Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and Colossee, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Colossee,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the Colossee platform, website, APIs, and all associated services (collectively, the “Service”).
By accessing the Service, clicking “Sign In,” “Secure to Registry,” “Register,” or any similar action, or by purchasing Credits, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference.
These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, and paying customers. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age and have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
The Service is not available to persons who are prohibited from receiving or using it under applicable law, including persons located in countries subject to United States economic sanctions or export control laws.
Account Registration and Security
Registration
To access core features of the Service, you must create an account through our third-party authentication provider, Privy, Inc. (“Privy”). You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary. Colossee is not responsible for errors or delays caused by inaccurate account information.
Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at security@colossee.com of any unauthorized access or security breach. Colossee will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security.
One Account per User
You may not create more than one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent Credits limits, bans, or other restrictions is strictly prohibited and will result in termination of all associated accounts.
Description of the Service
Colossee provides a global digital registry and licensing platform that enables creators to register AI-augmented media assets, establish cryptographically verifiable provenance, and generate shareable certificates of ownership (“Registry Entries”). The Service also provides tools for tracking attribution across distribution platforms and managing licensing of registered assets.
Each Registry Entry is anchored to a distributed ledger network, creating an immutable timestamped record. You acknowledge that this technical anchoring does not constitute legal proof of copyright ownership in any jurisdiction and that Colossee makes no representation that Registry Entries will be recognized by any court, government body, or third party as establishing legal rights.
Colossee reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any feature at any time with reasonable notice, except in cases of emergency. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes.
Credits, Payments, and Refunds
Credit System
The Service operates on a prepaid credit system. Credits are required to create Registry Entries (10 Credits per registration). Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable between accounts, and do not expire once purchased.
Purchases
All Credit purchases are processed by Dodo Payments (“Dodo”), our authorized Merchant of Record. By initiating a purchase, you agree to Dodo’s terms of service and payment processing terms, in addition to these Terms. Colossee does not store your payment card information.
All prices are quoted in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are exclusive of any applicable taxes, which shall be borne by you. Prices may change at any time; however, changes will not affect Credits already purchased.
No Refunds
ALL CREDIT PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE, except as required by applicable law. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact billing@colossee.com within 30 days of the charge. We will investigate and, if an error is confirmed, issue a refund at our discretion.
Chargebacks
Initiating a fraudulent chargeback is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination and referral to appropriate legal authorities. If you have a legitimate billing dispute, you must contact us before initiating any chargeback with your payment provider.
Intellectual Property Rights
Your Content
You retain full ownership of all intellectual property rights in the media assets you register through the Service (“User Content”). By registering User Content, you grant Colossee a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content solely to the extent necessary to operate and provide the Service, including rendering Registry Entries and certificates visible to third parties who access your public provenance page.
Your Warranties
By registering User Content, you represent and warrant that:
- -You are the original creator or have secured all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to register the User Content and grant the license above.

- -The User Content complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including laws regarding defamation, obscenity, and export controls.
- -The User Content does not contain malware, viruses, or any malicious code.

Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party providers including but not limited to Privy, Inc. (authentication), Dodo Payments (billing and payment processing), Supabase, Inc. (data infrastructure), and distributed ledger network providers (registry anchoring). Your use of these integrated services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. Colossee is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any third-party provider.

Privacy
Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimers and Warranties
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, Colossee’s warranties are limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Limitation of Liability
In no event shall Colossee’s total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service exceed the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid to Colossee in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
The foregoing limitations apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise) and survive any failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Colossee and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

- -Your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes, misappropriates, or violates the rights of any third party.
- -Your use of the Service in violation of applicable law.

Colossee reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate fully with our defense.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Binding Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court and claims involving Colossee’s intellectual property rights, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND COLOSSEE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
Arbitration Procedures
The arbitration shall be conducted in San Francisco, California, or via remote hearing. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party in any arbitration shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.
Opt-Out
You may opt out of the arbitration provision by sending written notice to legal@colossee.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, any Dispute shall be resolved in state or federal courts in San Francisco, California.
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 provisions. Subject to Section 14, any legal proceedings arising out of these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
Termination
Colossee may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, upon reasonable notice, except where immediate termination is necessary to prevent harm. Grounds for termination include, but are not limited to, violation of these Terms, fraudulent activity, or conduct that creates legal risk for Colossee or other users.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting support@colossee.com. Termination of your account does not entitle you to a refund of unused Credits.
Upon termination, Sections 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 18 of these Terms shall survive. Registry Entries that have already been anchored to the distributed ledger may remain publicly accessible as part of the immutable record.
Modifications to Terms
Colossee reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date and, where feasible, by sending an email notification to your registered email address. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms.
If you do not agree to any modified Terms, you must stop using the Service immediately.
General Provisions
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, DMCA Policy, and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Colossee regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Waiver
Colossee’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
