Terms and Conditions for AI Services and Credits Purchase

By using Limecube's AI services and purchasing AI Writer Credits ("Credits"), you agree to the following Terms and Conditions:

AI Services

  1. AI Generation for Initial Website Signup: During the signup process, Limecube's AI will generate a website with content and imagery based on user inputs. The user understands and acknowledges that the AI is not perfect and is still in its early stages of development. The user is responsible for reviewing and verifying the accuracy and reliability of the generated content and imagery before using it for any purpose. Limecube shall not be held liable for any damages or losses arising from the user's reliance on, or use of, the generated content and imagery without proper verification.
  2. AI Writing Generation While Using Limecube: Limecube provides an AI Writer service designed to generate content based on user input. While the AI Writer aims to produce high-quality content and is constantly learning, it is not perfect and is still in its early stages of development. The user understands and acknowledges that the input provided to the AI Writer will significantly impact the output, and Limecube shall not be held responsible for the quality of the content generated, any mistakes made by the AI, or any technical issues with OpenAI.

User Responsibility and Limitation of Liability for AI Services

  1. Prohibited Content: The user agrees not to create websites or generate content or imagery that is racist, illegal, offensive, or otherwise against Limecube's terms of use. Limecube reserves the right to take appropriate action, including but not limited to account suspension or termination, in response to the creation or generation of such content.
  2. User Responsibility for Content Verification: The user acknowledges that the AI Writer and AI-generated website content may occasionally generate content containing facts, statistics, data, advice, or other specific information. The user is responsible for conducting their own research to verify the accuracy and reliability of such information before using it for any purpose. Limecube shall not be held liable for any damages or losses arising from the user's reliance on, or use of, the generated content without proper verification.
  3. Limitation of Liability: Limecube's liability for any damages, losses, or claims arising from or related to the use of the AI services, including, but not limited to, any dissatisfaction with the generated content, mistakes made by the AI, or technical issues with OpenAI, shall be limited to the amount paid by the user for the Credits used, if applicable. Under no circumstances shall Limecube be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages.

AI Writer Credits Purchase

  1. No Refunds on Credits: The user understands and agrees that once Credits have been purchased, they are non-refundable. This no-refund policy also applies to cases where the AI Writer fails due to technical issues with OpenAI, or where the user has created or generated content or imagery in violation of Limecube's terms of use, as described in the "Prohibited Content" section above. Limecube has set the price point for Credits in consideration of the fact that users may need to regenerate content using the AI Writer multiple times to achieve the desired result.
  2. Credits Expiration and Usage: Credits purchased by the user are valid for a period of 6 months from the date of purchase, after which any unused Credits will expire. The user agrees to use the purchased Credits solely for the purpose of generating content using Limecube's AI Writer and for no other purpose.
