7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Certifications's Intellectual Property

All intellectual property in the Service — including the Certifications and Certifications brand marks, the Longevity Score methodology and scoring engine, the behavioral aging model, Zen's voice and character, all software, and all content produced by Certifications — is owned by or licensed to Certifications. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes during the term of these Terms.

7.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of media, photos, and content you upload to the Service. By uploading content, you grant Certifications a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and use your content solely to provide the Service features you have enabled. We do not claim ownership of your content and will not use it for commercial purposes beyond the Service without your explicit consent.

8. Health and Scientific Disclaimers

Scientific foundation: The Certifications scoring methodology is informed by peer-reviewed research, including Shim, Fleisch & Barata (2024) published in npj Digital Medicine. However, the Certifications behavioral aging engine is a behavioral tracking instrument — it has not been validated as a clinical diagnostic tool and should not be used as one. Certifications makes no representation that improving your Longevity Score will extend your lifespan, prevent disease, or produce any specific health outcome.

Orthosomnia risk: Tracking health metrics can occasionally contribute to performance anxiety around sleep and wellness behaviors. If you experience distress related to your scores, we encourage you to consult a healthcare professional and to use the opt-out settings available in the app.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CERTIFICATIONS LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, HEALTH OUTCOMES, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO CERTIFICATIONS IN THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (b) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Certifications, its officers, directors, employees, scientific advisors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) any content you create or upload as a creator; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms shall first be subject to good-faith negotiation between the parties for a period of 30 days. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Delaware under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.
