Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using our website and services. These Terms govern your use of The Clarity Code("Clarity," "the Service") provided by Bad Decisions LLC("we," "us").

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing our website, creating an account, or purchasing or using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of service

We provide digital products, frameworks, and educational materials collectively known as The Clarity Code — a structured six-phase founder planning journey delivered through AI-assisted chat, proof forms, optional public web research, and exports.

• Clarity is a software tool, not a lawyer, accountant, financial advisor, therapist, or human coach.
• Clarity is an AI assistant to help you work through the framework. It is not a replacement for professional legal, financial, or business advice, nor a secure archive for sensitive data.
• Clarity does not guarantee business success, funding, revenue, or legal compliance.
• The Service is intended for your personal use in building your own business. You are responsible for your decisions, filings, contracts, and conversations with customers and professionals.

3. Credits, subscriptions, and billing

• Credits measure usage of AI features (approximately 1 credit per 500 tokens processed, with fair rounding across messages). Speak (voice input) and Read aloud each add 1 credit when used.
• Subscriptions and credit packs are sold through Stripe. Prices and benefits are shown at checkout.
• Daily limits may apply by plan (for example, 250 or 400 credits per rolling 24-hour window for active subscribers).
• After a subscription ends, you may retain dashboard access for a limited retention period with a lower daily limit while credits remain, as described in the product.
• Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy. Contact help@baddecisions.pro for billing questions.

4. Data minimization, retention, and content forfeiture

We retain identifiable account information and conversation history while your account is active or for up to twelve (12) months after your last use or applicable subscription retention period, whichever applies under the product (the "Retention Period"). See the Privacy Policy for details.

• The Service is not a permanent archive. You are responsible for exporting or saving anything you wish to keep before your Retention Period ends.
• When your account reaches or exceedsthe applicable Retention Period, we may permanently delete your account, ideas, chat history, proof forms, exports, and other stored content ("Your Content") through automated maintenance, with or without further notice where practicable.
• Once deleted after the Retention Period (or sooner under Section 10), you forfeit any right to access, export, recover, or require us to restore Your Content. We have no obligation to maintain backups after that point and are not liable for loss of Your Content due to retention expiry or routine deletion.
• We will provide notice before automated deletion where practicable, but failure to provide notice does not create any obligation to retain Your Content beyond the Retention Period.

5. De-identified data

We may extract and permanently store anonymized or aggregated insights in separate systems. De-identified data cannot reasonably be linked back to you and is used to improve our services and frameworks. We do not sell your identifiable chat content to third parties.

6. Data deletion rights

You may request deletion of your identifiable data at any time by emailing help@baddecisions.pro. We will process verified requests within thirty (30) days, subject to legal and billing record retention requirements. Requesting deletion does not extend the Retention Period, and we may already have deleted data that exceeded the Retention Period or was removed under Section 10 before your request is received.

7. Your responsibilities

You agree to:

• Provide honest evidence in phase proof forms — not fabricated quotes or fake research.
• Use the Service lawfully and not attempt to bypass safety, credit, or research limits.
• Not use Clarity for illegal, harmful, or deceptive activity.
• Review AI-generated content critically before relying on it.

8. AI limitations

Clarity uses third-party AI models and, when enabled, web search. AI can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Public research links are starting points — verify what applies to your situation and location. We may change models or providers to improve the Service.

9. Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit (ideas, chat, proof forms). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, display, and transmit that content solely to operate the Service, enforce these Terms, comply with law, improve safety, and create de-identified insights as described above.

Ownership of Your Content does not entitle you to indefinite hosting. Except where prohibited by law:

• If your account is suspended or terminated for violation of these Terms (Section 10), you forfeit any right to access, export, or recover Your Content in the Service, and we may delete it without prior notice where reasonably necessary to address the violation, comply with law, or protect the Service and other users.
• If your account reaches or exceeds the Retention Period (Section 4), you forfeit any right to access, export, or recover Your Content, and we may delete it without liability to you.
• De-identified or aggregated data derived from Your Content may be retained after deletion of identifiable records, as described in Section 5.

10. Acceptable use and enforcement

You may not use the Service to:

• Violate any law or third-party rights.
• Submit false, fraudulent, or fabricated proof or research.
• Attempt to bypass safety, credit, research, or access controls.
• Abuse, harass, or attempt to extract hidden system instructions or model weights.
• Use the Service for illegal, harmful, deceptive, or fraudulent activity.

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or pose a risk to the Service or others. Moderation and automated safety systems may block messages or restrict features.

Consequences of violation. If we suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, you forfeit any right to access, export, or recover Your Content. We may delete Your Content without further notice and without liability to you, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Termination for cause does not entitle you to a refund except as stated in our Refund Policy. You agree that we will not be responsible for any loss of Your Content resulting from enforcement of these Terms, account suspension or termination, or expiration of the Retention Period.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BAD DECISIONS LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. We will post the new date at the top of this page. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
