Terms of Service

Last updated: May 27, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the HeyARIA service. HeyARIA ("we," "us," or "our") is operated by HeyAria LLC, a California limited liability company.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you have questions, contact legal@heyaria.cc.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

1.1 Acceptance

You accept these Terms by (a) clicking "I agree" during onboarding, (b) connecting your calendar, email, or Slack account to the Service, or (c) using the Service in any way.

1.2 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to both you individually and the entity.

1.3 Intended Audience

The Service is designed for adult professional users in the entertainment industry. Use outside this context is permitted but not specifically supported.

2. Description of the Service

HeyARIA is an AI-powered scheduling assistant. The core flow:

You forward or CC emails to your assistant's dedicated address (e.g., aria@heyaria.cc, riley@heyaria.cc, or another personalized address assigned during onboarding).
The Service reads thread context and proposes scheduling actions.
The Service communicates with you via Slack to confirm decisions.
Upon your authorization, the Service sends emails as your assistant from your dedicated assistant address, creates, modifies, or cancels calendar events as needed (including reschedules), and generates video meeting links (Google Meet via Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams via Microsoft Graph, or Zoom).
The Service produces digests, follow-up reminders, and other outputs to support your workflow.

Assistant addresses are typically provisioned on the heyaria.cc domain. Enterprise customers may request provisioning on their own corporate domain, subject to additional onboarding.

The features, capabilities, and design of the Service may evolve over time. We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove features.

3. Beta Status

3.1 The Service is in Beta

The Service is currently provided in beta or early-access form. As such:

The Service may contain bugs, errors, or interruptions.
Features may be added, modified, or removed without notice.
Data loss, downtime, or unintended behavior may occur.
We do not provide a service-level agreement (SLA) or uptime guarantee during the beta period.

3.2 Use at Your Own Risk

You acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of using a beta service. You should not rely on the Service as the sole method of managing critical scheduling. You are responsible for maintaining independent records of important commitments.

3.3 Feedback

You may provide feedback, suggestions, or bug reports. By doing so, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free license to use such feedback to improve the Service. Feedback is not confidential unless explicitly designated as such.

4. Your Account

4.1 Account Setup

You will provide accurate information during onboarding, including your name, professional email, role, time zone, and the relationships and projects you wish the Service to consider when scheduling on your behalf.

4.2 Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding access to your account, including the email address, Slack workspace, and calendar accounts you connect. You must notify us promptly at security@heyaria.cc if you suspect unauthorized access.

4.3 One Account per Person

Each account is for a single individual user (the "Executive User"). You may not share your account with others or transfer it without our written consent.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third party's rights.
Send spam, phishing messages, or other unsolicited communications.
Harass, threaten, or impersonate any person.
Infringe intellectual property rights of any party.
Distribute malware or attempt to compromise the integrity of the Service.
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service.
Use the Service to compete with us or to develop a competing product.
Submit information you do not have the right to share, including confidential information of third parties for which you lack authorization.

We may suspend or terminate your access for violations of this section, with or without notice.

6. AI-Generated Content

6.1 The Service Uses AI

HeyARIA uses large language models (currently Anthropic's Claude) to generate email and Slack messages on your behalf. This means:

Outputs are generated by AI based on the context you provide.
Outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or unexpected content.
The Service may misinterpret instructions, miss context, or behave in unintended ways, particularly during the beta period.

6.2 Your Responsibility for Review

You remain responsible for the actions taken on your behalf by the Service. You are expected to review Slack notifications, calendar events, and outbound emails generated by the Service. If you authorize an action (e.g., approve a proposed time via Slack), you are deemed to have reviewed and accepted that action.

6.3 No Guarantee of Accuracy

We do not guarantee that any AI-generated output is accurate, appropriate, or fit for purpose. The Service is a tool to support your scheduling decisions, not a substitute for your professional judgment.

7. Authorization and Grants

7.1 Authorization to Act on Your Behalf

By using the Service, you authorize HeyARIA to:

Read incoming emails sent to or CC'd on your assistant's dedicated address.
Send outbound emails from your assistant's dedicated address as your AI assistant, referring to you as the Executive User on whose behalf scheduling is being arranged.
Read your calendar (Google Calendar, or Microsoft 365 via Microsoft Graph) via OAuth.
Create, modify, and delete calendar events at your direction.
Generate video meeting links on your behalf (Google Meet via Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams via Microsoft Graph's OnlineMeetings.ReadWrite scope, or Zoom).
Send messages to you via Slack.

7.2 Scope of Authorization

This authorization is limited to actions reasonably related to scheduling and the features of the Service. You may revoke any authorization at any time by disconnecting the relevant integration in your settings or by contacting privacy@heyaria.cc.

7.3 License to Your Content

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to access, store, process, and transmit your data and content solely for the purposes of providing the Service. This license terminates when you delete your account, subject to the retention periods described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Your Representations and Warranties

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

8.1 Authority

You have the authority to enter into these Terms.

8.2 Right to Share Information

You have the necessary rights, consents, or other lawful bases to share with us any data you provide, including:

Your professional contact list and relationship information.
Email correspondence forwarded to your assistant's address, including emails involving third parties.
Calendar event details involving third parties.

8.3 Compliance with Third-Party Obligations

You are responsible for complying with any confidentiality, non-disclosure, or contractual obligations you owe to third parties whose information passes through the Service. The Service does not absolve you of these obligations.

8.4 No Sensitive Data

You will not knowingly submit to the Service:

Health or medical information protected under HIPAA.
Financial account credentials.
Government-issued ID numbers (e.g., Social Security numbers).
Information about minors.
Information classified above your organization's permitted handling level.

If such information is incidentally included in email correspondence forwarded to the Service, it will be processed under the same retention and security policies as other data, but the Service is not designed for or marketed for handling such information.

9. Intellectual Property

9.1 Our IP

We retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including its software, design, trademarks, logos, and any improvements derived from feedback you provide. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership in our intellectual property.

9.2 Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you submit (emails, calendar entries, profile information). Subject to the license granted in Section 7.3, your content remains yours.

9.3 No Use for Model Training

We do not use your content to train AI models. Our LLM provider (Anthropic) also does not use API data for training, per their commercial terms.

10. Fees and Billing

10.3 Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes arising from your use of the Service.

Logging administrative access to your data.
Not disclosing your content to any third party except as required by law or as authorized by you.

You acknowledge that the Service uses AI infrastructure that processes your content to generate outputs (see Section 6). This processing is necessary for the Service to function and is not a breach of confidentiality.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
