The Starter Set respects copyright and other proprietary laws and expects you to do the same. We reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services if you repeatedly infringe or are reasonably believed to have been repeatedly infringing the rights of copyright or other proprietary rights holders by way of the Services.

You may enter, upload, or submit certain text or other media to the Services (the “Inputs”). You are not required to enter, upload, or submit Inputs to the Services. You are responsible for entering any Inputs into the Services and ensuring they comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws. You represent that you own or have secured all legal rights, consents, and permissions necessary for the Inputs submitted by you to be used by you, The Starter Set, and others as described and otherwise contemplated in these Terms. The Starter Set shall maintain the confidentiality of the Inputs, and shall not sell, disclose, or share any Inputs, in whole or in part, to or with, any third party, except as is necessary to provide the Services (including by sharing with third-party artificial intelligence service providers) and in accordance with these Terms and except to the extent such Inputs are anonymized or aggregated by us in a manner that does not reveal any confidences. You acknowledge that you do not desire and will not receive compensation for any Inputs or for our use of any Inputs you submit. Any Inputs you upload are owned by and assigned to The Starter Set, except to the extent such Inputs are incapable of assignment (for example, your personal information like name, email, and phone number).
The Starter Set will retain ownership over its intellectual property, including but not limited to all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, any artificial intelligence learning and improvement that occurs within the Services as a result of the use of Inputs, the responses to your Inputs generated by artificial intelligence features of the Services (the “Outputs”), a copy of the transcript of any conversation between you and the Services, and any models, algorithms, analytical methodologies, and aggregated insights derived from customer data by our Services.
The Starter Set may use Inputs to improve or operate the Services, for example to train our AI models, curate product recommendations for you, and communicate with you. We may also use Inputs to comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms and policies. For these reasons, you hereby grant to The Starter Set a fully paid, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, nonexclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, copy, adapt, modify, merge, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from and incorporate into other works, and sublicense through multiple tiers, the Inputs (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any information you post to our social media sites like comments, surveys, photos, etc.). You further acknowledge that this license cannot be terminated by you once your Inputs are submitted to the Services.
When you use our Services you understand and agree:
In connection with the acknowledgement of our rights, above, you agree not to:
You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to investigate and prosecute violations of any of the above prohibitions or any of these Terms to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law.
You also acknowledge and agree that we do not have an obligation to monitor your or other’s access or use of the Services, but we retain the right to do so for the purpose of operating the Services and ensuring compliance with these Terms as well as the law. At any time and without prior notice, we reserve the right to disable your access if we find a violation of these Terms or the law.
Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by us. We will determine your compliance with the Terms and the Privacy Policy in our sole discretion and our decision shall be final and binding. Any violation of the Terms or the Privacy Policy may result in restrictions on your access to all or part of the Services and may be referred to law enforcement authorities. We, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to disqualify and terminate access or use of any individual found to be (a) tampering with the operation of the Services; (b) acting in violation of the Terms or the Privacy Policy; (c) acting in an unethical or disruptive manner; or (d) acting with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass us, our representatives, or any other individual in any manner related to the Services.

Payment Options. Most purchases of services or products through the Services (“Purchases”) will occur electronically online and will require a valid, accepted, credit card or other payment method that we or our third-party payment providers elect to accept as payment. You authorize us, or our designated third-party payment provider, to charge the credit card or other accepted payment method you designate in the amount specified in connection with the transaction. If you desire to designate a different form of payment, or if there is a change in your payment information, you must update that information with us or with our designated third-party payment provider, as applicable, to reflect such change. If you transmit to us, or one of our designated third-party payment providers, a purchase request, you warrant that your use of the particular credit card or other accepted payment method is authorized and that all information that you submit to us, or our designated third-party payment provider, is true and accurate (including, without limitation, your credit card number, expiration date, and other account information), and you agree to pay all fees you incur. Certain subscription-based Services may subject you to recurring fees and/or terms. By signing up for any subscription-based Services, including after any free trial period, you agree to pay us the subscription fee and any applicable taxes on a recurring basis until you cancel your subscription. You may experience temporary disruption of your access to the Services while we are verifying new payment information.
Cancellations and Refunds. We, or our designated third-party payment provider, as applicable, reserve the right to refuse or cancel any Purchases or attempted Purchases at any time in our sole discretion. Further, we, or our designated third party payment provider, as applicable, may reverse certain transactions if we have a reasonable, good-faith belief that such transactions, alone or together with other transactions, are illicit, fraudulent, abusive, unlawful, or otherwise conducted in bad faith or as part of any form of unfair dealing (which could include such things as cheating, hacking, or other prohibited activity). Except as otherwise stated in these terms or required by applicable law, all Purchases are final.
Direct Purchase of Products. By placing any order for products directly through the Services, you agree to purchase such products in accordance with these Terms. All orders are subject to acceptance by The Starter Set, and we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order for any reason. All prices displayed on our Services are quoted in U.S. Dollars and are exclusive of applicable taxes. We reserve the right to change prices and availability of products at any time without notice. Any such changes will not affect orders already placed and accepted. Payment must be made using a valid credit card or other payment method accepted by The Starter Set at the time of order. By providing payment information, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us to charge your order to that payment method. Shipping and delivery times are estimates only and are subject to change. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure timely delivery, but we are not responsible for delays caused by carriers or other factors beyond our control. We strive to provide accurate descriptions of products offered on our Services. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions or other content on the Services are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. The Starter Set shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the purchase or use of products purchased through our Services.

Currency. Unless otherwise stated, all fees and charges are quoted and must be paid in U.S. Dollars. Purchases made in currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be made at the exchange rate designated in your agreement with your credit card or other acceptable payment method provider.
Taxes. Your Purchases may be subject to applicable sales tax, use tax, value added tax, or other similar taxes, duties, or tariffs (collectively, “Sales Taxes”). In the event that Sales Taxes apply, we, our designated third-party payment provider, or a Partner, as applicable, may collect the required Sales Taxes from you and remit it to the applicable tax authorities. Under most circumstances, the applicability of Sales Taxes will be determined by the residence of the person or entity making the purchase. We will not be responsible for any taxes on net income, or other taxes, duties, or tariffs associated with your Purchases, except for Sales Taxes as described in this section or as required by applicable law.
These Terms only apply to our Services. The Services may include links to or utilize the services of third-party websites, resources, resellers, affiliate marketers, and business partners of ours (“Third-Party Partners”). Because we do not have control over such Third-Party Partners, we do not make any representations about any Third-Party Partners. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for the availability of the external websites, resources, or services of such Third-Party Partners. Our Services may utilize the artificial intelligence services of our Third-Party Partners, for which we do not take responsibility. We do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products, artificial intelligence, or other materials on or available from such Third-Party Partner websites, resources, or services.

You shall be solely responsible for acquiring and maintaining all telecommunication services, internet services, and other hardware and software required to access and use the Services and Content.

The foregoing limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages (or they are otherwise foreseeable), or if such Claims result from: (a) the use or the inability to use the Services or results of the use of the Services or any materials posted on it, however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract or otherwise; (b) the cost of procurement of substitute products or services resulting from any products, data, information, or services obtained or messages received or transactions entered into through, from or as a result of the Services; (c) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or content; (d) statements or conduct of any third party on the services or Services; or (e) any other matter relating to the products or services we offer or the Services. The foregoing limitation of liability shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that if we are found liable for any of the foregoing Claims or for any other Claims arising hereunder, including the breach of these Terms, we and any other person or entity involved in creating, producing, or delivering any of the foregoing will under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, or the cost of acquiring substitute products or services, whether in contract, warranty, strict liability, negligence, or other legal theory, regardless of whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such Claims, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose, and our aggregate liability under these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Services that gave rise to the Claim during the 12 months before the liability arose or one hundred dollars ($100). The limitations in this section apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
The limitation of liability set forth above is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between us and you. The limitation of liability set forth above shall apply to every form of action, whether in contract, warranty, strict liability, negligence or other legal theory, and shall survive any breach of these Terms or the Privacy Policy or the failure of the essential purpose of the Terms or the Privacy Policy.
Without waiving the exclusive governing law provision set forth below, some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. Therefore, the above limitation may not apply to you. In such states, our liability is limited to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law.
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY US MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold The Starter Set, its members, its managers, its officers, its directors, its employees, and its agents harmless from and against any Claims arising out of or in any way connected with:
You shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. The Starter Set reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter or portion thereof subject to indemnification by you.

The Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any applicable data processing agreement, as they may be amended from time to time, constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between us and you regarding the Services. The Terms and the Privacy Policy supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between The Starter Set and you regarding those subjects.
If any provision of the Terms or the Privacy Policy is found by a court of valid jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms and the Privacy Policy shall remain in full force and effect and shall be enforced to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law.
No waiver or failure by us to enforce any provision of the Terms or the Privacy Policy shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of The Starter Set.

Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. We may assign or transfer these Terms at our sole discretion without restriction and notice to you.

Headings in the Terms and the Privacy Policy are purely for reference and shall not affect the meaning of any term or condition. As used in the Terms and the Privacy Policy, the words “include,” “including,” “e.g.,” “such as,” and variations thereof shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Any provision of the Terms or the Privacy Policy that must survive to allow us to enforce its meaning shall survive termination for any reason. Any Claim by or through you relating in any way to the Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Services, the Content, or otherwise with respect to their subject matter, regardless of form or the basis of the Claim, must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause of action arose) or else such cause of action is waived. A printed version of the Terms or the Privacy Policy, and of any electronic notice pertaining to the Terms or the Privacy Policy, shall be admissible in a judicial or administrative proceeding to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions, as any other contract, document, or record originally in printed form.
The Terms constitute a written agreement between you and us.
Any and all disputes, demands, or Claims arising from or related to your access to and/or use of the Services, our Content, and/or these Terms shall be settled and resolved first by good faith efforts to amicably resolve the matter through discussion and negotiation. If those efforts fail despite such good faith attempts, then such disputes, demands, or Claims, then the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in Seattle, Washington, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
These Terms will be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
If you reside in a country other than the United States, particularly in regions with specific data protection regulations such as the European Union (GDPR), United Kingdom (UK GDPR), or other jurisdictions with similar laws, certain data protection laws in those countries may apply.
