Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement
Recraft is available to address most concerns that you may have concerning Recraft’s Services. Contact Recraft here help@recraft.ai.
Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of New York between New York residents, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles that would require the application of the substantive or procedural laws of a different jurisdiction. The parties agree that United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.
Notice of Claim and Required Information Dispute Resolution Process. If you have any concern or dispute that Recraft is unable to resolve (“Claim”), you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and providing a written Notice of Claim to help@recraft.ai. The Notice of Claim must provide Recraft with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your Claim is not resolved within thirty (30) days of receipt, any resulting legal actions must be resolved through either small claims court or final and binding arbitration, including any dispute about whether arbitration is required for the dispute, subject to the exceptions set forth below. Neither party shall initiate legal action until thirty (30) days after the Notice of Claim is received. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of the Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the Terms or formation of the Terms, including whether any dispute between us is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. Claims related to the Terms, Services, or Assets are permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event resulting in the Claim.
No Class Actions or Class Arbitration. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
Any dispute under this Agreement will be submitted to binding arbitration. Such arbitration will be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures (“Rules”). There will be one (1) arbitrator agreed upon by the parties, and if the parties cannot agree within ten (10) days, then JAMS will make the appointment. The arbitrator will be a trial attorney having not less than fifteen (15) years’ experience in intellectual property matters and sales and licensing of consumer technology products. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness’ native language, with simultaneous translation into English (at the expense of the party presenting the witness). The place of arbitration will be San Francisco County, California. Either or both parties may participate by written submissions, telephone calls, or other means of remote communication as allowed by the arbitrator. In addition to the authority conferred on the arbitrator by the Rules, the arbitrator will order the production of relevant documents requested by either party. At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall order the deposition of any witness who submits a witness statement. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to hear and determine at any stage of the arbitration any issue asserted by any party to be dispositive of any claim or counterclaim, in whole or part, in accordance with such procedure as the arbitrator may deem appropriate, and the arbitrator may render an award on such issue. The parties undertake to keep confidential all awards in their arbitration, together with all materials in the proceedings created for the purpose of the arbitration and all other documents produced by another party in the proceedings not otherwise in the public domain, save and to the extent that disclosure may be required of a party by legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other judicial authority. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the arbitration provider and the Terms, including with respect to the assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, the Terms will govern.
Arbitration Fees and Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees and costs of arbitration will be governed by the rules of the arbitration provider, except that to the extent that you bring a Claim as part of a Coordinated Action, we agree that the parties will equally share all of the fees and costs of arbitration (to the extent that allocation is not already required under applicable rules). For purposes of this section, a “Coordinated Action” is any action in which you are represented by a law firm or collection of law firms that has filed numerous coordinated individual arbitration demands of the same or similar nature against Recraft within a short time. Notwithstanding the above, if you are unable to afford fees or costs of arbitration, Recraft will pay them. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a Claim or the relief sought in arbitration was frivolous, or a Claim was brought for an improper purpose, the parties may seek to re-allocate the fees and costs of arbitration, according to the rules of the arbitration provider.
Exceptions to Arbitration – Small Claims and Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to have any Claim that is subject to the jurisdiction of small claims court decided in small claims court in the City and County of San Francisco, California, USA. If either party files a Claim in arbitration that could have been brought in small claims court, the other party may provide notice that it wants the case decided in small claims court before the appointment of an arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall administratively close the case before assessing any fees, and the party bringing the Claim must proceed in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. Additionally, either party shall be entitled to apply for preliminary injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction, such as in the event of your or others’ unauthorized access to or use of the Services in violation of the Terms. If a party has a dispute in which they seek to obtain both preliminary injunctive relief and other forms of relief, the party may go to court to seek preliminary injunctive relief but must arbitrate its claims or seek relief in small claims court for all other forms of relief.
Acceptance of Arbitration and Right to Opt Out. Within the first thirty (30) days of your use of the Services the provisions on Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration Agreement of the Terms, whichever is later, you have the right to opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of the Terms by sending us written notice of your decision to help@recraft.ai or 450 Townsend St, Ste 100 San Francisco, CA 94107.

Notices and communications to Recraft must be sent to the applicable address given in these Terms or to help@recraft.ai.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any breach of this Agreement which arises because of any circumstances which the defaulting party cannot reasonably be expected to control (which shall include but not be limited to, any act of god, fire, casualty, flood, pandemic or epidemic, war, labor disputes, governmental action, failure of public services, interruption or failure of the Internet or of any network, telecommunications, power supply or infrastructure, or any provider of any of the foregoing but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include shortage or lack of available funds, provided it promptly notifies the other party of such circumstances. If performance has been interfered with, hindered, delayed or prevented for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, the party whose performance is not affected may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the other party.
Entire Agreement. These Terms of Service, including the Privacy Policy and all other terms and conditions incorporate herein, or which incorporate these Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Recraft regarding the use of the Service. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. If any provision of these Terms is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms will be unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law and consistent with the original intent. These Terms create no relationship of employee-employer, agency, partnership, or joint venture between the parties. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Recraft’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.

For Members that have purchased access to the API platform, the following terms and conditions apply to use of the API Services. The Recraft Terms of Service at https://app.recraft.ai/terms apply to the use of the API platform and are incorporated herein. In the event of a conflict between these API terms and the general Terms of Service, these API terms will prevail, but only with regard to use of the API Services.
Purchase of API unit Packages. In order to access and use the API Services, a Member must first purchase a package of API units as set out at https://www.recraft.ai/docs. API unit packages are priced in United States dollars. One API unit is equal to one-tenth of a cent (US $0.001) in United States dollars (“API unit”). All API unit packages are non-cancelable and non-refundable. API units may only be used against the then applicable charges for API Services. Current pricing is at https://www.recraft.ai/docs#pricing. Once a package of API units is exhausted, in order to continue to use the API Services, a Member must purchase an additional package of API units. API units will be deducted from the package by Recraft at the time of use.
Access to API Services. After a Member purchases a package of API units, Recraft will provide access the API Services. Regardless of the API unit package purchased, API requests are limited to one hundred (100) per minute.
License. Subject to your compliance with the Terms, including these terms and conditions for use of the API Services, and any applicable laws or other limitations, Recraft grants you a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, freely revocable license to access and use the API Services for business or personal use. You own all Assets you create with the API Services and Recraft hereby assigns to you all copyright rights it may have in the Assets for personal or commercial use subject to the following restriction: Assets may not be used to train artificial intelligence models, systems or networks or similar technology. Any breach of this restriction shall result in the immediate termination of this Agreement, and all rights granted to you shall revert to Recraft. You must immediately cease all use of the Assets and, upon request, return or destroy any copies of the Assets in your possession. The obligations set forth in this restrictive covenant shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Recraft will not use any Assets created using the API Services for training purposes or any other use in any Recraft Services except as may be necessary for customer support services of the customer that created the Asset. For the avoidance of doubt, the License to Recraft in the general Terms of Service will not apply to the API Services, however, the provisions on Member Responsibilities and Restrictions will apply equally to the API Services.

You acknowledge that, as between you and Recraft, all the intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, in the API Services and its content and any Recraft Assets or Free Tier Assets are owned by Recraft or Recraft’s licensors. Neither these Terms (nor your access to the API Service) transfers to you or any third party any rights, title, or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in in these Terms. Recraft and its suppliers reserve all rights not granted in these Terms. There are no implied licenses granted under these Terms.
