Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Animus (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides a platform that deploys and manages AI agents for business use (“Service”). By accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation.

2. AI Output Disclaimer

Our agents are built on large language models (including Anthropic Claude). AI outputs are probabilistic and can be wrong, incomplete, or inconsistent. We make no warranty that any output is accurate, fit for purpose, or free from hallucination.

AI output is provided “as-is” as a productivity aid only. It is not a substitute for professional advice. You are solely responsible for how you use, validate, and act on any AI-generated content.

3. Acceptable Use Policy

Our Service is powered by Anthropic’s Claude models. Your use is subject to Anthropic’s Acceptable Use Policy in addition to these Terms. You must not use the Service to:

• Generate content that is illegal, harmful, deceptive, or discriminatory
• Create malware, exploit code, or cyberweapons
• Produce non-consensual intimate imagery or child sexual abuse material
• Conduct large-scale influence operations or generate disinformation
• Assist in developing biological, chemical, nuclear, or radiological weapons
• Automate decisions affecting individuals without appropriate human oversight
• Circumvent safety systems, rate limits, or access controls
• Scrape, harvest, or reverse-engineer the underlying models
• Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party rights

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this policy without notice.

4. High-Risk Domain Obligations

If you deploy agents in domains including (but not limited to):

• Legal advice or document preparation
• Medical diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or clinical support
• Financial planning, investment advice, or credit decisions
• Safety-critical infrastructure or emergency services

You must ensure that a qualified human professional reviews all material AI outputs before they are acted upon. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable professional regulations, licensing requirements, and duties of care. Animus is not a licensed legal, medical, or financial services provider.

5. Your Content & Data

Ownership: You retain all rights to content you submit to the Service (“User Content”).

No model training: We do not use your User Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Queries may be processed by Anthropic as our AI provider — see Section 8 (Privacy & Data Protection).

Licence to us: You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your User Content solely to provide the Service.

Account responsibility: You are responsible for all activity under your account. Keep credentials secure and notify us immediately of any unauthorised access. We may hold you liable for losses caused by unauthorised use resulting from your failure to maintain account security.

6. Liability Cap & Service Caveats

Service availability: We provide the Service on a commercially reasonable efforts basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or timely operation. We may suspend or discontinue the Service at any time with reasonable notice.

Limitation of liability: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising under or in connection with these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the fees paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) £100.

Exclusions: We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

7. Intellectual Property

The Animus platform, brand, and all underlying technology remain our exclusive property. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to access and use the Service for your internal business purposes only.

8. Privacy & Data Protection

Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. For GDPR purposes, we process personal data as a Data Controller. Key sub-processors include:

• Anthropic, PBC — AI model provider; processes query content to generate responses. Anthropic’s data processing is governed by their Privacy Policy.
• Clerk — Authentication and identity management
• Stripe — Payment processing
• DigitalOcean — Cloud infrastructure

By using the Service, you acknowledge that content submitted to AI agents may be transmitted to Anthropic for processing. Do not submit sensitive personal data unless you have a lawful basis under applicable data protection law.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be notified by email or prominent notice within the Service at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

10. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms or their subject matter or formation.
