Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Prompt Patent (the “Service”), a directory where people publish, search, copy and save prompts for AI models. By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and at least 16 if you are in a jurisdiction where 16 is the minimum age for consenting to online services. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind that organisation to these Terms.

Browsing and copying prompts do not require an account. An account is required to publish prompts, save prompts to your library, and report content.

2. Your account

• Accounts are created by signing in with a third-party provider (GitHub or Google). We do not store a password for your account.
• You are given a public username, which appears in your profile URL. You may change it in Settings; changing it changes the link to your profile, and an old username may later be taken by someone else.
• You are responsible for activity that happens through your account and for keeping access to the provider account you sign in with secure.
• You may stop using the Service at any time and request deletion of your account as described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Content you publish

“Your Content” means the prompts, titles, descriptions and other material you submit to the Service. You keep ownership of Your Content. You are responsible for it, and you confirm that you have the rights necessary to publish it.

By publishing Your Content, you grant Prompt Patent a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, index, display and distribute it for the purpose of operating, promoting and improving the Service. You also grant every other user of the Service a licence to view, copy and use Your Content — including in their own work and with AI models — and to save it to their library. This is the point of publishing here: prompts are posted so that others can use them.

These licences continue for copies that others have already made or saved, even after you delete a prompt. Aside from that, the licences end when Your Content is removed from the Service.

Deleting a prompt

Deleting a prompt removes it from browsing, search and your profile. For integrity of the record, a deleted prompt still resolves for users who had already saved it, and its content fingerprint remains claimed (see section 4). If you need content fully expunged, contact us at hello@tidemark.one.

4. One prompt, one creator

The Service enforces uniqueness: each distinct prompt body may exist on the Service only once, attributed to the account that published it first. Attempts to publish a prompt whose body already exists will be rejected. Deleting a prompt does not release its fingerprint, so deletion cannot be used to transfer or reassign authorship.

First publication on the Service is not a determination of legal authorship or ownership. If someone has published a prompt that is yours, report it or follow the copyright process in the Content Policy.

5. Acceptable use

The Content Policy forms part of these Terms and describes what may and may not be published. In addition, you agree not to:

• break the law, infringe anyone’s rights, or help anyone else do either;
• scrape, crawl or bulk-download the Service other than as permitted by our robots directives, or place unreasonable load on it;
• probe, disrupt or circumvent the security, rate limits, authentication or moderation features of the Service;
• use automation to inflate save or copy counts, create accounts in bulk, or otherwise manipulate rankings;
• impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or organisation.

6. Moderation and enforcement

Users can report prompts, and we review reports. We may remove or hide content, and suspend or terminate accounts, where we reasonably believe these Terms or the Content Policy have been broken, or where we are legally required to act. Where practical and lawful, we will tell the affected user the reason and give them a way to respond by writing to hello@tidemark.one. Reports are not a vote: we act on the content, not on the number of reports.

7. Our content and marks

The Service itself — its software, design, name and logo — belongs to Prompt Patent and its licensors, and nothing in these Terms transfers those rights to you. You may link to the Service and refer to it by name.

8. Prompts are not advice, and models are not ours

Prompts on the Service are published by users. We do not verify that a prompt works, is safe, or is suitable for any purpose. Output produced by an AI model from a prompt is generated by that third-party model, not by us, and may be inaccurate. Model names shown on a prompt are informational only and do not imply endorsement by, or any relationship with, the model provider. Do not rely on prompts or their output as professional, legal, medical or financial advice.

9. Third-party services

Signing in uses GitHub or Google, and their own terms and privacy policies apply to what happens on their side. The Service may link to other sites we do not control and are not responsible for.

10. Availability and changes

The Service is provided on an evolving basis. We may add, change or remove features, and we may suspend or discontinue the Service in whole or in part. We will give reasonable notice of a discontinuation where we can.

11. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted or error-free operation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Prompt Patent will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Prompt Patent from claims, damages and reasonable costs arising out of Your Content or your breach of these Terms, except to the extent they arise from our own wrongdoing.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access as described in section 6. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 3, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 16 — do survive.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date above, and for material changes we will give notice on the Service before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at our principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be brought before the courts there. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory laws of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings there.

17. General

These Terms, together with the Content Policy and Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
