Terms of Use
1. Scope
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Noosphere, an online service operated by 410 Labs, Inc. (“410 Labs,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), including the website at getnoosphere.com, the Noosphere application programming interface, the Noosphere Model Context Protocol server, and the Noosphere browser extension (together, the “Service”).
By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” refers to that organization.
2. The Service
Noosphere is an online service. It accepts documents, website pages, and media files that you submit, uses automated and artificial-intelligence techniques to extract, organize, and process the information they contain, and creates graphs showing the relationships and interconnections among that information. The software runs on our servers and is accessed over the internet; it is not downloaded to or installed on your computer.
The Service is under continuing development. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We may impose limits on storage, processing volume, request rates, or other aspects of use, and may change those limits.
3. Your Account
Access requires an account. Accounts are created by signing in with Google Single Sign-On; we do not issue separate Noosphere passwords. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the Google account you use and of any Noosphere API token issued to you, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and old enough in your jurisdiction to enter into a binding contract. Notify us promptly at info@410labs.com if you believe your account or token has been compromised.
4. Content You Submit
“Content” means anything you submit to the Service, including documents, files, media, web addresses, page text captured by the browser extension, and any annotations or sketches you create.
You retain ownership of your Content. You grant 410 Labs a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, analyze, and create derived representations of your Content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service — including extracting entities and relationships from it and incorporating those extractions into the graph as described in Section 5. This license lasts as long as we retain the Content and ends when the Content and its derived representations are deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You represent and warrant that, for all Content you submit:
- you own it, or you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it and to grant the license above;
- submitting it does not violate any law, contract, licensing term, paywall condition, website terms of service, or third-party right; and
- it does not contain material you are under a legal or contractual obligation to keep confidential, unless you are authorized to disclose it to us.
5. The Shared Graph
Please read this section carefully; it describes how Noosphere differs from a private document store.
Noosphere maintains a single shared graph. When the Service processes your Content, the entities and relationships it extracts — the names, organizations, places, events, and the described connections among them, together with the citations that support them — are added to that shared graph and are readable by other registered users of the Service. Where an entity you contribute matches an entity already in the graph, the two are resolved into one, and evidence from multiple users’ sources may be attached to the same node.
Your original uploaded files, and the sketches and collections you create, remain private to your account unless you choose to share them with a group or publish them to a public link. The extracted graph data described above is not private in this way.
Do not submit Content whose extracted facts you are unwilling to have other registered users see. If you need graph isolation for confidential material, contact us before submitting it.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- violate any law, or infringe or misappropriate any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, or other right;
- harass, stalk, threaten, defame, or surveil any person, or compile information about an individual for the purpose of harming or intimidating them;
- submit malware, or material that is unlawful, or that depicts the sexual exploitation of minors;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users’ accounts, or our systems; probe or test the vulnerability of our infrastructure without our written permission; or circumvent any access limit, rate limit, or authentication mechanism;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable under applicable law;
- resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties as a service of your own; or
- interfere with, disrupt, or place an unreasonable load on the Service or the networks connected to it.
7. Automated Analysis and Accuracy
The Service uses artificial intelligence and other automated techniques to read your Content and infer entities and relationships from it. These techniques are probabilistic. They make mistakes. Extracted entities may be misidentified, distinct people with similar names may be merged or wrongly kept apart, relationships may be overstated, understated, or invented, and transcriptions of audio may be inaccurate.
Output of the Service is a research aid, not a finding of fact. You are responsible for verifying anything you rely on against the underlying sources, which the Service records and displays for this purpose. Do not use the Service as the sole basis for any decision with legal, financial, employment, medical, safety, or reputational consequences for any person.
8. Third Parties
The Service relies on third-party providers, including Google for authentication and providers of artificial-intelligence model inference and cloud hosting. Your use of the Service is also subject to those providers’ terms where applicable. The Service may link to or ingest third-party websites and materials; we do not control and are not responsible for them.
9. Our Materials
The Service, including its software, design, text, and graphics, is owned by 410 Labs or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. NOOSPHERE and the Noosphere logo are trademarks of 410 Labs, Inc. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service. No other rights are granted, whether by implication or otherwise.
10. Reporting Copyright Violations
If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to info@410labs.com that identifies the copyrighted work, identifies the material you claim is infringing with enough detail for us to locate it, gives your contact information, and states that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized and that the information in your notice is accurate. We will respond to valid notices and may remove material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
11. Fees
The Service is currently provided free of charge. We intend to introduce affordable paid subscription plans, and we may in future charge for some or all of the Service. If we do, we will give you notice before any charge applies to you, and you may decline by discontinuing use. Any paid plan we introduce will be governed by the pricing terms presented at the time of purchase. Nothing in this section obliges us to keep any part of the Service free.
12. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account by writing to info@410labs.com. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your use threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Service, or if we are required to do so by law.
On deletion of your account we remove your Content in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Note that entities and relationships previously contributed to the shared graph, and any material other users have independently corroborated or built upon, may persist in the graph after your account is closed.
13. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 410 LABS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT IT PRODUCES WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
14. Limitations of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, 410 LABS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS 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 OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 410 Labs and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of Content you submit, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice through the Service. Your continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
17. Governing Law
These Terms and the relationship between you and 410 Labs are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You and 410 Labs agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Baltimore, Maryland for the resolution of any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service.
18. Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and 410 Labs concerning the Service and supersede any prior agreement on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Sections 4, 5, 9, and 13 through 18 survive termination.
