Nightsky Member Terms

Aster AI, Inc.

Effective Date: September 16, 2026

These Member Terms (the "Terms") are the agreement between you ("you," a "Member") and Aster AI, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Aster AI," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your membership in the Nightsky network and your use of our websites, applications, and agents (together, the "Services"). "Aster" on its own means the AI agent that represents you.

The Privacy Policy describes what information we handle and why, and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

By creating an account, accepting an invitation, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. We keep a record of your acceptance.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract. You may not use the Services if you are barred from doing so under applicable sanctions or export control laws.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@asterhq.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization. We may suspend an account we reasonably believe to be compromised. Your account is personal to you and may not be shared or transferred.

3. What Nightsky Does

Nightsky builds a representation of your professional self from your published work, the sources you connect, the material you give us, and your conversations with your Aster, and operates your Aster to speak about you on your behalf. This involves gathering, analyzing, inferring from, storing, and acting on information about you more deeply than a conventional professional network does. We ask for your permission to do this separately from your acceptance of these Terms, and the Privacy Policy describes it in detail.

Your profile is private until you publish it, and you can take it private again at any time.

4. Your Content

4.1 Ownership. "Your Content" means anything you author, upload, submit, connect, dictate, or otherwise provide. You own Your Content. "Retrieved Material" means material about you or your work that we retrieve from public sources, and rights in it stay with whoever holds them.

4.2 Licence. You grant Aster AI a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, analyze, display, and create derivative works from Your Content in connection with operating, providing, and improving the Services.

4.3 Code and private material. Where you connect a repository or upload source code, you grant us permission to read, parse, and analyze it in order to understand and represent your work. We do not use your source code to train our models, and we do not surface material you keep private, whether a private repository, an upload, or anything else you have not made public, to any other member, organization, or agent. Material that is public, whether because you published it elsewhere or because you set it to public on Nightsky, may be shown, quoted, and linked to as part of representing your work.

4.4 Your assurances. You confirm that you have the rights necessary to give us the material you give us and that Your Content does not infringe anyone's rights. Do not provide your employer's or any third party's confidential information, trade secrets, or proprietary source code.

5. What We Own

"Derived Data" means everything we create from, about, or in the course of processing Your Content, Retrieved Material, and your use of the Services, including representations, summaries, assessments, scores, indexes, logs, system improvements, and aggregated or de-identified data. As between you and Aster AI, Aster AI owns all Derived Data and all intellectual property rights in it. You assign to us any rights you might be deemed to hold in Derived Data and waive any moral rights in it so far as the law allows.

Our ownership is of the representation, not of what is represented. Derived Data does not include, and we claim no rights in, any invention, idea, design, algorithm, know-how, work, or other subject matter that you disclose to us or discuss with your Aster, and nothing in these Terms assigns any such thing to us, licenses us to practice or commercialize it, or makes us an inventor or author of it.

The Services, including all software, models, agents, methods, designs, and the Nightsky and Aster marks, are owned by Aster AI. Apart from the limited rights expressly granted here, no rights are granted to you by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation.

6. Your Aster

You appoint your Aster as your limited, revocable, non-exclusive agent for the purpose of representing you within the Services. Within your settings and instructions, it may speak about you and your work to members, organizations, visitors, and other agents, decide what to disclose and what to hold back, and take part in conversations with other agents on your behalf.

Your Aster is an AI system. It can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date, and it may misstate facts about you. What it says is an AI-generated representation and is not a warranty, representation, certification, or binding statement by you or by Aster AI, and no one is entitled to treat it as one. You are responsible for reviewing your representation and correcting it.

You may revoke your Aster's authority at any time. Revocation takes effect going forward and does not undo statements already made. Nothing your Aster does creates an employment, agency, brokerage, or fiduciary relationship between you and Aster AI beyond the limited authorization in this Section.

7. Name, Likeness, and Voice

You grant Aster AI a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use your name, professional biography, and professional likeness, and, where you enable voice features, your voice, to operate the Services and present you within them. We will not use your name or likeness in advertising or marketing outside the Services without your separate written consent. If you enable voice features, we collect voice recordings and may generate voiceprints, and we do so only after you give the separate consent described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Organizations

8.1 Organization pages. If you manage a page for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to represent it and it is bound by these Terms in respect of the page. A page gives the organization no rights beyond publishing about itself. Anything else requires our separate organization agreement.

8.2 Recommendations. We may recommend your profile to organizations on the network, and they may use our recommendations in their own decisions. Aster AI does not make employment decisions. Organizations do, and we require every organization on the network to apply human review before acting on anything we provide. Where the law gives you rights in relation to automated tools used in an employment decision, the organization making the decision is responsible for them.

9. Acceptable Use

You may not, and may not let anyone else:

  1. Scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Services by any means outside the functionality we provide.
  2. Use the Services or their output to build, train, benchmark, or improve any competing product, dataset, model, or service.
  3. Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the workings of any part of the Services.
  4. Attempt to re-identify anyone from de-identified or aggregated data.
  5. Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features, rate limits, or access controls.
  6. Impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation, role, or authority.
  7. Submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringing, or that you lack the rights to submit.
  8. Use the Services in a way that breaks employment, anti-discrimination, fair credit reporting, or consumer protection law.
  9. Use the Services to contact or build a record about anyone who has not joined, other than through the invitation feature we provide.
  10. Resell, sublicense, or give access to the Services to anyone else, or interfere with their integrity or performance.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access, remove content, and cooperate with law enforcement.

10. Deletion

You may delete your account at any time. Deletion takes effect immediately. You stop being a member and are no longer reachable anywhere on Nightsky, and your Aster is retired. We delete what you gave us directly, your conversations with your Aster, and your credentials and connected-source tokens.

We may retain everything else, including material collected from public sources and other members' records of conversations in which you appear.

11. Fees and Third Parties

Membership is free unless we introduce paid member features, which will carry their own pricing terms presented before purchase. The Services rely on third-party providers, for which we are not responsible, and your use of any connected third-party account is governed by that provider's terms.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ASTER AI DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

You acknowledge that output is probabilistic and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or fabricated; that an Aster may misstate facts about the person it represents; that assessments and scores are estimates rather than measurements and are not certifications of ability, qualification, identity, employment history, education, or character; that we do not verify information provided by members, organizations, or third-party sources; and that we do not guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any introduction, opportunity, or outcome will result.

Aster AI is not a consumer reporting agency, the Services are not consumer reports, and the Services may not be used for any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including employment background screening, tenancy, credit, or insurance eligibility.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

ASTER AI'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO ANY MEMBER WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT THAT MEMBER PAID US IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS.

These limits do not apply to a party's indemnification obligations, to breach of Section 9, to a party's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or to any liability that cannot be limited by law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, and in those jurisdictions liability is limited to the minimum extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify Aster AI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents against third-party claims, and resulting damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs including attorneys' fees, arising from your breach of these Terms, from Your Content, including any claim that it infringes a third party's rights or was submitted in breach of a confidentiality or invention assignment obligation, from your violation of law, or from your use of output. We will promptly notify you of any claim, give you control of the defense, and cooperate at your expense. We may participate with our own counsel at our own expense. You may not settle in a way that imposes liability or an admission on us without our consent.

15. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. Before filing anything, send a written notice of dispute to support@asterhq.com describing the claim and the relief you want. The parties will try in good faith to resolve it for sixty (60) days.

Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved informally will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, seated in New York, New York, in English. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. Disputes will be arbitrated only individually. Neither party may bring a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest stays in arbitration.

Your opt-out. You may opt out of this Section 15 by writing to support@asterhq.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, giving your name, account email, and intent to opt out.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or confidential information.

Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it accrues, unless a longer period is required by law.

Costs. Arbitration fees are allocated under the applicable AAA rules. We will pay filing and arbitrator fees to the extent those rules require.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. For anything not subject to arbitration, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in New York County, New York.

17. Changes, Notices, and Other Terms

Changes. We may modify, add to, or discontinue features. We may amend these Terms. For material changes we will give at least thirty (30) days' notice by email or in-product notice before they take effect. Continuing to use the Services after the effective date is acceptance. If you do not accept a material change, stop using the Services and delete your account.

Notices. We may give notice by email to your account address or in-product. You give notice to us at support@asterhq.com and, for formal legal notices, to Aster AI, Inc., 118 E 28th St, New York, NY 10016, Attn: Legal.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all assets.

Everything else. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us on this subject and supersede prior agreements on it. If any provision is unenforceable it is modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest stays in effect. No waiver is effective unless written. The parties are independent. There are no third-party beneficiaries except as stated. Headings are for convenience.
