Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using StartupAI. By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and StartupAI LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("StartupAI", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your access to and use of the StartupAI platform and all associated services available at startupai.site and app.startupai.site (collectively, the "Service").

2. The Service

StartupAI is a structured startup validation platform that helps entrepreneurs and consultants turn business ideas into founder briefs, customer-fit analysis, tracked assumptions, and next-step recommendations. The Service uses automated analysis systems to generate outputs based on the data you provide.

Important limitations you should understand:

• StartupAI is a decision-support tool, not a substitute for professional business, legal, financial, or investment advice.
• AI-generated analysis may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. You are solely responsible for your own business decisions.
• StartupAI is an early-stage product under active development. Features, interfaces, and outputs may change as we improve the platform.

3. Accounts and Eligibility

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate.
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials.
• Notify us immediately via our contact form of any unauthorized access or suspected security breach.
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

Eligibility:You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement. Users between 16–17 years of age may only use the Service with verifiable parental or guardian consent.

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, are used for fraudulent purposes, or are associated with abusive or harmful conduct, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the violation.

4. Your Data and Intellectual Property

Ownership:You retain full ownership of all data, content, startup ideas, hypotheses, validation evidence, and other materials you submit to the Service ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership of Your Content.

License to Us: By using the Service, you grant StartupAI LLC a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process, store, and use Your Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service to you. This license does not extend to any other use.

No AI Training: We do not use your project data, startup ideas, or proprietary business information to train AI models. Your competitive information remains yours.

AI-Generated Output:Analysis, recommendations, scores, and other content generated by the Service from your inputs ("Output") is made available to you under a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for your own business purposes. StartupAI LLC retains no ownership claim over Output generated from your project data.

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details on how we collect, process, store, and protect your data.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.
• Submit content that infringes, misappropriates, or violates the intellectual property rights of any third party.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying AI models, algorithms, or proprietary systems powering the Service.
• Use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or crawlers to extract, mirror, or collect data from the Service without our prior written consent.

6. Pricing, Payment, and Billing

Plans: StartupAI offers free and paid subscription plans as described on our Pricing page. All prices are listed in US Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated.

Payment Processing: Paid plans are billed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your selected payment method for the applicable subscription fees. Your payment information is processed and stored by Stripe in accordance with their privacy and security standards.

Automatic Renewal: Paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual, as selected) unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will receive a renewal reminder at least 7 days before any annual subscription renewal. You may cancel at any time through your account settings at app.startupai.site.

Refund Policy: All fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or as explicitly stated in a specific promotional offer. If you believe a charge was made in error, please contact us within 14 days of the charge.

Legacy and Grandfathered Plans:Users who joined under a beta, early access, or lifetime pricing arrangement retain their original pricing. Feature availability for all plans — including legacy plans — is subject to Section 11 (Service Availability). We will provide reasonable advance notice before discontinuing features that are core to a legacy plan.

Taxes: You are responsible for all taxes, duties, levies, or charges imposed by your local jurisdiction in connection with your use of the Service. Where required by law, we may collect and remit applicable taxes through our payment processor.

7. AI-Generated Content

The Service generates analysis, validation scores, experiment recommendations, and strategic guidance using artificial intelligence ("AI Output"). This output is provided on an "as is" basis without warranty of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for any particular purpose.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI Output is generated based on the information you provide and may not reflect all relevant factors or current market conditions.
• AI Output should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any significant business, legal, financial, or strategic decision.
• You should independently verify any data, claims, market assumptions, or recommendations contained in AI Output before acting on them.

You may use AI Output for your own internal business purposes. You may not represent AI Output as the work of a licensed professional advisor without independent professional review and endorsement.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to:

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless StartupAI LLC and its members, officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to:

• Your infringement of any third-party intellectual property or other rights.

Force Majeure: StartupAI LLC shall not be liable for any failure or delay in providing the Service caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including third-party infrastructure failures (including hosting, payment processing, or AI infrastructure providers), natural disasters, pandemics, governmental actions, cyberattacks, or telecommunications failures.

Modifications: We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice before discontinuing core features that are material to your use of the Service.

12. Termination

By You: You may delete your account at any time through your account settings. Upon account deletion, we will remove your personal and project data within 30 days, as described in our Privacy Policy. Certain data may be retained for longer periods where required by applicable law or legitimate business purposes.

By Us: We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately and without liability if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have materially violated these Terms. For less severe violations, we will generally provide notice and an opportunity to remedy the violation before termination.

Survival: Sections 4, 8, 9, 10, 14, and any provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination of these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we will:

• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
• Post the revised Terms at startupai.site/terms.
• Provide notice of material changes by email and/or in-app notification at least 14 days before they take effect.
• For material changes that affect your data processing rights, seek your active consent where required by applicable law, rather than relying on continued use alone.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Informal Resolution: Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us with a written description of your dispute and the relief you seek. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally within 30 days.

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Class Action Waiver: To the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against StartupAI LLC.

Small Claims:Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies under that court's jurisdictional limits.

Equitable Relief: Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.

15. General Provisions

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and StartupAI LLC with respect to the Service.

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Assignment: You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights without restriction.

Relationship of Parties: Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and StartupAI LLC.
