4.2 Legal Authority. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to enter into these Terms personally and, if applicable, on behalf of any entity or individual (including any minor) on whose behalf you are acting. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are an Agency User acting on behalf of another individual or entity, then you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of that individual or entity and that you have obtained permission to access and use the Services on that individual or entity’s behalf. We may require you to provide additional information or documentation demonstrating your authority. You further agree to only take actions via the Services that are within the scope of authority given to you by that individual or entity.

4.3 Affiliates. Customer’s Affiliates may use the Services and exercise the rights granted hereunder only if and to the extent such Affiliate is expressly authorized in an applicable Order Form. Each authorized Affiliate shall comply with the terms and conditions herein, as if it were a Party hereto.

Customer further agrees to be liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliate(s).

As part of the registration process, you will identify a username and password for your Admin Account, and you may designate Authorized Users to access your account and perform tasks via the Services on your behalf. You are responsible for managing the permissions of any Authorized Users associated with your Admin Account, including terminating their access to your account at the end of their engagement with you.

During registration (or in your account settings), you may be asked to identify your account as a Brand User, Agency User, or Talent (or a combination, if applicable). You must select the role that reflects how you intend to use the Services.

Sublimate may refuse, suspend, deactivate, or adjust your account type if you cannot verify your eligibility.  

6.3 Account Security. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, you are responsible for all activity that occurs via your account, whether or not authorized by you. Customers are liable for all actions taken by Authorized Users accessing the Services under Customer’s Admin Account.  It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your account and the information in your account. You may never use another person’s account and you may not provide another person with the credentials used to access your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use (or suspicion of unauthorized use) of your account credentials or your account, or any other breach of security related to your use of the Services. We will not be responsible for any liabilities, losses, or damages arising from or related to any unauthorized use of your account, regardless of whether you have notified us of such unauthorized use. If you need to change the individual or entity that owns an account (for example, due to a company re-organization), please contact us for assistance. Do not simply share your credentials.

6.4 Acceptable Use. You may use our Services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. We are under no obligation to enforce the Terms on your behalf against another user. We encourage you to let us know if you believe another user has violated the Terms or otherwise engaged in prohibited or illegal conduct. You agree not to, and will not assist, encourage, or enable others to use our Services as follows: (i) use the Service in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted in these Terms, an applicable Order Form, or the Documentation; (ii) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services or Documentation, in whole or in part; (iii) rent, lease, lend, sell, license, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available the Services or Documentation; (iv) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decode, adapt, or otherwise attempt to derive or gain access to any software component of the Services, in whole or in part; (v) remove any proprietary notices from the Services or Documentation; (vi) use the Services or Documentation in any manner or for any purpose that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property right or other right of any person, or that violates any Applicable Law; (vii) use the Services or Documentation for purposes of competitive analysis or to develop, train, validate, or improve (directly or indirectly) any competing product, service, or artificial intelligence or machine learning model; (viii) interfere with, degrade, or disrupt the Services; (ix) access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid incurring Fees or exceeding the usage limits or purchased number of Authorized Users in an Order Form; (x) extract, scrape, harvest, or bulk export any data, contents, AI Outputs, or other information from the Services, except as expressly permitted in these Terms or an applicable Order Form; (xi) attempt to bypass guardrails or safety features of the Services, including by attempting to elicit allowed content or to obtain underlying model prompts, weights, parameters, or other model internals; (xii) use the Services, including any AI Outputs/Generated Assets to impersonate individuals without authorization; (xiii) create, send, knowingly receive, display, transmit, upload, download, use, or reuse any material which is defamatory, obscene, indecent, abusive, offensive, harassing, violent, hateful, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable, provided however, that creative content, entertainment programming, news content, documentary content, and fictional narratives shall not be deemed objectionable solely due to mature themes, violence, or controversial subject matter. 

6.5 Third-Party AI Generation Use; Consent Requirement. Third-Party AI Generation Use of any AI Output or Generated Assets produced through the Services is prohibited by default. Third-Party AI Generation Use may only occur where: (i) the applicable Talent has provided prior written consent specifically authorizing the proposed Third-Party AI Generation Use; and (ii) Sublimate has separately provided written authorization for such use in an Order Form or other written instrument executed by Sublimate. Both consents are independently required; neither alone is sufficient to authorize Third-Party AI Generation Use. Customer shall not, and shall ensure that its Authorized Users, Agency Users, Brand Users, and any third parties acting on Customer's behalf do not, engage in or facilitate Third-Party AI Generation Use except in strict compliance with the foregoing. Where dual consent has been obtained, the applicable licensing and pricing terms — including any premium fees associated with Third-Party AI Generation Use — shall be set forth in the Order Form or a written addendum executed by the Parties, and shall reflect the specific scope, platform, term, and conditions of the authorized use. Standard Sublimate Services pricing does not govern or apply to Third-Party AI Generation Use under any circumstances. Talent may withdraw consent to future Third-Party AI Generation Use at any time by written notice to Sublimate; provided that such withdrawal does not affect any use already authorized and carried out prior to the effective date of withdrawal. Unauthorized Third-Party AI Generation Use constitutes a material breach of these Terms entitling Sublimate to immediate suspension or termination of all access rights in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.     

7. OWNERSHIP AND LICENSES

7.1‍ ‍License Grant. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and any applicable Order Form (including timely payment of all applicable Fees), Sublimate hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license during the Term to access and use the Services (including any authorized APIs) for your internal business and personal use, solely for the following permitted purposes: (i) if you are a Brand User or Agency User, to discover and engage Talent, activate and manage Campaigns, and use Campaign and Licensing Tools as permitted under applicable Scope Agreements; (ii) if you are a Talent or Agency User, to submit Model Training Data, operate and manage an Identity Model, generate AI Outputs, participate in Campaigns, and use the Services to deliver or license Generated Assets; and (iii) if you are an API user, to develop and operate applications or integrations that interact with the Services in accordance with any API-related Documentation.

Third-Party AI Generation Use is governed exclusively by Section 6.5 and, where authorized, by the terms of a separate written agreement between the relevant Parties.

8. SUBSCRIPTIONS 

8.1 General. Access to certain portions or features of the Services requires an executed Order Form or other written agreement between Customer and Sublimate. The Order Form sets forth the applicable Sublimate Package, Subscription Term, pricing, and any additional terms specific to Customer’s use of the Services. If any term in such Order Form conflicts with these Terms with respect to its subject matter, the Order Form will control; in all other cases, these Terms will control. 

8.2 Adjustments. The Services may be configured to allow Customer to purchase additional licenses, quantities, or volumes of Services. Customer is responsible for understanding the Services settings that allow additional purchases. Unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing, any mid-term increases in usage limits, features, or Sublimate Package components will be prorated to align with the then-current Subscription Term.  

8.3 Renewal. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, the Subscription Term will automatically renew for successive renewal terms equal in length to the initial Subscription Term. Either Party must provide written notice of non-renewal, or any requested reduction in scope, at least thirty (30) days before the start of the next renewal term. If Customer reduces its Sublimate Package, or Subscription Term upon renewal, Sublimate may adjust or remove any discounts previously applied.  

8.4 Affiliate Usage. Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of its Affiliates that access or use the Services under Customer’s account or in connection with these Terms. If an affiliate wishes to purchase or use the Services separately from Customer, that Affiliate must execute its own Order Form. Any such Order Form will be subject to Sublimate’s acceptance and access to the Services will be provisioned only upon successful processing of the Order Form. Upon activation,     Sublimate will provision a separate account for that Affiliate. Any Affiliate that enters into an Order Form with Sublimate will be bound by these Terms. 

9. FEES AND BILLING

9.1 Fees for Services. Customer shall pay the Fees applicable to the Sublimate Package and any add-on features selected by Customer, as set forth in the applicable Order Form or the then-current pricing made available by Sublimate. Certain features, tools, or usage tiers, may require additional Fees, which will be disclosed to Customer in advance through the Services or in an Order Form. Except as otherwise specified in an Order Form: (i) Fees are quoted and payable in U.S. dollars; (ii) payment obligations are non-cancellable and non-pro ratable; and (iii) Fees are non-refundable. 

9.2 Discounts; Preferential Pricing. At any time, and for any reason, including in exchange for Customer entering into longer Subscription Term, Sublimate may provide discounts, promotional credits, or preferential pricing for its Services (“Discounts”). The amount and form of such Discounts, and the decision to provide them are at the sole and absolute discretion of Sublimate. The provision of Discounts in one instance does not entitle Customer to Discounts in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate Sublimate to provide Discounts in the future under any circumstances. 

9.3 Credits System. Certain features of the Services may require the use of credits (“Credits”). Customer may receive Credits as part of a Sublimate Package or may purchase additional Credits through the Services. The number of Credits included in a Subscription Term, and the pricing and expiration terms for purchased Credits, will be disclosed through the Services or in an applicable Order Form. Credits may be used only within the Services for eligible features, such as RLHF tools, generation activities, or purchasing and unlocking certain functionality. Credits are non-refundable, non-transferable, and have no cash value. Sublimate may specify whether unused Credits expire at the end of a billing cycle or Subscription Term. Customer is responsible for managing its Credit balance and usage. If Customer believes Credits were deducted in error due to a technical issue, Customer may contact Sublimate for review. 

9.4 Third-Party AI Generation Use Pricing. Standard Fees and Sublimate Services pricing do not apply to Third-Party AI Generation Use. Where Third-Party AI Generation Use has been authorized in accordance with Section 6.5, the applicable fees shall be set forth in a separate Order Form or written addendum executed by the Parties. Sublimate reserves the right to set pricing for Third-Party AI Generation Use at its sole discretion, and such pricing will reflect, among other factors, the scope of use, the platform or system involved, the license term, the Identity Model and Talent involved, and any applicable exclusivity or provenance considerations. No Third-Party AI Generation Use shall commence until the applicable fees and terms have been agreed in writing and the relevant Order Form or addendum has been fully executed by all Parties.     

9.5 Price Changes. Sublimate reserves the right to change the Fees charged for the Sublimate Package at the end of your initial term or then-current renewal term. If Sublimate does change prices, Sublimate will provide notice of the change through, at Sublimate’s option, a pop-up on the Sites or by email to Customer at least thirty (45) days before the change is to take effect.
