Content
Your content
You may provide input to the Services ("Input"), and receive output from the Services based on the Input ("Output"). Input and Output are collectively "Content." You are responsible for Content, including ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law or these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, and permissions needed to provide Input to our Services.
Ownership of content
As between you and Grow My BnB, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you (a) retain your ownership rights in Input and (b) own the Output. We hereby assign to you all our right, title, and interest, if any, in and to Output.
Similarity of content
Due to the nature of our Services and artificial intelligence generally, output may not be unique and other users may receive similar output from our Services. Our assignment above does not extend to other users' output or any Third Party Output.
Our use of content
We may use Content to provide, maintain, develop, and improve our Services, comply with applicable law, enforce our terms and policies, and keep our Services safe.
Accuracy
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly evolving fields of study. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of our Services may, in some situations, result in Output that does not accurately reflect real people, places, or facts.

- Output may not always be accurate. You should not rely on Output from our Services as a sole source of truth or factual information, or as a substitute for professional advice.
- You must evaluate Output for accuracy and appropriateness for your use case, including using human review as appropriate, before using or sharing Output from the Services.
- You must not use any Output relating to a person for any purpose that could have a legal or material impact on that person, such as making credit, educational, employment, housing, insurance, legal, medical, or other important decisions about them.
- Our Services may provide incomplete, incorrect, or offensive Output that does not represent Grow My BnB's views. If Output references any third party products or services, it doesn't mean the third party endorses or is affiliated with Grow My BnB.
Our IP rights
We and our affiliates own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services.

Some of our Services allow you to purchase paid subscriptions to benefit from enhanced features and functionalities (the "Benefits").

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE THAT GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE LIABILITY AROSE OR ONE HUNDRED BRITISH POUNDS (£100). THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY ONLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

GROW MY BNB'S AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS SECTION.

If you are a business or organisation, to the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our personnel, from and against any costs, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys' fees) from third party claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Services and Content or any violation of these Terms.
Dispute resolution
YOU AND GROW MY BNB AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:
MANDATORY ARBITRATION
You and Grow My BnB agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before these Terms existed (a "Dispute"), through final and binding arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation or of any updates to these arbitration terms within 30 days after the update has taken effect by contacting us at hello@growmybnb.pro. If you opt out of an update, the last set of agreed upon arbitration terms will apply.
Informal dispute resolution
We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before either of us files a claim against the other, we both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally. You agree to do so by sending us notice through email by contact us at hello@growmybnb.pro. We will do so by sending you notice to the email address associated with your account. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of us has the right to initiate arbitration. We also both agree to attend an individual settlement conference if either party requests one during this time. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process.
Arbitration forum
If we are unable to resolve the Dispute, either of us may commence arbitration with Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"). Grow My BnB will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. The activities described in these Terms will be subject to the UK Law and the Arbitration Act 1996 will govern the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration terms and any arbitration.
Arbitration procedures
The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference if possible, but if the arbitrator determines a hearing should be conducted in person, the location will be mutually agreed upon, in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator, unless the batch arbitration process applies. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the UK. Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration ("LCIA Rules"). The number of arbitrators shall be determined by the LCIA Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be London, England. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on all parties. Any settlement offer amounts will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any. The arbitrator has the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute.
Exceptions
This section does not require informal dispute resolution or arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorised use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation.
CLASS AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS
YOU AND GROW MY BNB AGREE THAT DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND MAY NOT BE BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED. ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE. THE PARTIES AGREE TO SEVER AND LITIGATE IN COURT ANY REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AFTER COMPLETING ARBITRATION FOR THE UNDERLYING CLAIM AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS DOES NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM PARTICIPATING IN A CLASS-WIDE SETTLEMENT. YOU AND GROW MY BNB KNOWINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM.
Batch arbitration
If 25 or more claimants represented by the same or similar counsel file demands for arbitration raising substantially similar Disputes within 90 days of each other, then you and Grow My BnB agree that ADR will administer them in batches of up to 50 claimants each ("Batch"), unless there are less than 50 claimants in total or after batching, which will comprise a single Batch. ADR will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing held by videoconference or in a location decided by the arbitrator for each Batch. If any part of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, it will be severed and arbitrated in individual proceedings.
Severability
If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class arbitration, class action, or representative action, this entire dispute resolution section will be unenforceable in its entirety.
General Terms
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms and any attempt to do so will be void. We may assign our rights or obligations under these Terms to any affiliate, subsidiary, or successor in interest of any business associated with our Services.
Changes to these Terms or our Services
We are continuously working to develop and improve our Services. We may update these Terms or our Services accordingly from time to time. For example, we may make changes to these Terms or the Services due to:
- Changes to the law or regulatory requirements.
- Security or safety reasons.
- Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
- Changes we make in the usual course of developing our Services.
- To adapt to new technologies.
We will give you at least 30 days advance notice of changes to these Terms that materially adversely impact you either via email or an in-product notification. All other changes will be effective as soon as we post them to our website. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our Services.
Delay in enforcing these Terms
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. Except as provided in the dispute resolution section above, if any portion of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, that portion will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and it will not affect the enforceability of any other terms.
Trade controls
You must comply with all applicable trade laws, including sanctions and export control laws. Our Services may not be used in or for the benefit of, or exported or re-exported to (a) any U.S. or UK embargoed country or territory or (b) any individual or entity with whom dealings are prohibited or restricted under applicable trade laws. Our Services may not be used for any end use prohibited by applicable trade laws, and your Input may not include material or information that requires a government license for release or export.
Entire agreement
These Terms contain the entire agreement between you and Grow My BnB regarding the Services and, other than any Service-specific terms, supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and Grow My BnB.
Governing law
UK law will govern these Terms except for its conflicts of laws principles. Except as provided in the dispute resolution section above, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the courts of the UK.
