By accessing or using the website (https://helpmee.ai), you agree to be legally bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms"), which form an agreement between you and Tim Tanida, the individual operating the helpmee.ai website, henceforth referred to as "helpmee.ai", "we", "us", or "our". If you do not agree to all Terms, then you are expressly prohibited from accessing the website or using any services provided through the website (all together, "Services") and must discontinue use immediately. These Terms apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, subscribers, and/ or contributors of content.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information. Although it does not form part of these Terms, it is an important document that you should read.

Services Description


helpmee.ai is a subscription-based software-as-a-service platform that provides subscribed users with the ability to communicate with an artificial intelligence (AI) model in natural language to receive guidance on solving technical or computer-related problems. Upon subscription, users are allocated a specific amount of time each month to interact with the AI, based on their chosen subscription package. This allocated time is reset at the beginning of each subscription month. Unused time from the previous month does not carry over. Interaction with the AI is calculated on a per-minute basis, rounding up to the nearest minute. This means that engaging with the AI for any portion of a minute will count as one full minute against the user's monthly time allocation.

Registration and Access


Minimum Age. You must be at least 18 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use the Services.

Registration. You must provide accurate and complete information to register for an account to use our Services. You may not share your account credentials or make your account available to anyone else and are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. If you create an account or use the Services on behalf of another person or entity, you must have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf. By using the Services, you affirm that you have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Legal Terms. This includes understanding and accepting the rights and obligations provided herein. You commit that your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation. It is your responsibility to ensure that your activities conform to all legal standards and requirements.

Free Plan Abuse Prevention. To prevent abuse of the free plan, only one account per device and network is permitted. Attempts to circumvent this restriction, including but not limited to creating multiple accounts using disposable emails, VPNs, proxies, or other deceptive means, are strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to monitor devices and networks using appropriate methods (e.g., IP address checks, device fingerprinting) to enforce this rule. If we detect any violation, such as attempts to bypass these restrictions, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the offending account(s) without prior notice. This includes cases where multiple accounts are created from the same device or network, or if suspicious behavior is detected. Any such termination will be final and non-negotiable.

Eligibility for Use


Only Natural Persons. Our Services are designed and provided exclusively for the use of natural persons. This means that only individuals, and not businesses, corporations, governmental entities, or any other types of organizations, are eligible to use our Services. By registering for an account and using our Services, you affirm that you are a natural person and that you are not using our Services on behalf of any business entity or organization.

Content


Your Content. You may provide input to the AI model as part of the Services ("Input"), and receive output from the AI model based on your Input ("Output"). Input and Output, as they pertain specifically to the interactions with the AI model, are collectively referred to as "Content." You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.

Our Use of Content. We do not access or use your Content for any purposes beyond the operation of the AI model. The Content is processed in real-time and is not saved or analyzed. However, to provide our Services, this Content may be processed by third-party service providers, including those outside the EU. We want to assure you that such processing is conducted under secure and privacy-compliant conditions, in line with the safeguards detailed in the 'International Transfers of your Personal Data and Safeguards' section of the Privacy Policy.

Accuracy. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving technologies. We continuously strive to enhance the accuracy, reliability, safety, and utility of our Services, including the underlying AI model. However, due to the inherent probabilistic nature of machine learning, interactions with our AI model may occasionally generate Output that does not accurately represent real people, places, or facts. Additionally, the Output may not always provide accurate guidance or solutions for solving your technical problems. It's important for users to apply their own judgment and verify any provided solutions against reliable sources or professional advice.

When you use our Services you understand and agree:

  • Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
  • You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
  • You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them.
  • Our Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent helpmee.ai's views. If Output references any third party products or services, it doesn't mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with helpmee.ai.

Dispute Resolution


Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and minimize the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising from or related to these Terms of Service (each a "Dispute" and collectively, "Disputes"), brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) according to its rules, which, by reference to this clause, are deemed incorporated into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Barcelona, Spain. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Terms of Service shall be the substantive law of Spain.

Restrictions. The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Barcelona, Spain, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
