TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: January 24, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service (these "Terms") carefully, as they constitute a legally binding agreement between HelloML ("HelloML," "we," "us" or "our") and an end-user and any employees, agents, contractors and any other entity on whose behalf the end-user accepts these terms (collectively, "you" and "your") and apply to your use of our website and Services (as defined below). In case you are utilizing the Services as a representative of a party (e.g. your employer or customer, collectively the "Client"), your acceptance of these Terms also binds the Client.

This is a binding agreement. If you use the Services or click accept or agree to these Terms if presented to you in a user interface for the Services, or you have signed a subscription agreement that serves as a master agreement, you are legally bound by the obligations in these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a Client, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Client to these Terms, and any reference to "you" and "your" will refer and apply to that party. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you shall not use the Service and you should not set up an Account (as defined).

By agreeing to these Terms, you expressly agree that except for limited circumstances, the parties will only resolve disputes by arbitration, solely on an individual basis.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS

You hereby agree to accept these Terms by opening an account under a username, notwithstanding any existing services agreement to which you may also be signatory which incorporated these Terms by reference.

You also agree to abide by other HelloML rules and policies, including our Privacy Policy (which explains what information we collect from you and how we protect it) that are expressly incorporated into and are a part of these Terms. Please read them carefully.

Once you accept these Terms you are bound by them until they are terminated. See Section 7 (Term and Termination).

2. USING THE SERVICES

a. Right to Use and License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, HelloML hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, and revocable right to use the Services, solely for the purposes of utilizing the Service to deploy AI voice agents and solely in the manner described in these Terms and in any technical documentation contained in, or provided with, the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that you are only being granted a right to use the Services and nothing is being sold to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Services under these Terms, or any other rights thereto, other than to use the Service in accordance with the use rights specified and other terms, conditions, and restrictions of these Terms. We reserve all other rights that are not granted in these Terms.

b. What We Provide

The Services include but are not limited to a hosted software solution ("Platform") that allows you to create AI voice agents that can interact with your customers and stakeholders and respond to queries by such individuals in a realistic and conversational manner.

Our Platform provides an orchestration layer that allows you to, either via our API or via the Dashboard, utilize transcription services, process speech through large language models ("LLM" or "AI Model") to generate responses, and convert text to speech to be delivered to stakeholders (the Platform and additional features, such as phone numbers that connect to our Platform, collectively, the "Services").

c. Third-Parties

Our Services interact with third-party service providers (our "Providers") as part of Services. You understand and agree that when you use the various aspects of the Services (i.e. transcription, LLM processing, and voice generation), we may share Your Content (as defined) with each Provider, subject to each Provider's individual terms and conditions. We do not make any representation and warranties on any Provider's behalf, nor are we an agent of any such Provider.

You may in certain instances need to have separate subscriptions with our Providers. Please review the specific terms of service or equivalent agreement which apply to the Provider that you elect to utilize.

d. Use Restrictions

You agree to not, directly or indirectly (and will not permit any third party) to:

10. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS

a. You expressly understand and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, your use of the Services is at your sole risk, and the Services are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults. HelloML expressly disclaims all warranties, representations, and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

b. Except as explicitly provided hereunder, HelloML makes no representation, warranty, or condition with respect to the Services, including but not limited to, the quality, effectiveness, and other characteristics of the Services. HelloML makes no representation or warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or timely. The Services may be subject to delays, cancellations and other disruptions.

d. Unless you have limited the traffic flow to certain limits, we do not stop incoming voice calls to our Platform. As such, you are responsible for payment of all the minutes utilized on our Platform, regardless of whether the voice traffic exceeded your contemplation.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

a. Disclaimer of Certain Damages. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OR COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

b. Cap on Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE BEYOND THE GREATER OF (i) $100 USD, (ii) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE ACTIVITY GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REGARDING DAMAGES APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.

SOME COUNTRIES, STATES, PROVINCES, OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AS STATED IN THIS SECTION, SO THE TERMS HEREIN MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU.

12. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

a. Governing Law

These Terms and all related orders and subscriptions related hereto, and all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms, are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

b. Arbitration

You and HelloML agree that any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to the Service, these Terms, or any additional terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except for: (1) any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to our actual or alleged intellectual property rights; (2) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; (3) any claim for equitable relief.

c. Informal Dispute Resolution

You and HelloML agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve disputes can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and HelloML therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other, we will personally meet or confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this clause ("Informal Dispute Resolution Conference").

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference ("Notice"), which will occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. Notice to HelloML that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to noah@helloml.app.

d. Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU AND HELLOML HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and HelloML are instead electing that all disputes will be resolved by arbitration under these Terms, except as set out under Section 12(b) above.

e. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief

YOU AND HELLOML AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS.

f. Rules and Forum

These Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 12 and any arbitration proceedings. If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and HelloML agree that either party will have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, by one arbitrator alone and such arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute.

13. INTERNATIONAL USE

The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to features and services that are not available in your country. HelloML makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local laws. If you are using the Services and are not in the United States, you agree that the location for dispute resolution is acceptable to you and that you will not challenge the forum as being inconvenient for you.

14. SEVERABILITY, WAIVER

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

15. EXPORT CONTROL

You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

16. NOTICE

All notices required or permitted under these Terms will be in writing, will reference these Terms, and will be deemed given: (i) when delivered personally; (ii) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized express courier, with written confirmation of receipt; (iii) three business days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) when sent by email, on the date the email was sent if sent during normal business hours of the receiving party, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the receiving party. You may give notice to HelloML at the following email address: noah@helloml.app

17. ASSIGNMENT

These Terms, and your rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by you without HelloML's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. HelloML may assign these Terms and any other right or obligation to a party without any consent or notification requirement to you.

18. FORCE MAJEURE

HelloML will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargos, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, strikes or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

19. FINAL TERMS

These Terms, along with any HelloML ordering document such as master agreement, or as found on HelloML's website, make up the final, entire, and exclusive agreement between you and HelloML with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements and discussions, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. No purchase order or other document issued by you in respect of our Services shall control.
