Business Name: Polymathics.ai

Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Governing Law: State of Minnesota
Polymathics.ai operates a platform that connects businesses seeking artificial intelligence ("AI") expertise ("Clients") with qualified AI professionals ("Experts"). Our Services include:
Polymathics.ai acts as an intermediary between Clients and Experts. We do not employ Experts, and Experts are independent contractors, not employees of Polymathics.ai.
To access certain features of our Services, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into contracts to create an account.
If you apply to and are accepted as an Expert on our platform, you agree to:
Experts are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and legal compliance. Polymathics.ai takes a platform fee as disclosed at the time of engagement.
As a Client using our platform, you agree to:
Clients retain ownership of their pre-existing intellectual property and data. Work product ownership is determined by the individual engagement agreement.
We offer multiple payment models:
All payments are processed through our secure payment system. Clients authorize Polymathics.ai to collect payments on behalf of Experts. We retain a platform fee from each transaction. Refunds are subject to our Refund Policy.
No Chargebacks Accepted. We do not accept credit card chargebacks. By submitting payment, you acknowledge that all charges are valid and non-refundable except as provided in our Refund Policy.
In the event of a chargeback, you agree to pay a processing fee of $250.00 plus 25% of the chargeback amount, which shall be deemed an earned fee for our services. Chargebacks may result in immediate account suspension and termination of services.
Platform IP: Polymathics.ai retains all rights to the platform, including our website, logo, trademarks, and proprietary technology.
Client IP: Clients retain ownership of their pre-existing intellectual property and data provided to Experts.
Work Product: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, work product created by Experts under an engagement becomes the property of the Client upon full payment.
Expert Portfolio Rights: Experts may display non-confidential work in their portfolio for promotional purposes.
For clarity in engagements involving proprietary methodologies, Polymathics.ai distinguishes between:
Polymathics.ai retains all rights to its Background IP, which includes our proprietary mathematical frameworks, algorithms, code libraries, methodologies, tools, and technical know-how developed prior to or independently of any Client engagement ("Polymathic IP"). Clients are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Background IP solely as necessary to utilize the deliverables provided under the engagement agreement. Background IP remains the exclusive property of Polymathics.ai and may not be reverse-engineered, decompiled, or used to create derivative works without our prior written consent.
Foreground IP refers to any intellectual property, deliverables, work product, inventions, or innovations created specifically for the Client within the scope of an engagement ("Project Deliverables"). Unless otherwise specified in the engagement agreement, Foreground IP transfers to the Client upon full payment, subject to any Background IP incorporated therein.
Key Point: Any reuse of Polymathic methodologies, frameworks, or proprietary techniques by the Client for purposes beyond the original engagement requires a separate licensing agreement with Polymathics.ai.
All parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of proprietary information disclosed during engagements. Confidential information includes:
Confidentiality obligations survive termination of these Terms for a period of three (3) years.
Client agrees that Polymathics.ai may use anonymized metadata and computational logs for the purpose of internal R&D tax compliance and technical auditing, provided that:
This provision does not grant Polymathics.ai any additional rights to use Client intellectual property beyond what is necessary for these compliance purposes.
