Legal
Terms & Conditions
The rules for using albena.ai and Albena early access.
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Omar Huertas LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”). They govern your use of our website at albena.ai and of Albena, our AI home-assistant product, including waitlist and early-access participation (together, the “Services”). By using the Services you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2. Early access and pre-release status
Albena is pre-release software. Early-access features may be incomplete, change or be removed without notice, and may contain errors or interruptions. Access is by invitation, is not guaranteed, and may be limited, suspended or ended at any time. Early access is offered free of charge unless we tell you otherwise in writing, and no fees will be charged without your clear agreement. Do not rely on Albena for anything safety-critical.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the Services. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you give us, for activity under your access, and for the devices and accounts you connect to Albena. You must have the right to connect those devices and accounts.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) break the law or violate others’ rights through the Services; (b) use Albena to surveil, harass or record people without any legally required notice or consent; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access, probe, disrupt or reverse engineer the Services; (d) scrape or copy website content at scale; (e) upload malicious code; (f) use Albena for emergency response, medical, or other safety-critical purposes; or (g) resell or provide the Services to third parties without our written permission. We may suspend access for violations.
5. AI output and no professional advice
Albena uses artificial intelligence, which can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Responses, summaries, drafts and suggestions may contain mistakes. Output is for general information and convenience and is not legal, medical, financial, tax, security or other professional advice. Verify anything important before relying on it.
6. Your approval of actions
Albena is designed to ask for your approval before taking meaningful actions, such as sending a message, changing a device or making a purchase. You are responsible for the approvals you give and for reviewing what you approve. Voice commands may be misheard, and anyone who can speak to or access your devices may be able to give instructions. You are responsible for configuring and securing your home and devices.
7. Third-party services and devices
Albena can connect to services and devices you choose, such as calendar, email and smart-home products. Those are governed by their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them or for their availability. Connecting or disconnecting them is your choice.
8. Intellectual property
The Services, including Albena software, website content, branding and designs, are owned by Omar Huertas LLC or its licensors and are protected by law. During early access we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Albena for personal, non-commercial purposes. You keep ownership of your own data and content. You grant us only the permission needed to operate the Services for you. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.
9. Privacy
How we handle personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that Albena will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or that it will always act as you intend.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, we and our owners, members and personnel are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill or property damage, arising from the Services. Our total aggregate liability for all claims is limited to USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms or law, or content or devices you connect to Albena.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time and ask us to delete your data. We may suspend or end access at any time, including for violations of these Terms. Provisions that by nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, governing law) survive termination.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. We will first try to resolve disputes in good faith. Unresolved disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in North Carolina, unless we agree in writing to binding arbitration. To the extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as Albena evolves. We will change the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, try to notify waitlist and early-access members by email. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
