Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Surge mobile app, web app, and related services (collectively, the "Service") provided by [Company Legal Name] ("Surge", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use the Service. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.

2. The Service

Surge helps you capture, organize, and act on tasks using AI-assisted features such as voice brain dumps, automatic task structuring, time estimates, focus sessions, and integrations with third-party AI assistants.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We will give reasonable notice of material changes that adversely affect your use of the Service.

3. Your content

You retain all rights to the content you create or submit through the Service ("Your Content"), including brain dumps, tasks, notes, and recordings.

You grant Surge a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, process, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Service for you. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except to the extent we are legally required to retain certain information.

You represent that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Your Content does not violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
• Upload content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or harmful
• Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Service or its security
• Use the Service to build a competing product or train a machine learning model
• Resell or sublicense the Service without our written permission
• Use automated means to access the Service in ways that exceed normal usage

5. AI features and accuracy

Surge uses artificial intelligence to organize, summarize, and suggest content. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation. You are responsible for reviewing AI output before relying on it. Do not use Surge for tasks where errors could cause significant harm without independent verification.

6. Third-party integrations

The Service may let you connect to third-party AI assistants and other tools. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or any data you choose to share with them through the Service.

7. Subscriptions, fees, and refunds

Some features may require a paid subscription. Pricing, billing intervals, and refund policies will be presented at the point of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and content (other than Your Content), is owned by Surge and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, the licenses you grant under these Terms end, and we will delete or anonymize Your Content as described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or trade usage. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that AI output will be accurate.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Surge and its directors, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or relating to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Surge from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Your State / Country], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the courts located in [County, State / Country], and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there.

15. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Surge regarding the Service.
