Terms of Use

Last updated: April 6, 2026

These Terms of Use are between you (or the organization you represent) and Analogous LLC FZ ("Analogous," "we," "us," or "our"), the owner and operator of Slinky.

By creating an account, clicking "I Agree," or using Slinky, you agree to these Terms of Use.

1. Foundation and Scope

Acceptance of Terms

These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Slinky. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

License Scope

Slinky grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the service for your internal business research purposes, subject to your subscription plan.

Your rights are limited by:
- Named user/seat restrictions in your plan
- Prohibition on sublicensing, resale, or transfer
- Any usage limits communicated in the product or order form

Prohibited Conduct

You may not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code from the service
- Use scraping or automation that bypasses reasonable rate limits or access controls
- Use the service for unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, or harmful conduct
- Interfere with system integrity, security, or availability
- Misrepresent affiliation, identity, or authorization

Intellectual Property

Slinky and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the service, including software, models, workflows, trademarks, brand assets, and related intellectual property.

### User Accounts and Credentials
You are responsible for activity conducted through your account credentials and for maintaining credential confidentiality. You will promptly notify us of any suspected unauthorized account access.

2. Data and Privacy

Data Ownership

You retain ownership of your content and submitted data. You grant Slinky a limited, worldwide license to host, process, store, index, and transform your data solely as needed to provide, secure, and improve the service.

Data Security

Slinky applies commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, infrastructure security controls, and operational monitoring.

If Slinky confirms unauthorized access to personal data, Slinky will notify affected customers without undue delay, consistent with applicable law.

Privacy Policy Integration

Use of Slinky is also subject to the Privacy Policy. For data rights requests (access, deletion, correction, portability), contact team@slinky.app.

Customer Responsibilities for Data

You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and rights status of the data you submit. You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary for us to process that data in connection with providing the service.

3. Financials and Operations

Subscription Fees

Paid plans are billed in advance on the cycle presented at purchase (for example, monthly or annual). Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or explicitly stated in a signed agreement.

Slinky may update fees with prior notice before renewal.

Payment Terms

If payment is late, rejected, or chargebacked, Slinky may suspend paid features or terminate access after notice. You remain responsible for fees incurred and applicable taxes.

Late balances may accrue finance charges at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.

Service Levels

Unless otherwise specified in a separately executed agreement, Slinky is provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis and does not include a contractual uptime SLA.

If your order form or MSA includes an SLA, that SLA governs uptime commitments and remedies.

Support and Service Changes

We may update, improve, or modify product features over time. We may also discontinue specific features, provided such changes do not eliminate the core contracted service without reasonable notice.

4. Legal Protections

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Because Slinky includes AI-assisted outputs, you acknowledge that outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or non-unique. You are responsible for independent evaluation of output before relying on it in business, legal, investment, or operational decisions.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slinky's aggregate liability for claims arising out of or related to these Terms will not exceed the total amount paid by you to Slinky for the service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Slinky is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, revenue, goodwill, or data.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Slinky and its affiliates from third-party claims, losses, and expenses arising from your misuse of the service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

We will defend and indemnify you against third-party claims alleging that the core paid service (as delivered and used in accordance with these Terms) directly infringes a third party's intellectual property right, subject to standard notice, control, and cooperation requirements.

Termination

Slinky may suspend or terminate access for material breach, unlawful use, payment default, or security risk. You may stop using the service at any time.

Upon termination, rights granted under these Terms end, and provisions that by nature should survive (including IP, payment obligations, liability limitations, and indemnities) survive.



5. Implementation Best Practices

Click-wrap Acceptance

Account registration requires an explicit click-wrap acceptance of these Terms of Use.

Changes to Terms

Slinky may update these Terms from time to time. Material updates will be communicated via in-product notice, email, or both before they become effective when required by law.

Last Updated Date

The "Last updated" date at the top of this document indicates the latest revision date.

6. Confidentiality

Each party may receive confidential information from the other. Each receiving party will protect confidential information using reasonable safeguards and use it only for purposes of this relationship.

These obligations do not apply to information that is publicly available without breach, already known without restriction, independently developed, or rightfully received from a third party.

7. Suspension and Termination Effects

We may suspend access immediately for security threats, legal compliance requirements, abusive behavior, or material breach.

Upon termination or expiration, your rights to access the service end. We may delete your data according to our retention and deletion practices unless longer retention is required by law.

8. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Slinky may interoperate with third-party platforms, tools, or data providers. Your use of third-party services is governed by your agreement with those providers, and we are not responsible for third-party availability, security, or performance.

9. Feedback

If you provide product feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any lawful business purpose without compensation to you.

10. General Terms

- Assignment: Neither party may assign these Terms without the other party's consent, except in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets.
- Force Majeure: Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control (excluding payment obligations).
- Severability and Waiver: If one provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with incorporated policies and any signed order form, are the complete agreement for this subject matter.
