Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 7, 2026

ARBITRATION NOTICE: These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and a class action waiver in Section 23. By using Brussle, you agree to resolve disputes through individual arbitration rather than in court, and you waive the right to participate in class actions. Please read Section 23 carefully.

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and AltQuid, Inc. ("AltQuid," "we," "us," or "our"), the company that operates Brussle, accessible at brussle.com (the "Platform").

Brussle is an AI clone platform that enables creators to build, train, and monetize AI-powered versions of themselves ("AI Clones"). The Platform includes all related websites, applications, features, tools, and services (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, along with our Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms or policies referenced herein ("Additional Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

For questions or concerns regarding these Terms, contact us at: support@brussle.com

2. Modifications to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or business practices. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the Platform, by email, or by other reasonable means before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you disagree with any revision, your sole remedy is to discontinue use of the Services.

No modification to these Terms by any party other than AltQuid shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by both parties.

3. Privacy

We take your privacy seriously. Our collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at brussle.com/privacy. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Age Requirements

In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you may not register for or use the Services. If we discover that personal information has been collected from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it. To report a concern about a minor's use of the Services, contact us at support@brussle.com.

Users between 13 and 18 must have the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor's behalf.

5. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features of the Services, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

Provide accurate, current, and complete information;
Maintain and promptly update your account information;
Keep your login credentials confidential and secure;
Accept responsibility for all activity conducted through your account;
Notify us immediately at support@brussle.com of any unauthorized access or security breach.

You may register using your email and password or through supported third-party authentication providers (such as Google via Clerk). When you register through a third-party provider, you authorize us to access and use the information made available through that provider, subject to your privacy settings with that provider.

You may not select a username to which you have no legitimate right, nor may you use another person's name or identity with intent to impersonate. Account transfers require our prior written consent.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity, and references to "you" and "your" shall include that entity.

6. Communications and Notifications

By creating an account, you consent to receive communications from us, including transactional emails, service updates, and promotional messages, sent via email or SMS. If you provide a phone number, you consent to receive automated text messages at that number.

You may opt out of promotional communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any message or by adjusting your account settings. Standard data and message rates from your carrier may apply.

You represent that any phone numbers you provide belong to you or that you have obtained appropriate consent from the number holder. You agree to indemnify AltQuid for any claims arising from your breach of this representation.

7. Voice and Audio Data

Certain features of the Services, including voice interactions with AI Clones, may involve the collection of audio recordings of your voice for the purpose of speech-to-text recognition and transcription.

We want to be clear about what we do and do not do with your voice data:

We do not create voiceprints or biometric identifiers from your voice.
We use your voice data solely to provide and improve the Services.
We protect voice data using appropriate technical and organizational safeguards in compliance with applicable law.
We retain voice recordings only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, or for up to 3 years from your last interaction, whichever is shorter, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
We disclose voice data to third parties only when required by law (e.g., in response to a valid subpoena or court order).

8. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Services, or provide any content through the Services, in any manner that:

(a) Infringes or violates any intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person or entity, including AltQuid;

(b) Violates any applicable law, regulation, or legal obligation, including export control and data protection laws;

(d) Compromises the security of any account, including attempting to access another user's credentials or account;

(e) Introduces malicious code, viruses, or other harmful software;

(f) Interferes with or disrupts the Services, including through automated processes, spam, excessive load, or denial-of-service activity;

(g) Scrapes, crawls, or uses automated means to extract data from the Services, including for the purpose of training AI models;

(h) Copies or stores any substantial portion of Platform content without authorization;

(i) Decompiles, reverse engineers, or attempts to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying architecture of the Services;

(j) Circumvents or attempts to bypass any access controls, usage limits, or security measures;

(k) Modifies, translates, or creates derivative works from any part of the Services without our consent;

(l) Uses output from the Services to develop products or services that compete with Brussle;

(m) Copies, rents, leases, sells, or redistributes any rights granted under these Terms;

(n) Uses AI Clones to impersonate real individuals without their authorization, or to generate content that could reasonably be mistaken for statements made by a real person who has not consented.

Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access to the Services.

9. Intellectual Property and Content Ownership

The Services, including all software, designs, text, graphics, interfaces, and other materials created by AltQuid (collectively, "Platform IP"), are owned by AltQuid and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of Platform IP to you.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include any right to resell the Services; reproduce, duplicate, copy, or exploit Platform IP for commercial purposes; or access the Services for competitive analysis or to build a competing product.

10. User Content and Submissions

Any content you post, upload, share, or otherwise provide through the Services constitutes your "User Content." You retain ownership of your User Content.

Your Responsibilities: You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent that your User Content is accurate, does not infringe any third-party rights, and complies with all applicable laws.

Prohibited Content: You may not submit User Content that: (i) infringes third-party intellectual property or other rights; (ii) contains sexually explicit content or pornography; (iii) contains hateful, defamatory, or discriminatory material, or incites hatred; (iv) exploits minors; (v) depicts illegal activity or gratuitous violence; (vi) depicts animal cruelty; (vii) promotes fraudulent schemes, multi-level marketing, or dubious financial ventures; or (viii) otherwise violates any applicable law.

License Grants: To operate the Services, you grant AltQuid and its partners (including creators who operate AI Clones) a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as formatting and display), and distribute your User Content as necessary to provide and improve the Services.

The scope of this license varies depending on the visibility of your User Content:

Private Content: If your User Content is stored privately and visible only to you, our license is limited to making it accessible to you and providing the necessary Services.
Limited Audience Content: If shared with specified users (e.g., through direct messages or private clone interactions), the license extends to displaying it to those users. Those users receive a corresponding license to view and interact with that content as permitted by the Services.
Public Content: If shared publicly or provided as feedback or suggestions to AltQuid, the license extends to making it accessible to all users and using it in connection with our business. Other users receive a license to access and use it as the Services permit.

These licenses are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide. Upon account deletion, we will cease displaying your User Content to others (except Public Content, which may remain available). However, copies made or stored by other users prior to deletion may persist.

AltQuid may make technical modifications to your User Content as needed to adapt it for different devices, networks, or display formats.

11. AI-Generated Output

The Services generate responses and content through machine learning and artificial intelligence systems ("Output"). You acknowledge and agree that:

Output is produced by automated systems and has not been individually reviewed, verified, or endorsed by AltQuid;
Output may contain inaccuracies, errors, or information that is incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate;
You are solely responsible for evaluating and independently verifying any Output before relying on it;
Output does not constitute professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or otherwise) and should not be treated as such;
AltQuid bears no responsibility for decisions you make based on Output.

Memory and Pattern Intelligence: AI Clones may retain context from prior conversations to provide more personalized interactions ("Memory"). This functionality relies on machine learning patterns and does not constitute a permanent or infallible record of your conversations. Memory can be managed through your account settings. The existence of Memory features does not change the nature of Output as machine-generated content subject to the disclaimers above.

Crisis Safety: The Services include automated safety systems designed to detect and respond to content indicating potential self-harm or crisis situations. These systems may provide emergency resource information and are not a substitute for professional crisis intervention. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact emergency services directly.

12. Creator Accounts and Monetization

Creator Pro: Eligible users may apply for Creator Pro status, which enables additional features including the ability to create, customize, train, and monetize AI Clones through the Platform.

AI Clone Subscriptions: Creators may offer paid access to their AI Clones through subscription plans set at prices determined by the Creator, subject to Platform minimums and guidelines.

Platform Fee: AltQuid retains a platform fee of 20% of gross subscription revenue generated by each Creator's AI Clone(s). The remaining 80% is payable to the Creator, subject to the payout terms below.

Payouts: Creator earnings are processed through Stripe Connect. By participating in Creator Pro, you agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and acknowledge that payout timing, minimums, and processing are subject to Stripe's terms and policies. AltQuid is not responsible for delays, errors, or failures caused by Stripe or your financial institution.

Creator Obligations: As a Creator, you are responsible for:

Ensuring your AI Clone accurately represents your identity and does not impersonate others;
Training your AI Clone with content you own or have rights to use;
Complying with all applicable laws regarding the content and behavior of your AI Clone;
Maintaining appropriate responsiveness to subscriber concerns and feedback;
Reporting accurate tax information as required.

AltQuid reserves the right to suspend or remove any AI Clone that violates these Terms, our content policies, or applicable law, and to withhold or forfeit pending earnings associated with such violations.

13. Fees and Payment

Certain features of the Services require payment ("Paid Services").

Payment Processing: All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. ("Payment Processor"). By using Paid Services, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. AltQuid is not liable for errors or actions by the Payment Processor.

Charges: By subscribing to a Paid Service, you authorize AltQuid and the Payment Processor to charge the payment method on file for all applicable fees.

Recurring Billing: Paid Services involving subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly or annually) and will automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current rate unless canceled before the renewal date.

Auto-Renewal: Unless you cancel through your account settings, subscriptions will automatically renew. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are issued for partial billing periods.

Billing Information: You must provide accurate and current billing information and promptly update it if it changes. Failure to maintain accurate billing information may result in disruption of your Paid Services.

Price Changes: If subscription pricing changes, we will notify you in advance of the change and the effective date. Your continued subscription after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Free Trials and Promotions: If we offer a free trial or promotional pricing, you must cancel before the trial or promotional period ends to avoid being charged the standard rate. If you are inadvertently charged after canceling during a trial, contact support@brussle.com.

14. Copyright and DMCA

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by contacting us at support@brussle.com with the following information:

Identification of the copyrighted work;
Identification of the infringing material and its location on the Platform;
Your contact information;
A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized;
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner;
Your physical or electronic signature.

We reserve the right to remove or disable access to content alleged to be infringing and to terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

15. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, services, or applications not owned or controlled by AltQuid. We do not endorse, monitor, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party service.

Your interactions with third-party services, including any transactions, are solely between you and that third party. We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

You release AltQuid from all liability arising from your use of any third-party service accessed through or linked from the Platform.

16. Service Changes and Availability

We continuously work to improve the Services and may, at our sole discretion:

Modify, update, or discontinue any feature or part of the Services;
Introduce new features, impose usage limits, or restrict access to certain functionality;
Remove content from the Platform for any reason, including suspected Terms violations.

We will endeavor to provide advance notice of material changes that adversely affect you, but we are not obligated to do so. The Services are provided on an "as available" basis, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

17. Account Termination

By You: You may delete your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting support@brussle.com. Please review our Privacy Policy and the license provisions in Section 10 to understand how your information is treated after account deletion.

By Us: We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. We have sole discretion to determine whether a violation has occurred.

Effects of Termination: Account termination may result in the permanent deletion of your content and data. If you believe your account was terminated in error, contact support@brussle.com promptly. While we will make reasonable efforts to assist, we cannot guarantee recovery of deleted content.

Survival: The following provisions survive termination: payment obligations, license grants, indemnification, limitation of liability, intellectual property provisions, and dispute resolution.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, AI CLONES, OUTPUT, AND RELATED MATERIALS, ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS. ALTQUID AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, AND LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "ALTQUID PARTIES") EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

THE ALTQUID PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT OR OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR COMPLETE.

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

19. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ALTQUID PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE ALTQUID PARTIES EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100); OR (B) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO ALTQUID FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE ALTQUID PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

20. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the AltQuid Parties from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

(a) Your use of the Services, including any actions taken by third parties using your account;

(b) Your User Content;

(d) Your violation of any rights of a third party.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim using the contact information associated with your account, though failure to notify you does not reduce your indemnification obligations.

21. Assignment

You may not assign, delegate, or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, or your account, without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without consent is void.

AltQuid may freely assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms and any of its rights or obligations without restriction or notice.

22. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.

23. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS.

23.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. You and AltQuid agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the relationship between you and AltQuid (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved through final and binding individual arbitration, except that either party may bring qualifying individual claims in small claims court, provided the matter remains in that court on an individual (non-class) basis.

You and AltQuid agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

"Dispute" includes claims that arose before these Terms took effect, claims arising out of any prior agreement with AltQuid, and claims that arise after termination of these Terms. The arbitrator shall decide all issues except those expressly reserved for a court of competent jurisdiction, including questions of scope, validity, enforceability, and arbitrability of this arbitration provision.

This arbitration provision does not prevent you from bringing a Dispute to the attention of any government agency.

23.2 Pre-Arbitration Informal Resolution. Before initiating arbitration, the disputing party must send a written Pre-Arbitration Notice to the other party containing: (a) a detailed description of the Dispute; (b) the party's contact information; (c) information sufficient to identify any transaction at issue; and (d) a description and calculation of the relief sought. The notice must be personally signed by the sending party (or their attorney, if represented).

All Pre-Arbitration Notices to AltQuid must be sent via email to support@brussle.com with the subject line "Pre-Arbitration Notice." AltQuid's Pre-Arbitration Notices to you will be sent to the most recent contact information you have provided.

For 60 days following receipt of a Pre-Arbitration Notice, the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. Either party may request an individualized telephone settlement conference during this period. If the Dispute remains unresolved after 60 days (or such longer period as the parties may agree), either party may initiate arbitration.

Compliance with this pre-arbitration process is a mandatory condition precedent to initiating arbitration. Applicable statutes of limitation are tolled during this informal resolution period.

23.3 Arbitration Rules, Procedures, and Fees. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time arbitration is initiated, as modified by this agreement.

A single arbitrator shall preside and shall apply these Terms as a court would, deciding the Dispute according to applicable law and facts based on the record. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of multiple persons or preside over any class, collective, or representative proceeding unless both parties agree in writing.

To initiate arbitration, the claimant must send an arbitration demand to the AAA and serve a courtesy copy on the other party (to AltQuid via email at support@brussle.com; to you at your most recent contact information on file). The demand must include a copy of the Pre-Arbitration Notice and a signed certification of compliance with the informal resolution process.

Payment of arbitration fees is governed by the AAA Rules. AltQuid will consider requests for fee reimbursement based on demonstrated financial hardship.

All claims must be arbitrated individually. The arbitrator may award relief (including damages, declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief) only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's particular claim. The arbitrator may not issue public injunctions.

23.4 Mass Filing Procedures. If 25 or more similar Disputes are filed by or coordinated by the same counsel or are otherwise coordinated ("Mass Filing"), the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules and the following staged procedures apply:

Stage One: Counsel for each side shall select up to 25 Disputes (50 total) to proceed in individual arbitrations, each assigned to a different arbitrator. Remaining Disputes are stayed and no arbitration fees are assessed for them. Upon completion, if unresolved Disputes remain, the parties shall participate in a global mediation session with a jointly selected retired judge. AltQuid shall pay the mediator's fee.

Stage Two: If Disputes remain after Stage One, counsel for each side shall select up to 50 Disputes (100 total) to proceed individually, with no more than 3 cases per arbitrator. Another global mediation session follows. Thereafter, any remaining Disputes proceed individually through continued staged arbitration or another mutually agreed process.

A court of competent jurisdiction may enforce these Mass Filing procedures, including by enjoining filings or the assessment of arbitration fees.

23.5 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a personally signed written notice via email to support@brussle.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 60 days of first agreeing to Terms that include this arbitration provision. Your notice must include: (a) your name and address; (b) the email address associated with your account; and (c) a clear statement of your intent to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms, including the class action and jury trial waivers.

23.6 Severability. If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that part shall be severed and the remainder shall continue in full force. If the Mass Filing procedures are found inapplicable or unenforceable to your Dispute, the Dispute shall proceed in court consistent with the remainder of these Terms.

23.7 Changes to Arbitration Provision. If we materially change this arbitration provision (other than updating our contact information), you may reject the change by sending a personally signed notice to support@brussle.com within 30 days. Rejection does not constitute an opt-out of arbitration entirely; you will continue to be bound by the version of this provision in effect before the change.

24. Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND ALTQUID EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

YOU AND ALTQUID EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RETAIN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT.

25. Referral Programs

AltQuid may, from time to time, offer referral programs, rewards, or incentives for introducing new users to the Services. Any such programs will be subject to additional terms and conditions presented at the time of the offer. AltQuid reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate any referral program at any time and to revoke referral rewards in cases of abuse, fraud, or violation of program terms.

26. General Provisions

Taxes. You are responsible for all taxes, duties, and governmental assessments associated with your use of the Services, except where AltQuid elects to handle such obligations on its own behalf.

Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and AltQuid regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter.

No Agency. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and AltQuid. You have no authority to bind AltQuid in any manner.

Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth in the arbitration provision, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
