LaunchValid

Terms of Service

Last updated: July 25, 2026

Effective date: June 30, 2026

What changed: We described programs and pooled credits, live working sessions and the consent they require, data rooms and share links, and the responsibilities you take on when you collect data from other people. We also corrected our Google integration description and fixed cross-links.

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the LaunchValid website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by AmpFi App LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, doing business as LaunchValid (“LaunchValid,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Service includes launchvalid.com, our applications, and the founder subdomains we host on launchvalid.app, along with the visitor analytics on those pages.

By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” refers to that entity.

2. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. The Service is intended for founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals validating or launching business ideas. You may not use the Service if you are barred under applicable law or if we have suspended or terminated your account.

3. Description of the Service

LaunchValid provides:

  • AI-powered research workspace: structured business research documents, research import, comment-driven updates, and a Research Notebook with grounded chat and citations.
  • Team collaboration: project invites with role-based access (owner, editor, viewer, chat-only) and configurable source scope. On the Business plan, an account owner can also build an account team whose members create their own projects paid from the owner's shared credit pool.
  • Validation tasks: task lists and publishing to a marketplace of independent sellers.
  • Concept Design Studio: AI-generated wireframes, brand moodboards, and hi-fi prototypes for your business idea (separate from LaunchValid’s own branding).
  • Validation Studio: hosted validation pages and working built apps generated from your research and published on launchvalid.app subdomains to test real demand. These pages and apps collect visitor analytics and the leads or entries people submit, which we store for you as described in the Privacy Policy.
  • Fundraising workspace: pitch decks and data rooms that present curated fundraising documents to investors. You can share a data room through expiring share links, including for sensitive financial documents such as a cap table, and we record the viewer email and view analytics so you can see who opened the room.
  • Programs (accelerators): organizations can run application intake, AI-assisted screening, cohorts, pooled credits that fund member research, live working sessions, and alumni tracking, as described in Section 5.
  • Marketplace and payments: founders may publish tasks; sellers may bid; payments are processed through Stripe Connect with funds held until you approve deliverables.
  • Optional build quotes: custom development quotes from LaunchValid after concept approval (separate agreement may apply).

We may add, change, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

4. Accounts and security

You register and sign in only with Google (OAuth 2.0). We do not offer email and password login or other third-party login providers. You are responsible for your Google account security. Notify us promptly at hello@launchvalid.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

You must provide accurate registration information and keep it current.

5. Subscriptions, credits, and billing

5.1 Plans

Paid plans (Starter, Pro, Business) and optional credit boost purchases are billed through Stripe using hosted Checkout, the Pricing Table on our website, and the Stripe Customer Portal for subscription management. Boosts are one-time credit purchases sold in fixed sizes (500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, and 5,000 credits) at the prices shown on our website. We do not collect or store full payment card numbers on our servers. Current pricing is shown on our website and may change with notice.

5.2 Credits

AI features (research updates, notebook chat, research sync, Concept Studio generations, and comment-driven regenerations) consume credits from your plan. Credits reset monthly on paid plans according to your tier. When credits are exhausted, AI features stop until you upgrade, purchase a boost, or your next billing cycle resets your allowance. You can also enable auto top-up, which buys a boost of the size you choose automatically when your balance falls below a threshold you set. You can change or turn off auto top-up at any time.

The Free plan is a one-month trial, not an ongoing tier. It runs for 30 days from when you first created your account. After that window, AI features require a paid plan, even if some credits remain on your account. If you cancel a paid subscription, your account moves to Free: credits already on your account are not deleted, but if the trial window has passed you cannot spend them on AI features until you resubscribe. Marketplace escrow is separate from credits and is not affected by your plan.

5.3 Business team credit pool

On the Business plan you can invite team members. Projects your members create are paid for from your account's credit pool, and you are responsible for that usage. You can see the title and credit usage of each team project, and you can turn a member's ability to create projects on or off at any time. Removing a member, or a member leaving your team, stops future pooled billing for that member: their existing team projects convert to their own personal projects, and any credits already spent remain charged to your account. Team seats do not add credits; the shared pool is the limit, and you can add boost packs or turn on auto-boost to extend it.

5.4 Taxes

Prices may exclude applicable sales or use taxes, which we may collect where required.

5.5 Refunds

Subscription fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated at checkout. Credit boost purchases are non-refundable once credits are applied.

5.6 Programs and pooled credits

A program, such as an accelerator, can fund a founder's research from a shared credit pool it owns. If you join a program as a founder, the AI features you use can draw from that pool instead of your own plan, up to the limits the program sets.

  • Roles and visibility. A program has these roles, and each sees only what its role allows. A program admin runs the program and manages the pool, cohorts, and members. Reviewers see applications and the materials needed to score them. Monitors can read research sections across a cohort, but not your private notebook. Founders are the people building in the program. Live working sessions have their own visibility rule, described in Section 5.7.
  • Graduation. When a program graduates you, billing flips back to you: pooled funding stops, and your projects continue on your own plan. Graduation does not restart a free trial. If the program already used the one-month free trial tied to your account, it is not granted again, and AI features require a paid plan once that window has passed.
  • Alumni outcomes. After you graduate, a program may ask you to share outcome information (for example, funding raised or your current stage) for its alumni reporting. This capture is optional and recorded with your consent; you choose whether to share it.

5.7 Live working sessions and consent

A program can run a live working session on your project: a shared, real-time notebook where a program host, and any monitors the host adds, can see the session thread as it happens and ask questions grounded in your research. Because this exposes a live view of your work to the program, we ask for your explicit, standing consent before the first session, under the live session consent (version 2026-07-24). That consent plainly states that a program host and monitors can see your session thread in real time. It is given once so a host can run a session even if you are offline, and we ask you to accept it again if we materially change it. You can decline, and a session cannot go live without a current consent on file. This is separate from your private notebook, which stays private to you.

6. AI-generated content: important disclaimers

Read this section carefully.

6.1 Not professional advice

Research documents, notebook answers, concept artifacts (wireframes, moodboards, prototypes), and other AI outputs are for informational and exploratory purposes only. They are not legal, tax, accounting, investment, or other professional advice. LaunchValid does not practice law, accounting, or financial advisory services.

Standard disclaimer (shown on research and concept views):

AI-generated research for informational purposes only. Not legal, tax, or investment advice.

Concept Studio disclaimer:

AI-generated concept for exploration only. Not production-ready code. Not legal, tax, or investment advice.

You must consult licensed professionals before acting on any output, especially for legal, tax, regulatory, or investment decisions.

6.2 Accuracy and limitations

AI outputs may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. We use source citations and assumption labels where possible, but we do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. You are solely responsible for verifying facts and for decisions you make based on the Service.

6.3 No guaranteed validation

We do not guarantee that your idea will succeed, that investors will approve it, or that research outputs constitute “validation” in any legal or commercial sense. We provide a structured research and execution workflow, not a promise of outcomes.

6.4 Export of legal and tax sections

Export of research (Word, PDF, Google Docs) may be restricted until applicable legal or tax sections are marked validated by an appropriate professional on the platform, where required by your plan and project settings.

7. Marketplace

If you publish tasks or participate as a seller, the Marketplace Buyer Agreement and the Marketplace Seller Agreement also apply. In case of conflict on marketplace-specific topics, those agreements control for marketplace transactions.

Summary (see full agreements for details):

  • Sellers are independent contractors, not employees or agents of LaunchValid.
  • Payments are processed via Stripe Connect. Founders fund tasks; funds are held until the founder approves the deliverable, subject to our dispute process.
  • Platform fee: LaunchValid retains 12% of the amount released to the seller upon founder approval.
  • Scope visibility: Sellers see task summaries and statements of work, not your full private research, unless you choose to share it.
  • Disputes: See Section 12 and the marketplace agreements.

8. Your content and intellectual property

8.1 Your ownership

You retain ownership of business ideas, research text, imports, comments, and other content you submit (“User Content”).

8.2 License to LaunchValid

You grant LaunchValid a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, and use User Content solely to operate, improve, and provide the Service, including running AI models on your content within your project settings and team permissions.

8.3 Feedback

If you send suggestions or feedback, we may use them without obligation or compensation to you.

8.4 Our IP

The Service, LaunchValid brand, software, proprietary research methodology, and underlying technology are owned by AmpFi App LLC or its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or trade secrets except limited use necessary to access the Service.

8.5 Data you collect from other people

Some features let you collect personal information from other people: leads from your hosted pages, entries from your built apps, applicants to a program you run, and viewers of your data rooms. For that information, you are the controller and LaunchValid is your processor. We handle it on your behalf to run the feature.

Because you decide what to collect and why, you are responsible for doing so lawfully. You agree that:

  • You will provide your own privacy notice to the people you collect from, and you will post a link to it on every published page, intake form, and app that collects their information.
  • You have a lawful basis to collect and use that information, and you have any consents required where you and those people are located.
  • You will only collect what you need, will honor those people's privacy requests, and will not use LaunchValid to gather sensitive data you are not permitted to handle.

We give you controls to help (form fields you define, viewer allow lists, expiring share links, and export or deletion), but meeting these obligations is your responsibility, not ours.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Violate any law or third-party rights.
  • Upload malware, spam, or content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing.
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, scrape, or overload the Service.
  • Misrepresent your identity, credentials, or seller qualifications.
  • Use the Service to provide unlicensed legal, medical, or regulated financial advice through the marketplace.
  • Circumvent credit limits, access controls, or payment flows.
  • Use outputs to mislead consumers or make false advertising claims.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts.

10. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third parties including Google (sign-in, Drive export, and Google Sheets storage for your hosted pages and built apps), Stripe (payments), AI processing providers, Amazon Web Services (email via SES, file storage via S3), and analytics providers. Your use of those services may be subject to their terms. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel subscriptions through account settings or Stripe customer portal where available.

We may suspend (a reversible hold) or ban (a permanent closure) your account for violation of these Terms, non-payment, fraud or fraud-risk signals, legal requirement, or to protect the Service or other users. A suspended or banned account cannot sign in or use marketplace, research, or payout features. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by nature should survive (disclaimers, liability limits, dispute resolution) will survive.

Effect on marketplace funds. If your account is suspended or banned while you have active marketplace engagements, we will handle funds held in escrow to protect both sides: money held for undelivered work is refunded to the founder, and payouts on delivered work are frozen for review and then released to the seller or refunded to the founder once our team decides. Details are in the Marketplace Buyer Agreement and Marketplace Seller Agreement. If you believe a suspension is a mistake, contact hello@launchvalid.com.

You may request export or deletion of personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, subject to legal retention requirements.

12. Disputes between users (marketplace)

For disputes between founders and sellers regarding marketplace tasks:

  1. Parties should first attempt good-faith resolution through the Service messaging and deliverable review tools.
  2. A founder may open a dispute during the 7-day review window after the seller submits a deliverable, before the task auto-approves. Opening a dispute stops the auto-approval clock and holds the escrowed funds until the dispute is resolved. Once a task auto-approves at the end of that window, funds release to the seller and the dispute route closes.
  3. LaunchValid may review evidence (messages, deliverables, SOW) and recommend an outcome. LaunchValid is not a court and does not provide legal judgments.
  4. Escrow release is triggered by founder approval, by auto-approval at the end of the review window, or by final resolution under our dispute policy. Stripe processes payouts according to Connect rules.

LaunchValid’s role is limited to platform facilitation unless otherwise required by law.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAUNCHVALID DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

  • LAUNCHVALID WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL.
  • LAUNCHVALID’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) USD $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO LAUNCHVALID IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AmpFi App LLC, its members, managers, and service providers from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, your marketplace activities, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

16. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your state of residence apply.

Informal resolution: Contact hello@launchvalid.com before filing a claim; we will try to resolve disputes informally within 30 days.

Arbitration (US users): Except for small-claims court matters and injunctive relief for IP or misuse, disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association Consumer Arbitration Rules. Class actions and class arbitrations are waived. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing hello@launchvalid.com with subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your account email.

If arbitration is unenforceable, exclusive jurisdiction lies in state or federal courts in Wyoming.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version with a new “Last updated” date and, for material changes, provide notice (email or in-app). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

18. General

  • Entire agreement: These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable marketplace agreements are the entire agreement regarding the Service.
  • Severability: If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
  • No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (including entity rename or reformation).
  • Force majeure: We are not liable for delays due to events beyond our reasonable control.
