Terms of Service

What You're Agreeing To

By using Architect, you agree to these terms. They're written in plain language because legal jargon doesn't serve anyone.

What Architect Is

Architect is a personal development tool that uses AI to help you identify patterns, reframe limiting beliefs, and build better mental models. It is not therapy, medical advice, or a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis, please contact a mental health professional or call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).

Your Account

• You need a valid email address to create an account
• You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure
• One account per person — don't share your account
• You can delete your account at any time

Your Data

You own what you create. Your beliefs, reflections, patterns, and coaching conversations belong to you. We store them to make the app work, but we don't claim ownership of your content.

See our Privacy Policy for details on how your data is stored, protected, and separated from your identity.

AI-Generated Content

Lessons, reframes, and coaching responses are generated by AI (Claude by Anthropic). While we design the prompts carefully and the AI is personalized to your context:

• AI responses are not professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or psychological)
• AI can make mistakes or give responses that don't fit your situation
• You should use your own judgment when applying anything the AI suggests
• If something feels off, trust yourself over the AI

Acceptable Use

Use Architect for personal growth. Don't use it to:

• Attempt to access other users' data
• Abuse the AI system (prompt injection, jailbreaking, etc.)
• Resell or redistribute AI-generated content commercially
• Use automated tools to scrape or bulk-access the service

Subscriptions & Payments

Architect offers free and paid tiers. Paid subscriptions may be activated via gift codes or direct payment. When payment processing is available:

• Payments are processed by Stripe — we never handle your card details
• You can cancel anytime; access continues until the end of your billing period
• Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis

Service Availability

We aim for high availability but can't guarantee 100% uptime. We may need to take the service down for maintenance, updates, or unforeseen circumstances. We'll give notice when we can.

Limitation of Liability

Architect is provided “as is.” We work hard to make it useful and safe, but we can't guarantee specific outcomes from using the app. You use Architect at your own discretion.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. Significant changes will be communicated via the app or email. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
