Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of adytum.agency, the Adytum apps (free and paid), and the Crafted services. They are an agreement between you and Better Together Branding LLC ("Adytum", "we", "us").
The short version: Use Adytum tools to build your own business — not to abuse them, scrape them, or compete with them as a copy. Free tools are rate-limited; paid tiers unlock more. Crafted services come with a 14-day revision window. We're not responsible for huge consequences if our scan misses an issue — read the rest for the formal version.
1. Acceptance
By visiting adytum.agency, using any Adytum app, or purchasing any Crafted service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service. If you're using Adytum on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. What we provide
Adytum is a portfolio of tools and services for founders and operators:
- Free apps — A11yScan, PitchScore, BrandCheck (launching), TaglineGen (launching), EmailRoaster (launching), FounderProfile (launching), OperatorChat (free + paid tiers). Each has rate limits (e.g., 1 use per email per week).
- Adytum Plus — $29/mo subscription unlocking unlimited usage and paid features across all apps.
- Adytum Studio — $99/mo subscription adding agency/team features (multi-seat, white-label, API).
- Crafted services — one-time done-for-you deliverables (One-Pager, Pitch Deck, Brand Kit, Founder Set) built by an Adytum designer.
3. Account and access
Most free apps require only an email — no account creation. Paid subscriptions (Plus, Studio) will require an account once that flow launches. Crafted services capture order details at checkout via Squarespace.
You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account (when one exists). Notify us promptly of any unauthorized access.
4. Free tier — fair use and limits
Free apps are provided as-is, with the following understood limits:
- Per-email rate limits (e.g., 1 scan/URL/week for A11yScan; 1 score/email/week for PitchScore). These are enforced server-side.
- Per-IP rate limits (5 uses per IP per day across all apps).
- Business email requirement. We block consumer email providers (gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc.) and disposable email addresses to limit abuse.
- CAPTCHA challenge. Some free uses require passing a Cloudflare Turnstile check.
You agree not to:
- Bypass or attempt to bypass the rate limits, CAPTCHA, or other anti-abuse controls.
- Use bots, scrapers, or automated tooling to call our APIs directly.
- Re-sell Adytum's free apps or pass them off as your own.
- Use the AI-generated output to train a competing AI model or service.
We may suspend or block accounts or IPs that violate these limits.
5. Paid subscriptions (Plus, Studio)
Plus and Studio are recurring monthly subscriptions billed via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize automatic billing on each renewal date until you cancel.
- Pricing: $29/mo for Plus, $99/mo for Studio. Founding-member pricing locks in for 12 months after launch.
- Cancellation: cancel anytime via your account settings. You retain access through the end of the current billing period.
- Refunds: pro-rated refunds are not standard for monthly subscriptions; we may offer them at our discretion for technical failures or service interruptions.
- Price changes: we'll notify you 30 days in advance of any price increase. Existing subscribers' rates are protected for the founding-member period.
6. Crafted services
Crafted services (One-Pager, Pitch Deck, Brand Kit, Founder Set) are one-time, done-for-you projects.
- Delivery timing starts when your intake form is submitted (5 business days for One-Pager, 7 for Pitch Deck, 10 for Brand Kit, 14 for Founder Set).
- 3 alternates are delivered for each Crafted deliverable.
- Revision window: 14 days from delivery for free revisions.
- Refund policy: full refund before intake submission. After intake, see our Refund Policy for details.
- IP ownership: you own the final delivered files. Adytum retains the right to use the work in our portfolio unless you opt out at intake.
7. Intellectual property
7.1 Your content
You retain ownership of:
- URLs you submit to scanning apps
- PDFs you upload to PitchScore (we never store these)
- Briefs, text, and other inputs you provide
- Final delivered Crafted assets
7.2 Our content
Adytum retains ownership of:
- The Adytum brand, name, and visual identity
- The Adytum app code, infrastructure, and methodology
- Templates, design systems, and proprietary frameworks used internally
- Aggregate, anonymized data about app usage (for improving the service)
7.3 AI-generated output
Output generated by the AI portions of our apps (scoring summaries, taglines, etc.) is provided to you for your use. You may use, modify, and republish such output. Adytum makes no claim of copyright on AI-generated text. However:
- You should review AI-generated content for accuracy before relying on it.
- You acknowledge that AI may produce content similar to outputs generated for other users — we don't guarantee uniqueness.
- Don't use AI-generated content in ways that would mislead investors, regulators, or customers about its origin.
8. No warranty — particularly for accessibility and pitch scoring
This section matters. The most common dispute we anticipate is "I trusted your scan and got sued anyway" or "I trusted your score and didn't raise."
Adytum apps are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE". We make no guarantee that:
- A11yScan will catch every accessibility issue. It scans static HTML against a defined ruleset. Dynamic content, JavaScript-rendered pages, and edge cases may produce false negatives. Adytum is not your lawyer, your ADA defense, or your accessibility expert. Treat A11yScan results as a starting point, not an audit certification.
- PitchScore predicts investment outcomes. The score is a directional signal. Real investors care about things AI can't measure — relationships, timing, momentum, vibes. Don't decline raising because we said 41/100, and don't assume 95/100 means you're funded.
- BrandCheck reflects every brand principle that matters to you. Our voice and visual checks are based on general best practices; your brand may intentionally violate them.
- Apps will be available without interruption. Hosting failures, API outages, and maintenance windows happen.
Use AI-generated content responsibly. Verify critical claims independently.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Better Together Branding LLC's total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to Adytum (free apps, paid subscriptions, or Crafted services) shall not exceed the greater of:
- $100; or
- The total amount you paid Adytum in the 6 months preceding the claim.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including (without limitation) lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption — even if we knew or should have known such damages were possible.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations. If yours doesn't, the limitations above apply to the extent permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify Better Together Branding LLC, its officers, employees, and contractors against claims arising from:
- Your misuse of Adytum apps or services
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any third party's rights (intellectual property, privacy, etc.) in content you submit to Adytum
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to Adytum at any time, with or without notice, for any reason (including abuse, non-payment, or violation of these Terms).
You may stop using Adytum at any time. Paid subscriptions remain active through the end of the current billing period after cancellation. Crafted services in progress are governed by the Refund Policy.
Surviving sections (IP, limitations of liability, indemnification, governing law) survive termination.
12. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State where Better Together Branding LLC is registered (currently the United States), without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes (changes to pricing structure, IP terms, liability limits) will be notified via email to subscribers and via banner on the site for at least 30 days. Continued use of Adytum after a change constitutes acceptance.
