6 MODEL OUTPUTS

AI-generated outputs are provided without guarantees of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. AI models may produce inaccurate, biased, or incomplete results.

You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, and using any AI-generated outputs. HALOCORE is not liable for decisions made based on model outputs.

7 SERVICE LEVELS

HALOCORE targets 99.9% uptime for API services but does not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance windows will be communicated in advance when possible.

No specific performance, latency, or throughput guarantees are made unless covered by a separate Enterprise Service Level Agreement (SLA).

8 BILLING & PAYMENT

AI Services: Monthly billing via Stripe. No partial refunds for unused service within a billing cycle. HALOCORE will provide 30 days notice before any price changes take effect.

Digital Products: All purchases of digital products via Etsy, Gumroad, or Cults3D are final. Refunds for digital product purchases are handled through the respective marketplace's refund policy. Due to the nature of digital goods, HALOCORE does not offer direct refunds outside of marketplace processes.

Mobile Apps: Free apps and in-app purchases are subject to Google Play's billing and refund policies. Any paid apps or subscriptions are billed through Google Play.

Freelance Services: Payment for freelance work is processed through the respective marketplace (Fiverr, Upwork, etc.). Disputes are handled per that platform's resolution process.

9 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Your Data: You retain all rights to data you provide to HALOCORE. We claim no ownership of your input data.

Your Outputs: You own the outputs generated by AI services using your inputs, subject to applicable law and the underlying model's license terms.

Fine-Tuned Models: Fine-tuned adapters (LoRA weights, merged models) created from your data are your property. Base model weights remain subject to their original license.

Digital Products: Purchased digital products are licensed for personal or commercial use as specified in each product listing. Redistribution or resale of digital products is prohibited unless explicitly authorized.

HALOCORE IP: The HALOCORE name, logo, website design, app code, and proprietary tools remain the intellectual property of HALOCORE.

10 MOBILE APPLICATIONS

HALOCORE mobile applications are distributed through the Google Play Store and are additionally subject to Google Play's Terms of Service.

Apps may include in-app purchases, subscriptions, or advertisements. All in-app transactions are processed by Google Play and subject to Google's billing policies.

Each app has its own privacy policy detailing data collection and usage practices. These are available from the app's Play Store listing and the HALOCORE privacy directory.

HALOCORE may discontinue or update apps at any time. We are not obligated to maintain backward compatibility or provide updates for any specific app.

11 DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Digital products (STL files, AI prompts, templates, and other digital assets) are sold through third-party marketplaces including Etsy, Gumroad, and Cults3D.

All digital product sales are final. Due to the downloadable nature of these products, refunds are generally not available. If a product is defective or not as described, contact the respective marketplace for resolution.

Digital products are licensed, not sold. You receive a license to use the product as described in the listing. You may not redistribute, resell, or claim authorship of purchased digital products.

Product descriptions and previews are provided for informational purposes. Minor variations between previews and delivered files may occur (e.g., rendering differences for 3D models).

12 FREELANCE SERVICES

Freelance services are delivered through third-party platforms including Fiverr and Upwork. Orders placed through these platforms are additionally governed by the respective platform's terms of service.

Scope of work, deliverables, timelines, and revisions are defined in each order or gig listing. Work outside the agreed scope may require additional orders or negotiation.

Disputes regarding freelance deliverables are handled through the respective platform's resolution center. HALOCORE will cooperate with platform dispute processes in good faith.

Intellectual property for custom freelance work transfers to the client upon full payment, unless otherwise specified in the order details.

13 LIABILITY LIMITATIONS

The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HALOCORE's total liability for any claims arising from use of the Service shall not exceed the total amount paid by you to HALOCORE in the 12 months preceding the claim.

HALOCORE shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities.

14 TERMINATION

HALOCORE may suspend or terminate your access immediately if you violate these Terms, engage in prohibited activity, or pose a security risk.

Upon termination, your data will be deleted within 30 days unless retention is required by law. Fine-tuned model weights will be deleted according to the data handling policy above.

15 CHANGES TO TERMS

HALOCORE reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated with at least 30 days notice via email or prominent notice on the website.

Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.

16 GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
