Terms and Conditions of Service

Effective Date: April 16, 2026

Welcome to Absorb Blue Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms and Conditions of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website, mobile applications, and our proprietary educational services, including the Artificial Professor(TM) and the Artificial Professor of Bio 101(TM) (collectively, the "Services").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.

These Terms include a binding arbitration clause and a class action waiver (see Section 9). Please read them carefully as they affect your legal rights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. NATURE OF THE SERVICES: THE ARTIFICIAL PROFESSOR(TM)

1.1 AI-Powered Educational Agents

You acknowledge that the Artificial Professor(TM) is an automated learning agent powered by artificial intelligence and our proprietary EKU-based knowledge systematization methodology. Unlike traditional static content, the Artificial Professor interacts with you dynamically.

- No Human Oversight: Interactions with the Artificial Professor are generated by software. There is no human instructor monitoring your real-time interactions unless specifically so stated or for the purposes of technical support.

- Potential for Inaccuracy ("Hallucinations"): While we strive for accuracy through our EKU methodology, AI technology may occasionally output incorrect, misleading, or out-of-date information. You agree to verify any critical information with your own and independent and authoritative primary sources (e.g., textbooks, peer-reviewed journals, etc.). Absorb Blue is not responsible for errors in in your interactions with our Services.

1.2 Educational Methodology & App Functionality

The Services implement a new educational paradigm that departs from traditional lectures, textbooks, homework, and tests. Learning is organized around discrete Elementary Knowledge Units ("EKUs") and is delivered through an agent-led, chat-based interaction that users may engage with via text or voice. The underlying methods, systems, and user experience are proprietary to Absorb Blue and are protected by one or more issued and pending patents, as further described in Section 4.

The scope, number, and organization of EKUs, as well as the specific features, interaction flows, and interface elements of the Services, may be added to, modified, or removed at our discretion as the Services evolve.

1.3 Educational Purpose Only (No Professional Advice)

The Services are for educational and informational purposes only.

- Not Medical Advice: The Artificial Professor of Bio 101(TM) may discuss biological processes, anatomy, or medical concepts. THIS CONTENT IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. It does not establish a doctor-patient relationship, and you should not rely on the Artificial Professor for medical decision-making. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.

- Not Legal or Financial Advice: Similarly, any content related to law, finance, or other regulated professions is purely for academic study.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. BETA SERVICES, WAITLIST, AND CROWDFUNDING

2.1 Beta Access

The Artificial Professor of Bio 101(TM) is currently being developed and we anticipate to first present it in a "Beta" or "Pre-Release" state. By accessing this Beta, you acknowledge:

- The Service may contain bugs, errors, and other faults (e.g., incorrect or incomplete EKUs and structures).
- In addition, the Service may experience downtime or data loss.
- Absorb Blue expressly disclaims all warranties regarding the stability of the Beta Service.

2.2 Waitlist and Promotional Offers

Users who join the waitlist for the Artificial Professor of Bio 101(TM) may be eligible for a special promotional offer, that may be described as "$100 off the release price" or as access to a "Pre-Buy / Early Bird" cohort or as a crowdfunding "Waitlist Tier" or that may be referred to by related wordings.

- Redemption: This offer will be redeemable at Absorb Blue's sole discretion either as a direct discount code when purchasing access to the Services, for a limited time after such access has been made available for purchase, or in the form of an invitation to early or restricted access to a reward tier on a third-party crowdfunding platform (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo) that may be limited in size.

- Crowdfunding Specifics: If the launch is conducted via crowdfunding, you acknowledge that your payment is a donation/pledge to support the development of the Artificial Professor, not a traditional retail purchase. In addition, such pledges are subject to the Terms of Service of the respective platform (e.g., Kickstarter, Indiegogo). Refunds for crowdfunding pledges are generally not permitted once the campaign closes, as funds are immediately applied to development.

- Non-Transferable: Waitlist spots and associated discounts are non-transferable and have no cash redemption value.

3. USER ACCOUNTS, SECURITY, AND APP MARKETPLACES

4.5 Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. PAYMENT AND REFUNDS

- Subscriptions: Services may be offered on a subscription basis (daily/monthly/annual/other). Payments are processed by third-party gateways (e.g., Stripe, RevenueCat) or through your designated App Store account (e.g., Apple iTunes or Google Play).

- Auto-Renewal: Unless you cancel before the end of the then-current billing period, paid subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods of the same length at the then-current price. You may cancel at any time through your account settings or, for App Store purchases, through the applicable platform's subscription management tools.

- Refund Policy: Except as required by law, payments are non-refundable. Consumers located in jurisdictions that provide statutory withdrawal or cooling-off rights (such as the European Union and the United Kingdom) retain those rights as provided by local law; you acknowledge, however, that by accessing digital content immediately upon purchase you may be agreeing to waive any such withdrawal right to the extent permitted by law. For the Bio 101 Beta Pre-buy, specific refund terms applicable to the crowdfunding platform (e.g., Kickstarter) will apply. If purchased via a mobile platform, the refund policies of Apple or Google will govern the transaction.

- Price Changes: We reserve the right to change subscription fees upon notice to you. Changes will take effect no earlier than the start of your next billing period following such notice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE."

7.1 No Warranties

ABSORB BLUE INC. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE ARTIFICIAL PROFESSOR WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR LEARNING OBJECTIVES.

9. GOVERNING LAW AND ARBITRATION

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Binding Arbitration. ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for qualifying disputes. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be conducted in English, and the seat of arbitration will be Wilmington, Delaware, provided that you may elect to participate by telephone, videoconference, or written submissions where permitted by the AAA rules. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver. CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE WAIVED. You and Absorb Blue each agree that any dispute resolution proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, or representative action.

30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to hello@absorb.blue with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable in a particular case, then the entirety of this Section 9 will be null and void as to that case, but the remainder of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice by posting the updated Terms on our website and, where appropriate, by sending notice to the email address associated with your account. Changes will become effective on the date stated in the notice (or, if no date is stated, fourteen (14) days after posting). Your continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services before the effective date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. MISCELLANEOUS

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any policies referenced herein (including the Privacy Policy and the Intellectual Property & Innovation page), constitute the entire agreement between you and Absorb Blue regarding the Services.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
