Registration and access
Skipper is available only to people who are at least 13 and old enough under local law to consent to the service. Anyone younger than 18 needs approval from a parent or legal guardian.
Account details must be complete and correct. Keep your login for your own use and accept responsibility for what happens through your account. Anyone opening or using an account for somebody else must be authorized to accept these Terms for them.
An organization that adds your account to its workspace may let its administrators manage the account, view Content, or limit your access.
Using Skipper
You may use Skipper while you follow these Terms, applicable law, and any other rules we publish for the service.
Certain features or results may come from third parties. Their own terms govern those products and services, and Skipper does not take responsibility for them.
We may make use of suggestions or other feedback you send us, without owing payment or imposing limits on that use.
Neither you nor anyone acting for you may:
- Use Skipper for unlawful, harmful, or abusive conduct, or in a manner that violates another person’s rights.
- Rent, sell, resell, distribute, copy, or adapt the service itself.
- Try to derive source code or uncover internal components through decompilation, reverse engineering, or similar methods, unless the law gives you a non-waivable right to do so.
- Collect data or Output with bots, scripts, or other automated means outside the tools we provide.
- Pass off AI-generated material as work created by a person.
- Evade usage caps, security controls, safety measures, or other restrictions, or otherwise disrupt the service.
Content
Files, data, instructions, messages, and other material sent into Skipper are “Input.” Material the service produces from Input is “Output.” We call both of them “Content.” You are accountable for your Content, including its legality and compliance with these Terms, and confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit Input.
Any ownership you already had in Input stays with you. Where the law allows, Output belongs to you, and we transfer to you whatever rights we may hold in that Output.
AI systems can produce the same or similar material for different users. Rights in your Output do not give you rights in material produced for somebody else or supplied by a third party.
Skipper may process Content to operate, maintain, develop, improve, and protect the service, meet legal duties, and apply our rules. You can opt out of using Content for product improvement by following the process in our Privacy Policy. An opt-out does not restrict processing required to provide, secure, or support Skipper.
Accuracy
Because Skipper relies on probabilistic AI and machine-learning systems, Output can be wrong, incomplete, out of date, or non-unique.
- Treat Output as a starting point, not your only source of facts or a replacement for qualified professional advice.
- Check whether Output is correct and appropriate before you use or share it, with human review whenever the situation calls for it.
- Do not base a decision about a person’s credit, education, job, housing, insurance, legal rights, medical care, or a similarly important matter on Output about that person.
- Problematic or offensive material may appear in Output and does not express Skipper’s position. Mentioning a third party does not indicate a relationship with or endorsement by that party.
Our intellectual property
Skipper and its affiliates retain every right in the service itself. Our name and brand assets may be used only with our written approval.
Paid accounts
Purchases require accurate billing details and a working payment method. Subscription charges recur at the interval you selected until cancellation. Taxes are your responsibility. We may reduce or pause paid access when a charge does not go through.
A paid subscription can be cancelled at any time. Amounts already paid are not refundable unless the law says otherwise, and mandatory cancellation rights remain unaffected.
Prices may change. A higher subscription price will apply no sooner than your next renewal, after at least 30 days’ notice.
Any prepaid service credits we offer will carry the conditions shown at the time of purchase.
Suspension and termination
You are free to stop using Skipper whenever you choose.
Access may be suspended or ended when you break these Terms, when legal compliance requires it, or when your use creates a risk of harm to the service, its users, or another person.
Discontinuation of Skipper
If we permanently withdraw Skipper, we will notify users beforehand and return the unused portion of prepaid service.
Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, SKIPPER IS OFFERED “AS IS.” SKIPPER, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS MAKE NO EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR WARRANTIES ARISING FROM PRIOR DEALINGS OR TRADE PRACTICE.
WE DO NOT PROMISE CONTINUOUS OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, ACCURATE RESULTS, OR THAT CONTENT WILL REMAIN SECURE, UNCHANGED, OR AVAILABLE. RELIANCE ON OUTPUT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Limitation of liability
SKIPPER, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS LICENSORS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY LOSSES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA, EVEN WHEN THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS WAS KNOWN.
THE MOST WE WILL OWE IN TOTAL UNDER THESE TERMS IS THE GREATER OF US$100 OR WHAT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE INVOLVED IN THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE.
THESE EXCLUSIONS AND CAPS OPERATE ONLY AS FAR AS APPLICABLE LAW PERMITS. THEY MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN SOME JURISDICTIONS.
Indemnity
When the Customer is a business or organization, it will, where the law permits, cover Skipper, its affiliates, and their personnel against third-party claims and the resulting losses, liabilities, expenses, and legal fees arising from its Content, its use of the service, or its breach of these Terms.
Dispute resolution
Each side must first give the other written notice and spend 60 days trying to settle a dispute informally. Send your notice to the email below; ours will go to the email on your account. Filing deadlines pause during this 60-day process.
Unless an exception in this section applies, a dispute connected with Skipper or these Terms will be decided in final, binding arbitration between the individual parties. National Arbitration and Mediation will administer the case under its relevant rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern.
You can reject arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms or within 30 days of a change to this arbitration provision. Use the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and include your name and account email.
Claims may proceed only for an individual party. Neither side may pursue a class, consolidated, or representative case, and both sides give up a jury trial where the law permits.
An individual small-claims case and a request for an injunction against unauthorized use, abuse, or intellectual-property infringement may proceed without arbitration. An unenforceable term in this section will be severed, but if the class waiver cannot be enforced, this arbitration section as a whole will not apply.
Copyright complaints
Tell us at the email below if material on Skipper infringes your intellectual-property rights. We may restrict access to material identified in a complaint and may end access for repeat infringers.
Your notice should identify and locate both the protected work and the challenged material, provide your contact details and signature, and confirm in good faith that the use lacks authorization. It must also confirm that the notice is accurate and that you may act for the rights holder.
General terms
You cannot transfer these Terms or the rights and duties they create. We may transfer ours to a Skipper affiliate, subsidiary, or successor.
Legal or regulatory developments, safety or security needs, events outside our control, routine product evolution, or new technology may require us to change Skipper or these Terms. We will use email to give at least 30 days’ notice when a change materially disadvantages you. Other revisions apply when published. Stop using Skipper if you do not accept a revision.
Not enforcing a term immediately does not waive it. If a term cannot be enforced as written, it will apply as far as the law allows and the rest of the agreement remains in force.
All applicable sanctions, trade, and export-control rules must be followed. Skipper may not be used for an embargoed location, a restricted party, or a prohibited end use. Do not submit Input that needs a government license before it can be released or exported.
Together with any terms shown for a particular service or purchase, these Terms are the complete agreement about Skipper. The law of the jurisdiction where Starry Nite, Inc. has its principal place of business governs, without its conflict-of-law rules. Court proceedings permitted outside arbitration must be filed in the courts located in that jurisdiction.
Translations are provided for convenience. If a translated version conflicts with the English version, the English version controls to the extent permitted by law.
