Takeoff is a legal navigation platform that helps founders and early-stage businesses understand the legal landscape of starting and operating a company. These Terms of Service describe the rules for using Takeoff. By creating an account or using Takeoff, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
We have tried to write these terms in plain English. If anything is unclear, contact us at support@takeoff.legal.
Takeoff is an informational and operational tool. It helps you navigate common legal needs by surfacing relevant considerations, generating draft documents from your inputs, walking you through structured information (such as licensing requirements), and pointing you toward the right resources.
Takeoff is not a law firm. Nothing on the platform constitutes legal advice. Using Takeoff does not create an attorney-client relationship. Information you provide to Takeoff is not protected by attorney-client privilege.
Takeoff does not substitute for an attorney. For matters that meaningfully affect your legal rights, your business, or your finances, you should engage a qualified attorney licensed in your jurisdiction. This is especially true for matters involving complex transactions, regulatory compliance, litigation, or significant financial exposure.
Takeoff is a young, actively evolving platform. We add features, change features, and occasionally retire features as we learn what works for our users. We will give reasonable notice before making changes that materially affect how you use Takeoff. We make no commitment to maintain any particular feature indefinitely.
Some features are or may become available only on paid plans. When we introduce paid features, we will give existing users reasonable notice of which features are paid, what they cost, and what alternatives exist.
To use Takeoff, you must create an account. You agree to:
You can delete your account directly from your account settings at any time, or by emailing support@takeoff.legal. When you delete your account, your data is permanently removed as described in our Privacy Policy.
Takeoff generates draft documents from your inputs. These include, among others, articles of organization, operating agreements, founders agreements, contractor agreements, offer letters, employee IP assignment agreements, service agreements, and election forms.
All generated documents are draft templates for your reference. They reflect common, widely-applicable provisions, but they cannot anticipate every fact pattern, every jurisdictional nuance, or every business need. You are solely responsible for:
Takeoff also provides tools that organize and present information. This includes the cap table builder, the licensing and permits lookup, the equity visualizer, and others. These tools display structured information based on your inputs. You are responsible for verifying outputs against authoritative sources before relying on them. Licensing requirements, regulatory frameworks, and cap table mechanics change; we do our best to keep the platform current, but we cannot guarantee that the information is up to date at every moment.
You retain full ownership of the information you provide to Takeoff. We do not claim ownership over your business information, your documents, your tool data, or your messages.
You grant Takeoff a limited, non-exclusive license to use, process, store, and display the information you provide solely for the purposes of operating the platform and providing the services to you. This license ends when you delete your account or the information.
You represent that you have the right to provide the information you submit to Takeoff. If you upload a document or include information about another party (such as a co-founder, contractor, or client), you represent that you have the necessary authority to share that information.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate access for users who violate these acceptable use terms. We will use judgment and try to be fair, but we reserve the right to act when necessary to protect the platform and other users.
Takeoff provides information and tools based on widely-applicable patterns and current understanding of common legal and business needs. We make reasonable efforts to keep content accurate and up to date. We do not guarantee:
Laws change, jurisdictions vary, and your specific situation may differ from common patterns. You are responsible for verifying anything you rely on.
The Takeoff platform, including the underlying software, design, content, templates, and tools, is owned by Takeoff and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the platform for your own business purposes, subject to these terms.
Documents you generate from Takeoff templates, populated with your information, are yours to use. We do not claim ownership over the documents you produce.
You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from the platform itself, the underlying templates as templates (separate from your filled documents), or the content of Takeoff (such as Fundamentals articles, primers, and glossary entries) without our prior written permission.
Takeoff integrates with third-party services such as Anthropic, Resend, Sentry, Railway, and Cloudflare. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.
Takeoff may link to third-party websites (such as government agency websites for licensing information). We do not control and are not responsible for the content or practices of those websites.
We may introduce paid features or paid plans on Takeoff. If we do, the pricing, included features, and billing terms will be presented at the point of purchase. By purchasing a paid plan, you agree to the pricing and billing terms in effect at the time of purchase.
We may change pricing for future billing periods. Material changes will be communicated in advance, and you will have the opportunity to cancel before the new pricing takes effect.
Refunds are handled case by case. Contact support@takeoff.legal with refund questions.
Takeoff is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Takeoff and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, lost business opportunities, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the platform.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to Takeoff, regardless of the form of action, is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid to Takeoff in the twelve months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Takeoff and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the account settings or by emailing support@takeoff.legal.
We may suspend or terminate your access to Takeoff if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, if your activity puts the platform or other users at risk, or if required by law. We will give notice and an opportunity to cure where reasonable.
On termination, the rights granted to you under these terms end. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through an in-product notice before they take effect. If you do not accept the revised terms, you may delete your account at any time. Continued use of Takeoff after material changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Non-material changes — such as typo corrections, formatting improvements, or clarifications that do not change rights or obligations — may be made without prior notice.
