These Terms & Conditions (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the nSEPIA mobile applications (the “App”), the nSEPIA website at https://www.nsepia.com (the “Site”), and all related features, content, software, recommendations, and functionality we provide (together, the “Services”). By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference). If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

By accessing or using any part of the Services, you: (a) acknowledge that you have read and understand these Terms; (b) agree to be legally bound by them and by the Privacy Policy; and (c) represent that you have the authority to accept these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will provide notice of material changes by email, in-app notice, or by posting the revised Terms on the Site or App. Unless a later effective date is stated, changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If any additional terms (e.g., subscription, promotional, or features-specific terms) conflict with these Terms, those additional terms control solely to the extent of the conflict.

1. Defined Terms

For clarity and consistency, the following terms have the meanings set out below and are used with initial capital letters throughout these Terms.

2. Eligibility

The Services are intended for individuals 18 years of age or older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 and will not permit any person under 18 to access the Services through your account or devices.

3. Accounts; Authentication; Security

You may be required to create an Account to use certain features of the Services. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when you create your Account, and you must keep your information up to date. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your Account. We may offer multiple authentication methods, including password-based sign in, onetime passcodes, and third-party sign in through providers such as Apple and Google. When you use a third-party sign-in option, you authorize us to receive the information that the provider discloses under its terms.

We may implement security measures such as rate limiting, device and IP verification, OTP/code verification, CAPTCHA, and temporary lockouts after repeated authentication failures. You must promptly notify on support@nsepia.com, if you suspect unauthorized use of your Account. We are not responsible for losses that result from compromised credentials unless such losses are caused by our breach of these Terms or by our violation of applicable law.

4. Service Communications; Electronic Consent

You consent to receive Service‑related communications electronically, which may include in‑App messages, push notifications, SMS texts, and emails. These communications are necessary to operate the Services and may be non‑optional. We may also send marketing communications where permitted by law. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, and your opt‑out will not affect Service‑related communications. If you disable push notifications or SMS at the operating system level, certain features may not function properly.

By continuing to use the Services, you agree that we may provide disclosures and agreements electronically and that your electronic acceptance will have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature to the fullest extent permitted by law. You may withdraw your consent to receive electronic communications by discontinuing your use of the Services.

5. Technical Requirements; Permissions

Your use of the Services requires compatible hardware, a current operating system, and sufficient Internet bandwidth, which shall be your responsibility. Some features require Device permissions such as access to the camera, location, microphone, files, photos and the ability to send notifications. You may disable these permissions at any time; however, the corresponding features will not function while permissions are disabled. The performance and availability of features may vary by Device, operating system version, territory, and network conditions.

6. Scan Features; Non-Medical Use; HIPAA (U.S.)

The Scan Features are mandatory for the use of Services. If you enable them, you expressly consent to their operation, which uses your Device camera, microphone, and sensors to analyze upper‑body movement (shoulders and above) and to generate wellness insights. The Services also includes to perform facial identification or facial verification. Outputs generated by the Scan Features are probabilistic and may be affected by camera angles, lighting, and other environmental factors. The insights are provided for informational wellness purposes only. They do not constitute medical advice, and they are not intended for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of any disease or condition. You must not rely on the Services for emergencies or as the sole basis for high‑risk decisions such as employment, credit, housing, or other regulated eligibility determinations.

For users in the United States, Nihilent is not a HIPAA‑covered entity when it provides the consumer Services. You must not submit protected health information (PHI) through the consumer Services. If PHI is processed, it will occur only under a duly executed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) within an enterprise deployment.

7. License to Use the Services; Fair-Use Limits

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, and non‑sublicensable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non‑commercial use. You must not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Services; attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or derive source code except where such restriction is prohibited by law; bypass security, usage limits, or digital rights management; or remove proprietary notices.

If you obtained the App through a Store, your use of the App is also governed by the Store’s terms and policies. As Nihilent and the Store, this license is granted by Nihilent and not by the Store, and the Store has no responsibility for the App or its content.

8. Content Access; Streaming-Only; Catalog Changes

Content is licensed to you, not sold. Unless we explicitly provide an offline download feature within the Services, you may only stream Content within the Services. Any offline download that we provide may be encrypted, may expire, and may be revoked. You do not obtain any ownership rights in the Content.

The availability of Content, the arrangement of categories, and our editorial selections may change without prior notice for licensing, technical, or editorial reasons. Territorial and Device limitations may apply for accessing the Content. The removal or modification of specific Content or experimental features does not entitle you to any refund or credit unless applicable law requires otherwise.

9. User-Generated Content; Feedback

If you post or submit comments, ratings, post‑session reactions, reviews, uploads, or other materials ("UGC"), you grant us a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, display, and adapt your UGC solely to operate, provide, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Services, including through service providers and sub‑processors. This license will end when you delete the UGC from the Services, subject to reasonable backup and archival retention and legal holds. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for your UGC and that your UGC does not violate the law or the rights of any third party. If you provide ideas or suggestions ("Feedback"), you grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use the Feedback without restriction or attribution.

We may also offer free trials that convert to paid subscriptions at the disclosed price unless you cancel before the trial ends. We may restrict trials or promotions to one per user, household, or IP address to prevent abuse.

(d) Platform Purchases Control. If you purchase a subscription through a Store, the Store’s billing, tax, cancellation, and refund policies will apply and may override these Terms. You must initiate refunds and cancellations for Store purchases through the applicable Store. We generally cannot modify Store-managed renewals.

12. Third-Party Services and APIs

The Services may interoperate with Third-Party Services, including Nihilent’s own proprietary products, including but not limited to Emoscape, and other cloud providers. When we engage Third-Party Services to help us provide the Services, those third parties act as our service providers or sub-processors under written terms that require confidentiality, security, and restricted use of your information solely to deliver the Services. Your access to independent platforms such as Apple and Google is subject to those platforms’ own terms. We are not responsible for independent services that we do not control.

13. Experiments, Beta Features, and Staged Rollouts

We continually iterate on the Services using controlled experiments, staged rollouts, feature flags, and model updates. As a result, features, models, user interfaces, and performance characteristics may differ among users over time. We may add, modify, limit, or remove features at any time. Experimental features, previews, and beta releases (collectively, "Beta Features") are provided solely for evaluation and may be subject to additional or updated terms. Beta Features may be less reliable or less accurate than generally available features and may adversely affect Device performance, battery life, or data usage. We may collect diagnostic information and telemetry from Beta Features to improve the Services, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may set usage caps or access windows and may discontinue a Beta Feature at any time without notice. Your decision to enable Beta Features is voluntary, and you agree that Beta Features are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis and may never be released generally.

14. Disclaimers; Experiments; Emergency

The services including the app, the site, the content, the scan features, all insights, analytics, dashboards, scores, classifications, inferences, recommendations, prompts, and any outputs generated or displayed by the services are provided “as is” and “as available.”To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, availability, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

The outputs may be incomplete, incorrect, misleading, untimely, offensive, unsafe, or otherwise unsuitable for your context (sometimes described as “hallucinations”). Model outputs may vary for the same or similar inputs and may change over time as models are retrained or re-configured. You are solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy and appropriateness of any output for use case and for applying independent judgment and safeguards, including human review where appropriate.

You must not rely on the services as the sole source of truth for any high-risk use case.
