Nowen — Terms and Conditions

Last updated: July 24, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Nowen (the “Service”), operated by Haycion Inc. (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

Nowen generates business ideas using artificial intelligence based on the skills, experience, and interests you describe. The Service includes idea generation, scoring, an AI Advisor chat for iterating on an idea, and a public portal where certain ideas are published as described in Section 5.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. You are responsible for your account credentials and all activity under your account. Provide accurate information and keep it current.

3. Plans, Billing, and Cancellation

Free plan. Includes a limited number of idea generations per month (currently 2) and teaser-level results. Free-plan output is published to the public portal as described in Section 5.

Paid plans (“Pro” and “Ultra”). Paid plan features and pricing are as described on our pricing page at the time of purchase. Paid plans include an allowance of generation credits per billing period; credits reset at the start of each billing period and unused credits do not roll over. The number of credits consumed per generation may vary by plan and feature, as indicated in the Service. Credits have no cash value and are not transferable. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processor (Stripe). You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable, including for unused credits.

We may change plan features, quotas, or pricing prospectively. Material changes will be communicated in advance and apply from your next billing period.

4. User-Generated Content — Important Disclaimers

No advice. Generated ideas, scores, market-size estimates, and revenue figures are illustrative outputs of an AI system. They are not business, legal, financial, or investment advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating and acting on any idea.

No guarantee of accuracy or success. We do not warrant that any generated idea is accurate, feasible, legal in your jurisdiction, or commercially viable.

No guarantee of uniqueness. The Service may generate the same or similar ideas for different users. We make no representation that any idea is novel, original, or free of third-party intellectual-property claims. It is your responsibility to conduct your own searches (trademark, patent, competitive) before acting on an idea.

Compliance is on you. Some generated ideas may touch regulated areas (health, finance, data). You are responsible for all legal and regulatory compliance of any business you pursue.

5. Publishing, Ownership, and Idea Transfer

This section describes how ideas become public and how ownership works. Read it carefully — it is unusual.

5.1 Your input

You retain ownership of the text you submit (your descriptions and clarification answers). You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process it to operate the Service, including generating ideas and producing anonymized, aggregated analytics.

5.2 Free-plan automatic publishing

Ideas generated on the Free plan are automatically published to the public portal, anonymously. All ideas from a generation are published together. Your written input (descriptions and clarification answers) is never published or shared. By generating ideas on the Free plan you expressly consent to this publication.

5.3 Privatization window

For 14 days after automatic publication, you may upgrade to a paid plan to make your still-unclaimed ideas private. Upgrading reclaims all of your auto-published ideas that have not yet been claimed by another user. After the window, unclaimed auto-published ideas remain public and become claimable.

5.4 Claiming (“Make this yours”)

After the privatization window, any paying user may claim an auto-published idea. Claiming transfers the entire generation (all ideas in it, plus each idea’s Advisor chat and version history) to the claiming user, and the original author permanently loses access to it. The original author’s written input is removed before the claiming user receives it. Transfers are final, irrevocable, and logged. By using the Free plan you acknowledge and consent to this transfer mechanism.

5.5 Voluntary publishing (paid plan)

Paid users may publish individual ideas to the portal. Voluntarily published ideas are never claimable by others and are not affected by subscription changes. They remain public until you unpublish them, which requires an active paid subscription at the time of unpublishing.

5.6 Fully public publishing (paid plan)

As an alternative to voluntary publishing, paid users may instead publish an individual idea as fully public. Publishing an idea as fully public is anonymous (no attribution to you is shown) and non-exclusive — you keep your own copy and continue to control it exactly as before; publishing it this way is not a transfer and does not take it away from you. By publishing an idea as fully public, you grant Nowen and every other user of the Service a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view, copy, use, and build upon that idea, including copying it into another user’s own account (“Use this idea”), with no compensation owed to you. You represent and warrant that you have the right to grant this license (see Section 4 regarding third-party IP risk). You may withdraw a fully public idea from the portal at any time, subject to the same active-paid-subscription requirement as unpublishing a voluntarily published idea (Section 5.5); withdrawing it stops new copies from being made but does not revoke, recall, or otherwise affect any copy already made by another user before withdrawal.

5.7 No confidentiality; no IP protection

Publication to the portal is public disclosure. We provide a timestamp of publication but make no representation about its legal effect (e.g., on patentability, which public disclosure may in fact destroy in many jurisdictions). Ideas themselves are generally not protectable as intellectual property; “ownership” and “transfer” in these Terms refer to access and control within the Service, not to any exclusive legal right in the underlying concept. Nothing in these Terms prevents any person from independently pursuing a similar idea.

6. Portal Content and Acceptable Use

You agree not to: submit unlawful, infringing, or harmful content; attempt to deanonymize other users; scrape, bulk-download, or republish portal content; probe, overload, or interfere with the Service; use the Service to generate ideas for unlawful activity; or circumvent quotas, paywalls, or the claim/transfer rules. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

7. Anonymized Data

We may create and use anonymized, aggregated data derived from Service usage (for example, trends in what people want to build, by domain or region) and may share or commercialize such data. Anonymized data does not identify you and does not include your written input in identifiable form.

8. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

9. Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, scoring methodology, and branding, is owned by us or our licensors. These Terms grant you no rights in the Service other than the right to use it as intended while these Terms are in effect.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE — INCLUDING ANY DECISION MADE OR BUSINESS PURSUED BASED ON GENERATED IDEAS, ANY PUBLICATION OF IDEAS UNDER SECTION 5, OR ANY CLAIM OR TRANSFER OF IDEAS BETWEEN USERS. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE (OR $50 IF YOU HAVE PAID NOTHING).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, these limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted.

12. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or any business you pursue based on generated ideas.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms or discontinue the Service with reasonable notice. Sections 4–7 and 9–15 survive termination. Voluntarily published ideas remain governed by Section 5.5, and fully public ideas (including any copies already made by other users) remain governed by Section 5.6, after account closure; completed transfers under Section 5.4 are unaffected by termination.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified (e.g., by email or in-app) at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state and federal courts located in Delaware, unless applicable consumer law provides otherwise. [OPTIONAL: arbitration clause / class-action waiver — decide with counsel.]
