By accessing DontBuildThat ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, then you're probably the type of person who builds another todo app and wonders why it doesn't sell.
DontBuildThat provides market intelligence data and APIs to help entrepreneurs avoid building businesses that are doomed to fail. We scrape business marketplaces, analyze failure patterns, and serve you the brutal truth about market saturation.
We are not financial advisors. We're just really good at telling you when your idea sucks.
Don't try to abuse our API. We monitor usage and will suspend accounts that exceed fair use. Yes, we can tell the difference between legitimate use and you trying to download our entire database.
Paid plans are billed monthly in advance. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your billing period. No refunds for partial months, but honestly, our API costs less than your daily coffee habit.
Failed payments result in immediate service suspension. We're not a bank.
We work hard to provide accurate market data, but we're not perfect. Market conditions change faster than crypto prices. Use our data as guidance, not gospel.
We are not liable if you ignore our "AVOID" recommendation and build it anyway.That's on you, chief.

DontBuildThat is not liable for any damages arising from your use of our service. This includes but is not limited to:
We collect minimal data about you. See our Privacy Policy for details. We don't sell your data because we're not Facebook.
We may update these Terms occasionally. We'll notify you of major changes via email or through our service. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.

We'll respond faster than your last startup idea failed.
