Terms of Service

Definitions

• "Service"means Ember, the AI superconnector accessible at heyember.vercel.app.
• "User"means any individual who registers with a valid US or Canadian university email and interacts with Ember via chat.
• "Connection Profile"means the information collected during your conversation with Ember, including interests, academic details, and match preferences.
• "Match"means another User whose Connection Profile aligns with yours and who has mutually opted in to receive introductions.

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

Registration and Account Activation

To register, you provide a valid US or Canadian university email on heyember.vercel.app.

Your account is activated once you complete the initial chat session with Ember to establish your Connection Profile.

Profile Creation and Matching

Ember learns about your interests and goals through chat interactions.

Based on these conversations, Ember builds your Connection Profile to capture who you are and who you want to meet.

Ember then searches for compatible matches on campus using your Connection Profile.

Profile Sharing and Group Chat

When Ember finds a potential Match, it only shares your Profile Information if both you and the other User explicitly approve.

Once approval is given by both parties, Ember sets up a group chat to facilitate introductions.

User Conduct

Users must maintain respectful and appropriate behavior when interacting with Ember and other Users.

Inappropriate conduct—including harassment, hate speech, or attempts to misuse the system—may result in suspension or removal.

AI Processing and Data Usage

Ember uses industry-leading third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI) to process your chat interactions and build your Connection Profile.

Your conversation data and profile details may be stored securely to improve matching accuracy and Service quality.

Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service are the exclusive property of Ember or its licensors.

Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind.

Ember is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email to your registered address or posted on the Service. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
