2. Services and License Grants
2(a) Overview of Services. Subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms, Company grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Services during the Term.
2(b) BYOK Pass-Through. Company acts solely as a conduit, routing Customer’s authenticated API requests to Third-Party Providers using BYOK Credentials, as and when made available by Company or if elected by Customer under a separate Order Form. Company is not a party to Customer’s agreements with Third-Party Providers and makes no representations regarding Third-Party Models. Customer is solely responsible for: (i) obtaining and maintaining valid BYOK Credentials; (ii) complying with all Third-Party Provider terms; (iii) all fees charged by Third-Party Providers; and (iv) confirming that its use of the Services is permitted under applicable Third-Party Provider terms. Company encrypts BYOK Credentials at rest, never retains BYOK Credentials in plaintext, and scopes access to BYOK Credentials solely to the active session in which they are used to route Customer’s requests to the applicable Third-Party Provider.
2(c) Pareto License. Company grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Pareto through the Services during the Term, subject to any rate limits or restrictions in the Documentation. Company may update Pareto from time to time; if an update will materially reduce functionality, Company will provide Customer at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice before implementing the update. Customer acknowledges that Pareto blends outputs from multiple underlying models, and Company may modify the composition of underlying models without notice provided functionality is not materially reduced.
2(d) Advance Notice for ZDR Customers. Company will provide Customers that have Zero Data Retention (ZDR) commitments at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice before any change to models, escalation paths, or subprocessors that could materially affect ZDR commitments.
2(e) Account. Customer must create an Account to use the Services. Customer is responsible for: (i) maintaining the accuracy of its Account information; (ii) safeguarding its Account credentials and BYOK Credentials; (iii) all activity that occurs under its Account; and (iv) promptly notifying Company of any unauthorized access to or use of its Account.
2(f) Documentation. Company will make Documentation available describing the features, functionality, and technical requirements of the Services. Customer’s use of the Services is subject to any applicable technical limitations described in the Documentation.
2(g) Routing Configuration. Customer may configure, through its Account settings or an applicable Order Form, the Routing Configuration governing the proportion of Customer’s request traffic that Company routes to Pareto versus Third-Party Models via BYOK Credentials, as and when such functionality is made available by Company. Where Customer enables Company’s dynamic routing feature, Company may automatically direct individual requests to whichever available model Company’s routing logic determines is best suited for that request, based on factors such as historical performance, cost, and task type, and will identify to Customer through the Services which model processed a given request. Customer may adjust or disable dynamic routing at any time. Company’s routing decisions under this Section 2(g) do not affect Customer’s ownership of Outputs under Section 5(a) or Section 7(b), regardless of which model generated the Output.
3. Analysis
3(a) Comparative Analytics. Company may provide Customer with Comparative Analytics, as and when made available by Company or if elected by Customer under a separate Order Form, using Customer’s own traffic rather than a generic or synthetic benchmark. Comparative Analytics are derived from Usage Data (not Customer Content), except to the extent Customer opts into a Model-Graded Assessment under Section 3(b), which evaluates Outputs, and are intended to help Customer evaluate Pareto’s performance and cost efficiency relative to the Third-Party Model(s) Customer uses.
3(b) Model-Graded Assessment. Where Customer opts in, and as and when such functionality is made available by Company, Company may use Customer’s BYOK Credentials to have the Third-Party Model evaluate and score Pareto Outputs. Customer may disable this feature at any time. Because Model-Graded Assessment uses Customer’s Third-Party Provider account, Customer is responsible for confirming this use is permitted under the applicable Third-Party Provider’s terms.
3(c) Public Benchmark Data. Company may also publish general performance and cost benchmarks comparing Pareto to other models, based on Company’s own testing methodology and selected tasks. These published benchmarks reflect Company’s own test conditions and are not a guarantee of the results Customer will experience on its own workloads.
4. Acceptable Use
4(a) Compliance. Each Party will comply with all laws applicable to the provision (for Company) and use (for Customer) of the Services, including any applicable data privacy laws. Customer will ensure that its Users comply with these Terms and the Usage Policy.
4(b) Usage Policy. Customer and its Users may only use the Services in compliance with these Terms and the Usage Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Company may update the Usage Policy from time to time with reasonable notice to Customer. Customer must cooperate with reasonable requests from Company to verify compliance with the Usage Policy.
4(c) Restrictions. Customer will not, and will not permit any User or third party to:
- use the Services in a way that violates applicable laws or third parties’ rights;
- access the Services to build a competing product or service, including to train competing artificial intelligence models, or resell the Services except as expressly approved by Company in writing;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code, algorithms, or underlying components of the Services or Pareto, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law;
- use Outputs to develop, train, or fine-tune any artificial intelligence or machine learning model that competes with Pareto or the Services;
- extract data from the Services other than as permitted through the Services’ normal functionality;
- interfere with or disrupt the Services, including circumventing any rate limits, usage quotas, or other restrictions or protective measures applied to the Services;
- share, sell, transfer, or sublicense Account credentials to or with any third party;
- use the Services to generate content that infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any third party’s IP Rights;
- send automated queries to the Services at a volume or frequency that exceeds the limits set forth in the Documentation or Order Form, or that degrades the Services for other customers; or
- use the Services in connection with any application or system where the use or failure of the Services could reasonably be expected to result in physical harm, loss of life, or catastrophic damage.
4(d) Limitations of Outputs; No Reliance. It is Customer’s responsibility to evaluate whether Outputs are appropriate for Customer’s use case, including determining where human review is appropriate before using or sharing Outputs. Customer acknowledges that: (i) Outputs may not be unique and other customers may receive similar or identical content; (ii) factual assertions in Outputs should not be relied upon without independent verification, as they may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading; and (iii) Outputs do not constitute legal, financial, medical, or professional advice.
5. Customer Content and Data Retention
5(a) Ownership of Customer Content. As between the Parties, and to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) Customer retains all ownership rights in Inputs; and (ii) Customer owns all Outputs. Company hereby assigns to Customer all right, title, and interest (if any) in and to Outputs. Customer acknowledges that, due to the nature of the Services and artificial intelligence generally, Output may not be unique, and other customers may receive similar content from the Services. Outputs generated for other customers are not considered Customer’s Output.
5(b) Customer Obligations. Customer represents and warrants that it has all rights, licenses, and permissions required to provide Inputs to the Services. Customer is solely responsible for all use of Outputs and for evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of Outputs for Customer’s use case.
5(c) Data Use and Retention.
- Pay-As-You-Go Customers. For Customers using the Services on a pay-as-you-go or prepaid Credits basis, Company will not retain Customer Content beyond the time reasonably necessary to process Customer’s request and return the applicable Output, except as required by law or as necessary for abuse prevention and security monitoring for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days. Company personnel will not access prompt or response content except with Customer’s explicit consent or as required by law. Company will not use such Customer Content to train, fine-tune, or improve any model without Customer’s explicit written consent.
- Subscription Customers. For Customers on a Personal, Personal Max, or other subscription plan, Company may retain prompt and response content for up to thirty (30) days for the purposes of abuse prevention, security monitoring, debugging, and product improvement, or as set forth in Section 5(c)(iv) below. Company personnel may access prompt and response content for the purposes of abuse prevention, security monitoring, debugging, and product improvement. All such access is logged, attributable to an individual employee, and subject to the confidentiality obligations set out in Section 8 of these Terms.
- Zero Data Retention Traffic. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Customer traffic designated as Zero Data Retention (ZDR) on the applicable Service offering page (including Customer traffic coming through OpenRouter), or under an applicable Order Form or separate written agreement, Company will not retain or access any prompt or response content after inference is complete, including for abuse prevention or security review. The provisions of Sections 5(c)(i) and 5(c)(ii), and 5(c)(v) do not apply to ZDR traffic. Company will not use ZDR traffic to train, fine-tune, or improve any model.
- Customer-Saved Content. For Subscription customers, Customer Content that Customer chooses to save in the Services (such as chat conversation history, projects, project memory, and file attachments) (“Customer-Saved Content”) will be retained until deleted by Customer; otherwise, Customer-Saved Content will be retained for the duration of the applicable contract plus thirty (30) days, or thirty (30) days after a verified account deletion request, whichever is earlier. The audit-trailed access standard described in Section 5(c)(ii) (logged, attributable to an individual employee, confidentiality-bound) applies to Customer-Saved Content as well as prompt and response content.
- Log Retention on Account Deletion. Upon account deletion, logs containing prompt and response content will continue to roll off on the normal thirty (30) day schedule rather than being purged on request.
5(d) Usage Data. Company may collect, retain, and use Usage Data to operate the Services, generate Comparative Analytics, and improve Company’s products. Usage Data does not include Customer Content or information that can identify specific Inputs or Outputs.
5(e) Third-Party Provider Data Practices. When Customer routes requests through the Services using BYOK Credentials, any data retention, training, or use practices applied by the Third-Party Provider are governed solely by that provider’s terms. Company has no control over Third-Party Provider data practices. Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and complying with applicable Third-Party Provider terms.
5(f) Data Privacy. If Customer uses the Services to process Personal Data (as defined in the DPA), Company and Customer will comply with the DPA, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
5(g) Beta Services. Company may make features or services available on a beta, preview, or early-access basis (“Beta Services”). Beta Services are provided “AS IS” without any warranty, service level commitment, or indemnification obligation. Beta Services may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Customer’s use of Beta Services is at Customer’s sole risk.
6. Fees, Billing, and Taxes
6(a) Fees. Customer will pay Company the applicable Fees for the Services at the rates specified on the Pricing Page or in an applicable Order Form. Fees are based on Customer’s actual usage of the Services (including API call volume and token consumption for Pareto) as calculated by Company’s metering systems, unless a different billing basis is specified in an Order Form. Except as set forth in Section 6(h), fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable.
6(b) Invoicing and Payment. For enterprise or invoiced Customers, Company will invoice Customer as specified in the applicable Order Form. Customer will pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days of the invoice date. For self-serve Credit purchases, payment is due at time of purchase. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable Order Form, subscription Plans are billed for the applicable subscription term in advance. Customer will provide complete and accurate billing information and will promptly update such information as necessary.
6(c) Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, duties, or assessments that may be owed by Customer for use of the Services (“Taxes”), unless otherwise specified in the applicable invoice. Customer is responsible for remitting any necessary withholding Taxes to the relevant authority on a timely basis and providing Company with evidence of the same upon request. Where law provides for the reduction or elimination of withholding taxes, including via tax treaty, the Parties will collaborate in good faith to do so. If any deduction or withholding is required by law, Customer will increase the payment to Company so that Company receives the same total amount it would have received absent such withholding or reduction (a “Gross-up Payment”).
6(d) Invoice Disputes. To dispute an invoice, Customer must: (i) notify Company in writing at [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, specifying the disputed amount and the basis for the dispute in reasonable detail; and (ii) pay all undisputed amounts by the applicable due date. The Parties will work in good faith to resolve any disputed amounts. Overdue undisputed amounts may be subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less).
6(e) Suspension for Non-Payment. If Customer fails to pay undisputed Fees when due and such failure continues for more than fifteen (15) days after written notice from Company, Company may suspend Customer’s access to the Services until all outstanding amounts are paid in full. Suspension under this Section does not relieve Customer of its payment obligations.
6(f) Pricing Changes. Company may update Fees by posting updated pricing to the Pricing Page, to be effective the earlier of: (a) thirty (30) days after the update is posted; or (b) the date Customer receives written notice of the change. Pricing changes will not apply retroactively to usage incurred prior to the effective date of the change.
6(g) Credits. Customer may purchase Credits on a self-serve basis or through a Company-assisted allocation process sized to Customer’s expected usage volume. Credits are applied against Fees as Customer consumes the Services on a pay-as-you-go basis (i.e., Credits cannot be applied towards Fees for subscription Plans) and are not usable for any other purpose, non-refundable (including if unused following a termination or expiration of this Agreement), and non-transferable except as required by law. Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, Credits do not expire.
6(h) Subscription Plans. In addition to the prepaid Credits model, Company offers subscription Plans as set forth on the Pricing Page from time to time.
- Auto-Renewal. Subscription Plans will automatically renew and rebill for successive periods of the same duration as the initial subscription period (e.g., monthly subscriptions renew monthly) at the then-current subscription rate, unless Customer cancels the subscription before the end of the then-current subscription period. BY SUBSCRIBING, CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FEE UNTIL CUSTOMER CANCELS.
- Cancellation. Customer may cancel a subscription at any time through Customer’s “Account Settings” in the Stripe customer portal or by contacting Company at [email protected]. Cancellation will be effective at the end of the then-current subscription period, and Customer will retain access to the Services through that date.
- No Refunds. Monthly subscription Fees are non-refundable, except as required by applicable law. Once the subscription period has begun, all Fees applicable to that period are due and payable in accordance with applicable payment terms. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(h)(iii) applies to subscription charges and is distinct from the non-refundable Credits language in Section 6(g).
7. Intellectual Property
7(a) Reservation of Rights. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, these Terms do not grant either Party any rights to the other’s content or intellectual property, by implication or otherwise. Customer obtains only a limited right to use the Services as described herein, and no ownership rights in the Services are transferred to Customer.
7(b) Customer Ownership of Content. As between the Parties: (i) Customer retains all IP Rights in Inputs; and (ii) Customer owns all IP Rights in Outputs. To the extent Company may hold any right, title, or interest in or to Outputs, Company hereby irrevocably assigns such rights to Customer. This assignment is subject to Customer’s compliance with these Terms and Customer’s payment of applicable Fees.
7(c) Limited License to Company. Customer grants Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use Customer Content solely to the extent necessary to: (i) provide, operate, and maintain the Services, including transmitting Inputs to the applicable model and delivering Outputs to Customer; (ii) enforce these Terms and the Usage Policy, including detecting and preventing abuse; (iii) comply with applicable law; (iv) generate Usage Data and Comparative Analytics in accordance with Section 5(d); and (v) for Subscription Customers, the purposes described in Sections 5(c)(ii) and 5(c)(iv).
7(d) Company IP. Company retains all IP Rights in and to the Services, Pareto, the Comparative Analytics methodology, Usage Data, and all improvements, modifications, and derivative works thereof. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Company IP to Customer.
7(e) Feedback. If Customer provides Feedback to Company, Customer grants Company an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate such Feedback into Company’s products and services without restriction or obligation to Customer.
8. Confidentiality
8(a) Obligations. The Recipient will: (i) use the Discloser’s Confidential Information only to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under these Terms; (ii) take reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure, using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar nature (but no less than reasonable care); and (iii) not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party except as expressly permitted in these Terms.
8(b) Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Recipient; (ii) was in the Recipient’s possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Discloser, without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (iii) is rightfully obtained by the Recipient from a third party without restriction on disclosure and without breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (iv) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
8(c) Permitted Disclosure. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, agents, contractors, and advisors who have a need to know such information and who are bound by obligations of confidentiality at least as protective as those provided in these Terms. The Recipient is responsible for all acts and omissions of such persons with respect to Confidential Information.
8(d) Compelled Disclosure. The Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, or court or administrative order, provided that the Recipient: (i) provides the Discloser with prompt written notice of such requirement (to the extent legally permitted); (ii) cooperates with the Discloser’s efforts to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; and (iii) discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required.
8(e) Return or Destruction. Upon the Discloser’s written request or upon termination of these Terms, the Recipient will promptly destroy or return all copies of the Discloser’s Confidential Information in its possession or control, except: (i) copies retained in the Recipient’s automated back-up or archival systems, which will remain subject to the confidentiality obligations herein for so long as they are maintained; and (ii) copies required to be retained by applicable law. The Recipient will certify destruction in writing upon the Discloser’s reasonable request.
9. Warranties and Disclaimers
9(a) Mutual Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants that: (i) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction; (ii) it has full power and authority to enter into these Terms; and (iii) these Terms constitute a valid and binding obligation of such Party.
9(b) Customer Warranties. Customer further represents and warrants that: (i) it has all rights and permissions required to provide Inputs to the Services; (ii) its use of the Services will comply with all applicable laws and the Usage Policy; and (iii) to the extent Customer provides BYOK Credentials, such provision does not violate Customer’s agreement with the applicable Third-Party Provider.
9(c) Limited Service Warranty. Company warrants that, during the Term, when used in accordance with these Terms, the Services will perform in all material respects in conformity with the Documentation. Customer’s sole remedy for breach of this warranty is, at Company’s option: (i) correction of the non-conformity; or (ii) if correction is not commercially practicable within thirty (30) days, termination of the affected Services and a pro-rata refund of prepaid Fees.
9(d) Disclaimers. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION, THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING ANY THIRD-PARTY MODEL OR THIRD-PARTY PROVIDER. OUTPUTS MAY CONTAIN INACCURACIES AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON WITHOUT INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION. COMPANY’S PUBLISHED BENCHMARKS DO NOT GUARANTEE RESULTS FOR CUSTOMER’S WORKLOADS.
10. Indemnification
10(a) Indemnification by Company. Company will defend Customer and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding (a “Customer Claim”) alleging that Customer’s authorized use of Pareto or Outputs generated by Pareto in accordance with these Terms infringes or misappropriates any third-party IP Right, and will indemnify Customer for any damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Customer (or amounts agreed to in a Company-approved settlement) arising from such Customer Claim.
10(b) Exclusions from Company Indemnity. Company’s obligations under Section 10(a) will not apply to the extent a Customer Claim arises from: (i) modifications made by Customer to the Services or Outputs; (ii) the combination of the Services or Outputs with technology, content, or materials not provided by Company; (iii) Customer’s Inputs or other data provided by Customer; (iv) Customer’s use of the Services in violation of these Terms or the Documentation; (v) use of the Services after Company has notified Customer to cease such use due to an infringement claim; (vi) the practice of a patented invention contained in an Output; or (vii) use of a Third-Party Model (claims related to Third-Party Models are subject to the applicable Third-Party Provider’s terms).
10(c) Mitigation. If Company reasonably believes that the Services or any portion thereof may become the subject of an infringement claim, Company will, at its expense: (i) procure the right for Customer to continue using the Services in accordance with these Terms; (ii) replace or modify the allegedly infringing component so that it is non-infringing without materially reducing functionality; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are not commercially practicable, terminate the affected Services upon written notice and refund any prepaid Fees for the unused portion of the then-current Term.
10(d) Indemnification by Customer. Customer will defend Company and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, suit, or proceeding (a “Company Claim”) arising from or related to: (i) Customer’s Inputs or other content or data provided by Customer; (ii) Customer’s or its Users’ use of the Services in violation of these Terms, the Usage Policy, or applicable law; (iii) Customer’s BYOK Credentials or Customer’s relationship with any Third-Party Provider, including any claim by a Third-Party Provider that Customer’s provision of BYOK Credentials to Company, use of the Services, or enablement of Model-Graded Assessment violates Customer’s agreement with that Third-Party Provider; or (iv) any Customer application, product, or service that Customer builds using the Services and that causes harm to a third party. Customer will indemnify Company for any damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Company (or amounts agreed to in a Customer-approved settlement) arising from such Company Claim.
10(e) Procedure. The indemnified party will: (i) provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any Claim (provided that failure to provide timely notice will not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations except to the extent it is materially prejudiced by such failure); and (ii) reasonably cooperate in the defense of the Claim. The indemnifying party will have sole control of the defense and settlement of any Claim, including the selection of counsel; provided that the indemnifying party may not enter into any settlement that requires the indemnified party to admit wrongdoing, make any payment, or subjects the indemnified party to an ongoing affirmative obligation, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).
10(f) Sole Remedy. To the extent covered under this Section 10, indemnification is each Party’s sole and exclusive remedy under these Terms for any third-party claims covered by this Section.
11. Limitation of Liability
11(a) Exclusion of Indirect Damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT FOR: (A) A PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; (B) A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 8 (CONFIDENTIALITY); OR (C) CUSTOMER’S BREACH OF SECTION 4(c) (RESTRICTIONS); NEITHER PARTY NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

11(c) Basis of the Bargain. The Parties agree that they have entered into these Terms in reliance on the limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in this Section 11, and that these provisions form an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties. The limitations of liability in this Section 11 apply: (i) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; (ii) to liability in tort (including negligence), contract, strict product liability, or otherwise; (iii) regardless of the form of action; and (iv) even if the breaching Party is advised in advance of the possibility of the damages in question and even if such damages were foreseeable.
12. Term, Suspension, and Termination
12(a) Term. These Terms commence on the Effective Date and continue until terminated in accordance with this Section 12 (the “Term”).
12(b) Termination for Cause. Either Party may terminate these Terms upon written notice if the other Party: (i) materially breaches these Terms and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice specifying the breach in reasonable detail; or (ii) ceases its business operations, becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or is otherwise unable to meet its obligations as they become due.
12(c) Immediate Termination. Company may terminate these Terms immediately upon written notice if: (i) Company reasonably determines that provision of the Services to Customer is prohibited by applicable law; or (ii) Customer commits a material breach of Section 4(c) (Restrictions), Section 8 (Confidentiality), or the Usage Policy that is incapable of cure.
12(d) Suspension. Company may limit or suspend Customer’s access to all or any portion of the Services, without liability, if: (i) Company reasonably believes there is a security risk or threat to the integrity of the Services; (ii) Customer or any User is in material violation of these Terms, the Usage Policy, or applicable law; (iii) a Third-Party Provider suspends or terminates Company’s access to a service required to provide the Services; or (iv) suspension is required by applicable law or by order of a governmental authority.
12(e) Effect of Termination. Upon termination or expiration of these Terms:
- all rights and licenses granted to Customer under these Terms will immediately cease;
- Customer will immediately cease all use of the Services and, if applicable, delete or remove any Company Confidential Information in its possession;
- Company will delete all Customer Content from its systems within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination, consistent with the data retention commitment in Section 5(c), unless: (A) Company is required by applicable law to retain such content; or (B) Customer Content is subject to the limited retention exception at the time of termination, in which case such content will be deleted in accordance with the timelines specified therein;
- any accrued payment obligations and any rights or obligations that by their nature should survive termination will survive; and
- except for a termination by Customer for cause, any unpaid Fees for the remainder of the then-current Term (if applicable under an Order Form with a minimum commitment) will become immediately due and payable.
12(f) Survival. The following Sections will survive termination or expiration of these Terms: Section 1 (Definitions), Section 5(a) (Ownership of Customer Content), Section 5(c) (Data Use and Retention), Section 6 (Fees, to the extent of accrued obligations), Section 7 (Intellectual Property), Section 8 (Confidentiality), Section 9 (Warranties and Disclaimers), Section 10 (Indemnification), Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), Section 12(e) (Effect of Termination), Section 12(f) (Survival), Section 13 (Dispute Resolution), and Section 14 (General).
13. Dispute Resolution
13(a) Informal Resolution. In the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms (a “Dispute”), the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. The Party raising the Dispute will provide written notice to the other Party describing the nature of the Dispute and the relief sought (a “Dispute Notice”). The Parties will negotiate in good faith for a period of forty-five (45) days following delivery of the Dispute Notice. If the Parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within such period, either Party may proceed to litigation as set forth in Section 13(b).
13(b) Exclusive Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 13(a), any Dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Delaware. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, waives any objection to venue in such courts, and waives any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.
14. General Provisions
14(a) Governing Law. These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
14(b) Notices. All notices, demands, waivers, and other communications under these Terms (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing. Except for notices related to legal proceedings or equitable relief, Notices may be delivered: (i) by email to the address associated with Customer’s Account (for notices to Customer) or to the address specified below (for notices to Company); (ii) by nationally recognized overnight courier; or (iii) by first class, registered, or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notice is effective upon receipt by the receiving party, provided that the sending party has complied with the requirements of this Section.
Notices to Company:
Circuit & Chisel, Inc.
Address: 268 Post Road STE 200 PMB 586312, Fairfield, CT 06824
Email: [email protected]
14(c) Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any Order Forms, the Usage Policy, the DPA, and any other documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and communications, whether written or oral. Any terms or conditions contained in any purchase order, confirmation, or similar document issued by Customer are null and void and will have no effect.
14(d) Order of Precedence. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the terms of an applicable Order Form, the Order Form will control with respect to the subject matter of that Order Form. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any Zero Data Retention (ZDR) commitments set forth in an applicable Order Form or separate written agreement, the ZDR commitments will control.
14(e) Amendments and Updates. Company may update these Terms by posting the updated Terms on its website. If Company determines that an update materially affects Customer’s rights, Company will provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice. Updates will not apply retroactively. Customer’s continued use of the Services after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance. No other amendment will be effective unless in writing and signed by both Parties.
14(f) Assignment. Neither Party may assign these Terms without the other Party’s prior written consent, except that either Party may assign to an Affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
14(g) Severability; Waiver; Construction. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. The failure to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver. These Terms will be interpreted fairly without strict construction in favor of or against either Party. Section headings are for reference only.
14(h) Independent Contractors; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties are independent contractors and nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, or employment relationship. Neither Party has the authority to bind the other. These Terms are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns; nothing herein confers any right upon any third party.
14(i) Force Majeure. Except for payment obligations, neither Party will be liable for failures or delays resulting from events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, pandemics, war, government actions, or telecommunications failures (“Force Majeure Event”). If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than sixty (60) days, either Party may terminate upon written notice.
14(j) Export Controls and Sanctions. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services complies with all applicable export control laws and trade sanctions. Customer represents that it is not located in any U.S.-sanctioned country, is not on any Restricted Party List, and will not use the Services in violation of export control laws.
14(k) Electronic Communications. Customer agrees that these Terms may be accepted electronically and that such acceptance constitutes Customer’s legally binding signature. Customer agrees to receive all communications related to these Terms electronically.
Privacy Policy
Circuit & Chisel, Inc.
Privacy Policy
Effective as of: October 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy replaces the version dated June 17, 2026.
Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how Circuit & Chisel, Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares personal information through unbiased.cyou, platform.unbiased.cyou, our related applications, and our marketing and business activities (collectively, the "Service"). It applies to visitors, prospective customers, and customers of the Service.
Pareto-specific data handling, including how we treat prompts and responses sent to the Pareto API, is described in our Data Policy. Where the two overlap, the Data Policy governs for anything specific to Pareto; this Policy governs company-wide practices.
Personal information we collect
Information you provide to us
- Contact data, such as your name, email address, billing address, and phone number.
- Account data, such as your login details, company name, and role.
- Billing and transactional data, such as your subscription plan, or pay-as-you-go credit purchases, invoices and payment history. Payment card information is collected and processed directly by our payment processor, Stripe, under Stripe's Privacy Policy. We do not store raw card data.
- Communications, such as information you provide when you contact support, sales, or legal.
Information relating to your use of Pareto and the API
When you use the Pareto API, we process the prompts you send, the responses returned, and related usage metadata (such as timestamps, token counts, and cost). How we handle this information, including retention and training use, is described in our Data Policy and our Terms of Service.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data, such as browser type, operating system, IP address, and general location (city or region).
- Site interaction data, such as pages viewed, time on page, referring URL, and whether you clicked through to purchase.
Information relating to your use of Chat
When you use our Chat product, we process the prompts you send and the responses returned. If you choose to save them, we also store conversation history, projects, project memory, and file attachments ("Customer-Saved Content"). How we retain, access, and use this information is described in our Terms of Service and Data Policy.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, understand how visitors use it, and personalize and measure our advertising. Outside the EEA, UK, Switzerland and Canada, Google analytics and advertising cookies run by default. Under some US state laws this may be considered "sharing" personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out by clicking Reject, using the Your Privacy Choices link in the footer, or enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser. Meta and PostHog run only if you accept. You can change your choice at any time under Analytics preferences.
In the EEA, UK, Switzerland and Canada, before you make a choice, the Google tag loads in a limited, cookieless mode and sets no advertising or analytics cookies unless you accept.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_aw | Google Ads | Stores the ad click ID so a later signup or purchase can be attributed to the ad | 90 days |
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Measures ad conversions | 90 days |
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors | 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Keeps session state | 2 years |
_fbp | Meta (only if you accept) | Measures and delivers Meta ads | 90 days |
ph_<project-key>_posthog | PostHog (only if you accept) | Product analytics: identifies the visitor and session | 1 year |
ph_<project-key>_posthog_cpm | PostHog (only if you accept) | Set by PostHog alongside its main cookie; purpose not separately documented by PostHog | 1 year (as observed) |
_gcl_ls (local storage) | Google Ads | Local-storage copy of ad click data | Not documented by Google; cleared when you Reject |
unbiased_analytics_consent_v1 (local storage) | Unbiased | Remembers your Accept or Reject choice | Until you clear it or change your choice |
If you accept, we use:
- Google Analytics and Google Ads, to understand site usage and measure whether our ads lead to sign-ups and purchases.
- Meta Pixel, to measure our advertising on Meta platforms and support more personalized advertising.
These providers may collect information about your visit (such as pages viewed and actions taken) and combine it with information they hold, under their own privacy policies. We do not use these technologies on pages where you submit prompts or other content to Pareto.
On platform.unbiased.cyou, our logged-in application, we use PostHog for product analytics to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. This runs as part of operating the Service and is not controlled by the analytics prompt.
How we use your personal information
- Provide, operate, secure, and maintain the Service.
- Process payments and manage billing, through Stripe.
- Communicate with you about the Service, including service updates, security notices, and support.
- Send marketing communications, where permitted. You can opt out at any time.
- Measure and improve our advertising, where you have accepted analytics.
- Analyze and improve the Service, using aggregated or de-identified data where possible.
- Comply with applicable law, respond to legal process, and enforce our Terms of Service and Usage Policy.
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
How we share your personal information
We share personal information only as described below.
- Service providers and subprocessors. Providers that process personal information on our behalf, such as hosting, authentication, payments, and model inference. See Subprocessors.
- Advertising and analytics providers, as described in "Cookies, analytics, and advertising" above, where you have accepted analytics.
- Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, accountants, and insurers, where necessary to their engagement.
- Authorities and others, where required by law or necessary to protect our rights, our users, or the public.
- Business transferees, such as an acquirer, successor, or investor, in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Retention
We retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. When determining the length of time to retain your information, we consider various criteria, including whether we need the information to continue to provide you the Services, resolve a dispute, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent harm, promote safety, security and integrity or protect ourselves, including our rights, property or products. In particular, we retain certain of your information as follows:
- Prompts and responses: as described in our Terms of Service and Data Policy.
- Customer-Saved Content (Chat): retained until deleted by the customer, or for the duration of the applicable subscription plus thirty (30) days, or thirty (30) days after a verified account deletion request, whichever is earlier.
- Usage and billing records: retained as needed to operate the Service, and longer where required for accounting, tax, or legal purposes.
- Account data: retained for the life of the account and for up to seven (7) years after the account closes, for legal, tax, and accounting purposes.
When we no longer need personal information, we delete or anonymize it.
Your choices
- Access, correct, or update your account information by logging into your account.
- Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link, or by contacting [email protected].
- Change your preferences with respect to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies at any time under Analytics preferences. You may also opt-out of the collection and use of your information for interest-based advertising by advertisers that are part of certain industry alliances, including through tools offered by the National Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, by clicking the links provided.
- Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and contractual retention requirements, by contacting us.
Do Not Track. Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. We do not currently respond to these signals. See above for which analytics and advertising technologies run by default in your region and how to opt out.
Sensitive information
Please do not send us sensitive personal information (such as information about health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or biometric data) through the Service, including in prompts, unless you have a lawful basis to do so.
Automated decision-making
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, and maintain a security program designed to meet SOC 2 requirements. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International data transfer
We are headquartered in the United States. Personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those of your home jurisdiction. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, as described in the Notice to European Users below.
Children
The Service is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, anyone under 18 years of age. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child in violation of this Policy, please contact us so we can address it.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make a material change, we will update the effective date above and provide reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

Unbiased Data Policy
Effective date: September 24, 2026
This page explains the Pareto-specific practices that sit alongside the Circuit & Chisel, Inc. Privacy Policy and Terms.
What the service processes
- API credentials. Today's public checkout does not require a third-party provider key. If a separate comparison evaluation does, the key-handling terms and controls will be disclosed before it is provided.
- API call content. Prompts and Pareto responses pass through Circuit & Chisel infrastructure to operate the Services.
- Comparison workflows. If separately agreed during onboarding, prompts and responses may be evaluated against another model under disclosed handling terms.
- Comparison data. Quality scores, workload classifications, model identifiers, cost metadata, and other derived evaluation data may be retained to produce an agreed evaluation report and improve the service.
- Usage metadata. Timestamps, model identifiers, token counts, latency, workload class, and cost may be collected for service operation, billing, and reporting.
- Account and payment information. Circuit & Chisel uses account information to provision access. Stripe processes payment information; Circuit & Chisel does not store raw card data.
How data is used
- Operate Pareto access, agreed evaluation workflows, reporting, billing, and account provisioning.
- Use derived quality and workload data to improve comparisons and the service.
- Comply with applicable law and valid legal process.
For information about subprocessors who help us operate Pareto, see Subprocessors.
What we do not do
- We do not use member call content for advertising.
Access and security
Do not send provider credentials through the public contact form. Before any evaluation requires a customer API credential, the applicable storage, access, logging, deletion, and support-access controls will be disclosed in writing. Site and API traffic is protected in transit using TLS.
- For pay-as-you-go customers, our personnel do not access prompt or response content except as required by law.
- For Zero Data Retention traffic, no one accesses content after inference.
- For subscription customers, authorized personnel may access prompts, responses, and Customer-Saved Content for abuse prevention, security monitoring, debugging, and product improvement; every access is logged, attributable to an individual employee, and subject to confidentiality obligations.
Retention
API credentials are retained while needed to provide the service and are scheduled for deletion after access ends. Usage, billing, and derived comparison records may be retained for reporting, legal, accounting, and service-improvement purposes.
- For pay-as-you-go customers, prompts and responses are not retained beyond the time reasonably necessary to process a request and return the response, except where required by law or where necessary for abuse prevention and security monitoring, in which case they are retained for no more than thirty (30) days.
- For subscription customers, prompts, responses, and Customer-Saved Content are retained as described in Section 5(c) of our Terms of Service.
- Account data, including account-holder information, billing and invoice records, and usage metadata, is retained for the life of the account and for seven (7) years after the account closes, for legal, tax, and accounting purposes.
We may also offer Zero Data Retention for certain product offerings. When zero data retention is enabled, we will not retain any prompts or responses after the API request is complete.
Member choices
Members may request access to account and usage data, request deletion of eligible personal data, withdraw any consent previously given prospectively, or request a machine-readable export of available usage and reporting data.
Questions
Send data questions or requests to [email protected].
Subprocessors
To provide the Services, Circuit & Chisel, Inc. ("Company") engages the service providers ("Subprocessors") in the list linked below to process Personal Data on Company's behalf. Before engaging any Subprocessor, Company performs due diligence, including a vendor security review, and requires Subprocessors to be bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those in Company's Data Processing Addendum.
Customers may object to the addition of a new Subprocessor on documented grounds related to confidentiality or security of Personal Data, or the Subprocessor's compliance with applicable privacy laws, as set forth in Section 9 of the DPA.
Analytics preferences
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, analytics on this site run only if you accept the analytics prompt. Elsewhere, Google measurement is on by default and Reject turns it off; Meta and PostHog run only if you accept. Your choice, Accept or Reject, is stored in this browser under the localStorage key unbiased_analytics_consent_v1, and nothing else about it is kept anywhere. You can change it at any time:
