1. SERVICE OVERVIEW AND LICENSE TERMS

1.1 Description of Services

Cluely provides an AI-powered desktop application that processes screen visuals and audio inputs to provide real-time assistance during interviews, meetings, sales calls, questions, and other situations. The Services include both free and premium subscription offerings, with the free version providing limited functionality (showing only the first 10 words of responses). Cluely observes your screen and listens to audio to generate contextually relevant assistance, but does not control your computer or make decisions on your behalf.

1.2 License Grant

Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of these Terms, Cluely grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to download, install, and use the Services for your personal or internal business purposes. Your right to use the Services is conditional upon your compliance with these Terms. You shall not modify, distribute, sell, lease, loan, or create derivative works based on the Services or any part thereof. The Services are licensed, not sold, to you.

1.3 Service Changes and Disruptions

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove features or functionality of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Services, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors.

You agree that we have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance of the Services. Nothing in these Terms will be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections, updates, or releases in connection therewith.

2. USER ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENT

2.1 Account Registration

You must create an account ("User Account") to access certain features of the Services. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information as necessary to maintain its accuracy. You are entirely responsible for the security and confidentiality of your account, including your password. Furthermore, you are entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your User Account.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your User Account or any other breach of your account's security. You are responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of the Services. By creating a User Account, you agree to receive service-related electronic communications from us. You may opt-out of receiving promotional emails at any time by following the instructions to unsubscribe provided therein.

2.2 User Representations and Warranties

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that:

  • All registration information you submit will be true, accurate, current, and complete;
  • You have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Terms;
  • You are not using the Services on behalf of any other individual without their consent or knowledge;
  • If you are a minor under the age of 18, you have obtained parental or legal guardian consent to your use of the Services;
  • You will not access the Services through automated or non-human means, unless specifically authorized by Cluely;
  • You will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, including violations of these Terms; and
  • Your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).

2.3 Payment Terms

a. Subscription Options: We offer both free and paid subscription plans. The free version provides limited functionality, showing only partial responses, while paid subscriptions provide full access to all features.

b. Payment Methods: For paid subscriptions, we accept payment via credit card and other electronic payment methods. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made via the Services.

c. Billing Authorization: You agree to pay all charges at the prices then in effect for your subscription and authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider. If your subscription is subject to recurring charges, you consent to our charging your payment method on a recurring basis without requiring your prior approval, until you cancel your subscription. We reserve the right to correct any errors or mistakes in pricing, even if we have already requested or received payment.

d. Auto-Renewal: Unless you opt out of auto-renewal through your account settings, any paid subscription you have signed up for will be automatically extended for successive renewal periods of the same duration as the subscription term originally selected, at the then-current non-promotional rate. To change or cancel paid services, access your account settings. If you terminate a paid service, you may use your subscription until the end of your then-current term, and your subscription will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period.

e. Cancellation Notice: IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING MONTHLY BASIS, YOU MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE PAID SERVICE THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR TERMINATE YOUR CLUELY ACCOUNT BEFORE THE END OF THE RECURRING TERM. PAID SERVICES CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, CLUELY WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID.
