Terms of Service

By accessing or using PRAMPTA ("Service"), operated by PRAMPTA Corporation ("Company", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may modify these Terms; for material changes we will provide reasonable advance notice (for example by email or a prominent notice in the Service) before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

PRAMPTA operates an authorization registry for generative AI. The Service consists of: (a) Registration — tools for a person, or an authorized agent or organization, to record a subject (an identifiable person, character, brand, or work) with display settings and licensing rules; (b) Licensing — tools for a subject's controller to negotiate, sign (Ed25519), issue, revoke in whole or in part, and manage licenses. Licenses are issued in two classes: RND (research, educational and editorial use) and PRM (commercial use); (c) Personal-use record (STD) — personal use of a registered subject is recorded, not licensed. STD is a usage record: it grants no permission on anyone's behalf, is not a license, and does not establish that a generation was lawful. A subject's controller cannot restrict or price it; the fixed limits that apply to it are set by the Service; (d) Usage reports (Connect Step 1) — an API (POST /v1/observations) through which a connected AI provider reports, after the fact, that it generated, changed, published, or removed an output depicting a registered subject. A report is the provider's own statement: we record it and show it to the subject's controller, we do not verify what an output depicts, and a report never authorizes anything; (e) Pre-generation verification (Connect Step 2) — an API (POST /v1/verify) returning a signed decision on a declared generation request, against the registry as it then stands: allow (a license covers it), not_blocked (personal use we do not object to — which grants nothing), or a refusal; (f) Receipts & provenance — recording cryptographically bound attestations of generations that occurred under a decision; (g) Evidence & assertions — signed evidence bundles for compliance review or litigation, and signed statements for embedding in content credentials (C2PA); (h) Operator review — human review of authority evidence and commercial-enablement requests, recorded as audit entries; (i) Software — a web dashboard, client SDKs, and an MCP server exposing (a)–(h). What the Service is not: we are not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice; we are not the rights holder of any subject; a registration begins as a self-asserted claim; operator review is not a judicial determination or a guarantee of ownership; we do not generate, host, or distribute AI output; we do not adjudicate ownership disputes; a decision authorizes a declared intention and is advisory at the model boundary — enforcement there is the provider's contractual duty, not our technical capability; we see only what connected providers report or ask about, not every generation or publication online. Where a license's structured fields and its display-only rules text differ, the structured fields control.

You must provide accurate, complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activities under your account. You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to hold an account and use the Service, and you confirm this when you register. This age requirement is about who may operate an account — it does not limit who may be registered as a subject. A subject of any age, including a minor, may be registered by an account holder who meets the age requirement above (typically a parent, guardian, or authorized agent); see "Likeness & Identity Consent" for consent requirements and our Trust Model for the additional protections that apply automatically once a subject is flagged as a minor.

You agree not to: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of applicable export-control or economic-sanctions laws, and you represent that you are not a person or entity subject to such sanctions; (b) attempt to circumvent security measures or verification checks; (c) impersonate another person or entity, or register a subject representing a person, brand, character, or work for which you do not hold the rights or lawful authority; (d) upload or register any content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or that depicts the sexual exploitation or abuse of minors (CSAM); (e) upload content depicting an identifiable person without that person's consent where consent is required; (f) interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by automated extraction of data from the Library or other parts of the Service at volumes or in a manner that a reasonable operator would regard as abusive, except as the Service expressly permits (for example, through published APIs and SDKs); (g) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is not enforceable under applicable law; (h) submit false, abusive, or automated reports; (i) use a subject under the personal-use record (STD), or obtain a free or non-commercial-tier license (including an RND-class license), and then use, sell, sublicense, or arrange payment for the same output or underlying asset for commercial use outside the Service — whether directly or through an undisclosed side arrangement with the rights holder — as a way to avoid the Service's commercial licensing terms; a non-commercial-tier request requires you to affirm this at the time you make it, and that affirmation is a representation we rely on. We may remove content, withdraw subjects, and suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, at our sole discretion and without prior notice; a violation of (i) may also result in a ban of every account involved (both sides of the arrangement), legal action including injunctive relief, and a claim for actual damages and other remedies available under applicable law.

The Service, including its software, design, and documentation, is owned by PRAMPTA Corporation and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of any data you submit to the Service; the license you grant us over that data is described in "User Content & Uploads" below, and we process account data under the Privacy Policy.

The Service uses Ed25519 cryptographic signatures for authentication and integrity verification. If you use self-custody, you are responsible for safeguarding your private key; we cannot recover a key we do not hold. A valid signature is evidence of key use, not conclusive proof that the key holder authorized the action. Report suspected compromise promptly. Where you choose managed custody, we hold the subject's signing key on your behalf and sign only on your instruction or as described in the Service.

You may upload content such as images, names, descriptions, and other materials ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting it, you represent and warrant that you own it or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to submit it and to authorize the uses described here, and that it does not infringe or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service (including showing public subjects in the Library and returning verification results). You are solely responsible for your User Content. We are a neutral registry and do not create, endorse, or assume ownership of User Content.

Registering a subject that represents an identifiable, living person requires that person's informed consent, and the several kinds of consent involved here are not one blanket permission — they cover different things and are collected separately in the product, not implied by each other: (a) account consent — creating an account is agreement to these Terms; the Privacy Policy explains the separate legal bases for account-data processing; (b) registration — registering yourself as a subject is your consent to that specific subject's registry entry existing and to the display settings you choose for it, not to every processing purpose these Terms or the Privacy Policy describe elsewhere, and not to any purpose not yet built into the Service (including model training or an AI system retaining your likeness in memory beyond what a single licensed generation requires) unless a feature says so explicitly when you enable it. Registration also means personal use of the subject, within the fixed limits in §2(c), is recorded rather than refused — you acknowledge this when you register; (c) public display — a subject is publicly visible only under the visibility you configure for it; (d) commercial licensing authorization — is a separate, explicit choice you make when you set commercial terms for a subject, distinct from registering it at all. If you register another person (for example as their agent or organization), you represent and warrant that you have obtained their prior written consent, and that consent must separately cover: the registration itself, the display of associated images and details, and the licensing rules you configure — checking one box does not retroactively cover all three, and a checkbox you tick is not, by itself, proof to a third party that you actually had authority; it is your representation to us, which you must be able to back up. You must retain records of that consent and produce them to us on request. A person whose identity has been registered without authority may file a claim through the Service or contact legal@prampta.com; we may pause or withdraw disputed subjects pending resolution.

Core registration is currently offered free of charge. Rights holders may set prices for licenses to their subjects; those prices are set by the rights holder, not by us. Personal use recorded under STD is never sold. How a license price is divided: 60% to the rights holder, 20% to the AI provider through which the sale was made, and 20% to us; where no AI provider referred the sale, the provider's 20% is retained by us. A checkout may add a separately disclosed processing fee to the buyer's total. Processor charges, taxes, refunds, and chargebacks can affect the amount available for distribution; the actual allocation is governed by the applicable checkout and transaction terms. We do not guarantee that a buyer surcharge exactly offsets our processor costs. Each sale is settled on the division in force when it was made; a later change never applies retroactively. For a commercial license, a prospective licensee may instead (or in addition) propose their own price, which the rights holder may accept, counter, or decline within the Service's negotiation limits. Agreeing on a price alone does not issue a license: payment must be confirmed and the license must be issued under its stated conditions. Current operational status: paid checkout is not enabled for every account at all times. Where it is off, the Service may display pricing terms but does not collect payment or activate a paid license. Where checkout is enabled, payments are processed by a third-party payment processor via a hosted checkout page — our servers never receive full card numbers. When we distribute funds to a rights holder, that payout is likewise handled by our payment processor, not held by us as a balance; amounts payable, if any, are subject to verification of identity and rights, applicable processor fees, and these Terms. The checkout must disclose applicable refund terms before payment. The processor's terms govern its payment service; they do not by themselves determine whether a PRAMPTA license remains valid after a refund or reversal. That consequence must be specified in the applicable license or transaction terms. You are responsible for any taxes arising from amounts you receive through the Service. We may introduce or change Service fees prospectively with reasonable prior notice; fee changes never apply retroactively.

Registration of a subject is a self-asserted claim. We may review evidence of a registrant's authority, but that review is limited and we do not guarantee that any user holds the rights, ownership, or authority they assert over a registered subject. Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, PRAMPTA is not the rights holder and does not guarantee that a registered subject is owned or controlled by the registering user. A registration, license, or verification decision is not a legal determination of ownership and does not constitute legal advice; PRAMPTA is not a court, and a registry entry establishes what PRAMPTA will and will not authorize, not who legally owns anything. Verification results are provided as an informational tool only. Disputes over rights are between the parties involved; we may, but are not obligated to, temporarily freeze, suspend, or withdraw a disputed subject pending resolution — we can control what our own registry authorizes, but we cannot compel an AI provider to comply with a decision, and a provider that ignores a revocation or a dispute freeze is answerable for that under its own agreement with us and under applicable law, not shielded by having once received a valid decision.

PRAMPTA authorizes a declared intention, before generation — it does not review, approve, or vouch for anything a model actually produces. This is a limit of what the Service can observe, not a matter of policy: a verification request carries a hash of the prompt, never the prompt text, together with the modality, categories and purpose the requesting party declares. In the standard verification request we receive the prompt hash and declared model identifier, not the raw prompt, model weights, configuration, or output. Subsequent receipts, provider usage reports, publication links, or complaints may provide more information about an output, but are not independent proof of what the model generated. It follows that a verification decision records one thing: that at that moment, against the registry as it then stood, a licence existed and what it permitted — or, for a not_blocked personal-use answer, that we did not object, which grants nothing. A usage report (Connect Step 1) records only what the provider told us. It is not a representation that any particular output is lawful, accurate, non-infringing, non-defamatory, safe, or even that it resembles what was declared. A permitted request can still produce an unexpected, unwanted, or unlawful result, and it can do so without any party having broken a rule — a model is not a deterministic function of the terms it was licensed under. This applies equally to every class. RND and PRM licences differ in what use is permitted and on what terms, and STD is a record, not a licence; none of them is a level of assurance about the result, and a higher-priced class is not a warranty that its outputs are safer or better vetted. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for generated content, for its distribution, or for any consequence of either. Responsibility for output sits with whoever produced it. The party operating the model chooses the prompt, runs the generation, and decides what to do with the result; that party is responsible for the result and for its own compliance with applicable law, including in respect of anyone depicted. Nothing here reduces our obligations for our own conduct, and nothing here limits liability that applicable law does not allow to be limited — the carve-outs in "Limitation of Liability" below apply to this section too. Nor does this section license anything: conduct forbidden by "Acceptable Use" is still forbidden, and a decision from us is never a defence to it.

We provide a copyright complaint process for content that is infringing, unlawful, or otherwise violates these Terms. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to dmca@prampta.com identifying the content, your rights in it, your contact information, and a good-faith statement; we review notices along the lines of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and act where required by applicable law. If your content was removed and you believe the removal was mistaken, you may submit a counter-notice to the same address containing: identification of the removed content and its prior location, your contact information, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal courts for your address (or San Francisco County, California, if outside the United States). Unless the original reporter files a court action within 10–14 business days of receiving the counter-notice, we may restore the content. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers. The same reporting channel accepts trademark and right-of-publicity complaints; we are not a court and will act on them as an operator, not as an adjudicator. Nothing here waives any of our rights or defenses. Our designated agent for notice of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (registration number DMCA-1079318) — see the DMCA Designated Agent page for contact details.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND NOTHING HERE LIMITS ANY CONSUMER RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED BY CONTRACT — INCLUDING STATUTORY RIGHTS CONSUMERS HAVE IN RELATION TO DIGITAL SERVICES BEING PERFORMED WITH REASONABLE CARE AND SKILL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PRAMPTA CORPORATION, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100) IF YOU HAVE PAID US NOTHING. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND NOTHING HERE LIMITS ANY CONSUMER RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED BY CONTRACT.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PRAMPTA Corporation and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your User Content (including any subject you register); (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of applicable law or of a third party's rights. Where an indemnified claim is based on something you asserted to the Service under your credential or key (such as authority over a subject), this section covers our reliance on that assertion.

Subject to applicable law and any specific transaction terms, we may, where reasonably necessary to protect users, rights holders, or the Service: suspend or terminate an account; pause, freeze, restrict, or withdraw a registered subject; suspend or revoke a license; suspend or revoke an AI provider's credentials or API access; or take an equivalent action against any other record or feature of the Service. We may act urgently without prior notice when appropriate; we provide reasons and review opportunities where applicable law requires them. This discretion is always exercised consistent with applicable law — it is never a basis for unlawful discrimination or for a purpose applicable law does not permit — and, where the digital-services or platform-fairness rules of your jurisdiction require a statement of reasons before restricting access (such as the EU Digital Services Act), we provide one as required. This exists so we can act quickly to protect a subject, another user, or the integrity of the registry when something looks wrong, without first having to build and disclose a complete case — the same reason a payment processor or marketplace can freeze a suspicious account before finishing its investigation. This discretion is not unlimited in its effect: suspending or terminating an account does not, by itself, retroactively unwind a license that was validly issued and paid for before the action, unless the action is because that specific license or the account that obtained it violated these Terms, was fraudulently obtained, or is itself the subject of the enforcement action — a licensee who did nothing wrong does not lose a right they already paid for merely because we later suspended the rights holder's account for an unrelated reason, though we may need to pause new activity on the affected subject while that is sorted out. Upon termination, your right to use the Service otherwise ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at legal@prampta.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any disputes not so resolved shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and the parties consent to their jurisdiction; either party may instead bring an individual claim in a competent small-claims court. Nothing in this section deprives you of mandatory consumer protections of the country where you habitually reside.

Agreement and precedence: these Terms govern use of the Service. A separately accepted signed licence and its frozen transaction terms govern that particular grant; later changes to this page or to documentation do not rewrite an issued licence. The Privacy Policy explains data practices. The Trust Model and product guides describe current implementation and do not override a signed licence or create a warranty of legal compliance. Evolving service: the Service evolves. We may add, change, or discontinue features, APIs, or parts of the Service; for material adverse changes to core functionality we will give reasonable advance notice where reasonably practicable. Features offered in beta or under a feature flag may be modified or withdrawn without notice and are not part of the core Service. Notices: we may provide notices to you by email to the address on your account or by a prominent notice within the Service; email to your account address is deemed received 24 hours after sending. You may send formal notices to legal@prampta.com. Electronic form: you consent to receive agreements, notices, and records electronically, and agree that electronic signatures and records satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing (including the U.S. E-SIGN Act and comparable laws). Where applicable law permits electronic records and signatures, we may use click-through acceptances and cryptographic signatures as evidence of assent and authorization; their legal effect depends on the transaction and applicable law. No agency: these Terms create no agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and us. Users act on their own behalf; we are not a party to licenses issued through the Service, which are agreements between the issuer and the licensee on their signed terms. No third-party beneficiaries: except as expressly stated, these Terms confer no rights on any third party. Cumulative remedies: our rights and remedies are cumulative; exercising one does not exclude others, and no single remedy is exclusive of any other. Injunctive relief: conduct that circumvents verification checks, signatures, or access controls, or extracts data from the Service in breach of these Terms, causes irreparable harm for which monetary damages are inadequate; we are entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief without posting a bond, in addition to all other remedies. Feedback: if you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them to operate and improve the Service, without obligation or compensation. Language: these Terms are written in English; English controls over any translation. Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. No waiver: our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

For questions about these Terms or general legal matters, contact legal@prampta.com; for copyright/trademark/publicity reports, dmca@prampta.com; for abuse reports, abuse@prampta.com.
