4. Content & Data

4.1 “Content” includes data, prompts, files, and outputs you submit to or receive from the Platform. You retain ownership of your Content but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, and use it as necessary to provide the Platform, improve our services (subject to opt-out rights), and comply with law. 
4.2 You warrant that your Content does not infringe third-party rights or violate law, and that you have all permissions required to supply it. 
4.3 We may remove or block Content that breaches the Agreement or law without liability. 

5. AI, LLM & Third-Party Services

5.1 The Platform uses large-language models (LLMs) and integrates with external APIs, cloud infrastructure, analytics, the Australian Government’s VEVO system, and other third-party services (collectively, “External Services”). Availability, accuracy, and security of External Services are outside our control. 
5.2 AI outputs are probabilistic, may contain errors or bias, and are provided “as-is” for informational purposes only. You must independently verify outputs before relying on them.

6.3 Except as required by the Australian Consumer Law, fees are non-refundable.

7. Privacy & Data Security

7.1 Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information. By using the Platform, you consent to those practices. 
7.2 We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures. You acknowledge, however, that no internet service is completely secure. 
7.3 If either party becomes aware of unauthorised access to personal information held in connection with the Platform that is likely to result in serious harm, it must notify the other party promptly and cooperate to comply with the Notifiable Data Breach scheme in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

8. Consumer Guarantees & Disclaimers

8.1 Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) that cannot be excluded.

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • Indirect Loss – TenPod is not liable for indirect, special, consequential, or punitive loss, including lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data.
  • Cap – TenPod’s aggregate liability in any 12-month period for all claims is capped at the total fees paid by you for the Platform in that period.

11.2 Either party may terminate for material breach not remedied within 14 days’ written notice or for insolvency. Upon termination, licences cease and you must stop using the Platform. Clauses that by their nature should survive (including 4, 5, 8-12, 14) will survive.

12. Changes to Terms or Platform

We may update these Terms or modify the Platform by posting the revised version online or emailing you at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use before the change applies.

13. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
