Autopilot Blog Terms

Effective date: October 15, 2026

These Terms are an agreement between Octetra, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Octetra,” “we,” “us”), and the person, business, or agency that subscribes to Autopilot Blog or accepts an Autopilot Blog proposal (“you”). Questions: javid@octetra.com.

Part 1 applies to every plan. The part for your plan adds to it, and where the two differ, the part for your plan controls:

Part 1: General Terms

1. AI Content

Posts are generated by AI. We tune the system for quality and accuracy, but you are responsible for reviewing content for factual accuracy, legal compliance, and fit with your industry's rules, and your clients' where you run blogs for them, before it is relied on, and on the Agency Pilot or an Agency Plan before it is published. This matters especially in regulated fields (health, finance, legal, engineering). You control what your blog publishes, and on the Agency Pilot or an Agency Plan you approve it.

2. Results

We show real results from real customers, and we work hard to get them for you. But search rankings, traffic, and conversions depend on many factors outside Octetra's control. Octetra does not guarantee any specific traffic, ranking, conversion, or revenue outcome, for you or your clients. On the Agency Pilot or an Agency Plan, any performance figures shared with you describe past results on other properties, are not a prediction of your results, and are not a term of this agreement.

3. AI Usage

Each blog instance includes an allowance of AI usage for each billing period. AI usage is all the AI and data-service work the system does for a blog. The allowance covers the vast majority of use, including a blog that publishes two or three times a day. A blog can go over it through excessive use, such as running audits or research far more often than its normal schedule, or creating rules sophisticated enough to take a lot of AI usage to evaluate. We notify you as a blog approaches its allowance. When a blog reaches its allowance, all of its AI usage pauses until you add a $50 add-on, which gives that blog one more allowance for the rest of the billing period. If the blog uses that up in the same billing period, each further $50 add-on gives it one more allowance in the same way. You can choose to have add-ons charged automatically so that usage does not stop. If an add-on payment does not go through, the blog's AI usage stays paused until it does. Add-ons are charged through Stripe to the payment method on file, in addition to your subscription fee. The allowance and any add-on belong to one blog instance, are not shared between blogs, and do not carry into the next billing period. On an Agency Plan, Section 33 sets the period the allowance runs for.

4. Failed Payments

If a payment fails, we warn you. If the next attempt to collect it also fails, or no further attempt is scheduled, we pause the service until it is paid: your published posts stay online, but the admin locks and nothing new is written or published.

5. Service Availability

We run the service with reasonable care and effort, but it is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Octetra may suspend the service for maintenance or security and may modify it at any time, except as limited by Sections 19 and 35.

6. Acceptable Use

Do not use the service to publish content that is illegal, deceptive, infringing, or harmful, and do not attempt to bypass rate limits, reverse engineer the platform, or interfere with its operation. We may suspend an instance that is being used this way.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Octetra is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits or lost data. Octetra's total liability under these Terms, for any and all claims, is capped as follows: on the Standard Plan, at the fees you paid us in the three months before the claim; on the Agency Pilot or an Agency Plan, at the total fees you paid or owed Octetra in the twelve months before the claim.

8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Octetra from any claims, damages, liabilities, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from content published through your blog, your use of the service, or your violation of these Terms. On the Standard Plan, because you control and are responsible for reviewing what your blog publishes, and on the Agency Pilot, because you control and approve what your blog publishes, this includes claims that published content is defamatory, infringing, inaccurate, or otherwise unlawful. On an Agency Plan, it covers content published through any blog in your agreement and your agreements with your clients.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after that is acceptance.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Part 2: Standard Plan

11. The Service

Autopilot Blog is a hosted, AI-powered blog engine. We set up and operate a blog instance for you that researches topics, writes posts, generates images, publishes on a schedule, and reports analytics. Your subscription includes the hosted instance, the publishing engine, setup and tuning, and direct support from our team. You must use the service in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.

12. Account Security

If we give you access to an admin panel or dashboard, you are responsible for keeping those credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

13. Content Ownership

Everything published to your blog belongs to you. If you cancel, we will give you a full export of your posts and images, and you have 30 days after cancellation to request it. The platform, the agents, the prompts, and the software behind the service belong to Octetra. By using the service you grant us the limited license needed to generate, store, and publish content on your behalf.

14. Data

To operate the service we connect to accounts you authorize (for example Google Analytics and Search Console) with read access. We use that data to run and improve your blog. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties except the infrastructure providers needed to run the service. We may use anonymized, aggregated data to improve the product. If you cancel, we disconnect your accounts.

15. Billing and Cancellation

Subscriptions bill through Stripe for the billing period shown at checkout. You can cancel anytime and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds for partial billing periods, no long-term commitment. Section 4 covers failed payments.

16. Termination

Either party may end the service at any time. You can cancel from your account or by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms (including Section 6) or fail to pay. On termination you keep everything already published and may request your export within the 30-day window in Section 13. Sections 13 (ownership), 2 (no guaranteed results), 7 (liability), and 8 (indemnification) survive termination.

Part 3: Agency Pilot

17. Acceptance

By starting the Autopilot Blog agency pilot subscription, you agree to these Terms. Starting the subscription is your acceptance of these Terms. Your promise to pay the subscription fee once any free trial ends, and our provision of the pilot, are the consideration for this agreement. If you do not agree, do not start the subscription. The person starting the subscription represents that they are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of your organization.

18. The Pilot

The agency pilot is a hosted, AI-powered blog engine that we set up and operate for your own blog on a domain you control. It researches topics, drafts posts in your voice, generates images, and delivers briefs and reports on performance. The pilot includes the hosted instance, the publishing engine, setup and voice tuning by us, and direct support from our team during the pilot. This pilot is for your own blog only; see Section 27 on client use.

19. Publishing Control

During the pilot the service is configured so that generated posts enter a review queue and are published only after a person on your team approves them. Octetra will not disable that review requirement except on your written instruction. Octetra connects publishing to the environment you choose, for example a staging environment. The service does not publish to your live site until you direct it to.

20. Ownership

20.1 Deliverables owned by you. As between you and Octetra, you own the following, whether or not this agreement remains in effect:

  • (a) blog posts generated by the service for your blog, including drafts, revisions, and published versions;
  • (b) images generated by the service for use in those posts; and
  • (c) the daily briefs, reports, and written insights the service delivers to you.

20.2 Platform and system memory owned by Octetra. Octetra owns:

  • (a) the Autopilot Blog software, hosting environment, and infrastructure;
  • (b) the agents, prompts, scoring models, rubrics, and editorial rules;
  • (c) topic research, keyword analysis, scoring output, and other intermediate working product generated by the service;
  • (d) the accumulated memory and operating state of your instance, including configuration, tuning, and state derived from your approvals, rejections, and edits; and
  • (e) all modifications and improvements to any of the foregoing.

The items in 20.2(c) and 20.2(d) are not deliverables, are not included in any export, and are not licensed to you under these Terms.

20.3 Analytics. The service reads analytics from accounts you own and control, as described in Section 24. You retain that data at its source. Octetra's processed copies of that data are internal operating records, are not deliverables, and are not exported. Nothing in these Terms limits your access to your own analytics accounts.

20.4 Export. You may request an export of the items listed in 20.1 at any time while your subscription is active, and for 30 days after the effective date of cancellation determined under Section 25. Octetra will provide it within a reasonable time and is not required to provide more than one export in any 30-day period. Octetra has no obligation to retain the items in 20.1 after the export period closes.

20.5 License to Octetra. You grant Octetra a limited, non-exclusive license, for the term of this agreement, to generate, store, process, and publish the items in 20.1 on your behalf, solely to provide the service.

21. Data Separation

21.1 Confidential treatment and no pooling. Octetra will treat the following as confidential, will not incorporate it into datasets shared across customers, will not use it to serve another customer, and will not disclose it to any other customer:

  • (a) your content and the identities of your clients;
  • (b) non-public information about your business or your clients' businesses;
  • (c) analytics read from the accounts you connect under Section 24; and
  • (d) topic research, keyword analysis, scoring output, and instance memory generated for your instance, notwithstanding Octetra's ownership of those items under Section 20.2.

This subsection imposes obligations on Octetra. It does not transfer ownership of anything owned by Octetra under Section 20.2, and it does not limit your rights in anything you own under Section 20.1.

21.2 Octetra's independent general knowledge. Separately from any customer instance, Octetra develops and maintains general knowledge about industries, verticals, geographies, and content practice. That knowledge is built from our own research and from publicly available sources, not from your confidential material. Your instance may be built on top of it.

21.3 Effect of deletion. On deletion of your instance under Section 24, the memory and working product specific to your instance are deleted with it. Octetra's general knowledge under 21.2 is not deleted.

21.4 Aggregate learnings. Octetra may retain knowledge derived from the material described in 21.1 where that knowledge is general, does not identify you, your clients, or your business, and cannot reasonably be reverse-engineered to do so. This subsection does not permit anything prohibited by 21.1, and does not limit 21.5.

21.5 Published content. Notwithstanding 21.1(a), Octetra may access and analyze content you have published publicly, whether on a property you control or on a property you publish to on behalf of a client, and may use it to develop the general knowledge described in 21.2. Octetra will not republish that content.

You represent that you have the right to grant the permission in this subsection for the content you publish.

You may withdraw this permission by written notice to javid@octetra.com. Withdrawal takes effect 72 hours after the date of the notice and applies to Octetra's future access and use only. Knowledge already derived before withdrawal takes effect cannot be isolated and removed, and is not subject to withdrawal.

22. Feedback

If you share ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the service, we may use them to operate and improve the product without any obligation, restriction, or payment, and any improvements we make to the platform remain the property of Octetra. This does not give us any rights to your published content, which stays yours under Section 20.1.

23. Confidentiality

In the course of the pilot, each of us may learn non-public information about the other — for example your business plans, client details, pricing, and analytics, or our platform, methods, prompts, and pricing. Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential, use it only to carry out this pilot, and protect it with at least reasonable care. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to it, is independently developed without using the other's information, or must be disclosed by law (in which case the receiving party will give notice where it reasonably can). This section does not change the ownership, feedback, or data terms in Sections 20, 21, 22, and 24.

24. Data

To operate the service we connect to accounts you authorize (for example Google Analytics and Search Console) with read-only, least-privilege access. We use that data to run and improve your blog. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with third parties except the infrastructure and AI providers needed to run the service. We may use anonymized, aggregated data to improve the product. If you cancel, we disconnect your accounts.

Deletion. You can ask us to permanently delete your data at any time, and we will do it within 30 days of the request. If you cancel and do not ask, we will permanently delete your content, analytics, and configuration within 60 days after the end of your final billing period, once the 30-day export window in Section 20 has passed. Deletion is permanent and it covers backups on our normal backup rotation, which completes within 90 days. We may keep anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you or your clients, and records we are required by law to retain.

Breach notification. If we discover unauthorized access to your data, we will notify you within 72 hours of confirming it. We will tell you what was affected, what we know about how it happened, and what we are doing about it. We will keep you updated as we learn more.

25. Fees, Billing, and Cancellation

The pilot fee is the amount shown at checkout when you start your subscription, billed through Stripe for the billing period shown there. You can cancel anytime and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds for partial billing periods, and no long-term commitment. Section 4 covers failed payments.

26. Term and Off-Ramp

The pilot runs for as long as you keep the subscription active. If publishing sits paused or the pilot goes quiet for more than two weeks, we may check in once, and if it stays quiet we may wind the pilot down. Either party may end the pilot at any time. On termination you keep everything already published and may request your export within the 30-day window in Section 20.4.

27. Client Use

This pilot covers your own blog only. It does not grant you any right to run the service for your clients, to resell it, or to sublicense it. If you want to offer Autopilot Blog to your clients, we will enter a separate written agency agreement, such as an Agency Plan under Part 4, covering pricing, sublicensing, client-data handling, and responsibilities before any client use begins.

28. Output Quality

Output quality varies and improves as the service processes your content. Early output is not representative of later output and is not a basis for a claim under these Terms.

Part 4: Agency Plan

29. Proposal and Acceptance

Your proposal states the number of blogs, the length of the term, the fees, and any fees that are waived or reduced. The proposal and these Terms together are the agreement. If they conflict, the proposal controls for those items.

You accept these Terms by paying the first invoice for the fees in your proposal. That payment is both your acceptance and the consideration for this agreement. The person who makes the payment represents that they are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of your agency. If you are moving from the Agency Pilot, this Part replaces Part 3 for your account from the day you sign.

30. The Service

Autopilot Blog is a hosted, AI-powered blog engine that we set up and operate for each blog in your agreement, on a domain you or your client controls. It researches topics, drafts posts, generates images, and delivers briefs and reports on performance. Each blog runs on its own hosted instance.

31. Term, Support, and Renewal

31.1 The term. The agreement runs in terms of the length stated in your proposal, paid up front. The first term starts on the day you sign, and each term ends on the same day of the month that it started. Your proposal states the number of blogs the term covers, and that number is the minimum for the agreement.

31.2 Provisioning. You decide when each blog is provisioned, and you may provision them at any point during the term. A blog you have not provisioned yet is still part of the agreement and is included in the fees for the term. No blog has a term of its own.

31.3 Support. Support runs to the end of the current term, for every blog in the agreement, and ends on one date for the whole agreement.

31.4 Blogs added during a term. You may add blogs above the minimum at any time. An added blog is billed only for the time remaining in the current term, at the per-blog rate for the resulting number of blogs, and it ends on the same date as every other blog.

31.5 Renewal. At the end of each term the agreement renews for another term of the same length, covering the blogs then active and never fewer than the minimum, unless you give us written notice before the renewal date. Support renews with it.

31.6 No cancellation mid-term. Fees for a term are owed in full once the term begins. You may stop publishing on any blog at any time, and you may reduce your blog count (down to the minimum) or end the agreement at a renewal, by notice under 31.5. We do not refund any part of a term.

32. Fees and Billing

Fees are billed in advance for each term, through Stripe, to the payment method on file. If you already have an Autopilot Blog subscription, it moves onto this agreement rather than a second subscription starting, and Stripe credits any unused part of your current billing period against the first term. Any one-time fee in your proposal is charged on that same first invoice. Fees shown as waived in your proposal are not charged for the term stated there. Section 4 covers failed payments.

33. AI Usage

Section 3 applies to each blog instance in the agreement, your own and each client's, with these differences, which replace the matching words in Section 3:

  • (a) the allowance is for each month of the term, counted from the day the term started, so an add-on gives a blog one more allowance for the rest of that month, a further add-on in the same month gives it one more in the same way, and neither carries into the next month;
  • (b) add-ons are charged in addition to the fees stated in your proposal and in Section 32; and
  • (c) the allowance and any add-on are not pooled across your agency.

34. Client Use and White-Label

You may run the service on blogs for your clients and offer it to them under your own brand, at prices you set. You are responsible for your agreements with your clients, and for having your clients' permission for the content, domains, and accounts you connect to the service.

Your clients are not parties to this agreement and have no rights against Octetra under it. You may not give your clients or anyone else direct access to the Autopilot Blog platform, or sublicense or resell the platform itself apart from the service you provide to your clients.

35. Publishing Control

Each blog is configured so that generated posts enter a review queue and are published only after a person on your team approves them. Octetra will not disable that review requirement for a blog except on your written instruction. The service does not publish to a live site until you direct it to.

36. Ownership

36.1 Deliverables owned by you. As between you and Octetra, you own the following, whether or not this agreement remains in effect, and you may transfer them to your clients:

  • (a) blog posts generated by the service, including drafts, revisions, and published versions;
  • (b) images generated by the service for use in those posts; and
  • (c) the briefs, reports, and written insights the service delivers to you.

36.2 Platform and system memory owned by Octetra. Octetra owns:

  • (a) the Autopilot Blog software, hosting environment, and infrastructure;
  • (b) the agents, prompts, scoring models, rubrics, and editorial rules;
  • (c) topic research, keyword analysis, scoring output, and other intermediate working product generated by the service;
  • (d) the accumulated memory and operating state of each instance, including configuration, tuning, and state derived from your approvals, rejections, and edits; and
  • (e) all modifications and improvements to any of the foregoing.

The items in 36.2(c) and 36.2(d) are not deliverables, are not included in any export, and are not licensed to you under these Terms.

36.3 Export. You may request an export of the items in 36.1 for any blog while the agreement is active, and for 30 days after it ends. Octetra will provide it within a reasonable time and is not required to provide more than one export per blog in any 30-day period.

36.4 License to Octetra. You grant Octetra a limited, non-exclusive license, for the term of this agreement, to generate, store, process, and publish the items in 36.1 on your behalf, solely to provide the service.

37. Data Separation

37.1 Confidential treatment and no pooling. Octetra will treat the following as confidential, will not incorporate it into datasets shared across customers, will not use it to serve another customer, and will not disclose it to any other customer:

  • (a) your content and the identities of your clients;
  • (b) non-public information about your business or your clients' businesses;
  • (c) analytics read from the accounts you connect under Section 38; and
  • (d) topic research, keyword analysis, scoring output, and instance memory generated for your instances, notwithstanding Octetra's ownership of those items under Section 36.2.

37.2 Octetra's independent general knowledge. Separately from any customer instance, Octetra develops general knowledge about industries, verticals, geographies, and content practice from its own research and publicly available sources, not from your confidential material. Your instances may be built on top of it.

37.3 Aggregate learnings. Octetra may retain knowledge derived from the material in 37.1 where that knowledge is general, does not identify you, your clients, or your business, and cannot reasonably be reverse-engineered to do so.

37.4 Published content. Notwithstanding 37.1(a), Octetra may access and analyze content published publicly on any blog in your agreement to develop the general knowledge in 37.2. Octetra will not republish that content. You represent that you have the right to grant this permission for your clients' blogs.

38. Data

To operate the service we connect to accounts you authorize for each blog (for example Google Analytics and Search Console) with read-only, least-privilege access. We do not sell that data, and we do not share it with third parties except the infrastructure and AI providers needed to run the service.

Deletion. You can ask us to permanently delete a blog's data at any time, and we will do it within 30 days of the request. When a blog leaves the agreement, or the agreement ends, we will permanently delete its content, analytics, and configuration within 60 days, once the 30-day export window has passed. Deletion covers backups on our normal backup rotation, which completes within 90 days.

Breach notification. If we discover unauthorized access to your data, we will notify you within 72 hours of confirming it, tell you what was affected and what we are doing about it, and keep you updated as we learn more.

39. Feedback and Confidentiality

We may use ideas or feedback you share about the service to improve it, without obligation or payment. Each party will keep the other's non-public information confidential, use it only to carry out this agreement, and protect it with at least reasonable care. This does not apply to information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, was already known to it, is independently developed, or must be disclosed by law.
