These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you ("you" or "user") and [Company legal name] ("Prompt Bank," "we," "us," or "our"), a company organized under the laws of [Jurisdiction], governing your access to and use of the Prompt Bank website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, browsing, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Prompt Bank Is

Prompt Bank is a curated library of AI-generation prompts (for images and video) paired with example outputs, aggregated from publicly available creator content. We help users discover, save, and copy prompts to use with third-party AI generation tools. Prompt Bank does not generate images or video itself, is not affiliated with any AI model provider mentioned in prompt content, and does not guarantee that any prompt will reproduce the example output shown, since AI model behavior varies by tool, version, and settings.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

2.1 Age. You must be at least [13/16/18 — confirm minimum age per jurisdiction] years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm you have permission from a parent or guardian.

2.2 Account registration. Browsing the public catalog does not require an account. To copy prompts, save favorites, or subscribe to a paid plan, you must create an account with a valid email address.

2.3 Accurate information. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it up to date.

2.4 Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at [contact email] if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

2.5 One account per person. Accounts are personal to you and may not be shared, sold, or transferred without our written consent.

3. Subscription Plans, Billing, and Lemon Squeezy

3.1 Plans. Prompt Bank offers a free tier and paid subscription tier(s) (currently $7.99/month, or $4.99/month billed annually), each subject to the usage limits described in Section 4. Plan names, pricing, and features may change; we will make reasonable efforts to notify subscribers of material changes before they take effect.

3.2 Merchant of Record. All payments, invoicing, sales tax/VAT collection and remittance, and payment-related customer support for paid subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy (or its affiliated entity) as the merchant of record. This means that when you subscribe, you are entering into a purchase transaction with Lemon Squeezy, not directly with [Company legal name], for billing purposes. Lemon Squeezy's own terms of service and privacy policy govern the payment transaction itself; see [Lemon Squeezy Terms link — placeholder] and [Lemon Squeezy Privacy Policy link — placeholder].

3.3 Automatic renewal. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annually, as selected) until cancelled. You authorize Lemon Squeezy to charge your chosen payment method on each renewal.

3.4 Cancellation. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or by contacting [contact email]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; you will retain paid-tier access until that date. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial billing periods except as described in our refund practices below or as required by law.

3.5 Refunds. Refund requests are handled in accordance with our refund practices, which are administered through Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. See [Refund Policy link — placeholder] for details, or contact [contact email]. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory refund or cooling-off rights you may have under the law of your country of residence.

3.6 Price changes. We may change subscription pricing prospectively. Any price change will not affect a billing cycle you have already paid for, and we will give notice before a price change applies to your next renewal.

3.7 Taxes. Applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar charges are calculated and collected by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record, based on your billing location.

4. Copy Quotas and Fair Use

4.1 Free tier. Free accounts may copy up to 3 prompts per week, subject to a lifetime cap of 7 total copies, after which a paid subscription is required to continue copying prompts. Browsing and searching the catalog remain free and unlimited.

4.2 Paid tier. Paid subscribers may copy up to 10 prompts per day. Daily limits reset on a rolling or fixed schedule as described in-product and may be adjusted from time to time; we will make reasonable efforts to communicate materially reduced limits in advance.

4.3 Purpose of limits. These limits exist to keep the Service sustainable and to prevent bulk extraction of our curated library (see Section 5.3). We may adjust quotas, introduce new tiers, or apply temporary rate-limiting to any account we reasonably believe is being used to circumvent these limits, including through automation.

4.4 No guarantee of availability. Unused copy allowances do not roll over or carry any cash value, and are not refundable except as required by law.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit or assist any third party to:

5.1 Scrape or bulk-extract. Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, automated scripts, browser extensions, or similar tools to access, copy, index, or extract prompts, images, video clips, metadata, or any other content from the Service, in whole or in part, outside the normal interactive use of the Service through its intended interface.

5.2 Circumvent limits. Create multiple accounts, use disposable/temporary email addresses, or otherwise attempt to circumvent the copy quotas described in Section 4 or any other technical or usage restriction we impose.

5.3 Resell or republish our library. Copy, republish, redistribute, sublicense, sell, rent, or otherwise make available our curated compilation of prompts, our organization/tagging/categorization of content, or any bulk or systematic subset of our catalog, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Individual prompts you copy for your own personal use are not subject to this restriction (see Section 6.2), but the compiled library and dataset as curated by us are.

5.4 Reverse engineer. Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or underlying data structures of the Service.

5.5 Misuse the Service. Use the Service to violate any law, infringe any third party's rights, transmit malware, interfere with the Service's operation, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts.

5.6 Misrepresent attribution. Remove, obscure, or falsify creator attribution associated with a prompt, or claim authorship of a prompt or example output that is credited to another creator.

We reserve the right to detect and block scraping and automated access using technical measures (including but not limited to rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, IP blocking, and account suspension), and to pursue legal remedies for violations of this Section 5, including under applicable computer misuse, unfair competition, and database/compilation protection laws in [Jurisdiction].

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Our curation. The selection, arrangement, organization, tagging, and presentation of prompts and example content within the Service (the "Compilation") is owned by [Company legal name] and protected by copyright, database rights, and/or other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Compilation to you.

6.2 Individual prompts and example media. Prompt text and example images/clips displayed on the Service originate from third-party creators who publicly shared them (see Section 7). We do not claim ownership of individual prompt text or example media. Your license to use a prompt you copy is limited to your own personal or internal use in connection with AI generation tools; it does not include a license to redistribute that prompt as part of a competing compilation or dataset (see Section 5.3).

6.3 Our trademarks. "Prompt Bank" and associated logos are trademarks of [Company legal name]. You may not use them without our prior written permission.

6.4 Feedback. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without any obligation to you.

7. Third-Party and Creator Content; Attribution; Takedowns

7.1 Sourcing. Prompt Bank aggregates prompts and example media that were publicly posted by their creators on third-party platforms (for example, public social media posts in which a creator shared an AI generation prompt together with its output). We credit the original creator by name or handle as text alongside each item.

7.2 No endorsement. Display of a creator's name, handle, prompt, or example media on the Service does not imply that the creator endorses, is affiliated with, or has partnered with Prompt Bank.

7.3 Rights holders and removal requests. If you are a creator or rights holder and believe your content has been included without appropriate permission, is misattributed, or should otherwise be removed or corrected, please see our DMCA & Content Removal Policy at [dmca-takedown.md link — placeholder]. We are committed to responding to good-faith removal or correction requests promptly.

7.4 Not a safe-harbor platform. Unlike a platform that merely hosts content uploaded directly by its users, Prompt Bank itself selects and re-hosts example content. We do not claim protection under DMCA Section 512 "safe harbor" provisions applicable to user-generated-content platforms. Instead, we operate the content-removal process described in Section 7.3 as our mechanism for respecting creators' rights.

8. Disclaimers

8.1 "As is." THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL PROMPTS, EXAMPLE MEDIA, AND CONTENT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

8.2 No guarantee of results. We do not warrant that any prompt will produce the example output shown, that prompts are error-free, that the Service will be uninterrupted or secure, or that content is accurate, complete, or current. AI generation tool behavior is outside our control and may change over time.

8.3 Third-party AI tools. You are solely responsible for your use of prompts with any third-party AI generation tool, including compliance with that tool's terms of service, acceptable use policies, and applicable law.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (a) IN NO EVENT WILL [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (b) OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (ii) [USD 50 — placeholder amount].

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [Company legal name], its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

11. Termination

11.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via account settings or by contacting [contact email].

11.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms — including the acceptable use restrictions in Section 5 — or if we discontinue the Service.

11.3 Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13) will survive.

12. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; if we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email or an in-product notice) before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

13.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of [Jurisdiction], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.

13.2 Dispute resolution. [Placeholder — specify dispute resolution mechanism, e.g., courts of [Jurisdiction] have exclusive jurisdiction, or binding arbitration under [rules], including whether class actions are waived. To be finalized with counsel based on target markets.]

13.3 International users. The Service is offered globally. If you access the Service from outside [Jurisdiction], you are responsible for compliance with local laws, and mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your home country may apply notwithstanding this Section 13.

14. Miscellaneous

14.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Notice, and DMCA & Content Removal Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.

14.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

14.3 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision.

14.4 Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

14.5 Contact. Questions about these Terms may be sent to [contact email] or [address].
