Terms ofService.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

You agree to:

• provide accurate, current registration information;
• keep your password and credentials confidential;
• be responsible for all activity under your account; and
• promptly notify us at support@afterthoughtai.com of any unauthorized access.

You may not (a) create accounts by automated means, (b) share your account with others, (c) create more than one account except with our written permission, or (d) impersonate any person or entity.

You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service from, a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Afterthought is a personal knowledge-management tool that lets you save publicly accessible web content, organize it with tags and notes, search across it, and interact with an AI assistant about it.

Beta status. The Service is currently offered in beta. It may contain bugs, undergo frequent changes, lose data, or be modified or discontinued without notice. You acknowledge that beta software is provided for testing and evaluation purposes and not for production-critical use.

Service surfaces. The Service is delivered via our website, iOS application (distributed through the Apple App Store and TestFlight), browser extension, and additional applications we may release.

Optional integrations. The Service offers optional integrations with third-party services (for example, Pocket import). You are responsible for complying with the terms of any third-party service you connect.

User-directed retrieval. When you save content through the Service, you direct us to retrieve and store that content on your behalf for your personal reading and reference. We do not crawl, index, or republish content on our own initiative. Each item in your account exists because you instructed the Service to save it.

Not a publishing platform. The Service is for your private use. We do not provide tools to publish your saved content, notes, or AI-generated outputs to other users or the public.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• violate any law or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• store, save, transmit, or generate content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, abusive, or that depicts the sexual exploitation of minors;
• store, save, transmit, or generate pornographic or sexually explicit content;
• attempt to access another user's account or our non-public systems;
• introduce malware, conduct denial-of-service attacks, or otherwise interfere with the Service;
• use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Service except as expressly permitted;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except as permitted by law;
• attempt to bypass rate limits, content filters, or security measures;
• attempt prompt injection, jailbreaking, or other techniques to cause the AI assistant to violate these Terms or generate content prohibited under Section 5;
• resell, sublicense, or use the Service to operate a competing product;
• use the Service to generate or disseminate spam, disinformation, or hate speech.

We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including suspension or termination of your account, removal of content, and cooperation with law enforcement.

3.1 Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)

Saving, generating, transmitting, or possessing child sexual abuse material through the Service is strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate termination. We are required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A to report apparent CSAM to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, and we will do so when we become aware of such content. We may preserve and disclose related account information to NCMEC, law enforcement, and other authorities as required by law.

3.2 Content Moderation

We have no obligation to monitor, screen, or pre-review the content you save, generate, or input. However, we reserve the right — without obligation — to investigate, remove, or disable access to content we believe in good faith violates these Terms or applicable law, and to suspend or terminate accounts associated with such violations.

To report content you believe violates these Terms (including content that is unlawful, infringing, abusive, or harmful), email abuse@afterthoughtai.com with details sufficient for us to locate and evaluate the content. For copyright-specific complaints, see Section 7.

Your content. "User Content" means anything you save, upload, input, or generate through the Service, including saved web pages, notes, tags, files, and prompts you submit to the AI. As between you and us, you retain all rights you have in your User Content. We claim no ownership of it.

License to us. You grant Afterthought a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and process your User Content solely as needed to operate, provide, and improve the Service for you. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for residual copies in routine backups (which are deleted on a normal cycle) and content we are required to retain by law.

Your representations. By saving or uploading content to the Service, you represent and warrant that:

• you have the legal right to access the content at its source (for example, the content is publicly available, or you have an active subscription, account, or other authorization to access it);
• saving the content for your personal use through the Service does not violate any law, contract, or term applicable to the source — including paywalls, login requirements, anti-scraping measures, robots.txt directives, or terms of service that prohibit such use;
• you have not circumvented any access control, authentication measure, or technical protection in obtaining the content; and
• saving and using the content through the Service does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.

The Service is intended as a personal time-shifting and organizational tool — analogous to bookmarking, saving for later, or making a personal copy — for content you are otherwise permitted to save under fair use or similar personal-use doctrines. You bear sole responsibility for the content you save and for any consequences of saving it.

Feedback. If you send us feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without obligation to you.

The Service includes AI features that allow you to ask questions, request summaries, and otherwise interact with your saved content through a large language model. We use third-party AI providers; see our Privacy Policy and our sub-processor list for current providers and how data flows to them.

AI output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. You should not rely on it for legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Always verify important information independently.

Ownership of AI output. Subject to these Terms and applicable third-party provider terms, you own the responses the AI generates from your prompts and content ("AI Output"). You acknowledge that AI Output is generated by statistical models, that similar or identical output may be generated for other users, and that AI Output is therefore not unique to you and we cannot guarantee its originality or non-infringement. You are responsible for reviewing AI Output before using it externally.

Restrictions. You may not (a) use AI features to generate content that violates Section 3, (b) use AI Output to train another machine-learning model, (c) attempt to extract our system prompts or model parameters, or (d) use AI features to attempt to reproduce the full text of copyrighted works you have saved.

Usage limits. We may apply usage limits to the AI features to maintain Service quality and manage costs. We will communicate limits through the Service.

The Service, including its software, design, logos, and trademarks, is owned by Afterthought or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. No other rights are granted.

You may not use our name, logos, or branding without our prior written consent.

7.1 DMCA Notices

If you believe content stored on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent that includes the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

DMCA Designated Agent Afterthought AI, Inc. 548 Market St #93142, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA Email: dmca@afterthoughtai.com

A valid notice must identify the specific copyrighted work claimed to be infringed and the specific material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that material. Where the same rights-holder is alleging multiple instances of infringement of the same kind, a representative list of the works as permitted by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A)(ii) is acceptable. General or blanket assertions that all content from a particular source or platform is infringing, without identification of specific works and specific instances, do not constitute valid DMCA notices and will be evaluated, if at all, under Section 7.2.

We will respond to valid notices in accordance with the DMCA and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content. We will terminate accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Counter-notices may be submitted under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

7.2 Non-DMCA Source Requests

If you operate a website or own content and you wish to request that content from your domain or content owned by you no longer be saved through the Service, contact support@afterthoughtai.com. We will evaluate the request in good faith and may take action up to and including blocking saves from your domain.

7.3 Reservation of Right to Block Sources

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without notice, to block, restrict, or remove the ability for users to save content from any source — for any reason, including a request from a source operator or rights holder, our judgment that saves from the source are unlawful or violate these Terms, technical considerations, or our judgment about the appropriate use of the Service. We have no obligation to monitor sources for these purposes and exercise this right entirely at our discretion.

The Service incorporates third-party services and may display content from third-party websites. We are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or availability of third-party services or content, and your use of them may be subject to separate terms. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

The Service is currently free. If we introduce paid plans, we will update these Terms with pricing, billing, renewal, refund, and cancellation details before any charges apply, and we will not charge you without your explicit consent.

The following applies to the iOS version of the Service obtained through the Apple App Store ("Licensed Application"):

• These Terms are concluded between you and Afterthought only, and not with Apple, Inc. ("Apple"). Afterthought, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content.
• Your license to use the Licensed Application is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Licensed Application.
• In the event of any failure of the Licensed Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Licensed Application. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Licensed Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Afterthought's sole responsibility.
• Afterthought, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Licensed Application, including product liability, regulatory non-compliance, and consumer protection claims.
• Afterthought, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the Licensed Application or your use of it infringes intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to the Licensed Application and have the right to enforce these Terms against you.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the Licensed Application (for example, your wireless carrier's terms).

By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time by contacting support@afterthoughtai.com or, where available, through in-app account settings.

By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if (a) you violate these Terms, (b) we are required to do so by law, (c) your conduct creates risk for the Service or other users, or (d) we discontinue the Service.

Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. We will delete your User Content within 30 days, subject to backup cycles and limited records we retain to comply with law, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes. Before termination is finalized, you may request an export of your data as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections 3.1 (CSAM), 4 (your representations and the feedback license), 5 (AI Output restrictions), 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18 survive termination.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL AFTERTHOUGHT, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS PERSONNEL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability will be limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Afterthought and its personnel from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your User Content, including any claim by a website operator, rights holder, platform, or other third party that the saving, storage, processing, retrieval, or display of content you saved violates that third party's intellectual property, contract, terms of service, or any law; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. We will give you prompt notice of any claim and reasonable cooperation. You may not settle any claim that imposes any obligation on us without our prior written consent.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

[OPTION A — Arbitration with class waiver] Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, in San Francisco, California. Each party waives any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.

[OPTION B — Court only] The state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

[Lawyer to choose A or B and tailor accordingly.]

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will provide notice by email or in-app notification at least 15 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if you wish, request deletion of your account.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to specific features, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or to an affiliate.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
