You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise exploit any Platform content without our prior written consent. However, any output generated from YOUR uploaded files (extracted text, converted documents, transcribed audio, etc.) remains your property. We claim no ownership or rights over the content of files you upload or the resulting processed output.

You are solely and entirely responsible for all files you upload to the Platform.

THE PLATFORM AND ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ADAWATI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (a) WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. (b) WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT OR OUTPUT. (d) WARRANTIES THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ADAWATI, ITS OWNER, OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, AND CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (a) Loss of data, files, or documents. (b) Loss of profits, revenue, or business opportunities. (c) Damage to equipment or software. (d) Business interruption or work stoppage. (e) Any damages arising from reliance on Platform output for academic or professional decisions. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content that are not owned or controlled by Adawati. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including but not limited to: (a) Violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy. (b) Conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful to the Platform, other users, or third parties. (c) Requests from law enforcement or government agencies. (d) Unexpected technical or security issues. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall continue in full force and effect, including intellectual property provisions, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute resolution.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Platform shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within 30 days, it shall be submitted to the competent courts of the relevant jurisdiction. You agree that any claim or cause of action arising from your use of the Platform must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose, or it will be permanently barred.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Adawati, its owner, operators, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) Your use of the Platform. (b) Your violation of these Terms. (c) Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights. (d) Any content you upload to or process through the Platform. This indemnification obligation survives the termination of these Terms and your use of the Platform.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.
