Terms of Service

These are the terms you accept when you use aisummary. We kept them short on purpose and a lawyer read them after. If anything feels off, write to us through the contact form and we'll look at it.

1. Who we are

aisummary is operated by a small independent studio based in Portland, Oregon. References to we, us, and our in this document mean that studio. References to you mean the person using the service.

2. What the service does

You give us the URL of a web page. We fetch that page, read the public text on it, and return a structured summary. We do not guarantee the summary is free of errors. We do our best to get it right. Do not rely on the summary for anything where accuracy matters more than convenience — legal filings, medical decisions, academic citations. Go read the source.

3. Accounts

You can create a free account with an email and a password. You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself. If you think someone else is using your account, tell us through the contact form and we'll lock it.

If you create an account with a false name, a disposable email, or credentials that don't belong to you, we'll close the account when we notice. No refund in that case.

4. What you can't do

You can't use aisummary to scrape sites at a rate that looks automated. The free tier limits summaries to ten a day per account. Creating ten free accounts to bypass that limit is against these terms and will get every one of them suspended.

You can't use the service to summarize content that it is illegal for you to access — private pages, paywalled articles you bypassed, leaked documents, intranet URLs. We don't check, but if a rights holder tells us, we stop summarizing that source for your account.

You can't resell the output as your own editorial content and present it as if you had read and written the summary yourself. Attribution is in the output for a reason.

5. Your content

You own the summaries you keep in your library. We don't claim any rights to them. We don't train models on what you save. We don't sell your reading list. If we ever change that, we tell you ninety days in advance and we give you a clean export first.

6. Our content

The interface, the code, the branding, and the copy on aisummary.link belong to us. You can quote short passages of them in reviews. You can't copy the site and run it as your own.

7. The Pro plan

Pro is eight dollars a month, billed monthly, charged to the card you give us. You can cancel at any time from your account page. Cancellation stops the next charge. We don't prorate unused days in the current month unless you ask.

If we raise the Pro price, we give you sixty days notice and we honor your existing rate for the next renewal before the new price applies.

8. Refunds

If you subscribed by mistake or changed your mind within seven days, write to us through the contact form and we'll refund the charge without asking questions. After seven days, we look at each case individually. We have never refused a refund that felt fair.

9. Availability

We aim for the service to be available most of the time. We don't promise a specific uptime number because we don't want to lie to you. We depend on third-party model providers who occasionally have outages of their own. When that happens we say so, loudly, on the status page.

10. Closing an account

You can close your account from the account page at any time. When you do, we delete your library within thirty days. We keep billing records for as long as the law requires us to, which in the United States is typically seven years for tax purposes.

We can close your account if you break these terms, if your payment fails three months in a row, or if you abuse the service in a way that hurts other users. We try to warn first.

11. Warranty and liability

The service is provided as-is. We don't promise it will be free of bugs, downtime, or the occasional weird summary. To the maximum extent allowed by law, our liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the last twelve months, which for the free tier is zero.

12. Changes to these terms

We can update these terms. When we do, we change the date at the top and we email you at least thirty days before changes that materially affect what you can or can't do. If you don't agree with an update, you can close your account before it takes effect.

13. Applicable law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States. Any dispute we can't resolve by talking about it will go before the state or federal courts of Multnomah County, Oregon.
