Terms of Use

Last updated November 8, 2026

These terms are the deal between you and ideamap when you use the site. By creating an account you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. ideamap is in beta: things will change and sometimes break.

Who can use ideamap

• You must be 18 or older.
• One account per person, in your real name, with photos of you. Keep your password to yourself.

Your content

You own the sparks, comments, photos and profile you post. You give ideamap permission to store and show them to other builders so the service works — on your profile, in the idea map, in matching, and to the AI tools builders connect to the public idea map. Only post what you have the right to share. You can delete your content, or your whole account, at any time.

Sparks are shared to be built on. Others may take inspiration from an idea you post publicly; ideamap does not protect ideas as secrets. Don’t post anything confidential.

Be decent

• No harassment, hate, threats, or unwanted sexual content.
• No fake profiles, impersonation, spam, or scams.
• No photos that aren’t of you, or that are explicit.
• No illegal content, and nothing that breaks the site or other people’s accounts.

Use the Report button on a profile, match, spark or deck card if you see any of this. Admins review profiles before they appear in matching and may reject a profile, remove content, or close an account that breaks these rules.

Meeting people

Matching introduces builders; it doesn’t vet them. Use your judgment when you meet someone, especially in person, and agree on ownership and money in writing before you start a company together.

No warranty

ideamap is provided as is, without warranties. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses, or for what other builders do or post. Nothing here limits rights you have under Canadian consumer law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; we will tell you in the app before an important change applies. These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and Canada. Questions? email bijiantao139@gmail.com.
