Terms of Service

Welcome to GlyphBots. By accessing or using our website, smart contracts, and related services, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the services.

1. Service Overview

GlyphBots provides: (a) a digital art collection of onchain Bots; (b) tools to generate AI-based images, text, and other outputs ("Artifacts"); and (c) optional minting and marketplace integrations. You are responsible for your wallet, keys, and on-chain activity.

1.1 Definitions

• "Bot" means an NFT from the GlyphBots onchain collection.
• "Artifact" means AI-generated output (e.g., image, text) created via our tools.
• "Credits" means utility units recorded in our database used to access generation features.
• "Mint" means recording an Artifact or Bot onchain via a smart contract.
• "Owner" means the current holder of an NFT as recorded on the applicable blockchain.
• "Wallet" means your cryptographic account used to interact with smart contracts.

1.2 Eligibility and Accounts

You must be legally able to use the services in your jurisdiction and be of the minimum age required by law. You are responsible for maintaining control of your wallet and any credentials; actions performed via your wallet are deemed yours.

2. Payments and Fees

Fees paid to generate Artifacts cover compute and service access and are not payments for copyright unless expressly stated. Fees (including gas) are non-refundable except where required by law. You are responsible for taxes arising from your use of the services.

We may change pricing, credit denominations, and fee structures with reasonable notice. Unless stated otherwise, changes apply prospectively and do not affect completed transactions.

2.1 Mint payment to Bot owners for artifact generation (when you do not own the Bot)

If you generate an Artifact using a Bot you do not own, you agree that a courtesy payment of 0.0004 ETH will be paid to the current owner of that Bot. This payment is a goodwill transfer to the Bot owner and does not grant you any legal rights in the Bot, nor does it constitute an assignment or license of any intellectual property. It is separate from and in addition to any generation fees and gas.

2.2 Credits

Credits that you purchase are recorded in our database and associated with your account or connected wallet for use within the service. Credits are utility units, not cryptocurrency or securities; they are not ERC-20 tokens or any other transferable token standard, and you are not entitled to fungibility or exchangeability of credits. Credits are non-transferable between users and may not be sold, traded, or assigned. Credits are non-refundable; however, discretionary exceptions may be made in rare cases—please contact support@glyphbots.com with details if you believe an exception is warranted.

Credits do not expire unless we provide notice of an expiration policy; we may cancel or claw back credits obtained by fraud, abuse, or error. Promotional or trial credits may have restrictions, shorter validity, or different usage terms that will be disclosed when issued.

Credits are not investment products and are not offered or intended to be securities, commodities, or financial instruments. Credits confer no ownership, equity, profit share, dividends, revenue rights, governance, or voting rights, and you should have no expectation of profit or appreciation from acquiring or using credits. There is no public or secondary market for credits, and we make no promise to create one. Credits have no cash value and are redeemable solely for services made available by GlyphBots at our discretion. Credits have not been registered under any securities laws and are not available where prohibited by law.

3. Intellectual Property: Bots

All intellectual property rights in the Bots collection (including art, names, lore, metadata, and site assets) are owned by GlyphBots. If you hold a Bot NFT, you receive a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, and display that Bot for personal use and for resale/listing of the NFT. No rights are granted to GlyphBots trademarks, logos, or brand elements except for factual reference. Derivative works must not imply endorsement or affiliation. Upon transfer or burn of the NFT, your license terminates.

4. Intellectual Property: Artifacts

Artifacts are AI-generated outputs that may be similar or identical to outputs seen by others. By default, all copyrights in Artifacts are owned by GlyphBots.

4.1 Pre-mint evaluation license

Prior to minting, you receive a limited, revocable license to view and privately share preview Artifacts for evaluation only. No commercial use is permitted before minting.

4.2 Minter license (broad commercial)

When you mint an Artifact, GlyphBots grants the current holder of the corresponding Artifact NFT a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (without revenue cap) to use, copy, display, reproduce, distribute, and commercially exploit that Artifact. This license:

• is attached to the Artifact NFT and transfers with the NFT;
• does not grant any rights to GlyphBots trademarks, logos, or brand elements;
• does not include any proprietary model weights, training data, or source code;
• is subject to compliance with these Terms and applicable law.

4.3 License back to GlyphBots

You grant GlyphBots a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, and perform the Artifact (including minted Artifacts) for product operation, promotion, archival, and showcase purposes.

4.4 Prompts, inputs, and feedback

You grant GlyphBots a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use prompts, inputs, and feedback (excluding sensitive personal data) to operate, improve, and showcase the services and outputs. You represent you have necessary rights to your inputs.

4.5 Third-party models and similarity

Artifacts may be generated using third-party models and providers, whose terms may apply. We do not guarantee that your Artifact will be unique or free from similarity to other works.

5. Acceptable Use

You will not use the services for illegal, infringing, or harmful activities; to violate privacy or publicity rights; to misrepresent affiliation with GlyphBots; or to bypass rate limits, security, or access controls. Prohibited content includes child sexual abuse material, incitement of violence, doxxing, malware, and content that infringes third-party intellectual property. We may filter, throttle, restrict, or remove content and access that violates these Terms and may suspend repeat offenders.

6. Marketplaces and Transfers

NFTs are governed by their smart contracts. The Artifact license in Section 4.2 travels with the Artifact NFT and terminates for you upon transfer. You agree to remove your off-chain copies where reasonably feasible after transfer or burn.

7. Disclaimers

The services and all outputs are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including fitness, merchantability, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. AI outputs may be incorrect, biased, or incomplete and are not professional advice.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GlyphBots will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; and total liability arising from or related to the services will not exceed the fees you paid to us in the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

9. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GlyphBots from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your prompts, inputs, content, misuse of the services, or violation of these Terms or law.

10. IP Claims

We follow a reasonable notice-and-takedown process and may disable or remove allegedly infringing materials. Repeat infringers may be suspended.

10.1 DMCA Agent

If you believe content infringes your rights, please send a notice with sufficient detail to support@glyphbots.com. We may request additional information to verify claims.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for any violation of these Terms. Sections intended to survive termination (including 3–11) will continue in effect.

12. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction where GlyphBots is organized, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts or via arbitration as permitted by law and specified by us from time to time.

12.1 Export Controls and Sanctions

You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions or embargoes, and you are not a denied or restricted party under applicable export control or sanctions laws. You will comply with all such laws when using the services.

12.2 Notices and Electronic Communications

You consent to receive notices electronically, including via email, in-product messages, or posting on our website. Notices are effective when sent or posted.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice (for example, 7–14 days) by updating the effective date or posting a summary of changes. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Miscellaneous

Force majeure applies to events beyond our reasonable control. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and GlyphBots regarding the services, and they supersede all prior understandings. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them. No waiver of any term is a continuing waiver. There are no third‑party beneficiaries.
