Terms of Service

Last updated July 20, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of NoteStead.

NoteStead is a product owned and operated by The Intentional Company. The Intentional Company is the legal entity providing the service, entering into these Terms with you, and handling subscriptions, invoices, and billing (“NoteStead,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using NoteStead, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use NoteStead.

We have tried to make these Terms understandable. Questions may be sent to sal@theintentional.co .

1. What NoteStead is

NoteStead is an AI-assisted research and content platform designed to help users research topics, organize ideas and frameworks, develop content, and generate written material using their own information, preferences, and instructions.

NoteStead uses artificial intelligence and other automated systems.

AI-generated content can be incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, outdated, offensive, or otherwise unsuitable for your intended use.

You are responsible for reviewing and deciding whether to use, edit, publish, distribute, or rely on any output generated through NoteStead.

NoteStead is a tool. It does not replace your own judgment.

2. Who may use NoteStead

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding agreement to create a NoteStead account.

If you use NoteStead on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” includes that entity where appropriate.

NoteStead is not directed to children under 13.

3. Your account

You must provide accurate and current information when creating and maintaining your account.

You are responsible for:

maintaining the security of your account and authentication methods;
protecting access to your account;
activity that occurs through your account; and
notifying us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

Unless a plan or feature specifically allows multiple users, an individual NoteStead account is intended for one person and login credentials may not be shared.

You may not:

impersonate another person or organization;
create an account using information you are not authorized to use;
sell, transfer, or rent access to your account; or
use another person’s account without authorization.

We may require you to verify information associated with your account when reasonably necessary for security, support, billing, export, or deletion requests.

4. Free access, trials, and promotional offers

NoteStead may offer free access, free trials, promotional access, introductory offers, or other limited access to certain features.

The specific terms of any trial or promotional offer will be presented before you begin the offer.

Those terms may include:

the duration of the trial or promotion;
the features included;
applicable usage limits;
whether a payment method is required;
whether the offer automatically converts to a paid subscription;
when any charge would occur;
what happens when the offer ends; and
how to cancel or avoid future charges, if applicable.

The terms presented with a specific offer are incorporated into these Terms.

You should review those terms before starting the offer.

We will not intentionally charge you for a trial or promotional offer unless the applicable offer terms disclosed that a charge would occur and you authorized the applicable payment arrangement.

Free trials and promotional offers are intended for legitimate prospective users.

Unless an offer expressly permits otherwise, a person may receive only one introductory trial or equivalent promotional offer.

You may not create or use multiple accounts, identities, email addresses, payment methods, or other means for the purpose of repeatedly obtaining a one-time trial or promotional benefit.

We may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue future free plans, trials, or promotional offers at any time, subject to applicable law and any commitments already made to users participating in an active offer.

5. Paid plans and recurring subscriptions

Some NoteStead features require a paid subscription.

The price, billing frequency, included features, usage limits, renewal terms, and other material conditions of a paid plan will be presented before you purchase it.

If a subscription renews automatically, that fact will be disclosed before purchase.

By purchasing a recurring subscription, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge the payment method associated with your account for:

the subscription price;
applicable taxes; and
other charges you expressly authorize.

Your subscription will continue according to the billing and renewal terms presented at checkout until canceled or otherwise terminated.

Payments are processed through Stripe or another payment provider identified at checkout.

NoteStead does not directly store your full payment-card number.

6. Price and plan changes

We may change:

subscription prices;
plan structures;
included features;
usage allowances; or
other aspects of paid plans.

A price increase will not be applied retroactively to a billing period you have already paid for.

If we increase the recurring price of your existing paid subscription, we will provide notice before the new price applies to a future renewal, as required by applicable law.

You may cancel before the new price takes effect.

We may add, remove, or modify features within a plan as NoteStead develops.

For material reductions to a paid service, we will provide notice when reasonably appropriate.

7. Cancellation

You may cancel a paid subscription according to the cancellation method made available for your plan.

When self-service cancellation is available, you may cancel through your account or billing settings.

Until self-service cancellation is available, you may request cancellation by emailing: sal@theintentional.co

A cancellation request must be received before your next renewal charge to prevent the next scheduled renewal.

Unless the applicable plan or offer states otherwise, cancellation generally:

stops future renewal charges;
allows paid access to continue through the end of the billing period already paid for; and
does not automatically delete your account or your content.

Account deletion is handled separately as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Refunds

Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated at the time of purchase, subscription fees that have already been paid are non-refundable.

Canceling a subscription normally prevents future renewal charges but does not create a refund for the current billing period.

We may choose to issue refunds, credits, or other adjustments in individual circumstances.

Doing so in one situation does not require us to do so in another.

If you believe you were charged incorrectly or experienced a billing problem, contact us at sal@theintentional.co .

Nothing in these Terms limits any refund, cancellation, or other consumer right that cannot legally be waived.

9. Usage limits

NoteStead plans and offers may include limits on:

AI usage;
generated content;
research activity;
storage;
accounts or users;
features; or
other service resources.

Usage limits may differ by plan or offer and may change over time.

We may use reasonable technical measures to enforce these limits.

You may not attempt to:

evade usage limits;
manipulate usage measurements;
create multiple accounts to bypass restrictions;
interfere with metering systems; or
obtain access to paid or restricted features without authorization.

10. Acceptable use

You may use NoteStead only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You may not use NoteStead to:

violate applicable law or regulations;
infringe or misappropriate another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights;
upload, provide, or direct NoteStead to process content that you do not have the right to use for the intended purpose;
defraud, deceive, impersonate, or unlawfully manipulate another person;
harass, threaten, exploit, or unlawfully discriminate against others;
create, distribute, or facilitate unlawful or seriously harmful content;
distribute malware or malicious code;
gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, networks, or data;
probe, scan, test, bypass, disable, or interfere with security or technical restrictions without authorization;
overload, disrupt, damage, or impair the service;
scrape or systematically extract information from NoteStead except through functionality we expressly provide or authorize;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to discover non-public source code except where applicable law expressly permits it;
resell or commercially provide access to NoteStead unless we have authorized that use;
abuse trials, promotions, referral programs, or usage limits;
use automated systems to create accounts or access the service in a manner we have not authorized; or
use NoteStead in a way that would cause us or our service providers to violate applicable law or the policies governing services used to operate NoteStead.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of NoteStead and any resulting content is appropriate for your circumstances.

We may investigate suspected violations and may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, third parties, or our legal rights.

11. High-impact and professional uses

NoteStead is primarily a research and content tool.

Unless we expressly state otherwise, NoteStead is not designed to provide professional legal, medical, financial, accounting, tax, employment, or other regulated professional advice.

You should not rely on AI-generated output as a substitute for qualified professional advice.

You are responsible for any decisions, representations, publications, campaigns, communications, or other actions you take based on content produced through NoteStead.

You should apply appropriate human review before using NoteStead output in situations that could materially affect another person’s:

legal rights;
employment;
housing;
credit;
education;
healthcare;
finances; or
access to essential services.

12. Your content

As between you and NoteStead, you retain any ownership rights you have in content you submit to NoteStead.

This may include your:

notes;
drafts;
frameworks;
research materials;
prompts;
instructions;
source material;
voice or writing preferences; and
other content you provide.

You are responsible for your content and represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary for NoteStead to process it as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

You grant NoteStead a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, process, transmit, display, modify, and otherwise use your content only as reasonably necessary to:

provide NoteStead to you;
perform the actions you request;
maintain and secure the service;
troubleshoot and support the service;
enforce these Terms;
comply with law; and
process information as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy.

This license ends when the content is deleted from our systems, subject to reasonable technical, backup, legal, security, and retention requirements described in our Privacy Policy.

We do not claim ownership of your original content.

13. AI-generated output

Subject to applicable law and these Terms, as between you and NoteStead, you may use output generated for you through NoteStead.

To the extent NoteStead has any rights in output generated specifically for you, we assign those rights to you.

However, artificial intelligence creates special limitations that you understand and accept:

AI-generated material may not qualify for copyright or other intellectual-property protection;
similar or identical output may be generated for other users;
output may contain errors or inaccurate information;
output may resemble existing material;
output may not be unique;
we do not guarantee that output is free from third-party claims or rights; and
your use, publication, registration, or commercial exploitation of output remains your responsibility.

You are responsible for reviewing output before using or publishing it.

You should not represent AI-generated material as independently verified fact merely because NoteStead generated it.

14. Feedback

You may voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, comments, or other feedback about NoteStead.

You retain ownership of any underlying intellectual property you already own.

You grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate voluntary feedback into our products and business without compensation or obligation to you.

This section does not give us ownership of your private NoteStead content merely because that content may contain ideas or suggestions.

15. NoteStead and The Intentional Company intellectual property

NoteStead, including its software, interface, branding, design, documentation, systems, and other materials provided by us, is owned by or licensed to The Intentional Company and is protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited right to use the service under these Terms, these Terms do not transfer ownership of NoteStead or our intellectual property to you.

You may not use our trademarks, logos, or branding in a way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation without permission.

16. Third-party services and content

NoteStead depends on third-party services and technologies.

These may include providers for:

hosting;
databases;
authentication;
AI processing;
payment processing;
email delivery; and
third-party sign-in.

Our current service providers are described in our Privacy Policy.

Your use of certain third-party services may also be subject to the third party’s own terms and policies.

We do not control third-party services and cannot guarantee their continued availability, functionality, or performance.

If a third-party provider changes or discontinues a service, NoteStead may need to modify, replace, suspend, or discontinue affected features.

17. Third-party research sources

NoteStead may allow you to provide URLs or other sources for research and processing.

You are responsible for determining whether you have the right to access, provide, copy, process, summarize, or otherwise use those sources for your intended purpose.

NoteStead does not grant you rights to third-party content merely because the service can technically access or process it.

Third-party websites and sources may have their own:

terms of use;
copyright restrictions;
access restrictions;
privacy practices; and
licensing requirements.

You are responsible for complying with them.

18. Product analytics and improvement

We may analyze service usage and overall engagement to understand how NoteStead performs and to improve or develop products and features.

Our collection and use of personal information for these purposes is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Where reasonably practical, we may use aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information for product analysis and improvement.

This section does not give us ownership of your content.

19. Beta, experimental, and preview features

NoteStead may offer features identified as:

beta;
preview;
experimental;
early access; or
similar pre-release functionality.

These features may:

be incomplete;
change without notice;
contain more errors than generally available features;
have limited support; or
be discontinued.

You use pre-release features at your own discretion.

We may impose additional terms or restrictions on specific experimental features.

20. Changes to the service

NoteStead will change over time.

We may:

add, modify, or remove features;
change technical systems or service providers;
impose or modify usage limits;
update interfaces or workflows;
discontinue older functionality; or
suspend portions of the service for maintenance, security, or operational reasons.

We will make reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessarily disrupting paid users.

We do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available forever unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

21. Availability

We work to keep NoteStead available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

The service may be unavailable because of:

maintenance;
updates;
third-party provider outages;
internet or infrastructure failures;
security incidents;
events outside our reasonable control; or
other technical or operational problems.

We may temporarily suspend access when reasonably necessary to maintain, secure, or protect the service.

22. Suspension and termination by us

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to NoteStead if we reasonably believe:

you materially violated these Terms;
your use creates a security, legal, fraud, or abuse risk;
your activity threatens the service or other users;
payment for a paid service is overdue;
we are required to do so by law;
a third-party service necessary to provide the service requires us to act; or
continuing to provide the service would create unreasonable legal or operational risk.

Where reasonably appropriate, we may give you notice and an opportunity to correct the issue.

We may act immediately where the situation is urgent, unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or creates a security or safety risk.

Termination of your account does not eliminate obligations or liabilities that arose before termination.

23. Ending your use of NoteStead

You may stop using NoteStead at any time.

You may:

cancel a paid subscription;
request an export of your information; and
request deletion of your account,

as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Cancellation and account deletion are separate actions.

Certain provisions of these Terms that by their nature should continue after termination will survive, including provisions relating to:

intellectual property;
payment obligations already incurred;
disclaimers;
limitations of liability;
indemnification;
disputes; and
other accrued rights and obligations.

24. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTESTEAD IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF:

MERCHANTABILITY;
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
TITLE;
NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND
ACCURACY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT:

NOTESTEAD WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE;
ALL DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED;
AI-GENERATED OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNIQUE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSE;
RESEARCH RESULTS WILL BE COMPLETE OR CURRENT;
CONTENT WILL BE FREE FROM THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS; OR
USING NOTESTEAD WILL PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR BUSINESS, MARKETING, FINANCIAL, OR OTHER RESULT.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THESE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

25. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE INTENTIONAL COMPANY, NOTESTEAD, AND THEIR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO NOTESTEAD OR THESE TERMS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO NOTESTEAD OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO NOTESTEAD DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR
ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT A LOSS MAY OCCUR.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THESE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

26. Your responsibility for claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Intentional Company, NoteStead, and their owners, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from:

your unlawful use of NoteStead;
your material violation of these Terms;
your content;
your infringement or violation of another person’s rights; or
your publication, distribution, or other use of content or output in violation of applicable law or third-party rights.

We will provide reasonable notice of a covered claim and allow you to participate in its defense.

You may not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by or imposes obligations on us without our written consent.

27. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

This choice of law does not remove any consumer protection rights that applicable law does not allow you to waive.

28. Venue and disputes

Before filing a formal legal claim, you and NoteStead agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

To begin that process, contact: sal@theintentional.co

Your notice should describe the issue and the resolution you are seeking.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, and unless applicable law requires otherwise, any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or NoteStead will be brought in the state or federal courts with jurisdiction over the county in Georgia where The Intentional Company maintains its principal place of business.

You and NoteStead consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking appropriate emergency or injunctive relief when legally available.

29. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as NoteStead changes.

When we do, we will update the Last updated date and Version at the top.

If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide additional notice when reasonably appropriate or required by law.

For material changes, that notice may include:

an in-product notice;
an email;
a notice when you next sign in; or
a request that you affirmatively accept updated Terms.

Changes will apply prospectively from the effective date stated with the updated Terms.

Your continued use of NoteStead after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms where permitted by applicable law.

If applicable law requires affirmative consent to a particular change, we will seek that consent.

30. General terms

Entire agreement

These Terms and the Privacy Policy, together with any additional terms expressly presented for a specific feature, plan, trial, or promotional offer, form the agreement between you and NoteStead regarding the service.

No waiver

If we do not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

Severability

If a provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

Assignment

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, change of control, or transfer of the NoteStead business, subject to applicable law.

No partnership or agency

These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, franchise, or agency relationship between you and NoteStead.

Headings

Section headings are included for convenience and do not limit the meaning of these Terms.
