Terms of Use
Thank you for using Idea Maker. These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Idea Maker covering the Idea Maker mobile app, our website and everything we offer through them (together, the Services). By creating an account or using the Services you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Who may use Idea Maker
You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live. If you are under 18 you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or guardian. You may not use the Services if we have previously closed your account for a breach of these Terms.
2. Your account
- Give us accurate information when you sign up, and keep it current.
- Your account is yours alone. Keep your credentials to yourself, and tell us promptly if you believe someone else has access to it.
- You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account.
- You can delete your account at any time from the app.
- Usernames. Your @username is not your property. We may reclaim or change it where there is a good reason — for example if it impersonates someone, infringes a trademark or someone else's rights, misleads people, breaks these Terms, or has sat on an inactive account for a long time. Where we can, we tell you first.
3. Your content
What you make stays yours. You keep ownership of the posts, images, videos, prompts, templates, listings, messages and other material you create or upload (your Content).
To run the Services we need permission to handle it: you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for formatting and display purposes, and transmit your Content, solely so we can operate, secure and improve the Services and show your Content to the people you have chosen to show it to. This licence ends when you delete the Content, except for copies retained in backups for a limited period or where we must keep a record by law.
You are responsible for your Content. By posting it you confirm you have the rights to do so and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
Buying someone else's prompt or template. A purchase gives you a personal licence to use it — to run it and to use what it produces. It does not give you the right to resell, republish, share or relist the prompt or template itself, in whole or in a lightly changed form, unless its author has agreed to that in writing. We remove listings that do, and may suspend the accounts behind them.
4. AI features
Idea Maker gives you access to AI models — some running on our servers or through third-party providers, and some running entirely on your device. A few things you should know:
- Output is generated, not verified. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or offensive. Do not rely on it as professional, legal, medical or financial advice, and check anything that matters before you act on it.
- Your prompts. When you use a hosted model, your prompt and any files you attach are sent to that model's provider so it can answer. When you use an on-device model, that content stays on your device.
- Output ownership. As between you and us, you own the output generated from your prompts, to the extent it can be owned. Similar or identical output may be generated for other users, and we make no claim that output is unique or protectable.
- Your responsibility. If you publish or sell AI output, you are responsible for it — including for saying it is AI-generated where the law or the platform requires it.
Calls the AI makes for you
When you ask the AI to phone someone, it calls on your behalf and, if you have verified one, from your phone number. You are the caller, and you are responsible for the call. By starting one you confirm that you have the right to call that person for that purpose, and that the call is lawful where you and they are.
- Do not use it for telemarketing, sales or political calls, robocalls, calls to many people, debt collection, harassment, threats, impersonation or fraud, and never to call emergency services.
- The AI says at the start that it is an AI assistant calling for you, and that the call may be recorded and transcribed. The transcript is saved to your chat.
- We may end a call, limit how you use calling, or remove access to it if a call breaks these rules or we receive complaints.
5. Acceptable use
Do not use the Services to:
- break the law, or help anyone else do so;
- post material that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit involving minors, or that promotes violence or self-harm;
- infringe copyright, trade marks, privacy or any other right;
- impersonate a person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation;
- generate or distribute sexual imagery of a real person without their consent, or deceptive media of a real person presented as genuine;
- develop weapons, malware, or anything designed to cause serious harm;
- scrape, mine, resell or bulk-extract the Services, or use them to train a competing model;
- probe, overload or interfere with the Services or the accounts of others.
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We may remove Content and suspend or close accounts that breach these rules, without notice.
Reporting and blocking
Every post, comment, direct message and profile has a Report option. Reports go to our moderators immediately; we review them within 24 hours and remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules. Content reported by several people may be removed automatically while it is reviewed.
You can Block anyone from their profile, a post, a comment or a conversation. Once blocked, neither of you sees the other's posts or comments, neither can message or follow the other, and they are not told. You can unblock them from Settings › Blocked accounts.
Text that contains slurs, threats or sexual content involving minors is refused before it is posted. To report something urgent, or to appeal a decision, write to support@ideamaker.ai.
6. Buying, selling and payments
Idea Maker lets creators sell prompts, templates, digital goods and physical items (makes), and lets buyers pay for them. A sale is a contract between the seller and the buyer; Idea Maker is not a party to it, but we hold the payment, take our fee, and help when something goes wrong.
- Sellers are responsible for describing what they sell accurately, delivering it, and meeting the tax and consumer-law obligations that apply to them. Where we cannot collect the sales tax on your sales for you, the Seller Tax Responsibility mandate sets out what that leaves with you, and we ask you to accept it before you list.
- Buyers pay the price shown at checkout, plus any tax and shipping shown before you confirm.
- Our fee. On each sale, our payment processor first takes its processing fee; we then keep 15% of what remains, and the seller receives the rest. This applies to prompts, templates, makes and tips alike. If you buy through the App Store or Google Play, Apple or Google take their own fee first.
- Payouts. A seller's earnings are held for 35 days after the sale, so a buyer has time to raise a problem, and are then released automatically. If a buyer opens a dispute, the amount in question is set aside until it is settled. Payouts go to the account you connect, subject to identity checks.
Saved payment and shipping details
To make checkout quicker, we keep the payment and shipping details you give us: the cards you add in the app, the card you pay with, the card a subscription renews on, and the shipping addresses you use. Checkout tells you when a card is saved. If you are in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we ask first: the card you pay with is saved only if you tick the box to save it. Cards are kept by our payment processor; we only see their brand, last four digits and expiry. You can remove a saved card, or edit or delete a saved address, at any time in the app's settings.
Refunds
- Digital items are final. Prompts, templates, other digital goods, tips and credit top-ups are not refundable once delivered.
- Unless the law gives you one. Nothing here removes a right you have where you live — for example to a refund for something that was never delivered, was faulty, or was not as described.
- If you live in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you normally have 14 days to cancel an online purchase. For digital items we ask you at checkout to agree to immediate delivery and to acknowledge that you then lose that right; if you do not agree, you can still cancel within the 14 days.
- App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded by Apple or Google under their own policies (see section 7).
Physical items: shipping and returns
- Where we ship. Some destinations are not available for makes. Checkout tells you before you pay if an item cannot be shipped to your address.
- Cross-border orders. If a make ships to you from another country, you are responsible for any customs declaration, import duty, tax and fees your country charges on arrival. Checkout shows this before you pay.
- Returns. If a seller agrees to take an item back because you changed your mind, the return shipping is split equally between buyer and seller. If the item was faulty, damaged or not as described, the seller pays the return shipping in full.
Problems and disputes
- Talk first. If something is wrong with an order, contact the other side in the app; most problems are settled that way.
- Then ask us. Either the buyer or the seller can bring an unresolved problem to us. We look at what both sides send, decide, and may refund the buyer from the seller's held earnings.
- Chargebacks and store refunds. If a buyer disputes a payment with their bank, or Apple or Google refund a purchase, the amount refunded and any dispute fee charged to us are taken from the seller's earnings — from held earnings first and, if those are not enough, from the seller's connected account under the debit authorisation the seller accepts before payouts.
7. Credits and subscriptions
AI features are metered. You may buy credit, or subscribe to a plan that includes an allowance. Credit is a prepayment for use of the Services; it is not money, it earns no interest, and it is not transferable. Subscriptions renew automatically for the period you chose until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time from the app — cancellation stops the next renewal and does not shorten the period you have already paid for. Prices may change; we will tell you before a change affects a renewal.
Refunds of in-app purchases are decided by Apple or Google under their own policies, which can override what section 6 says. If you ask Apple for a refund, we tell Apple that your purchase was delivered and what we would prefer: a refund of the unused part of a subscription period, and none for credit top-ups, which are not refundable. By buying in the app you consent to us sharing this with Apple. If a refund is granted, the subscription ends and the allowance left in that period is removed; credit you bought separately stays.
8. Our rights
The Services themselves — the app, the site, our name, our logo and our software — belong to us and our licensors. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services as they are intended to be used, and nothing more.
9. Feedback
If you send us feedback, a bug report or an idea, we may use it without obligation to you. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.
10. Availability and changes
We are actively building Idea Maker. Features may change, and we may add, alter or remove parts of the Services. We aim to keep the Services running but we do not promise they will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we may suspend them for maintenance or for reasons of security.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services and all AI output are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they do not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Idea Maker and its officers, employees and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) one hundred US dollars. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Indemnity
If you are using the Services for business purposes, you agree to indemnify Idea Maker against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your Content, your use of the Services, or your breach of these Terms.
14. Ending your use
You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if continuing would create risk for you, for us or for other users. Sections that by their nature should survive — ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and dispute resolution — survive the end of this agreement.
15. Disputes and governing law
Please contact us first: nearly everything is resolved faster that way. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the state and federal courts located in California have exclusive jurisdiction — except that you may bring a claim in the courts of the country where you live if the law there gives you that right, and nothing here removes any mandatory consumer protection you have at home.
16. Changes to these Terms
When we change these Terms we publish the new version here with a new version number and effective date. If the change is material we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Services after that date means you accept the new version.
