Terms of service
Draft: awaiting attorney review. Do not rely on this until it has been reviewed. [Company legal name], [contact email], the refund terms and the governing law must be confirmed before launch.
These terms are an agreement between you and [Company legal name] ("Sourken"), a Tennessee company. By using Sourken, you agree to them.
What Sourken does
Sourken compares claims on public web pages with evidence from official and research sources. Scores and labels describe the evidence we found behind a page's claims at the time of the check. They're our opinion, based on the sources shown. They aren't a judgment of a site, business or product, and they aren't legal, medical or financial advice.
Accuracy and limits
Checks use automated tools, including AI, and can be wrong or incomplete. Two checks of the same page can differ, and evidence and pages change over time. Each result shows when it was checked. Read the linked sources and make your own decision.
Credits and payment
- You buy credits in loads, at the price shown when you buy. Credits don't expire while your account is open.
- A new check uses one credit, even if the page hasn't changed. Viewing a saved check is free while you have credits.
- If a check can't finish, the credit is returned.
- When you buy a load, Stripe saves your card so you can reload. We never see your card details, and you can change or remove the card from your account.
- Automatic reload is optional. If you turn it on, you authorize us to charge your saved card the load price shown in your account each time your balance goes below the amount you chose, until you turn it off. You can turn it off at any time. You'll get a receipt by email for each charge.
- If an automatic reload fails, we turn it off and it won't be retried until you turn it back on. [Refund terms to be confirmed.]
Our database
Results of the checks you run become part of Sourken's database. We own that database and may show its contents to other customers and license it to others. You may use results you receive for your own personal or internal business purposes, but you may not copy the database or resell results.
Nobody can buy a better result
No payment changes a score, a rank or whether a site is listed. Credits and plans buy checks, not outcomes.
Site owners
If you run a site, you can verify ownership to see the reasons behind its results and run a new check, which uses credits like any other check. Paying buys a new check, never a particular result. If your pages haven't changed since the last check, the result stays the same and your credits are returned. If you believe a result is wrong, contact [contact email].
Acceptable use
Don't misuse Sourken, including by overloading it, scraping it, sharing your account, using results to harass anyone, or presenting results as anything other than Sourken's opinion at a point in time.
Disclaimers and liability
Sourken is provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
Ending your account, and changes
We may suspend accounts that break these terms. We may change these terms by updating this page; if a change is significant, we'll tell you first.
Governing law
[Tennessee law and venue, to be confirmed by counsel.]
