This Section does not apply to beta or early access features, which are governed by Section 3.4.

5. CUSTOMER DATA
5.1 Ownership. As between the parties, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to Customer Data. We do not claim ownership of your Customer Data. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer Data includes fine-tuned model weights produced through your use of our fine-tuning services, and you retain ownership of such weights, subject to our (or our licensors') retained ownership of the base models and underlying platform used to produce them.
(a) Proprietary Base Models. Where the base model is a proprietary model (including models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft), you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the base model as incorporated into your fine-tuned weights solely through the Services. This license is subject to the base model provider's terms and does not include the right to export, transfer, or deploy the fine-tuned weights outside the Services.
(b) Open-Weight Models. Where the base model is an open-weight model made available under a permissive license (including Llama, Mistral Open, and similar models), you retain the right to export and use your fine-tuned weights outside the Services, subject to: (i) your compliance with the applicable open-weight license terms; (ii) the absence of Frontal-proprietary modifications to the base model that would restrict export; and (iii) Frontal's right to charge a reasonable export fee for compute and bandwidth costs associated with weight extraction and transfer. Frontal will identify in the Documentation which base models are classified as open-weight and eligible for export under this subsection.
5.2 License to Process. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, use, process, copy, store, transmit, and display Customer Data solely as necessary to provide the Services to you, to prevent or address service or technical problems, and as otherwise required by applicable law.
5.3 Data Processing. We will process Personal Data contained in Customer Data in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement and Privacy Policy.
5.4 Data Security. We implement and maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Customer Data, as described in our Data Protection Policy and Data Encryption Policy.
5.5 Use of Customer Data. Frontal does not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, improve, or evaluate any artificial intelligence or machine learning models. This commitment applies to all models operated, hosted, served, or otherwise controlled by Frontal.
Frontal maintains technical and organizational controls designed to prevent Customer Data from being incorporated into model training datasets or used for model improvement purposes.
Customer Data may be processed solely to provide, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, monitor, and support the Services.
We will not sell, rent, or share Customer Data with third parties except as necessary to provide the Services or as required by law. When you use AI-powered features, your inputs and outputs are transmitted to third-party AI model providers (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or Mistral) in order to generate responses. Frontal only integrates with third-party model providers that contractually agree not to use Customer Data submitted through Frontal for training or improvement of their models, and we configure zero-retention settings where the provider supports them. For a list of providers and their data handling commitments, see our Model Provider Reference.
5.6 Deletion. Upon your request or termination of your Account, we will delete Customer Data from our active systems within 30 days. Backup copies of Customer Data are not individually purged but expire automatically per the backup retention schedule (typically 7-35 days depending on your plan). Security-related data (such as IP addresses associated with abuse) may be retained for up to 12 months. Billing records are retained for 7 years as required by tax law. Full detail is set forth in our Data Retention Policy and Data Disposal Policy.
6. FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 Fees. You agree to pay all Fees when due. Fees are non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Terms, an Order Form, or our Refund Policy. Our Billing Terms provide additional detail on billing practices.
6.2 Payment. Payment must be made by credit card, wire transfer, or other payment method accepted by us. For credit card payments, you authorize us to charge your payment method for all Fees. For invoice-based payments, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified in an Order Form.
6.3 Late Payments. Late payments accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. We may suspend your access to the Services if payment is more than 15 days past due, provided we have given you at least 10 days' prior written notice.
6.4 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, duties, and similar government assessments. You are responsible for all sales, use, value-added, withholding, and similar taxes, excluding taxes based on our net income. If you are required to withhold taxes, you will gross up Fees so that we receive the full amount.
6.5 Price Changes. We may change Fees for Services by providing at least 30 days' notice. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next Subscription Term. If you do not agree to a price change, you may terminate your subscription before the change takes effect in accordance with our Cancellation Policy.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
7.1 Our IP. We and our licensors own all right, title, and interest in the Services, Documentation, Site, and all related intellectual property, including all software, algorithms, underlying platform models, interfaces, designs, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, and trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, "models" in this Section refers to Frontal's underlying platform models and base models used to provide the Services, and does not include Customer Data, Customer fine-tuned model weights, or outputs generated by the Services from Customer Data. No rights are granted to you except the limited access rights expressly set forth in these Terms.
7.2 Feedback. If you provide feedback, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations about the Services ("Feedback"), you assign to us all rights in that Feedback. We may use Feedback for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.
7.3 Trademarks. "Frontal," the Frontal logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Frontal Labs, Inc. You must not use these marks without our prior written consent. Use of our marks is governed by our Trademark Policy.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 Obligations. Each party agrees to protect the other's Confidential Information using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information of similar importance, but no less than reasonable care.

9.5 Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 9, THE SERVICES AND SITE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. WE AND OUR LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

10.3 Mitigation. If the Services become, or in our reasonable opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement claim, we may at our option: (a) procure the right for you to continue using the Services; (b) modify the Services to make them non-infringing without materially reducing functionality; or (c) terminate the affected Services and provide a pro-rata refund of prepaid unused Fees.

We may offer free trials of the Services from time to time. Free trials are governed by these Terms and our Free Trial Terms. Free trials are provided "as-is" without warranties, SLA commitments, or indemnification obligations. We may terminate a free trial at any time.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS
17.1 Governing Law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
17.2 Mandatory Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
(a) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Frontal agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the Site (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as otherwise provided in this Section. This arbitration obligation applies to all Disputes, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and applies to Disputes that arose before you accepted these Terms.
(b) Exceptions. The parties retain the right to: (i) bring individual claims in small claims court if the claims qualify; (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights; and (iii) bring issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
(c) Informal Dispute Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, the party seeking to assert a Dispute must first send written notice describing the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought ("Dispute Notice"). Upon receipt of a Dispute Notice, the parties shall personally meet and confer (by telephone or videoconference) to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference must occur within 45 days of the Dispute Notice. The parties agree that engaging in this informal process is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration. The statute of limitations and filing fee deadlines are tolled during this process.
Dispute Notices from you should be sent by email to legal@frontal.dev or by mail to:
Frontal Labs, Inc. Attn: Legal Department 131 Continental Drive, STE 305 Newark, DE 19713
(d) Arbitration Rules. If the Dispute is not resolved within 60 days of the Dispute Notice, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules for claims under $250,000, or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules for claims $250,000 and above. JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.
(e) Arbitration Location. Unless otherwise agreed, arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside, or in New Castle County, Delaware for non-U.S. residents. The arbitration may be conducted by videoconference at either party's request.
(f) Arbitrator Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including questions of arbitrability, except that: (i) Disputes about the enforceability of the class action waiver will be decided by a court; and (ii) Disputes about payment of arbitration fees or satisfaction of conditions precedent will be decided by a court. The arbitrator may award individual relief available in court and must follow applicable law. Any award must include written findings and conclusions. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND FRONTAL WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. Disputes will be resolved exclusively through arbitration as set forth in this Section.
(h) Waiver of Class Actions. YOU AND FRONTAL AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION, EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court determines this class action waiver is unenforceable, then the Dispute must proceed in court rather than in arbitration. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed to prevent any person from seeking public injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties agree that any claim for public injunctive relief may be brought in court and shall be stayed pending the outcome of arbitration of any individual claims.
(i) Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first becoming subject to it by sending a written notice to legal@frontal.dev or to:
Frontal Labs, Inc. Attn: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out 131 Continental Drive, STE 305 Newark, DE 19713
Your opt-out notice must include your name, the email address associated with your Account, and a clear statement that you are opting out of the arbitration agreement. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
(j) Future Changes. If we make a material change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change within 30 days of its effective date by sending written notice to the address above. If you reject a change, the version of the arbitration provision in effect when you first accepted these Terms (or the most recent version you did not reject) will apply.
17.3 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for delay or failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, flood, earthquake, and internet service failures outside the affected party's network. This Section does not excuse your payment obligations. Denial-of-service attacks and failures of third-party cloud infrastructure are foreseeable operational risks and are not force majeure events for purposes of Frontal's obligations under the SLA.
17.4 Assignment. Neither party may assign these Terms without the other's prior written consent, except that either party may assign these Terms without consent to an Affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets or voting securities. Any assignment in violation of this Section is void. These Terms bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
17.5 Notices. Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your Account or through your Account interface. Notices to Frontal must be sent to legal@frontal.dev. Email notice is effective upon sending, provided no bounce or delivery failure message is received. Notices sent by mail are effective 5 business days after mailing.
17.6 Waiver and Severability. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will constitute a waiver of any other provision. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
17.7 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with all policies and agreements incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Frontal regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings (written and oral) on that subject. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and an Order Form, the Order Form controls solely with respect to the specific Services described in that Order Form.
17.8 Relationship. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or franchise relationship.
17.9 Publicity. We will not use your name, logo, or trademarks in our customer lists, marketing materials, or promotional content without your prior written consent. Any consent you provide may be revoked at any time, and we will remove your name and logo within 30 days of your request.
17.10 Interpretation. Section headings are for convenience only. The word "including" means "including without limitation." "Will" and "shall" have the same meaning. "Hereunder," "herein," and "hereof" refer to these Terms as a whole.
17.11 Counterparts. These Terms and any Order Form may be executed in counterparts, including electronic counterparts, each of which is an original and which together constitute one agreement.
17.12 Changes to These Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the Services, our business practices, or applicable law. For material changes, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance by email to the address associated with your Account and by posting a notice on the Site. Material changes take effect 30 days after notice unless a later date is specified. Non-material changes take effect upon posting. If you do not agree to a material change, you may terminate your Account before the change takes effect in accordance with our Cancellation Policy. Your continued use of the Services after a material change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Changes to the arbitration provision in Section 17.2 are governed by Section 17.2(j).**
