Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 October 2026

These terms are the rules for using tamingai.app. Taming AI offers short, self-paced online lessons that teach working adults how to use Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic. Some lessons are free to read. Others need an account, and some need a paid subscription. A Taming AI subscription does not include a paid Claude plan, which some lessons need and which you buy from Anthropic separately. You must be 18 or over. If you subscribe, your plan renews automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel any time in Settings. Payments are handled by Link, a Stripe company. Taming AI is independent of Anthropic. The lessons are for learning only, and AI can make mistakes. Please read the whole page, because it explains your rights and ours.

Who we are

"Taming AI" is a trade name of Desert Shine Auto Spa, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Desert Shine Auto Spa, LLC, doing business as Taming AI. "You" means the person using the website at tamingai.app (the "site").

You can reach us at hello@tamingai.app.

By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Who can use Taming AI

The site is meant for adults. You must be 18 or over to use it, to create an account, or to buy a subscription.

If you use the site for your work, you confirm that you are allowed to do so.

What Taming AI is

Taming AI is a set of short, self-paced lessons. They use text and pictures. There is no video.

The lessons teach you how to use Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, including Claude Cowork features. We do not run Claude, and we do not give you access to it.

Some lessons use features that need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise). These are lessons 2.4 and 2.5 and Levels 3 to 5. You buy a Claude plan from Anthropic, separately from us. A Taming AI subscription does not include a Claude plan. Your use of Claude is between you and Anthropic.

The free lessons

Levels 0 and 1, and lessons 2.1 to 2.3, are free. You can read them without an account.

We may change which lessons are free and which are paid. If we do, we may say so on the site.

Invitations and accounts

Accounts are currently by invitation only. We send each invitation personally. We may open sign-up to the public later, and these terms will apply then too.

An invitation:

is a personal link for one email address;
can be used only once;
may unlock some or all of the paid levels, depending on the invitation;
can expire, or be cancelled by us before you use it.

Access from an invitation does not need a payment and is not a subscription. It lasts while we offer that level, unless we end it under these terms.

Please do not share, sell or pass on your invitation link.

With an account, you can save your lesson progress, pick a weekly or daily progress view, pause that view, and choose which Claude screen layout you see.

When you have an account:

One account is for one person. Please do not share your account with anyone else.
Give us accurate information, and keep it up to date.
Sign in with your email and a password of at least 12 characters. You can also add a passkey, an authenticator app, or both. We encourage you to.
Keep your password, passkeys, authenticator app and backup codes safe.
Tell us right away at hello@tamingai.app if you think someone else has used your account.

You are responsible for what happens under your account, unless it happens because of something we did wrong.

Subscriptions and billing

This section applies if you buy a subscription.

The plan and the price

We offer one plan. It opens every level. The price is:

US$7 a month, or
US$49 a year.

Sales tax or value-added tax (VAT) is added at checkout where it applies. Link works out the tax, adds it at checkout, and collects it. There is no free trial.

A Taming AI subscription does not include a Claude plan. Lessons 2.4 and 2.5 and Levels 3 to 5 use features that need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise), which you buy from Anthropic separately. Please check this before you subscribe.

Who handles your payment

Payments are handled through Stripe Managed Payments. The seller and merchant of record for your payment is Link (Sold through Link, LLC, a Stripe company). In plain words, Link, not Taming AI, is the company that sells you the subscription and handles the payment. We still provide the lessons.

This means Link:

calculates and collects sales tax and VAT;
sends your receipts and invoices;
handles payment support and disputes about payments.

Link has its own terms and its own privacy policy, and they also apply to your purchase. Please read them at checkout.

Your billing name, billing address and card details are collected by Stripe and Link, not by us. We never receive your full card number.

Automatic renewal

Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, depending on the plan you pick. It renews at the same price until you cancel. Link charges your payment method each time it renews.

If a payment fails and is not fixed, your access to the paid levels may stop until the subscription is paid.

How to cancel

You can cancel any time. Go to Settings and open the billing portal. You do not need to email us or give a reason.

After you cancel

Cancelling stops the next renewal. You keep your access until the end of the period you have already paid for. After that, you can no longer open the paid levels.

To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel before the renewal date.

Refunds

Link is the seller of your subscription, so Link handles payments and refunds. Link may issue a refund within 60 days of a payment in some cases. To ask for one, contact Link using your receipt or the checkout page. If you are not sure how, email us and we will point you in the right direction.

Cancelling stops the next renewal. It does not by itself refund a payment you have already made.

Nothing here limits any refund right you have under the law where you live.

Price changes

We may change our prices. If we do, we will give you notice before the new price first applies to you. The notice will give the new price, the date it starts, and how to cancel in Settings. We will send it to the email address on your account, or Link may send it.

A new price does not change what you have already paid for. If you do not want to pay the new price, you can cancel before the renewal.

Acceptable use

Please use the site fairly and lawfully. You agree not to:

break any law, or help anyone else to;
share your account, your sign-in details or your invitation link with other people;
try to get around the invitation system, a paywall, or any other limit on what you can open;
copy, scrape, or bulk download the lessons, or sell or republish them;
try to break, probe, overload or get unauthorized access to the site, our systems or other people's accounts;
upload or send malicious code, or interfere with how the site works;
pretend to be someone else, or give false details to get an account;
use the site to harass, threaten or harm anyone.

Our content and your license

The lessons, text, pictures, layout, and the Taming AI name and logo belong to us or the people who license them to us. The law protects them.

While you follow these terms, we give you a limited, personal permission (a license) to read and use the lessons for your own learning. You cannot transfer it to anyone else. We can end it as described below.

You may not copy, republish, sell or build on the lessons, or give copies of the paid lessons to other people, except where the law lets you. You are welcome to share a link to the site or to a free lesson. Please do not remove copyright or ownership notices.

All rights we do not clearly give you stay with us.

Independence from Anthropic and trademarks

Taming AI is independent. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Anthropic.

Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. Other names, logos and product screens that belong to Anthropic or other companies stay theirs. We use them only to describe the product the lessons teach.

Learning and AI: please use your judgment

The lessons are educational information only. They are not legal, financial, medical, tax, HR or other professional advice.

Please keep these points in mind:

AI output can be wrong, out of date or made up. Check anything that matters before you rely on it.
Claude is a third-party product that changes often. Features, names, screens and prices may change after we write a lesson, so some lessons may go out of date.
Follow your employer's rules about using AI. If your workplace has a policy, it comes first.
Do not paste confidential information into Claude, such as customer data, trade secrets, passwords, or private health or financial details, unless your employer and Anthropic's terms allow it.
You decide how to use what you learn, so please use your own judgment and check your work.

We do not promise any particular result from taking the lessons.

Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep the site running, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may pause the site for maintenance, fixes or security reasons.

We may add, change or remove lessons, features and levels, or update the site. An important change is one that affects your rights, your price, or what you can open. We will try to give notice of important changes to paid features.

If we remove a paid level, or change the paid plan in a way that clearly makes it worse for you, we will try to tell you in advance, and you can cancel at any time.

Suspension and ending accounts

We may suspend or close your account, or limit your access, if:

you break these terms;
your use puts the site, other people or us at risk;
we are required to by law.

Where it is reasonable and safe to do so, we may tell you why and give you a chance to fix the problem first.

You can stop using the site at any time. To delete your account, email hello@tamingai.app. We will delete your account and its data within 30 days, except for records the law requires us to keep. Our database backups expire within 30 days. Records of your payments are kept by Stripe and Link under their own policies. If you have a subscription, cancel it in Settings first so that it does not renew. Our Privacy Policy explains what happens to your data.

When your account ends, your license to use the lessons ends too. The parts of these terms that are meant to continue, such as the sections on ownership, disclaimers, liability and governing law, continue after your account ends.

Disclaimers

The site and the lessons are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise that they will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted or free of errors.

We do not promise that the lessons will suit your needs or give you any particular result at work or anywhere else. To the extent the law allows, we also do not give any implied promises, such as that the lessons are fit for a particular purpose.

We do not run or control Claude or Anthropic, and we are not responsible for them. Link and Stripe handle your payment under their own terms. Anthropic, Link, Stripe and others have their own terms.

The companies we use to run this site, such as our hosting and database providers, are different. We are responsible for how we use them.

Some places do not allow certain disclaimers. Where that is the case, those disclaimers apply only as far as the law allows. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under consumer law where you live.

Limits on our liability

We are a small business, and we want these limits to be fair.

To the extent the law allows:

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost profits or lost business. In plain words, these are knock-on losses, such as lost income, lost work or lost business, that you suffer because a lesson was wrong or the site was down.
Our total liability to you for any claim about the site or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) what you paid for the service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) US$50.

These limits do not apply to anything the law does not allow us to limit. That includes liability for fraud, for our willful misconduct or gross negligence (very serious carelessness), and for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. These limits also do not limit any rights you have under consumer law that you cannot give up, or under privacy or data protection law.

Your responsibility for misuse

If a third party makes a claim against us because you broke the acceptable use rules above, or used the site unlawfully, you agree to cover our reasonable costs from that claim, to the extent you caused it.

This does not apply to claims that come from your normal use of the lessons, or from something we did. It also does not apply where the law does not allow it.

Governing law and courts

Arizona law applies to these terms. If you use the site as a consumer, this does not take away the legal protections you have under the law of the place where you live.

If we have a dispute, we ask that you contact us first at hello@tamingai.app so we can try to sort it out.

Any legal claim must be brought in the courts in Maricopa County, Arizona. The exception is where the consumer law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in the courts where you live. In that case, you can do so.

We do not require arbitration. These terms do not take away your right to go to court.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top.

If a change is important (as explained in the section on availability and changes to the service), we will post a clear notice on the site before it takes effect, and we may also email you.

If you keep using the site after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms. If you do not agree with the change, you can stop using the site, and cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

Other things to know

These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the site. If you buy a subscription, Link's own terms and privacy policy also apply to that purchase.
If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest stays in effect.
If we do not enforce a part of these terms right away, we are not giving up our right to do so later.
You may not transfer your account or your rights under these terms to anyone else.
