Terms of service

Last updated:

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using IdeaKiller (ideakiller.app), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the service.

2. Description of Service

IdeaKiller is an AI-powered business idea validation tool. You submit a business idea, and our system analyzes market demand, competition, problem-fit, and unit economics to produce a validation report with a GO/NO-GO verdict.

The same service is also available as an API (REST and MCP) for software and AI agents. The API validates ideas and finds available domain names for a product. API keys are anonymous and are paid from a prepaid balance in US dollars.

The service is provided "as is." Validation reports are AI-generated assessments and should not be treated as professional business, financial, or legal advice. Always conduct your own due diligence before making business decisions.

3. Accounts

You must sign in with a Google account to use the service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us if you suspect unauthorized use.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in abusive behavior.

4. Credits and Payments

IdeaKiller operates on a credit-based system. Each validation costs one credit. Credits are purchased through our payment provider, Creem.

  • Credits are non-transferable between accounts
  • Purchased credits do not expire
  • All prices are in USD and include applicable taxes as determined by Creem
  • Creem acts as the Merchant of Record for all transactions

API balance. API keys use a prepaid balance in USD, topped up through Creem ($20, $50 or $100). Each API call takes its listed price from the balance: $0.20 for a light validation, $0.50 for a full validation, $0.20 for a domain search. Current prices are on the pricing page. The balance does not expire and cannot be moved to another key. Keep your key safe: anyone with the key can spend its balance.

5. Refund Policy

Because validation reports are generated instantly and cannot be "un-delivered," we generally do not offer refunds for used credits. However:

  • If a validation fails due to a technical error on our end, we will restore the credit
  • Unused credit packages may be refunded within 14 days of purchase by contacting us at support@ideakiller.app
  • If an API call fails or is rejected before any work, its price goes back to the API balance automatically
  • An unused API balance may be refunded within 14 days of the top-up; send the order number from the Creem receipt to [email protected]

We answer support requests within 3 business days.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the service for any illegal purpose
  • Submit content that is harmful, threatening, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or exploit the service or its AI models
  • Circumvent rate limits or abuse the service through automated means
  • Resell or redistribute validation reports commercially without permission
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IDEAKILLER AND ITS OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless IdeaKiller and its operator from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

11. Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the service (or any part of it) at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes in advance.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable law. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first, and if necessary, through the courts of competent jurisdiction.
