• Stack Builder - Interactive tool to define project requirements and receive technology recommendations
• Spec Analyzer - AI-powered analysis of specification documents to extract technical constraints
• Blueprint Generation - Detailed reports with technology recommendations, scores, and explanations
• Export Features - Ability to export recommendations in various formats

To access certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information
• Maintain and promptly update your account information

Merchant of Record

Paddle is the seller of record for transactions and is responsible for:

• Processing your payment and handling chargebacks and refunds
• Collecting and remitting applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, or similar indirect taxes
• Issuing order confirmations and tax invoices where required by law

When you purchase a subscription, you enter into a contract of sale with Paddle acting as merchant of record on our behalf. Your bank or card statement will show a charge from "PADDLE* STACKSFINDER".

For billing inquiries or refund requests, you may contact either us at [email protected] or Paddle directly.

Each subscription plan includes specific usage limits (e.g., number of blueprints per month, Spec Analyzer extractions). You agree to:

• Not exceed the usage limits of your plan
• Not attempt to circumvent usage limits through technical means

If you exceed your plan's limits, access to certain features may be restricted until the next billing cycle or until you upgrade your plan.

You retain ownership of any content you upload to the Service (e.g., specification documents). By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to process and analyze it for the purpose of providing the Service.

StacksFinder combines deterministic algorithms with AI-generated content. It is important to understand what each component provides:

Deterministic Components (Not AI)

• Technology Scores - Base scores from curated technology database
• Recommendations - Technology selection based on your constraints
• Compatibility Checks - Technology compatibility from predefined matrix
• Delta Adjustments - Context-based score modifiers from rule tables

Each blueprint stores the exact version of scoring tables used, ensuring full reproducibility and auditability.

AI-Generated Components

• Narrative Explanations - Human-readable descriptions of why technologies were recommended
• Spec Analyzer Extraction - Parsing of uploaded documents to identify constraints
• Summary Text - Blueprint summaries and executive overviews

Your Responsibilities

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Recommendations (deterministic or AI-enhanced) are suggestions, not guarantees of success
• You are responsible for evaluating and validating recommendations before implementation
• Technology landscapes change rapidly; recommendations may become outdated
• AI-generated narratives should be reviewed for accuracy in your specific context

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STACKSFINDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.

Our total liability for any claims arising from the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using the account settings in the Service.

We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms or engage in fraudulent or illegal activity.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. We may delete your data in accordance with our data retention policies.

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

Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of Paris, France.
