Subscription & Billing
Free Plan
Foundaro offers a free tier with limited features. Free accounts are subject to usage caps as described on the Pricing page.
Paid Subscriptions
Paid plans are billed on a recurring monthly or annual basis via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on the applicable billing cycle. All fees are in USD and are non-refundable except as required by law or as described below.
Cancellation & Refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access until then. We do not offer pro-rated refunds for partial billing periods, except at our discretion.
Price Changes
We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice. If you disagree with a price change, you may cancel before the new price takes effect.
Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, code, branding, and AI-generated outputs presented as part of the interface, is owned by Foundaro and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our express written permission.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property to you.
Your Content
You retain full ownership of the ideas, notes, and other content you create in Foundaro ("Your Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display, and process Your Content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you.
We do not claim any ownership rights over Your Content. We will never sell, license, or share Your Content with third parties for commercial purposes without your explicit consent, except as described in our Privacy Policy.
You are solely responsible for Your Content and represent that you have all rights necessary to grant the above license. You agree not to upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or that infringes third-party rights.
When you make an idea public or list it in the community directory, you acknowledge that it will be visible to other users and the general public.
Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your account settings. Upon deletion, your data will be removed within 30 days as described in our Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the violation. In the event of termination, you lose access to the Service and Your Content stored therein.
Sections covering intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination of these Terms.
Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
AI-generated content (competitor research, idea suggestions, feature analysis, killer features, financial projections, pitch decks, go-to-market strategies, and other blueprint documents) is provided for informational purposes only. We make no representations about its accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any business purpose. You should independently verify any AI-generated information before acting on it.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any defects will be corrected.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FOUNDARO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from use of the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Foundaro in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
