Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and OakLynx, LLC (“OakLynx,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the company that operates the OakLynx application and website at getoaklynx.com (the “Service”). By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use OakLynx

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Service on behalf of a business, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business to these Terms, and “you” includes that business.

2. What OakLynx does

OakLynx uses artificial intelligence to research public web signals and generate business and product ideas, market analysis, build plans, coaching (through “Niles,” our AI assistant), starter materials, and related tools. The Service is an informational and educational tool to help you explore and plan a business. It is a starting point — not a promise of any outcome.

3. Not professional advice; no guarantee of results

OakLynx does not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting, or other professional advice, and nothing in the Service is a substitute for a qualified professional. The ideas, analyses, plans, numbers, and suggestions the Service produces are informational only. You are solely responsible for your own business decisions and for doing your own due diligence.

We do not guarantee that any idea will be profitable, successful, available, legal in your area, or suitable for you. Building a business involves risk, effort, and factors outside our control, and results vary. Any examples, scores, or projections are illustrative, not a prediction of your results. Before acting on anything from the Service, consult appropriate professionals (such as an attorney, accountant, or licensed advisor).

4. AI-generated content and idea originality

The Service is powered by AI and by summaries of publicly available web content. AI can be wrong, incomplete, out of date, or misleading, and demand “evidence” it surfaces may be inaccurate. Always verify anything important independently before relying on it.

Ideas the Service generates are not guaranteed to be original, unique, or exclusive to you— other users may receive similar ideas, and similar businesses may already exist. You are responsible for checking that anything you build does not infringe others’ intellectual property (trademarks, patents, copyrights) and complies with all applicable laws, licenses, and regulations. We do not perform, and are not responsible for, any such clearance.

5. Your account

Keep your login credentials secure and provide accurate information. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@getoaklynx.com if you suspect unauthorized use.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for anything unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or infringing;
• resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties as your own;
• scrape, crawl, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the underlying models or data, or bypass rate limits, security, or access controls;
• overload or interfere with the Service, or use bots/automation to abuse it;
• upload content you don’t have the right to share, or that is unlawful or harmful.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Membership, billing, and cancellation

OakLynx offers a limited free preview (currently your first two idea generations) and a paid membership. When paid billing is active, membership is offered on a monthly or annual basis at the prices shown at checkout (currently $39/month, or an annual plan). Paid memberships renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. You can cancel any time, effective at the end of the current period; access continues until then. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and partial periods are not refunded. We may change prices or plans on reasonable notice; changes apply to the next renewal. Payments are processed by a third-party payment provider, and you agree to their terms; we do not store your full card details. You are responsible for applicable taxes.

8. Intellectual property and your content

We (and our licensors) own the Service, including its software, models, design, and branding. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service under these Terms.

You own the information you put in (your profile, notes, and prompts). As between you and us, you are free to use the outputs the Service generates for you (such as ideas, plans, and drafts) for your own business, subject to Sections 3 and 4. You grant us a limited license to process your content in order to operate and improve the Service. Outputs are provided “as is” and, as noted above, are not guaranteed to be unique or non-infringing.

9. Referrals

If we offer a referral or rewards feature, any rewards are provided at our discretion, have no cash value, and may be changed or withdrawn. Abuse of referrals (such as fake or self-referrals) may result in forfeiture and account action.

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example, AI, hosting, database and authentication, email, web search, and payments). Your content may be processed by these providers as needed to run the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party services or websites the Service may reference.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any result will be achieved.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, OakLynx and its owners, employees, and providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service — even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD $100. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OakLynx from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, a business you pursue, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 3, 4, 8, 11, 12, and 13) will survive termination.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by email or in the app). Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us and try to resolve the issue informally. The courts located in the State of Texas will have jurisdiction over any dispute, unless a binding arbitration agreement is added here (a decision to confirm with counsel).
