We operate the website www.useformat.ai (the "Site"), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").

You can contact us by email at team@useformat.ai.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Format, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. If you do not agree with all of these legal terms, then you are expressly prohibited from using the Services and you must discontinue use immediately.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

We recommend that you print a copy of these Legal Terms for your records.

1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Services are for business use only (B2B). The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations (including HIPAA or FISMA). If your use would be subject to those regimes, you may not use the Services. You may not use the Services in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

Our intellectual property

We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks").

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws (and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws) and treaties in the United States and around the world.

The Content and Marks are provided in or through the Services "AS IS" for your internal business purpose only.

Security and confidentiality

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect Customer Data against unauthorized access and disclosure. Our personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations with respect to Customer Data.

Deletion and retention

Upon your request or within a reasonable period after termination of the Services, we will delete Customer Data from active systems. Backup copies may persist for a limited time in accordance with our standard retention cycles (not to exceed 30 days), after which they are overwritten.

Access, export, and subprocessors

  • You may export Customer Data from the Services using available features or by contacting us.
  • We may use trusted third-party subprocessors to support the Services. We remain responsible for their performance, and a current list is available on request.
  • If we receive a request from a governmental or regulatory body for Customer Data, we will, where legally permitted, notify you and limit disclosure to what is legally required.

Data processing

To the extent we process personal data within Customer Data on your behalf, we do so as a processor and you are the controller. If required by applicable law, a data processing addendum is available on request and, once executed, will form part of these Legal Terms.
