Terms of Service

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

Davisville Labs LLC is a California limited liability company. These Terms apply to davisvillelabs.com and Davisville Labs products and services unless a product-specific agreement states otherwise. Product-specific terms, checkout disclosures, API or MCP terms, or written order terms control if they expressly conflict with these Terms.

2. Eligibility and authority

You may use our services only if you can legally enter into a binding agreement. If you use a service for a company, school, family, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity. Users under 18 may use services intended for minors only with parent or legal guardian approval and supervision. Our services are not intended for children under 13 unless Davisville Labs expressly provides a compliant parent-consent flow for that service.

3. Product boundaries

Different Davisville Labs products serve different purposes. You are responsible for understanding the scope and limitations of the product you use.

• Compass provides educational software, project guidance, reflection tools, major exploration, portfolio organization, and related student-support features. It is not a college admissions consulting service and does not guarantee admission, scholarships, grades, internships, employment, or other outcomes.
• California Bitcoin provides Bitcoin-only educational and research information. It does not provide investment, tax, legal, accounting, brokerage, custody, fiduciary, or financial-planning advice and does not recommend that any person buy, sell, or hold an asset.
• FiledProof provides filing-grounded research, evidence extraction, comparison, verification, and related specialist outputs. It is not a law firm, investment adviser, broker-dealer, accounting firm, auditor, or substitute for professional securities, legal, accounting, or investment analysis.
• FilmRightsProof provides specialist research and evidence concerning film and television rights or clearance questions. It does not provide legal opinions, title insurance, rights clearance, chain-of-title certification, or a guarantee that exploitation of any work is lawful.

4. No professional advice or guaranteed outcomes

Our services provide software, information, research assistance, organization, and decision support. Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular purpose. You are responsible for independent judgment and, where appropriate, review by a qualified professional. Nothing on our services creates an attorney-client, fiduciary, advisory, counseling, agency, partnership, or other professional relationship.

5. Accounts and security

You must provide accurate account information, keep credentials and authentication methods secure, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity performed through your account or credentials unless applicable law provides otherwise. We may require additional verification, suspend access, or reset credentials to protect users, systems, or the company.

6. AI and autonomous-agent use

Some services use AI, and some are designed to be discovered or invoked by autonomous software agents. AI-generated or machine-generated content can contain errors. If you deploy, authorize, or control an agent, you are responsible for the agent's instructions, permissions, spending authority, credentials, requests, and use of outputs. A machine request made with valid authorization may be treated as your request. You must not use an agent to circumvent payment, access controls, rate limits, safety controls, or these Terms.

7. Paid operations and machine payments

Some services charge a fixed fee for a completed authorized operation rather than a subscription. The price and payment requirements shown by the service, API, MCP interface, checkout, or payment challenge at the time of authorization are part of the transaction. Unless otherwise stated, a paid operation is charged once when the authorized service is completed or settled. Delivery retries for an identical already-settled operation may be handled according to the product's retry rules and do not create a right to alter the original request without a new authorization.

8. Subscriptions and automatic renewal

If you purchase an automatically renewing subscription, the renewal period, price or pricing method, billing frequency, and cancellation terms will be disclosed before purchase. By affirmatively accepting those terms, you authorize recurring charges until cancellation. Where required by law, we will provide renewal, annual, trial, or price-change notices. Online subscriptions may be cancelled through the available online account or billing-portal flow. Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the then-current paid period unless the checkout terms or applicable law state otherwise.

9. Fees, taxes, cancellation, and refunds

You agree to pay all disclosed fees and applicable taxes. Except where a product-specific refund policy, checkout disclosure, or applicable law requires otherwise, fees are non-refundable once the applicable subscription period has begun or the paid service has been delivered or made available. Cancelling a subscription stops future renewal charges but does not automatically refund a current or prior billing period. If you believe a charge was unauthorized or incorrect, contact us promptly at hello@davisvillelabs.com.

10. User content and student work

You retain ownership of original content you submit, subject to rights you grant us to host, store, process, transmit, display to you, back up, secure, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate and improve the service. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit the content. Do not submit unlawful, infringing, harmful, confidential third-party, or highly sensitive information unless the service specifically requests it and you are authorized to provide it.

11. License to use the services

Subject to these Terms, Davisville Labs grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the applicable service for its intended purpose. No ownership rights in Davisville Labs software, code, designs, databases, taxonomies, prompts, research methods, schemas, branding, or proprietary content are transferred to you.

12. Intellectual property and restrictions

Davisville Labs and its licensors own the services and associated intellectual property. Unless expressly permitted in writing or by law, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, sublicense, reverse engineer, decompile, create a competing dataset or product from, systematically scrape, harvest, or commercially exploit our protected materials or non-public service functionality. Authorized API, MCP, search, indexing, and agent access is permitted only within the published interface, rate, payment, and usage rules.

13. Acceptable use

You may not use our services to violate law or third-party rights; gain unauthorized access; introduce malware; interfere with service availability; evade charges or technical restrictions; misrepresent provenance; impersonate others; harass or exploit people; submit fraudulent payment credentials; or use outputs to falsely represent that Davisville Labs supplied a professional opinion, certification, clearance, endorsement, or guarantee.

14. Research, public sources, and third-party information

Some products rely on public records, third-party websites, filings, databases, APIs, links, or other external sources. Those sources may be incomplete, delayed, incorrect, changed, removed, or unavailable. Davisville Labs does not control third-party source accuracy or availability and is not responsible for third-party content, services, terms, or security.

15. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide product ideas, suggestions, corrections, or feedback, you grant Davisville Labs a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use and incorporate that feedback without obligation to compensate you, while we remain responsible for our own product decisions.

16. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how Davisville Labs handles personal information. Product-specific privacy notices may supplement that policy.

17. Service changes, availability, and beta features

We may add, modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue services or features, including beta or experimental features, at any time. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, permanent storage, compatibility with every system, or that a particular feature or data source will remain available.

18. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access, decline a request, or restrict use when reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, nonpayment, legal compliance, operational integrity, risk management, or violation of these Terms. Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including payment obligations, intellectual-property protections, warranty disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnity, and dispute provisions.

19. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAVISVILLE LABS SERVICES, CONTENT, DATA, OUTPUTS, SOFTWARE, AND FEATURES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." DAVISVILLE LABS DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, AVAILABILITY, AND RESULTS.

20. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAVISVILLE LABS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES, INVESTMENT RESULTS, RIGHTS-CLEARANCE RESULTS, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO A SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DAVISVILLE LABS FOR THAT SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so these limits apply only to the extent permitted by law.

21. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, if you use a service on behalf of a business or organization, or use our services commercially, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Davisville Labs LLC and its members, managers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your misuse of the services, your violation of these Terms, your content, your agent's conduct, or your violation of law or third-party rights. This provision does not require a consumer to indemnify Davisville Labs for Davisville Labs' own unlawful conduct.

22. Informal dispute resolution

Before filing a formal claim, you and Davisville Labs agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute. Send a written notice describing the claim and requested relief to hello@davisvillelabs.com with the subject "Legal Dispute Notice." Unless immediate relief is legally necessary, each side agrees to allow 30 days for informal resolution.

23. Binding individual arbitration and class-action waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT. Except for claims eligible for small-claims court, claims seeking public injunctive relief that cannot lawfully be waived or compelled to arbitration, and claims concerning intellectual-property rights where court relief is appropriate, disputes arising from these Terms or Davisville Labs services will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

Arbitration will be individual only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party may bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If a court determines that a particular claim or remedy cannot lawfully be arbitrated on an individual basis, only that claim or remedy will proceed in court and the remainder will remain subject to arbitration.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing hello@davisvillelabs.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, with your name, account email if any, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.

24. California law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent federal law controls. For disputes not subject to arbitration, the parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state or federal courts serving Yolo County, California, except where applicable consumer law gives you a nonwaivable right to another forum.

25. Nonwaivable consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived, including applicable California consumer-protection, automatic-renewal, privacy, public-injunctive-relief, or other statutory rights.

26. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as products, laws, and business practices change. We will post the revised Terms and update the effective date. Where law requires additional notice or consent for a material change, we will provide it. Continued use after an effective update constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

27. General terms

If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; Davisville Labs may assign them in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of a product or business. These Terms, together with incorporated policies and product-specific terms, form the entire agreement regarding the covered services.
