Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By accessing the Belt website or by downloading, installing, accessing, or using any Belt software or service, you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of yourself and the organization you represent. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. You represent that you have authority to bind your organization.

2. Definitions

• "Belt," "we," "us" means the Belt entity providing the Services.
• "Services" means the Belt website, desktop applications, and associated cloud services.
• "Customer," "you" means the organization or individual using the Services.
• "Customer Data" means content and data that you or your authorized users submit to or process within the Services.
• "Authorized User" means an individual you permit to use the Services under your account.

3. License & restrictions

Subject to these Terms and timely payment of applicable fees, Belt grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Belt software and Services for your internal business purposes during the applicable subscription term.

You will not, and will not permit any third party to:

• copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Services except as expressly permitted;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by law;
• rent, lease, sell, sublicense, distribute, or provide the Services to third parties as a service bureau;
• circumvent or disable any security, licensing, usage, or access controls;
• use the Services to build a competing product or to benchmark without our consent; or
• remove proprietary notices or use the Services in violation of applicable export, sanctions, or other laws.

4. Accounts & single sign-on

You are responsible for your account, for maintaining the confidentiality of credentials, and for all activity under your account and your Authorized Users. The Services support single sign-on with Google and Microsoft 365. You are responsible for configuring, securing, and de-provisioning access through your own identity provider, and for the acts and omissions of your Authorized Users. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Services to:

• violate any law or third-party right, or infringe intellectual property;
• upload or process data you lack the right or consent to process;
• transmit malware or interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Services;
• attempt unauthorized access to any systems or data;
• generate or distribute unlawful, harmful, harassing, deceptive, or infringing content, or use AI features to do so; or
• use outputs in a manner that violates applicable law or the terms of any model provider.

You are solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy and suitability of any AI-generated output before relying on it.

6. Customer Data & ownership

As between the parties, you own and retain all rights in your Customer Data. You grant Belt a limited, worldwide license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Data solely as necessary to provide and support the Services and as instructed by you. Our processing of personal data within Customer Data is governed by our Data Processing Addendum. You are responsible for the accuracy, quality, and legality of Customer Data and for having the necessary rights and consents.

Belt does not use Customer Data to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy and Security overview.

7. Fees, subscriptions & trials

Fees, subscription terms, renewal, and usage limits are set out in the applicable order form or Signed Agreement. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable, exclusive of taxes, and due in advance; subscriptions may renew automatically. Trials and evaluation access are provided "as is" and may be modified or terminated at any time. Belt may suspend or restrict access for non-payment.

8. Third-party services & AI models

The Services may interoperate with or rely on third-party services that you choose to enable, including cloud AI model providers, identity providers (Google, Microsoft 365), hardware and runtime platforms (such as AMD acceleration and Microsoft Foundry Local), and other integrations. Such third-party services are provided by their respective providers under their own terms and privacy policies.

Belt does not control and is not responsible or liable for any third-party service, model provider, identity provider, or hardware, including their availability, performance, security, accuracy of outputs, or acts or omissions. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to those providers' terms.

9. Intellectual property

Belt and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, software, and all related intellectual property. No rights are granted except as expressly set out in these Terms. If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant Belt a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or obligation to you.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL SOFTWARE AND AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. BELT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BELT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT AI OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BELT AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

BELT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BELT FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) THE MINIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID ANY FEES, BELT'S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

BELT WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR MODEL PROVIDERS, FROM YOUR OR YOUR USERS' CONFIGURATION, INSTRUCTIONS, OR MISUSE, OR FROM RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED OUTPUTS.

These limitations form an essential basis of the bargain and apply regardless of the theory of liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Belt and its affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Customer Data; (b) your use of the Services in violation of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your violation of any third-party right; or (d) your configuration or use of third-party services. Belt will provide prompt notice of the claim and reasonable cooperation.

13. Term, suspension & termination

These Terms apply while you use the Services. Belt may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these Terms, create a security or legal risk, or fail to pay. You may stop using the Services at any time. Upon termination, your license ends and you must cease use; Customer Data is handled as described in the DPA and order form. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law) survive termination.

14. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Delaware, and waive any objection to venue there, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.

15. General

• Export & sanctions. You will comply with applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
• Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without Belt's consent; Belt may assign in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Severability & waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect; no waiver is implied by delay or failure to enforce.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with any Signed Agreement, order form, the DPA, and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement regarding the subject matter.
• Changes. Belt may update these Terms; material changes take effect upon posting the updated "Last updated" date, and your continued use constitutes acceptance.
