Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. The Services

FounderDash helps you develop a business idea — producing an instant scored read (a “Quick Take”), suggesting alternative directions, and generating a structured, research-grounded business report. We may add, change, or remove features over time.

3. Your account

Sign-in is passwordless: you sign in with a one-time email link or with Google. You are responsible for the email account and any Google account you use to sign in, and for all activity under your account. Keep your sign-in email secure, and contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

4. AI-generated content — not professional advice

The Quick Takes, reports, figures, market estimates, and other outputs the Services generate are produced by automated AI systems using your inputs and web research. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.

Outputs are provided for informational purposes only and are not professional, legal, financial, tax, accounting, or investment advice, and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. You are responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it or making decisions. Your use of the outputs is at your own risk.

You must not submit content you are not authorized to share, and you must not rely on the Services for outcomes where errors could cause harm without independent professional review.

5. Plans and payment

The Services offer a free tier and paid options. Current paid options are a one-time report unlock ($39) for a single idea’s full report, and FounderDash Pro ($29/month), which includes a monthly allowance of full reports and section regenerations across your ideas. Features and usage limits are described in the app and may change.

Payments are processed by Stripe. By purchasing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the amounts due, including applicable taxes. Prices are in U.S. dollars unless stated otherwise.

6. Subscriptions, renewals, and refunds

Auto-renewal

Pro is a subscription that renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, until you cancel. Monthly usage allowances reset each billing period and do not roll over.

Cancellation

You can cancel anytime from Settings → Billing (the Stripe billing portal). When you cancel, your Pro access continues until the end of the current paid period, and you will not be charged again.

Refunds

Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial subscription periods, and one-time report unlocks are non-refundable once the report has been generated. We may, at our discretion, offer a refund or credit in individual cases.

Price changes

We may change our prices or plan features. For subscriptions, we will give you advance notice, and changes take effect on your next renewal. Your continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the new price.

7. Your content

You retain ownership of the ideas, descriptions, notes, and other content you submit (“Your Content”). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Services to you — including sending it to our AI and infrastructure providers to generate outputs (see our Privacy Policy).

You represent that you have the rights to submit Your Content and that it does not infringe others’ rights or violate any law. You are responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own copies.

As between you and us, you own the reports and outputs generated for you from Your Content, subject to our and our providers’ rights in the underlying Services and models. Because AI can produce similar outputs for different users, outputs may not be unique to you.

8. Our intellectual property

The Services — including our software, design, branding, and content we provide — are owned by APPEMOUT, INC and our licensors and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works from the Services except as permitted by law.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Services in violation of any law or third-party rights;
• submit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content, or others’ confidential information without authorization;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the Services or their systems;
• probe, scan, scrape, or use bots or automated means to access the Services except as we expressly permit;
• circumvent usage limits, access controls, or payment;
• misuse AI features to generate unlawful, deceptive, or abusive content; or
• resell or provide the Services to third parties without our written permission.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk.

10. Third-party services

The Services rely on third parties (including Stripe, Google sign-in, and our AI and infrastructure providers) and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for third-party services or content, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Disclaimers

The Services and all outputs are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any output will be accurate, complete, reliable, or suitable for your purposes. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, APPEMOUT, INC and its officers, employees, and providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Services or any output — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless APPEMOUT, INC and its providers from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Services, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users. On termination, your right to use the Services ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as content licenses, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will continue to apply.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute not subject to other agreed resolution will be the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us at support@founderdash.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally in good faith.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
