Usage thresholds are defined in Schedule A - Fair Use Policy, available publicly at [URL], with real-time consumption metrics visible in user dashboard.

3. Security Responsibilities

Users must report suspected unauthorized access within 72 hours (extended to 14 days for EU/UK users under GDPR). BrinPage maintains SOC 2-compliant security infrastructure but users remain responsible for credential protection. AI outputs include digital integrity watermarks and carry limited warranty against material defects verifiable through our Validation API.

4. AI-Generated Content

All code outputs, documentation, and visualizations produced through the Services ("Generated Assets") undergo rigorous quality assurance processes but are provided without explicit warranty. Users must independently verify Generated Assets for functionality, security, and compliance with target deployment environments. The Company disclaims responsibility for any damages arising from implementation of Generated Assets in production systems.

5. Intellectual Property Framework

BrinPage retains exclusive ownership of all platform components including but not limited to neural network architectures, training methodologies, UI/UX patterns, API structures, and documentation systems. The limited license granted to users applies only to final code outputs ("Artifacts") and specifically excludes intermediate model weights, latent space representations, or any proprietary data structures generated during the code synthesis process. Commercial use of Artifacts in products generating over $1M annual revenue requires written authorization and potential royalty agreements.

User-provided materials including code snippets, specification documents, and design assets ("User Content") remain user property subject to irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable license allowing BrinPage to use, modify, and derive works from User Content for platform improvement and commercial operations. This includes rights to process User Content through machine learning models, generate synthetic training data, and incorporate anonymized patterns into public-facing features. Users warrant they possess necessary rights to all submitted User Content and indemnify BrinPage against third-party IP claims arising from User Content processing.

5.2 Intellectual Property Rights

Users grant BrinPage a non-exclusive license limited to service operation and improvement. ML training opt-out available in account settings. Commercial use requires attribution ("Powered by LiftCode") in projects exceeding 30% AI-generated code. Royalty-free up to $10M annual revenue, with negotiated licenses beyond this threshold.

6. Transparent Credit System

1 credit = 10.5s ±0.5s of NVIDIA A100 GPU time or 1024 tokens (whichever occurs first), measured per ISO/IEC 23894:2023 standards. Paid credits never expire. Unused free credits roll over for 3 months. Detailed consumption logs available via API with dispute resolution within 7 business days.

7. Restricted Use Cases

Prohibited applications include medical devices (ISO 13485), nuclear systems (IAEA standards), and autonomous vehicles (SAE J3016). Users must complete compliance checklist before deploying in financial (PCI DSS) or government (NIST 800-171) contexts. BrinPage provides automated IP screening using Copyright Office databases, with indemnification for verified platform errors.

8. Data Handling

All data processing operations comply with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework standards. User Content undergoes automatic classification using proprietary AI models to detect sensitive information (PII, PHI, financial data) which triggers enhanced encryption protocols. Processing data is segmented into three tiers: (1) Ephemeral Cache (retained ≤24 hours for real-time operations), (2) Active Project Storage (retained ≤30 days post-last access), and (3) Archival Backups (encrypted snapshots retained ≤5 years for legal compliance).

Data sovereignty requirements can be negotiated through enterprise contracts, allowing specification of geographic storage regions and custom retention schedules. All cross-border data transfers utilize EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with supplementary technical safeguards. Breach notification protocols adhere to GDPR Article 33 timelines (72 hours) for EU users and CCPA requirements for California residents, with proportional extensions for less critical incidents based on NIST Risk Assessment Framework classifications.

8.1 Compliant Data Management

Data retention: 30 days active, 13 months archival (adjustable per GDPR/LGPD requests). Deletion tool available in dashboard with automated chain-of-custody reports. Regional pods available in EU (Frankfurt), NA (Virginia), and APAC (Singapore) with data localization locks. Breach notifications within 96 hours globally, aligned with strictest applicable law.

9. Service Availability

Target uptime for core services is 99.5% monthly, excluding scheduled maintenance windows announced 72 hours in advance. Beta features carry no uptime guarantees and may be modified or discontinued without notice. The Company maintains global CDN infrastructure but makes no guarantees regarding regional availability or performance consistency across geographical locations.

10. Third-Party Integrations

The platform integrates with various external services including GitHub, AWS, and Docker Hub. These integrations are provided "as-is" and the Company accepts no liability for third-party service disruptions. Users must maintain valid licenses for all integrated services and assume responsibility for credential management across connected platforms. API call limits apply to prevent service abuse.

11. Fair Payment Terms

EU/UK users receive 14-day statutory refund rights. Pro-rata refunds for unused paid credits within 30 days. Chargebacks resolved through mediation before suspension. Price changes exempt existing contracts for 6 months. Enterprise SLAs include quarterly true-up adjustments.

12. Liability Structure

Under no circumstances shall BrinPage's aggregate liability exceed the total fees paid by user during the 12-month period preceding the claim. This limitation applies to all causes of action including contract, tort, strict liability, and statutory claims. Explicit exclusions include: damages arising from unauthorized third-party access to user credentials; implementation of Generated Assets in unvalidated production environments; misuse of API endpoints through rate limit violations; and failures caused by incompatible third-party software or hardware configurations.
