Terms of Service

The short version

Use BrainSack for your own lawful purposes and we will keep it running. It costs $4.99/month after a 10-day free trial and you can cancel at any time. Your notes belong to you. We are a small operation and we do not promise perfection, so the limits below are real ones.

1. Who this is with

These terms are between you and RW Business Solutions LLC (“we”, “us”), covering your use of BrainSack — the website, the app and the text-message capture that goes with it. By creating an account you accept them. If you do not, do not create one.

2. Your account

• You need a working email address, and it needs to be one you control.
• You must be at least 16 years old, and old enough where you live to enter into a contract.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your password to yourself. Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has got into it.
• One account per person. Do not share a login with other people in place of paying.

3. What it costs

BrainSack is $4.99/month. There is no free tier: the app sits behind the subscription.

The trial. New accounts get 10 days free. We take a card up front to start it. Cancel before the 10 days are up and you are not charged anything at all — that is the whole deal, and there is no catch buried further down this page.

Renewal and cancellation. The subscription renews itself each month until you cancel it. You can cancel whenever you like, from your account. When you cancel, access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for and then stops — we do not cut you off mid-month, and we do not refund the remainder of a period you chose to leave early.

Price changes. If we change the price we will email you at least 30 days before it affects you, which is time enough to cancel if you would rather not.

Failed payments. If a payment fails we will try again and let you know. If it keeps failing, access pauses until it is sorted out. Your board is not deleted while that is happening.

Payments are handled by Stripe and are also subject to their terms. Taxes, where they apply, are on top.

4. Your content is yours

Everything you put on your board stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to run the service — to store your content, back it up, and show it back to you (and to anyone you deliberately send a share link to). That permission ends when you delete the content or your account.

We do not claim ownership of your notes, we do not use them to train anything, and we do not sell them. See the Privacy Policy for what we actually do with data.

You are responsible for having the right to store what you store. Do not put things on your board that you are not allowed to have.

5. What you may not do

Do not use BrainSack to:

• break the law, or store material that is illegal to possess;
• infringe someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights;
• store or distribute malware, or use it to attack anything;
• send unsolicited messages, or use the text-message capture for anything other than your own notes;
• resell, rent out or white-label the service, or work around the subscription;
• scrape it, hammer it with automated traffic, or otherwise try to degrade it for other people;
• attempt to access anyone else’s account or data.

We may suspend or close an account that does these things. Where the situation allows it we will warn you first; where it does not — anything illegal, anything actively harming the service — we will act first and explain afterwards.

6. Text messages

Text capture works with US numbers today. Standard message and data rates from your carrier apply and are between you and them, not us. By registering a number you are confirming it is yours and agreeing that messages you send to your BrainSack number get added to your board. Message delivery depends on carriers we do not control, so it is not guaranteed.

7. Share links

A share link makes one item readable by anyone holding it for 24 hours. That is a decision you make deliberately, and what happens to something you have shared is your responsibility, not ours.

8. Availability

We work to keep BrainSack up but we do not offer a formal uptime guarantee. There will be maintenance, there will occasionally be outages, and features may change — if we remove something significant we will give you notice. Keep your own copies of anything you genuinely cannot afford to lose. That is good advice about every service, including ours.

9. Ending it

You can cancel or delete your account at any time; see the Privacy Policy for how deletion works today. We may close your account for a breach of section 5, or if we discontinue the service — in which case we will give you at least 30 days’ notice, a way to get your data out, and a refund of anything you have paid for time you will not get.

10. No warranties

BrainSack is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties — merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement — and we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your needs.

11. Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data or lost opportunity. Our total liability for any claim is limited to what you actually paid us in the 12 months before it arose.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, and if you are a consumer you keep the statutory rights your local law gives you regardless of what this page says.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters we will email the address on your account at least 30 days beforehand. Continuing to use BrainSack after a change takes effect means you accept it; if you would rather not, cancel.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, and its courts have jurisdiction over any dispute — without taking away any protection your local consumer law gives you.

14. Odds and ends

If a clause here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. Not enforcing something straight away does not mean we have given it up. You may not transfer this agreement to someone else; we may transfer it if the business changes hands.

15. Contact

[email protected]. A real person reads it.
