Do I have to grant any licenses to Company or to other users?
Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your User Submission (“User Submission” or “User Submissions”). Please note that in order to use the Service you grant Company certain licenses and that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy (https://www.passio.ai/privacy-policy) to the extent they relate to User Submissions that may also contain your personally-identifiable information.
For all User Submissions, you hereby grant Company a license to translate, modify and reproduce and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services, as described in more detail below. Furthermore you grant Company a license to use User Submission for the purposes of improving the Service, such as for training Company’s machine learning systems. This is a license only – your ownership in User Submissions is not affected.If you store a User Submission in your own personal Company account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”), you grant Company the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and providing the Services necessary to do so.
If you share a User Submission only in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a private message to one or more other users)(a “Limited Audience User Submission”), then you grant Company the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified users, and providing the Services necessary to do so. Also, you grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services and/or in a manner that more than just you or certain specified users can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email, survey form or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, and/or feature requests relating to the Services (“Public User Submission”), then you grant Company the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all Company users and providing the Services necessary to do so, as well as all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights in that Public User Submission in connection with the Services and/or otherwise in connection with Company’s business for any purpose. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sub-licensable, irrevocable, transferable and worldwide, provided that when you delete your Company account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete that content from Company’s records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
You acknowledge that any images and voice samples you upload via Service (including Applications, SDKs and Site) are subject to the preceding paragraph and that Company is likely to use the images and videos collected from you in training and improving Company’s computer vision and recognition technology. You further acknowledge that any content you upload and share through the Service may be used for improving Company’s technology, including the use of your Use Submissions for training neural networks.
If you delete User Submissions from the Service, Passio will use reasonable efforts to remove it from our Services and backend systems, however, in many cases such removal may not be possible. You acknowledge that cached information, references to the Content or backups automatically created by Company’s cloud services provider (currently Google Cloud Platform) may not be made immediately unavailable.
Passio reserves the right (though not the obligation) to delete any User Submissions that, in Passio’s opinion, violates any of the Company policies or is in any way harmful or objectionable. Furthermore, Passio reserves the right to terminate or deny access to and use of our Services to any individual or entity for any reason.
Finally, you understand and agree that Company, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.
What if I see something on the Services that infringes my copyright?
You may have heard of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), as it relates to online service providers, like Company, being asked to remove material that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. We respect others’ intellectual property rights, and we reserve the right to delete or disable Content alleged to be infringing, and to terminate the accounts of repeat alleged infringers; to learn how to report potentially infringing conteearn more about the DMCA, click here.
Who is responsible for what I see and do on the Services?
Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk, and we aren’t liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services.

We’re always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We’ll try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn’t always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
Do the Services cost anything?
The Company Services covered under this Agreement are currently free, but we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services. All commercial uses of the Services require a separate Agreement between you and Company.
What if I want to stop using the Service?
You’re free to do that at any time, by contacting us at support@passiolife.com. Please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.
Company is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our discretion, including your breach of these Terms. Company has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
