Chiplet.US Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 23, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Palo Alto Electron Inc., doing business as Chiplet.US (“Chiplet.US,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of our websites, hosted platform, applications, APIs, support channels, and related services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Service”).

By clicking “I Agree,” creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” refer to that entity as well as the individual user.

1. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Chiplet.US and your use complies with applicable law. The Service is intended for business, professional, and adult users. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including export control or sanctions laws.

2. The Service

Chiplet.US provides a cloud-based platform and related tools for electronic system, chiplet, package, module, and design-related workflows, including collaboration, file storage and sharing, analysis, and integration with supported tools, APIs, partner workflows, or development kits.

We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service at any time. We may also release features labeled alpha, beta, preview, early access, or similar, which may be incomplete and made available on an experimental basis.

3. Accounts and Workspace Administration

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it updated.

You are responsible for:

  • maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials;
  • all activity under your account;
  • promptly notifying us of unauthorized access or suspected security incidents involving your account.

If your account is provided or managed by an employer, customer, or workspace administrator, that party may have rights to manage your account, workspace, access permissions, and Customer Content associated with that workspace.

4. Service Communications

By using the Service, you agree that we may send you service-related and administrative communications, including account verification messages, password resets, workflow notifications, support responses, security alerts, and notices regarding material changes to the Service, these Terms, or our Privacy Policy.

You may opt out of marketing emails if we send them, but you may still receive transactional or service-related communications.

5. Customer Content

5.1 Ownership

As between you and Chiplet.US, you retain ownership of files, designs, models, documents, comments, metadata, and other content you upload, submit, store, generate, or share through the Service (“Customer Content”).

5.2 License to Chiplet.US

You grant Chiplet.US a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, revocable license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, display, and otherwise use Customer Content solely as necessary to:

  • provide, operate, maintain, and support the Service;
  • authenticate access and manage sharing permissions;
  • secure the Service and detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, misuse, malware, or technical issues;
  • back up and recover data;
  • fulfill user-requested workflows, including sharing or transmitting Customer Content to collaborators, workspace administrators, or third-party partners you authorize;
  • comply with law or valid legal process.

This license ends when your Customer Content is deleted from the Service, except to the extent we retain it under our standard backup, legal retention, dispute preservation, or security processes.

5.3 Your Responsibilities for Customer Content

You are solely responsible for Customer Content and for the consequences of uploading, sharing, transmitting, or using it through the Service. You represent and warrant that:

  • you own or control the necessary rights to Customer Content;
  • your Customer Content, and your use of it with the Service, do not violate any law, regulation, contract, intellectual property right, confidentiality obligation, privacy right, or other right of any person or entity;
  • you have obtained all rights, notices, and permissions required for personal information or third-party materials included in Customer Content.

6. Collaboration and User-Requested Partner Workflows

The Service may allow you to share Customer Content with collaborators, workspace members, administrators, or third-party partners.

If you request or enable a workflow involving prototyping, packaging, manufacturing, fulfillment, or similar third-party partner services, you authorize us to transmit the Customer Content and related instructions reasonably necessary to fulfill that request.

You are responsible for reviewing what you choose to share and with whom you share it.

7. AI and Customer Content

We do not use Customer Content to train general-purpose artificial intelligence or machine learning models unless you expressly opt in through a clear written agreement, an explicit in-product control, or another affirmative consent mechanism.

We may use Customer Content to provide features you request, including search, analysis, automation, debugging, support, and other service functionality you choose to use.

8. Confidentiality

We will treat Customer Content as confidential and will not disclose it except:

  • as authorized by you or your workspace administrator;
  • as necessary to operate, secure, maintain, or support the Service;
  • as necessary to fulfill a user-requested partner workflow;
  • as required by law, legal process, or governmental request;
  • as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge that the Service, including its software, architecture, interfaces, and non-public documentation, contains proprietary and confidential information of Chiplet.US. You may not disclose non-public information about the Service except as permitted by these Terms or with our written consent.

9. Acceptable Use

You may not, and may not permit or assist others to:

  • use the Service in violation of law or regulation;
  • infringe, misappropriate, or violate any intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality, or other rights;
  • upload, transmit, or distribute malware, ransomware, spyware, or other malicious code;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or related systems;
  • probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except as expressly authorized in writing;
  • interfere with or disrupt the integrity, availability, or performance of the Service;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decode, or attempt to derive source code, trade secrets, or underlying ideas of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
  • use automated means to scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Service except through permitted APIs or with our written consent;
  • access the Service to build or train a competing product or service;
  • remove, alter, or obscure proprietary notices or security features;
  • use the Service to store or transmit material subject to export restrictions in violation of applicable law.

We may monitor for compliance with these Terms and may remove or restrict access to content or accounts that violate them.

10. File Handling and Security Checks

You acknowledge that we may scan, validate, index, process, quarantine, or block uploaded files and related metadata for security, integrity, abuse prevention, malware detection, content routing, compatibility, and service operation purposes.

You should maintain your own backups of important data. The Service is not a guaranteed archival system.

11. Intellectual Property Rights

The Service, including all software, code, interfaces, workflows, visual elements, documentation, trademarks, branding, and related intellectual property, is owned by Chiplet.US or its licensors and is protected by law.

Except for the limited rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights, title, or interest in or to the Service are transferred to you.

12. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, enhancement requests, or other feedback regarding the Service (“Feedback”), you grant Chiplet.US a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, modify, disclose, reproduce, distribute, and exploit that Feedback for any lawful purpose, without restriction or obligation to you.

13. Third-Party Services and Components

The Service may interoperate with, contain, or link to third-party services, components, or content. Your use of third-party services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. Chiplet.US is not responsible for third-party services that we do not control.

Some downloadable software development kits, firmware, APIs, local tools, or similar materials may be governed by separate license terms. If you download or use those materials, the applicable separate license terms will govern them.

14. No Fees at This Time; Future Paid Features

Unless we expressly state otherwise, the Service is currently offered without in-product payment collection. We may in the future introduce paid plans, paid features, usage limits, or separate commercial terms. If we do, we will provide notice and identify the terms that apply.

15. Suspension and Termination

15.1 By You

You may stop using the Service at any time.

15.2 By Chiplet.US

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, with or without notice, if:

  • you violate these Terms;
  • your use creates a security risk or legal risk;
  • your use may harm the Service, us, or other users;
  • we are required to do so by law or a governmental authority;
  • we discontinue the relevant part of the Service.

15.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections relating to intellectual property, Feedback, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law, dispute resolution, and any accrued rights or obligations.

16. Product-Specific Disclaimers

The Service supports design, collaboration, modeling, and related workflows, but it is not a substitute for your independent engineering judgment, verification, validation, compliance review, design sign-off, manufacturing qualification, legal review, or regulatory approval.

You are solely responsible for:

  • reviewing and validating outputs, files, and workflows;
  • determining fitness for your intended purpose;
  • confirming design, safety, manufacturability, performance, and compliance requirements before tape-out, fabrication, procurement, manufacturing, or deployment.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” CHIPLET.US AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CHIPLET.US DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CUSTOMER CONTENT WILL BE PRESERVED WITHOUT LOSS OR CORRUPTION.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  1. CHIPLET.US AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
  2. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CHIPLET.US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:
    • USD $100; or
    • THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO CHIPLET.US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
  3. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

19. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Chiplet.US and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, licensors, service providers, and agents from and against any third-party claims, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to:

  • your Customer Content;
  • your misuse of the Service;
  • your violation of these Terms;
  • your violation of applicable law;
  • your infringement, misappropriation, or violation of any intellectual property, confidentiality, privacy, or other right of a third party.

We reserve the right to assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and you will cooperate with us in defending it.

20. Export Controls and Sanctions

You may not use, export, re-export, release, or transfer the Service or any related software, technical data, or materials except as authorized by applicable export control, trade, and sanctions laws and regulations. You represent that you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive sanctions, and that you are not a prohibited or restricted party.

21. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

22. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and may provide additional notice. By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms become effective, you agree to the revised Terms.

23. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable order form, written agreement, or separate license terms expressly incorporated by reference, form the entire agreement between you and Chiplet.US regarding the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject matter.

If you or your organization have entered into a separate written agreement with Chiplet.US covering the Service, that agreement will control to the extent of any conflict with these Terms.

24. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. A waiver of any provision or breach will be effective only if in writing and will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or breach.
