2. Description of Service
Ada X LLC operates Pathub, an AI-powered patent search, analysis, and drafting platform. The Service enables users to:

- Collaborate with team members on patent-related projects and workflows
- Access patent analytics, visualizations, and insights derived from public patent data
The Service is provided as a tool to assist patent professionals and does not constitute legal advice. AI-generated outputs are provided for informational purposes only and may contain inaccuracies. Users are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and validating all outputs before reliance or submission to any patent office or regulatory body.
3. Account Registration
To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain inaccurate information, are used in violation of these Terms, or remain inactive for an extended period. You may not share your account credentials with any third party or allow multiple individuals to use your account unless your subscription plan explicitly permits multiple users.
