  • RESTful API: a comprehensive interface for programmatic integration with external systems.

3.2. Available features may vary depending on the subscribed plan. The Company reserves the right to add, modify, or discontinue features, upon prior notice to the Subscriber.

4. Registration and Account

4.1. To use the Platform, the Subscriber must create an account by providing truthful, complete, and up-to-date information. Providing false or fraudulent information constitutes a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account cancellation, without prejudice to applicable legal remedies.

4.2. The account administrator is responsible for all actions performed by members associated with the organization, including AI Agent configuration, campaign delivery, data management, and interactions with End Customers.

4.3. Enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA/TOTP) is mandatory for the user with the organization owner role, and the Company may condition access to the Platform on its activation. For administrators and other users, activation is strongly recommended. Failure to enable MFA, where optional, does not relieve the Subscriber of liability for unauthorized access resulting from compromised credentials.

4.4. Login via social identity providers (Google, Meta, and Apple) is available as a convenience. The Subscriber acknowledges that the availability of these providers depends on third parties and that the Company is not responsible for changes to or discontinuation of such providers.

4.5. The Subscriber is solely responsible for the security of its access credentials, API keys, and integration tokens. Any activity conducted through valid credentials shall be deemed the Subscriber's responsibility.

5. Plans, Limits, and Billing

5.1. The Platform is offered in different plan tiers, each with specific limits on features, users, channels, AI agents, and conversation volume, including, by way of example, the following, among other plans published on the pricing page:

  • Chatbot: focused on customer service automation via AI agents.
  • Starter: ideal for small teams in the early stages.
  • Growth: for growing teams with advanced automation and AI needs.
  • Scale: for mid-size operations with multiple channels and teams.
  • Enterprise: for large organizations with customized requirements, dedicated SLA, and priority support.

5.2. The pricing, limits, and features for each plan are available on the Platform's billing page and may be updated periodically.

5.3. Payments are processed through the payment methods made available on the Platform's billing page, which may include credit card, PIX, and bank slip (boleto), through payment partners duly identified at the time of contracting, on a monthly or annual basis, as applicable to the subscribed plan.

5.4. As a general rule, no refunds are issued for unused periods following voluntary cancellation, subject to the free trial period and the right of withdrawal provided for in clause 5.7: the free trial period applies to all Subscribers, for the duration indicated in the offer of each plan, and the right of withdrawal under Article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Law No. 8,078/1990) applies to consumer Subscribers who contract remotely, within seven (7) days from the paid subscription, without prejudice to the free trial period applicable to the plan, pursuant to clause 5.7.

5.5. The Company may change plan pricing upon at least thirty (30) days' prior notice. Price changes shall not apply to the current billing cycle.

5.6. The Company may, at its sole discretion, grant courtesy plans to partners, resellers, or under special circumstances. Courtesy plans are governed by the specific Courtesy Agreement entered into with the beneficiary, which also governs the circumstances and time periods for revocation — as a rule, upon thirty (30) days' prior notice for termination without cause, with immediate revocation admitted only in the cases of violation or inactivity provided for therein. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Courtesy Agreement with respect to revocation, the Courtesy Agreement shall prevail.

5.7. Trial Period and Right of Withdrawal. Upon subscribing to any plan, the Subscriber is entitled to a free trial period of at least seven (7) calendar days — or the longer period indicated in the plan's offer at the time of contracting —, counted from account creation/contracting. During the trial period, use of the Platform incurs no charge, and the Subscriber may cancel at any time, at no cost. Upon conversion to a paid subscription, the timing of the first charge depends on the chosen payment method: (i) for subscriptions by credit card (recurring billing), the first charge is deferred to the end of the trial period, provided the Subscriber keeps the subscription active; (ii) for subscriptions by a non-recurring payment method (PIX or bank slip), the charge occurs at the time of the paid subscription, at which point the free trial period ends.

Additionally, and separately from the trial period above, in compliance with Article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Law No. 8,078/1990), consumer Subscribers who contract remotely may exercise the right of withdrawal within seven (7) days from the paid subscription, with full restitution of any amounts paid. The Company reserves the right to limit the creation of multiple trial accounts by the same Subscriber or organization, using identity verification mechanisms (CPF/CNPJ, email, telephone, and IP).

5.8. Post-Confirmation Bonus — 7 Additional Days. By keeping the subscription active after the end of the free trial period provided for in clause 5.7 (converting it into a paid subscription), the Subscriber shall receive, as a commercial courtesy, a bonus of seven (7) additional days of use, at no additional charge, which shall be automatically added to the end of the first billing cycle. This bonus: (a) does not constitute a vested right and may be discontinued for future subscriptions; (b) is not convertible into cash; and (c) does not extend the withdrawal period provided by law.

5.9. Failure to fulfill any financial obligation authorizes the Company to suspend access to the Platform until regularization, without prejudice to the collection of amounts due and default charges as provided by law (Article 395 of the Brazilian Civil Code).

6. Acceptable Use

6.1. The Subscriber agrees to use the Platform in compliance with applicable law, these Terms, and the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) published on the Platform. The Subscriber agrees not to use the Platform to:

  • Send spam, unsolicited bulk messages, misleading messages, or fraud of any nature, in violation of the Brazilian Internet Civil Framework (Law No. 12,965/2014, Article 21).
  • Violate the usage policies of integrated channel platforms, including the WhatsApp Business Policy, Meta Platform Terms, and Telegram Terms of Service.
  • Transmit illegal, defamatory, discriminatory, threatening, obscene content, content inciting violence, or content that infringes third-party rights.
  • Use the Platform for purposes that violate the LGPD, GDPR, or any applicable data protection legislation.
  • Attempt to access systems, data, or accounts of other users or organizations without authorization.
  • Intentionally overload the Platform's infrastructure (DDoS, abusive scraping, etc.).

6.2. For mass messaging campaigns, the Subscriber must ensure that recipients have provided prior, freely given, informed, and unambiguous consent (opt-in), pursuant to the LGPD, Article 7(I), and the GDPR, Article 6(1)(a). The Subscriber shall maintain verifiable records of such consent.

6.3. Violation of this section may result in immediate suspension or cancellation of the account, at the sole discretion of the Company, without right to refund and without prejudice to applicable civil and criminal liability.

7. Third-Party Integrations

7.1. The use of third-party channels and integrations is subject to the terms and policies of the respective platforms. The Subscriber is solely and entirely responsible for ensuring that its use complies with:

7.2. ChatSense shall not be held liable for suspensions, blocks, penalties, functionality restrictions, or any losses imposed by third-party platforms as a result of improper, abusive, or non-compliant use by the Subscriber.

7.3. Changes to the APIs, policies, or terms of third-party platforms may impact the availability or functionality of certain integrations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain functional integrations but does not guarantee continuous or uninterrupted compatibility with third-party platforms.

8. Artificial Intelligence — Disclaimer and Liability

CRITICAL SECTION — READ CAREFULLY. This section governs the use of all Artificial Intelligence features of the Platform, including text and voice interactions (telephone calls conducted by an AI Agent).

8.1. Nature of AI

The Artificial Intelligence integrated into the Platform is an assistive tool and does not replace human judgment. AI Agents are probabilistic systems based on large language models (LLMs) that generate responses based on statistical patterns, not on factual understanding or autonomous reasoning.

8.2. No Warranty of Accuracy

The Company does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, fitness, or timeliness of responses generated by AI Agents. Language models may produce incorrect, outdated, biased, or fabricated information (a phenomenon known as "hallucination"). The Subscriber expressly acknowledges this risk upon activating AI Agents.

8.3. Subscriber Liability

The Subscriber assumes full and sole liability for the behavior, configuration, and responses of AI Agents within its organization, including, without limitation:

  • The proper configuration and maintenance of safety guardrails (10 default flags, which should remain active for safe use).
  • The definition of system prompts, tone, personality, and scope of operation of the Agents.
  • The periodic review of responses provided by AI Agents to End Customers.
  • All consequences arising from inaccurate, inappropriate, or harmful responses generated by AI Agents.
  • Compliance with regulatory obligations applicable to the Subscriber's industry.

8.4. Obligation of Human Escalation

The Subscriber must keep the human escalation feature enabled for all AI Agents. Disabling escalation is done at the Subscriber's sole risk, and the Subscriber assumes full liability for any consequences of such disabling, including potential violations of the consumer's right to be served by a natural person (Brazilian Consumer Defense Code, Article 6(III) — right to adequate information).

8.5. Transparency with End Customers

The Subscriber must clearly, accessibly, and unambiguously inform its End Customers that they are interacting with an Artificial Intelligence system and not with a human agent. This obligation arises from the principle of objective good faith (Brazilian Civil Code, Article 422), the duty to inform consumers (Brazilian Consumer Defense Code, Article 6(III)), and the transparency obligations set forth in Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), Article 50.

8.6. Classification under the EU AI Act

For purposes of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act), ChatSense qualifies as a "provider" of an AI system that integrates general-purpose AI models developed by third parties, and is subject to the transparency obligations of Article 50. The Subscriber qualifies as a "deployer", within the meaning of Article 3(4), and is responsible for the deployer transparency obligations under Article 50 and, if its specific use qualifies as a high-risk AI system within the meaning of Article 6 and Annex III of said Regulation, for the additional obligations under Articles 26 and 27.

8.7. Express Prohibitions

The Subscriber is expressly prohibited from using the Platform's AI Agents for the following purposes:

  • Medical diagnosis: AI Agents are not medical devices and shall not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases, in accordance with ANVISA RDC No. 185/2001 and Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).
  • Financial advice: AI Agents shall not provide investment recommendations, financial advisory, credit analysis, or any guidance regulated by the CVM (CVM Instruction No. 598/2018) or equivalent authorities.
  • Legal advice: AI Agents shall not provide legal opinions, legal counsel, or legal guidance constituting the practice of law, pursuant to the Brazilian Bar Association Statute (Law No. 8,906/1994, Article 1).
  • Automated decisions with legal effects: without human intervention, pursuant to the LGPD, Article 20, and the GDPR, Article 22.

8.8. Additional Liability Terms

The use of AI Agents for sensitive activities, including but not limited to adult content, automated price negotiation, religious or political references, may require the acceptance of additional specific liability terms, which shall be made available on the Platform prior to the activation of such features.

8.9. Company's Exclusion of Liability

Subject to the provisions of Section 13, including the carve-out in clause 13.5 (Brazilian Consumer Defense Code), ChatSense shall not be held liable for decisions, actions, or omissions taken by the Subscriber, its employees, or End Customers based on responses, suggestions, or information generated by Artificial Intelligence, nor for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from reliance on AI outputs, within the limits and under the terms of Section 13.

8.10. Data and AI

Data processed by AI systems — including conversations, knowledge base content, and vector embeddings — are used exclusively for the provision of the contracted service. The Platform may use conversation and interaction content from the Subscriber's own organization, in a manner isolated per organization, as context and examples to improve the responses of the AI Agents of that same organization (governed intra-organizational learning). The Company does not use Subscriber Data or End Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or improve global AI models, whether proprietary or third-party, nor does it share such data between different organizations.

8-A. Campaign Studio and Credits

8-A.1. The Campaign Studio is the Platform feature for creating, generating, and dispatching AI-assisted marketing campaigns, upon consumption of credits ("Studio Credits"), whether purchased individually or granted as a plan allowance.

8-A.2. Non-refundable credits

Studio Credits are not refundable in cash, in whole or in part, including in the event of non-use, account cancellation, or dissatisfaction with the generated output. The sole exception is a reversal in credits — never in cash — in cases of a technical failure of the Platform, as determined by the Company, that prevents completion of the contracted generation or dispatch.

8-A.3. Automatic agentic approval of creatives

By using the Campaign Studio, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that creatives (images, videos, and copy) are generated, evaluated, and approved automatically by AI systems (agentic approval), without prior human review by the Company. It is the Subscriber's responsibility to review the content before dispatching it to End Customers and to be accountable for the published material, with the provisions of Section 8 of these Terms applying where relevant.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1. The Platform, including all of its source code, algorithms, interfaces, trademarks, logos, design, documentation, and content produced by the Company, is the exclusive property of VertexHub do Brasil Ltda, protected by the Brazilian Copyright Act (Law No. 9,610/1998), the Software Act (Law No. 9,609/1998), and applicable industrial property legislation.

9.2. The Subscriber retains full ownership of all data, content, and materials uploaded to the Platform. By using the Platform, the Subscriber grants the Company a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-transferable license to process, store, and transmit such data solely for the purpose of providing the service.

9.3. The Subscriber is expressly prohibited from reverse-engineering, decompiling, disassembling, modifying, creating derivative works from, copying, distributing, or otherwise exploiting the Platform or its source code, in whole or in part.

9.4. Applications and integrations made available through the Marketplace may have distinct intellectual property rights belonging to their respective developers and are subject to their own terms.

10. Privacy and Data Protection

10.1. The processing of Personal Data by the Platform is governed by the Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement (DPA), which are incorporated herein by reference.

10.2. In the relationship between the parties, the Subscriber acts as the Data Controller and the Company acts as the Data Processor with respect to End Customer Personal Data, pursuant to the LGPD (Articles 5(VI) and (VII), and Article 39) and the GDPR (Articles 4(7), 4(8), and 28).

10.3. The Company implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data against unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, or disclosure, in compliance with the LGPD, Article 46, and the GDPR, Article 32, including: encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256-GCM), data isolation by organization (Row-Level Security), audit logs, and role-based access control (RBAC).

10.4. For international data transfers, the Company adopts the mechanisms provided for under the LGPD, Article 33, and the GDPR, Chapter V, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where applicable. The up-to-date list of sub-processors, including AI model providers and their respective jurisdictions (which may include the United States of America and others), forms part of the DPA and is available on the Platform; relevant changes shall be communicated to the Subscriber with an opportunity to object, under the terms of the DPA.

11. Confidentiality

11.1. The parties mutually agree to maintain in confidence all confidential and proprietary information obtained in connection with the contractual relationship, including, without limitation: business data, commercial strategies, technical information, customer data, commercial terms, and any information designated as confidential.

11.2. The confidentiality obligation shall not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known without fault of the receiving party; (b) was already in the possession of the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is legitimately received from third parties without confidentiality restrictions; or (d) must be disclosed by force of judicial or administrative order. In the cases under item (d), the Company shall record the disclosure in an immutable audit trail (identification of the authority, case, date, and integrity of the package provided) and, unless prohibited by law or otherwise determined by the authority, shall notify the Subscriber.

11.3. The confidentiality obligation shall survive termination or expiration of these Terms for a period of five (5) years, or for the period required by applicable law, whichever is longer.

12. SLA and Availability

12.1. The Company commits to maintaining monthly Platform availability at the following levels, depending on the subscribed plan:

  • Unavailability caused by acts or omissions of the Subscriber, including API misuse or excessive requests.

12.3. The complete SLA terms, including metrics, service credits, and incident reporting procedures, are available in the specific SLA document for the subscribed plan. In the event of conflict, the specific SLA document shall prevail over this section.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company's total and aggregate liability for any damages arising from these Terms or the use of the Platform shall be limited to the lesser of: (a) the total amount actually paid by the Subscriber in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the damage; or (b) BRL 50,000.00 (fifty thousand Brazilian reais).

13.5. In relationships characterized as consumer relationships, the limitations in this section apply only to the extent permitted by the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (Law No. 8,078/1990), and do not set aside rights that the law establishes as non-waivable.
