Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated: May 15, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using goBuildy ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and goBuildy. We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use of the Service after we notify you of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. The Service
goBuildy is an AI-powered website generation service. You describe your business in plain language, and our system uses artificial intelligence to generate a professional website for you. The generated site is hosted on goBuildy's infrastructure and delivered to your visitors.
The Service is currently available in the United States only.
3. Subscription Plans and Pricing
Available plans
- Tier 1 — $14/month: Your site is hosted at gobuildy.com/{your-slug}. The URL slug is chosen by you from the AI-suggested candidate during the pre-checkout flow.
- Tier 2 — $22/month (Bring Your Own Domain): Your site is hosted on a custom domain you already own. You configure DNS to point to goBuildy's servers. A free SSL certificate is provisioned automatically.
- Tier 2 — $22/month + domain registration fee (Domain Purchase): goBuildy registers a new domain on your behalf via Amazon Route 53 and configures DNS automatically. In addition to the $22/month subscription, you pay a one-time domain registration fee equal to the Route 53 list price for your chosen TLD (e.g., $12.00/year for .com). Domain renewal fees are charged separately at the start of each renewal year.
Billing
- All plans are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor.
- You may cancel at any time from your account dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain access until then.
- Prices are in US dollars and do not include applicable sales tax where required by law.
Refunds and chargebacks
| Scenario | Refundable? | Window / how to request |
|---|---|---|
| Service (creation + hosting) | ✓ Yes | Full refund within 7 days of your first paid billing cycle. Customers who used the 72-hour trial: window starts the day your subscription is activated. Submit via the contact form. |
| Service after the 7-day window | ⚠ Cancel-only | Cancel from the dashboard at any time. Takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no refund for the period in progress. |
| Domain registration fee | ✗ Never | goBuildy acts only as an intermediary; the fee is paid directly to the domain registry. Once registered, never refundable, even if you cancel your goBuildy subscription. You retain ownership of the domain (see Section 5). |
| Provisioning failure on our side | ✓ Automatic | Automatic full refund within 5–10 business days. We notify you via the email associated with your account. |
Initiating a payment dispute or chargeback in lieu of using the refund process above is a violation of these Terms and may result in immediate account termination.
4. AI-Generated Content
The websites generated by goBuildy are produced by large language models (LLMs) including Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude. By using the Service, you understand and agree to the following:
- AI content is not professional advice. Nothing in an AI-generated site constitutes legal, medical, financial, tax, or other professional advice. If your business requires such advice, consult a licensed professional.
- AI content may contain errors. LLMs can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. You are responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all content on your generated site before publishing it to real customers.
- You are responsible for your site's content. By completing checkout and deploying your site, you confirm that the site's content does not violate any applicable laws or third-party rights (see Section 7 — Acceptable Use).
- AI model routing. goBuildy selects the AI model used to generate your site based on availability and load. The specific model used is not guaranteed and may change without notice.
5. Domain Ownership (Tier 2 Domain Purchase)
When goBuildy registers a domain on your behalf, the following terms apply:
- You are the registered owner. Your ICANN registrant contact information is filed with the domain registry. WHOIS privacy protection is enabled by default, hiding your personal details from public lookups. You may opt out of WHOIS privacy at any time.
- The domain is held in goBuildy's AWS account. This is a custody arrangement, not a transfer of legal ownership to goBuildy. goBuildy acts purely as a registration gateway on your behalf.
- Transfer-out is always available. You may request a domain transfer to another registrar at any time via our contact form. We will provide an auth code within 2 business days. Transfers follow the standard 5–7 day ICANN process.
- Auto-renewal. Domains are set to auto-renew annually. You will be charged the prevailing Route 53 renewal price for your domain's TLD at the start of each renewal year. If your goBuildy subscription is cancelled before renewal, we will disable auto-renewal and notify you with transfer-out instructions.
6. Free Preview
Before purchasing a plan, you receive a 72-hour free preview of your AI-generated site at a temporary URL. The preview is watermarked and will be permanently deleted after 72 hours or when the preview token expires, whichever comes first.
The free preview does not constitute a guarantee that your final published site will be identical in appearance or content — minor differences may occur during provisioning.
6A. $1 Design Deposit
After your first free site generation, a refundable $1 design deposit is required to unlock additional regenerations or to proceed with publishing. The following terms apply to the deposit:
- Authorization, not charge. The $1 deposit is a card authorization hold authorized through our payment processor. Your card is not charged at the time of authorization — the hold simply verifies that a valid payment method is on file.
- Credited on publish. If you purchase a goBuildy subscription within 72 hours of authorizing the deposit, the $1 is captured and immediately applied as a credit against your first month's subscription invoice. You are not double-charged.
- Automatic release. If you do not purchase a subscription within 72 hours of authorization, the hold is automatically voided and released in full. No charge appears on your statement. Depending on your card issuer, the pending hold may take 3–7 business days to disappear from your balance.
- No subscription commitment. Authorizing the $1 deposit does not create a subscription or any recurring payment obligation. It only unlocks additional AI regeneration attempts during your 72-hour free preview window.
- Non-refundable after capture. Once captured (i.e., you completed a subscription purchase), the $1 is applied as a credit and is non-refundable as a standalone item. The credit remains on your account and reduces your first invoice.
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to generate or host content that:
- Is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law.
- Infringes any copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, or other intellectual property right.
- Is defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening toward any individual or group.
- Constitutes spam, phishing, or any form of deceptive marketing.
- Depicts or promotes child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — zero tolerance, reported to NCMEC immediately.
- Facilitates unlicensed financial services, gambling, or the sale of illegal substances.
- Impersonates another person, business, or government entity.
goBuildy reserves the right to remove any site that violates these terms without notice and without refund, and to report relevant content or activity to law enforcement.
8. Intellectual Property
Your content
You retain all rights to the prompt text you submit and any business information you provide. By submitting a prompt, you grant goBuildy a limited, non-exclusive license to process that text through our AI pipeline solely for the purpose of generating your site.
Generated site content
The HTML, CSS, and copy generated by our AI for your site is assigned to you upon purchase and full provisioning. Prior to purchase, the generated content remains goBuildy's property and is subject to the free preview watermark.
goBuildy platform
The goBuildy brand, platform code, AI prompting systems, and infrastructure remain the exclusive property of goBuildy. Nothing in these Terms grants you a license to the underlying platform beyond the right to use the Service as described herein.
9. Account Termination
goBuildy may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if we are required to do so by law. In the event of termination for cause, no refund is owed.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. Upon cancellation, your site will remain live until the end of your paid billing period, after which it will be taken offline and your data will be deleted per our Privacy Policy retention schedule.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. GOBUILDY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS OR BE SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOBUILDY'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO GOBUILDY IN THE 3 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
GOBUILDY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL.
12. DMCA / Copyright
If you believe that content on a goBuildy-hosted site infringes your copyright, submit a DMCA takedown notice via our contact form with: (1) identification of the copyrighted work; (2) the URL of the infringing content; (3) your contact information; (4) a statement of good faith belief; (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are the copyright owner or authorized agent; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States applicable to agreements made and performed entirely within the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under JAMS rules, with proceedings conducted in English. Class actions are waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
