DRAFT — for counsel review only. Not a final, published document.


1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and What Would Dad Say LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the website located at https://whatwoulddadsay.app (the "Site") or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or Service.


2. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement; and (c) your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

{{TODO: COPPA / minor-user scope is unconfirmed — see product-overview.md. If the Service will be accessible to or directed at users under 18, or will allow adults to create content that involves or depicts minors, this section must be revised in consultation with counsel before publication.}}


3. Description of the Service

{{TODO: Insert product description from product-overview.md once populated. The product-overview.md is entirely TODO as of 2026-04-25. This section must be completed before the Terms can be published.}}

The Service is provided in beta / pre-launch form. Features described on the Site are subject to change without notice prior to general availability.


4. Accounts and waitlist

The Site currently collects email addresses for a pre-launch waitlist ("Waitlist"). By submitting your email address:

(a) you consent to receive pre-launch updates and communications from us; (b) you represent that the email address is yours and that you are authorized to provide it; and (c) you may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send or by contacting us at legal@whatwoulddadsay.app.

Placement on the Waitlist does not guarantee access to the Service.


5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

(a) use the Site or Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or Service, or to any system or network connected to the Site; (c) transmit any content that is infringing, defamatory, obscene, harassing, threatening, or otherwise objectionable; (d) use automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access or collect content from the Site without our express written permission; (e) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Site or Service; (f) impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity; or (g) upload, transmit, or otherwise make available any content that contains viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.

{{TODO: Expand acceptable-use restrictions once the product description and feature set in product-overview.md are complete. In particular, if the product allows users to create or distribute AI-generated audio or video in the likeness of a real person (living or deceased), the acceptable-use section must address right-of-publicity, consent, and synthetic-media restrictions.}}


6. Intellectual property

6.1 Our property

The Site and its entire contents, features, and functionality — including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof — are owned by the Company, its licensors, or other providers of such material, and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Site for your personal, non-commercial purposes.

6.3 Feedback

If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and incorporate the Feedback into our products and services without any obligation to you.


7. User-generated content

{{TODO: This section is a placeholder. It must be materially expanded once the authenticated product is launched and users can upload, record, or otherwise generate content. Key issues to address include: (a) license grant from users to the Company; (b) user representations regarding ownership and consent of third-party subjects in recordings; (c) takedown / DMCA procedure; (d) AI-training restrictions if applicable; (e) right-of-publicity implications for content depicting real persons.}}

8a. AI training

We do not use your personal data, conversations, or content to train, fine-tune, or pre-train AI models, nor do we use your stored personal content as retrieval context to generate responses for other users. If we ever decide to change this practice, we will update these Terms and notify you before any such use begins, so that you have the opportunity to opt out or close your account.

Human safety review: Conversations or outputs may be reviewed by trained human reviewers for safety, fraud, or legal-compliance purposes. This review is not AI model training. See our Privacy Policy for details.
