  1. Introduction
    1. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User", "you") and ZipTier India Private Limited and/or its affiliates, including ZipTier Inc., as applicable to the contracting entity, billing entity, or service provider identified in your Order Form, account, invoice, or purchase flow (collectively, "ZipTier", "we", "us", or "our").
    2. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Refund and Cancellation Policy, Cookie Policy, and Data Processing Addendum, which are incorporated by reference.
    3. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
    4. ZipTier's services may be delivered through a group structure including ZipTier India Private Limited and ZipTier Inc. Internal allocations of contracting, billing, support, hosting, or intellectual property functions may occur within the ZipTier group subject to applicable law and privacy commitments.
    5. Any collection and use of personal data described in these Terms is carried out in accordance with the lawful bases and jurisdiction-specific requirements set out in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum, including the GDPR for EEA/UK users, the CCPA/CPRA for California residents, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 for users in India.
  2. Definitions
    1. AI Output: Any content generated by the Service in response to User Content.
    2. Confidential Information: Non-public information disclosed by either party that is designated confidential or would reasonably be understood as confidential.
    3. Intellectual Property Rights: All rights related to patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other proprietary interests.
    4. Subscription Plan: The free or paid service tier selected by you, including applicable features, usage limits, seats, included credits, fees, billing cycle, and support entitlements.
    5. User Content: Data, documents, or materials submitted by you to the Service.
    6. Overage Credits: Additional paid usage credits, conversations, tokens, or similar units purchased separately from a Subscription Plan, if offered, and subject to stated validity periods.
  3. User Accounts
    1. Registration: You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account and keep it updated.
    2. Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Notify us immediately of unauthorized access. ZipTier is not liable for losses due to compromised accounts.
    3. Account Termination: You may request the deletion of your account at any time by contacting our support team at support@ziptier.com. We may retain or delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
    4. Responsibility for End-Users: If you provide access to the Service to any third party (an "End-User"), you remain fully responsible for such End-User's compliance with these Terms and all incorporated policies. Any breach by an End-User will be deemed a breach by you.
  4. License & Use of Service
    1. License Grant: Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, ZipTier grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for internal business purposes.
    2. Restrictions: You may not:
      1. Copy, modify, or reverse-engineer the Service.
      2. Sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service.
      3. Use the Service in violation of law or third-party rights.
      4. Use the Service to generate deceptive, harmful, or misleading content.
    3. Enterprise Clients: Custom license terms may apply under separate agreements.
  5. User Content & Data Rights
    1. Ownership: You retain ownership of your User Content.
    2. License to ZipTier: You grant ZipTier a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to host, copy, transmit, process, display, and otherwise use User Content solely as necessary to:
      1. provide, operate, secure, support, and maintain the Service for you;
      2. generate outputs, workflows, analytics, and requested functionality;
      3. troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, detect fraud, and enforce these Terms; and
      4. create aggregated, anonymised, or de-identified statistics that do not identify you or any individual.

      For avoidance of doubt, ZipTier does not use User Content, prompts, outputs, transcripts, or customer-submitted personal data to train or fine-tune ZipTier proprietary foundation models or master AI models.

      ZipTier may use third-party model or infrastructure providers solely to provide the Service subject to contractual and technical safeguards.

    3. Sensitive Data: You must not upload sensitive personal data (e.g., health, financial, biometric) without a separate written agreement outlining additional safeguards.
    4. Compliance: You represent that your User Content complies with applicable laws and our Acceptable Use Policy.
    5. Data Processing: Where applicable, you are the "Data Controller" and ZipTier is the "Data Processor" under GDPR, DPDPA, and similar laws. See our Data Processing Addendum.
    6. Roles Across Different Data Types: For clarity:
      1. For account, billing, and subscription-related data that you provide directly to ZipTier (for example, admin contact details, billing contacts, and payment information), and for automated data collected via the Service (for example, IP addresses, device identifiers, and usage logs), ZipTier determines the purposes and means of processing and therefore acts as Data Controller (GDPR), Business (CCPA/CPRA), and Data Fiduciary (DPDPA).
      2. For User Content and any personal data that you or your organization upload or otherwise submit into the Service for your own business purposes, you or your organization act as Data Controller / Business / Data Fiduciary and ZipTier acts as Data Processor / Service Provider / Data Processor, processing such data only on your documented instructions and in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum.
    7. Nothing in these Terms grants ZipTier independent rights to exploit User Content for advertising, resale, unrelated profiling, or proprietary AI model training beyond what is expressly permitted in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Data Processing Addendum.
    8. Consent Management Features: The Service may include features designed to assist you in obtaining consent from End-Users (e.g., a consent checkbox within a chat interface). If you use such features, you are solely responsible for: (a) ensuring the consent language presented to End-Users is adequate for your legal and compliance requirements; and (b) providing us with the correct and up-to-date hyperlink to your own Privacy Policy. You acknowledge that such features are provided as a tool to assist you in your duties as a Data Controller, and the ultimate legal responsibility for obtaining valid End-User consent remains with you.
    9. Customer Responsibility for Legal Basis: You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary rights, notices, consents, permissions, and lawful bases to submit User Content to the Service and to instruct ZipTier to process such data on your behalf.
  6. Credits, Fees & Billings
    1. ZipTier may offer a free plan and one or more paid subscription plans with tiered pricing, each plan containing different features, user limits, usage allowances, support levels, and commercial terms.
    2. Paid Subscription Plans may be offered on monthly, annual, or other recurring billing cycles as specified at the time of purchase, in an Order Form, or within the Service.
    3. Each Subscription Plan may include a monthly allocation of conversation credits, usage credits, tokens, or similar usage entitlements, as described for the applicable plan.
    4. Included monthly conversation credits or usage entitlements reset or expire at the end of each applicable billing cycle unless expressly stated otherwise.
    5. Where offered, users may purchase additional overage credits beyond their included monthly allocation. Such overage credits shall remain valid for ninety (90) days from the date of purchase unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase.
    6. Paid subscriptions renew automatically for successive billing cycles unless cancelled prior to the applicable renewal date.
    7. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically entitle the user to a refund for fees already charged for the then-current billing period.
    8. All fees, charges, and purchases are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or expressly stated in the Refund and Cancellation Policy.
    9. ZipTier may suspend or restrict paid features, usage entitlements, or account access for failed payments, expired payment methods, suspected fraud, sanctions compliance, abuse, or material breach of these Terms.
    10. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties, levies, withholding amounts, and similar governmental charges, excluding taxes based on ZipTier's net income.
    11. ZipTier may modify pricing, plan names, packaging, features, usage thresholds, or included credits prospectively upon reasonable prior notice where required by law.
    12. Free plans may be modified, limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time unless otherwise expressly committed in writing.
  7. Intellectual Property
    1. ZipTier IP: The Service, its design, algorithms, and aggregated data are owned by ZipTier.
    2. AI Output: You may use AI Output for business purposes, but ZipTier retains rights to the underlying models. AI Output may not be unique across users.
    3. Similar Output: Because machine learning systems may generate similar responses for multiple users, outputs may not be unique and other users may receive similar or identical content.
    4. Feedback: Any suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or feedback you provide may be used by ZipTier without restriction or compensation, provided such use does not disclose your Confidential Information.
  8. Confidentiality
    1. Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information and not disclose it except:
      1. As required by law.
      2. To employees or contractors bound by similar confidentiality obligations.
