1. What this is

IotMentor is a chat-based product that gives planning guidance for embedded/IoT hardware projects. Using it means agreeing to these terms.

2. Not professional or safety-critical advice

Responses are AI-generated guidance for hobbyist and early-prototype work — not a substitute for a qualified engineer's sign-off, and not for medical, automotive, aviation, or other safety-critical or regulated applications. Cost/time estimates are ranges, not quotes.

3. Accounts

You're responsible for your credentials and account activity. Tell us immediately about suspected unauthorized access.

No unlawful use, no bulk scraping/reselling the mentor logic, no circumventing rate limits or Turnstile, no uploading content you don't have the right to share.

Phase 1 is free with reasonable usage limits. Paid tiers may follow (Phase 2); changes affecting existing usage will be communicated in advance.

6. Intellectual property

The product and its engine are proprietary. You retain ownership of what you submit, and grant us a limited license to process it to serve your responses and saved builds.
