A working draft of the terms planned for FounderOS. It explains the safeguards we intend to use for AI-assisted workflows, customer content and subscriptions.
Important — not final legal terms. FounderOS is a prototype and is not currently offered for purchase. This draft is published for transparency and review, not as a completed contract. Before commercial launch, the service provider's legal identity and contact details must be added, the terms must be checked against the final product and checkout, and qualified UK legal advice should be obtained. Do not rely on this draft as legal advice.
FounderOS is a product name. The legal person or business responsible for the service, its geographic business address and a working contact email must be clearly identified here before launch. If operated by a limited company, the website and relevant business documents must also include the company information required by law. No provider identity or address is intentionally guessed in this draft.
The website describes planned features and indicative prices. Screenshots, feature lists, plans and examples may illustrate intended functionality rather than a feature currently available. The prototype may contain defects, incomplete integrations or unavailable features and must not be relied on for business-critical work. No payment should be taken and no commercial subscription should be offered until the launch blockers have been resolved.
AI-generated text, plans, code, research, forecasts and recommendations may be incorrect, incomplete, out of date, biased or unsuitable for your circumstances. You must review outputs and independently verify important facts before relying on them. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, FounderOS is a productivity tool, not legal, financial, tax, medical, cybersecurity or other regulated professional advice. It does not guarantee revenue, profit, business growth, accuracy, uninterrupted operation or any particular outcome.
You remain responsible for decisions made using the service, for checking generated material, and for obtaining professional advice where appropriate. Do not allow an AI workflow to make consequential decisions or take external actions without suitable human review and permission.
You retain rights you already hold in your prompts, files and other material you provide. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to use that material, including personal data, confidential information, copyrighted content and third-party business information. You must not upload information unlawfully or in breach of a duty owed to another person.
You grant the service only the limited permission needed to process your content to provide the features you choose, operate and secure the service, and provide support. The final terms must specify the actual processing, storage, retention and any permitted service-provider access. Local AI does not by itself mean every part of the product is offline or that account, payment, update and optional integration traffic never leaves your device; see the Privacy approach.
You must not use FounderOS to break the law, infringe rights, distribute malware, evade security controls, access accounts or systems without permission, harass or defraud others, or generate and act on harmful content unlawfully. You must not use it as the sole basis for high-impact decisions about people, or for actions that require a qualified professional, without appropriate human oversight. You must not attempt to disrupt the service, bypass licence or access controls, or use it to build a competing service in breach of applicable rights or law.
Features that send messages, publish content, spend money, change systems, modify data or otherwise affect third parties require careful configuration and appropriate approval. You are responsible for checking the recipient, content, permissions and consequences before approving an action. We intend to provide clear approval gates and activity records for supported actions, but these controls must be verified in the actual release. Do not assume an action is reversible or that an audit record is a complete record of everything that occurred.
Third-party services, models, APIs and integrations may have their own terms, privacy notices, availability limits and charges. They are not covered by a promise that local inference is private. Optional cloud AI is not available until explicitly launched with separate disclosures and pricing.
You must provide accurate account details, keep authentication credentials secure, and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. You may use the software only under the licence and plan actually purchased and made available to your account. Do not redistribute, resell or reverse engineer the service except where applicable law permits or where we have given written permission. The final licence must define permitted devices, seats, updates, offline use and what happens when a subscription ends or cannot be verified.
The prices currently shown are prototype prices, not an offer to buy. Before sales begin, checkout must clearly state the plan, features, total price, billing interval, taxes where applicable, renewal mechanics, cancellation method, cooling-off rights and any conditions for immediate digital delivery. No recurring charge may be taken through this preview. The final process must provide a straightforward way to manage and cancel subscriptions and honour applicable consumer rights.
Any final refund and cancellation policy will operate alongside statutory rights; it will not remove rights that cannot legally be excluded. If a plan changes, payment fails or a subscription expires, access and data handling must follow clear published rules, with reasonable notice and appropriate safeguards against accidental loss.
The service may need maintenance, updates or security-related restrictions. The final contract will explain how material changes, outages, suspension, termination and access to customer data are handled. We may need to restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect security, comply with law, address abuse or enforce fair licence terms. Any suspension or termination process must be proportionate and consistent with applicable law and contractual rights.
To the extent permitted by law, FounderOS is provided subject to the limitations and exclusions stated in the final contract. Nothing in the final terms is intended to exclude or restrict liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, including applicable statutory consumer rights, or liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Consumer digital content and services may carry legal standards that cannot be contracted away. Any limitation of liability must be fair, transparent and appropriate to the customer and service; it will not be treated as a blanket exemption from responsibility.
We will not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation, or guarantee business results. However, these statements do not remove any legal duty to exercise reasonable care and skill, supply what was agreed, protect personal data, or provide remedies required by law.
Personal data must be handled as described in the final privacy notice and applicable data-protection law. Before launch, we must confirm the controller's identity, lawful bases, purposes, data recipients, retention periods, international transfers where relevant, individual rights, security measures and how to contact us. We must also assess whether a data-protection fee is due and whether other data-protection obligations apply. Read the current Privacy approach; it is also marked as a prototype statement, not a completed privacy guarantee.
FounderOS, its branding and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. The final licence will describe the rights granted to customers and any open-source or third-party components and licence conditions. AI output ownership and any limits imposed by model or third-party terms must be assessed before launch; we do not promise that every generated output is unique or free from third-party rights.
A working support and complaints contact, a fair complaint-handling process, and the governing-law and jurisdiction wording must be completed before launch. The final terms should identify how changes will be communicated and when they take effect. Any choice of law or forum will remain subject to mandatory consumer protections applicable to the customer.
