Terms of Service

Effective November 10, 2026

These terms are a contract between you and FlashGPT ("FlashGPT", "we", "us"). They cover the FlashGPT Mac app, the FlashGPT website and our answer service (together, the "Service").

1. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms when you buy a plan, install FlashGPT or use the Service. If you don't agree, don't use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you can bind that organization to these terms.

We may update these terms. When we do, we change the date at the top and post the new version here. If a change is material, we will give reasonable notice, for example on this site or by email to the address you bought with. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms. Changes don't apply to disputes that arose before the change.

2. Who can use FlashGPT

You must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must agree to these terms for you and is responsible for your use. You may not use the Service if the law prohibits you from doing so, or if we have previously terminated your access.

3. What the Service does

FlashGPT is a Mac app. When you hover the notch, or the top centre of a screen without a notch, the app takes a screenshot of that display and sends it, together with the name of the app in front and its window title, to our servers. Our servers send it to a third-party AI model, and the answer is shown in a panel under the notch. The Privacy Policy explains this in detail.

FlashGPT needs macOS 14 or later, an internet connection, and the Screen Recording permission. We may change, add or remove features, AI models or providers at any time, including to keep the Service reliable, safe and affordable. We don't promise that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted or error free, or that it will keep working with future versions of macOS.

4. Plans, billing and automatic renewal

Purchases are processed by Whop, Inc. ("Whop"), which acts as our payment processor and merchant of record. Whop's own terms and privacy policy also apply to your purchase. Prices are in US dollars. Sales tax or VAT is added where required.

Weekly and monthly plans renew automatically. A weekly plan renews every 7 days and a monthly plan renews every 30 days, and Whop charges your payment method the plan's price at each renewal until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from your Whop orders page. Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for, and then your license stops working.

If we change the price of a renewing plan, we will tell you before the change applies to your next renewal, and you can cancel before then.

A lifetime plan is a single payment. "Lifetime" means for as long as we offer the FlashGPT app and answer service, not for your lifetime or the lifetime of a device. It includes updates we release during that time and is subject to the lifetime daily limit in section 7.

If a renewal payment fails, Whop may retry it, and your access may be limited until the payment succeeds.

5. All sales are final

Because FlashGPT is digital software that starts working as soon as you receive your key, all purchases are final and non-refundable. That includes partial weeks or months after you cancel, unused answers, and lifetime purchases. This doesn't limit any refund right you have under laws that can't be waived.

If something isn't working, contact us before you open a dispute with your bank, and we'll try to fix it. If you file a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend your license while it is resolved.

6. Your license

When you buy a plan, you get a license key. While your plan is active and you follow these terms, we give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to install and use FlashGPT on one Mac at a time.

• The first time you use your key, it is tied to that Mac through a device identifier (see the Privacy Policy). To move to another Mac, reset the key from your Whop orders page. We may limit resets if we see a key being passed between people.
• Your license is for you. You may not share, sell, rent, lend or transfer your key or your access.
• We and our licensors own FlashGPT and keep all rights we don't expressly give you.

7. Daily limits and fair use

Each plan includes a daily number of answers: up to 500 a day on weekly and monthly plans, and up to 150 a day on the lifetime plan. The count resets at 00:00 UTC. Each request also has size limits. These limits exist to keep the Service fast and affordable for everyone.

We may adjust limits, models or request sizes to protect the Service. If we make a material reduction to a paid plan's daily limit, we will give notice, and subscribers can cancel before their next renewal.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service in a way that breaks any law or regulation, or infringes anyone's rights;
• capture or send content that you don't have the right to process, including other people's personal information or confidential information, where doing so would violate a law, a contract or a duty you owe;
• share, resell or publish license keys, or let other people use your access;
• copy, modify, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the app, or try to get its source code, except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction;
• get around or interfere with license checks, device binding, daily limits or any security feature;
• access our servers or answer service other than through the official FlashGPT app, including through scripts, bots, proxies or your own software, or use the Service to build or train a competing product;
• overload, attack or disrupt the Service or the networks it runs on;
• use the Service to create content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, sexually exploits minors, or promotes violence;
• break the usage policies of the AI providers that power the Service, which apply to the content you send.

9. Following the rules that apply to you

Many schools, testing services, employers, interviewers and online platforms have rules about using AI tools, screen capture or outside help. FlashGPT doesn't know those rules and doesn't check them. You are solely responsible for knowing and following every rule, policy, honor code and agreement that applies to you, including academic integrity policies, exam and testing rules, employment policies and platform terms. We don't encourage anyone to break those rules. You are responsible for any consequences of how you use FlashGPT, including academic, disciplinary or employment consequences.

Screenshots can include other people's information, such as messages or emails. You are responsible for making sure you're allowed to capture and process what's on your screen.

10. Screen shares and recordings

FlashGPT asks macOS to leave its panel out of screen sharing and screen recording. Whether that works depends on macOS and on the app doing the sharing or recording, and it can change with software updates. It is best effort only. We don't promise that the panel will be hidden, that your use of FlashGPT can't be seen or detected, or that it will stay hidden in the future.

11. AI answers

Answers are generated automatically by third-party AI models and can be wrong, incomplete, outdated or inappropriate. They are not legal, medical, financial, tax or other professional advice. Check anything important before you rely on it. You are responsible for how you use answers and for decisions you make based on them. Other people may receive similar answers.

As between you and us, you keep any rights you have in what you send, and you may use the answers you receive, as long as you follow these terms and the law.

12. Third-party services

The Service depends on other companies, including Whop for payments and licenses, Cloudflare for hosting, and OpenAI and OpenRouter for AI models. FlashGPT is not affiliated with Apple Inc. or OpenAI. We aren't responsible for third-party services, and their terms apply to your use of them.

13. Updates

We may release updates to the app. Some updates may be needed for the Service to keep working. We may stop supporting older versions of the app or of macOS.

14. Our intellectual property and your feedback

The FlashGPT name, logo, app, website and Service belong to us or our licensors. These terms don't give you any right to use our name or branding. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

15. Suspension and termination

You can stop using FlashGPT at any time, and you can cancel a renewing plan as described in section 4.

We may suspend or end your license, without a refund, if you break these terms, if we reasonably suspect fraud, key sharing, a chargeback or abuse, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, or if the law requires it. We may also discontinue the Service. If we discontinue it while you have an active weekly or monthly plan, we will stop future renewals. Sections 5, 9 to 12, and 14 to 22 continue after your license ends.

16. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent the law allows, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and that the Service will be hidden from screen sharing or recording or will be undetectable. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, FlashGPT and its owners, contractors and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, grades, academic standing or employment, arising from or related to the Service or these terms, even if we were told such damages were possible. Our total liability for all claims related to the Service or these terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so some of them may not apply to you.

18. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless FlashGPT and its owners, contractors and suppliers from any claims, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Service, your content, your breach of these terms, or your breach of any law, rule or policy that applies to you (including those in section 9).

19. Disputes and arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes are resolved.

Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us and describe the problem, and to give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally.

Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it, you and FlashGPT agree that any dispute arising from or relating to the Service or these terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Georgia, USA, or by video or phone if you prefer. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Either party may also seek an injunction in court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

No class actions. You and FlashGPT may bring claims only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective or representative proceeding. You and FlashGPT each waive the right to a jury trial.

Opting out. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after you first accept these terms by sending us a message through the contact form with the topic "Other", the subject "Arbitration opt-out", and the email you bought with.

If this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will be decided only in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, USA, and you and FlashGPT consent to their jurisdiction.

20. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs section 19. If you live outside the US, you keep any protections of your local consumer law that can't be waived.

21. Export controls

You may not use the Service if you are located in, or ordinarily resident in, a country or region under comprehensive US sanctions, or if you are on a US government list of restricted parties.

22. General

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and FlashGPT about the Service. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect. If we don't enforce a right, we haven't waived it. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, or to a successor. We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nobody else has rights under these terms. We may send notices to the email address you bought with or by posting them on this site.
