                    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE
================================================================================

Last Updated: December 15, 2025
Version: 1.2

Welcome to MobyDick AI (the "Platform"). By creating an account or using our 
services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). Please read them 
carefully.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not create an account or use the Platform.

================================================================================
                         PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY
================================================================================

Before the legal details, here's what you're agreeing to in plain English:

  1. This is a BETA product. Features will change, sometimes break, sometimes 
     disappear. We're building in public.

  2. AI generates your content, but YOU are responsible for reviewing it 
     before you publish. AI makes mistakes.

  3. You own the content you create. We don't claim rights to your carousels, 
     posts, or brand materials.

  4. Credits are not money. They're a way to track usage. They don't roll over, 
     and you can't cash them out.

  5. We can change prices with 30 days notice. We'll email you.

  6. If something goes wrong, our liability is limited to what you paid us 
     (or $100, whichever is more).

  7. We're building fast, and sometimes data might be lost. Download your 
     PDFs and save what matters. We'll try to help, but we can't guarantee 
     recovery.

Now, the full Terms:

You may request earlier deletion by contacting support.

6.5 DATA AVAILABILITY

We're building this platform alongside you, and that means things move fast.

While we do our best to keep all your data safe and accessible, rapid 
development sometimes means breaking changes. New features, architecture 
improvements, and bug fixes may occasionally result in some or all of your 
data being affected or deleted.

If something goes wrong, we'll try to recover your data — but depending on 
the situation, recovery may be difficult or impossible. We can't make 
guarantees.

Here's what we recommend:

  - Download your PDFs and carousels after you create them
  - Save any content that's important to your business
  - Think of the Platform as a creation tool, not a permanent archive

By using the Platform, you understand that our commitment to making it 
better — with new features, improvements, and rapid iteration — is part of 
what makes it valuable. You're willing to accept that occasional data loss 
may happen as a tradeoff for having access to the best possible tool at any 
given moment.

We're grateful you're on this journey with us, and we'll always do our best 
to take care of your data. But we can't promise perfection — and we want to 
be upfront about that.
