This document, the Alpha Terms of Service, is an agreement between DeepCreative Inc. (“DeepCreative”) and you or the person, organization, company, governmental agency, or other entity that you represent (collectively, “Entity”) and governs your use of and access to Alpha App (defined below) developed by DeepCreative. By checking the "I Accept" box or installing, accessing, or otherwise using the Alpha App (defined below), you signify that you (a) are at least 18 years old or meet the minimum age of consent in your state of residence, and (b) have read and acknowledge our Alpha Test Privacy Statement; (c ); (d) have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of the Alpha Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). SECTION 10 CONTAINS PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISPUTE RESOLUTION. AMONG OTHER THINGS, IT REQUIRES THAT ALL DISPUTES (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS) BE RESOLVED BY BINDING AND FINAL ARBITRATION. SECTION 10 ALSO INCLUDES A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WHICH MEANS THAT IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE, YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO SEEK RELIEF IN A COURT OF LAW AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL UNLESS YOU OPT OUT OF THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE WITHIN 30 DAYS. If you do not agree with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, do not access, install, or use the Alpha App. In this Agreement the words "you" and "your" refer to you, a user of the Alpha App. If you are accessing the Alpha App on behalf of another Entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so and have the authority to bind such Entity to this Agreement, in which case “you” or “your” shall refer to you, personally, and each such Entity. This Agreement refers to “we,” “us,” and “our,” all of which are references to DeepCreative. 


  1. ALPHA TEST.  DeepCreative has developed a proprietary software application, which includes an application in compiled code form (the “Alpha App”), as well as all source and object code, executable files, algorithms, methods, processes, techniques, functionality, design, architecture, trade secrets, know-how, documentation, all related information, and white papers, and services derived therefrom, and all improvements, modifications or enhancements thereto (collectively, the “Software"). The Alpha App is in a pre-release state or trial form which means it is not yet suitable for public deployment or production use. This is a closed alpha test, meaning that access to test the Alpha App is being offered to you on an invitation only, confidential basis (the “Alpha Test”). By accessing or using the Alpha App, you acknowledge and understand that (a) there is no guarantee of the availability of the Alpha App, we may discontinue, change, or limit the availability of the Software at any time, without notice; (b) we shall have no liability for any losses or damages arising from or related to your use of the Alpha App; (c) your data or content may be affected by using the Alpha App such that you may not be able to revert back to a prior non-alpha version of the same or similar feature and you may not be able to return or restore data created within the Alpha Test back to the prior non Alpha Test version. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from DeepCreative or through the Alpha App will create any warranty or representation not expressly made in this Agreement. DeepCreative is not responsible for your use of or reliance upon the Alpha App. 


1.1  Alpha Test Period and Termination. The “Test Period” means the period of the time from  December 10, 2024 through December 16, 2024, unless earlier terminated or extended by DeepCreative in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the Test Period, all rights and obligations under this Agreement will immediately terminate except for such terms and conditions that by their nature should survive, including, without  limitation, Sections 2 (DC Intellectual Property), 6 (Confidentiality and Non Disclosure), 7 (Disclaimers of Warranties), 8 (Limitation of Liability), 9 (Indemnification), 10 (Arbitration, Class Action Waiver, Jury Trial Waiver), and 12 (General Terms).


1.2   Using the Software. Your use of the Alpha App is subject to the grant of rights (Section 4) and Limitations (Section 5) below. In order to use the Alpha App, you are responsible for providing an iOS mobile phone with the latest version of iOS installed, a wireless service plan, software, Internet or network connections and/or other equipment or services that you need to download, install and use the Alpha App. DeepCreative does not warrant or guarantee that the Alpha App can be accessed or compatible with your mobile device or with any particular service plan. As part of the features of the Alpha App, you may receive push notifications, messages, picture messages, alerts, or other types of messages in connection with the Alpha App (“Push Messages”). You acknowledge that, when you use the Alpha App, your wireless carrier may charge you fees for data, text messaging and/or other wireless access, including in connection with Push Messages. You have control over the Push Messages settings, and can opt in or out of these Push Messages through your mobile device’s operating system (with the possible exception of infrequent, important service announcements and administrative messages). You are solely responsible for any fees, cost or expense that you incur to download, install and/or use the Alpha App on your mobile phone, including for your receipt of Push Messages from DeepCreative. Additionally, you will need to set appropriate permissions on your mobile device for uploading documents and photos from your mobile phone if you desire to include them as Inputs (defined below at Section 4.1.)

You (or your licensors) will own all data and other materials that are received, directly or indirectly by you or on your behalf including any prompts, queries or commands, data, images, and other content (collectively, “Input(s)”) you introduce into the Software. When using the Alpha App, your Input(s) may be subject to specific format or size specifications and you acknowledge that you may not be able to submit your Input if you do not comply with such specifications. If you do not comply with such requirements, it will impact the Software’s ability to perform as intended. By uploading your Input(s) to the Alpha App, you represent and warrant that (a) you have all rights, licenses, permissions, approvals and consents that are necessary to provide Inputs and for the Software to process the Inputs pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, written consents from every identifiable natural person, living or dead, referred to or mentioned in the Input, in addition to the right to use such person’s name, image, likeness, voice, photograph of such person, (b) that all such identifiable and natural persons have released you from all liability that may arise in connection with the use set forth in (a), (c) that your submission of Inputs to us will not violate this Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, or any laws, rules, regulations, or rights of any third party, (d) we will not be liable to any third party for payment of any royalties, residuals, fees under collective bargaining agreements, or other amounts if we use your User Content (defined below) and exercise the rights you have granted to us under Section 4.3; (e) your Inputs do not include hate speech, nudity, threats, illegal content, spam or unsolicited messages, any content that is discriminatory, excessively violent, abusive, tortious, libelous, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable,  (f) your Inputs do not violate the confidentiality of any third party; and (g) your Inputs do not contain data or other material that a governmental body would consider classified or sensitive..


The Software is designed to provide results in response to your Inputs, which may include Flash applications (“Flash Apps”) created from your Input commands (all such results are collectively referred to as “Output(s)”) (Inputs and Outputs, including Flash Apps, are collectively, “User Content”).
