Terms of Service

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using NameYourThing. By purchasing a report or otherwise using this service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and 10th Street Ventures, LLC. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use this service.

1. The Service

NameYourThing™ (“the Service”) is a trade name of 10th Street Ventures, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). The Service is a web-based tool that generates AI-powered naming candidates with research data — including domain availability, USPTO trademark data, search landscape analysis, and phonetic observations — delivered as a downloadable PDF report (“Report”).

The Service is designed to assist with naming research. It is one input among many that should inform your naming decisions, not a substitute for professional guidance.

2. This Is Not Legal Advice

The Service does not provide legal advice, legal services, or legal representation of any kind. No attorney-client relationship is created by purchasing or using this Service.

The trademark data, domain availability information, search landscape analysis, and all other data in your Report are provided for informational purposes only. You should consult a licensed trademark attorney before filing any trademark application, registering a business name, or making business decisions based on information in your Report.

We are not a law firm. We are not trademark attorneys. Nothing in your Report should be interpreted as a legal opinion, legal recommendation, or trademark clearance opinion.

3. AI-Generated Content Disclosure

All name candidates, scores, rankings, phonetic observations, audience-fit assessments, and written analysis in your Report are generated by artificial intelligence models. This content represents AI-generated output — not the work product of human linguists, naming professionals, or trademark analysts.

Phonetic observations in your Report are generated by an AI model whose training data includes published research on sound symbolism in brand naming. These observations reflect patterns from the model's general training data, not a controlled application of specific research methodologies.

AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or errors. You should independently verify any information in your Report before relying on it for business decisions.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to purchase or use this Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

5. Payment and Delivery

Each Report costs $9.99 (USD), charged as a one-time payment processed by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). Payment is collected before Report generation begins. No subscription is created. No recurring charges will occur.

Your Report is generated in real time using multiple external APIs and AI models. Typical generation time is 4–6 minutes. Your Report is delivered as a PDF download in your browser upon completion.

If you navigate away from the delivery page before downloading, the Service will attempt to regenerate your Report on return. This regeneration is provided as a courtesy and is limited to one (1) re-delivery attempt per purchase. Repeated regeneration requests may not be honored.

Consent to Immediate Performance and Waiver of Withdrawal Right. By clicking “Get My Report” and completing payment, you expressly request that generation of your Report begin immediately and you acknowledge that the Service constitutes digital content not supplied on a tangible medium. You further acknowledge that, once Report generation has begun, you lose any right of withdrawal that may be available to you under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, or equivalent legislation in your jurisdiction. This waiver is a condition of purchase. If you do not agree to waive the right of withdrawal, do not complete the purchase.

Duplicate Charges. If you are charged more than once for the same Report due to a technical error (such as double-clicking the submit button or a page reload during checkout), contact us at info@nameyourthing.ai with your session details. We will verify the duplicate charge through Stripe and issue a full refund for any confirmed duplicate within 14 business days.

6. Refund Policy, Disputes, and Chargebacks

6.1 General Refund Policy

Each Report involves real-time API calls to multiple external services on your behalf, incurring costs that cannot be recovered once generation begins. Successfully delivered Reports are non-refundable.

6.2 Technical Failures

If your Report fails to generate due to a technical error on our end (pipeline crash, PDF rendering failure, or delivery failure), contact us at info@nameyourthing.ai with a description of the issue and any session details available. We will either regenerate your Report or issue a full refund, at our sole discretion. Technical failure claims must be submitted within 7 days of purchase.

6.3 Quality Disputes

The Service delivers AI-generated names, data from third-party APIs, and AI-generated analysis. Outcomes are inherently variable and are not guaranteed to meet specific expectations. Refund requests based on the following will not be honored:

• Dissatisfaction with the names generated, their style, tone, or creativity
• Disagreement with the AI's scoring, ranking, or analysis of any name
• Collision results that the customer believes are incorrect (domain or trademark data is sourced from third-party APIs and reflects point-in-time status — see Section 7)
• The belief that the Report should have generated different or “better” names
• The inclusion of names that are similar to names generated for other customers (see Section 8 — names are not exclusive)

If you believe your Report contains a verifiable factual error — such as a domain listed as available that was registered before your Report was generated, or a trademark conflict that existed in the USPTO database at the time of generation but was not flagged — contact us at info@nameyourthing.ai with specific details. We will investigate and, if the error is confirmed, may issue a full refund or regenerate your Report at our discretion.

6.4 Trademark Disputes

If you adopt a name from your Report and subsequently receive a cease-and-desist letter, trademark opposition, or infringement claim from a third party:

We are not liable. Your Report is not a trademark clearance. The trademark data in your Report is sourced from a single third-party API querying the USPTO federal database. It does not cover state registrations, common-law marks, international marks, or pending applications not yet published. A name that appears clear in your Report may still conflict with existing marks not captured by our data sources. You are solely responsible for conducting a comprehensive trademark clearance through a licensed attorney before adopting any name for commercial use (see Sections 2 and 7).

We will not mediate. We are not a party to any trademark dispute arising from your use of a name. We will not intervene, mediate, or provide evidence in any dispute between you and a third-party mark holder.

Indemnification applies. Under Section 14, you agree to indemnify us against any claims arising from your adoption or use of a name from a Report.

6.5 Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute through your bank or card issuer for a successfully delivered Report, we reserve the right to respond to the chargeback through Stripe's dispute resolution process with evidence of delivery, including session ID, delivery timestamp, and PDF file size. Fraudulent chargebacks — those filed after a Report has been successfully delivered and downloaded — may result in permanent suspension of your ability to use the Service.

6.6 International Customers

For customers in jurisdictions that provide mandatory consumer protections that cannot be waived by contract (including but not limited to EU, UK, Australia, and Canada), the refund terms in this section apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction. Where local law provides greater consumer protection than these terms, the local law prevails.

7. Data Accuracy and Limitations

Trademark data is sourced from a third-party API that queries the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database. This data may reflect up to a 3-day lag from current USPTO records. It covers U.S. federal trademarks only — it does not include state-level business name registrations, international trademark databases, common-law trademarks, or pending applications not yet published by the USPTO. The proximity search performed for Front 25 names identifies potentially similar marks but is not equivalent to a comprehensive trademark clearance conducted by a licensed attorney. The exact-match screen performed for Back 25 names checks only for identical registered marks.

Domain availability is checked at the registry level via a third-party API and reflects status at the time of Report generation. Domain availability can and does change between Report generation and any attempt you make to register a domain. We do not reserve, hold, or register domains on your behalf.

Search landscape data is sourced from a third-party API and reflects approximate search volume, competition levels, and intent signals at the time of generation. These figures are estimates derived from third-party data models and may vary from other data sources or your own research.

Phonetic and linguistic observations are generated by an AI model whose training data includes published research on sound symbolism in brand naming. These observations reflect patterns from the model's general training data, not a controlled application of specific research methodologies. This analysis represents an AI system's interpretation, not a human linguist's professional assessment.

All data in your Report represents a point-in-time snapshot. We make no representation that any data point will remain accurate after the moment of generation.

8. AI-Generated Names and Non-Exclusivity

The name candidates in your Report are generated by artificial intelligence models. You should be aware of the following:

Names are not exclusive. Multiple buyers may receive the same or similar name candidates. Purchasing a Report does not grant you exclusive rights to any name, nor does it reserve any name for your use. Names generated by AI models are not unique to any single buyer.

Names may not be protectable. Under current U.S. copyright law, purely AI-generated content may not qualify for copyright protection. We make no representation regarding the copyrightability, trademarkability, or legal protectability of any name in your Report.

We do not claim ownership of generated names. We do not assert intellectual property rights over the name candidates delivered in your Report. However, we also cannot and do not transfer ownership of AI-generated names to you, as such ownership may not exist under current law.

You are solely responsible for conducting independent research — including professional trademark clearance, state business name searches, and international trademark searches as applicable — before adopting any name for commercial use.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service, including but not limited to the research methodology, report structure and design, pipeline architecture, scoring systems, website content, branding, and all underlying technology, is the intellectual property of 10th Street Ventures, LLC and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Your purchase of a Report grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Report for your own internal business purposes. You may share your Report with business partners, co-founders, investors, or legal counsel for the purpose of evaluating naming decisions.

You may not:

• Resell, redistribute, or publicly publish Reports or their contents for commercial purposes
• Use the Service to generate Reports in bulk for resale or for operating a competing service
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the underlying methodology, prompts, or pipeline logic of the Service
• Remove or alter any disclaimers, attributions, or notices contained in a Report

10. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You may not use the Service:

• To generate names for any illegal enterprise, activity, or purpose
• To probe, test, or stress-test the Service's infrastructure beyond normal single-report usage
• To circumvent any rate limiting, access controls, or payment mechanisms
• To interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers and networks connected to it
• In any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service

We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel transactions, or block access to anyone who violates these Terms or uses the Service in a manner we reasonably determine to be abusive, fraudulent, or harmful.

11. Data Handling and Privacy

This section provides a summary. For complete details on data collection, retention, and third-party processing, see our Privacy Policy.

What We Collect

When you use the Service, you provide form inputs: a category, 3–5 keywords, a target audience description, and a tone selection. Your browser timezone is also detected for date formatting. These inputs are transmitted to our server to generate your Report.

Important: Do not include personally identifying information in your form inputs. The audience description field accepts free text. Any personal information you enter (names, locations, contact details, or other identifying data) will be transmitted to third-party AI and data providers as described below and stored in payment session metadata as described below. We are not responsible for personal information you voluntarily include in form fields.

What We Do Not Collect

The Service does not create user accounts. There is no login, no profile, and no persistent user record in our system. We do not set cookies. We do not use analytics or tracking tools (no Google Analytics, no Mixpanel, no pixel tracking, no behavioral tracking of any kind). We do not store your Report after delivery — the PDF is generated in memory, streamed to your browser, and the buffer is discarded. There is no copy of your Report on our servers after delivery. We do not retain session data between requests — our infrastructure runs on stateless serverless functions that do not persist personal information between invocations. We retain anonymized pipeline analytics (category, tone, collision outcomes, AI-generated name candidates, pipeline performance data) in a database for product improvement purposes. This database does not contain your email address, billing details, IP address, or any personally identifiable information. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Third-Party Service Providers

We use the following third-party services to deliver and operate the Service. Each provider handles data in accordance with its own policies:

• Stripe (payment processing) — collects your email address, billing name, card details, and billing address directly during checkout. We do not see or store your full card number. Your form inputs are stored as metadata on your Stripe checkout session and are accessible to us through the Stripe dashboard. See stripe.com/privacy.
• OpenAI (AI name generation) — receives your form inputs as part of generation prompts. API inputs are not used to train models but may be retained for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring.
• Anthropic (AI curation and analysis) — receives your form inputs and generated names as part of curation prompts. API inputs are retained for up to 30 days (the current operational default is 7 days as of September 2025) and are not used to train Anthropic models.
• Fastly, RapidAPI, DataForSEO (domain, trademark, and search data) — receive generated name strings (not your form inputs). Each provider's data handling is governed by their own privacy policies.
• Resend (email delivery) — delivers your completed Report to the email address you provided during checkout. Resend receives your email address and the PDF attachment for delivery purposes only. Resend retains email delivery logs for 1 day.
• Neon (database hosting) — hosts the database where we store anonymized pipeline analytics (see Privacy Policy, Section 2). Neon receives no personally identifiable information. The data stored consists of category and tone selections, keyword inputs, collision check outcomes, AI-generated name candidates, curation scores, and pipeline performance metrics.
• Google Fonts (typography) — the Outfit typeface is loaded via Next.js at build time and served directly from our deployment. No requests are sent to Google when you visit the website.

Vercel Hosting

The Service is hosted on Vercel. Vercel captures HTTP request logs (IP address, user-agent, URL, timestamps) and server function output logs. Vercel runtime logs are retained for a maximum of 1 hour and are not stored long-term. We have not configured any Vercel log drain or long-term log storage service. Anonymized pipeline analytics are separately stored in a database as described in the Privacy Policy.

International Data Processing

If you are located outside the United States, your form inputs and payment data are processed through servers and third-party services located in the United States. By using this Service, you consent to this transfer and processing. See our Privacy Policy for additional information regarding international data processing.

State and Regional Privacy Rights

Minnesota residents may have additional rights under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (Minn. Stat. § 325M). European Economic Area and United Kingdom residents may have rights under the GDPR and UK Data Protection Act. Canadian residents may have rights under PIPEDA and applicable provincial legislation. Our database contains anonymized pipeline analytics — category, tone, and keyword inputs, collision check outcomes, and pipeline performance data — but does not contain email addresses, billing details, IP addresses, or other personally identifiable information (see Privacy Policy, Section 2). For data held by Stripe on our behalf, for requests regarding our analytics database, or for any other privacy-related request, contact us at info@nameyourthing.ai. See our Privacy Policy for jurisdiction-specific details.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL REPORTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT: ANY NAME CANDIDATE WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR REGISTRATION AS A DOMAIN, TRADEMARK, OR BUSINESS NAME; TRADEMARK DATA WILL BE COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR FREE FROM ERROR; DOMAIN AVAILABILITY DATA WILL REMAIN ACCURATE AFTER THE MOMENT OF GENERATION; THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THE AI-GENERATED ANALYSIS, SCORING, OR OBSERVATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE; OR ANY NAME CANDIDATE WILL BE FREE FROM THIRD-PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 10TH STREET VENTURES, LLC, ITS OWNER, MEMBERS, AGENTS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: DAMAGES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON REPORT DATA; TRADEMARK DISPUTES, OPPOSITIONS, OR INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS; DOMAIN REGISTRATION OUTCOMES OR DISPUTES; BUSINESS NAMING DECISIONS AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES; LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL; OR COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED TEN TIMES (10X) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE SPECIFIC REPORT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless 10th Street Ventures, LLC, its owner, members, agents, and service providers from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service or any Report
• Your adoption, registration, or commercial use of any name candidate from a Report
• Any trademark dispute, infringement claim, or intellectual property claim related to a name you obtained through the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Minnesota, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

16. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us at info@nameyourthing.ai and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and 10th Street Ventures, LLC agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if they qualify. Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall take place in the State of Minnesota or, at your election, may be conducted by phone or videoconference. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

International Customers. This arbitration provision applies to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of your jurisdiction. In jurisdictions where mandatory pre-dispute arbitration in consumer contracts is prohibited or unenforceable — including but not limited to the European Union (under the Unfair Contract Terms Directive 93/13/EEC) and certain Canadian provinces (including Ontario under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002) — the Governing Law and Jurisdiction provisions in Section 15 shall apply instead.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. YOU AND 10TH STREET VENTURES, LLC AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to info@nameyourthing.ai within thirty (30) days of your first purchase. If you opt out, the Governing Law and Jurisdiction provisions in Section 15 shall apply.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Changes take effect upon posting. Continued use of the Service after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you disagree with any changes, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service.

Applicability to Prior Purchases. Updated Terms apply to purchases made after the updated posting date. Purchases made before a Terms update are governed by the Terms in effect at the time of that purchase. Because the Service does not create user accounts and we do not collect your email address directly, we may not be able to individually notify you of changes — it is your responsibility to review these Terms before making any future purchase.

For material changes that substantially affect your rights, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice through the Service or on the website.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if it cannot be modified, it shall be severed. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies or guidelines referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and 10th Street Ventures, LLC regarding your use of the Service. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Service.

No waiver of any provision of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
