Terms of service
Effective November 12, 2026
Ideas (ideas.dondowdle.com) is operated by Donald Scott Dowdle, doing business as Lodsted, Rowlett, Texas ("we"). By using Ideas you agree to these terms.
The service
Ideas stores notes in spaces that you can share with other people and with AI agents you connect. It is invite-only and still being built: features may change, and we may limit or end access to it.
Your account
You sign in with Google and must give accurate details, including a mobile number that is yours. Each account is approved by the operator. You are responsible for what is done through your account, including by agents you connect.
Your content
What you add to Ideas remains yours. You give us permission to store it and show it to the people and agents you have allowed, which is what running the service requires. Content you add to a space shared with others stays in that space if you later leave it.
Agents
An agent you connect acts as you: it can read and change whatever you can, within the permissions you give it. You choose the agent and are responsible for what it does. You can disconnect it at any time.
Acceptable use
- Do not use Ideas for anything unlawful, or to store content you have no right to store.
- Do not try to reach spaces or accounts that are not yours, or to disrupt or overload the service.
- Do not send messages to Ideas pretending to be someone else.
Text messaging
Program. Ideas notes by text. You can text notes to +1 737 373 4323 and they are saved to your account. When you give us your mobile number we text you a one-time code to confirm it, and we may text you confirmations of what you sent and notices about your account.
Consent. By entering your mobile number in Ideas and confirming it with the code, you agree to receive these texts at that number. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
Frequency and cost. Message frequency varies with how you use Ideas. Message and data rates may apply.
Stopping and help. Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts; reply START to resume. Reply HELP for help, or write to don@dondowdle.com.
Carriers. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Privacy. Mobile numbers and messaging consent are not shared with or sold to third parties for marketing. See the privacy policy.
Ending use
You may stop using Ideas and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk.
No warranty
Ideas is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that content will never be lost. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data or profits, arising from your use of Ideas. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars if greater.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
Changes
If these terms change we will post the new version here with a new date. Continuing to use Ideas after a change means you accept it.
