Last Updated: March 2026
Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Mental Note AI ("we," "us," "our," or "Company"). These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "user") and Mental Note AI governing your use of our Microsoft Word add-in and related services designed to generate AI-powered clinical documentation. By installing, accessing, and using Mental Note AI, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service in their entirety. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use our service. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of Mental Note AI following such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
Description of Service
Mental Note AI is an AI-powered clinical note generation tool available as a Microsoft Word add-in. Our service assists mental health professionals and licensed students in generating clinical documentation by providing AI-assisted drafting in multiple note formats including SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), DAP (Data, Assessment, Plan), BIRP (Behavior, Intervention, Response, Plan), SIRP (Situation, Intervention, Response, Plan), GIRP (Goal, Intervention, Response, Plan), and PIE (Problem, Intervention, Evaluation). The service is accessed through the Microsoft Office Add-ins Marketplace and integrates directly with Microsoft Word to streamline the documentation process. Mental Note AI operates on a freemium model: a free tier providing 2,000 words per month and premium subscription plans (Unlimited at $99/month or $990/year) offering unlimited monthly word generation.
User Accounts and Eligibility
To use Mental Note AI, you must create and maintain a user account. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that: (1) you are a licensed mental health professional or an enrolled student in a mental health profession recognized by applicable state or national licensing bodies; (2) you are at least 18 years of age; (3) the information you provide during account creation is accurate, current, and complete; (4) you have the right and authority to bind yourself to these Terms of Service; and (5) you will maintain the confidentiality and security of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. If you discover unauthorized use of your account, you must notify us immediately at support@mentalnote.ai. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts of users who do not meet eligibility requirements or who misrepresent their professional credentials.
Acceptable Use Policy
You agree to use Mental Note AI solely for legitimate clinical documentation purposes in accordance with your professional scope of practice and applicable laws. You are strictly prohibited from: (1) using the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation; (2) generating clinical notes for patients you do not have a clinical relationship with; (3) creating false, misleading, or fraudulent documentation; (4) using Mental Note AI to generate notes that misrepresent the nature or extent of clinical services provided; (5) sharing your account credentials with unauthorized individuals; (6) attempting to reverse-engineer, decompile, or hack the add-in; (7) using automated tools or scripts to artificially increase word counts or manipulate billing; (8) selling or transferring generated content to third parties without authorization; and (9) using Mental Note AI in any manner that could harm, defame, or compromise the privacy of patients or other individuals. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all AI-generated content before incorporating it into official clinical records. Mental Note AI holds no responsibility for content you generate, publish, or use.
AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Mental Note AI provides AI-assisted drafting to help you generate clinical documentation more efficiently. It is critical that you understand the following: (1) Mental Note AI generates draft content that must be reviewed and edited by you before use — the AI output is not final clinical documentation and must be verified for accuracy, completeness, and clinical appropriateness; (2) all AI-generated content requires your professional clinical judgment and editorial review — you must personally review each generated note to ensure it accurately reflects the clinical encounter, patient presentation, and your clinical assessment and treatment plan; (3) Mental Note AI output should never be considered medical advice or a substitute for your professional clinical expertise — the AI does not have knowledge of your specific patient, clinical setting, or treatment context, and may generate suggestions that do not align with appropriate clinical care; (4) you are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and clinical appropriateness of all content in your clinical records — Mental Note AI is a drafting tool, not a clinical decision-making system; (5) clinicians and mental health professionals bear full responsibility for the content of clinical records they generate, use, and submit to patients or insurance companies — Mental Note AI cannot and does not assume liability for any consequences of the content you generate using our service; and (6) you must comply with all applicable clinical documentation standards, licensing board requirements, and ethical guidelines specific to your profession and jurisdiction. Do not rely on AI-generated content without thorough professional review and modification to match your actual clinical work.
HIPAA and Compliance
Mental Note AI is designed to support HIPAA compliance and data protection for mental health professionals. We have architected our service to ensure that Protected Health Information (PHI) and patient data are not stored, transmitted to, or retained by Mental Note AI servers. Clinical notes, session information, and patient data remain exclusively within your Microsoft Word document and Microsoft's infrastructure. While we have implemented comprehensive security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL), secure authentication mechanisms, and regular security assessments, we recommend that healthcare organizations and practitioners using Mental Note AI in a HIPAA-regulated context execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) prior to processing PHI. Mental Note AI will provide a BAA upon request. Please contact support@mentalnote.ai to request a BAA or discuss your specific compliance requirements.
Intellectual Property Rights
Mental Note AI and all components thereof — including but not limited to the software, user interface, design, technology, algorithms, source code, and documentation — are owned by Mental Note AI and protected by copyright, trademark, patent, and other applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Mental Note AI solely for your authorized clinical documentation purposes as outlined in these Terms of Service. You may not copy, modify, adapt, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, distribute, sell, or create derivative works based on Mental Note AI or any of its components. However, you retain all ownership rights to the clinical content you create, including clinical notes, patient assessments, and clinical data generated using Mental Note AI. You grant Mental Note AI a limited license to use anonymized, aggregated content for service improvement, training, and analytics purposes only, provided that such use does not identify you or your patients.
Payment and Billing
Mental Note AI offers a tiered pricing model: (1) Free Tier: provides 2,000 words per month at no charge; (2) Unlimited Plan: provides unlimited monthly word generation at $99 per month or $990 per year. When you purchase a paid subscription, you authorize Mental Note AI to charge your payment method in accordance with the plan you selected. All payments are processed through secure, third-party payment processors. Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel.

Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Mental Note AI and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, data, goodwill, or reputation, arising out of or related to your use of Mental Note AI, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you in its entirety. In no event shall Mental Note AI's total liability to you exceed the amount you have paid to us in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim. These limitations apply to all causes of action, including breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, tort, and statutory claims.

This indemnification obligation applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and does not apply to claims arising solely from Mental Note AI's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Termination
Either party may terminate your account and use of Mental Note AI at any time. You may terminate by canceling your subscription through your account settings or by contacting support@mentalnote.ai. Mental Note AI may terminate your account or service immediately, without notice, if: (1) you violate any provision of these Terms of Service or our Acceptable Use Policy; (2) you misrepresent your professional credentials or eligibility; (3) you engage in conduct that could harm patients, compromise patient privacy, or violate clinical ethics standards; (4) you breach any law or regulation in your use of the service; (5) you fail to pay subscription fees; or (6) we are required to do so by law or court order. Upon termination, your right to access Mental Note AI immediately ceases. You remain responsible for any charges or liabilities incurred prior to termination.
