Terms of Service

Last updated: March 14, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using IdeaDose at ideadose.dev (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

IdeaDose is an AI-powered startup idea evaluation service. Users submit startup ideas and receive AI-generated evaluations that assess feasibility, market potential, and risks across multiple dimensions. The Service provides a GO, RISKY, or KILL verdict along with supporting evidence and analysis.

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must provide accurate and complete information during registration.

4. Credits & Payments

4.1 Credit System

The Service operates on a credit-based system. Each idea evaluation consumes one (1) credit. New accounts receive a limited number of free credits upon signup. Additional credits can be purchased in packs.

4.2 Credit Packs

Credits are available for purchase in the following packs:

  • Starter (S): 15 credits — $10
  • Growth (M): 40 credits — $22
  • Pro (L): 80 credits — $39

4.3 Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record. By making a purchase, you also agree to Lemon Squeezy's terms of service.

4.4 Refund Policy

You may request a refund within 14 days of purchase, provided that none of the purchased credits have been used. Once any credit from a purchase has been used to initiate an evaluation or generate a blueprint, the entire purchase becomes non-refundable.

To request a refund, contact us at kcdmlry@gmail.com with your order number. Approved refunds will be processed through Lemon Squeezy and returned to your original payment method. Processing times may vary depending on your payment provider.

Credits do not expire and have no cash value. If a refund is issued, all credits from the refunded purchase will be deducted from your account.

EU/EEA Residents: Under EU consumer protection law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal for digital purchases. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that credits are made available for immediate use and consent to waive the right of withdrawal once any credit has been consumed. If no credits have been used, your statutory right of withdrawal remains fully available within the 14-day period.

4.5 No Subscription

Credit packs are one-time purchases. There are no recurring charges, subscriptions, or auto-renewals. You will only be charged when you explicitly purchase a credit pack.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Submit content that is defamatory, obscene, or harmful
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or hack the Service
  • Use automated tools to scrape or extract data from the Service
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
  • Create multiple accounts to abuse free credits
  • Resell or redistribute evaluation results commercially

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of the startup ideas you submit. By submitting an idea, you grant us a limited license to process it through our AI evaluation pipeline solely for the purpose of generating your evaluation results.

6.2 Evaluation Results

Evaluation results generated by the Service are provided for your personal use. You may share your evaluation results, but you may not represent them as professional investment advice or due diligence.

6.3 Our Content

The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, and branding, is owned by IdeaDose and protected by intellectual property laws.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. AI-generated evaluations are for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional business advice, investment advice, or market research.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any evaluation results. Startup success depends on many factors that AI cannot fully assess. You should not rely solely on our evaluations when making business decisions.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IDEADOSE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless IdeaDose from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms or engage in conduct that we determine is harmful to the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Unused credits are forfeited upon account termination for cause.

11. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles.
