L2.01
The agreement
These terms are a contract between you and Pixelnode, Inc. “You” may be a beta customer (an organization we have admitted to the private beta), a capture participant (an expert recording sessions through the Capture Suite), or a visitor to pixelnode.ai. By using the services, you accept these terms; if you are acting for an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind it.
Where your organization has signed a separate agreement with us — an enterprise agreement, a data-licensing agreement, or a participant agreement — that document controls if it conflicts with these terms.
L2.02
Private beta terms
Pixelnode is in private beta. The services are provided as-is and as-available: features may change, be paused, or be removed as we build, and we do not commit to service-level agreements during the beta unless your enterprise agreement says otherwise.
If you give us feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use it without restriction or attribution. Feedback never includes your captured sessions or your confidential materials — those are governed by the data sections below.
L2.03
Accounts and access
Beta access is granted per organization and per named user. You must be at least 18, provide accurate account information, and keep credentials confidential — activity under your account is your responsibility until you tell us it has been compromised.
Enterprise administrators are responsible for managing seats inside their organization, for ensuring their users are told about capture policies that apply to them, and for configuring privacy controls consistently with commitments made to their own personnel.
L2.04
Capture participation
Recording a session means agreeing to the capture scope shown at the start of that session — what is recorded, and what the session may be used for. Participants may pause or stop capture at any time, and may withdraw completed sessions as described in the Privacy Policy.
Participants must only capture work they have the right to capture. Do not record other people who have not consented, and do not record material you are bound to keep confidential from us — client work under NDA, for example — unless your agreement with that client permits it.
L2.05
Acceptable use
The services exist to capture consented expert work and to train and evaluate AI systems in controlled environments. You agree not to abuse them.
- No capturing third parties — their screens, audio, or personal data — without their consent
- No attempting to circumvent, disable, or defeat redaction, consent, or privacy controls
- No using environments to attack systems you do not own or have authorization to test, distribute malware, or mine cryptocurrency
- No reverse engineering the services except where the law grants that right regardless of contract
- No accessing the services to build a competing capture or environment product
- No uploading content that is unlawful or that infringes someone else’s rights
L2.06
Intellectual property in captured sessions
Participants keep what they make. Recording a session does not transfer ownership of the underlying work product — the designs, models, code, documents, and other deliverables you create remain yours or your client’s, exactly as they would without Pixelnode.
What you grant us is a license to the recording: by completing a session under a stated capture scope, you license Pixelnode to process that session into structured training data, environments, and evaluations within that scope, and to sublicense the resulting datasets to customers bound by the same scope. Compensation for participation is set out in your participant agreement.
L2.07
Intellectual property in datasets and environments
Pixelnode owns the platform: the Capture Suite, the Environment Suite, golden images we author, verifiers, and the structure, curation, and tooling that turn raw sessions into datasets. Customers receive a license to datasets and environments under their agreement — typically for training, evaluating, and operating AI systems.
Dataset licenses are not ownership of participants’ sessions. Customers may not resell or redistribute datasets, attempt to re-identify participants, or use datasets outside the consent scope attached to them. Golden images incorporating third-party software remain subject to that software’s own licenses, which the customer is responsible for holding.
L2.08
Customer data and confidentiality
Materials your organization brings to the platform — files, golden-image contents, workflows, evaluation criteria — remain your organization’s. We use them only to provide the services, and we protect them as confidential information.
In on-premise deployments, capture data and fine-tuned models stay inside your infrastructure, and these terms do not grant Pixelnode any right to them. Each party protects the other’s confidential information with at least the care it uses for its own, and no less than reasonable care.
L2.09
Fees
Beta pricing is set out in your order form or enterprise agreement. Fees are invoiced as agreed there, are exclusive of taxes, and are non-refundable except where that document or the law says otherwise.
[Counsel placeholder: payment terms, late-payment interest, and taxes clause to be finalized with the standard order form.]
L2.10
Disclaimers
The services are provided “as is” during the beta. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
Models trained on Pixelnode datasets are trained by our customers, not by us; we make no warranty about the behavior of any AI system a customer builds.
L2.11
Limitation of liability and indemnification
To the extent the law permits, neither party is liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or lost profits, and each party’s total liability under these terms is capped at the amounts paid or payable by the customer in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or either party’s breach of the confidentiality or data-protection obligations.
You will defend and indemnify Pixelnode against third-party claims arising from your content, your breach of the capture-participation rules, or your use of the services in violation of these terms; we will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims that the platform itself infringes their intellectual property.
L2.12
Suspension and termination
Either party may terminate as set out in the applicable order form, and we may suspend access immediately where continued use presents a security risk, violates the acceptable-use rules, or endangers participants’ privacy. We will tell you why, and restore access when the issue is resolved where that is possible.
On termination, customer access to the platform ends and we delete or return customer materials as the enterprise agreement provides. Participant consent survives termination only in the form already granted: datasets lawfully delivered under a consent scope remain licensed, and withdrawal rights continue to operate as described in the Privacy Policy.
L2.13
Governing law, changes, and contact
[Counsel placeholder: governing law and venue — expected to be the State of Delaware and its courts, subject to final incorporation review.] If a provision of these terms is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect; a failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
We version these terms, and material changes are announced to account holders before they take effect; continued use after the effective date is acceptance. Questions about these terms: legal@pixelnode.ai.
