Operator: ESUS LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”)

Effective Date: January 4, 2026

Last Updated: January 4, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Site and any related tools, calculators, detectors, quizzes, content, downloads, outputs, and services (collectively, the “Services”).

1) Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy located at oaf.ai/privacy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” refers to both you and that organization.

2) What the Services Are (and Are Not)

A) Informational and Client-Side Tools

The Services are provided primarily for informational, educational, and general commentary purposes. Most tools operate client-side (meaning data processing happens on your device, not our servers).

B) NO Professional Advice

The Services do not provide legal, compliance, HR, employment, financial, medical, security, or professional advice of any kind. You are solely responsible for:

How you use the Services
Compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies in your jurisdiction
Consulting qualified professionals (lawyers, accountants, doctors, etc.) before making high-stakes decisions

Relying on the Services as a substitute for professional advice is at your sole risk.

C) AI Detection Tool Limitations

Our AI detection tools are designed to analyze text for patterns commonly associated with AI-generated content. You acknowledge and agree that:

Detection results are probabilistic estimates, not definitive proof
The AI/LLM detection landscape changes continuously; new models and evasion techniques emerge regularly
No AI detection tool achieves 100% accuracy
We provide zero guarantee that tools will detect emerging AI models, fine-tuned systems, or future LLM outputs
Detection accuracy may degrade over time as generative AI technology evolves
Our tools should never be used as the sole basis for high-stakes decisions (academic integrity, hiring, publishing, content policy enforcement)
Use of our tools does not replace human review, fact-checking, or professional judgment

D) Third-Party Tools and Data Processing

We use third-party services to deliver the Services:

Youform: Embedded forms may collect your input data (e.g., email address). Youform’s privacy practices apply. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Beehiiv: Newsletter subscriptions direct you to a third-party newsletter platform. Beehiiv’s privacy and terms apply.
Cloudflare: Infrastructure provider handling hosting, security, and DDoS protection. Cloudflare may process your data per their practices.

Review our Privacy Policy at oaf.ai/privacy for complete details on data handling, processors, and data processing agreements.

3) No Guarantees; Outputs Are Not Proof

Any outputs, results, scores, detection percentages, recommendations, comparisons, rankings, “best for” picks, or other information generated or displayed by the Services (“Outputs”) may be:

Inaccurate or incomplete
Based on outdated information
Influenced by limitations in our detection models

You agree NOT to rely on Outputs as the sole basis for high-stakes decisions, including but not limited to:

Legal decisions or compliance determinations
Employment, hiring, or disciplinary actions
Academic integrity investigations or disciplinary proceedings
Publishing, content moderation, or removal decisions
Financial, medical, or reputational decisions
Criminal or civil liability assessments

Outputs are provided “as-is” for informational purposes only. You must use independent verification, professional judgment, and human review before acting on any Output.

4) Eligibility and User Responsibility

A) Legal Compliance

You must use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and governmental orders in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with laws applicable to your use case.

Maintaining confidentiality of any device or account credentials you use to access the Services
Understanding the limitations of AI detection and the impossibility of 100% accuracy

You will not submit sensitive or confidential information (passwords, payment cards, government IDs, medical records, SSNs, trade secrets, etc.) unless authorized and at your own risk

B) Our Limited Responsibility

We are not responsible for User Inputs you choose to submit. If you submit sensitive data despite this warning, you do so at your sole risk. We are not liable for loss, unauthorized access, or misuse of sensitive information you submit.

C) Data Processing

User Inputs are handled per our Privacy Policy. For forms, Youform may process your submissions per their terms. Data is retained per the schedules in our Privacy Policy.

15) Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

Before pursuing formal legal action, you agree to contact us in good faith at [email protected] and describe:

Your dispute
Damages claimed
Proposed remedy or resolution

We will respond within 30 days. If the dispute is not resolved, you may pursue arbitration or litigation as described below.

B) Binding Arbitration

Any dispute not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration, not in court, administered by JAMS or AAA, with one arbitrator, under the Arbitration Rules & Procedure Code for that forum.

The arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis. CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS, AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS ARE WAIVED.

Claims for injunctive relief to prevent IP infringement, misuse, or unauthorized access (which may be litigated in any court of competent jurisdiction)
Small claims court (if applicable in your jurisdiction and your claim is small enough)

This arbitration clause applies to you individually and to any organization on whose behalf you use the Services. You waive any right to a jury trial.

16) Governing Law and Venue

A) Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico, without regard to its conflict of law principles or the conflict of laws principles of any other jurisdiction.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

B) Venue and Jurisdiction

If arbitration does not apply or is not permitted, you agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico (or, if federal jurisdiction exists, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico).

You waive any objection to venue or claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

If you reside outside the U.S., you consent to personal jurisdiction and service of process in U.S. courts.

17) Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unenforceable, or contrary to law by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision is severed and removed, and the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

If any provision cannot be severed, the entire Terms become unenforceable, and you have no rights under the Terms (but retain any rights granted by law).

18) No Waiver

Our failure to enforce, or delay in enforcing, any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision. Our one-time enforcement of a provision does not waive our right to enforce it in the future.

19) Entire Agreement

These Terms and our Privacy Policy (oaf.ai/privacy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and your use thereof.

These Terms supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions regarding the subject matter, whether written or oral.

20) Blog Posts, Commentary, and Fair Use

A) Nature of Our Content

Our blog posts, articles, and commentary (“Editorial Content”) contain opinions, analysis, criticism, and fair use discussion of third-party tools, LLMs, products, and services. This content is provided for informational and educational purposes and reflects our subjective views and analysis.

B) Opinion vs. Fact; Opinion Protection

Most statements in our Editorial Content are opinions or subjective analysis, not provable facts. Examples include:

“Tool X appears to have weaker detection on GPT-4 outputs”
“We find LLM Y to be less transparent about its limitations”
“Service Z seems overpriced for the features offered”

These are expressions of opinion, belief, and analysis based on our testing, experience, and judgment. Opinions are protected from defamation claims under U.S. law. To the extent any statement could be considered factual, we:

Attempt to base factual claims on publicly available information
Disclose when claims are speculative or untested

This use is fair use under U.S. Copyright Law (17 U.S.C. § 107). Fair use permits commentary and criticism without permission from copyright holders. Our use serves transformative purposes: education, commentary, and criticism.

We provide:

Attribution and links to source materials
Context explaining why we reference third-party content
Our own analysis and critique, not mere reproduction
Sufficient distinction from the original to constitute fair use

D) Disclaimer: Statements Are Not Professional Guarantees

Our Editorial Content:

Does not constitute endorsement or recommendation for your specific use case
Reflects our observations and opinions as of the publication date
May become outdated as third-party tools evolve
Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for purchasing or deployment decisions
Is provided “as-is” without warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose

You are responsible for verifying claims independently, consulting official documentation, and conducting your own testing before relying on third-party tools.

E) Evolving Landscape; Accuracy Disclaimers

The LLM and AI detection landscape changes continuously. Third-party tools:

Release new versions with different capabilities
May change pricing, policies, or availability
May improve or degrade detection accuracy over time
May be acquired, sunset, or significantly modified

We do not update Editorial Content in real-time. Historical content may reflect outdated information, capabilities, or pricing. We encourage readers to:

Check official sources for current features and pricing
Test tools yourself before deployment
Review recent community feedback and benchmarks
Contact vendors directly for specific capabilities or guarantees

F) Third-Party Statements; References to Vendors

If our Editorial Content quotes, references, or summarizes statements made by third parties (vendors, researchers, LLM creators, etc.), those statements are attributed to the third party, not presented as our own claims.

We are not liable for the accuracy or truthfulness of third-party statements. We note discrepancies, issues, or inconsistencies where we identify them, but we do not endorse or verify all statements made by vendors or other sources.

G) No Professional Relationship

Editorial Content does not establish an attorney-client relationship, financial advice relationship, or any professional relationship between us and readers.

Nothing in our content should be construed as:

Legal advice (consult a lawyer)
Financial or investment advice (consult a financial advisor)
Security or compliance advice (consult a CISO or compliance officer)
Product recommendation (verify fit for your use case)

H) Disputes with Vendors; Right to Correct

If a third party disputes claims made in our Editorial Content, we:

Welcome factual corrections and updated information
May update, clarify, or retract content if errors are identified
Will add corrections notice if we update content
Will not be liable for inaccuracies discovered after publication

If you believe our Editorial Content contains a factual error or defamatory statement, please contact us at [email protected] with subject “CONTENT CORRECTION” and provide:

The specific statement in question
Evidence that the statement is false
Requested correction or remedy

We will review and respond within 30 days. Providing a correction notice does not waive our opinion defense or our other legal rights.

I) Hyperbole, Sarcasm, and Editorial Tone

Our Editorial Content may include:

Hyperbole, exaggeration, and sarcastic language
Humorous or pointed criticism
Subjective language (“seems,” “appears,” “in our view,” “likely”)
Rhetorical questions and speculative statements

These stylistic choices are protected forms of opinion and commentary. A reasonable reader understands that blog commentary differs from neutral reporting and involves subjective judgment.

J) Our Right to Refuse or Modify Content

We reserve the right to:

Decline to publish submitted content
Edit, modify, or remove any Editorial Content
Refuse requests to retract or correct opinion-based statements
Defend our opinions in any dispute
