Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to CELLLS (the "Service"). These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and CELLLS ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation (such as your employer), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and "you" and "User" will refer to that organisation.

1. Definitions

  • "Account" — your registered account for accessing and using the Service.
  • "Credits" — units consumed when the Service processes a cell using AI. Subscription Credits are included with your plan; Top-Up Credits are purchased separately.
  • "Service" — the CELLLS software-as-a-service platform, including all features, functionality, and content provided at cellls.com and through APIs.
  • "Subscription Plan" — the specific pricing plan and feature set you have selected for your Account.
  • "User Content" — any data you upload or create through the Service, including grids, rows, columns, and cell values.

3.5 Termination for false information. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information you provide is inaccurate, false, or incomplete.

4. Subscription Plans, Credits, and Billing

4.1 Plans. Current plan pricing and features are available at cellls.com/#pricing.

4.2 Free trials. We may offer a free trial period for certain Subscription Plans. At the end of the free trial, your Account will automatically convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Top-Up Credits are purchased separately as a one-time payment and do not expire unless your account is inactive for 12 consecutive months. Subscription Credits are consumed before Top-Up Credits. All credit purchases are final and non-refundable. Credits have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred between accounts.
