Welcome to Edje. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”) and Sparks Technology Holdings LLC, d/b/a Edje (“Edje,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the Edje platform, application programming interfaces (APIs), and related services (collectively, the “Service”) available at edje.io.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account or use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you further represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of that organization.

2. Description of Service

Edje is an AI-powered podcast platform that generates customized podcast digests and on-demand audio episodes. The Service processes inputs provided by you—including but not limited to emails, API calls, documents, newsletter content, and user-defined preferences such as industry and professional role—and uses artificial intelligence technologies, including deep research and text-to-speech, to produce personalized audio content.

The Service is provided on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription basis. Specific features, functionality, and usage limits may vary by subscription tier and are described on our pricing page at edje.io.

3. Accounts and Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete, and current information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

For business accounts (B2B), the account holder is responsible for the actions of all authorized users within their organization who access the Service through the account holder’s subscription.

4. Subscription and Payment

4.1 Fees

You agree to pay all fees associated with your selected subscription plan as described at the time of purchase. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except as expressly provided in these Terms.

4.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on your plan selection). Payment is processed through our third-party payment provider, Stripe. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees.

4.3 Free Trials and Promotional Access

We may offer free trials or promotional access at our sole discretion. Free trial or promotional terms may be modified or discontinued at any time. At the end of a trial period, your account will convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial expires.

4.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following notice of the change. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Your Content and Intellectual Property

5.1 Your Inputs

“Customer Content” means any data, text, documents, emails, files, or other materials you submit to the Service as inputs for podcast generation. You retain all ownership rights in your Customer Content.

5.2 Representation of Rights

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit Customer Content to the Service, including any third-party content such as newsletters, articles, or other subscription-based materials. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service does not infringe upon or violate the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party.

5.3 Generated Output

“Generated Output” means the podcast episodes, audio content, summaries, and other materials produced by the Service from your Customer Content and preferences. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and your active subscription, you own the Generated Output created from your Customer Content.

5.4 License to Edje

You grant Edje a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, store, and transmit your Customer Content solely for the purpose of providing, maintaining, and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete your Customer Content or your account is terminated, except as required by our data retention policies.

5.5 Edje Platform IP

Edje retains all ownership and intellectual property rights in and to the Service, including but not limited to the platform, AI models, algorithms, software, user interface designs, trademarks (including the Edje name and logo), and any improvements or derivative works thereof. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service other than the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.

6. Data Usage and Privacy

6.1 Service Delivery

We use your Customer Content and preferences to deliver the Service, including inferring your content preferences to generate personalized podcast episodes. This processing is essential to the core functionality of the Service.

6.2 Service Improvement

We may use anonymized and aggregated data derived from Customer Content to improve the Service, including enhancing content recommendations across our user base (for example, identifying that customers with similar profiles tend to prefer similar content). This anonymized data cannot be used to identify you or reconstruct your original Customer Content.

6.3 Opt-Out

You may opt out of having your data used for cross-customer service improvement purposes by contacting us at support@edje.io or through your account settings. Opting out will not affect the core functionality of the Service for your account, though it may limit the personalization of content recommendations.
