Terms of Service

Last updated: March 29, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using AlternateMe ("the Service"), operated by AlternateMe ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

AlternateMe provides a platform for creating AI-powered digital twins from your public content and documents. Users can upload content, configure AI models, and share a public chat interface where visitors can interact with the AI twin. The Service includes free and paid subscription tiers.

3. User Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of all content you upload to the Service ("User Content"). By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process, store, embed, and display your content solely for the purpose of operating the Service and providing the digital twin functionality.

You represent that you have the right to upload and use all content you provide, and that your content does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights.

5. AI-Generated Responses

Digital twins generate responses using artificial intelligence based on the content you provide. AI responses may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate. You acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated content is not a substitute for professional advice (medical, legal, financial, etc.).
  • We are not responsible for the accuracy or consequences of AI-generated responses.
  • You are responsible for the content your twin produces, as it is derived from material you provided.
  • Visitors interact with your twin at their own discretion.

6. Prohibited Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to create twins that impersonate other people without their consent.
  • Upload content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Use the Service to generate spam, phishing, or malicious content.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service.
  • Use automated means to access the Service in a way that exceeds reasonable use.
  • Resell or redistribute the Service without our written consent.
  • Use temporary or disposable email addresses to create accounts.

7. Payments and Subscriptions

Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method. You may cancel at any time through the Manage Subscription portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods.

We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days' notice. Price changes will apply at the next billing cycle after the notice period.

8. API Keys

If you provide your own API keys (for LLM providers, ElevenLabs, etc.), you are responsible for all charges incurred on those accounts. We store API keys in encrypted form and use them solely to operate the Service on your behalf. We are not liable for charges on your third-party accounts.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, is owned by AlternateMe and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service. The AlternateMe name, logo, and branding are our trademarks.

10. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALTERNATEME SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Our total liability for any claim arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AlternateMe, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these terms.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms or for any reason with reasonable notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete your data after a reasonable retention period following termination.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes via email or an in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

14. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which AlternateMe operates. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.
