3. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree NOT to use ArcticCodex to:

  • Violate any law, regulation, or third-party rights
  • Automate high-volume requests (bots, crawlers, scrapers)
  • Generate illegal, harmful, hateful, or CSAM content
  • Impersonate others or misrepresent identity
  • Attack or reverse-engineer our systems
  • Resell access without explicit written permission
  • Circumvent usage limits, quotas, or model restrictions
  • Attempt to extract or reproduce training data from responses

Violations may result in immediate account suspension without refund.

4. Data Handling & Retention

4.1 Conversation Storage

We store your conversations to enable chat history and provide better support. You can delete conversations or your entire account anytime.

4.2 Model Training

By default, your conversations are NOT used to train any models, including our own. If we ever implement opt-in training, you will explicitly agree and can opt out anytime.

4.3 Third-Party Providers

When you use a model, your request may be sent to the model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.). Each provider has its own data policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy terms. You acknowledge that model providers may analyze requests for abuse detection and may use anonymous aggregate data for research.

4.4 Data Deletion

You can delete individual conversations or request full account deletion anytime. We will delete your data within 30 days except where required by law.

5. Model Provider Disclosure

ArcticCodex does not generate responses. When you send a message, we route it to a third-party AI provider based on your selected model.

You are responsible for reviewing each provider's terms of use. We are not responsible for model provider outages, content policies, or data handling.

6. Limitations of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS-IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY.

In no event shall we be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost revenue or data. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the last 30 days.

7. Uptime & Maintenance

We aim for high availability but make no uptime guarantees. We may perform maintenance with or without notice. Outages caused by third-party providers are outside our control.

8. Account Suspension

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or engage in fraud. Suspended accounts will not receive refunds.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms anytime. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
