Terms of Service

Who you're dealing with

aiornot.tools ("AI or Not", "the Service") is built and run by an individual developer, not a company. Throughout these Terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean that person. When you write to support@aiornot.tools, that is who answers.

By using the Service, with or without an account, you agree to these Terms, to the Privacy Policy and to the Cookie Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

You must be at least 16 to use the Service. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian has to agree to these Terms for you.

What the Service does

AI or Not estimates how likely it is that a piece of content was created or altered with AI. There are five detectors — text, image, video, voice and music — and each returns a probability together with a confidence level. For text in supported languages, the passages that read as AI-generated are highlighted; the video detector can also run an optional deepfake check on faces.

Three things follow from that:

• A result is an estimate, not a finding of fact. Genuine human work can score high. Polished AI output can score low. We make no promise that AI content will be caught or that human content won't be flagged.
• The analysis is done by third-party AI models. We send your content to specialised detection models run by outside providers and return what they report. Those models change over time, can be wrong, and may be replaced, so the same content can score differently on different days.
• Results are not professional advice. Don't rely on a result alone for legal, academic, employment, financial or safety decisions.

How results may be used

You agree not to:

• treat a result as the sole basis for disciplining a student, rejecting or dismissing someone, publicly accusing a person of using AI, or any other consequential decision about a specific person;
• use the Service to identify, profile or target individuals;
• submit content that is unlawful, that you have no right to share, or that is meant to deceive, harass or defraud.

Keep a human in the loop. A score is one input; the decision is yours.

Accounts

You sign in with a Google account. Keep that account secure — anything done through your AI or Not account is your responsibility. One person, one account: accounts can't be shared, sold or transferred. We may refuse, suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, abuses free limits, or is used to attack the Service.

Free checks and credits

Without an account you can run a limited number of text checks per day, up to a length limit. Image, video, voice and music checks need an account. The current limits are shown on each detector.

When you sign up you receive 10 credits, valid for 30 days. After that, checks are paid for with credits from a subscription or a credit pack.

Daily challenge. Signed-in users can earn a small number of credits by playing our guessing game, up to a daily limit. Credits earned this way expire at the end of the same UTC day. We may change or end the game and its limits at any time.

How credits work. Every check has a credit cost that depends on the type of content and its length. The cost is shown before you run the check, and nothing is charged if the check fails or returns an earlier result for identical content. Credits are not money: they have no cash value, can't be moved to another account, and expire at the end of their validity period. We may change credit costs and free limits as the Service develops; the pricing page always shows the current values.

Subscriptions and credit packs

Subscriptions are billed monthly or yearly and add a set number of credits to your account every month. Monthly credits are meant to be used in the month they're issued: they expire at the end of that month and don't roll over, on yearly plans too. A yearly plan is paid once and releases its credits month by month across the year. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel.

Credit packs are a one-time purchase. Their credits are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.

Cancelling. Cancel any time from the billing portal linked in your settings. Your plan stays active, with its credits, until the end of the period you've already paid for; it simply doesn't renew. Cancelling doesn't refund the current period — see Refunds below.

Price changes. We give at least 14 days' notice before changing the price of a plan you're on. The new price applies from your next renewal.

Payments through Waffo

Payments are handled by Waffo (Waffo Pancake), which acts as the merchant of record. In practice that means Waffo is the seller named on your receipt and invoice, Waffo collects the payment and any applicable tax, and Waffo's own terms and privacy policy apply to the payment itself — you accept them when you check out. Waffo also runs the customer portal where you can see your orders and manage your subscription.

We never see or store your card number. The payment methods and currencies available are those shown on Waffo's checkout page at the time of purchase.

If a renewal payment fails, Waffo retries it. If it keeps failing, the subscription is cancelled and no further credits are issued.

Refunds

The refund policy applies to every charge separately. A first purchase, each renewal and each credit pack count as their own charge.

• Within 7 days of a charge, you can ask for a refund of the unused part of that purchase. We refund in proportion to the credits you haven't spent from it — for example, 600 unused credits out of 800 refunds 75% of the price. The refund goes back to your original payment method through Waffo, and the remaining credits from that charge are removed from your account.
• After 7 days, the charge is final. We don't offer refunds for credits that go unused or expire.

To request a refund, email support@aiornot.tools from the address on your account within the 7 days and tell us which charge it concerns. We confirm by email and issue the refund through Waffo; it can take a few days to appear on your statement.

If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer instead of asking us first, we may suspend your account until the dispute is resolved.

Your content

It stays yours. The text and files you submit, and the results you receive, belong to you.

What you allow us to do with it. To run the Service you give us permission to process, transmit and store your content as far as that's necessary to produce your result, return it to you, reuse it when identical content is checked again, keep it in your history, and keep the Service secure. That is the whole scope.

What we don't do. We don't sell your content, don't use it to train models of our own, and don't publish it or share it with other users. We may look at a submitted file or text ourselves when a check fails or when we're investigating abuse, and for nothing else.

Storage and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.

Fair use of the Service

Don't:

• run bots, scripts or scrapers against the Service, or try to get around rate limits, free-check limits or credit costs;
• probe, reverse engineer or try to extract the detection models or our systems;
• interfere with the Service, overload it, or introduce malicious code;
• resell access or build a competing detection product on top of the Service without a written agreement with us.

Depending on how serious and how repeated a violation is, we may remove content, restrict features or close your account. Where the law requires it, we cooperate with authorities and may preserve or disclose content.

Names, logos and copyright notices

The AI or Not name, logo, interface and software belong to us or our licensors. Don't use them in a way that suggests we endorse you; referring to the Service accurately is fine.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, email support@aiornot.tools with the work in question, where the material appears, your contact details, a good-faith statement that the use isn't authorised, and a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you're entitled to act.

No warranty, limited liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that any result will be accurate.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from the Service or from how you use a result. Our total liability for any claim connected to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your content, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain of these limitations. Where that's the case, they apply only as far as the law permits.

Ending things

You can stop using the Service at any time. To delete your account, email support@aiornot.tools from the address on the account; the Privacy Policy explains what happens next. Unused credits aren't refunded when an account is closed, except as set out under Refunds.

We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms or if continuing to serve you would expose us or other users to risk. The sections on your content, refunds, warranty and liability, and this one survive termination.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes; the date at the top shows the current version. For material changes we give at least 14 days' notice by email or a notice on the site. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the new Terms.
