Your Content: You may create Gay Companions by defining their physical and personality traits using our tools. You are solely responsible for the content you provide ("Input"), ensuring it complies with these Terms and all applicable laws. You warrant that you have the necessary rights to submit such content. You agree not to upload, generate, or request content that involves real minors (including simulated or fictional representations perceived as minors), non-consensual acts, or any material that violates applicable local, national, or international law. OttoLab reserves the right to remove such content without prior notice and may report violations to relevant authorities, in compliance with laws such as the U.S. FOSTA-SESTA and Brazil's Child and Adolescent Statute.

Ownership of Content: All Gay Companions, platform design, logos, and proprietary technology are the exclusive property of OttoLab or its licensors. Unauthorized reproduction, modification, or distribution of intellectual property is prohibited and may lead to legal action.

License to OttoLab: By uploading or sharing content, you grant OttoLab a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, distribute, modify, display, or create derivative works of your content, consistent with our Privacy Policy. This license terminates upon deletion of your content or account, except for content used in commercial contexts, which persists until discontinued.

User Identification: We may use your username and related account information in accordance with your privacy settings and our Privacy Policy.

Opt-Out: If you do not wish your content to train our models, you may opt out by contacting pryda.ai@gmail.com. Note that this may limit certain functionalities.

Accuracy: AI and machine learning are evolving fields. While we strive to improve accuracy and safety, outputs may occasionally be incomplete, incorrect, or misaligned with real-world facts. You agree not to rely on outputs as a sole source of truth or for critical decisions (e.g., legal, medical) about individuals.

Please note that while we respect your privacy, content generated using public features (such as heartokens or shared avatars) may be stored or processed for operational and moderation purposes, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Users acknowledge that all prompts and generated content may be automatically filtered, blocked, or moderated, and that blocked or refused prompts do not entitle the user to refunds.

Users may not attempt to circumvent moderation systems, including by using synonyms, symbols, or obfuscated spellings.

OttoLab may retain minimal records of blocked attempts strictly for purposes of security, auditing, and legal reporting.

Dispute Resolution

YOU AND OTTOLAB AGREE TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER AS FOLLOWS:

Mandatory Arbitration: Disputes arising from these Terms or Services will be resolved through final, binding arbitration. You may opt out within 30 days of account creation or updates to these terms by emailing pryda.ai@gmail.com. If opted out, the prior arbitration terms apply.

Informal Resolution: Both parties must attempt to resolve Disputes informally via email (pryda.ai@gmail.com for you; your registered email for us) within 60 days. A settlement conference may be requested. Statutes of limitations are tolled during this period.

Arbitration Forum: If unresolved, arbitration will be conducted under the administration of the CAM-CCBC (Centro de Arbitragem e Mediação da Câmara de Comércio Brasil-Canadá), in accordance with its applicable rules. The proceedings will be held in São Paulo, Brazil, and may be conducted in Portuguese or English, as agreed by the parties. The arbitrator will be a retired judge or licensed attorney with experience in technology or commercial disputes.

Procedures: The arbitrator has exclusive authority, except courts in São Paulo/Brazil may handle enforceability or class action waiver disputes. Settlement offers remain confidential until the final award.

Exceptions: Claims in small claims court or for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or intellectual property issues are exempt from arbitration.

Class and Jury Waiver: Disputes must be individual; class actions are prohibited. Only individual relief is available. Public injunctive relief may be severed post-arbitration. Both parties waive jury trials.

Batch Arbitration: If 25+ similar claims arise within 90 days, they may be batched (up to 50 per batch) with a single arbitrator, unless invalid for a claimant, then arbitrated individually.

Severability: If any arbitration term is unenforceable, it will be severed unless it allows class actions, rendering this section void.
