Datacea

Terms of Service

Effective and last updated: 31 July 2026.

These Terms of Service (the Terms) are a binding agreement between you and DATACEA LLC, a company based in Cleveland, Ohio, United States (Datacea, we, us, or our). They govern your access to and use of Zicarium and every other application, website, feature, and service that we operate and link to these Terms (together, the Services).

Please read these Terms carefully. If you do not agree to them, do not access or use the Services. By clicking an acceptance control, creating an account, downloading or installing an application, or accessing or using a Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and you includes that organization.

1. Eligibility

You may create an account only if you are at least 18 years old, have reached the age of legal majority where you live, and can enter into a binding contract. You may not use the Services if the law bars you from doing so or if we previously suspended or terminated you for violating these Terms.

A parent or legal guardian may permit a minor to use a local-only copy of an application under the parent or guardian’s direct supervision. The parent or guardian accepts these Terms for that use and is responsible for the minor’s activity. A minor may not create or control an account.

2. Accounts and security

You do not currently need an account to use Zicarium’s local-only features. Without an account, your content records remain on your device and are not stored in your Zicarium account on our servers. Requests to our websites and download servers can still create the technical logs described in the Privacy Policy.

An account is required for server-backed features such as synchronization between devices and the assistant we provide. You must give accurate account information, keep it current, safeguard your credentials and devices, and promptly tell us at contact@datacea.com if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent permitted by law. You may not transfer, sell, rent, or share an account.

3. Permission to use the Services

Subject to these Terms, we give you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable permission to access and use the Services for your own lawful purposes. This is a licence, not a sale. We and our licensors retain every right not expressly granted to you.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, publicly display, publicly perform, or commercially exploit any part of the Services except where we expressly allow it. You may not reverse engineer or attempt to extract source code except to the limited extent that applicable law prohibits that restriction. Separate open-source licences control any components distributed under them.

The Services, including their software, design, text, graphics, logos, and organization, are owned by or licensed to Datacea and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Datacea, Zicarium, Zeke, and related names and marks may not be used without our prior written permission.

4. Your content

Your Content means information, files, photographs, prompts, and other material that you enter, upload, import, synchronize, or otherwise provide through the Services. As between you and Datacea, you retain ownership of Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, transmit, format, process, back up, and otherwise use Your Content only as reasonably necessary to:

This licence lets us use service providers acting for us and ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, except for limited backup copies, security records, and material we must retain by law or to establish or defend legal claims. It does not let us sell Your Content, use it for advertising, or use it to train machine-learning models. The Privacy Policy explains our data practices in more detail.

You represent and warrant that you own Your Content or have all rights, notices, consents, and permissions needed for us to process it as these Terms and the Privacy Policy describe. You are responsible for Your Content, including its accuracy, legality, and the consequences of collecting or sharing information about other people. Do not upload confidential, proprietary, biometric, health, or other sensitive information about another person unless you are legally permitted to do so.

We do not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for Your Content. We have no general duty to monitor it, but we may review, preserve, restrict, or remove content when reasonably necessary to operate or secure the Services, comply with law or legal process, or enforce these Terms.

5. Feedback

If you voluntarily send us an idea, suggestion, or other feedback about the Services, you give us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use and commercialize it without restriction, attribution, or compensation. Do not send feedback you are not authorized to license this way. Feedback does not include Your Content stored in Zicarium.

6. Sensitive information and face grouping

Some features can store sensitive records or create mathematical descriptions used to group similar faces in photographs. Face grouping can make mistakes and is not an identity-verification or security system. Do not use it to make decisions about a person’s identity, eligibility, employment, housing, credit, insurance, health, safety, legal rights, or access to any product, service, or place.

On supported desktop and mobile applications, face processing can occur entirely on your device. On the web application, it occurs on our servers. Before enabling a server-processed face feature, you must have all rights and legally required notices, consents, or releases for the photographs and people concerned. You may not use the feature for surveillance or to identify strangers.

The Privacy Policy contains additional information about face grouping. If we present a separate biometric notice or consent, that notice supplements these Terms and controls for the processing it describes.

7. Artificial intelligence and automated features

The Services can use artificial intelligence and other automated systems to generate text, extract information, classify content, suggest links, recognize objects, group faces, calculate values, or take actions at your request (Automated Output). Automated Output can be incomplete, inaccurate, offensive, out of date, or inappropriate for your circumstances. Similar inputs can produce the same or similar output for different users.

You are responsible for reviewing Automated Output and confirming its accuracy and suitability before relying on, sharing, or acting on it. You must maintain human oversight appropriate to the risk. Do not represent that Automated Output is human-generated when doing so would mislead someone, and do not use it in a way that violates another person’s rights.

To the extent permitted by law, we do not promise that you own Automated Output or that it is eligible for intellectual-property protection, original, accurate, or non-infringing. Your use of Automated Output is at your own risk.

8. No professional advice or emergency use

The Services and Automated Output are for organization and general information. They are not medical, health, legal, financial, tax, accounting, investment, safety, or other professional advice. Datacea is not a health-care provider, pharmacy, financial institution, law firm, emergency service, or professional records custodian. The Services do not create a doctor-patient, lawyer-client, fiduciary, or other professional relationship.

Never rely on the Services for an emergency, diagnosis, treatment, medication choice or dosage, suicide or crisis response, legal or financial decision, regulatory filing, or time-critical reminder. Contact a qualified professional or emergency service as appropriate. Always verify measurements, calculations, imported information, schedules, alerts, and reminders independently.

Datacea is not a covered entity or business associate under the United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act merely because you choose to store health information in a consumer Service, and we do not agree to act as one unless we sign a separate written agreement saying so.

9. Third-party services and your own assistant provider

The Services may link to, interoperate with, or depend on services, content, devices, app stores, operating systems, networks, or software provided by others (Third-Party Services). We do not control and are not responsible for Third-Party Services, their availability, security, accuracy, content, terms, or data practices. Your use of them is governed by your agreement with their provider. We may change or stop an integration at any time.

You can configure the assistant to use an OpenAI-compatible provider and API key of your own. If you do, you instruct us to transmit the selected content to that provider. Your relationship with that provider is yours: its terms, privacy practices, usage limits, and prices govern. You are responsible for its charges, and Datacea is not a party to that relationship. We do not warrant compatibility with every provider or model.

10. Acceptable use

You may not use, or help anyone use, the Services to:

We may investigate suspected violations. We may preserve relevant records, cooperate with lawful investigations, and report conduct to authorities where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect a person, the public, our rights, or the Services.

Report suspected child sexual exploitation, endangerment, trafficking, or child sexual abuse material to contact@datacea.com. Do not download, copy, or send us suspected child sexual abuse material.

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe material available through a Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to contact@datacea.com identifying the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or restrict material and terminate repeat infringers where appropriate. A person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in an infringement notice or response may be liable for resulting damages and costs. This section does not admit that any particular Service stores material at a user’s direction or qualifies for a statutory safe harbor.

12. Availability, changes, and beta features

We may add, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We do not guarantee that a Service or feature will always be available, remain free, work on a particular device, retain compatibility, or receive maintenance or support. When reasonably practicable, we will give account holders notice of a material discontinuation, but circumstances can require immediate action.

Features labelled alpha, beta, preview, experimental, or similar are unfinished, may be less reliable, can change without notice, and may never become generally available. Do not use them for important or production purposes.

The Services can be interrupted by maintenance, failures, attacks, suppliers, networks, legal requirements, and events beyond our control. Local-only features may continue to work, but server features, the web application, downloads, and synchronization may not.

13. Data loss, export, and backups

You are responsible for maintaining independent, current backups of Your Content and for testing that they can be restored. Do not use the Services as the only copy of important information. Synchronization is not a substitute for a backup.

We may offer export tools, but we do not warrant that every item, relationship, format, setting, or piece of metadata will export perfectly or remain usable in other software. Before deleting an account, application, device copy, or important item, export and verify what you need.

You may export, copy, transform, and migrate Your Content, including by importing a portable export into software or a database with a different, independently developed design. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Your Content to Datacea or prevents you from using it with another product or service.

A database export may contain both Your Content and proprietary elements of the Services, including Datacea’s database schema, table and field organization, relationships, indexes, conventions, and other implementation material (Datacea Database Materials). You may possess, copy, inspect, query, transform, and use an exported database as reasonably necessary to access, back up, recover, analyze, or migrate Your Content, including with third-party tools.

Your ownership of Your Content is not affected. Except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise, the export does not grant you a licence to copy, adopt, publish, distribute, sublicense, or use the Datacea Database Materials to develop, operate, or provide a product or service that substitutes for or competes with Zicarium. This restriction does not prohibit independently developing a different database design or importing Your Content into one.

This restriction also applies to Datacea’s proprietary source code, object code, or source-like or decompiled code obtained from or derived from the Services. Separate open-source licences continue to control components distributed under them, and nothing in these Terms prohibits an act that applicable law does not allow us to restrict.

Deleting an application from one device generally does not delete an account or server copy. Account and content deletion are described in the Privacy Policy. Backup copies and records required for security, legal compliance, or disputes can remain for a limited period. We have no obligation to recover deleted or lost content.

14. Charges

Zicarium’s local-only features and server-backed features are currently offered without a charge from Datacea. Your network, device, app marketplace, and Third-Party Service providers may charge you separately.

We may introduce paid features in the future. Before charging you, we will present the price, billing interval, renewal and cancellation terms, and any refund terms, and obtain any consent the law requires. Taxes and third-party charges may apply. No current statement that a feature is free is a promise that it will remain free permanently.

15. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time and may close your account through the available account controls or by contacting us. These Terms remain applicable to earlier use.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, failed to pay an amount due, exposed another person to harm, or if we discontinue the relevant Service. We may act without advance notice when reasonably necessary, but will provide notice where required by law.

After termination, your licence to use the affected Services ends. You may lose access to Your Content, so export it before closing an account whenever possible. Sections that by their nature should survive—including those concerning ownership, feedback, payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, disputes, and general terms—survive termination.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES, AUTOMATED OUTPUT, AND ALL RELATED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. DATACEA AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (THE “DATACEA PARTIES”) DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST OR CORRUPTED.

The Datacea Parties do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components; that defects will be corrected; that synchronization, alerts, reminders, exports, face matches, or Automated Output will be accurate or timely; or that the Services will meet your needs. You assume the entire risk arising from your use of the Services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions. In those jurisdictions, exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law, and any legally required warranty is limited to the shortest duration the law permits.

17. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DATACEA PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; PERSONAL OR PROFESSIONAL DECISIONS; OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, OR DATA LOSS, EVEN IF A DATACEA PARTY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DATACEA PARTIES’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO DATACEA FOR THE RELEVANT SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY. IF YOU USED THE RELEVANT SERVICE WITHOUT PAYING DATACEA, THAT AMOUNT IS ZERO.

These exclusions and limits apply regardless of the form of action, whether contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or otherwise; apply collectively to the Datacea Parties; and are an essential basis of the bargain, including when a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not exclude or limit liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Datacea Parties from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or relating to:

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim was caused by a Datacea Party’s own conduct and applicable law prohibits shifting that responsibility. We may control the defence and settlement of an indemnified claim, and you will reasonably cooperate. You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes an obligation on a Datacea Party without our prior written consent.

19. Release

To the extent permitted by law, you release the Datacea Parties from claims arising from disputes between you and another user or a Third-Party Service. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which generally limits a release of claims a person does not know or suspect to exist at the time of the release. Residents of other jurisdictions waive comparable protections to the extent permitted by law.

20. Governing law and courts

Ohio law governs these Terms and disputes between you and Datacea, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

You and Datacea consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the state courts located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, or the United States District Court with jurisdiction over Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Either party may bring an eligible claim in a small-claims court that has jurisdiction. Mandatory consumer law in your home jurisdiction continues to apply where it cannot lawfully be waived.

21. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. The date at the top identifies the current version. If a change materially affects account holders’ rights, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email, in the Service, or by another legally sufficient method, and will request affirmative acceptance where required by law. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date.

If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the affected Services and close your account. Changes do not apply retroactively unless applicable law permits and the notice says so.

22. Electronic communications

You consent to receive agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications electronically, including by email, in-product notice, or posting to the Services. Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing, to the extent permitted by law. Keep your account email current. This consent does not authorize marketing messages where separate consent is required.

23. General terms

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any product-specific terms presented to you are the entire agreement between you and Datacea concerning the Services and supersede earlier agreements or statements on that subject. If product-specific terms conflict with these Terms, the product-specific terms control for that product.

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

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control. No failure to enforce a provision is a waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum permissible extent and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Headings are for convenience only. Including means including without limitation. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, fiduciary, franchise, or third-party-beneficiary relationship, except that the Datacea Parties may enforce provisions that expressly protect them.
