Terms of Service

1. Who this agreement is with

ThoughtNets is operated by Yad Bakhtiar Yasin ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using ThoughtNets, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

2. Accounts

You need an account to post. You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything that happens under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to use ThoughtNets. One account per person — don't create accounts to get around a suspension or a quota.

3. Your content

What you post — thoughts, questions, answers — stays yours. By posting it, you give us the license we need to store it, display it to other users, and process it through the matching engine (which sends the text to OpenAI to generate an embedding — see the Privacy Policy for what that means). You can delete your own thoughts, questions, and answers at any time from their page.

Don't post anything illegal, anything that harasses or threatens another person, spam, or content you don't have the right to post. We can remove content that violates this, with or without a report from another user — see "Moderation" below.

4. Subscriptions

Free and Pro plans are described on the pricing page. Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel or switch plans at any time from the billing portal (linked from the pricing page once you're subscribed) — cancelling stops future renewals but doesn't refund the current billing period. We don't store your card details; Stripe handles that.

5. Advertising

When new purchases are available, you can book a paid ad placement through /advertise. Every ad is reviewed before it goes live. If we reject it, you're refunded in full automatically — we don't keep payment for an ad that didn't run. We can reject or later remove an ad for any reason, including but not limited to: illegal content, malware or phishing links, content misrepresenting what's being advertised, or content that violates section 3 above. Booking a placement doesn't guarantee any particular number of views or outcome.

6. Moderation

Any signed-in user can report a thought, question, or answer. We review reports and may remove content that violates these terms. Removal is permanent — we don't keep a hidden copy. We may also suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate these terms.

7. No warranty, limited liability

ThoughtNets is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the matching engine's connections are accurate. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

8. Changes

We may update these terms as the service changes. We'll update the date at the top when we do. Continuing to use ThoughtNets after a change means you accept the updated terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the applicable laws of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and the Republic of Iraq.
