Last updated: 8/16/2026 · Effective: 8/16/2026
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and HiddenPrism LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("HiddenPrism," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the HiddenPrism website at hiddenprism.app, its subdomains, the web application, the remote MCP server and API, and all related software, features, and services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, clicking "I agree," or accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER NOTICE. These Terms contain a binding arbitration agreement and a waiver of class actions and jury trials in Section 20. This affects how disputes between you and HiddenPrism are resolved. Please read it carefully. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in Section 20.7.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to use the Service. The Service is not directed to and may not be used by anyone under 18. By using the Service you represent and warrant that: (a) you are at least 18; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms; (c) you are not barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction; and (d) if you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will delete it.
HiddenPrism lets you describe how you think and distills that into a structured "Core" identity, from which you can create "facets" (configurable perspectives derived from your Core), chat with them, run multi-facet "Roundtable" discussions, attach retrieval knowledge ("Sources"), and optionally publish facets so other users can discover, follow, and interact with them.
AI-generated output. The Service uses large language models and other machine-learning systems, including third-party models (see Section 13), to generate text and other outputs ("Output"). You understand and agree that:
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to monitor, screen, filter, or moderate Output and User Content.
You must register for an account to use most features. You agree to: (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information; (b) keep it updated; (c) keep your credentials confidential; and (d) be responsible for all activity under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us immediately at info@hiddenprism.app of any unauthorized use or security breach. We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts in our discretion, including for the reasons in Section 12.
5.1 Credits. Certain features consume usage credits or token allowances ("Credits"). You may purchase Credits in one-time packs at the prices described at the point of purchase. We may also grant complimentary or promotional Credit allowances (for example, a free monthly allowance), which we may change or discontinue at any time. We do not currently offer recurring subscription plans; if we introduce them, the applicable terms will be presented at the point of purchase.
5.2 Nature of Credits. Credits are a limited license to use the Service. They have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are not property, currency, or a stored-value or gift-card balance. Purchased Credits do not expire. Complimentary or promotional Credits may be subject to expiration or adjustment as described when granted.
5.3 Billing; authorization. Purchases are billed through our third-party payment processor (Stripe, Inc.). You authorize us and our processor to charge your payment method for all fees, taxes, and applicable charges. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.
5.4 Price changes. We may change prices and Credit allowances prospectively. Price changes do not affect Credits you have already purchased.
5.5 Refunds. Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated at purchase, all fees are non-refundable and payments are final, including for unused Credits and periods of suspension caused by your breach. If a payment is refunded or reversed, we may remove the corresponding Credits from your account.
5.6 Taxes. Fees are exclusive of taxes. You are responsible for all sales, use, VAT, and similar taxes, excluding taxes on our net income.
5.7 Chargebacks. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us at info@hiddenprism.app to resolve the issue is a breach of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination and collection of amounts owed.
6.1 "User Content." "User Content" means everything you submit, upload, generate, publish, or store through the Service, including your Core description and profile, facet configurations and names, Sources and ingested documents, messages and prompts, avatars and images, feedback labels, and any published facets. As between you and HiddenPrism, you retain all ownership rights you already hold in your User Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to us.
6.2 License to operate the Service. You grant HiddenPrism a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, cache, modify (for formatting and technical purposes), create derivative works of (e.g., embeddings, distillations, indexes, and summaries), publicly perform and display, and otherwise use your User Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service and to develop new features, and to enforce these Terms. This license includes the right to transmit your User Content and prompts to our third-party model and infrastructure providers (Section 13) for processing.
6.3 Published Content. If you publish a facet or otherwise make User Content public (for example, on Discover), you additionally grant each other user of the Service a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, view, interact and converse with, follow, and use that published User Content within the Service as the features permit. You can unpublish a facet at any time, which will stop new public access going forward; however, you understand that (a) content that was public may have been viewed, cached, copied, or retained by others or by search engines outside our control, and (b) unpublishing does not recall copies already made.
6.4 Feedback. If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable license to use and exploit the Feedback for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation.
6.5 Aggregated and de-identified data. We may create and use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from your use of the Service and from User Content for any lawful business purpose, including analytics and improving the Service, provided such data does not identify you. This right survives termination.
6.6 Model training. Our use of prompts and User Content to train or improve models, and any User-facing controls over that use, are described in our [Privacy Policy]. To the extent we or our providers use content to improve models, we do so consistent with that policy and applicable law.
For all User Content you submit, you represent and warrant that:
You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of submitting or publishing it.
You agree not to, and not to permit or enable any third party to, do any of the following:
8.1 Illegal, harmful, or infringing content. Submit, generate, or publish content that: is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, harassing, threatening, or hateful; sexually exploits or endangers minors (which we report to authorities and law enforcement); depicts non-consensual intimate imagery; incites violence or self-harm; or infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right. For clarity, creating, publishing, or generating any sexual or intimate depiction of a real, identifiable person — living or deceased, whether or not a public figure — is prohibited without regard to any parody, satire, or labeling, and is not cured by any label or disclaimer.
8.2 Impersonation, real-person cores, and misleading identity. You may create and privately converse with a Core based on anyone. Publication — making a Core or facet available to other users, whether on Discover, by export or shareable link, or otherwise outside your sole control — is subject to the following, and misrepresentation at the point of publication is a breach of these Terms:
You may not otherwise create, name, or configure a Core, facet, avatar, or profile that impersonates, or that a reasonable person would mistake for, a real individual, brand, or entity you are not authorized to represent, or that falsely suggests endorsement or affiliation. We may relabel, gate, review, unpublish, or remove any published persona, and act on reports, at our discretion.
8.3 Platform and model abuse. Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service; probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of, or breach or circumvent, any security, authentication, rate-limiting, access-gating, or usage-metering measure; extract, scrape, or harvest data or Output except through interfaces we provide and as we permit; use automated means to access the Service except through interfaces we provide and expressly permit; or attempt to derive our prompts, models, weights, or source code.
8.4 Competitive and derivative-model use. Use the Service, Output, or any User Content of others to develop, train, fine-tune, or improve any machine-learning model, foundation model, or product that competes with the Service; or to build a substantially similar or competing service.
8.5 Interference and integrity. Introduce malware or malicious code; overburden, disrupt, or degrade the Service or its infrastructure; interfere with any other user's use; misrepresent Output as human-authored where doing so is deceptive or unlawful; or manipulate Discover, follows, rankings, or feedback signals through fake accounts or automated activity.
8.6 Rights of others. Violate the privacy, publicity, data-protection, or other rights of any person; upload another person's personal or confidential information without authorization; or engage in harassment, stalking, or targeted abuse of other users or their published facets.
We may investigate and take any action we deem appropriate for suspected violations, including removing content, suspending or terminating accounts, and cooperating with law enforcement.
9.1 Ownership. The Service, including all software, code, models and model configurations, prompts, the "HiddenPrism" name and logos, designs, "look and feel," user interfaces, text, graphics, documentation, and all related intellectual property, is and remains the exclusive property of HiddenPrism and its licensors, and is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other laws. Except for the limited license in Section 10, no right, title, or interest in the Service is granted to you, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted.
9.2 Trademarks. "HiddenPrism" and our logos are our trademarks. You may not use them without our prior written permission, and you may not use any mark in a manner likely to cause confusion or that disparages us.
9.3 Output ownership as between users. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, and to the extent we hold any rights in Output generated for you, we assign to you our right, title, and interest (if any) in that Output, so that Output is treated as your User Content under Section 6. This assignment does not apply to Output generated in violation of these Terms, and is subject to (a) other users' and third parties' rights, (b) the non-uniqueness in Section 3, and (c) our and our providers' underlying rights in the Service and models. You may not represent that Output is endorsed by or originates from HiddenPrism.
9.4 No trade-secret harvesting. The structure, sequence, and organization of the Service, our prompt engineering, and our model configurations are our confidential and trade-secret information. You will not disclose or exploit them.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service for your own lawful, personal or internal business purposes during the term of your account. This license terminates automatically on termination of your account or breach of these Terms.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and comparable laws.
11.1 Notices. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent containing the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature.
Designated Copyright Agent: [DMCA agent — not set], HiddenPrism LLC, [Mailing address — not set], email info@hiddenprism.app.
11.2 Counter-notices and repeat infringers. We will process valid counter-notices under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). We will, in appropriate circumstances and in our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
12.1 By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in your account settings.
12.2 By us. We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, remove or disable User Content, and/or terminate your account, with or without notice, if: (a) you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; (b) we are required to by law or a governmental request; (c) your use poses a security, legal, or reputational risk, or harms other users or the Service; (d) your payment fails or is disputed; or (e) we discontinue the Service or a feature.
12.3 Effect of termination. On termination, your license to use the Service ends and we may delete your User Content, though we may retain copies as required by law or our Privacy Policy or for backup, security, and enforcement. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 3, 5.5, 6, 7, 9, 13–20) survive termination. Termination does not entitle you to any refund except as required by law.
The Service integrates with and relies on third-party providers, including AI-model providers (e.g., Anthropic), and cloud and infrastructure providers (e.g., Cloudflare), and may link to or interoperate with third-party services, including through the MCP server. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, their terms, or their content, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms. User Content and prompts may be transmitted to these providers to deliver the Service (see the Privacy Policy). We are not liable for any third-party act or omission.
Our collection and use of personal information is described in our [Privacy Policy], which is incorporated into these Terms. By using the Service you consent to those practices. Because the Service may involve sensitive self-descriptive information, review the Privacy Policy carefully before submitting such content.
We may offer features identified as beta, preview, experimental, or early access ("Beta Features"), which are provided "AS IS," without warranty, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, and may be more likely to contain errors. Your use of Beta Features is at your own risk.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL OUTPUT, USER CONTENT, AND THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE AND OUR LICENSORS AND PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
17.1 IN NO EVENT WILL HIDDENPRISM OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17.2 OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
17.3 THESE LIMITATIONS ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BARGAIN AND APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN SUCH CASES OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HiddenPrism and its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and providers from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service or Output; (c) your violation of these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law; (d) your violation of any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, including through impersonation or unauthorized use of a real person's identity; or (e) your breach of your representations and warranties. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us.
19.1 Service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.
19.2 Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting the updated Terms with a new "Last updated" date and/or by email or in-product notice). Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may cancel your account.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
20.1 Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after written notice describing the dispute is sent to info@hiddenprism.app (for your notice) or to the email on your account (for ours).
20.2 Binding arbitration. Except for the excluded claims in Section 20.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by [Arbitration provider — not set] under its then-current consumer/commercial rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve threshold questions of arbitrability, except that a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver in Section 20.4.
20.3 Arbitration procedure. Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in [Venue county — not set], New Jersey or, at your election, by video or telephone, or based only on written submissions where the rules allow. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
20.4 Class-action and jury waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court.
20.5 Excluded claims. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information.
20.6 Governing law and forum. These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey and, where applicable, the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any matter not subject to arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state and federal courts located in [Venue county — not set], New Jersey, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
20.7 Right to opt out of arbitration. You may opt out of Sections 20.2–20.4 by sending written notice to info@hiddenprism.app within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
20.8 Time limit. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent permitted by law.
We may provide notices to you by email to your account address, by posting in the Service, or as otherwise permitted by law. You may contact us at info@hiddenprism.app; formal legal notices must be sent to info@hiddenprism.app and HiddenPrism LLC, [Mailing address — not set].
22.1 Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any terms presented at purchase or for specific features are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on that subject.
22.2 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
22.3 Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in full force.
22.4 No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it or of any other provision.
22.5 Relationship. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
22.6 Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor conditions, governmental action, internet or utility failures, third-party provider outages, or cyberattacks.
22.7 Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service in violation of, any U.S. embargo or sanctions program, and that you are not on any restricted-party list.
22.8 U.S. government users. The Service is a "commercial item" and any use by U.S. government entities is subject to these Terms consistent with FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202.
22.9 Headings. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
