Terms of Service
Last updated 23 August 2026
The short version. Dandelion is a tool that helps you write one email at a time. You bring your own AI account and pay that provider directly. You are responsible for what you send and for the laws that apply to sending it. We provide the software as-is and are not liable for what you do with it.
1. Agreement
These terms apply when you install or use the Dandelion browser extension or this website (together, "Dandelion"). If you do not accept them, do not use it. Dandelion is operated by JR Quint ("we", "us").
2. What Dandelion is
Dandelion reads the web page you are viewing and drafts an outreach email about it, which you then review and send. It is a drafting assistant. It is not an email service provider, a mailing-list platform, or a bulk-sending system, and it is not designed or licensed to be used as one.
3. Your AI provider account
Dandelion requires an API key from a third-party AI provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. That account is yours. You contract directly with that provider, you pay them directly for usage, and your use of their service is governed by their terms, not ours.
The cost estimate shown in the extension is an approximation calculated from token counts and published prices. It is not a reading of your account balance and may be wrong. Check your provider's own dashboard for what you actually owe. We are not responsible for charges you incur.
4. Acceptable use
You are responsible for every message you send. You agree not to use Dandelion to:
- send bulk, unsolicited, or automated mass email, or to build or process mailing lists;
- send anything unlawful, deceptive, harassing, defamatory, or infringing;
- impersonate another person or organisation;
- scrape or harvest personal data at scale, or use the tool in a way that breaches a website's terms;
- evade a recipient's opt-out, or contact anyone who has asked you not to.
Email is regulated. Depending on where you and your recipient are, laws such as CAN-SPAM, GDPR and PECR may apply to what you send, including rules on consent, identification, and unsubscribe. Complying with them is your responsibility, not ours. Dandelion drafts one message at a time by design, but that design is not a substitute for knowing your obligations.
5. AI-generated content
Drafts are produced by a third-party language model from the content of the page you were reading. They can be inaccurate, can misread a page, and can state things that are not true. Read every draft before you send it. You are the author and sender of anything you send, and you are responsible for its accuracy and its effect.
6. Availability and changes
Dandelion is offered as-is and may change, break, or be discontinued. Dandelion is currently in an invite-only beta, which means bugs are expected and features may be removed. We do not promise any level of uptime, and third-party services it depends on may change or fail independently of us.
7. No warranty
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dandelion is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, nor for lost profits, lost business, lost data, damaged reputation, or third-party API charges, arising from your use of Dandelion. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you have paid us (for the beta, nothing).
9. Your data
What Dandelion stores and transmits is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. In short: the extension has no server of ours, and your API key and drafts do not reach us.
10. Intellectual property
Dandelion's name, mark, interface, and code remain ours. You may not copy, resell, or redistribute the extension, or present it as your own product. The emails you write with it are yours.
11. Ending it
You can stop at any time by removing the extension, which deletes the data it stored on your device. We may withdraw access to the beta at our discretion.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, and disputes will be handled in the courts of that jurisdiction, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
