4. Account Access, Fees and Pricing

4.1 Account Access

To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with information about yourself, such as your name, email address, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and that you will keep it accurate and up to date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to create a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, you must immediately notify us at [email protected].

4.2 Fees

Customer will pay Brainfish the fees, including any consumption based fee (e.g., credits), as set forth on the Ballet Website if the Customer subscribes to the Service via the Ballet Website (collectively, the “Fees”). Fees are quoted and payable in United States dollars (unless otherwise specified on the Ballet Website) and payment obligations are non-cancelable, non-pro-ratable for partial months, and Fees paid are non-refundable. Brainfish will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the Service up to date on the Ballet Website. We encourage you to check our pricing page on the Ballet Website periodically for current pricing information. Brainfish may change the Fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Brainfish gives you advance notice of changes before they apply through the Service user interface, a pop-up notice, email, or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Service after the price change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You will be responsible for all taxes associated with the Service, other than taxes based on Brainfish’s net income. Brainfish, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Brainfish customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or these Terms of Service. Any renewal of promotional or one-time priced Service subscriptions will be at Brainfish’s applicable list price in effect at the time of the applicable renewal as provided on the Ballet Website.

4.3 Ballet Product Consumption Based Pricing

The subscription to the Ballet Product includes a defined level of usage capacity. This capacity is administered through a flexible credit framework designed to support a range of activities within the Ballet Product. If usage requirements exceed the included capacity for the subscription to the Ballet Product as provided for on the Ballet Website, you may expand your subscription through the purchase of additional capacity by purchasing more credits or by upgrading to a higher subscription tier. You agree that once you exceed your credits for the Ballet Product, that Brainfish may automatically charge you for increased credits to allow for continued access to and usage of the Ballet Product. If you exceed your credits for the Ballet Product, you understand you will no longer be able to initiate new workflows within the Ballet Product until you purchase additional credits.

4.4 Subscription Service

The Service may include certain subscription-based plans with automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. The Subscription Service will begin on the Subscription Billing Date and continue for the subscription period that you select on your account (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”), and will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration as the Initial Subscription Period (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Service or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Service, then you authorize Brainfish or its third-party payment processors to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Service, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date. Information on the recurring fee charged by Brainfish for access to the Subscription Service during each Subscription Period (“Subscription Fee”), is available on the Ballet Website, or otherwise described in these Terms of Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the renewal date of your Subscription Service for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Service at least 24 hours before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. Brainfish or its third-party payment processor will bill the periodic Subscription Fee to the payment method associated with your account or that you otherwise provide to us. You may cancel the Subscription Service by using the cancellation functionality made available in the Ballet Website or by contacting us at [email protected]. YOUR CANCELLATION MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE IN ORDER TO AVOID CHARGE FOR THE NEXT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD.

4.5 Payment

You will provide Brainfish with a valid and updated debit or credit card through its payment processor to charge you for your subscription to the Service. If your payment method ceases to work at any time, you understand that you will not be able to increase your credits to use the Ballet Product and your access and usage of the Ballet Product will be impacted.

Customer’s Content will not be used to train any LLM Provider’s artificial intelligence models, unless specifically agreed to by Customer.

5.4 Feedback

You (and your Users) may from time to time provide Brainfish suggestions or comments for enhancements or improvements, new features or functionality or other feedback (“Feedback”) with respect to the Service (including Ballet Product and any Beta Product).

You agree to exercise reasonable due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of an actual breach of the provisions of this Section, Brainfish will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. You will promptly notify Brainfish in writing if you become aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.
