BrainStorm Map Plugin Terms of Service

1. Your agreement with Brainstorm LTD

These Terms govern the BrainStorm Map ChatGPT app and MCP connectors for Claude, Gemini, and other supported clients, their embedded map viewers, and original plugin preview maps. Your agreement is with Brainstorm LTD, registered in the United Kingdom. Registered office: Suite 4.01, 4th Floor Capital House, 25 Chapel Street, London, England, NW1 5DH. By using an integration you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.

You must be at least 16 years old, or at least 13 in the United States with parental or guardian permission, and have the legal capacity or permission required for this agreement. If acting for an organisation, you must have authority to bind it.

These dedicated Terms govern plugin use. The Main Terms at /terms apply when you use the separate BrainStorm application or save a map into your account. For plugin-specific matters, these Terms take precedence over general descriptions in the Main Terms. Mandatory consumer rights always apply.

2. What the plugin does

The integrations create context maps from topic outlines supplied by your host assistant or from notes and source text explicitly supplied for mapping. They can display maps and append assistant-supplied topics when you request expansion. For conversation mapping, the intended flow has the host create a concise outline and send the title, topics, and details to Brainstorm, without sending raw conversation turns or requiring a second AI call by Brainstorm. The integrations are designed not to retrieve your other chats, memories, files, or full conversation history.

For explicitly supplied notes or source text, Brainstorm may use its own API credentials to send the text and an optional title to a separate AI provider to create an outline. When host-based routing is enabled, the planned providers are OpenAI for ChatGPT, Anthropic for Claude, and Google for Gemini, with Google as the default for unrecognised or direct MCP clients. Until that routing is enabled in the deployed service, Google may process source text from any integration. Brainstorm chooses the provider based on the identified client; you do not necessarily select it. Provider terms and data-handling practices may apply. Source text is not copied into the map chat; Brainstorm stores the resulting map, which may reproduce details from that text. The Plugin Privacy Policy explains the data flows.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other host platforms are separate services with their own terms and privacy policies. The host that processes your conversation and the AI provider Brainstorm calls separately for source-text mapping may be operated by the same company, but are distinct processing steps. The integrations are provided by Brainstorm LTD.

3. Anonymous maps, access links, and expiry

You can create and preview a plugin map without a BrainStorm account. The plugin returns a view link and, where applicable, a claim link. Anyone holding a valid view link can view the map without signing in. A claim token also enables supported expansion of an unclaimed map and saving it to an eligible signed-in account. Keep claim links confidential and share only the view link for view-only access.

Preview links are configured to expire 30 days after map creation. Save a workspace copy before expiry if you want to retain access in your account. Link expiry is an access restriction and does not currently guarantee automatic deletion of the original database record. The Plugin Privacy Policy describes actual retention and how to request removal.

Do not rely on a plugin preview as your only copy of important work. Contact privacy@brainstorm-map.com to request removal or revocation of an original preview link. We may verify your authority before acting.

4. Saving to your own maps

Saving requires a signed-in BrainStorm account and applicable workspace access, which may include an invitation. It creates a separate map copy in your workspace; it does not turn the original plugin preview into a permanent account map.

Your saved workspace copy is not deleted merely because the original preview expires or is removed. Subsequent plugin expansion does not modify the saved workspace copy. Once claimed, continue editing the saved map in the BrainStorm application.

Saving does not revoke the original preview link. Deleting a workspace copy or closing an account should not be assumed to erase the original plugin preview. Identify both the account and preview link when requesting deletion of both. Main Terms and the Main Privacy Policy apply to the workspace copy and account.

5. Your content and permitted processing

You retain the rights you hold in your content. You grant BrainStorm a limited, non-exclusive licence to receive, host, copy, process, display, and transmit it as necessary to fulfil your plugin requests, maintain and secure the service, and meet legal obligations. This includes processing by the providers disclosed in the Plugin Privacy Policy and access by recipients of your map links.

You must have authority to submit and share the material, including personal information about other people. Do not submit passwords, API keys, payment-card details, government identifiers, protected health information, or other sensitive personal information through the plugin. The plugin does not require you to provide your own AI-provider credentials.

AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or similar to other outputs. Verify it before relying on it. It is not professional advice and must not be the sole basis for decisions with legal or significant effects. Any rights in output remain subject to applicable law and third-party rights.

6. Acceptable use and service limits

Our Acceptable Use Policy at /acceptable-use applies. Do not submit illegal content, infringe others' rights, distribute malware, attempt unauthorised access, bypass safeguards or rate limits, misuse claim tokens, or interfere with the service. Only submit and share information you have authority to use.

Features may be limited by availability, account eligibility, or fair-use restrictions. The plugin does not itself sell or initiate digital subscriptions. Any separate account subscription is governed by the Main Terms and applicable purchase terms, without reducing mandatory cancellation or refund rights.

7. Privacy and your controls

The Plugin Privacy Policy at /plugin/privacy describes information collected, host and separately called AI-provider processing, recipients, sharing, retention, interaction measurement, and privacy rights. It is a notice of processing practices, not blanket consent to processing that legally requires separate consent.

You can choose the information supplied and whether to use source-text mapping or outline mapping. You can stop using or disconnect the plugin. Disconnecting does not delete existing BrainStorm maps or records, or copies held by OpenAI or other providers. Contact privacy@brainstorm-map.com for access, export, correction, deletion, or objection, including if you have no account.

8. Availability, suspension, and liability

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not promise uninterrupted availability, permanent preview access, or error-free AI output. Features may change or be withdrawn. We will provide notice where reasonably practicable and as required by law.

We may restrict or suspend use where reasonably necessary to address abuse, security risks, legal requirements, or a material breach. We will explain the reason where lawful and practicable. Contact support@brainstorm-map.com to request review.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or losses that were not reasonably foreseeable. Subject to the exceptions below, our total liability arising from plugin use is limited to the greater of fees you paid us for the relevant service in the preceding 12 months and US$100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your mandatory consumer and data-protection rights are preserved.

9. Changes and ending use

You may stop using the plugin at any time. Stopping use does not itself delete stored maps or records. Retention and deletion follow the Plugin Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms and will show the actual revision date. We will notify material changes through the service or otherwise where appropriate. If you do not accept revised Terms, stop using the plugin. Provisions that by their nature survive ending use, including intellectual-property, liability, and dispute provisions, continue to apply.

10. Law and disputes

Please contact legal@brainstorm-map.com so we can try to resolve a dispute. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer protections and rights to bring proceedings in your country of residence. These Terms do not impose binding arbitration or a class-action waiver.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. A delay in enforcement does not waive a provision. You must comply with applicable export controls and sanctions.
