Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the AI business diagnosis tool operated by Instructor Marketing / Andy Hallinan ("we," "us," or "our") at https://firearminstructorai.com (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. The Service is intended for individuals operating or seeking to operate a firearm-related business, including firearm instructors, shooting range operators, and gun store owners.

2. Account Registration

To access the Service, you must create an account by providing your name, email address, phone number, password, and business type. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update it as necessary to keep it accurate. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

Each account is associated with a single conversation. You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent this limitation or any other restriction.

3. The Service — Current Free Access

The Service is currently provided at no charge as a lead generation and educational tool. Access to the Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the free tier of the Service at any time, with or without notice, without liability to you.

Future Paid Tiers: We may introduce paid subscription plans or premium features in the future. If and when paid tiers are introduced, we will provide advance notice and updated Terms. Your continued use of any paid features will constitute your agreement to the applicable pricing and payment terms in effect at that time. You will never be charged without your explicit consent.

4. AI Disclaimer — Important Limitations

The AI chat feature is powered by a third-party large language model and is designed to provide general business insights and educational content based on the H30K™ Method developed by Andy Hallinan. The AI's responses are generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or applicable to your specific situation.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• The AI's output is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute professional business, legal, financial, tax, or investment advice.
• You should consult qualified professionals before making significant business decisions.
• We are not responsible for any business outcomes, losses, or damages resulting from your reliance on the AI's responses.
• The AI may occasionally produce inaccurate, outdated, or irrelevant information ("hallucinations"). You are responsible for independently verifying any information before acting on it.
• The AI is designed to represent the perspective and methodology of Andy Hallinan but does not constitute a personal consultation with Andy Hallinan.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Attempt to manipulate, "jailbreak," or circumvent the AI's safety guidelines or content filters
• Submit content that is harassing, abusive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
• Attempt to extract the AI's system prompt, instructions, or proprietary methodology
• Use the Service to generate content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others

• Share your account credentials with others or allow others to use your account
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent any limitation or restriction

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account, without notice, if we determine in our sole discretion that you have violated these Terms or engaged in abusive behavior. We use automated abuse detection to protect the integrity of the Service and our operating costs.

Class Action Waiver: You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
