Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between Curiosities, Inc., 11700 Preston Rd. #660-290, Dallas, TX 75230 (“Adveron”, “we”, “us”) and the organisation on whose behalf you create an account or use the service (“Customer”, “you”). By creating an account, accessing the console, or calling the API, you accept these Terms. If you are accepting on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it. If you do not accept, do not use the service.

2. The service

Adveron provides a hosted data API and web console for brand, category, creator, and audience intelligence. The service resolves and enriches information about brands, companies, and public profiles from publicly available sources and licensed data vendors, and returns it to you through the API, the console, or supported integrations. Features, endpoints, coverage, and data sources evolve; we may add, change, or deprecate them, and we will give reasonable notice of changes that materially reduce functionality you are paying for.

3. Eligibility and accounts

The service is for business use by people aged 18 or over. Accounts are organised as an organisation containing teams containing users. The organisation owner and administrators control membership, roles, API keys, and billing, and are responsible for the actions of their users.

• Provide accurate account information and keep it current.
• Keep passwords, session credentials, and API keys confidential; each API key acts with the permissions of the organisation and team it belongs to.
• Tell us promptly at the contact address below if you suspect unauthorised access to an account or key.
• Do not share accounts between people or resell access to your credentials.

4. Acceptable use

You may use the service only for lawful business purposes and in line with these Terms. You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• Use data obtained from the service unlawfully, including in breach of data protection, privacy, anti-discrimination, consumer credit, employment screening, or tenant screening laws. The service is not a consumer reporting agency product and must not be used for eligibility decisions about individuals.
• Attempt to re-identify, de-anonymise, or combine data in a way that harms, harasses, stalks, or discriminates against an individual, or that reveals sensitive characteristics about them.
• Use the service in a way that breaches the terms of the platforms or sources the underlying data originates from, or that circumvents their technical controls.
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the raw data or bulk outputs as a standalone dataset, or build a competing data product from them.
• Scrape, mirror, or systematically extract the console, or exceed the usage limits in section 6, including by rotating keys or accounts to avoid them.
• Probe, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service, or interfere with another customer's use of it.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the service, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable by law.
• Use outputs to train a machine learning model that substitutes for or competes with the service.

You are responsible for determining that your intended use of enriched and third-party data is lawful in your jurisdiction, for holding any legal basis your use requires, and for responding to requests from individuals about your own use of that data.

5. Subscriptions, credits, and billing

The service is paid. Your subscription — its products, price, billing period, and included credits — is set out in the order or checkout you complete. Usage draws down credits: each metered operation consumes credits at the rate published for it, credits allocated for a billing period are available during that period, and usage beyond your included balance is either blocked or billed as overage according to your plan and any usage caps you configure.

Subscriptions renew automatically. Your subscription continues for successive billing periods — monthly or annual, as selected — and we will charge the payment method on file at the start of each period at the then-current price, until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from the billing settings in the console, or by emailing support@adveron.com; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. We will give at least 30 days’ notice before a price increase takes effect on renewal.

• Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing you authorise recurring charges to your payment method. We do not store full card details.
• Invoices and receipts are available in the console. Invoiced accounts must pay by the due date stated on the invoice; overdue amounts may accrue interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum the law allows.
• Prices exclude taxes. You are responsible for sales, use, VAT, GST, and similar taxes, other than taxes on our income.
• Fees are non-refundable except where required by law, and credits have no cash value, do not roll over beyond the period they were granted for unless your plan says so, and are forfeited on termination. We may issue a pro-rata credit or refund at our discretion.
• We may suspend access for non-payment after notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

6. API use and limits

API access is authenticated with organisation-scoped keys and is subject to rate limits, concurrency limits, and fair-use limits that we publish in the documentation and may adjust to protect service stability. We may throttle, queue, or reject requests that exceed those limits or that threaten the availability of the platform for others. You are responsible for handling errors, retries with backoff, and pagination as the documentation describes.

7. Intellectual property and licences

We own the service — the platform, software, models, documentation, trademarks, and all improvements to them. Subject to these Terms and payment of fees, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the service and to use its outputs internally for your own business purposes, including in reports and analysis you produce for your clients, provided you do not redistribute the raw data as a dataset.

You own the content you submit — queries, context documents, uploads, and configuration (“Customer Content”). You grant us a licence to host, process, and transmit Customer Content as needed to provide, secure, and support the service. You confirm you have the rights to submit it. Feedback you send us may be used without restriction or obligation to you.

8. Customer data and confidentiality

Each party will protect the other’s confidential information with at least reasonable care and use it only for this agreement. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy; where we process personal data on your behalf, our data processing terms apply and are available on request. You must not submit special category or sensitive personal data, payment card data, or health information to the service except as expressly agreed in writing.

9. Disclaimers

The service and its outputs are provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty of uninterrupted or error-free operation. Data about brands, creators, and audiences is derived from public and vendor sources and is provided for informational purposes: we do not warrant that it is complete, current, or accurate, and you must not rely on it as the sole basis for a decision with legal or financial consequences.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data, even if advised of the possibility. Each party’s total liability arising out of or relating to this agreement is capped at the fees you paid or owed for the service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to your payment obligations, to either party’s indemnification obligations, or to liability that cannot be limited by law.

11. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Customer Content, your use of the service or its outputs in breach of section 4, or your breach of applicable law. We will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the service as provided by us infringes their intellectual property rights, and will pay damages finally awarded or agreed in settlement. Each indemnity is conditioned on prompt notice, sole control of the defence, and reasonable cooperation.

12. Suspension and termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time as described in section 5. We may suspend or limit access immediately where required to protect the service, its users, or a third party — for example a security incident, an acceptable-use breach, or a legal obligation — and will restore access once the cause is resolved. Either party may terminate for material breach that is not cured within 30 days of notice. On termination your licence ends, API keys stop working, and we will delete or de-identify your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Sections on intellectual property, confidentiality, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and governing law survive.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. Before filing a claim, each party will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by raising it in writing with the other and allowing 30 days for a response. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service and the law change. We will post the revised version here with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify account owners by email or in the console at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not, you may cancel before they take effect.

15. General and contact

These Terms, together with any order you sign and the policies they reference, are the entire agreement between us. Neither party may assign it without the other’s consent, except to a successor in a merger or sale of assets. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. There are no third-party beneficiaries. Questions about these Terms: support@adveron.com.
