Terms of Service
SigmaMind AI
(Operated by Neo Trade, Inc., a Delaware corporation)
Effective Date: May 1, 2023 Terms of Service
Last Updated: September 17, 2025
Please read these Terms of Service (these “Terms”) carefully, as they constitute a legally binding agreement between NEO TRADE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“SigmaMind AI,” “we,” “us” or “our”) and an end-user and any employees, agents, contractors and any other entity on whose behalf the end-user accepts these terms (collectively, “you” and “your”) and apply to your use of our website and Services (as defined below). In case you are utilizing the Services as a representative of a party (e.g. your employer or customer, collectively the “Client”), your acceptance of these Terms also binds the Client.
This is a binding agreement. If you use the Services or click accept or agree to these Terms if presented to you in a user interface for the Services, or you have signed a subscription agreement that serves as a master agreement, you are legally bound by the obligations in these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a Client, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Client to these Terms, and any reference to “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that party. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you shall not use the Service and you should not set up an Account (as defined).
By agreeing to these Terms, you expressly agree that except for limited circumstances, the parties will only resolve disputes by arbitration, solely on an individual basis.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
You hereby agree to accept these Terms by opening an account under a username, notwithstanding any existing services agreement to which you may also be signatory which incorporated these Terms by reference.
You also agree to abide by other SigmaMind AI rules and policies, including our Privacy Policy (which explains what information we collect from you and how we protect it) that are expressly incorporated into and are a part of these Terms. Please read them carefully.
Once you accept these Terms you are bound by them until they are terminated. See Section 7 (Term and Termination).
2. Using the Services
a. Right to Use and License
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SigmaMind AI hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, and revocable (i) right to use the Services and (ii) where applicable in cases of on premise installations, license to object code that is installed in your Systems (where "Systems" means computing machine running code, whether on your premise or on a 3rd party's cloud platform), solely for the purposes of utilizing the Service to deploy AI conversational agents and solely in the manner described in these Terms and in any technical documentation contained in, or provided with, the Services.
You acknowledge and agree that you are only being granted a right to use the Services and nothing is being sold to you. You do not acquire any ownership interest in the Services under these Terms, or any other rights thereto, other than to use the Service in accordance with the use rights specified and other terms, conditions, and restrictions of these Terms. We reserve all other rights that are not granted in these Terms.
See Section 4 for more details on your use and Intellectual Property Rights (as defined) under these Terms.
b. What We Provide
The Services include but are not limited to a hosted software solution ("Platform") that allows you to create voice, chat, email, text and social media agents that can interact with your customers and stakeholders and respond to queries by such individuals in the most realistic manner possible.
Our Platform (think of it as an orchestration layer over three modules that are provided by various suppliers as well as a collection of tools, including a web dashboard ("Dashboard")), that allows you to, either via our API or via the Dashboard, utilize a transcribing service module and intake or record stakeholder speech (usually on your device), followed by the transcription of the speech to text (either on your device or in a cloud server), and then the processing of the text on a trained large language model ("LLM" or "AI Model") to generate responses, and then the conversion of text to speech to be delivered to the stakeholder (using the voice module) (the Platform and additional value adds, such as phone numbers that connect to our Platform, but excluding Providers' offering, collectively, the "Services").
Our Platform stitches together the various modules' individual steps to provide a smooth and responsive conversation, which is notable not only for being latency-optimized, but also for being realistic, as our custom models create a conversational experience that feels human, utilizing tools with respect to managing endpointing, interruptions, filtering of background noise and voice, and more. For more details see How SigmaMind AI Works on our website.
c. Third-Parties
Our control layer interacts with our third-party service providers (our "Providers") as part of Services or parties that you wish to utilize. We expect our Providers list to grow with time. You understand and agree that when you use the various aspects of the Services (i.e. the transcription (i.e. through providers such as Deepgram), the LLM processing (we support any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including Azure OpenAI, or your own custom LLM) and our voice generation (all voice providers are supported)), we will be sharing Your Content (as defined) with each Provider, subject to each Provider's individual terms and conditions. We do not make any representation and warranties on any Provider's behalf, nor are we an agent of any such Provider. We principally provide you a control layer to obtain the best experience possible for AI-enabled conversational agents using each such Provider's capabilities.
Our Services are very flexible and our Platform allows you to conveniently customize which third parties you would like to use as part of the Services (whether our Providers or your own, including your own AI Models). If you have existing accounts with any of our Providers, you can bring your own API keys to SigmaMind AI. Once your API key is validated, you won't be charged when using that provider through SigmaMind AI. Instead, you'll be charged directly by the provider. The fees we charge you bundles in the usage fee from each of our Providers on a per use basis and our fee will be modified accordingly. Enterprise customers shall be subject to custom pricing schemes. For more details on customization and other details on our Service, check out our collection of Documents which will assist you in leveraging our Services efficiently.
You will in certain instances, need to have separate subscriptions with our Providers. For instance, if you would like to utilize the benefits of certain voice generation module providers (e.g. ElevenLabs, PlayHT, Rime Labs etc.) you will need to subscribe to an API plan that suits your needs with the respective Provider, as further described in our documentation on our website.
d. Use Restrictions
We want developers and businesses to build confidently on SigmaMind platform. To keep our platform safe, fair, and legally compliant, there are a few boundaries you must respect.

b. AI-Generated Content
To the extent the Services generate content (including text, audio, images, transcripts, or other outputs) in response to inputs you provide (“AI-Generated Content”), SigmaMind AI assigns to you all rights, title, and interest in such AI-Generated Content. You may use, reproduce, and sublicense AI-Generated Content for your internal business purposes and customer-facing uses, subject to these Terms. SigmaMind AI retains ownership of the underlying proprietary models, model weights, and platform technology. SigmaMind AI will not use AI-Generated Content to train its models without your express, prior opt-in consent.
c. Rights You Grant Us
You hereby grant SigmaMind AI a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, process, and transmit ("Handle") Your Content during the Term. This license to Handle is solely for the purpose of us and our Providers providing you the Services.
The specific information you permit us to Handle is determined by customizable settings that are in your control. If You do not opt-out of recording, You give SigmaMind AI permission to record calls or messages made or received using the Service and process communication data (“Communications”) solely for the purpose of providing the Services to You, including features such as call playback, message history, transcription, and analytics that You enable. Before being used for any permitted purposes, the data will be de-identified and aggregated using commercially reasonable industry-standard technologies. Nothing in this section shall lessen or restrict Your obligations under applicable laws, as described in Section 2. SigmaMind AI shall implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect recorded data and shall notify Customer without undue delay in the event of a data breach affecting Customer Data.
SigmaMind AI will not use Your Content, including audio data, transcripts, or other call data, for the purpose of training any SigmaMind AI or third-party models unless you have provided your express, prior opt-in consent through your account settings or a separate written agreement. By default, all developer data is excluded from model training, regardless of HIPAA settings.
You may also configure persistence and training settings in your Account or via API flags. When these settings are disabled, SigmaMind AI will not persist call logs, transcripts, or recordings, and will not use Your Content for model training. When enabled, SigmaMind AI may retain and use such data solely as described in these Terms. You are responsible for enabling HIPAA- or PCI-compliant modes where applicable.
We do not utilize Your Content to obtain any customer specific intelligence. Our scope of use of data in all instances is only for purposes of enhancing call features, latency and the performance of your AI conversational agents, and does not in any way relate to capturing and using personal information of any caller or any information/inputs of a caller in respect of your business or the caller.
You agree that submission of any ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals to SigmaMind AI ("Feedback") is at your own risk and that SigmaMind AI has no obligations (including without limitation obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback. You hereby grant to SigmaMind AI a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable and transferable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all Feedback for any purpose.

e. Rights Granted to Third Parties
Providers that deliver part of our Services, whether pursuant to a contract directly with you or though us, require rights to Handle Your Content as applicable to the service they provide. Each Provider has its own contractual terms that apply. Please review the specific terms of service or equivalent agreement which apply to the Provider that you elect to utilize in respect of each of the Service module for transcription, LLM, and voice generation. While we expect each Provider to comport to industry norms and comply with their privacy policies and the license and rights granted to them under terms agreed upon with you, we do not monitor nor make any guarantees or warranties in respect of their compliance with their contractual and legal obligations.

12. Limitation of Liability
a. Disclaimer of Certain Damages
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL A PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR DATA, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES OR COSTS DUE TO LOSS OF PRODUCTION OR USE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WILL NOT BE LIABLE BEYOND THE GREATER OF (i) $100 USD, (ii) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE ACTIVITY GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS REGARDING DAMAGES APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMPENSATION.
SOME COUNTRIES, STATES, PROVINCES, OR OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AS STATED IN THIS SECTION, SO THE TERMS HEREIN MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO YOU.
13. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law
a. Informal Resolution
Before filing any claim against SigmaMind AI, you agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by notifying legal@sigmamind.ai. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within sixty (60) days. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may initiate arbitration as described below.
b. Agreement to Arbitrate
Except as set forth in Section 12(d), you and SigmaMind AI agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
c. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, selected in accordance with AAA rules. The arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless we both agree otherwise, and shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement.
- Costs: Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs. AAA filing and administrative fees will be allocated in accordance with the AAA rules, provided that SigmaMind shall ensure you do not pay more than the amount you would pay to file the same claim in a state or federal court in Delaware.
- Confidentiality: All aspects of the arbitration, including its existence, content, documents exchanged, and any award, shall be strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed by either party except as required by law or to enforce an arbitral award.
d. Exceptions
Either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim is within the jurisdiction of that court; or (ii) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Delaware to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights.
e. Class and Mass Action Waiver
You and SigmaMind agree that all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, consolidated, or mass arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, nor preside over any form of a representative or mass proceeding.
f. Time Limitation
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrued; otherwise, such claim is permanently barred.
g. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, the state and federal courts located in Delaware shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any permitted court proceedings.
Jury Trial Waiver. If any claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, both parties knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to a jury trial.
14. International Use
The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to features and services that are not available in your country. SigmaMind AI makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local laws. If you are using the Services and are not in the United States, you agree that the location for dispute resolution is acceptable to you and that you will not challenge the forum as being inconvenient for you.
15. Severability, Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
16. Export Control
You may not use, export, import, or transfer the Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoed countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department's list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce's Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by SigmaMind AI are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States.
