We may offer beta, preview, private beta, early access, or experimental features (collectively, “Beta Features”). Beta Features are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind. You acknowledge and agree that:

The license granted under Section 4.1 (Limited License) is intended for individual or ordinary course business use. AUTHE IT reserves the right to establish, modify, and enforce usage limits, rate limits, submission caps, or other restrictions on the volume, frequency, or manner of your use of the Services at any time, with or without prior notice.

(j) Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you.

As between you and AUTHE IT, you retain ownership of your User Content.

You grant AUTHE IT and its affiliates, contractors, service providers, successors, and assigns a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free, fully paid license to host, store, copy, reproduce, process, analyze, modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works from, display, publish, distribute, and otherwise use User Content for any lawful business purpose, including:

(a) providing, operating, maintaining, supporting, securing, and improving the Services;
(b) generating, validating, and delivering Authentication Output;
(c) quality control, fraud detection, model evaluation, model training, and model fine-tuning;
(d) research, analytics, testing, and product development;
(e) legal compliance, dispute resolution, and enforcement of these Terms; and
(f) marketing and promotion of the Services; provided, however, that AUTHE IT’s use of User Content containing identifiable third-party trademarks in external marketing materials shall be limited to nominative and referential use for identification purposes only.

The foregoing rights include use with or without attribution to you, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

You acknowledge and agree that AUTHE IT may create annotations, labels, embeddings, features, de-identified datasets, aggregated data, and other derivative materials from User Content. As between you and AUTHE IT, AUTHE IT owns those derivatives, as well as any resulting models, model improvements, and related intellectual property, subject to your ownership of original User Content under Section 6.1.

For the avoidance of doubt, de-identified, aggregated, or derivative data and materials created under this section, and models trained using such data, are not considered “personal information” subject to individual deletion requests, to the extent permitted by applicable law. See our Privacy Policy for additional information regarding data deletion.

To the extent permitted by law, you waive (and agree not to assert) any moral rights, droit moral, or similar rights in User Content against AUTHE IT and its permitted sublicensees regarding uses authorized under these Terms.

The licenses and rights in this Section 6 (User Content and IP Rights) survive termination of your Account, subject to applicable law and rights described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that:

(a) you own or control all rights needed to submit User Content and grant the rights in these Terms;
(b) your User Content and your use of the Services do not infringe or misappropriate third-party rights and do not violate law;
(c) your User Content is not knowingly false, fraudulent, or deceptive;
(d) you have all required permissions from individuals whose personal information appears in User Content; and
(e) you acknowledge that User Content may contain third-party trademarks, brand names, logos, or other proprietary indicia, and that AUTHE IT’s use of such content in connection with the Services (including for identification, authentication, model training, and nominative reference) does not constitute infringement of, or require authorization from, any such third-party rights holder.

We may monitor, review, remove, reject, disable, or restrict User Content and may suspend Accounts where we believe necessary for legal compliance, safety, security, or enforcement of these Terms.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant AUTHE IT a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable right to use them without restriction or compensation.

Authentication Output is generated using probabilistic AI/ML systems and may include human review. All Authentication Output (whether produced by AI, human reviewers, or any combination) is a probabilistic opinion only and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or incorrect. Where Authentication Output includes or incorporates human review, such review is also a probabilistic opinion and is subject to the same disclaimers and limitations set forth in these Terms.

Authentication Output is AUTHE IT’s independent informational opinion only. It is not a certificate of authenticity, appraisal, guarantee, legal opinion, insurance determination, or representation by any brand owner.

AUTHE IT is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, licensed by, authorized by, or acting on behalf of any luxury brand or brand owner, including without limitation Chanel, Louis Vuitton, or any other brand referenced within the Services. AUTHE IT does not claim any endorsement, license, authorization, or affiliation from or with any brand owner. Any third-party trademarks, brand names, logos, or other proprietary indicia appearing within the Services are used solely for nominative and referential purposes to identify the goods being evaluated and remain the property of their respective owners. Authentication Output does not represent the views, quality assessments, endorsements, or opinions of any brand owner. AUTHE IT does not act as an agent, representative, authorized dealer, or authorized service provider of any brand.

You agree not to rely solely on the Services for material decisions. You should obtain review from a qualified independent human authentication expert before taking actions based on any Authentication Output.

The Services do not provide legal, financial, tax, insurance, investment, or other professional advice.

You assume all risk arising from your use of Authentication Output and from any decision or transaction you undertake based on the Services.

AUTHE IT is not a marketplace, broker, intermediary, escrow agent, or party to any transaction between you and any third party. The Services provide authentication opinions only. Authentication Output does not constitute facilitation, endorsement, or guarantee of any purchase, sale, resale, consignment, or other transaction. AUTHE IT has no responsibility or liability for any transaction between you and any third party, regardless of whether such transaction was informed by Authentication Output.

As between you and AUTHE IT, AUTHE IT retains all right, title, and interest in and to all Authentication Output. Subject to these Terms, AUTHE IT grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Authentication Output solely for your own personal or internal business reference. You may not reproduce, publish, distribute, sublicense, or publicly display Authentication Output, or use Authentication Output in any third-party listing, advertisement, marketplace posting, or commercial communication, except with AUTHE IT’s prior written consent.

You will not use the Services to:

(a) violate law or third-party rights;

(b) upload content you do not have rights to use;

(c) commit fraud, misrepresentation, or deceptive practices;

(d) interfere with or disrupt the Services or supporting infrastructure;

(e) attempt unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data;

(f) harass, abuse, exploit, or harm others;

(g) authenticate, verify, or evaluate items for the purpose of selling, distributing, or facilitating the sale or distribution of counterfeit, replica, or unauthorized goods as genuine; or

(h) use or present Authentication Output in any manner that misrepresents, overstates, or distorts the nature, scope, or reliability of the Services, including by representing Authentication Output as a certification, guarantee, or definitive determination of authenticity.

Subscriptions and purchases may be processed through Apple In-App Purchase, Google Play Billing, and other authorized payment channels.

If you purchase an auto-renewing Subscription, it will renew automatically unless canceled before renewal in your applicable app store account settings.

You may cancel renewals at any time in your app store account settings. Deleting the App does not cancel your Subscription.

All purchases are final and non-refundable, except where required by law or by applicable app store policies. Nothing in this section limits or modifies any refund rights you may have under applicable app store terms and policies.

We may change pricing prospectively. Changes apply to future billing periods after notice as required by law and platform rules.

You are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, and governmental charges, except taxes based on AUTHE IT’s net income.

For purchases made through Apple or Google, billing, cancellation processing, and platform-specific refund rights are administered by the applicable app store under its terms and policies. AUTHE IT does not control app store billing systems.

You agree that we may send transactional or service-related communications (including account, billing, security, policy, and legal notices) by email, in-app notifications, SMS/text, or push notifications where permitted by law.

Where permitted by law and based on your preferences, we may send marketing emails, SMS/text messages, and push notifications. You may opt out using available unsubscribe or device controls. Where required by law, your consent to receive marketing texts is not a condition of purchase.

By providing your phone number and affirmatively opting in to receive marketing text messages (whether during account registration, through in-app settings, or through any other opt-in mechanism we make available), you expressly consent to receive recurring marketing and promotional text messages from AUTHE IT at the phone number you provide. You understand and agree that:

(a) your consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing any product or service from AUTHE IT;
(b) message frequency varies;
(c) message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan;
(d) you may opt out of marketing text messages at any time by replying STOP to any marketing text message you receive from us, or by adjusting your communication preferences in your account settings;
(e) after opting out, you may receive a single confirmation message, and you will no longer receive marketing text messages unless you re-subscribe; and
(f) opting out of marketing text messages does not affect transactional or service-related communications (such as account alerts, billing confirmations, and security notices), which you may continue to receive as described in Section 10.1 (Service Communications).

For questions about text messaging, contact hello@autheit.com. For information about our privacy practices related to your phone number and communications, see our Privacy Policy.

The Services may integrate with third-party services, including app stores, identity providers, cloud providers, analytics providers, and external AI/model providers. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and policies, and AUTHE IT is not responsible for third-party services.

You may stop using the Services at any time and may request account deletion as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend, limit, or terminate access immediately (with or without notice) if we reasonably determine that:

(a) you breached these Terms;
(b) your use creates legal, security, or operational risk;
(c) your conduct is fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful; or
(d) action is required by law, court order, regulator, app store, or service provider.

Upon termination, your license to access and use the Services ends immediately. Termination does not relieve you of obligations accrued before termination.

Sections that by nature should survive will survive termination, including Sections 6 (User Content and IP Rights), 7 (Authentication Outputs and Risk Allocation), 8 (Acceptable Use), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), 19 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver), 20 (Changes to Terms), 21 (General Provisions), and 22 (Contact).

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, APP, AND ALL AUTHENTICATION OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, OR SECURITY.

AUTHE IT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.

AUTHE IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY AUTHENTICATION RESULT OR OUTCOME. ALL OUTPUTS, WHETHER GENERATED BY AI, HUMAN REVIEW, OR ANY COMBINATION, ARE PROBABILISTIC OPINIONS ONLY AND ARE NOT CERTIFICATES, GUARANTEES, OR STATEMENTS OF FACT.

THE SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED TO FACILITATE, ENDORSE, OR ENABLE THE PURCHASE, SALE, OR DISTRIBUTION OF COUNTERFEIT OR UNAUTHORIZED GOODS. AUTHE IT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING GOODS THAT ARE SUBSEQUENTLY DETERMINED TO BE COUNTERFEIT, REGARDLESS OF ANY AUTHENTICATION OUTPUT PROVIDED.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUTHE IT AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AUTHE IT’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) USD $100; OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO AUTHE IT FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AUTHE IT and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

(a) your access to or use of the Services;
(b) your User Content;
(c) your breach of these Terms;
(d) your violation of law or third-party rights (including intellectual property, privacy, publicity, and consumer protection rights);
(e) disputes between you and third parties (including buyers, sellers, marketplaces, and brand owners) related to your use of the Services or Authentication Output; and
(f) your use of Authentication Output in any transaction, listing, representation, or communication with any third party.

These Terms and all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

If you believe content accessible through the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to hello@autheit.com that includes the information required by 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3), including:

(a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
(b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it;
(c) your contact information;
(d) a statement of good-faith belief that the challenged use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
(e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner; and
(f) your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and may terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

All third-party trademarks, service marks, brand names, logos, trade dress, and other proprietary indicia referenced, displayed, or used within the Services are the property of their respective owners. Such marks are used by AUTHE IT solely for nominative and referential purposes to identify the goods being evaluated. Use of any third-party trademark within the Services does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, authorization, or any relationship between AUTHE IT and the owner of such mark. Nothing in these Terms or the Services grants you any right to use any AUTHE IT or third-party trademark.

Before filing a formal claim, the claimant must send written notice of the dispute and attempt good-faith informal resolution for at least forty-five (45) days. Notices to AUTHE IT must be sent to hello@autheit.com.

Except for claims that may be brought in small claims court and claims seeking injunctive relief for intellectual property infringement or unauthorized access, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under applicable AAA rules.

Unless otherwise required by law, arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, or remotely as permitted by AAA rules.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AUTHE IT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AUTHE IT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM PERMITTED TO PROCEED IN COURT.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@autheit.com within thirty (30) days after first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, account email, and the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.”

For claims not subject to arbitration, exclusive venue is the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction there.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and AUTHE IT regarding the Services.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of future enforcement.

You may not assign these Terms without AUTHE IT’s prior written consent. AUTHE IT may assign these Terms without restriction in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

AUTHE IT is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, labor disputes, acts of war, terrorism, civil unrest, internet outages, and failures of third-party services.

You consent to receive communications and notices electronically.

Except as expressly provided in Section 5.1 (Apple App Store) for Apple and its subsidiaries, these Terms do not create third-party beneficiary rights.
