Terms of Service

Effective October 25, 2026 · Thought Process is run by Driveline Auto LLC ("we", "us").

1. What Thought Process is

Thought Process is a guided course. An AI coach walks you, step by step, through building your own private app (your "brain") on accounts you create with third-party services such as Supabase, GitHub, Anthropic and Claude. We provide the course, the coach and this website. We don't host, run or have access to the brain you build.

2. Your account

• You need an account to use the course. Give a real email address and keep your password safe.
• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live.
• Your account is for you. Don't share it or resell access to it.

3. Price and payment

• The full build costs $25, paid once. It includes all five stages and 2 months of coaching, starting when you pay. It never turns into a subscription.
• Coaching after 2 months is optional. When your coaching time ends, the coach stops and your chat and progress stay saved. You're only charged again if you choose to continue coaching, which costs $14.99 a month. If you sign up, it renews each month until you cancel.
• Cancel any time from Manage subscription in the coach. Coaching continues until the end of the month you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
• Discount codes apply only where and when we say they do.
• Refunds are only for builds that don't work, after we've reviewed them, as set out in our Refund Policy.
• When you pay, you ask us to give you the course and coaching straight away. If you live in the UK or the EU, you acknowledge that, to the extent the law allows, you lose your right to cancel once your access has started.
• We may change prices for future purchases. If we change the monthly coaching price, we'll tell subscribers by email before it applies to them.

4. The services you'll sign up for

Your brain runs on accounts you open yourself with other companies, such as Supabase, GitHub, Anthropic (the Claude Console and API) and Claude. Those accounts are between you and those companies: their terms, privacy policies, limits and prices apply. Most have free plans; some, like the Anthropic API used in Stage 5, charge for use. You're responsible for any costs on your own accounts. These services change their screens, plans and rules over time, and we can't guarantee any of them will stay available or free.

5. The AI coach

• The coach is an AI model. It can be wrong, misread a screenshot or give instructions that don't match what you see. Check its directions, especially before anything that costs money or can't be undone.
• Never paste passwords, secret keys or private notes into the chat. The coach doesn't need them.
• To keep the service fair and affordable, there's a daily limit on how many messages you can send.

6. What's yours and what's ours

• Yours: your brain, everything you save in it, and the code the coach writes for you in your sessions. You may use, change and keep that code for your own brain.
• Ours: the course itself, including the stage guides, the coach's instructions and prompts, this website and the Thought Process name. You may not copy, extract, publish or resell them, or use the coach to rebuild the course for others.

7. Using the service fairly

Don't use Thought Process to break the law, harm others, attack or overload the service, get around its limits or payments, or try to extract the coach's instructions. We may suspend or close an account that does.

8. If something goes wrong

We provide the course and coach "as is" and "as available". We don't promise that they'll be uninterrupted or error-free, or that following the course will produce a particular result. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data or lost profits, or for anything that happens on your third-party accounts. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

9. Ending your account

You can stop using Thought Process at any time and ask us to delete your account by emailing help@thoughtprocess.uk. We may end accounts that break these terms. Either way, the brain you built keeps running on your own accounts.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you by email or on the site before it takes effect. Using Thought Process after that means you accept the new terms.

11. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, USA. Questions? Email help@thoughtprocess.uk.
