These Terms are entered into with SourceAI, ("SourceAI", "we", "our" or "us"). You understand that SourceAI may change these Terms or suspend or terminate your use of the APIs at any time. We will post notice of changes to the Terms on our website. Your continued use of the APIs after any changes to these Terms means you agree to the changes.

Civ. Code §§ 1798.100–1798.199 ("CCPA"). Your Application must include your own user agreement and privacy policy, which are prominently located where users download or access your Application and accurately disclose to users how and what personal information you collect, use, store and share through your Application.

(b) HIPAA. SourceAI does not intend, and absent its express written agreement does not permit, use of the APIs by any person that is a "covered entity" or a "business associate" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended ("HIPAA"), where such use would involve access by SourceAI to "protected health information" as defined under HIPAA. If you are (or become) a "covered entity" or "business associate" as defined in HIPAA, you will not use the APIs in any manner that would permit such access, absent prior written consent from SourceAI.

(c) Submission of Content. SourceAI does not acquire any ownership of any intellectual property rights in the content that you submit to our APIs through your Application, except as expressly provided in these Terms. For the sole purpose of enabling SourceAI and its affiliates to provide, secure, and improve the APIs (and related software, models, and algorithms), you give SourceAI and its affiliates a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicensable, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to use, host, store, modify, communicate and publish all content submitted, posted or displayed to or from the APIs through your Application.
