Terms of Service

Last updated: March 17, 2026

By using VectorCourt ("Service"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What VectorCourt is

VectorCourt is a decision intelligence system. Multiple AI models deliberate on your question from opposing perspectives, producing structured reasoning artifacts — including claims, assumptions, counterfactuals, and failure analyses. These artifacts are designed to support auditability, review, and organizational learning over time.

2. What VectorCourt is not

VectorCourt does not provide legal, financial, medical, or any other professional advice. Verdicts are deliberation artifacts, not recommendations. The council deliberates; you decide. You must apply your own independent judgment before acting on any verdict.

The council will not deliberate on:

• Medical, health, or treatment questions
• Investment or personal financial advice
• Specific legal advice or liability assessment
• Political or electoral opinion
• Crisis or self-harm related queries
• Weapons or harmful activity

Engineering decisions that touch these domains (e.g., "should we build HIPAA-compliant infrastructure" or "what compliance framework fits our fintech") are accepted when the engineering context is dominant.

3. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose of any verdict or output. AI models can be wrong. The council can be wrong. That is why it is adversarial.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VectorCourt's total liability for any claims arising from your use of the Service is limited to the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. In no event shall VectorCourt be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of or reliance on any verdict.

5. Auditability

VectorCourt produces structured reasoning traces, claim graphs, minority reports, and attack analyses as part of every verdict. These artifacts provide a decision audit trail suitable for board reporting, compliance review, and postmortem analysis. The system records how the council argued, where it disagreed, and what changed — not just the conclusion.

6. Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for decisions made based on verdicts. You acknowledge that:

• Verdicts are reasoning artifacts, not directives
• You must evaluate verdicts using your own expertise and judgment
• You assume all risk associated with acting on any verdict

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose
• Attempt prompt injection or extraction of model system prompts
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the reasoning pipeline or model orchestration
• Systematically benchmark or probe the Service to replicate its behavior
• Resell or redistribute API access without authorization
• Automate scraping of verdicts or abuse rate limits
• Submit content that is harmful, abusive, or violates the rights of others

8. API keys

API keys are licensed, not sold. Keys are non-transferable and may be revoked at our discretion. Rate limits and quotas are subject to change. You are responsible for keeping your API key confidential.

9. Free tier

The free tier is provided with no service level agreement and no uptime guarantee. We may modify, limit, or withdraw free tier access at any time without notice.

10. Data ownership and handling

You retain ownership of your data. Your questions, context, and any evidence you provide remain yours. By submitting a question, you grant us a license to process it through third-party AI model providers solely for the purpose of generating your verdict. We do not claim ownership of insights, reasoning artifacts, or verdicts generated from your input. Your data is processed and stored as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate at any time. You may stop using the Service. We may revoke your access for violation of these terms. On termination, your data is retained per our retention policy and then deleted.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Keyed users will be notified by email at least 30 days before changes take effect. For free tier users, changes are effective immediately upon posting.
