Terms & Conditions

1. Nature of the Service

SocialTrait provides a proprietary Behavioral Simulation Engine that utilizes high-fidelity synthetic agents to predict market responses.

• Predictive Nature: You acknowledge that the Service provides simulations and predictions based on probabilistic models. While SocialTrait strives for high accuracy (benchmarked at 86%+), results are not guarantees of real-world outcomes.
  
• No Professional Advice: The insights provided are for informational purposes to assist in decision-making and do not constitute legal, financial, or professional advice.
  

2. Intellectual Property Rights

• The Platform: SocialTrait retains all rights, titles, and interests in the Behavioral Simulation Engine, including its algorithms, synthetic persona parameters, "Social Contagion" modeling techniques, and software.
• Client Assets: You retain all ownership of the data, creative assets, and narratives you upload to the platform (“Client Content”).
• Output Data: Upon full payment, you own the specific simulation reports and data generated for your brand. However, SocialTrait retains the rights to the underlying "Synthetic Personas" and the methodology used to generate the output.
  

3. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the SocialTrait platform to:

• Generate simulations for illegal, discriminatory, or malicious purposes.

• Input sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) of real-world individuals into the simulation engine.

4. Data Privacy & Security

• Non-Training Clause: SocialTrait guarantees that Client Content (proprietary narratives, unreleased packaging, etc.) is never used to train global or public LLMs. Your data remains siloed within your enterprise environment.
  

5. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SocialTrait shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from business decisions made based on the Service's predictive outputs. The use of the Service is at the Client’s sole risk regarding the commercial success of their products or campaigns.

6. Subscription & Payment

• Custom Pricing: As an enterprise-grade service, pricing is based on the complexity of the research, the number of virtual communities, and data volume as outlined in your specific Service Agreement or Statement of Work (SOW).
  
• Termination: Either party may terminate the agreement according to the notice period specified in your SOW. Upon termination, access to the platform will cease, but historical reports may be retained subject to the terms of your agreement.
  

7. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to maintain the strict confidentiality of all non-public information received from the other party. This includes pre-launch marketing strategies (from the Client) and proprietary simulation methodologies (from SocialTrait).

8. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia (for AU-based contracts) or the State of California, USA (for US-based contracts), without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
