Terms of Service

Use profiles as thinking tools, not authority.

MindShelf is designed to help people inspect public thinking systems and apply them to their own saved notes. It does not replace professional judgment or source verification. Last reviewed: May 17, 2026.

01

Educational use

MindShelf creates educational syntheses from public or user-provided materials. Outputs are study artifacts, not official statements, endorsements, or first-person simulations.

02

User responsibility

You are responsible for the sources you submit, the decisions you make, and the way you use generated material. Verify important facts before relying on any output.

03

Acceptable use

Do not use MindShelf to impersonate people, create deceptive endorsements, publish misleading claims, or generate high-risk personalized advice in legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical contexts.

04

Subscriptions

Paid plans may include monthly report credits, Ask credits, and trial periods. Plan details are shown at checkout before a subscription begins. PayPal manages recurring billing and cancellation; cancel in PayPal before renewal to stop future charges. Cancellation does not automatically refund the current or past billing period.

05

Credits and failed generation

A completed report, including a report with limited evidence, uses the confirmed report credit. If generation fails before a report is saved, MindShelf is configured to return the reserved credit automatically.

06

Generated output

AI output can be incomplete or wrong. MindShelf should preserve evidence, uncertainty, and boundaries so users can inspect where a report is strong or weak.

07

Refund and support

Refund requests for duplicate charges, failed access after confirmed payment, clear billing mistakes, or legal requirements are reviewed through the support email listed on the site. Money refunds are processed through PayPal; MindShelf credit corrections are handled inside the product.

08

Changes

These terms may change as the product evolves. Material changes should be surfaced clearly to users.
