Last updated: March 10, 2026

Sit or Start AI | Effective Date: March 10, 2026 | Last Updated: March 10, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Sit or Start AI ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of Nuvela.ai and any related services, content, and functionality (collectively, the "Service").

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By creating an account, accessing, or using Nuvela.ai, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

IMPORTANT: Nuvela.ai is a statistical research and analysis tool. It does not provide betting advice, recommendations, picks, or guaranteed outcomes. Nothing on this platform constitutes a recommendation to place any wager. You are solely responsible for your own decisions.

1. Eligibility

To access and use the Service, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
  • Not be barred from using the Service under applicable law
  • Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including those governing sports wagering and sports data research tools

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to terminate or restrict access for any user who does not meet these requirements.

2. Account Registration and Security

2.1 Guest Access (No Account Required)

You may access a limited number of research queries on Nuvela.ai without creating an account ("Guest Access"). Guest Access is provided at our discretion and may be modified or discontinued at any time. The number of queries available under Guest Access is subject to change without notice.

Guest Access is subject to these Terms in full. By using the Service without an account, you agree to be bound by these Terms to the same extent as registered users. Guest usage is tracked by device and browser identifiers to enforce usage limits; attempting to circumvent Guest Access limits (e.g., by clearing cookies, using multiple browsers, or using automated tools) is prohibited.

2.2 Account Creation

To access the full functionality of the Service beyond the Guest Access limit, you must register for an account. When registering, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Keep your account credentials confidential
  • Notify us immediately at accounts@sitorstart.ai of any unauthorized access to or use of your account

2.3 Account Responsibility

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account. You may not share, transfer, or sell your account access to any third party.

2.4 One Account Per User

You may maintain only one account per individual. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage restrictions, access Guest Access benefits more than once, or for any other reason is prohibited and may result in termination of all associated accounts.

3. The Service — Scope and Limitations

3.1 What Nuvela.ai Is

Nuvela.ai is a sports research augmentation tool designed to help users analyze statistical data, understand market assumptions embedded in prop lines, and conduct their own independent research. The Service provides:

  • Statistical context and historical player performance data
  • Market assumption analysis (what a given line mathematically implies)
  • Analytical framing to support independent research and decision-making
  • Data visualizations and trend summaries

3.2 What Nuvela.ai Is Not

The Service does not provide betting advice, recommendations, picks, guaranteed outcomes, confidence levels, or any form of financial advice. We are not a licensed gambling operator, sports book, or financial advisor.

Specifically, Nuvela.ai does not:

  • Tell you what to bet or recommend specific wagers
  • Guarantee outcomes or predict results with certainty
  • Facilitate, process, or record wagers of any kind
  • Provide real-time odds or lines as the basis for recommendations
  • Promise positive expected value on any bet
  • Replace independent research, professional advice, or your own judgment

3.3 Data Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate and timely data, we do not warrant that any statistical information, data, or analysis provided through the Service is complete, accurate, current, or free of errors. Sports data is inherently dynamic. Injury reports, lineups, and other variables change rapidly. You should independently verify critical information before making any decision.

When data is unavailable or stale, the Service will indicate this clearly. We do not fabricate or estimate data to fill gaps.

4. Acceptable Use

4.1 Permitted Use

You may use the Service solely for your own personal, non-commercial research and informational purposes, subject to these Terms.

4.2 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service to provide betting picks, tips, or recommendations to third parties for compensation
  • Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Service using automated tools without our express written consent
  • Reproduce, distribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit any content, data, or analysis from the Service
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our systems
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or its related systems
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other malicious code
  • Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm any person
  • Violate any applicable law or regulation in connection with your use of the Service
  • Circumvent any technical measures we use to restrict access or enforce these Terms

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate termination of your account and, where applicable, legal action.

5. Subscriptions, Fees, and Payment

5.1 Subscription Plans

The Service may be offered on a free or paid subscription basis. Paid subscription details, including pricing and features included at each tier, are described at nuvela.ai/pricing. We reserve the right to modify pricing or plan features at any time with reasonable prior notice.

5.2 Billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). By providing payment information, you authorize us (or our payment processor) to charge your payment method for the applicable fees on the billing cycle.

5.3 Guest Access and Free Trials

As described in Section 2.1, you may use a limited number of research queries before registering. This Guest Access is a courtesy feature and does not constitute a formal free trial or create any entitlement to continued free access.

We may separately offer formal free trials of paid subscription tiers at our discretion. At the end of a free trial period, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan unless you cancel before the trial ends. We will notify you before your trial converts.

5.4 Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting accounts@sitorstart.ai. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access through that date. We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law.

5.5 Taxes

You are responsible for all applicable taxes associated with your subscription. Fees do not include taxes unless explicitly stated. We may collect applicable taxes where required by law.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our Intellectual Property

The Service and all content, features, and functionality — including but not limited to software, text, graphics, logos, data compilations, analytical models, user interfaces, and design — are owned by Sit or Start AI or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any ownership interest in the Service.

6.2 Limited License

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial research purposes. This license does not include the right to:

  • Reproduce, modify, or create derivative works based on the Service or its content
  • Distribute, publicly display, or commercially exploit Service content
  • Use any data mining, scraping, or similar data gathering tools on the Service

6.3 Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, incorporate, and exploit that Feedback in any manner for any purpose without compensation or attribution to you.

6.4 Third-Party Data

Certain data available through the Service is sourced from third-party providers. Your use of such data is subject to those providers' terms in addition to these Terms. We do not warrant that third-party data is free of intellectual property restrictions.

7. Disclaimers

7.1 No Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

7.3 Sports Betting Disclaimer

Sports wagering involves substantial risk of financial loss. Statistical analysis and research tools cannot predict outcomes with certainty. Past performance of any player, team, or market does not guarantee future results. Nothing provided through the Service should be construed as a promise or guarantee of any kind regarding wagering outcomes.

You acknowledge that you access and use the Service at your own risk and that you are solely responsible for all decisions you make based on information obtained through the Service.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SIT OR START AI AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities
  • Financial losses arising from wagering decisions, whether or not based on information from the Service
  • Damages resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of your data
  • Any other damages arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sit or Start AI and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your access to or use of the Service
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
  • Any wagering decisions or financial losses you incur
  • Any content or information you submit through the Service

We reserve the right to assume exclusive control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

10. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

10.1 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

10.2 Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at accounts@sitorstart.ai to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will use good-faith efforts to resolve the dispute within 30 days.

10.3 Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in court. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, in the State of Delaware or via videoconference.

10.4 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND SIT OR START AI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If this waiver is found unenforceable, then the arbitration provision shall be null and void.

10.5 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including to protect intellectual property rights.

11. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

11.2 Terms Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by email or in-Service notice. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

12. Termination

13. Compliance with Gambling Laws

Sports wagering is regulated at the federal, state, and local level, and laws vary significantly by jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of the Service and any wagering decisions you make are lawful in your jurisdiction.

Sit or Start AI does not represent or warrant that the Service is legal to access or use in your jurisdiction. We make no representations regarding the legality of sports wagering research tools in any specific location. You access the Service at your own legal risk and agree to comply with all applicable laws.

We reserve the right to restrict access to the Service in certain jurisdictions where we determine that doing so is required by law or advisable as a matter of compliance policy.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms applicable to specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sit or Start AI regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

14.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

14.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Sit or Start AI.

14.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
