How We Use Data

We use Your Data to operate the Service, improve AI model performance (in aggregate and anonymized form), and communicate with you about the Service. We do not sell your personal data or your customers' data to third parties.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of Your Data.

Data Retention

We retain Your Data for the duration of your subscription and for a reasonable period after termination as required by law or for legitimate business purposes. Upon request, we will delete Your Data in accordance with our data deletion procedures.

We may perform scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, updates, or modifications that temporarily interrupt the Service. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of planned downtime in advance.

We are not liable for any losses or damages resulting from Service interruptions, outages, or degraded performance, whether caused by maintenance, technical failures, third-party service providers, or circumstances beyond our control.


9 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.


10 Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by canceling your subscription and contacting us at bellcast@polsia.app. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of prepaid fees.

By Us

We may also terminate the Service with 30 days' notice for any reason.

Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends. We will make your data available for export for 30 days following termination, after which we may delete it. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.


11 Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [STATE] [Note to operator: insert your governing state, e.g., "the State of Delaware"], without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, unless you opt out within 30 days of your first use by emailing bellcast@polsia.app with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out." You and Bellcast waive any right to a jury trial or class action for covered disputes.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you by email or prominent notice in the Service.

Your continued use of the Service after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.


13 Miscellaneous

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

Waiver. Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights freely.

Force Majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, government actions, internet outages, or third-party service failures.
