Terms of Service

Effective date: October 17, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using shouldibuildai.com (“the site,” “we,” “us”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. What We Offer

  • A free AI feasibility assessment — you describe your business and an AI idea (or a pain point); you get an instant, itemized read: a verdict, a plan with a worked example, cost/timeline bands, demand signal, the ready-made tool it was checked against if one applies, and the #1 risk.
  • A $29 roadmap report — a paid, one-time (not a subscription) deeper report delivered within 48 hours of your reply to our follow-up questions, often sooner.
  • A Google review service: a monthly subscription, after a free first month, in which we reply to your new Google reviews for you. See section 6.
  • Product videos: a one-time $195 short video made from your website or app, or a one-time $195 photo ad made from your product photos. See section 7.
  • Custom builds — for projects you want built, we provide a firm, project-specific quote before any work or payment for the build itself.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use this site, especially to purchase the $29 report or commission a build.

4. The Assessment Is AI-Assisted by Our Own Experience — Not Professional Advice

The free assessment and the $29 report are generated by AI, but the rubric, cost calibration, and decision logic behind them are built from our own experience actually shipping AI products — not a generic AI response. That said, they reflect our own read on feasibility, cost, and approach, and are not legal, financial, tax, or professional engineering advice. They are not a guarantee of any specific business outcome, cost, or timeline for your actual project. Real-world costs and timelines can vary once you scope an actual build.

The demand and search-volume figures shown in some assessments come from real Google Keyword Planner data, refreshed periodically — they reflect market search activity, not a guarantee that your specific business will see that same demand.

5. Payment, Delivery, and Refunds — the $29 Report

  • Price: $29, one-time. The $29 report is not a subscription and has no recurring charge.
  • Delivery: we may email you a few sharp follow-up questions first; your full report lands in your inbox within 48 hours of your reply to those questions, often sooner. If we do not need to ask you anything, the 48 hours runs from your purchase.
  • Where it arrives: everything we send comes from hello@shouldibuildai.com. If it is not in your inbox, check your spam or promotions folder.
  • Refunds: full refund, no questions asked — just reply to any email from us within a reasonable time of purchase.

6. The Google Review Service

  • What it is: we reply to each new Google review of your business within 2 business days, and post the replies for you through Manager access on your Google Business Profile. Once a month you get a 3-line email: new reviews, replies posted, and your current rating. The service covers Google reviews only.
  • Your card: your review card and review page are free and stay yours, whether or not you ever pay for the service.
  • Free first month: it starts the day your card is ready. No payment card is needed up front, and we ask you before your first charge.
  • Price: $29.95 a month per location, after your free first month. One location per plan.
  • Month to month: there is no contract. You can cancel anytime by telling us at hello@shouldibuildai.com. Cancelling stops all future charges.
  • No refunds: payments for the review service are not refunded. If you cancel, the month you have already paid for runs to its end.
  • Your Google access: you can remove our Manager access anytime from your Google Business Profile settings. If you remove our Manager access, the service ends and no further charges are made.
  • No promised results: we do not promise any number of reviews or any rating. That depends on your customers and how often the card is offered.
  • Your part: offer the card to every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer a discount, gift, or other reward for a review. Google’s review rules require both.

7. Product Videos

  • What it is: one video of the type you order. An animated video is 20 to 30 seconds long, made from your website or app, logo and photos; an optional English voiceover in a generated voice is included in the price. A photo ad is 10 to 15 seconds long, made from your product photos, with a short script read in a generated voice, captions and music. There is no filming.
  • Price: $195 for either type, paid once at checkout. It is not a subscription.
  • Delivery: we email you within 24 hours of your order, and your first cut arrives within 5 business days of your reply to that email. If we do not need to ask you anything, the 5 business days run from your order.
  • One revision round: after the first cut, you send one list of changes and we make them in your final video. Further rounds are not included.
  • Refunds: full refund if you ask before your first cut is delivered. After that, the revision round is how we make it right, and the payment is not refunded.
  • Your video: it is yours to post anywhere, including in ads. The music in an animated video is licensed for commercial use. The music in a photo ad is original music we generate for it. If you supply your own music, you confirm you have the right to use it.
  • Your materials: you confirm you have the right to use the logos, photos and content you ask us to include.

8. Custom Builds

If you want us to build something, we’ll provide a firm, project-specific quote before any work begins and before any payment for the build itself is due. Payment terms, scope, and delivery for a build are agreed in writing per project — these Terms cover the site, the $29 report, and the Google review service; a build is governed by the separate agreement you approve for that project.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to circumvent the free-assessment rate limit (currently 3 per day per visitor) through automation, spoofed requests, or similar means.
  • Submit content that is unlawful, infringing, or that attempts to manipulate the AI system into producing harmful or off-topic output.
  • Scrape, reverse-engineer, or resell the site’s output at scale without our permission.

10. Intellectual Property

You own the $29 report, your product video, and any deliverables from a custom build you’ve paid for. We retain the right to use anonymized, aggregate insights (never your identifying business details) to improve the assessment engine. The site’s design, copy, and underlying software remain our property.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The site and its outputs are provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, shouldibuildai is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the free assessment, the $29 report, the Google review service, or any build. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time; we’ll update the effective date above when we do. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
