TERMS OF USE

TERMS OF USE OF THE WEBSITE

Effective Date: January 29, 2026

1. Overview

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at www.bythegraceofcode.com and any subdomains (the “Website”), including the LORD AI™ experience and any associated content, features, tools, or services (collectively, the “Services”).

By the Grace of Code L.L.C. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Wyoming limited liability company formed in 2024 by American entrepreneur James Edward Billetz.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms without modification. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Services.

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting updated Terms on the Website and updating the “Effective Date” above. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of the Services

2.1 LORD AI™

LORD AI™ is an agentic AI coaching experience designed to help users think clearly, act intentionally, and pursue personal and professional growth.

LORD AI™ is accessible through:

The ChatGPT Atlas side panel when you navigate to bythegraceofcode.com/lord-ai in the Atlas browser; and
Other interfaces or surfaces we may introduce from time to time.

LORD AI™ begins with simple prompts such as “What’s happening?”, “What matters?”, and “What does success look like?” and is intended to support structured reflection, planning, and action—not professional advice.

LORD AI™ is an experimental, evolving experience. Features, behaviors, and available capabilities may change over time as we test, refine, and improve the system.

2.2 Free Public Good

LORD AI™ is offered as a free public-good experience:

No fees
No subscriptions
No paywalls

We reserve the right to introduce new services or premium offerings in the future, but LORD AI™ in its current form is intended to remain free to use.

2.3 Technology Providers

The Services—including LORD AI™—use OpenAI services (such as ChatGPT and ChatGPT Atlas, and other OpenAI services we may integrate in the future) to generate text and other AI-assisted content.

We integrate these services through OpenAI’s APIs and products. Your use of the Services is subject to both:

These Terms; and
OpenAI’s applicable terms, policies, and usage guidelines (see OpenAI’s “Terms & policies” page at https://openai.com/policies/).

2.4 Relationship with OpenAI

LORD AI™ and the Website are offered by By the Grace of Code L.L.C. and are not products or services of OpenAI. We build on OpenAI technologies (including ChatGPT and ChatGPT Atlas), but we operate LORD AI™ independently. Your use of LORD AI™ is governed by these Terms, and your use of OpenAI’s services (including ChatGPT and ChatGPT Atlas) is also subject to OpenAI’s own terms, service agreements, and usage policies.

3. Eligibility and Age Requirements

3.1 Age 18+ Only

The Services—and LORD AI™ in particular—are intended only for adults ages 18 and older.

You may not use LORD AI™ or the Services if:

You are under 18; or
You are using LORD AI™ on behalf of a minor, including your own child.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.

If we learn or reasonably suspect that you are under 18 or have misrepresented your age, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Services immediately.

4. Your Account and Access

4.1 ChatGPT / Atlas Accounts

Accessing LORD AI™ through ChatGPT Atlas may require:

A valid OpenAI ChatGPT account; and
A compatible environment (for example, macOS or another platform supported by the Atlas app or web experience).

Your ChatGPT account and use of Atlas are governed by OpenAI’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Service Terms, and any other applicable OpenAI policies.

4.2 Your Responsibility for Access

You are responsible for:

Maintaining the security of any login credentials or devices used to access the Services;
Ensuring that only you (and not any minor) use your account to access LORD AI™; and
Complying with all applicable laws and these Terms.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Services at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms or OpenAI’s usage policies.

5. User Content and AI-Generated Content

5.1 Your Content (Input)

“User Content” includes any text, information, or other material you submit, upload, or provide to the Services, including prompts and conversation history with LORD AI™.

You are responsible for your User Content and represent and warrant that:

You have all necessary rights to provide the User Content;
Your User Content does not violate any law or the rights of any third party; and
Your User Content complies with these Terms.

5.2 AI Output

“AI Output” means text or other content generated by AI models in response to User Content or use of the Services.

Subject to applicable law, and as between you and the Company, you own your User Content and you own AI Output generated for you, to the extent permitted by OpenAI’s applicable terms and intellectual property law.

Because of the nature of generative AI, AI Output may not be unique. Other users may receive similar or identical outputs from OpenAI services, and such outputs are not considered your confidential or exclusive content.

You are solely responsible for how you use AI Output and for evaluating its accuracy, suitability, and legality for your particular use case.

5.3 License to the Company

By providing User Content or using the Services, you grant the Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to:

Use, reproduce, display, and modify your User Content and AI Output as necessary to operate, maintain, improve, secure, and provide the Services, including by transmitting it to and processing it with third-party service providers such as OpenAI; and
Create aggregated or de-identified analytics and insights about usage of the Services.

We do not claim ownership of your underlying personal reflections or life details; the license is limited to operating and improving LORD AI™ and the Website.

6. How LORD AI™ Should—and Should Not—Be Used

6.1 Intended Purpose

LORD AI™ is designed as an AI coaching and reflection tool to help you:

Clarify what is happening in your life and work;
Identify what matters to you;
Explore what success looks like; and
Break big goals into manageable next steps.

LORD AI™ is not an oracle, dictator, or authority over your life. It is a structured thinking partner and coach.

6.2 No Professional Advice

LORD AI™ does not provide and must not be used as a substitute for:

Clinical mental-health diagnosis or treatment;
Medical advice or care;
Legal advice;
Financial advice or planning;
Emergency response or crisis intervention; or
Any service provided by licensed or regulated professionals.

All interactions with LORD AI™ are for general informational and self-help purposes only and are not tailored professional advice.

You agree not to rely on LORD AI™ for:

Diagnosis, treatment, or management of mental or physical health conditions;
Making legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical decisions; or
Any decision that could reasonably have serious consequences for your health, safety, finances, or legal rights.

You must consult qualified professionals before making major decisions about your health, safety, relationships, finances, or legal matters.

In line with OpenAI’s usage policies, you agree to use LORD AI™ as a tool to support your thinking and research, not as a substitute for human professional judgment, and to ensure that any important documents or decisions informed by LORD AI™ are reviewed by qualified human professionals before you rely on them.

6.3 Crisis and Safety

LORD AI™ cannot help in an emergency or crisis.

If you experience any of the following, you must stop using LORD AI™ immediately and contact qualified humans who can support you:

Immediate physical danger;
Thoughts of harming yourself or others;
Thoughts, plans, or intentions related to suicide;
Self-harm behavior;
Overwhelming or uncontrollable thoughts;
An inability to ensure your own safety.

If you are in the United States, you can call or text 988 or use the chat at the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are outside the U.S., contact your local emergency number or a crisis hotline in your country.

6.4 User Responsibilities

When using LORD AI™, you agree to:

Use it as a coach, not as a replacement for therapists, doctors, lawyers, financial advisors, or trusted human support;
Be open and honest while protecting your privacy—avoid sharing anything you would not want stored or processed online;
Gut-check major decisions with a human you trust: friend, partner, mentor, teacher, advisor, or licensed professional;
Avoid making life-altering decisions exclusively in the chat; and
Stay grounded in real-world support structures and relationships.

You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for your choices, actions, and life decisions—not LORD AI™.

7. Prohibited Uses

You may not use the Services (including LORD AI™) to:

Violate any law, regulation, or third-party rights;
Provide or attempt to provide tailored professional advice requiring a license (e.g., legal, medical, financial) without appropriate involvement by a licensed professional;
Automate high-stakes decisions (such as employment, credit, insurance, housing, essential services, or medical decisions) without human review and oversight;
Promote or facilitate suicide, self-harm (including eating disorders), or violence;
Generate or disseminate hate speech, harassment, or threats;
Create or distribute sexually explicit, exploitative, or abusive content, including content involving minors or sexual violence;
Infringe intellectual property rights or encourage others to do so;
Engage in fraud, deception, or unlawful surveillance;
Input highly sensitive personal data (such as government IDs, passwords, bank accounts, or detailed medical records) into LORD AI™;
Attempt to reverse engineer, circumvent, or misuse the underlying AI models, security protections, or technical safeguards; or
Use the Services in any way that would cause us or our providers (including OpenAI) to violate OpenAI’s then-current usage policies or other applicable OpenAI terms (see https://openai.com/policies/).

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services for any violation of these prohibited uses or for other behavior we reasonably believe is harmful to users or third parties.

8. Privacy, Safety, and Use of OpenAI Services

8.1 High-Level Privacy Expectations

You should not share:

Names, addresses, or contact details;
Passwords or authentication credentials;
Financial account numbers;
Government-issued identifiers;
Detailed medical or mental-health history.

Keep your messages at the level you would share with a trusted mentor, not a medical chart or legal dossier.

Details about how we collect, use, and share data (including use of OpenAI services) are described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms and should be read carefully.

8.2 OpenAI and ChatGPT Atlas

Our Services rely on OpenAI services including ChatGPT and ChatGPT Atlas.

This means:

Your prompts and interactions may be transmitted to and processed by OpenAI’s systems to generate AI Output;
ChatGPT Atlas, as an AI browser, may process information about the webpages you visit, including content from bythegraceofcode.com/lord-ai, to support your LORD AI™ experience;
OpenAI’s own terms, policies, and usage restrictions apply in addition to these Terms.

OpenAI independently determines how it processes and stores data when you use ChatGPT or ChatGPT Atlas and may retain certain data for security, abuse monitoring, or service-improvement purposes in line with its own policies. We do not control OpenAI’s internal data practices. For details, please review OpenAI’s privacy and data-control documentation (including ChatGPT Data Controls and ChatGPT Atlas data controls) and its Terms & Policies page at https://openai.com/policies/.

We follow OpenAI’s usage policies, including restrictions around mental-health, legal, medical, and financial advice, and crisis content.
