Terms of Service
Nyad Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 8, 2026 Last Updated: May 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Nyad platform and services
(“Service”) provided by Nyad, Inc. (“Nyad,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Service, you
agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you agree
to these Terms on behalf of that organization and confirm that you have authority to do so.
1. The Service
Nyad provides an AI-powered software platform that delivers biological insights, operational guidance,
and compliance support for wastewater treatment operations (the “Service”). The Service is provided as
a cloud-hosted, subscription-based software application. Nyad may update features, functionality, and
underlying models from time to time, provided that material decreases in functionality will be communicated
with reasonable notice.
2. Your Account
You must provide accurate, complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity occurring under your account.
You agree to notify us promptly at chris@nyad.ai if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your
account or any other breach of security.
3. Permitted Use
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Service
during your subscription term, solely for your internal business operations. You may allow your authorized
employees and contractors (“Users”) to access the Service under your account, and you are responsible
for each User’s compliance with these Terms.
4. Restrictions
You agree not to, and will not permit any User or third party to:
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, or attempt to derive the source
code or underlying models;
• Copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the Service;
• Resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or make the Service available to any third party other than authorized
Users;
• Use the Service to build, train, fine-tune, or evaluate any competing product, model, or service, or for
competitive benchmarking, without Nyad’s prior written consent;
• Use the Service or its outputs to train any machine-learning model or to create any competing dataset;
• Use the Service in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or any related systems, networks, or data;
• Transmit malicious code, viruses, or harmful data through the Service; or
• Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices or labels on or in the Service.
Nyad Terms of Service · Page 1 of 55. Your Data
“Customer Data” means any data you or your Users submit to the Service. You retain all ownership rights
in your Customer Data. You grant Nyad a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide right to access, host, copy,
process, and transmit Customer Data solely to provide, secure, and support the Service for you.
Nyad may generate aggregated or de-identified data derived from Customer Data (“Aggregated Data”)
and may use Aggregated Data to operate, improve, and develop the Service, to train and evaluate models,
and to produce analytics and benchmarks, provided that Aggregated Data does not identify you, any User,
any individual, or any facility, and is not shared in a form that permits re-identification.
Nyad will not share your Customer Data with third parties except as necessary to provide the Service, as
required by law, or with your consent. Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy,
which is incorporated into these Terms. For Customers whose use of the Service involves the processing
of personal data on their behalf, a Data Processing Addendum is available on request and will govern that
processing.
6. AI-Generated Outputs
The Service uses artificial intelligence to provide operational insights and recommendations. These
outputs are intended to assist, not replace, the professional judgment of qualified operators, engineers,
and compliance personnel. Nyad does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any AI-
generated output for any specific situation, facility, process, or regulatory context.
Nyad is not providing engineering, legal, regulatory, or other professional advice. Outputs must be
reviewed by a qualified, licensed wastewater operator or engineer before being relied upon for any
compliance, permitting, discharge, public-health, or safety decision. The Service is not a substitute for
required monitoring, sampling, reporting, or recordkeeping under applicable permits or laws (including
the U.S. Clean Water Act and equivalent state, federal, and international regulations). You are solely
responsible for all decisions and actions taken based on the Service’s outputs.
7. Fees and Payment
You agree to pay the fees set forth in your order or subscription plan. Unless otherwise stated, fees
are quoted in U.S. dollars, are non-refundable, and are due in advance. We may update pricing upon
renewal with at least 60 days’ prior notice. Amounts past due may accrue interest at 1.5% per month or the
maximum rate permitted by law, if lower. You are responsible for any taxes other than Nyad’s income taxes.
8. Term and Termination
These Terms begin when you first access the Service and continue for the duration of your subscription.
Subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods of equal length unless either party provides
written notice of non-renewal at least 30 days before the end of the then-current term.
Either party may terminate these Terms if the other party materially breaches and fails to cure within 30
days of written notice. We may also suspend your access immediately if we reasonably believe your use
of the Service poses a security risk, infringes third-party rights, or violates these Terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. You may request a copy of your Customer Data
within 30 days of termination, after which Nyad may delete it. Upon your written request made within
Nyad Terms of Service · Page 2 of 5that 30-day window, Nyad will delete Customer Data from production systems within 60 days, subject to
backup retention schedules and any applicable legal hold or regulatory preservation requirements.
9. Confidentiality
Each party agrees to keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other party in connection
with the Service (“Confidential Information”). Neither party will use the other party’s Confidential
Information except as needed to fulfill its obligations under these Terms, and each party will protect it with
at least the same care it uses for its own confidential information (and no less than reasonable care). This
obligation does not apply to information that is publicly available through no fault of the receiving party,
is independently developed without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, or is lawfully
received from a third party without a duty of confidentiality. Each party’s confidentiality obligations survive
termination of these Terms for three (3) years, and indefinitely for trade secrets.
9.1 Public Records and Sunshine Laws
Customer acknowledges that Nyad’s AI models, model weights, prompts, training methods, evaluation
metrics, system architecture, security controls, audit logs, and product documentation (collectively, “Nyad
Trade Secrets”) are designated trade secrets and Confidential Information of Nyad, exempt from public
disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
If Customer is a public agency or otherwise becomes subject to a request under any federal, state, or local
public-records, freedom-of-information, sunshine, or open-meetings law (a “Public Records Request”)
that seeks Nyad Trade Secrets or other Nyad Confidential Information, Customer will:
• Promptly notify Nyad in writing before disclosure, with sufficient time for Nyad to respond;
• Reasonably cooperate, at Nyad’s expense, so that Nyad may assert applicable exemptions, request
redactions, or seek a protective order or other appropriate relief; and
• Limit any compelled disclosure to the minimum information legally required.
Any disclosure compelled by law shall not constitute a waiver of confidentiality, trade-secret protection, or
intellectual-property rights.
10. Intellectual Property
Nyad and its licensors own all rights in and to the Service, including all software, algorithms, models,
documentation, and trademarks. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. Any feedback,
suggestions, or ideas you provide about the Service may be used by Nyad without restriction or obligation
to you.
11. Warranties and Disclaimers
Nyad warrants that the Service will perform materially in accordance with its documentation during
your subscription term. If it does not, your sole and exclusive remedy is for Nyad to use commercially
reasonable efforts to correct the issue within a reasonable period; if Nyad is unable to do so, you may
terminate the affected portion of the Service and receive a pro rata refund of prepaid, unused fees.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS.” NYAD
DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NYAD
Nyad Terms of Service · Page 3 of 5DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT IT
WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY
UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO NYAD IN THE TWELVE
(12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
The limitations in this Section reflect an allocation of risk between the parties and will apply even if any
limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. Negotiated enterprise agreements may separately modify
these limits.
13. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Nyad harmless from any third-party claims, losses, or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms;
(b) your Customer Data; or (c) your violation of any applicable law.
Nyad agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold you harmless from any third-party claim that the Service, as
provided by Nyad and used in accordance with these Terms, infringes a valid patent, copyright, or trade
secret, provided that you promptly notify Nyad of the claim, give Nyad sole control of the defense and any
settlement, and provide reasonable cooperation.
If the Service is or may become subject to an infringement claim, Nyad may, at its option: (a) procure the
right for you to continue using the Service; (b) modify the Service so that it is non-infringing while retaining
materially equivalent functionality; or (c) terminate the affected Service and refund any prepaid, unused
fees. Nyad has no obligation for claims arising from your Customer Data, unauthorized modifications, or
use of the Service in combination with anything not provided or approved by Nyad. This Section states
Nyad’s entire liability and your exclusive remedy for any infringement claim.
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Any dispute arising under these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in
Delaware, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its
intellectual property or Confidential Information.
15. General
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with any order form, subscription plan, Data Processing
Addendum, or other document expressly referenced, constitute the entire agreement between you and
Nyad regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same
subject.
Nyad Terms of Service · Page 4 of 5Amendments. We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide
at least 30 days’ advance notice, and, where required by applicable law, will obtain your affirmative
acceptance before the changes take effect. For non-material changes, continued use of the Service after
the changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance (other than payment
obligations) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war,
terrorism, civil unrest, pandemics, labor disputes, utility or internet outages, or governmental action.
Export and Sanctions Compliance. You will comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws,
including those of the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. You represent that
you are not located in, and will not use the Service from, a country or region subject to comprehensive
U.S. sanctions, and that you are not a restricted or prohibited party.
Publicity. Neither party will use the other party’s name, logo, or trademarks in any public materials without
prior written consent, except that Nyad may identify you as a customer by name and logo in customer
lists and on its website, unless you opt out by emailing chris@nyad.ai.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without Nyad’s prior written consent. Nyad may assign
these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue
in full effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make
it enforceable while preserving its original intent.
Waiver. Failure to enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.
Notices. Notices to Nyad should be sent to legal@nyad.ai. Notices to you will be sent to the email address
associated with your account.
Independent Contractors. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any
partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship.
