By accessing and using Totii.ai’s application programming interfaces, software, tools, data, documentation, or website (collectively, “Services”), you expressly agree that you have read and agreed to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) as well as all applicable Australian laws and regulations, and any future updates. You also agree that you are 18 years or older and legally able to enter into a binding contract under Australian law.

1. Parties and definitions

1.1. Who we are

Totii.ai is owned and operated by Mr and Mrs Cloud Pty Ltd (ABN 77 613 464 136), an Australian company (“Platform Owner”). The platform is engineered and operated in partnership with Shine Me Pty Limited (ABN 22 688 961 257, ACN 688 961 257), an Australian company specialising in artificial intelligence and cloud solutions (“Technology Partner”).

Throughout these Terms, “Totii”“we”“us”, and “our” refer collectively to Mr and Mrs Cloud Pty Ltd and Shine Me Pty Limited, acting in their respective capacities.

Our registered address is 600 Sneydes Road, Werribee, Victoria 3030, Australia.

1.2. Key definitions

In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise:

  • “Services” means the Totii.ai platform, including the website at totii.ai, the conversational assistant, Ch

  • “Customer” means the person or organisation that subscribes to Totii and configures a deployment. This may be an enterprise, a small-business owner, a community organisation, or an individual.
  • “End User” means any person who interacts with a Totii-powered assistant, whether or not they have an account. This includes employees, clients, community members, students, family recipients, and members of the public.
  • “You” and “your” refer to the Customer, or to the End User, as the context requires. Where you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation.
  • “Your Brain” means the knowledge base you build by uploading documents, data, policies, recordings, and other content to the platform.

Totii.ai retains all right, title, and interest in and does not agree to any transfer of title regarding the Services. If applicable to You, You may authorize your employees, affiliates and contractors to use the Services on your behalf, however, you may not authorize third parties to use the Services, and in every case, you are responsible for your account’s compliance with these Terms, independent of whether or not a party was authorized by You to use the account. You must maintain the security of your account, as applicable, and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account without your permission. You will be responsible for all usage under your account whether or not it is authorized by you.

2. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that:

  • You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Trust & Safety Policy.
  • You are at least 18 years of age, or you are accessing the Services under the supervision of an adult or through a deployment configured by an authorised organisation (such as a school, university, or community group).
  • If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organisation, you have the legal authority to bind that organisation.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Trust & Safety Policy, and any applicable Enterprise Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Totii regarding access to and use of the Services. They supersede all prior agreements, communications, or understandings on this subject.

3. License to Your Content

Totii.ai is a role-based conversational assistant platform. Customers upload their own knowledge, documents, voice, and style to create a private AI-powered assistant — a “superstar colleague” — that can be spoken to through chat, voice, or a cloned avatar. The platform serves four distinct segments:

  • Totii for Enterprises — private company knowledge platforms with role-based access control, serving employees and teams across business units and departments.
  • Totii for Small Business — role-based assistants for professionals (town planners, accountants, consultants, educators, medical practices, and others) to serve clients, automate workflows, and share expertise.
  • Totii for Communities — private community hubs for cultural associations, neighbourhood groups, service clubs, and member organisations, providing events, directories, and community leader access through private conversation.
  • Totii for Individuals — personal legacy platform where individuals capture their stories, wisdom, and voice for family and chosen recipients, in Living Mode (while alive) or Legacy Mode (after death).

The Services include Chat Mode (text-based conversation), Avatar Mode (spoken conversation with a photoreal video avatar), the Brain (private knowledge base), integrations with third-party services, shareable access (URLs and QR codes), conversation summaries, and white-label deployment options.

4. Account registration and security

4.1. Account creation

To access certain Services, you may be required to create an account. You must provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and keep it updated.

4.2. Account security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account, whether or not authorised by you. You must notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

4.3. Authorised users

If you are a Customer, you may authorise your employees, contractors, and affiliates to use the Services on your behalf, subject to these Terms. You are responsible for their compliance with these Terms.

4.4. End Users without accounts

Many End Users interact with Totii-powered assistants without creating an account — for example, students accessing an educational deployment, or community members using a hub. These End Users are bound by the relevant provisions of these Terms and by any additional terms the deploying Customer has communicated to them.

5. Your Content and intellectual property

5.1. You own Your Content

As between you and Totii, you own all rights in Your Content — including everything you upload to Your Brain, all conversation inputs, and all conversation outputs generated by the Services based on your inputs and your knowledge base. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

5.2. Licence you grant us

By using the Services and uploading or generating Your Content, you grant us a limited licence to access, host, cache, store, reproduce, process, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and delivering the Services to you. This licence is:

  • Non-exclusive
  • Royalty-free
  • Limited to the purposes described in this section
  • Terminable — when your account is terminated or your content is deleted, this licence ends (subject to reasonable backup and deletion timelines as described in our Privacy Policy)

5.3. We do not use Your Content to train AI models

We do not use Your Content — including Your Brain, your conversation inputs, your conversation outputs, or your avatar source material — to train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial intelligence or machine learning model, whether ours or any third party’s. All AI model providers used by Totii are contractually bound by the same restriction. This is a non-negotiable commitment.

5.4. Your responsibility for Your Content

You are responsible for Your Content and for ensuring that it does not violate any applicable law, infringe the rights of any third party, or breach these Terms or our Trust & Safety Policy. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, licences, and permissions to upload and use Your Content on the platform.

5.5. Conversation outputs

Conversation outputs are generated by AI based on your inputs and Your Brain. You own the outputs, but you acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated outputs may not be unique. Other customers with similar knowledge bases may receive similar outputs from their independent use of the Services.
  • Outputs may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or hallucinations. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them, sharing them, or acting on them.
  • If you distribute outputs to others, you must comply with applicable laws regarding AI-generated content, including any disclosure requirements.

5.6. Our intellectual property

The Services — including the Totii.ai name, logo, software, code, interface design, documentation, and all underlying technology — are owned by Totii and protected by Australian and international intellectual property law. These Terms do not transfer any ownership of our intellectual property to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works from any part of the Services, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law.

Information should be treated as “Confidential Information” if it is designated as such by Totii.ai or the third party owner or if it should reasonably be considered confidential under the circumstances. When in doubt, information should be treated as Confidential Information.

6. Avatar and voice cloning

6.1. Consent

If you use the Services to create an Avatar of a real person, you must obtain that person’s explicit, written, informed consent before any cloning work begins. The consent must cover the specific use case, scope, and duration of the Avatar deployment. You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining valid consent.

6.2. Totii’s obligations

We create Avatars only on the instruction of the Customer and only where the Customer confirms that valid consent has been obtained. We will not create an Avatar of any person without the Customer’s written confirmation of consent.

6.3. Rights of the depicted person

The person depicted in an Avatar retains the right to:

  • Review and approve the Avatar, voice model, and persona behaviour before it goes live.
  • Request corrections, updates, or modifications at any time.
  • Withdraw consent and request the permanent removal and destruction of their Avatar, voice model, and associated biometric data. Removal requests are actioned within 30 days of receipt.

6.4. Prohibited Avatars

You may not create or use Avatars that:

  • Represent or appear to represent anyone under the age of 18.
  • Depict a person without their valid consent.
  • Display illegal, defamatory, sexually explicit, violent, threatening, hateful, or deceptive imagery.
  • Impersonate real individuals, including public figures, beyond the scope of their written consent.
  • Infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

6.5. Removal requests

Any person depicted in an Avatar may request removal by emailing [email protected]. We will action removal requests within 5 business days.

7. Totii for Individuals — Living Mode and Legacy Mode

7.1. Living Mode

While you are alive, you have full control over your Individual account — including adding, editing, and deleting content, managing privacy tiers (Public, Family, Inner Circle, Secret), inviting and removing recipients, and deleting the account entirely.

7.2. Legacy Mode

You may configure Legacy Mode instructions in your account settings. These instructions govern what happens to your account after your death, including which content remains accessible, which is sealed or destroyed, and who is authorised to manage the account as your designated executor.

We verify evidence of death (such as a death certificate) before engaging Legacy Mode. We do not act on the request of any person unless they are the designated executor you have nominated.

7.3. Account duration

Your Individual account remains active for as long as it is funded and in good standing. In Legacy Mode, the account continues in accordance with your instructions and the applicable subscription or payment arrangement.

7.4. Deletion

You may delete your Individual account at any time. On deletion, all content, voice models, and avatar data are destroyed within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain a limited record.

8. Data protection, privacy, and hosting

8.1. Privacy Policy

Our handling of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to the collection, use, and disclosure practices described in the Privacy Policy.

8.2. Data residency

In its default Australian configuration, all customer data is hosted within Australian data centres. Where a Customer requires a different deployment region, data is hosted in the region the Customer specifies. Data residency details are set out in our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, in the Customer’s Enterprise Agreement.

8.3. No AI model training

As stated in Section 5.3, we do not use Your Content to train AI models. All AI model providers are contractually bound by the same restriction.

8.4. Data processing

Where you are an enterprise, small business, or community Customer, we act as a data processor on your behalf. You are the data controller and are responsible for your own obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where applicable, our data processing is governed by a Data Processing Agreement, which is available on request and forms part of any Enterprise Agreement.

8.5. Sub-processors

We use a limited number of sub-processors to deliver the Services, including cloud infrastructure providers, AI model providers, and our avatar-rendering partner. A current list of sub-processors is available on request. We ensure all sub-processors are bound by confidentiality and security obligations equivalent to those in these Terms.

9. Third-party integrations

Totii supports integrations with third-party services (such as Google Drive, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Calendly, and others) to bring your existing knowledge into Your Brain. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Integrations are opt-in and configured by you.
  • You are responsible for authorising the integration through the third party’s own consent flow (typically OAuth) and for ensuring you have the right to share the relevant data with Totii.
  • We request only the scopes necessary for the feature you have enabled and respect the permissions already in the source system.
  • Each third-party service has its own terms of service and privacy policy, which govern your use of that service. Totii is not responsible for the practices or content of any third-party service.
  • You may revoke any integration at any time, either through Totii or through the third-party service.

10. Acceptable use

You must use the Services in accordance with these Terms, our Trust & Safety Policy, and all applicable Australian laws and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, you must not:

  • Upload, generate, or share any content that is illegal, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, violent, threatening, harassing, hateful, fraudulent, misleading, or otherwise harmful.
  • Use the Services to exploit, abuse, or endanger children, elderly persons, or other vulnerable people.
  • Use the Services to impersonate any person without their written consent.
  • Attempt to override, bypass, or circumvent the AI safety controls, system prompts, content filters, or access controls built into the platform.
  • Use the Services for unsolicited mass messaging, spam, phishing, or any form of fraudulent activity.
  • Use the Services to generate or distribute misinformation, disinformation, or deceptive content, including representing AI-generated content as entirely human-generated where disclosure is required by law.
  • Use the Services for political campaigning or lobbying, except in the context of legitimate civic-education or community-information deployments as described in our Trust & Safety Policy.
  • Copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from any part of the Services.
  • Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access, extract, or interfere with the Services.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services, other users’ accounts, or any connected systems.
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code into the Services.
  • Use the Services to build a competing product or service, or for benchmarking or competitive analysis.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these provisions.

11. Subscription, payment, and fees

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by agreement. If the Australian Consumer Law applies to you, our liability for breach of a consumer guarantee is limited (at our option) to supplying the Services again or paying the cost of having the Services supplied again.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • Neither Totii nor its officers, employees, contractors, or partners will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity — arising from your use of or inability to use the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

  • You breach these Terms, our Privacy Policy, or our Trust & Safety Policy.
  • We reasonably suspect fraudulent, illegal, or harmful activity on your account.

24. No agency or partnership

Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Totii. Neither party has the authority to bind the other.

25. Feedback

We welcome feedback, suggestions, and ideas about the Services. If you provide feedback to us, you agree that we may use it freely to improve the Services without any obligation or compensation to you. Providing feedback does not create any intellectual property rights in the Services on your part.

26. Australian Consumer Law

If you are an Australian consumer, you have rights under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified by these Terms. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify those rights.
