Terms of Service

AngleVerdict is operated by AngleVerdict, Sokolska 30, Katowice, Poland (“we”, “us”, “our”). Contact: hello@angleverdict.com.

These terms apply when you create an account, when you subscribe to a plan, when you call our API, and when you use the public demo on our website without an account. If you use the service on behalf of a company or another organisation, “you” means that organisation and you confirm you are authorised to bind it.

We are established in the European Union and we sell the service worldwide. Which law governs this agreement is answered in §18, and the answer follows from where we are, not from where you are. It says nothing about which advertising markets the service checks against — those are in §2, and they include markets far outside the one whose law governs this contract.

You accept these terms by creating an account or by using the service. You can save or print this page at any time, and we will send you the version in force on any given date on request.

AngleVerdict is a pre-publication check on advertising text. You submit the copy of an advertisement. We return:

• a verdict for that text;
• the specific phrases that matched a rule;
• the rule that matched, and the legal or platform-policy provision behind it;
• on request, one rewritten variant of the copy that avoids the matched phrases.

Checks are organised by vertical (for example supplements, beauty, weight-loss, CBD, pet nutrition, crypto, dating, sweepstakes), by platform policy, and by jurisdiction. Which combinations are available, and on what terms, is shown in the product and on our pricing page.

Each check is recorded in an append-only, hash-chained audit trail that stores what was checked, when, against which rule bundles, and at which policy and classifier versions. That record is the evidence of what we did.

We are not in your publishing path. We do not create advertisements, produce media of any kind, connect to your advertising accounts, publish anything anywhere, or transmit anything you submit to any platform, regulator or third party other than the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy.

This section is the description of the product, not a disclaimer bolted onto it. Read it before you rely on a verdict.

3.1 A verdict is information, not permission and not advice

We do not provide legal advice, and no verdict is legal advice. We are not a law firm and no lawyer-client relationship arises from your use of the service. A verdict tells you what our rules matched in the text you gave us. It does not tell you whether your advertisement is lawful, whether your claims are true, or whether they can be substantiated.

3.2 We cannot promise a platform outcome

A clean verdict is not a guarantee that an advertisement will be approved, and a flagged verdict is not a prediction that it would have been rejected. Advertising platforms apply their own policies, their own automated systems and their own reviewers, change them without notice, and decide independently of us. We have no relationship with any platform and no influence over any decision they make.

3.3 Known limits

• Coverage is finite. Our rules cover the provisions we have implemented for a given vertical, platform and jurisdiction. Copy can be unlawful, misleading or against a platform’s policy for a reason we have no rule for, and it will come back clean.
• Rules can lag the law. Regulations, guidance and platform policies change. Our rule set reflects our understanding at the time of your check, at the versions recorded in your audit entry.
• Our rules are written by us, not by lawyers. Every rule cites a provision and is verified against the official text of that provision — the regulation, directive, statute, code or regulator guidance itself. In no market, including the United States, has our rule content been reviewed or signed off by outside counsel. We say so because you should weigh it.
• Language coverage is uneven. Our rule vocabulary is more complete in some languages than others. Where a language is not fully covered the product says so; a check on text in that language can return a clean verdict simply because we have no vocabulary to match it.
• We only see the text. We do not assess images, video, audio, landing pages, targeting, the design or placement of disclosures, your evidence for a claim, or anything else about your campaign or your product.
• A rewrite is a suggestion. It is text generated by machine to avoid the phrases we matched. It is not verified as accurate, substantiated or lawful, and it may change the meaning of your copy. Read it before you use it.

3.4 You decide, and you remain responsible

Publishing is your decision. You remain solely responsible for the truthfulness and substantiation of your claims, for compliance with every law and regulator that applies to you, for the policies of the platforms you advertise on, and for obtaining your own legal advice where you need it. Where you record an override in the product, that records your decision — it does not transfer it to us.

• Business use only. The service is offered for use in a trade, business, craft or profession — your own advertising, or advertising you handle for clients. It is not offered to consumers, and it has no consumer use.
• You must be 18 or older.
• You must not be a person, or acting for a person, subject to sanctions that prohibit us from supplying you, and you must not be located in a territory those sanctions cover.
• If we have previously terminated your account for breach, you may not open another one without our agreement.

§18 explains what happens where the law nevertheless gives you protections that these terms cannot displace.

• Sign-in is by emailed magic link. There are no passwords. Anyone who can read your email can reach your account, so treat that mailbox as the credential it is.
• You are responsible for everything done under your account and by the people you invite to your workspace, including their compliance with these terms.
• Where your plan includes API access, your API keys are credentials: keep them secret, rotate them if exposed, and tell us promptly at security@angleverdict.com if you believe a key or an account has been compromised.
• Automated use must stay inside the rate limits and ingress budget that apply to your plan.

Plans are sold by volume of checks and by seats. The allowance for each plan is shown on our pricing page and in the product. How the meter behaves is worth stating plainly:

• One check is one unit. Allowances run per calendar month and do not carry over.
• Asking for a rewrite costs three units from the same allowance. There is no separate rewrite allowance and no separate rewrite charge.
• There is a hard ceiling at twice your monthly allowance. Past it, checks are refused for the rest of the month. This is an anti-abuse ceiling, not a credit line — if you need the volume, the answer is a larger plan.
• We do not currently charge for usage above your allowance. If we introduce per-check charging in the band between your allowance and the ceiling, we will tell you before it applies to you and publish the rate on our pricing page.
• A free or trial allowance, where offered, is granted once per account and does not reset.

Our records of usage are the ones we bill from. If you think they are wrong, raise it under §16 and we will look.

• Prices are those shown at the time you subscribe, in the currency shown on our pricing page. We take payment through Stripe; we never receive or store your card details.
• Billing is in advance — monthly, or annually where you choose annual prepayment (currently 20% off the monthly rate). Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods until cancelled.
• Taxes. Prices are exclusive of VAT, sales tax, GST and any other tax, duty or withholding. We add tax where we are required to collect it, and any tax that is yours to pay where you are established is yours to handle. If you are a business in the EU outside Poland, give us a valid VAT identification number and account for VAT under the reverse-charge mechanism where it applies. If you are outside the EU, we do not normally charge EU VAT.
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for. You keep access until then. Where the product offers a pause, pausing is not cancelling: it suspends billing and access for the period you choose and then resumes.
• Refunds. Fees for a period that has started are not refundable, in whole or in part, and unused allowance is not refunded or carried over. We may make a goodwill refund; doing so once does not oblige us to do it again. Nothing here limits a refund the law requires us to give.
• Failed payment. If an invoice is unpaid we may suspend access after telling you. We may charge statutory interest on late payment.
• Price changes apply from your next renewal and we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email. If you do not accept the new price, cancel before it takes effect.
• Account credit — including referral credit — has no cash value, is not redeemable for money, and may be reversed if the payment that earned it is refunded or charged back.

You must not:

• submit content you have no right to submit;
• submit personal data you have no lawful basis to share with us, or special-category data under GDPR art. 9, which the service is not built to handle;
• use the service to help produce advertising you know to be false, misleading or unlawful — the service exists to find problems in copy, not to help copy survive a check it should fail;
• treat a verdict as a substitute for the legal advice or substantiation your advertising actually requires;
• work around rate limits, allowances, entitlements or access controls, or use multiple accounts to obtain allowances you are not entitled to;
• copy, scrape or systematically extract our rules, citations, reasoning or other content in order to build or train a competing product or dataset;
• resell, sublicense or make the service available to third parties as a service of your own, except that you may use it in work you do for your own clients;
• attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile or derive our classifier logic, prompts or models, except to the extent the law says you may;
• probe, disrupt or attack the service, submit content designed to manipulate our automated processing, or use it to harass, defraud or harm anyone;
• misrepresent our verdicts as approval, certification or endorsement by us.

If you find a security vulnerability, tell us at security@angleverdict.com. We will not pursue you for good-faith research that respects other people’s data and does not degrade the service.

9.1 Your content and your output

You own the advertising copy you submit, and you own the output the service produces for you — the verdicts, findings and rewritten variants generated from your copy. We claim no ownership of either, and nothing in this agreement needs to grant you those rights, because they were never ours to grant.

You give us permission to host, process, transmit and display your content strictly to provide the service to you, to keep it secure, and to comply with the law. That permission lasts as long as we hold the content and no longer.

9.2 Our service

Everything else is ours: the platform, the rule corpus and its citations, the classifier, prompts, models, evaluation data, documentation and brand. We provide access to a service; nothing here transfers ownership of it, and your subscription is not a licence to our software, our models or our rule content.

9.3 How we improve it

We use signals about how the service performs — which rules fired, which verdicts were returned, which were overridden or disputed, and outcomes you choose to report — to correct and extend our rules. Those signals are aggregated and stripped of your identity and your text before we use them this way.

We do not use the text you submit to train machine-learning models, and our model provider does not use it to train theirs. If you send us feedback or a suggestion, we may act on it freely and owe you nothing for it.

The service is an automated system and part of it is built on a large language model. Verdicts, reasoning and rewritten copy are generated by machine, not written or reviewed by a person before you see them. There is no human review queue: nothing you submit is read by us in the ordinary course of providing the service.

Model inference is performed by our provider, Anthropic, under a commercial agreement that prohibits training on our submissions. Which processing happens where is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Machine-generated output can be wrong, incomplete or inconsistent between runs, and the same text can produce different reasoning on different occasions. §3 is the statement of what the system can and cannot do, and it is written to serve as the instructions for use of an AI system.

The service makes no decision that produces legal effects for anyone or similarly significantly affects them. Every decision that follows a verdict is yours.

How we handle personal data as a controller — your account, your billing, your use of the site — is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Where the content you submit contains personal data, you are the controller of it and we process it on your behalf. This section is our processor agreement with you under art. 28(3) GDPR, and you do not need to sign anything separate for it to apply. We will:

• process that personal data only on your documented instructions — which, for the self-serve service, means your use of its features — including on transfers outside the EEA, unless the law requires otherwise, in which case we will tell you first unless the law forbids it;
• ensure the people who may access it are bound by confidentiality;
• apply appropriate technical and organisational security measures (art. 32);
• engage sub-processors only under the conditions in art. 28(2) and (4). Our current sub-processors are listed in the Privacy Policy; we will give at least 30 days’ notice of a new one and you may terminate this agreement if you reasonably object;
• assist you, so far as we reasonably can and taking into account the nature of the processing, with requests from data subjects and with your obligations under arts. 32 to 36;
• delete or return that personal data at the end of the agreement, except where we must keep it by law;
• make available the information needed to demonstrate compliance with art. 28 and allow and contribute to audits, which we may satisfy by providing our security documentation and answering your questions in writing.

The subject matter is the checking of advertising copy; the duration is the term of this agreement; the nature and purpose are as described in §2; the personal data and categories of data subject are whatever you choose to include in the copy you submit. You must not submit special-category data.

If your procurement requires a separately executed data processing agreement, ask us at legal@angleverdict.com.

We work to keep the service available and accurate, but we do not commit to any uptime level and we do not offer a service-level agreement. Maintenance, incidents and failures at the providers we depend on will cause interruptions.

We change the rule corpus continuously — that is the product. Rules are added, corrected, re-graded and removed, so the same text can return a different verdict on a different day. Your audit entry records the versions your check ran against, which is what makes an old verdict interpretable later.

We may change, add to or withdraw features. If we withdraw a material feature you are paying for, or discontinue the service, we will give you at least 30 days’ notice and refund the unused part of any period you have prepaid.

13.1 The standard we are held to

We owe you an obligation of professional care in performing the service — to run the check you asked for, against the rules in effect, at the versions recorded in your audit entry, and to tell you what matched. We do not owe you a result: we do not promise that your advertising is lawful, that it will be approved, that we will find every problem in it, or that a clean verdict is safe to act on. That distinction is the whole of §3, and it is the basis on which the price is set.

To the fullest extent the law allows, and beyond that obligation of care, the service is provided as it stands and we exclude all implied warranties, terms and conditions, including of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement.

13.2 What we are not liable for

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost or wasted advertising spend, loss of goodwill or reputation, loss of anticipated savings, business interruption, the suspension, restriction or termination of an account you hold with any platform, any fine, penalty or order imposed on you by any authority, or any indirect or consequential loss — however caused, and whether or not we were told it was possible.

13.3 The cap

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability arising out of or in connection with these terms in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period.

13.4 What is never limited

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for damage caused intentionally, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

You will indemnify us against any claim, proceeding, loss, damage, fine and reasonable cost (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• the advertising you publish and the claims you make in it;
• the content you submit to us, including any right in it or personal data in it;
• your breach of these terms, in particular §8;
• your presentation of a verdict of ours to any third party as approval, certification or a guarantee.

We will tell you promptly about any claim, will not settle it without your agreement (not to be unreasonably withheld), and will let you take over its defence if you wish.

• You may stop using the service at any time and cancel under §7.
• We may terminate a subscription on 30 days’ notice, refunding the unused part of any period you have prepaid.
• Either of us may terminate immediately for a material breach the other has not put right within 14 days of being asked to.
• We may suspend access immediately, and without a refund for the period of suspension, where you materially breach §8, where an invoice is more than 30 days overdue, or where we must act to protect the service, other customers or ourselves. We will tell you why, unless the law prevents us.

When the agreement ends, your access ends. You can export your data through the product, or ask us for it, for 30 days afterwards. We then delete or anonymise it on the schedule in our Privacy Policy, except where the law requires us to keep it. Sections 3, 9, 11, 13, 14, 18 and 20 survive termination.

If something is wrong — the service, a verdict, an invoice, a usage figure — tell us at support@angleverdict.com. Include your account email, what happened, when, and what you would like us to do. Where it concerns a specific check, the check’s reference from your audit trail lets us reconstruct exactly what ran.

We will acknowledge your complaint within 3 working days and answer it within 14 days. If we need longer we will tell you why and when to expect an answer. We will reply by email to the address you wrote from unless you ask us to use another.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may take the matter to the courts identified in §18.

We may change these terms. We will publish the new version here with a new date, and for changes that materially affect your rights or obligations we will email you at least 30 days before they take effect.

If you do not accept a material change, cancel before the effective date; we will refund the unused part of any period you have prepaid. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the new terms.

This section answers one question — under which law we settle a disagreement — and it does not narrow who we sell to. We serve customers internationally; the answer below is a consequence of where we are established, in the same way that a company in Delaware or Singapore names its own law without that saying anything about its customers.

These terms and any dispute arising out of them, including non-contractual disputes, are governed by Polish law. The courts of Poland with jurisdiction over our registered seat have exclusive jurisdiction. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The service is offered for business use (§4). Where, despite that, the mandatory law of the country in which you are established or habitually resident gives you protections that cannot be excluded by agreement — consumer protections, and in some countries protections extended to sole traders and very small businesses — those protections apply and prevail over anything in these terms that conflicts with them, including the choice of court above. We do not ask you to give up rights you cannot lawfully give up.

These terms are made in English only. English is the language of this agreement and of our communications with you. Our website is published in a number of languages; those pages are marketing material and do not form part of this agreement. If we later publish a translation of these terms, it will be for convenience and the English version will prevail, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the service and replace anything said before. Nothing here excludes liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
• Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands and the provision is read down to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a right once does not waive it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these terms without our written consent. We may assign them to a group company or in connection with a merger, reorganisation or sale of the business; we will tell you if we do.
• Notices. We write to the email address on your account — keep it current. You write to legal@angleverdict.com.
• Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure caused by something outside our reasonable control. This does not excuse paying money that is due.
• No partnership. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.
• Third parties. Nobody other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms.
