3. User Content and Publicity

1. Sharing User Content. Our Services may allow you and other users to post or share content, including reviews, messages, text, photos, videos and other materials (collectively, “User Content”). If you post or share any User Content, you grant Para a perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, fully paid, and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly or otherwise perform and display, and exploit your User Content and any name, voice, image, personality, or other likeness provided in connection with your User Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed, without compensation to you or any third party. You hereby irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of materials regarding User Content that you may have under any applicable law or under any legal theory. Except for the foregoing license, you retain all rights (including ownership) in and to your User Content.
2. Input and Output. Our Services may also allow you to provide input to the Services (“Input”) and receive output from the Services based on the Input (“Output”). Input and Output are also collectively referred to as User Content. You are responsible for User Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to the Services. As between you and Para, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. Para hereby assigns to you all Para’s right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output. Due to the nature of the Services and artificial intelligence generally, output may not be unique and other users may receive similar output from the Services. Para may use User Content to provide, maintain, develop, and improve the Software, comply with applicable law, enforce Para’s terms and policies, and keep the Services safe.
3. Accuracy. When you use our Services you understand and agree:

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. We are constantly working to improve our Services to make them more accurate, reliable, safe, and beneficial. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may, in some situations, result in Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts. 
• Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
• You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
• You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them. 
• Our Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent Para’s views. If Output references any third party products or services, it doesn’t mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with Para.

4. Restrictions. You may not create, share or display any User Content for which you do not have all the rights necessary to grant us the license described above, and you represent and warrant that your User Content, and our use of such User Content as permitted by these Terms, will not violate any rights of any person or entity, including any third-party rights, or cause injury to any person or entity.

Enforcement of this Section 3 is solely at Para’s discretion, and failure to enforce this section in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in other instances. This section does not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation that our Services will not contain any content that is prohibited by these Terms or that objectionable material will be promptly removed after it has been posted. 
6. Review. We do not undertake to review all User Content, and we expressly disclaim any duty or obligation to undertake any monitoring or review of any User Content. Although we have no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor User Content, we may:

• Delete or remove User Content or refuse to post any User Content at any time and for any reason with or without notice, including without limitation for any violations of applicable law or these Terms; 
• Terminate or suspend your access to all or part of our Services if your User Content is reasonably likely, in our sole determination, to violate applicable law or these Terms; 
• Take any action with respect to your User Content that is necessary or appropriate, in Para’s sole discretion, to ensure compliance with applicable law and these Terms or to protect any third-party rights, including third-party intellectual property and privacy rights (e.g., providing information to copyright owners in furtherance of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) takedown requests); and

1. Our Services may rely on or interoperate with third-party products and services, including, without limitation, data storage services, communications technologies, IoT platforms, and internet and mobile operators (collectively, “Third-Party Materials”). These Third-Party Materials are beyond our control, but their operation may impact, or be impacted by, the use and reliability of our Services. You acknowledge that (i) the use and availability of our Services is dependent on third-party product vendors and service providers and (ii) these Third-Party Materials may not operate reliably 100% of the time, which may impact the way that our Services operate.
2. Your access to and use of such Third-Party Materials may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and policies (including terms of service or privacy policies of the applicable third party). You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining any computer hardware, equipment, network services and connectivity, telecommunications services, and other products and services necessary to use our Services.

11. Disclaimer and Release

1. Disclaimer. YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES, CONTENT OR MATERIALS PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A WRITING BY US AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, OUR SERVICES AND ANY SERVICES, CONTENT OR MATERIALS PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND PARA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, PARA DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OR CONTENT PROVIDED THEREIN OR THEREWITH (INCLUDING THE THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS) WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED.

YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE THAT ANY USE OF OUTPUTS FROM THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND YOU WILL NOT RELY ON OUTPUT AS A SOLE SOURCE OF TRUTH OR FACTUAL INFORMATION, OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.
2. Release. YOU HEREBY SPECIFICALLY, FULLY AND FOREVER RELEASE, COVENANT NOT TO SUE, DISCHARGE, AND INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE PARA PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 10) RELATED TO DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS AND THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAIVER MEANS YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO BRING ANY CLAIMS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL INJURIES, DEATH, DISEASE OR PROPERTY LOSSES, OR ANY OTHER LOSS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLAIMS FOR NEGLIGENCE, AND YOU GIVE UP ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE TO SEEK DAMAGES, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEN OR UNFORESEEN.

If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, 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.”

3. Beneficiaries. ALL DISCLAIMERS AND RELEASES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION 11 AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS) ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF PARA, THE OTHER PARA PARTIES, AND PARA’S RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. 

12. Limitation of Liability

1. Waiver of Certain Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Para and the other Para Parties will not be liable to you under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive, or special damages or lost profits, even if Para or the other Para Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
2. Liability Cap. The total liability of Para and the other Para Parties to you (whether occurring under these Terms or otherwise), regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid by you to use our Services giving rise to the claim or $100 USD, whichever is greater.

‍

3. Exclusions. The limitations set forth in this Section 12 will not limit or exclude liability for the gross negligence, fraud, or intentional misconduct of Para or the other Para Parties or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND PARA TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND PARA FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND PARA AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. PARA AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. 

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

1. Arbitrable Claims. For any dispute or claim that you have against Para, that Para has against you or that you have, or Para has, in each case arising from, relating to, or stemming from these Terms, our Services or any aspect of the relationship between you and Para as relates to these Terms or our Services, including any privacy or data security claims (collectively, “Arbitrable Claims,” and each an “Arbitrable Claim”), you and Para agree to attempt to first resolve the Arbitrable Claim informally via the following process. If you assert an Arbitrable Claim against Para, you will first contact Para by sending a written notice of your Arbitrable Claim (“Claimant Notice”) to Para by certified mail addressed to 191 University Blvd # 295, Denver, CO 80206 or by email to info@usepara.com. The Claimant Notice must (i) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Para asserts an Arbitrable Claim against you, Para will first contact you by sending a written notice of Para’s Arbitrable Claim (“Para Notice”), and each of a Claimant Notice and Para Notice, a “Notice”) to you via email to the primary email address associated with your account. The Para Notice must (A) include the name of a Para contact and the contact’s email address and telephone number; (B) describe the nature and basis of the Arbitrable Claim; and (C) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Para cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Arbitrable Claim within thirty (30) days after you or Para receives such a Notice, then either party may submit the Arbitrable Claim to binding arbitration as set forth below. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for thirty (30) days from the date that either you or Para first send the applicable Notice so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.
2. Binding Arbitration. Except for (i) individual disputes that qualify for small claims court or (ii) any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual property rights of you or Para, including any disputes in which you or Para seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of your or Para’s intellectual property rights or other infringement of your or Para’s intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”), all Arbitrable Claims, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, including, with respect to Arbitrable Claims that are not related to intellectual property or intellectual property rights but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with Section 13(a) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Such Arbitrable Claims include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court.
3. Governance. These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., to the extent permitted by law.
4. Submission. All Arbitrable Claims must be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be resolved through binding arbitration before one arbitrator. If you are a consumer, the then-current version of the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply, which are available on the AAA’s website (adr.org), as amended by these Terms as follows:some text
   1. YOU AND PARA AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AND PARA ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and, except as described below for the additional procedures to govern if twenty-five (25) or more similar or coordinated claims are asserted against Para or you by the same or coordinated counsel, may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
   2. For any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the consumer filing fee, and Para will pay the remaining AAA fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Para, Para will pay all AAA fees and costs.
   3. For all arbitrations where the claims asserted are $25,000 or less, the arbitration shall be resolved according to the AAA’s Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission, and for all other arbitrations the following procedure will apply: (a) the arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate; (b) any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances; and (c) if the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. 

‍

4. If you or Para submits a dispute to arbitration and the arbitrator orders any exchange of information, you and Para agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and/or other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and Para agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, and/or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.  
5. The arbitrator’s decision will follow these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
6. The AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule will apply if twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Para or against you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated. In addition to the application of the AAA Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings and the AAA Multiple Consumer Case Filing Fee Schedule, you and Para understand and agree that when twenty-five (25) or more similar claims are asserted against Para or you by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise resolved, your or Para’s Arbitrable Claim might be delayed. For such coordinated actions, you and Para also agree to the following coordinated bellwether process. Counsel for the claimants and counsel for Para shall each select ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed first in individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. If the parties are unable to resolve the remaining cases after the conclusion of the initial twenty (20) proceedings, each side shall select another ten (10) cases (per side) to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a second bellwether process. The remaining cases shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any AAA fees be assessed in connection with those cases until they are selected to proceed to individual arbitration proceedings as part of a bellwether process. A single arbitrator shall preside over each case. Only one case may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise. This staged process shall continue, consistent with the parameters identified above, until all the claims included in these coordinated filings, including your case, are adjudicated or otherwise resolved. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled for claims subject to this staged process from the time the first cases are selected for a bellwether process until the time your case is selected for a bellwether process, withdrawn, or otherwise resolved. A court shall have authority to enforce this paragraph and, if necessary, to enjoin the mass filing or prosecution of arbitration demands against Para or you.

5. One Year to Assert Claims. To the extent permitted by law, any Arbitrable Claim by you or Para relating in any way to these Terms, our Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you and Para as relates to these Terms or our Services, must be filed within one year after such Arbitrable Claim arises; otherwise, the Arbitrable Claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Para will not have the right to assert the Arbitrable Claim.
6. Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt-out via email at info@usepara.com or by certified mail addressed to 191 University Blvd # 295, Denver, CO 80206. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 14.
7. Severability. If any portion of this Section 13 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 13 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 13; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 13 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 13 will be enforceable.
8. Other Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Terms, if you reside in any country outside of the United States, you may bring legal proceedings regarding the Terms either by following the arbitration procedure detailed above in this Section 13 or, if given the right by applicable law, by submitting the dispute to an arbitration administrator in the jurisdiction in which you reside. To the extent any proceeding is not subject to arbitration under applicable law, you may submit the dispute to the courts of the jurisdiction in which you reside.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and any claims made hereunder (including Arbitrable Claims) will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, except to the extent preempted by U.S. Federal Law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. If any Arbitrable Claim is not subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 13, then the state and federal courts located in Dallas, Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction. You and Para irrevocably waive any objection to venue in any such courts. If your local law requires that consumer contracts be interpreted subject to local law and enforced in the courts of that jurisdiction, this section may not apply to you only to the extent that local law conflicts with this section.

You also have the right to stop using our Services at any time, and you may terminate these Terms by ceasing use of our Services.

16. Severability

If any portion of these Terms other than Section 13 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable: (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of these Terms; and (c) the unenforceable or unlawful provision may be revised to the extent required to render the Terms enforceable or valid, and the rights and responsibilities of the parties will be interpreted and enforced accordingly, so as to preserve the Terms and the intent of the Terms to the fullest possible extent.

17. Miscellaneous

Para’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms reflect the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements, and understandings of the parties. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity.
