Terms of Service

1. Who we are

ARCHETYPE (“ARCHETYPE,” “we,” “us”) is a product of [LEGAL ENTITY NAME — confirm exact registered name with counsel/Stripe Atlas filing], a Delaware corporation (“Company”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the ARCHETYPE website and application (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

2. The Service

ARCHETYPE uses artificial intelligence to generate business ideas, plans, code, and projections. All AI-generated content is provided for informational purposes only. It is not professional legal, financial, tax, or investment advice, and you should not rely on it as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. In accordance with applicable law (including California’s AB 853), we disclose that content on this Service is AI-generated.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account and are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials. For your security, sessions may expire after a period of inactivity and require you to sign in again; you may also sign out manually at any time. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

4. Subscriptions, billing, and refunds

Paid plans (currently Pro and Team) are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges until you cancel.

Cancellation: You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you retain access to paid features through that date.

Refunds: Payments are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law (for example, certain consumer protections under California law). We do not pro-rate refunds for mid-cycle cancellations.

Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute instead of contacting us directly may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.

5. Your content and data

You retain ownership of the business plans, ideas, and other output generated for you through the Service. We retain account data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel or your account is terminated, we retain your data for 30 days to allow for reactivation or export, after which it is permanently deleted, except for anonymized or aggregated data that no longer identifies you.

If you are located in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you may have additional rights over your data — see our Privacy Policy. We aim to honor deletion, access, and portability requests within 30 days.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to: (a) engage in or plan illegal activity or fraud; (b) hold out AI-generated content as licensed professional advice (legal, financial, medical, etc.); (c) attempt to circumvent rate limits, security controls, or access controls; or (d) violate the rights of others, including intellectual property rights. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.

7. Disclaimers

The Service and all AI-generated output are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that any business idea, plan, or projection will be commercially successful.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the total amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

9. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of these Terms will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, and you waive any right to participate in a class action. [Confirm final arbitration-clause language and any required consumer carve-outs with counsel before publishing.]

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting an updated version here with a new “Last updated” date, and, where required by law, by additional notice.
