Stint Terms of Service

Last Updated: May 16, 2026 · Effective: May 16, 2026

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER (SECTION 22) THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, AS WELL AS BROAD DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTY (SECTION 19), LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY (SECTION 20), AND AN INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION (SECTION 21). BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Stint LLC, a Virginia limited liability company ("Stint," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Stint mobile application, the website at stint.tech, any related software, application programming interfaces (APIs), voice features, AI-generated content, and all other services we provide (collectively, the "Service"). These Terms apply in addition to, and incorporate by reference, our Privacy Policy.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service in any manner, you represent and warrant that (a) you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement; (c) all information you provide is accurate and complete; and (d) you will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws.

1.1 Consumer Use Only; Separate Enterprise Terms

The Service is licensed under these Terms solely for personal, non-commercial, individual productivity use. If you wish to use the Service on behalf of a business, corporation, or other commercial entity ("Enterprise Use"), such use is strictly prohibited under these Terms. Enterprise Use requires a separate executed Enterprise SaaS Agreement and Data Processing Addendum (DPA) with Stint LLC. Stint LLC disclaims all liability for data security, compliance, and confidentiality breaches resulting from unauthorized Enterprise Use under these consumer-facing Terms.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

The Service is intended for individuals who are at least sixteen (16) years of age. By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least sixteen (16) years old;
• If you are between 16 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18, but 19 in Alabama and Nebraska, and 21 in Mississippi), a parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms with you, consents to your use of the Service, and accepts these Terms on your behalf;
• You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo, and you are not on any U.S. or other applicable government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• You have not been previously suspended, banned, or removed from the Service;
• You are not using the Service to provide services to a person under 16.

No Use by Children Under 16. The Service is not directed to and is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child under 16 has provided personal information should contact us at privacy@stint.tech.

COPPA Compliance (Children Under 13). In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., we do not knowingly collect, use, disclose, or retain personal information from children under the age of 13. The Service is not directed to children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information to the Service, we will delete that information and terminate the associated account within 48 hours of discovery. For users between the ages of 13 and 15, we apply the same protections as for all users under 16, as described above.

3. Description of the Service

Stint is an AI-powered productivity and execution-support application. The Service uses large language models ("LLMs"), generative AI, voice transcription, and other automated systems to generate personalized tasks, plans, drafts, summaries, prompts, and other content (collectively, "AI Output") based on inputs you provide. Among other things, the Service may:

• generate daily tasks and plans tied to your stated goals;
• chat with you about your work, plans, or context;
• record and transcribe your voice and use that transcript as input;
• build, store, and update a personalized memory profile of facts you share or that the Service infers from your interactions;
• issue push notifications to remind you of tasks or prompt reflection;
• present subscription and other purchase offers.

THE SERVICE IS AN INFORMATIONAL AND PRODUCTIVITY TOOL. IT IS NOT, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE, PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND. We may add, modify, suspend, or remove any features, functionality, content, integrations, AI models, vendors, or capabilities at any time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice and without liability to you.

4. Accounts, Authentication, and Security

To use most features of the Service, you must register for an account. You may register using third-party authentication providers (such as Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google), email-based one-time passcodes, email and password, or other methods we make available. You are responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials; (ii) all activities and transactions that occur under your account; (iii) immediately notifying us at support@stint.tech of any unauthorized use, security breach, or suspected compromise of your account; and (iv) ensuring that your use of any third-party authentication provider complies with that provider's terms. If you sign in with Apple and elect to use Apple's email relay, you authorize the Service to process messages routed through that relay; if you later disable the relay, communications from us may not reach you.

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials or comply with this Section. We may, at our sole discretion, refuse to register, suspend, lock, or terminate any account at any time and for any reason or no reason.

5. AI Output, Limitations, and Your Sole Responsibility

Generative AI is inherently probabilistic, imperfect, and unreliable. You acknowledge, understand, and agree that:

(a) AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, offensive, outdated, fabricated, "hallucinated," internally inconsistent, inconsistent across sessions, or otherwise unsuitable for any particular purpose, and the Service has no obligation to warn you when this occurs.

(b) AI Output is not, and must not be relied upon as, professional advice of any kind, including but not limited to medical, mental-health, psychological, psychiatric, legal, accounting, tax, financial, investment, immigration, employment, academic, career, safety, or engineering advice.

(c) The Service is not a therapist, coach in any licensed or professional sense, mentor, crisis counselor, suicide-prevention resource, doctor, lawyer, financial advisor, or licensed professional of any kind. If you are in crisis or experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately. In the United States, dial 911 or call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

(d) Any characterization of the Service or any of its features as "coaching," "guidance," "mentorship," or "execution support" is informal and motivational only and creates no professional, fiduciary, advisory, therapeutic, or special relationship between you and Stint, our affiliates, vendors, or any third party.

(e) You are solely responsible for evaluating, verifying, and validating all AI Output before relying on it, acting on it, sharing it, or making any decision based on it.

(f) AI Output may be similar or identical to output generated for other users or by other systems; we make no representation as to its uniqueness, originality, non-infringement, or that it is free from third-party intellectual property claims.

(g) The Service may, at your direction, draft messages, generate summaries, prepare plans, or otherwise produce content on your behalf; you are responsible for reviewing all such content before sending, publishing, submitting, or relying on it.

YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR USE OF AI OUTPUT.

6. Prohibited High-Stakes and Unlawful Uses

You agree that you will not use the Service, AI Output, or any data exported from the Service for any of the following high-stakes, regulated, or unlawful purposes, including without limitation:

• medical diagnosis, treatment planning, prescription, or any clinical decision-making;
• mental-health crisis intervention, suicide-prevention, or as a substitute for therapy or other licensed mental-health services;
• legal advice, drafting binding contracts, court filings, or regulatory submissions;
• financial-, tax-, accounting-, securities-, insurance-, or investment-decision making;
• hiring, firing, performance review, credit, housing, education, insurance, public-benefits, or other consequential decisions about other people;
• operation of nuclear facilities, life-support systems, weapons, aircraft, mass transit, or other safety-critical infrastructure;
• generation of content that infringes intellectual property, defames, harasses, threatens, doxes, or invades the privacy of any person;
• generation of sexually explicit content involving minors, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content depicting real persons without their consent;
• creating or facilitating malware, phishing, fraud, identity theft, scams, spam, or social-engineering attacks;
• violating any law, regulation, sanction, export control, or third-party right;
• reverse-engineering, scraping, training competing AI models, or building any product or service that competes with the Service;
• bypassing rate limits, content filters, safety classifiers, or any technical or contractual protection measure;
• generating content related to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high-yield explosive (CBRNE) weapons; or
• use in any jurisdiction where such use would be unlawful.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, review, refuse, modify, filter, or remove any User Content, AI Output, or activity, and to investigate and take legal action against anyone who, in our sole judgment, violates this Section.

7. User Content and Broad License Grant

"User Content" means any data, text, voice recordings, audio transcripts, images, files, goals, plans, prompts, chat messages, documents, links, metadata, journal entries, brain-dumps, memory entries, and any other materials you submit, upload, dictate, transmit through, or generate using the Service, together with any inputs you direct the Service to process.

7.1 Ownership. As between you and Stint, you retain whatever ownership rights you may have in your User Content, subject to the broad license you grant us below.

7.2 License to Stint. You hereby grant Stint and its affiliates, successors, assigns, contractors, processors, and service providers a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-exclusive, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, copy, cache, transmit, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works of, perform, display, distribute, process, analyze, log, retain, and otherwise use your User Content (in any media now known or later developed) for any and all purposes related to: (a) operating, providing, maintaining, securing, and supporting the Service; (b) developing, improving, training, fine-tuning, evaluating, benchmarking, testing, and creating derivative AI models, algorithms, classifiers, embeddings, datasets, prompts, and features (whether proprietary to Stint or licensed from or to third parties); (c) producing aggregated, anonymized, de-identified, or statistically-derived datasets and insights that cannot reasonably be re-linked to any individual, which we may use, disclose, license, sell, or commercialize without restriction and in perpetuity; (d) marketing and promoting the Service (provided we do not publicly identify you by name or photograph without your consent unless legally permitted); and (e) complying with legal, regulatory, audit, accounting, security, and risk-management obligations.

Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary, this license does not authorize the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined under applicable data-protection laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act/California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act ("VCDPA"), the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), or other substantially similar privacy statutes. Your statutory rights under applicable data-protection law are not limited, waived, or superseded by this license. Where EU or UK data-protection law applies, the "irrevocable" character of this license shall be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law, and your right to withdraw consent for data processing remains unaffected consistent with GDPR Article 7(3).

7.3 Use for AI Training and Improvement. You expressly acknowledge and consent that your User Content (including but not limited to chat messages, voice recordings, transcripts, brain-dumps, goals, plans, memory entries, AI Output you have rated or interacted with, and metadata about your interactions) may be used by Stint to train, fine-tune, and improve our own AI models and the Service. While Stint covenants to utilize commercially reasonable technical safeguards to programmatically filter direct personal identifiers (such as account email addresses) prior to utilizing such data to train our proprietary AI models, we permanently retain the raw chat logs and interactions stripped of direct contact details. Stint’s data usage under this Section is subject to your absolute right to opt out of AI training ingestion at any time by utilizing the in-app privacy controls or by contacting privacy@stint.tech, which will prospectively halt the processing of your data for model optimization. You expressly acknowledge and assume the risk that if you voluntarily input highly identifiable personal details into the chat, those details will remain in our logs and may be reviewed, by humans or machines, for quality, fraud-prevention, safety, abuse-detection, debugging, or model-improvement purposes.

7.4 Your Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant that:

(a) you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to submit your User Content and grant the licenses above; (b) your User Content does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third-party right (including intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or contractual rights); (c) your User Content does not contain unlawful, harmful, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise objectionable material; (d) you have obtained any required consents from any individuals identifiable in your User Content (including, where applicable, voice recordings of others); and (e) your submission and our use of your User Content as permitted under these Terms will not violate any law or third-party agreement.

7.5 Sensitive Content Warning. DO NOT submit any information you consider confidential, secret, privileged, or sensitive. This includes, without limitation: government-issued identifiers (Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers); financial-account numbers, credit-card numbers, or banking credentials; protected health information (PHI) regulated under HIPAA; biometric identifiers; passwords or API keys; trade secrets or non-public business information of yours or others; and information subject to attorney-client, doctor-patient, or other privileges. The Service is not designed to be a HIPAA-compliant, GLBA-compliant, FERPA-compliant, or PCI-DSS-compliant system. We do not enter into Business Associate Agreements.

7.6 Memory and Personalization. The Service builds, stores, and updates a personalized memory profile of you based on your interactions. This memory is used to tailor future AI Output to your goals, preferences, and context. You can request deletion of this memory through in-app controls or by contacting privacy@stint.tech. Memory deletion is prospective: prior AI Output already generated using earlier memory states cannot be retroactively unwound.

8. Voice Recording, Transcription, and Multi-Party Consent

The Service includes voice features that record, transcribe, and process your speech using Apple's on-device Speech framework and, in some cases, Apple's server-side speech recognition. By enabling and using these features:

(a) You consent to the recording, transcription, storage, processing, and analysis of your voice and voice-derived data, and you agree that transcripts of your speech are User Content subject to Section 7.

(b) You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents from any other persons whose voices may be captured by your microphone, including in jurisdictions with two-party or all-party consent laws (e.g., California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington). Upon first activating the microphone, you may be presented with a mandatory on-screen confirmation to acknowledge that you are in a private setting or have obtained such nearby consent.

(c) You acknowledge that speech-recognition processing may involve transmission of audio to Apple Inc. under Apple's terms, and you agree to abide by those terms.

(d) Voice transcripts and any AI Output derived from them are subject to the license grant in Section 7.

You may revoke microphone access at any time through your device settings. Doing so will disable voice features but will not retroactively delete transcripts already created.

9. Third-Party AI Models, Services, and Integrations

The Service relies on, transmits data to, and integrates with third-party providers, including without limitation: Amazon Web Services, Inc. (Amazon Bedrock and related cloud services); Anthropic, PBC (Claude family of models, accessed via Amazon Bedrock); OpenAI OpCo, LLC (ChatGPT and related models); Google LLC (Gemini family of models and related Google Cloud services); Supabase, Inc. (database, authentication, edge functions, and storage); PostHog, Inc. (product analytics and session replay); Functional Software, Inc. d/b/a Sentry (error and performance monitoring); Superwall Labs, Inc. (subscription management and paywall presentation); Apple Inc. (App Store, Sign in with Apple, the Speech framework, push notifications, StoreKit, and related services); and, if you use Google to sign in, Google LLC; and additional present and future processors, sub-processors, and integrations (collectively, "Third-Party Services").

9.1 No Warranty Over Third Parties. Third-Party Services are provided by independent companies under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, security, data-handling practices, or any act or omission. By using the Service, you acknowledge that Stint acts merely as a conduit to AI providers (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google), and you expressly assume all risks associated with the transmission, storage, and processing of your data by these third parties.

9.2 Training Opt-Out at the Provider Level. We make commercially reasonable efforts to configure our enterprise contracts and API calls so that our AI providers (currently Amazon Bedrock and Google) do not use our customer data to train their general-purpose foundation models. We do not guarantee that providers will honor these requests, and we expressly disclaim liability for any failure of a provider to do so.

9.3 Your Acceptance of Third-Party Terms. Your use of the Service may be subject to the terms of these Third-Party Services, and by using the Service you agree to be bound by them to the extent applicable.

10. Intellectual Property and Feedback

The Service, including all software, designs, text, graphics, prompts, system instructions, model weights, embeddings, datasets, branding, trademarks, service marks, logos, sounds, and the "look and feel" of the Service, is owned by Stint or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, and other intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial purposes, in strict accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Feedback. If you submit any suggestions, ideas, comments, improvements, or feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you hereby assign to Stint all right, title, and interest in such Feedback (or, to the extent assignment is not permitted, grant a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use it for any purpose), without obligation or compensation to you.

11. Restrictions and Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

(a) copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Service; (b) reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, model weights, prompts, or training data; (c) use the Service to develop, train, evaluate, or improve any competing AI model, product, or service; (d) scrape, crawl, harvest, index, or extract data from the Service through automated or manual means; (e) circumvent or interfere with rate-limits, security, content filters, safety classifiers, or any technical or contractual protection measure; (f) use the Service to generate large volumes of synthetic content for resale, redistribution, or use as training data; (g) upload viruses, malware, ransomware, or any malicious code; (h) impersonate any person, misrepresent your affiliation, or otherwise engage in deceptive conduct; (i) use the Service in violation of any law, regulation, sanction, or third-party right; (j) remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices on the Service or any output; or (k) use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service or interfere with any other party's use of it.

12. Beta, Preview, and Experimental Features

We may, from time to time, offer beta, preview, alpha, or experimental features ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without any warranty whatsoever, may be unstable or unreliable, may change or be discontinued at any time without notice, and may be subject to additional terms. Use of Beta Features is at your sole risk. We may collect additional usage data on Beta Features to evaluate and improve them.

13. Subscriptions, Billing, and Auto-Renewal

13.1 Plans and Billing. Some features of the Service are available only with a paid subscription ("Subscription"). Subscriptions are sold in fixed-term plans (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, or other intervals we may offer). Pricing is displayed at the point of purchase and may vary by region, platform, promotional offer, cohort, or experiment. We reserve the right to change pricing, plans, billing intervals, free-trial terms, and feature allocations at any time, with prospective effect.

13.2 Payment Methods. Subscriptions for the iOS application are processed through the Apple App Store / Apple Media Services and are subject to Apple's terms and conditions, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Subscription management for the iOS application is provided via Superwall and Apple StoreKit. If we offer direct web subscriptions in the future, those may be processed through a payment processor such as Stripe; we will update these Terms accordingly.

13.3 Auto-Renewal. SUBSCRIPTIONS AUTOMATICALLY RENEW at the end of each billing period at the then-current renewal price until cancelled. Renewal occurs without further action from you. The renewal price may differ from any introductory or initial-period price. We may offer free trials or introductory pricing; unless cancelled before the end of the trial or introductory period, the Subscription will convert to a paid Subscription at the standard price.

13.4 Cancellation. You may cancel your Subscription at any time, but cancellation only prevents future renewals; it does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid. Subscriptions purchased through the App Store must be cancelled through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions). We cannot cancel App Store subscriptions on your behalf or issue refunds for them. To avoid being charged for the next billing period, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.

13.5 No Refunds; Waiver of Statutory Withdrawal Right. All payments are final and non-refundable. We do not provide refunds, credits, or pro-rated reimbursements for partial Subscription periods, unused features, downtime, account suspension or termination, or for any other reason, except where required by applicable law. Apple App Store refunds, if any, are governed by Apple's policies and are processed by Apple, not by Stint. If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or United Kingdom, you expressly acknowledge and agree that by purchasing a Subscription and requesting immediate access to the digital content provided by the Service, you are explicitly requesting immediate performance of the contract. Consequently, you hereby acknowledge that you lose your statutory fourteen (14) day cooling-off period and right of withdrawal under applicable consumer protection laws once the digital content performance begins.

13.6 Taxes. Prices are exclusive of all applicable taxes, duties, levies, and similar charges (including VAT, GST, and sales tax), which are your responsibility unless we are required by law to collect them. Where we collect tax, it will be added at checkout.

13.7 Failed Payments. If we (or the App Store) are unable to charge your payment method, we may suspend or downgrade your access. You authorize us, the App Store, and our payment processors to retry failed charges and to update your payment-method details using account-updater services made available by card networks.

13.8 Promotional Offers. Promotional offers, free trials, discounts, and credits are time-limited, non-transferable, may be revoked at any time, and are subject to additional terms communicated at the point of offer.

14. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you obtained the Stint application from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, and in the event of conflict between these Terms and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple EULA"), the more restrictive of the two will govern:

(a) These Terms are between you and Stint only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). (b) Apple is not responsible for the application or its content. (c) Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the application. (d) In the event of any failure of the application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the application; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation. (e) Stint, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any product or end-user claims, including but not limited to product-liability claims, claims that the product fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer-protection or similar legislation. (f) Stint, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party intellectual-property claim concerning the application. (g) You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country and not on any U.S. government prohibited or restricted-parties list. (h) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you.

15. Suspension and Termination (Sole Discretion)

We may suspend, restrict, throttle, downgrade, or terminate your account or your access to all or part of the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, in our sole and absolute discretion, without liability to you. Reasons may include, but are not limited to: actual or suspected breach of these Terms; fraud or abuse; risk to the Service or other users; legal obligation; investigation by law enforcement; non-payment; inactivity; or business reasons.

You may terminate your account at any time through in-app account-deletion controls or by contacting support@stint.tech.

16. Effect of Termination

On termination: (a) your right to access and use the Service immediately ends; (b) we apply the following tiered data-retention schedule — (i) Immediate deletion (within 30 days): your email address, display name, authentication tokens, push-notification tokens, device identifiers, memory profile, and Goal Inputs are permanently deleted; (ii) Pseudonymized retention (up to 24 months): chat transcripts and AI-interaction logs from which all direct and reasonably indirect personal identifiers have been removed are retained solely for fraud prevention, legal-compliance, security, and aggregate model-improvement purposes; after 24 months these records are permanently deleted or further reduced to anonymous statistical aggregates; (iii) Indefinite retention: only truly aggregated, anonymous statistical data (e.g., aggregate token counts, feature-usage percentages, model-performance benchmarks) that cannot reasonably be re-linked to any individual; (c) you remain liable for all amounts owed; and (d) Sections 5, 6, 7 (including the licenses granted thereunder), 9, 10, 11, 13.5, and 16–33 (and any other provision that by its nature should survive) shall survive termination. We have no obligation to maintain, return, export, or deliver any User Content following termination, except as required by law.

17. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice, in our sole discretion. We may modify these Terms at any time by posting the revised version with a new "Last Updated" date.

Non-Material Changes. For non-material changes (such as clarifications, formatting, or updates that do not adversely affect your rights), your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Material Changes. For material changes — including changes that adversely affect your rights, expand our data-collection or use practices, alter dispute-resolution procedures, or significantly modify fees — we will provide at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice by reasonable means (such as in-app notice, push notification, or email) and will require your affirmative acceptance via an in-app prompt (e.g., clicking "I Accept") before the revised Terms take effect. If you do not accept a material change, you may terminate your account before the effective date; failure to terminate will constitute acceptance. We will not require click-through acceptance more frequently than reasonably necessary.

18. Data, Privacy, and Storage

Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described therein. We do not warrant or guarantee that any backups will be available, that data will be free from loss, corruption, or unauthorized access, or that data will be retained for any particular period.

19. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE, ALL AI OUTPUT, AND ALL CONTENT, FEATURES, AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

STINT, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND PROCESSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "STINT PARTIES") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

THE STINT PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT (A) THE SERVICE OR AI OUTPUT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE TIMELY, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR FIT FOR ANY PURPOSE; (C) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR (D) THE SERVICE IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY STINT PARTY, CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, the warranties of the Stint Parties are limited to the minimum scope and duration permitted by law.

20. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE STINT PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR ENHANCED DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES; LOST BUSINESS OR GOODWILL; LOSS OF DATA OR USE; LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY; PERSONAL INJURY; EMOTIONAL DISTRESS; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO RELIANCE ON AI OUTPUT, ACADEMIC OUTCOMES, BUSINESS OUTCOMES, MENTAL OR PHYSICAL HEALTH, FINANCIAL DECISIONS, MISSED DEADLINES, OR ANY OUTCOME OR RESULT OF USING (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF A STINT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Aggregate Cap. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE STINT PARTIES' TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AND UNDER ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO STINT FOR THE SERVICE IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS WILL NOT EXPAND THIS LIMIT.

Essential Basis. The limitations of liability in this Section are an essential basis of the bargain between you and Stint and apply even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Jurisdictional Limits. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. To the extent any limitation in this Section is held unenforceable, the Stint Parties' liability will be limited to the minimum extent permitted by applicable law.

21. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Stint Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, fines, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or related to:

(a) your access to or use of (or inability to use) the Service; (b) your User Content (including AI Output you generate, share, or rely on); (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right; (d) your reliance on AI Output and any decision or action you take based on it; (e) your interaction with any Third-Party Service; (f) any dispute between you and another user or third party; or (g) any negligent or willful misconduct by you.

We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You will not settle any matter without our prior written consent.

EU/UK Consumer Savings Clause. If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or United Kingdom, this indemnification obligation applies only to the extent permitted by applicable mandatory consumer-protection law. In particular, this Section does not require you to indemnify Stint for any losses caused by Stint's own negligence, breach of contract, breach of statutory duty, or fraudulent misrepresentation, and does not limit any non-waivable statutory rights you may have under applicable law.

22. Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver; Jury-Trial Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

22.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Stint agree that any past, present, or future dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service, these Terms, or the relationship between you and Stint (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, except as modified by this Section. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

22.2 Pre-Arbitration Notice; Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, the claimant must send a written notice of dispute to the other party describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought. Notices to Stint must be sent to legal@stint.tech. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days. If unresolved, either party may commence arbitration.

22.3 Arbitrator's Authority. The arbitrator (and not any court) will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or this arbitration agreement, including whether any claim is arbitrable, except that disputes about the enforceability of the Class-Action Waiver in Section 22.5 may be decided only by a court.

22.4 Location, Costs, and Procedure. Arbitration will be conducted in Fairfax County, Virginia, or, at your election, by telephone, video, or written submission. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees and costs except as provided by the JAMS rules or applicable law. The arbitrator may award any individual relief that a court could award, including injunctive relief on an individual basis.

22.5 Class-Action and Representative-Action Waiver. You and Stint agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff, claimant, or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, mass-action, or representative proceeding (including any private-attorney-general or non-PAGA representative action, to the maximum extent permitted by law). Unless both you and Stint agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate claims and may not preside over any form of consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. If this Class-Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to any particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) shall be severed and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction; the remaining Disputes shall continue in arbitration.

22.6 Jury-Trial Waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Stint each waive any right to a trial by jury for any Dispute.

22.7 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and the class-action waiver within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending a written notice that includes your full name, account email, mailing address, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out, to legal@stint.tech with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

22.8 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring (a) an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, or (b) an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or equitable relief to protect intellectual-property rights or to prevent unauthorized use of the Service.

22.9 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Section survives termination of these Terms.

22.10 Batch Arbitration Protocol. If twenty-five (25) or more materially similar arbitration demands are filed against Stint (or by Stint against users) within any ninety (90) day period by or with the assistance of the same law firm, legal organization, or coordinated group, JAMS will randomly select ten (10) of those demands as bellwether cases for initial resolution. The remaining demands are stayed pending resolution of the bellwether cases; filing fees for non-bellwether demands are held in abeyance and applicable statutes of limitations are tolled during the stay. The parties agree to use the bellwether outcomes to facilitate good-faith settlement discussions regarding the remaining demands. If settlement discussions fail within sixty (60) days following resolution of the bellwether cases, the remaining demands may proceed individually in accordance with these Terms. Any claimant who opts into coordination with other claimants for strategic purposes waives the right to object to this batch protocol.

23. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any Dispute are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. For any Dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 22, you and Stint submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fairfax County, Virginia, and waive any objection to venue or forum non conveniens.

24. DMCA / Copyright Infringement

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). To submit a DMCA notice, send a written communication that includes the items required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent:

Stint LLC — DMCA Agent Email: legal@stint.tech

We will respond to valid notices in accordance with the DMCA. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers in our sole discretion.

25. Export Controls and Sanctions

The Service is subject to U.S. export-control and sanctions laws, including the Export Administration Regulations and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. embargo and are not on any U.S. or other applicable government restricted-party list. You will not export, re-export, or transfer the Service in violation of any applicable law.

26. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any delay or failure in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, pandemic, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, denial-of-service attacks, third-party-provider failures (including cloud, AI, payment, or app-store providers), and shortages of materials or services.

27. Notices and Electronic Communications

You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email, in-app notice, push notification, and through the Service. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your account or posted in the Service. Notices to us must be sent to legal@stint.tech (or, for DMCA, as provided in Section 24).

28. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to do so later. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Stint.

29. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section is void. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms to any affiliate, successor, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, financing, reorganization, or similar transaction.

30. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented to you within the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Stint regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, or agreements (whether written or oral) on the subject. Except for Apple as expressly provided in Section 14, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.

31. Independent Contractors; No Agency

You and Stint are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint-venture, employment, fiduciary, or franchise relationship.
