ToS Expert: AI Compliance for Non-Tech Founders – Fast & Simple
Building a startup shouldn’t mean guessing whether your idea will get blocked by Stripe, PayPal, or Paddle before you’ve written a line of code. ToS Expert is an AI-powered compliance co-pilot built *for founders who don’t speak “terms of service” fluently*. No legal degree. No engineering background required. Just clear, actionable guidance—delivered in seconds—not weeks. It helps non-technical founders stress-test business models against real-world payment processor policies, spot hidden red flags early, and pivot toward compliant, bankable opportunities. Think of it as your on-demand compliance radar: scanning for policy landmines, decoding dense TOS language, and translating regulatory constraints into strategic advantages—all while keeping your momentum intact.
How It Works — In Under 60 Seconds
Describe your idea in plain English—e.g., “I want to sell AI-generated resume reviews via subscription.” Instantly, ToS Expert analyzes it against the latest policies of major payment providers (Stripe, Paddle, PayPal, Adyen), flags high-risk clauses (like prohibited services, refund expectations, or content restrictions), and explains *why* something might be rejected—not just *that* it is. You can refine your concept live, compare alternatives, and even simulate how changes (e.g., switching from “lifetime access” to “monthly coaching”) impact approval odds. Industry and region filters sharpen accuracy—because what’s allowed in Germany isn’t always the same as in the U.S. or UAE.
