CloneGuard: Anti-AI-Clone ToS clause generator

Generates enforceable anti-screenshot-cloning terms and evidence checklists for SaaS founders

Problem
AI agents can rebuild a working clone from screenshots or screen recordings, and copyright does not protect pure functionality or UI flow, so clean-room rebuilds rarely trigger infringement. Founders on r/SaaS are already debating whether they can ban screenshot-based cloning in their Terms of Service, but most don't know what to write or whether it would hold up.
Solution
A template library that generates clauses by business type: no screenshot/screen-recording reverse engineering, no training competitors on product output, and a defined evidence scope. It also ships a pre-launch checklist covering watermarks, access logs, and clone evidence capture. Output pastes directly into an existing ToS with a change summary.
Users
Indie SaaS founders, small software companies, contract developers, teams whose features have been copied
MVP
Clause generator by product type (SaaS/desktop/mobile); clone-risk self-assessment quiz; pre-launch evidence checklist; clause diff and one-click export; canned response scripts
Revenue
One-time template pack ($49-99); premium tier with a lawyer-review referral and quarterly updates; team licensing by company size
Why now
AI cloning just got trivial while legal tooling is still stuck at traditional IP, and big firms won't serve this long tail. A template product from an indie fills the gap.
