This Service Agreement (including all updates, supplements and additional terms, hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement") constitutes a legally binding contract between you (the "User") and Mentalok (Hong Kong) Limited and its affiliated companies (collectively, "we," "our," or "us") regarding your use of our products and services (including but not limited to programmable interfaces, software, tools, data and websites, hereinafter referred to as the "Services"). We urge you to carefully read and fully understand all terms of this Agreement before using our Services.
By proceeding with account registration on MentaLab, you confirm that you have been provided with, read, and understood all terms of this Agreement. Your successful registration constitutes acceptance of this Agreement and creates a binding obligation to comply with all its terms. You understand the legal implications of the rights, obligations, and limitations or exclusions of liability contained herein. This Agreement becomes effective immediately upon completion of your registration. Additionally, any subsequent use of our Services reaffirms your acceptance of and ongoing obligation to comply with this Agreement, which shall govern all aspects of the relationship between you and us.
In addition to this Agreement, the MENTALOK.IO platform (hereinafter referred to as "MentaLab") maintains other governing documents, such as the Privacy Policy detailing our personal information collection and usage practices. All provisions within these additional documents must be adhered to; where such documents are silent, this Agreement shall take precedence. This Agreement also encompasses any other documents, guidelines, or policies that we may provide.
The MentaLab platform only provides services to: (a) individuals who are at least 18 years old and possess full civil capacity; and (b) legal entities or organisations that are properly incorporated and validly existing under their local laws and capable of fulfilling their obligations under this Agreement.
If you do not meet these eligibility requirements, please refrain from using our Services. You must guarantee the accuracy of your identity information provided to us and comply with any identity verification procedures we may conduct periodically.

Upon reading and accepting this Agreement, providing the required information, and completing registration, you become a MentaLab user. To enable us to provide appropriate services and maintain communication, you must provide accurate, current, and valid information including your name, email address, and mobile telephone number as requested.
To maintain the validity of your information, you must promptly update any changes to your details. In accordance with legal requirements, we conduct verification procedures to ensure your information remains current, accurate, and complete.

Your registration must be completed using genuine identity information, and your chosen account name, avatar, profile, and other registration details must not contain illegal or harmful content. If we identify such issues during review, registration will be denied. Furthermore, if we discover post-registration that you used false information to obtain an account or that your account details contain illegal or harmful content, we reserve the right to unilaterally implement corrective measures, including but not limited to mandating corrections within a specified timeframe, suspending or terminating account usage, without prior notice. Upon completing the registration process by providing requested information, accepting this Agreement's terms, and finishing all registration steps, you will receive a MentaLab account and become a MentaLab user.

We further reserve the right to pursue legal action against violators, with all associated responsibilities borne by you.

3.0. Content
3.1. Your Content
When using our services, you may provide input content ("Input Content") and receive generated output content ("Output Content") in response. Both types of content are collectively referred to as "Content". You retain the right to provide Input Content within the bounds of applicable laws. You may exercise all rights to the Output Content, subject to compliance with applicable laws and third-party rights. You bear full responsibility for ensuring the authenticity, accuracy, legality and compliance of all Output Content.
By submitting Content, you consent to our collection of your Input Content, including personal information, for service provision purposes. You warrant that all Input Content - including but not limited to information, data, images, fonts, audio, video, materials and code - is legal, compliant, truthful and accurate, and does not infringe upon any third party's legitimate interests or intellectual property rights. You further guarantee that Input Content contains no personal information, private data, trade secrets, confidential information or other content that could violate third-party rights. You assume sole responsibility for any consequences or liability arising from damage to third-party interests or unauthorised disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets. We reserve the right to seek compensation from you for any losses we incur, including payments to affected third parties.
You maintain full responsibility for ensuring all Content complies with applicable laws and this Agreement. The Output Content must not be used to generate discriminatory content, harm others' reputation or interests, or for improper commercial exploitation or marketing. You must implement appropriate manual review processes for Output Content, particularly when used in automated decision-making systems.
To prevent misunderstanding, you must clearly mark and identify any Output Content as AI-generated when sharing it with customers or third parties.
3.2. Files and Data Management
You may upload files and data to our designated servers according to specified size and type parameters. We extract relevant information from your uploaded content solely for query processing purposes and will not interfere with your uploaded files and data.
3.3. Content Similarity
Due to the fundamental nature of machine learning technology, Output Content may not be unique across users. Our services may generate identical or similar outputs for multiple users or for our own purposes. The same response another user might receive for submitting a similar query. Such similar queries and responses from other users are not considered your Content and/or Input Content.
3.4. Content Confidentiality
We commit to using your content strictly for service provision purposes. Access is limited to personnel with a legitimate need-to-know basis for service delivery, all of whom are bound by confidentiality obligations.
3.5. Accuracy Considerations
As rapidly evolving fields, AI and machine learning technologies are continuously improving. Whilst we strive to enhance our services' accuracy, reliability, safety and utility, the probabilistic nature of machine learning means that outputs may sometimes be incorrect or fail to accurately reflect real individuals, locations or facts. You are responsible for evaluating Output Content accuracy for your specific use case, including implementing appropriate manual review processes.
3.6. Content Complaints
If you discover Output Content that infringes upon third-party rights regarding likeness, reputation, personality, privacy, trade secrets, or confidential information, please contact info@mentalok.io. We will take appropriate action, which may include:

- Evaluating the infringement claim
- Suspending or stopping generation of infringing content
- Removing or disabling access to suspected infringing content

The written claim of infringement shall include the following information:

3.6.3. The description of the location of your alleged infringing materials at the website;
3.6.4. Your address, telephone number and email;
3.6.5. Your statement indicating that you believe in good faith that the disputed use is not authorised by the intellectual property right owner or its agent or by law; and
