Terms of Service

Last updated: July 12, 2026

Welcome to Breakout Crowd^™. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website at breakoutcrowd.com, our waitlist, and our member features, including accounts, breakout rooms, chat, voice, screen sharing, community tools, and artificial-intelligence features such as Crowder AI^™ (together, the "Service"). The Service includes, uses, and involves AI. By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Breakout Crowd ("Breakout Crowd," "we," "us," or "our"). You can reach us anytime at breakoutcrowd@gmail.com.

2. The Service is evolving

Breakout Crowd is in active development. Early member features, such as accounts, breakout rooms, chat, voice, and screen sharing, are rolling out gradually and may be incomplete or unstable. Other features described on this site may change, be delayed, or not ship at all. We make no promise about launch timing or that any particular feature will be available.

3. Joining the waitlist

Joining the waitlist is free and requires no payment. Submitting your details adds you to our list so we can contact you about Breakout Crowd. Joining the waitlist does not create an account, guarantee you a spot, guarantee access at launch, or entitle you to any specific feature, pricing, or timeline. We may add optional paid plans in the future; if and when we do, separate terms and pricing will apply.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to join the waitlist. By using the Service, you confirm the information you provide is accurate and that it's yours to share.

5. Member accounts

Some features require an account. You're responsible for your account, for keeping your password private, and for everything that happens under your login. Your account is yours alone: don't share it, sell it, or impersonate anyone else. We may suspend or remove accounts that break these Terms.

6. Community standards: keep it clean

Breakout Crowd has a zero-tolerance policy for explicit and inappropriate content. This applies everywhere on the Service: chat messages, room names and topics, profiles, usernames, voice conversations, and anything you show on a screen share. Prohibited content includes:

• Sexually explicit, pornographic, or nude content of any kind;
• Explicit, obscene, or hateful language, including slurs;
• Harassment, bullying, threats, or abuse of other members;
• Violent, gory, or otherwise shocking material;
• Content that sexualizes or endangers minors (reported to authorities, no exceptions);
• Illegal content or content promoting illegal activity.

Showing or sharing explicit or inappropriate content will get your account banned, without warning and without refund of anything owed to you. We use automated filters for text, and we rely on member reports and moderator review for live voice and screen sharing. Every member has a report button; use it. Banned accounts lose access to rooms, chat, and voice immediately.

7. Your content

You own what you create on Breakout Crowd, like your messages, posts, and your profile. By posting it, you give us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, display, and transmit it as needed to run the Service (for example, delivering your message to the room you sent it to). Live voice, camera video, and screen shares are transmitted in real time and are not recorded by us.

You are solely responsible for the content you post, say, show, or share. Only share things you own or have permission to share. That includes anything visible on a screen share. We don't pre-screen member content and we don't endorse it; opinions and ideas shared by members (including anything in Investors Corner) are theirs alone and are not advice from us.

8. Copyright and takedowns

We respect intellectual property and expect the crowd to do the same.

Our marks: "Breakout Crowd", the Breakout Crowd name and logo are trademarks of Breakout Crowd (trademark pending). You may not use them in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or that could confuse people about who runs the Service, without our written permission.

• Takedown requests: if you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, email breakoutcrowd@gmail.com with (1) a description and link or location of the material, (2) your name and contact details, (3) a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, and (4) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the rights owner or authorized to act for them. We remove or disable reported infringing content promptly.
• Counter-notice: if your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, email us with the material identified, your contact details, and a good-faith statement explaining why. We may restore the content if the objection holds up.
• Repeat infringers: accounts that repeatedly post infringing content are terminated.

9. Acceptable use

When using the Service, you agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or someone else's personal information;
• Use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose;
• Post, share, or display content you don't have the rights to share;
• Spam, advertise without permission, or run scams in rooms or chats;
• Attempt to disrupt, probe, or gain unauthorized access to the Service, its systems, or other members' accounts or data;
• Circumvent content filters, rate limits, bans, or other moderation and security measures;
• Scrape, copy, or misuse content from the Service without permission;
• Use Crowder AI or any automated feature to break, overload, crash, or degrade the Service, or to run high-volume, automated, or abusive requests against it or its providers;
• Attempt to make Crowder AI reveal its underlying instructions, prompts, secrets, API keys, source code, or other members' data, or manipulate it (including by "prompt injection," "jailbreaking," or pasting hostile instructions) to bypass its safeguards, these Terms, or any security control;
• Use Crowder AI or the Service to create or facilitate malware, exploits, phishing, credential theft, denial-of-service, or anything designed to attack, compromise, break into, or steal data from the Service, its providers, other members, or any third party;
• Use the Service, Crowder AI, or their outputs to develop, train, or benchmark a competing product or AI model, or to resell or redistribute access.

Any attempt to hack, break, overload, crash, or steal from the Service or its members, or to misuse Crowder AI for those ends, is a serious violation of these Terms. It will result in an immediate ban and may be referred to law enforcement and pursued through all legal remedies available to us.

10. Automated and AI features

Parts of the Service are automated or powered by artificial intelligence, and we want that to be transparent. By using the Service you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Crowder AI. Crowder AI^™ is an in-app assistant that generates responses using a third-party large language model (currently DeepSeek). When you message it, the text you send and limited context (such as your first name) are transmitted to that provider to generate a reply. Crowder AI is software, not a person, and is not a licensed professional of any kind.
• AI output is generated automatically and can be wrong. Responses from Crowder AI are produced by a statistical model. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or entirely made up ("hallucinated"), and are not reviewed by a human before you see them. We do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any AI output. You use it at your own risk and are responsible for independently verifying anything important before relying on it.
• No advice, no professional relationship. Crowder AI provides general information and educational content only. It does not provide financial, investment, trading, legal, tax, accounting, medical, or other professional advice, and using it creates no advisory, fiduciary, broker-dealer, or professional-client relationship between you and Breakout Crowd. See section 11 below.
• Content filtering. Text you submit (chat, posts, profiles, room names) is checked automatically against a language filter before it's accepted.
• Machine translation. Chat offers optional automated translation through a third-party translation service. Translations are generated by software, may be inaccurate, and are not reviewed by a person. The original message is always available.
• We don't present computer-generated content as if it were written by a human member; AI responses are labeled as coming from Crowder AI.

Your responsibility for AI use. You are responsible for what you type into Crowder AI and for any decision you make based on its output. Don't submit other people's personal data, confidential information, passwords, or anything you're not allowed to share. The AI-abuse rules in section 9 apply in full.

11. No financial, investment, or professional advice

Nothing on the Service is professional advice. This applies to Crowder AI, to any calculators or tools, and to anything shared by other members (including in Investors Corner, trade-idea boards, and rooms).

• Not financial or investment advice. Any information about trading, markets, securities, cryptocurrencies, positions, strategies, or risk is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation, and not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security or financial instrument, and it is not a statement that any trade or strategy is suitable for you. We are not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or financial planner, and no content is personalized to your circumstances.
• Not business, legal, tax, or other professional advice. Information about starting or running a business, fundraising, pricing, marketing, contracts, taxes, or similar topics is general information only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your situation.
• Trading involves risk of loss. Trading and investing carry substantial risk, including the loss of some or all of your capital. Past performance and hypothetical or educational examples do not guarantee future results.
• Do your own research and get licensed advice. Before acting on anything you read, generate, or hear on the Service, do your own research and consult a licensed financial, legal, tax, or other professional as appropriate. You alone are responsible for your decisions and their outcomes.
• No liability for reliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Breakout Crowd is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on Crowder AI, our tools, or member content, including any trading, investment, or business losses.

12. Moderation, suspension, and bans

We can remove content, close rooms, and suspend or permanently ban accounts at our discretion when we believe these Terms have been broken, with explicit or inappropriate content leading to an immediate ban as described above. Room hosts can also moderate their own rooms, including muting members and removing them. If you believe a moderation action was a mistake, email breakoutcrowd@gmail.com and we'll take a look.

13. Intellectual property

The Service and its content, including the Breakout Crowd name, logo, the Crowder AI name, text, graphics, and design, are owned by Breakout Crowd or its licensors and are protected by applicable laws. These Terms don't grant you any right to use our branding without our prior written permission.

14. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party providers to run the Service: our website host, our form and email providers, our database and authentication provider, our real-time voice infrastructure, our machine-translation provider, and our AI model provider (currently DeepSeek), which powers Crowder AI. They process data on our behalf, and your use of the relevant features may also be subject to those providers' terms and policies. See our Privacy Policy for more on how your data is handled.

15. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any described feature will launch. This expressly includes Crowder AI and all automated features: their output is provided "as is," may be inaccurate or incomplete, and comes with no warranty of accuracy, reliability, or fitness for any purpose.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Breakout Crowd will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Content posted by members belongs to and is the responsibility of those members, and output generated by Crowder AI and other automated features is used at your own risk; to the fullest extent permitted by law we are not liable for either, or for any decision you make in reliance on them. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of one hundred US dollars ($100) or the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

17. Dispute resolution: binding arbitration and class action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

• Talk to us first: before filing any claim, email breakoutcrowd@gmail.com with a description of the dispute. We'll try to resolve it informally within 30 days.
• Binding arbitration: if we can't resolve it informally, you and Breakout Crowd agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The arbitrator's decision is final and enforceable in any court with jurisdiction.
• Exceptions: either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, or seek injunctive relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
• Class action waiver: disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You and Breakout Crowd each waive the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.
• Opt-out: you can opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing breakoutcrowd@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your account email and a statement that you opt out of arbitration.
• Governing law: these Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where state law applies, the laws of the state in which Breakout Crowd's operator is based, without regard to conflict of law rules.

18. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; when we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
