    1. Meta ("Meta", " we", "us" or "our") provides an online software platform under the Wit.ai brand (or any successor version of such brand) that enables developers to build and deploy natural language interfaces for products, devices and applications (the "Platform"). If you reside in the European Region (as defined here), "Meta" means Meta Platforms Ireland, Ltd., an Irish limited liability company with its principal place of business at Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. If you reside anywhere else, "Meta" means Meta Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, United States.
    2. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legal agreement between you and Meta governing your access to and use of the "Services". The Services means the website (at https://wit.ai/) (the " Website"), the Platform and/or any application programming interfaces, tools, code, technology, materials, data, and/or content made available by us to you, for the purpose of developing natural language interfaces for use in your product(s), device(s) and/or software application(s) (collectively, "Your Application(s) "). These Terms apply to your use of the Services and do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Meta for other products, services or otherwise (including the Facebook platform).
    3. By accepting these Terms, you represent and warrant that (a) to the extent permitted by law, you are not a consumer, (b) you are at least eighteen (18) years old or the legal age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you reside, and (c) if you are using the Services on behalf of an entity, you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms and you agree on behalf of such entity to be bound by these Terms (and for clarity, all other references to "you" in these Terms refer to such entity). You may not use the Services and may not accept the Terms if you are a person with whom Meta is prohibited from transacting business under applicable law, or you are a person barred from using or receiving the Services from Meta or under the applicable laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Services.
    4. If you fail to comply with these Terms or any other applicable terms or policies, we may suspend or terminate your Wit account and your access to the Services, as described below. If you reside in the United States or your business is located in the United States, these Terms require the resolution of most disputes between you and Meta by binding arbitration on an individual basis; class actions and jury trials are not permitted. Capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 13 ("Glossary").
    1. Account and Registration. You need to use a current account or create a new account in the log-in platform supported by Wit.ai in order to access and use the Services.
      1. The Services are intended solely for developers who are 18 or older. Any registration for, or use of, the Services by anyone under the age of 18 or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms.
      2. By registering to use the Services, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete account information, and (b) maintain the security of your password, not share your password with any other person and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your account.
      3. You must be a human. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted.
      4. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account (including, without limitation, Your Content) provided under or through your account.
      5. You may never use another developer's account without permission. Your login may only be used by one person and a single login shared by multiple individuals is not permitted.
    2. Your Wit App. The Platform includes a project repository designed to allow you to access, input, and store data in connection with your natural language interface project ("Your Wit App"). Data contained in Your Wit App may include Your Content and Platform Content. You may choose to set Your Wit App to private (" Private App") or make Your Wit App open to other users ("Open App"). If you choose to use an Open App, you acknowledge and agree that any content you provide in connection with your use of the Platform (including Your Content) will be available to other users of the Platform and expressly authorize the use of such data by other users as permitted by the functionality of the Platform.

To the extent permitted under applicable law, Meta reserves the right to terminate these Terms with you, or to discontinue or suspend the Services or any portion or feature or your access thereto, for any reason or no reason and at any time without liability or other obligation to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE META PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
    3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE META PARTIES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS OR GOODWILL, REVENUES, OR DATA; FINANCIAL LOSSES; OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) ARISING AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT, USE OF THE SERVICES EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOUR REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE LIMITED SOLELY TO THE RIGHT TO COLLECT MONEY DAMAGES, IF ANY, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE § 1542, WHICH SAYS: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR." TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CUMULATIVE, AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF META PARTIES, FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THE AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS. IN ALL CASES, META PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXPENSE, LOSS, OR DAMAGE THAT IS NOT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE. THE LAWS OF SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OR ALL OF THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY IN THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
    1. U.S. Claims. If you reside in the United States or your business is located in the United States:
      1. You agree to arbitrate any claim, cause of action or dispute between you and Meta Platforms, Inc. (including our past, present, and future affiliates and agents) that arises out of or relates to any access or use of the Services. This provision does not cover any claims relating to violations of your or our intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, violations of the brand guidelines, violations of your or our confidential information or trade secrets, or efforts to interfere with our Services or engage with our Services in unauthorized ways (for example, automated ways).
      2. We and you agree that, by entering into this arbitration provision, all parties are waiving their respective rights to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. You may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other parties. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular claim (or a request for particular relief) cannot be arbitrated according to the limitations of this Section 11.1, then only that claim (or only that request for relief) may be brought in court. All other claims (or requests for relief) will remain subject to this Section 11.1.
      3. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions.
      4. If any party intends to seek arbitration of a dispute, that party must provide the other party with notice in writing. This notice of dispute to us must be sent to the following address: Meta Platforms, Inc. 1601 Willow Rd. Menlo Park, CA 94025.
      5. The arbitration will be governed by the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), as modified by these commercial terms, and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable, the parties will agree to another arbitration provider or the court will appoint a substitute. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in other arbitrations in which you are not a party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submissions made in arbitration will be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure. The arbitrator's award will be maintained as confidential only to the extent necessary to protect either party's trade secrets or proprietary business information or to comply with a legal requirement mandating confidentiality. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules, except that we will pay for your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000 and is non-frivolous (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
      6. If you do not wish to be bound by this arbitration provision, you must notify us within 30 days of the first date that you accepted any version of these Terms containing an arbitration provision. Your notice to us must be submitted to this address: Meta Platforms, Inc., ATTN: Wit.ai Terms Arbitration Opt-Out, 1601 Willow Rd. Menlo Park, CA 94025.
      7. All claims between us, whether subject to arbitration or not, will be governed by California law, excluding California's conflict of laws rules, except to the extent that California law is contrary to or preempted by federal law.
      8. If a claim between you and us is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
    2. Claims outside the United States. If you reside outside the United States or your business is located outside the United States, you agree that:
      1. Any claim, cause of action, or dispute between you and Meta Platforms, Inc. that arises out of or relates to any access or use of the Services must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and that the laws of the State of California will govern these Terms and any such claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
      2. Any claim between you and Meta Platforms Ireland, Ltd. must be resolved exclusively in the courts of the Republic of Ireland, that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Republic of Ireland for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and the laws of the Republic of Ireland will govern these Terms and any such claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
      3. Notwithstanding (i) and (ii) above, any claim between you and both Meta Platforms, Inc. and Meta Platforms, Ireland Ltd. must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and that the laws of the State of California will govern these Terms and any such claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
      4. If any of the foregoing forum provisions are unenforceable under applicable law, any claim related to the Services may be resolved in a court located in your jurisdiction of residence and the laws of that jurisdiction may apply to such claim.
      5. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that, in our sole discretion, we may also bring any claim we have against you related to efforts to abuse, interfere, or engage with our Services in unauthorized ways in the country in which you reside that has jurisdiction over the claim.
    3. Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11, if any provision of this dispute resolution provision is found unenforceable, that provision will be severed and the balance of the dispute resolution provision will remain in full force and effect.
    1. We may need to update the Terms from time to time, including to accurately reflect the access or uses of our Services, and so we encourage you to check the Terms regularly. By continuing to access or use our Services after any notice of an update to these Terms, you agree to be bound by them. Any updates to the Disputes section of these Terms will apply only to disputes that arise after notice of the update takes place. If you do not agree to the updated terms, please stop all access or use of our Services. You cannot sidestep your compliance obligations under an updated version of the Terms by developing against an older release of the Services or relying on the older Terms and all updates to Your Application(s) are subject to the modified Terms.
    2. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the availability of the Services at any time. In addition, we may impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of our Services without notice or liability. If we elect to provide you with support or modifications for the Services, we may discontinue either at any time without notice to you.
    3. You and Meta are independent contractors with regard to each other. The Agreement does not create any third-party beneficiary rights or any agency, partnership, employment, or joint venture.
    4. If you do not comply with these Terms, and Meta does not take action right away or does not enforce any provision of these Terms, this inaction or lack of enforcement will not act as a waiver by Meta of any rights that it may have (such as taking action in the future) or in any way affect the validity of these Terms or parts thereof.
    5. If a particular provision of these Terms is deemed unenforceable, it will be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable and most nearly reflect the intent of the original provision, and all other provisions in these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
    6. You may not assign or delegate these Terms or any obligations under these Terms without our advance written consent. Any such prohibited attempted assignment will be void. Meta may assign or delegate these Terms and any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without your consent or notice to you. These Terms shall bind the parties and their respective heirs, successors, and permitted assigns.
    7. The Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Meta relating to its subject and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject.
    8. After you agree to these Terms, any written notice, request, or communications from us to you may be provided via email or mail (for example, to the email address or mailing address in your account with us) or via notifications within the Platform (for example, in your account with us). You will keep your contact information current, including name, business name, and email.
