Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (Terms) are a legal agreement between BOLD BLACK, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (Bold Black, we, us, or our), and the person or entity that uses Corkboard (Customer or you). Bold Black operates the Corkboard service at corkboard.wiki and app.corkboard.wiki (the Service).

1. Acceptance and eligibility

You accept these Terms when you create an account, click to accept, buy a subscription, or use the Service. If you use the Service for an entity, you state that you have authority to bind that entity. In that case, “you” and “Customer” mean that entity.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. Do not use the Service if you do not accept these Terms.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information. It forms part of the notices that apply to your use of the Service.

2. The Service

Corkboard is a hosted wiki service for creating, storing, revising, searching, and sharing content. The Service uses this structure:

1. An Organization is the team and billing entity.
2. A Workspace is a content boundary within an Organization.
3. A Workspace owns its pages, media, and page revisions (Customer Content).

The same Workspace operations are available through three service interfaces:

• the authenticated web dashboard;
• the HTTP API, which uses bearer JSON Web Tokens; and
• the Corkboard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which uses OAuth 2.1 and permits authorized AI agents to access the Service.

You are responsible for actions taken through your accounts, tokens, integrations, and authorized agents. Full-text keyword search is available on all plans. Semantic search is available only as stated in Section 5.

The Service does not include a service-level agreement. We may maintain, modify, suspend, or discontinue Service functions. The Service and some functions can be unavailable from time to time.

3. Accounts, Organizations, and Workspaces

You must provide accurate and current account, Organization, and billing information. Auth0, an Okta service, manages authentication. Bold Black does not store account passwords.

You must protect login sessions, API tokens, OAuth grants, and other credentials. Do not share credentials except through an approved team or integration function. You must promptly notify us at hello@corkboard.wiki if you know or suspect that an account or credential is compromised.

Each Organization must have exactly one individual assigned to its Organization Owner role at a time. The Organization Owner controls billing and administrative settings and can grant access to other users and agents. Customer is responsible for its users, agents, permissions, and Workspace configuration.

4. Plans, limits, and enforcement

All limits apply per Organization unless the Service states otherwise.

Annual prices include a 20% discount compared with paying the monthly price for 12 months.

Every plan has hard limits. We do not charge usage-based excess fees. When an Organization reaches a limit:

• If it reaches its monthly API-call limit, write requests receive HTTP status 429 and a Retry-After date. Reads remain available.
• If it reaches a page or media-storage limit, requests that would add more receive HTTP status 402 and an upgrade prompt.
• If a page body is larger than the plan limit, the request receives HTTP status 422.

The Service can also block writes after a plan downgrade if stored content exceeds the new plan limit. Existing content remains readable, subject to these Terms.

5. Trial and semantic search

A new Organization receives a 14-day Pro trial without a credit card. The trial includes 100 pages, 10,000 API calls per month, 5 GB of media storage, 1 Workspace, a 256 KB maximum page body, and 50 semantic searches per month. At the end of the trial, the Organization moves to the Free plan unless it starts a paid subscription. We do not delete existing content solely because the trial ends. If the Organization exceeds a Free-plan limit, it enters a read-only state for the affected writes until usage is within the limit or the Organization upgrades.

On Pro and Team plans, saving a page sends the page content, as chunks of Markdown, to the OpenRouter embedding API. OpenRouter uses the qwen3-embedding-8b model to generate vector embeddings. We store those vectors with the page and use them for semantic search. By saving a page on a Pro or Team plan, Customer instructs and authorizes this processing under the limited license in Section 9. Semantic indexing is best-effort and can be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. The Free plan never sends page content for embedding. Full-text keyword search does not require this embedding process.

6. Fees and billing

Paid subscriptions are billed in U.S. dollars per Organization. Stripe processes card payments. No Stripe customer record is created for an Organization until its first payment.

Paid subscriptions renew automatically for another period of the same length unless Customer cancels before the renewal date. Monthly subscriptions renew each month. Annual subscriptions renew each year. You authorize Stripe and Bold Black to charge the applicable subscription fees and taxes to your selected payment method.

An upgrade applies immediately. We prorate its charge for the remaining part of the current billing period. A downgrade applies at the end of the current billing period. For an annual plan, this is the end of the committed year. For a monthly plan, this is the end of the current month. A cancellation stops renewal but does not end access before the end of the paid period.

Unless required by law, prepaid fees are non-refundable.

You are responsible for applicable sales, use, value-added, and similar taxes, except taxes based on Bold Black’s net income. If a payment fails, we may limit or suspend paid functions after giving notice where practicable.

We may change prices. A price change will not apply before the next renewal of your paid subscription. We will give reasonable advance notice of a material price change.

7. Acceptable use

You must not, and must not permit a user or agent to:

• use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful activity;
• upload or process content that violates law or another person’s rights;
• introduce malware or other harmful code;
• bypass or attempt to bypass access controls, plan limits, rate limits, or usage measurement;
• use automated requests in a way that interferes with the Service or other customers;
• scrape, mirror, resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties without our written consent, except for Customer’s authorized internal users and agents;
• probe, scan, or test a vulnerability without our written consent;
• reverse engineer the Service, except to the limited extent that law does not permit this restriction;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent an affiliation; or
• interfere with the integrity, security, or operation of the Service or a third-party service.

We may investigate suspected violations. We may remove access, reject requests, suspend an account, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect the Service or another person, or comply with law.

8. Customer responsibilities

Customer is responsible for:

• the legality, accuracy, quality, and permissions of Customer Content;
• giving all required notices and obtaining all required consents for Customer Content;
• configuring access rights for users, integrations, and agents;
• reviewing agent actions and outputs before relying on them; and
• keeping independent backups of Customer Content.

The Service is not a backup service. We do not guarantee that Customer Content or any revision can be recovered. Revision retention limits and maintenance processes can remove older or superseded material.

9. Customer Content

As between Customer and Bold Black, Customer owns Customer Content. Customer grants Bold Black a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, and create technical transformations of Customer Content only as needed to:

• provide, secure, maintain, and support the Service;
• perform Customer’s instructions through the web dashboard, HTTP API, or MCP server;
• create and store semantic-search embeddings as described in Section 5; and
• comply with law and enforce these Terms.

This license continues only while needed for those purposes, subject to retention in active systems, revision history, and backups. Customer represents that it has the rights and permissions needed to grant this license.

We may create and use aggregated or de-identified service data that does not identify Customer or an individual. We own that aggregated or de-identified data and may use it to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Service.

10. Bold Black intellectual property and feedback

Bold Black and its licensors own the Service, including its software, interfaces, designs, documentation, trademarks, and related intellectual property. These Terms do not transfer that property to Customer. Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, Bold Black grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to access and use the Service during the applicable plan period for Customer’s internal purposes.

If you voluntarily give us feedback about the Service, you grant Bold Black a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use that feedback to improve and operate the Service. This right does not include ownership of Customer Content and does not permit us to identify Customer publicly without permission.

11. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party services, including Auth0 (Okta) for identity, Stripe for payments, OpenRouter for semantic-search embeddings on Pro and Team plans, and Fly.io for application and database hosting. Third-party failures, changes, and terms can affect the Service. We do not control third-party services and are not responsible for them, except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise.

Your use of a separate third-party integration can also be subject to that provider’s terms. You authorize us to exchange Customer Content and account information with a third-party service when you or your administrator enables or uses that integration.

12. Support

Email support is available at hello@corkboard.wiki. We do not promise a response or resolution time.

13. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BOLD BLACK DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components. We do not warrant that content, revisions, embeddings, search results, agent actions, or third-party services will be accurate, complete, available, or preserved. You are responsible for deciding whether the Service is suitable for your use and for maintaining independent backups.

Some laws do not allow certain disclaimers. These disclaimers apply only to the extent permitted by law.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF THE PARTY KNEW THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOLD BLACK’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES CUSTOMER PAID TO BOLD BLACK FOR THE AFFECTED ORGANIZATION DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT THAT FIRST GAVE RISE TO THE CLAIM.

The exclusions and cap in this Section do not apply to: (a) Customer’s payment obligations; (b) Customer’s indemnification obligations; (c) a party’s fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct; (d) Customer’s violation of Section 7 or misuse of Bold Black’s intellectual property; or (e) liability that law does not permit a party to limit. Each limitation applies to the combined total of all claims, regardless of the legal theory.

15. Indemnification

Customer will defend Bold Black and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors against a third-party claim arising from: (a) Customer Content; (b) Customer’s users’ or agents’ use of the Service in violation of these Terms; or (c) Customer’s violation of law or another person’s rights. Customer will pay damages, settlements, costs, and reasonable legal fees finally awarded or agreed in a settlement of that claim.

Bold Black must promptly notify Customer of the claim, give Customer reasonable control of the defense and settlement, and provide reasonable cooperation at Customer’s expense. Customer must not settle a claim in a way that admits fault by Bold Black or imposes an obligation on Bold Black without Bold Black’s written consent. A delay in notice relieves Customer only to the extent that the delay materially harms the defense.

16. Suspension and termination

Customer may stop using the Service at any time and may cancel a paid subscription as described in Section 6.

We may suspend or terminate access immediately if: (a) Customer materially breaches these Terms; (b) use creates a material security risk or could harm the Service or another person; (c) payment is overdue; or (d) suspension or termination is required by law. If the issue can be corrected, we will use reasonable efforts to give notice and an opportunity to correct it before termination. We may terminate a Free account for inactivity or discontinue the Service after reasonable notice where practicable.

At termination, Customer’s right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should continue will survive, including Sections 8 through 15 and Sections 17 through 20. Customer must export Customer Content before access ends. For 30 days after termination, Customer may request read-only export access to retrieve Customer Content. After the applicable retrieval period, we may delete Customer Content, subject to legal duties and our technical retention processes. We do not promise a deletion deadline unless one is stated in the Privacy Policy or a separate written agreement.

17. Changes to the Service and Terms

We may change the Service and these Terms. If a change to these Terms materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations, we will give reasonable advance notice by email, in the Service, or on our website. The notice will state when the change takes effect. Your continued use after that date means that you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept the change, you must stop using the Service and cancel before the change takes effect.

Changes required by law or needed to address an urgent security risk can take effect sooner. The effective date at the top shows when these Terms last changed.

18. Governing law and venue

Florida law governs these Terms, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

19. General terms

Assignment. Customer may not assign these Terms without Bold Black’s prior written consent. Bold Black may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Service. Any other attempted assignment is void.

Notices. Legal notices to Bold Black must be sent to hello@corkboard.wiki. We may send notices to the email address associated with your Organization or display them in the Service. An operational support message is not a legal notice unless it clearly states that it is one.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any written order or addendum accepted by both parties are the entire agreement about the Service. If an accepted written order or addendum conflicts with these Terms, the order or addendum controls only to the extent of that conflict.

Severability. If a court finds part of these Terms unenforceable, the court will modify it only as much as needed to make it enforceable, or remove it if modification is not possible. The rest remains effective.

No waiver. A failure or delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of that right.

Independent parties. The parties are independent contractors. These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, fiduciary, or franchise relationship.

No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not give rights to a person that is not a party to them.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by an event beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, labor disputes, government action, internet or utility failure, and third-party cloud or network failure. This sentence does not excuse Customer’s payment obligations for Service already provided.

Electronic agreement. Electronic acceptance and records have the same effect as signed paper records where law permits.
