Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-09-02 Last updated: 2026-09-02

⚠️ Beta — pending legal review. This document is a draft provided for transparency during our beta. It is under review by legal counsel and may change before general availability.

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "your", or the "User") and 1600978 B.C. LTD., a company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and carrying on business as Oghmere, with a registered office at Suite 1008, 3003 Grandview Hwy, Unit 1, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5M 2E4 ("Oghmere", "we", "us", or "our").

The Terms govern your access to and use of the Oghmere platform, including our websites at www.oghmere.com, app.oghmere.com, and any related applications, APIs, and services we provide (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

TL;DR — the short version

This summary is provided for convenience only. It is not a legal document and does not replace the full Terms below, which govern in case of any conflict.

  • Your work is yours. You keep full ownership of your content and of anything the AI generates for you. We claim no ownership. (§3)
  • We take only what we need to run the Service. A narrow, revocable permission to host your content, process it with AI when you ask, and publish or share it — only when you tell us to. (§3.2–3.4)
  • We won't sell your content, or use it to train any AI model — ours or anyone else's. The one exception is the optional research/search feature: text you submit to it goes to a third-party search provider that may train on it — opt-in only, and it changes nothing for the rest of Your Content. (§3.3)
  • You control what's public. Sharing and distribution happen only at your direction, and you can turn them off. (§3.4)
  • We measure how the Service is used — pages and features opened, whether a prompt was acted on — to operate and improve it. No advertising, no selling your data, no tracking you across other companies' sites. (§12.1, Privacy §2h/§9)
  • AI can be wrong. Review AI output before relying on or publishing it — it isn't professional advice. (§5)
  • Play fair. Don't upload illegal or infringing content, or abuse the Service or Credits. (§4)
  • Plans have limits. Each plan caps how many projects you can have and how much you can store; the current limits are on our pricing page. At the limit your account keeps working and nothing is deleted — it just stops growing. (§7, AUP §4)
  • We don't delete your work on a schedule. There is no retention window today, and we don't trim your revision history to save space. If that ever changes we'll give you notice in advance and it will only apply going forward. An account left unused for two years is the one standing exception — we'll email you at least three times first. (§8.4, §14, AUP §4)
  • Payments. Paid Credits go through Stripe and are non-refundable except where BC/Canadian consumer law requires. There's a free tier with signup Credits. (§6)
  • Age 13+. If you're under the age of majority (19 in BC), you need a parent or guardian's consent. (§2.1)
  • BC law governs, with disputes heard in Vancouver, British Columbia. (§13)
  • We can update these Terms and will give you reasonable notice of material changes. (§14)

1. Definitions

  • "Content" means any text, manuscripts, notes, prompts, files, images, metadata, and other material that you create, upload, submit, or generate through the Service.
  • "Your Content" means Content that you provide to, or create using, the Service.
  • "AI Output" means Content generated or derived by artificial-intelligence models made available through the Service in response to Your Content or your instructions.
  • "Credits" means the prepaid units used to access certain paid, inference-based features of the Service.
  • "Third-Party Services" means the services, infrastructure, analytics, and AI providers we rely on to operate the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility and accounts

2.1 Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your province, state, or country of residence (19 in British Columbia), you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. We may refuse, restrict, or terminate access where we reasonably believe a user does not meet these requirements.

2.2 Account registration. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep it current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at legal@oghmere.com if you suspect unauthorized use.

2.3 One person, one account. Accounts are for a single identified individual or authorized entity, unless we agree otherwise in writing.

3. Your Content and intellectual property

This section is the heart of our commitment to you: your work is yours.

3.1 You own Your Content. As between you and us, you retain all right, title, and interest — including all intellectual property rights — in and to Your Content. We do not claim, and these Terms do not transfer to us, any ownership of Your Content or of any AI Output you generate.

3.2 Limited licence you grant to us. To operate the Service and do the things you ask it to do, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, back up, reproduce, transmit, technically adapt and reformat, and display Your Content — solely to the extent necessary to:

(a) provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you; (b) process Your Content through AI models and other Third-Party Services at your direction, to generate AI Output; and (c) publish, share, and distribute Your Content only when and to the extent you instruct us to — for example, by creating a public share page or link, or by exporting or distributing Your Content to a third-party destination you select.

3.3 Scope and limits of the licence. The licence in Section 3.2:

  • is limited to the purposes described above and to operating the Service;
  • does not permit us to sell Your Content, license it to unrelated third parties for their own purposes, or use it to build or train any AI model — whether ours or anyone else's;
  • continues only for as long as Your Content remains on the Service (plus a limited period for backups and legal compliance as described in the Privacy Policy); and
  • is sublicensable only to our Third-Party Services acting on our behalf, and only to the extent needed to deliver the features you use.

One bounded exception — the research/search surface. The optional research feature works by sending the text you submit to it to a third-party web-search provider (identified in the Privacy Policy) whose terms permit that provider to use and train AI models on what it receives. This exception is limited to what you submit to the research/search surface and to that surface alone; it is off unless you choose it, and it operates under a separate, express, revocable consent. It does not enlarge the licence above for any other Content or feature: your manuscripts and all other Your Content remain subject to the limits in this Section — we do not sell them, license them to unrelated third parties for their own purposes, or use them to build or train any AI model, whether ours or anyone else's — and using research never weakens that position over the rest of Your Content.

3.4 Publishing and sharing on your behalf. Some features let you make Your Content publicly accessible (for example, share pages or links) or send it to third-party platforms. When you use these features, you authorize us to publish, transmit, and display the relevant Content as directed. You control what is shared, with whom, and for how long, and you can revoke public access using the controls we provide. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to publish and distribute anything you make public.

3.5 AI Output. Subject to Section 3.6 and to the terms of the underlying AI providers, we do not claim ownership of AI Output generated from Your Content. Because AI Output may be generated by shared models, similar or identical output may be produced for other users, and AI Output may not be eligible for certain intellectual-property protections. You are responsible for reviewing AI Output before relying on or publishing it.

3.6 Feedback. If you send us suggestions or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use it without restriction or obligation to you. This applies to feedback only, not to Your Content.

3.7 Our intellectual property. The Service itself — including our software, design, trademarks, and brand — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any rights in our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service under these Terms.

3.8 Community Showcase (public user content). The Service includes a Community Showcase where you may choose to publish Your Content to a shared, public space that other users — and, for public pages, anyone with the link — can read and interact with. Publishing to the Showcase is optional and entirely at your direction; nothing you create is made public unless you choose to publish it.

(a) You keep ownership. Publishing to the Showcase does not change Section 3.1 — Your Content remains yours. You grant us the licence in Section 3.2 to display and distribute it publicly for as long as you keep it published, and to other users to view and interact with it through the Service. (b) Your responsibility. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to publish what you publish, for how you label it (including content warnings and maturity ratings), and for complying with the Acceptable Use & AI Policy, which governs conduct and prohibited content in the Showcase. (c) Feedback from others. Other users may leave feedback, reviews, or votes on work you publish. You can control who may leave feedback and may remove or hide feedback on your own work. (d) Moderation. We may remove, hide, or delist Showcase Content or author profiles, suspend publishing, or restrict accounts in accordance with the Acceptable Use & AI Policy and Section 8. Content may be temporarily hidden automatically pending review when multiple users report it. Where practical and lawful, you may appeal a moderation decision on your own work. (e) Public means public. Content you publish publicly may be seen, copied, and shared by others, and public pages may be accessible outside the Service. Removing or unpublishing Content stops further distribution by us but may not undo copies others have already made.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit anyone to:

(a) use the Service to create, store, or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or that violates the rights of others; (b) upload content you do not have the rights to use, publish, or distribute; (c) use the Service to generate or distribute child sexual abuse material, content that sexualizes minors, or other content prohibited by law; (d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems, or interfere with or disrupt the Service; (e) reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the Service except as permitted by law or with our written consent; (f) misuse Credits or circumvent usage, rate, or anti-abuse limits, including creating multiple accounts to obtain free Credits; or (g) use the Service in violation of applicable laws or the terms of our Third-Party Services.

We may investigate suspected violations and take appropriate action, including removing content and suspending or terminating accounts.

5. AI features and disclaimers

5.1 How AI features work. Certain features process Your Content using third-party AI models. As described in the Privacy Policy, this means Your Content may be transmitted to and processed by AI providers, which may operate outside Canada (including in the United States).

5.2 No guarantee of accuracy. AI Output is generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or unsuitable for your purposes. It is not professional advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating AI Output and for any decisions you make or content you publish based on it.

6. Credits, billing, and payments

6.1 Free tier. We currently offer a free tier that includes general, non-inference features and a one-time allocation of signup Credits (for example, 150 Credits). Free-tier features and allocations may change over time.

6.2 Credits. Inference-based features are accessed using Credits. Credits are a limited, revocable licence to use paid features; they have no cash value, are not a stored-value or gift-card instrument, cannot be exchanged for money, and may not be transferred or resold. We may set expiry, per-account limits, and anti-abuse controls on Credits.

6.3 Payments. Paid Credits and subscriptions are processed by our payment processor, Stripe. By purchasing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your selected payment method. We do not store full payment-card numbers. Prices are shown in the currency indicated at checkout and may exclude applicable taxes, which you are responsible for.

6.4 No refunds. Except where a refund is required by applicable law (including the British Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act), all purchases of Credits and subscriptions are final and non-refundable, and Credits are non-transferable. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you have under BC or Canadian law.

6.5 Changes to pricing. We may change our prices, Credit rates, and plan features on a prospective basis. Changes will not affect Credits you have already purchased.

7. Service availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We aim to provide reasonable notice of material changes but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. We may impose usage limits to protect the Service and its users, including per-plan limits on the number of projects you may create and the amount of data you may store. The limits in effect for each plan are published on our pricing page and may change on a prospective basis under Section 6.5; the Acceptable Use & AI Policy describes how they apply and what happens when an account reaches a limit.

8. Suspension and termination

8.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 6.4, 9, 10, 11, and 13) will survive.

8.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if required by law, to protect the Service or other users, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practical and lawful, we will give you notice and an opportunity to export Your Content.

8.3 Effect. On termination, your licence to use the Service ends. We will handle Your Content in accordance with the Privacy Policy, including deletion and backup-retention practices described there.

8.4 Dormant accounts. If an account has been inactive for two (2) years — no sign-in and no other use of the Service — we may close it and delete Your Content stored in it. Before we do, we will make at least three attempts to reach you at the email address on the account, over a period of at least 60 days, telling you how to keep the account and how to export Your Content, and we will not delete anything sooner than 30 days after the final notice. Signing in at any time before deletion cancels it. Apart from this and from deletion you ask us for, we do not currently delete Your Content, or trim your revision history, on any schedule to reclaim storage. We may introduce retention limits in the future; if we do, we will give reasonable advance notice under Section 14, and any limit will apply prospectively so that you have the opportunity to export Your Content or change plans before it takes effect (AUP Section 4.3).

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that AI Output will be accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

10.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or content, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) CAD $100.

10.3 Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, or your non-waivable rights as a consumer under BC and Canadian law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Oghmere and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, and reasonable expenses (including legal fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defence.

12. Third-party services

The Service relies on and may link to Third-Party Services (including hosting, database, AI, payment, email, and analytics providers described in the Privacy Policy). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.

12.1 Measurement. We measure how the Service is used — which pages and features are opened, and whether something we showed you was acted on — so that we can operate and improve it. We do not use your information for third-party advertising, we do not sell it, and we do not track you across other companies' websites. Our public website performs this measurement without setting any analytics cookie or identifier. What is collected, by whom, and how to opt out are described in Privacy Policy Section 2h and Section 9.

13. Governing law and disputes

13.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them or the Service are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

13.2 Venue. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of your place of residence.

13.3 Informal resolution. Before starting a formal proceeding, please contact us at legal@oghmere.com so we can try to resolve the matter.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email or in-Service notice) before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

15. General

15.1 Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on the subject.

15.2 Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary.

15.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

15.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, on notice to you.

15.5 Notices. We may provide notices to you by email or in-Service. You may contact us at legal@oghmere.com or Suite 1008, 3003 Grandview Hwy, Unit 1, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5M 2E4.

15.6 Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
