Terms of service

The agreement between you and Terman Solutions, Inc. for using the Terman AI website and platform.

Last updated: October 4, 2026

Draft for counsel review. This page is not yet in effect. Highlighted items must be confirmed before it is published.

1. The agreement

These terms are a contract between you and Terman Solutions, Inc. ("Terman", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Terman AI website or platform (the "Service"), you agree to them. If you use the Service for an organization, you agree on its behalf and confirm you have authority to do so.

If your organization has a signed agreement with us, that agreement controls where it differs from these terms.

2. What the Service is, and is not

The Service is software that helps you prepare patent application materials using artificial intelligence.

Terman is not a law firm and does not practice law. The Service does not give legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship with Terman. Nothing in the Service is a substitute for the judgment of a registered patent attorney or agent. See our AI and legal notice.

3. Accounts and eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract.
  • Keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.
  • Tell us promptly at rciesco@termanai.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
  • Each account is for one named person unless your plan says otherwise.

4. Plans, fees and renewals

Paid plans are billed in advance, through Stripe, at the price shown when you order.

  • Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period, at the then-current price, and your payment method is charged on each renewal date until you turn renewal off.
  • Turning renewal off. You can turn off automatic renewal at any time in your account settings. Your plan then stays active until the end of the period you have paid for and does not renew.
  • Fees are non-refundable except where the law requires or these terms say otherwise.
  • We may change prices for a future period with at least 30 days' notice.
  • Fees do not include taxes, which you are responsible for.

5. Your content

"Customer Content" means what you upload or enter and the output the Service generates for you.

  • You own it. As between you and Terman, you keep all rights in your inputs, and we assign to you any rights we may have in the output generated for you.
  • Limited license to us. You give us permission to host, process and display Customer Content only as needed to provide and secure the Service for you.
  • No training on your content. [Confirm: We will not use Customer Content to train or fine-tune AI models made available to other customers].
  • Similar output. Because of how AI works, other users may receive output that resembles yours when they provide similar input. We make no claim that output is unique.
  • Your promises. You confirm you have the right to upload your inputs and that doing so does not breach a duty you owe to anyone else.

6. Confidentiality

We will treat Customer Content as your confidential information. We will:

  • use it only to provide the Service to you;
  • not disclose it to anyone except service providers bound by written confidentiality obligations, or where the law requires; and
  • protect it with at least the care we use for our own confidential information, and no less than reasonable care.

We do not publish Customer Content or make it available to other customers. If the law requires us to disclose it, we will tell you first where we are allowed to, so you can seek protection.

These obligations continue after your account closes.

7. AI output

Output is generated by AI and can be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for your purpose. It may state things that are false, cite sources that do not exist, or miss relevant prior art.

  • You must review, verify and edit all output before you rely on it or file it.
  • A prior art search in the Service is not exhaustive and is not a patentability or freedom-to-operate opinion.
  • We do not promise that any application prepared with the Service will be granted, or that any patent will be valid or enforceable.

8. Your responsibilities

You, and any registered practitioner you work with, remain fully responsible for everything you file. That includes:

  • naming the correct inventors, who must be natural persons;
  • the duty of candor and good faith and any signature certifications owed to a patent office;
  • meeting filing deadlines and paying fees;
  • professional duties you owe your own clients, including confidentiality and competence; and
  • complying with the laws that apply to you.

The Service does not file documents with any patent office on your behalf. It prepares materials for you to review and submit yourself.

9. Acceptable use

You agree to follow our acceptable use policy. In short: do not misuse the Service, attack it, copy it, or use it to break the law.

10. Export control and restricted data

The Service is not designed for certain kinds of information. Do not upload:

  • classified information, or material subject to a secrecy order;
  • technical data controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or controlled under the Export Administration Regulations in a way that restricts access by our personnel or providers, unless we have agreed to this in writing; or
  • protected health information, payment card numbers or government ID numbers.

You are responsible for export control and foreign filing license compliance for your inventions. You may not use the Service if you are located in, or are a national of, a country under United States embargo, or are on a United States restricted-party list.

11. Our intellectual property and your feedback

We and our licensors own the Service, including its software, models, design and trademarks. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service during your subscription. TERMAN AI and T-Ai are trademarks of Terman Solutions, Inc.

If you send us suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you. Feedback never includes your Customer Content.

12. Third-party services

The Service may link to or draw on third-party sources, such as public patent databases. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or availability.

13. Beta features

Features labeled beta or preview are provided as is, may change or end at any time, and are excluded from any service commitment.

14. Term, suspension and termination

  • You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time.
  • We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms, if your use creates a security or legal risk, or if fees are overdue by more than 15 days. We will give notice where we reasonably can.
  • After your account closes we keep your Customer Content for 24 months. During that time you may reactivate your account or ask us for an export, and you may ask us to delete it sooner. We then delete it as described in our privacy policy.
  • Sections that by their nature should survive, including confidentiality, disclaimers, limits of liability and governing law, survive termination.

15. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, TERMAN DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, PATENTABLE OR FREE OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.

16. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS:

  • NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE OR LOSS OF PATENT RIGHTS, EVEN IF TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE.
  • GENERAL CAP. TERMAN'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 24 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND USD 500.
  • HIGHER CAP FOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY. FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OUR BREACH OF SECTION 6 (CONFIDENTIALITY) OR FROM A SECURITY INCIDENT CAUSED BY OUR FAILURE TO USE REASONABLE SAFEGUARDS, THE LIMIT IS INSTEAD THE GREATER OF THREE TIMES THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND USD 5,000.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law.

17. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify Terman against third-party claims and related costs arising from your Customer Content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of law, except to the extent caused by our own breach.

18. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, and each party consents to that venue.

Before filing a claim, each party will try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute informally after written notice.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here and, for material changes, give account holders at least 30 days' notice. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the changes. If you do not agree, you may cancel before they take effect.

20. General

  • Entire agreement. These terms, the policies they link to and any order form are the whole agreement about the Service.
  • Severability. If one part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our consent. We may assign them to a successor to our business.
  • No waiver. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
  • Government users. The Service is commercial computer software provided with only the rights in these terms.
  • Notices. We may notify you by email or in the Service. Send legal notices to Terman Solutions, Inc., 30 N Gould Street, Sheridan, WY 82801, with a copy to rciesco@termanai.com.
