload unlawful, infringing, harassing, or harmful content;
• Attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, or overload the Service;
• Circumvent security, rate limits, or billing mechanisms;
• Use the Service to misrepresent ownership of content or deceive third parties in violation of applicable law.

5. Your content

You retain rights to content you submit. You grant us a limited license to host, process, transmit, and display that content solely to provide the Service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit the content and that doing so does not violate third-party rights.

6. Watermarking and verification

Watermark embedding and check results are provided for informational and rights-management purposes. We do not guarantee detection in every case, and results may depend on file type, transformations, and system configuration. The Service is not a substitute for legal advice or formal registration of intellectual property.

7. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (USD), EXCEPT WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

9. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against claims, damages, and expenses arising from your content, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of these Terms.

10. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for conduct that violates these Terms, creates risk, or for operational reasons. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.

11. Changes

We may modify these Terms or the Service. We will post updated Terms and revise the "Last updated" date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [INSERT JURISDICTION — e.g. "the State of Delaware, United States" or your country of incorporation], excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a consumer located in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction that grants mandatory consumer protections that cannot be contractually waived, those protections will apply regardless of the governing law clause above. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
