2. Description of Service

- Pro Plan: Expanded credits, unlimited websites, all improvement suggestions, screenshot analysis, full-site crawl, PDF export, and detailed analytics.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part thereof at any time, with or without notice, and we will not be liable for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

We do not provide refunds for partial months or unused subscription time, except where required by applicable law.
4.5 Price Changes
We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of price changes to existing subscribers via email. Continued use of the Service after the price change takes effect constitutes your agreement to pay the new price.

The Service and its original content, features, functionality, design, code, trademarks, and branding are and will remain the exclusive property of StartupRoastAI. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Our trademarks may not be used in connection with any product or service without our prior written consent.
6.2 AI-Generated Reports
The analysis reports, scores, suggestions, and roast content generated by our AI for your submitted URLs are provided to you for your personal and business use. You may use, share, and incorporate these results freely. However, we retain the right to use anonymized, aggregated analysis data to improve our models and Service.
6.3 Your Content
You retain all ownership rights to the URLs and websites you submit. By submitting URLs, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, process, and display information from those URLs solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
7. AI Disclaimer and Accuracy
StartupRoastAI uses artificial intelligence to generate analysis reports, scores, and suggestions. You acknowledge and agree that:
- AI-generated analysis is subjective and may not always reflect best practices in every industry or context.
- Scores and suggestions are intended as guidance only and should not be treated as definitive professional advice.
- The AI may make errors, omissions, or assessments that do not apply to your specific business, audience, or market.
- Results may vary between analyses of the same URL due to AI model variability.
- We do not guarantee that following our suggestions will result in any specific business outcome, conversion rate improvement, or revenue increase.
We strongly recommend treating our analysis as one data point among many and combining it with your own judgment, user research, and professional advice where appropriate.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with and relies on third-party services, including OpenAI, PayPal, Supabase, Vercel, and others. These services are subject to their own terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices, availability, or actions of these third parties.
In particular, our AI analysis is powered by OpenAI's API. By using the Service, you agree that page content from submitted URLs may be processed by OpenAI pursuant to OpenAI's Terms of Use.
9. Public Leaderboard and Sharing
By default, your roast results may be set to public, which means they can appear on our public leaderboard and be accessed by anyone with the share link. You can change the visibility of any roast to private at any time from your dashboard.
For public roasts, you grant StartupRoastAI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display the URL, score, and tier label on our leaderboard and in promotional materials (such as social media showcasing top-scoring pages).
