Terms of Service

Last updated: July 11, 2026

Welcome to VauntSpace. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are the agreement between you and VauntSpace (“we”, “us”, “VauntSpace”) covering your use of vauntspace.comand everything on it (the “Service”).

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

Founding Member note: VauntSpace is in a launch-window Founding-Member mode where every plan is free. Read the launch terms for the specific promises we make about how the transition from free-for-everyone to billed operations will work.

1. Your account

You must be at least 18 to create an account. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secret and for everything that happens on your account. Tell us at support@vauntspace.comif you think someone else got access. Automated sign-ups and reselling accounts aren't allowed.

2. What VauntSpace does

VauntSpace is a business operating system for independent creators. We provide:

• AI marketing tools that help you draft articles and social posts.
• Distributionto social platforms you connect, subject to each platform's own rules.
• The Marketplace for you to publish equity or outright-sale listings that buyers can respond to.
• The Showcase for niche one-off items you want to sell direct.
• The Boardroom, a private workspace when a deal is moving forward.
• The Attorney Marketplace, where you can post legal requests and independent attorneys can bid.
• Integrations that connect the tools you already use.

VauntSpace is not a bank, broker-dealer, securities exchange, lender, escrow service, or law firm. We do not hold funds for you, we do not verify claims made in listings, and we do not provide legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.

3. Plans, payments, and cancellation

Some features are free; some require a paid plan. Plan tiers, included quotas, and prices are listed on our pricing page. Prices are in US dollars unless stated otherwise.

• Billing cycle: monthly or yearly, as chosen at signup. Payment is due at the start of each cycle.
• Auto-renewal: paid plans renew automatically unless cancelled before the next cycle starts.
• Cancellation: you can cancel anytime from your Billing page. You keep access through the end of the paid period.
• Refunds: except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. If something we billed you for is broken, contact us and we'll make it right.
• Free tier: quotas may change with notice. If we need to lower them we'll email you first.
• AI usage limits: paid plans include monthly AI credit budgets. Excess usage counts against your quota or, on the Free tier, may be routed to slower local compute. See AI settings for details.

4. The Marketplace (equity + outright sales)

The Marketplace is a discovery and communication platform. When a buyer expresses interest or makes an offer on your listing, we surface that interest to you. Everything else, negotiation, due diligence, term sheets, paperwork, funds transfer, closing, happens directly between you and the buyer, off-platform.

• No securities offering. Nothing on the Marketplace is an offer to sell securities or a solicitation to buy. Sellers are responsible for complying with all applicable securities laws in their jurisdiction; buyers are responsible for confirming their own eligibility to invest (accredited status, etc.) where required.
• No escrow. VauntSpace does not hold funds or assets at any stage of a Marketplace transaction.
• Seller obligations. If you list something, your statements must be truthful. You must disclose all material facts a reasonable buyer would want to know before closing.
• Buyer obligations. Do your own due diligence. Consult your own attorney, accountant, and financial advisor before any transaction.

5. The Showcase (niche sellers)

The Showcase surfaces listings created by independent sellers. VauntSpace does not verify seller claims, inspect goods, or facilitate transactions. Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.

Sellers self-attest at listing creation that they are legally allowed to sell the item where they are and that any license information they provide is accurate. Prohibited categories include any species regulated by CITES or the Endangered Species Act, vehicles with undisclosed title issues, firearms or ammunition requiring FFL transfer, and anything the seller does not have clear legal title to sell.

6. The Attorney Marketplace

The Attorney Marketplace is a listing and communication platform for independent attorneys and clients seeking legal work. VauntSpace does not provide legal services and is not a law firm.

Attorneys who list here are independent professionals responsible for their own bar admissions, malpractice insurance, ethics compliance, and client engagements. When an RFQ is posted and an attorney's bid is accepted, the resulting attorney-client relationship is between the client and the attorney directly.

VauntSpace collects a facilitation fee on accepted engagements, currently 10% of the accepted bid amount, disclosed at the time of bid acceptance. Payment terms between the attorney and client are set by them and paid off-platform.

7. The Boardroom

The Boardroom is a workspace we open when a Marketplace offer is accepted or an attorney bid is accepted. Content posted in a Boardroom (messages, documents, term sheets, action items) is visible only to the members of that specific Boardroom and to VauntSpace staff acting for support, security, or legal-compliance reasons.

VauntSpace provides the workspace. We do not review Boardroom content for accuracy, we do not verify signatures unless a third-party e-signature integration is used, and we do not adjudicate disputes between members.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you create or upload (“Your Content”). By posting Your Content on VauntSpace, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and process it as needed to run the Service, including surfacing it in feeds and social posts you approve.

You are responsible for making sure Your Content doesn't violate anyone's rights (copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contract), and doesn't violate law. We can remove content that we believe violates these Terms or applicable law, and we can suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.

9. Acceptable use

Don't do these:

• Break the law with the Service.
• Post content that's hateful, threatening, sexually explicit about minors, incites violence, or defrauds anyone.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, index, spider, mirror, or otherwise extract data or content from the Service by automated means without our written permission. This prohibition includes AI training data collection.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, structure, or ideas behind any part of the Service.
• Copy, reproduce, republish, mirror, frame, or make available to the public any material part of the Service without our written permission.
• Clone, replicate, or produce a substantially similar look-and-feel of the Service, its interface, its navigation structure, its distinctive design elements, or its brand.
• Try to bypass rate limits, plan limits, authentication, or access controls.
• Send spam or manipulate social platforms with our tools.
• Impersonate anyone or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or business.

We reserve every technical countermeasure against automated extraction and unauthorized access, including IP-level blocks, session termination, honeypot detection, and cooperation with upstream infrastructure providers.

9a. Our intellectual property

VauntSpace, the VauntSpace name and logo, the VauntSpace wordmark, our Fraunces-based typographic lockup, our editorial paper/ink/ rust/accent-blue palette, the arrangement of our surfaces (including the Studios, the Marketing Engine, the Marketplace, the Attorney directory, the Boardroom, the Lobby, the Personal / Professional profile split, the tiered publishing dial, and their distinctive interaction patterns), our documentation, our images, our video, our code, our copy, and every other original element of the Service (collectively, the “VauntSpace Materials”) are owned by VauntSpace or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade-dress, patent, and trade-secret laws.

Your account gives you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use the VauntSpace Materials solely for the purpose of using the Service as intended. No other rights are granted. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. In particular, the following are strictly prohibited without our prior written permission:

• Copying, reproducing, distributing, publicly displaying, or creating derivative works from any VauntSpace Materials.
• Using any VauntSpace Materials to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop any machine-learning model.
• Removing, altering, or obscuring any copyright, trademark, watermark, canary, or other proprietary notice.
• Using any VauntSpace Materials to build a product or service that competes with the Service or that replicates any substantial portion of its distinctive look, feel, or functionality.
• Using the VauntSpace name, logo, or wordmark as your own or in any way that suggests endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation without our prior written permission.

Copyright in the VauntSpace Materials arises automatically under 17 U.S.C. § 102 upon creation and is owned by VauntSpace. Registration with the United States Copyright Office may be undertaken separately and, when secured, additionally entitles VauntSpace to statutory damages and attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. §§ 504-505. “VauntSpace” and the VauntSpace wordmark are common-law trademarks of VauntSpace used in commerce continuously since 2026, and are enforceable under state common law and § 43(a) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)) regardless of whether federal registration has been obtained. Federal registration may be pursued separately; the absence of a registration certificate at any given moment does not diminish our rights under common law or federal statute.

We may embed invisible watermarks, canary tokens, and other provenance markers in the Service. Removing, tampering with, or obscuring these markers is a violation of these Terms and, where applicable, of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 1202) and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

9b. Enforcement and remedies

You acknowledge that any breach of the “Acceptable use” or “Our intellectual property” sections will cause VauntSpace immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages would be inadequate. Accordingly, VauntSpace is entitled to seek and obtain injunctive and equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the requirement to post a bond or prove actual damages, in addition to any other legal remedy.

We may also seek statutory damages, actual damages, disgorgement of profits, attorneys' fees, and costs to the maximum extent permitted by law, including under 17 U.S.C. §§ 504, 505, 1203, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1117, 1125, and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030) where applicable.

A copyright owner who believes their work has been infringed on the Service may submit a notice under our DMCA policy. VauntSpace is a registered DMCA safe-harbor participant and will respond to properly formatted notices as required by law.

10. AI, third parties, and BYOK

VauntSpace uses AI models to generate drafts you review. AI output can be wrong. You're responsible for reviewing everything before publishing.

Some AI processing happens on our infrastructure. If you connect your own AI provider account (“BYOK”), your requests route through that provider and are subject to their terms and their billing.

The Service integrates with third-party platforms (social networks, payment processors, calendars, etc.). Their availability and their rules are outside our control. VauntSpace is not responsible for third-party outages, price changes, policy changes, or account actions taken by them against you.

11. No warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, VauntSpace disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, uninterrupted, or that any content, AI output, or third-party integration will meet your requirements.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VauntSpace's total liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US$100.

VauntSpace is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, even if we've been advised of the possibility.

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold VauntSpace harmless from any claim, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party right or law.

14. Suspension and termination

We can suspend or end your account at any time if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or expose VauntSpace to legal risk. You can end your account at any time from your Billing page. On termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Data may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

15. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts sitting in Ohio, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you by email or a prominent notice on the Service before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
