Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-17

Agreement

By creating an account or using nodegoals ("the Service"), operated by Node Goals LLC ("we", "us", "our"), a Hawaii limited liability company, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 to use nodegoals, and capable of forming a binding contract. If you're using nodegoals on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

Your account

You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for any activity under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

Your content

You retain ownership of everything you put into nodegoals — projects, tasks, notes, comments, images. You grant us a limited license to host, display, transmit, and process that content solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you (and any collaborators you invite).

You promise that your content (a) doesn't infringe anyone else's rights, (b) doesn't violate any law, and (c) isn't malicious code.

AI features — important disclaimer

nodegoals includes AI-assisted features (AI Import, Ask AI, AI-suggested icons, etc.). These features call third-party AI models. AI output is:

• Probabilistic — it may be wrong, incomplete, biased, or out of date.
• Not professional advice — don't rely on it for legal, medical, financial, safety, or any other decision where accuracy matters. Always verify with a qualified human professional.
• Yours to verify — you are responsible for reviewing AI output before acting on it. We are not liable for actions taken based on AI suggestions.

Your prompts and the task context you reference are sent to the AI provider (OpenAI and/or Anthropic). Don't put information you wouldn't share with a third-party SaaS into an AI prompt.

Acceptable use

Don't:

• Use the Service to send spam, phishing, or malware.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to bypass rate limits or security.
• Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm others.
• Resell or sublicense the Service without our written permission.
• Use the Service in any way that violates law in your jurisdiction.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

Prohibited content — regulated data

nodegoals is a general-purpose productivity tool. It is not a HIPAA-, PCI-, or FERPA-compliant system. We have not executed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with our hosting, AI, or email sub-processors and we do not commit to the safeguards those regulations require.

You agree NOT to upload, paste, type, attach, or otherwise process the following categories of data in nodegoals — neither in projects, tasks, comments, notes, images, attached email threads, nor in AI prompts:

• Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA — patient records, diagnoses, treatment information, insurance claim data, identifiable medical data of any kind.
• Cardholder data regulated by PCI-DSS — full credit card numbers, CVV codes, magnetic stripe data, PIN blocks. (Stripe handles payment data for us — never enter it into a task.)
• Government identification numbers — Social Security Numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, national insurance numbers.
• Financial account credentials — bank account + routing numbers, brokerage credentials, crypto wallet seed phrases or private keys.
• Educational records protected by FERPA.
• Classified or export-controlled information (ITAR / EAR controlled technical data, classified government material).
• Child sexual abuse material or any content that sexualizes minors.
• Other data subject to specialized regulation that would require a BAA, DPA addendum, or compliance certification we have not signed.

If you process this data in nodegoals anyway, you do so in violation of these Terms and at your sole risk. We accept no liability for any unauthorized disclosure, regulatory penalty, or harm that results, and we may terminate accounts that we discover or suspect are processing prohibited content.

Beta and unreleased features

Some features may be labeled "beta" or are otherwise unreleased. They are provided AS IS, may change, break, or be removed without notice. Don't rely on them for anything critical.

Subscriptions and billing

Paid plans renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription. We don't issue refunds for partial periods, but if you believe a charge is in error, email us within 30 days and we'll work it out.

We may change prices on renewal with at least 30 days' notice.

Service availability

We aim for high uptime but don't promise it. The Service is provided AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES of any kind, express or implied (including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement), to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or USD $100 if you haven't paid us anything). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or lost goodwill.

Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law.

Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms or extended inactivity. On termination, we delete your data per the Privacy Policy.

Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with an updated "Last updated" date. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the new Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Honolulu County, Hawaii, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts — except where consumer-protection law in your own jurisdiction grants you the right to bring the claim locally, in which case that law controls.

Copyright (DMCA) — reporting infringement

nodegoals respects intellectual property rights. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notification to our designated agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)). Your notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or someone authorized to act on their behalf).
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, together with information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (e.g. the project / task URL or image link).
4. Your contact information — address, telephone, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send the notice to our designated agent (update the address here if you move to a virtual mailbox — also update legal/privacy.html and the SENDER_POSTAL_ADDRESS env var on Vercel):
