Terms of Service

Last updated: July 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of CouncilAds, operated by Jon Roland doing business as WorkLeapAI. By creating an account or using the service in any capacity, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. Please also review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference.

1. The Service

CouncilAds is an AI-powered advertising tool that generates Google Ads copy and provides analysis, recommendations, and feedback on ads, landing pages, and website content through a panel of twelve fictional AI personas (the "Council"). The Council can review ads across platforms including Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, and other digital advertising platforms. Ad copy generation is currently available for Google Ads.

When you provide a URL to a landing page or homepage, CouncilAds may take a screenshot of that page to facilitate the review process.

Important: The Council personas are fictional AI personas, not real people, marketing professionals, or licensed advertising experts. Their analysis and recommendations are generated by AI models and should be treated as a starting point for your own informed decision-making, not as professional advice. AI-generated output may contain inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, or incorrect statements. You are responsible for independently reviewing all generated content before relying on or publishing it.

CouncilAds does not guarantee advertising results. Ad performance depends on many factors outside our control, including your product, market, landing page quality, platform algorithms, and budget. Council reviews are not a guarantee of real-world performance.

CouncilAds may provide analysis regarding advertising platform policies, but does not guarantee that any advertisement, landing page, or campaign complies with the policies of Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or any other advertising platform. Platform policies change frequently, and you remain solely responsible for ensuring compliance before publishing any advertisement.

CouncilAds may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features, AI models, integrations, or functionality at any time without guaranteeing continued availability of any specific feature.

2. Free Account and Paid Plans

Free Account

You may use CouncilAds for one anonymous review without creating an account. After that, you will be prompted to create a free account. Free accounts receive a total of six reviews (including your initial anonymous run). Once you have used all six free reviews, you must upgrade to a paid plan to continue using the service.

Free accounts are intended for individual evaluation of the service. We reserve the right to limit, suspend, or discontinue free access at any time.

Paid Plans

CouncilAds offers paid subscription plans for individual businesses and agencies. Paid plans are billed on a recurring basis at the rate specified at the time of purchase. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

White Label Plans

Agency white label plans are available and are governed by these Terms of Service as well as a separate White Label Agreement, which must be signed prior to onboarding. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the White Label Agreement, the White Label Agreement controls. Setup fees for white label plans are non-refundable once onboarding has begun.

Refunds

If you are unsatisfied with a paid plan within the first 7 days of your initial subscription, contact us at councilads.com/contact and we will issue a full refund. After 7 days, subscription fees are non-refundable. We reserve the right to make exceptions at our discretion.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed by Stripe. By providing payment information, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. We do not store your full credit card number.

3. Your Account

To access paid features, you must create an account. You are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate information when creating your account
  • Keeping your login credentials secure and not sharing them with others
  • All activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently or abusively, including but not limited to the creation of multiple free accounts to circumvent review limits.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use CouncilAds only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these terms. You may not use CouncilAds to:

  • Generate or review ads for illegal products or services
  • Create content that is fraudulent, deceptive, or designed to mislead consumers
  • Violate the advertising policies of Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or any other platform where you intend to run ads
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying methodology of the service
  • Scrape, harvest, or extract data from the service through automated means beyond normal use
  • Conduct benchmarking, prompt harvesting, model extraction, or any attempt to reproduce or duplicate the Council persona system or proprietary evaluation methodology
  • Interfere with or disrupt the service or the servers and networks connected to it
  • Create multiple accounts to circumvent free account review limits
  • Use the service in violation of any applicable U.S. export control laws or economic sanctions, or on behalf of any person or entity located in a U.S.-embargoed jurisdiction

We reserve the right to refuse or terminate service to the extent permitted by applicable law.

5. Content You Submit

You retain ownership of the business information, ad content, URLs, and other materials you submit to CouncilAds. By submitting content, you grant us a limited license to process and analyze that content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.

You are responsible for ensuring that any content you submit does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, and that you have the right to use and submit that content.

We do not claim ownership of your content. We do not use your submitted content to train AI models or share it with third parties except as necessary to provide the service (see Section 6).

6. Third-Party Services

CouncilAds relies on third-party services to operate. These providers may have access to content you submit to the extent necessary to perform their functions. We take reasonable steps to ensure these providers maintain appropriate data handling standards and are not permitted to use your data for purposes beyond providing their specific service.

Our key service providers include:

  • Anthropic - our AI infrastructure provider for ad generation and Council reviews. CouncilAds is designed to operate with alternative providers in the event of a disruption.
  • Supabase - our database provider where your account data, submitted content, ad history, and screenshots are stored.
  • Stripe - our payment processor. We do not store your full credit card number.
  • Email delivery provider - a third-party service used to send account emails including results, password resets, and service notifications.
  • Cloud hosting infrastructure - CouncilAds is hosted on reputable cloud infrastructure providers that process data as necessary to operate the service.

We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party service providers, including service outages, data incidents, or changes to their platforms that affect the availability or functionality of CouncilAds.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data and submitted content for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your account, we will retain your data for 90 days, after which it will be deleted from our systems. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us at councilads.com/contact.

We may retain certain records for longer periods where required by law or where necessary for legitimate business purposes such as dispute resolution or fraud prevention.

Screenshots taken of landing pages and homepages as part of the review process are subject to the same retention policy.

8. Intellectual Property

CouncilAds, including its name, logo, design, software, interfaces, scoring systems, and underlying technology, is owned by Jon Roland doing business as WorkLeapAI. WorkLeapAI retains exclusive ownership of all prompts, workflows, Council personas, evaluation methodologies, and proprietary processes used to generate the service. Nothing in these terms transfers any intellectual property rights to you.

The ad copy and Council output generated for your account may be used by you freely for your own advertising and business purposes. We do not claim ownership of AI-generated output produced specifically for your account.

White label licensees may not resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Council persona system, prompts, evaluation methodology, or underlying technology to any third party without a separate written agreement with WorkLeapAI.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

CouncilAds is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that the results obtained from using the service will be accurate, reliable, or suitable for your purposes.

The Council personas are fictional AI personas. They are not real people and do not represent the views of any actual marketing professional, advertising expert, or consumer. Their analysis, recommendations, and feedback do not constitute professional advertising, marketing, legal, or business advice. AI-generated output may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors. You should review all output before use and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jon Roland doing business as WorkLeapAI shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of CouncilAds, including but not limited to lost profits, wasted ad spend, loss of business opportunities, or loss of data.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to CouncilAds shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us during the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) the minimum amount required by applicable law.

11. Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in providing the service resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, power outages, internet or infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, actions of third-party service providers, AI provider outages, API failures or rate limiting, cloud infrastructure failures, AI model deprecations or changes, advertising platform policy changes, labor disputes, or government actions. In such events, our obligations under these terms are suspended for the duration of the disruption.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Jon Roland doing business as WorkLeapAI from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of CouncilAds, your violation of these terms, your violation of any third party's rights, or any content you submit to the service.

13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

You and WorkLeapAI agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of CouncilAds (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as provided below.

Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to contact us at councilads.com/contact and give us 30 days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will do the same before initiating any claim against you.

Arbitration

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, either party may initiate binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Harris County, Texas, or by remote means if both parties agree. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent unauthorized use of intellectual property or to protect confidential information.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding will be conducted solely on an individual basis. You waive any right to bring or participate in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

Opt-Out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by notifying us in writing within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms. Your opt-out notice must be sent to the address in Section 17. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these terms.

14. Termination

You may cancel your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access to CouncilAds at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Data retention following termination is governed by Section 7.

15. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. For any disputes not subject to arbitration under Section 13, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Harris County, Texas.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of CouncilAds after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
