Last Updated: April 15, 2024

Hello and welcome! These Terms of Service are an agreement formed between you and LIGHTSPEED INTELLIGENCE PTE. LTD. They cover the website available at Tipsy.chat (the “Website”). In these Terms we’ll sometimes refer to LIGHTSPEED INTELLIGENCE PTE.

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Services. Please read them carefully, as they include important information about your legal rights. By accessing or using the Services, you’re agreeing to these Terms. If you don’t understand or agree to these Terms, please don’t use the Services.

Intellectual Property Rights

When you submit Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you own all right, title and interest in and to that Content (including, without limitation, all copyrights and rights of publicity), or that you have received all necessary permissions, clearances, and authorizations in order to submit it to the Services for the uses contemplated in these Terms.

When you submit such Content, you retain whatever ownership rights in that Content you had to begin with. You grant Tipsy.chat, to the fullest extent permitted under the law, a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, transmit, make available, store, modify, exploit, commercialize and otherwise use the Content for any Tipsy.chat-related purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, including without limitation to operate, improve and provide the Services. You agree that these rights and licenses include a right for Tipsy.chat to make the Content available to, and pass these rights along to, others with whom we have contractual relationships, and to otherwise permit access to or disclose the Content to third parties if we determine such access is or may be necessary or appropriate.

While we’re not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, edit, modify and delete your Content at any time and for any reason, including to provide and develop the Services or if we think the Content violates these Terms or any applicable laws.

Characters & Generations. When you create an automated AI character ("Character") using the Services in accordance with these Terms, then as between you and Tipsy.chat, you own all rights in that Character. As between you and Tipsy.chat, you also own any text, images, audio, or video the Character generates ("Generations") that are elicited by you. You grant Tipsy.chat, to the fullest extent permitted under the law, a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, transmit, make available, store, access, modify, exploit, commercialize and otherwise use the Character and all Generations elicited by you for any purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, including but not limited to (i) facilitating other users’ ability to interact with the Character and elicit Generations, and (ii) promoting the Services on- or off-platform.

When you interact with a Character created by Tipsy.chat or created by another user who utilized the Services in accordance with the then-applicable Terms, then you own Generations that are elicited by you from such Character (but not the Character itself or other Generations or other Content, all of which will remain owned by Tipsy.chat or the other third-party owner(s) thereof, as applicable). You grant Tipsy.chat, to the fullest extent permitted under the law, a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid up, transferable, sublicensable, perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, display, upload, perform, distribute, transmit, make available, store, access, modify, exploit, commercialize and otherwise use the Generations elicited by you for any purpose in any form, medium or technology now known or later developed, including but not limited to (i) facilitating other users’ ability to interact with the Character and elicit Generations, and (ii) promoting the Services on- or off-platform.

Services Content, Software and Trademarks. You acknowledge and agree that the Services may contain content or features protected by copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights and laws. In connection with your use of the Services you will not engage in or use any data mining, robots, scraping or similar automated data gathering or extraction methods. If you are blocked by us from accessing the Services (including by blocking your IP address), you agree not to implement any measures to circumvent such blocking (e.g., by masking your IP address or using a proxy IP address). Any use of the Services or content on the Services other than as specifically authorized herein is strictly prohibited. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by us.

The Tipsy.chat name and logos are trademarks of Tipsy.chat (collectively the “Tipsy.chat Trademarks”). Other trademarks used and displayed via the Services may be trademarks of their respective owners who may or may not endorse or be affiliated with or connected to Tipsy.chat. Nothing in these Terms or the Services should be construed as granting any license or right to use any of Tipsy.chat Trademarks without our prior written permission in each instance. All goodwill generated from the use of Tipsy.chat Trademarks will inure to our exclusive benefit.

Third Party Material. Under no circumstances will Tipsy.chat be liable for any content or materials of any third parties, including Characters created by third parties and any resulting Generations. This includes, but is not limited to, infringement of intellectual property rights, errors or omissions in any content, and any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any such content. You acknowledge that we do not pre-screen content and that AI-generated chats, by their nature, are unpredictable and may produce Generations that are inaccurate or offensive. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content or Generations. You should not rely on the accuracy or completeness of statements made in Content or Generations, and if you do so, you acknowledge that it is at your own risk.

You acknowledge that we have the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content (including Content, Characters and Generations) that is available via the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to remove any content that violates these Terms or is deemed otherwise objectionable by us, in our sole discretion.

You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Services provided by you to Tipsy.chat are non-confidential, and that we are entitled to use and disseminate them for any purpose, without acknowledgment of or compensation to you.

You acknowledge and agree that we may preserve content and metadata in compliance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose content and/or metadata if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process, applicable laws or government requests; (b) enforce these Terms; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Tipsy.chat, its users and the public.

Third Party Websites and Services

The Services or third parties may provide links or other access to other sites and resources on the Internet or to third-party applications. Tipsy.chat has no control over such sites, resources or applications and Tipsy.chat is not responsible for and does not endorse them. You acknowledge and agree that Tipsy.chat will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused by reliance on any content, events, goods or services available on or through any such sites, resources or applications. Any dealings you have with third parties found while using the Services are between you and the third party, and you agree that Tipsy.chat is not liable for any loss or claim that you may have against any such third party.

Indemnity and Release

You agree to release, indemnify and hold Tipsy.chat and its affiliates and their officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any and all losses, damages, and expenses of any kind arising out of or relating to your use of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, the release and indemnification described above includes reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says:

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.

If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Disclaimer of Warranty

Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. The site is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Tipsy.chat expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. Tipsy.chat makes no warranty that (i) the Services will meet your requirements, (ii) the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or (iii) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable.

Limitation of Liability

You understand and agree that Tipsy.chat will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or damages for loss of profits including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if Tipsy.chat has been advised of the possibility of such damages), whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Services; (ii) your access, use, creation of, or interaction with any Content, Character or Generations; (iii) your sharing with any third party of any Content, Character or Generations; (iv) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (v) statements or conduct of any third party (including users) on the Services; or (vi) any other matter relating to the Services. In no event will Tipsy.chat’s total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes of action exceed the greater of: (i) $100; or (ii) the amount you paid Tipsy.chat (if any) in connection with your use of the Services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations set forth above may not apply to you. If you are dissatisfied with any portion of the site or with these terms of use, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the Services.

ALL LEGAL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE INTERPRETATION OR PERFORMANCE OF THE AGREEMENT) ("Dispute") WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, USA, EXCLUDING CALIFORNIA'S CONFLICTS OF LAWS RULES. Sorry for putting that in caps, but hopefully you read it carefully. We're talking about serious and reasonably meritorious legal claims, not personal disputes that don't cause economic harm.

If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it shall be resolved by arbitration by the American Arbitration Association’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution in accordance with its Expedited Commercial Rules in force as of the date of this Agreement ("Rules").
  3. The parties will mutually select one arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in English in Santa Clara County, California, USA.
  4. Either party may apply to any competent court for injunctive relief necessary to protect its rights pending resolution of the arbitration. The arbitrator may order equitable or injunctive relief consistent with the remedies and limitations in the Agreement.
  5. The arbitral award will be final and binding on the parties and its execution may be presented in any competent court, including any court with jurisdiction over either party or any of its property.
  6. Each party will bear its own lawyers’ and experts’ fees and expenses, regardless of the arbitrator’s final decision regarding the Dispute.

Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than 14 days after they are posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
