R-Searcher is currently in free early access. You receive:

5 article analyzes / week
70 text explanations / week
Weekly limits reset on Monday at 00:00 UTC

Limits are enforced server-side to protect the service during early access. We may update the service over time, but these Terms describe the current launch model.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Attempt to bypass, reverse engineer, or abuse the rate limiting system
Use the service to process content that is illegal, harmful, or violates third-party rights
Automate requests in a way that exceeds normal human usage patterns
Resell or redistribute access to the service

4. AI-Generated Content

R-Searcher uses AI to generate responses. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. You are responsible for verifying any information before relying on it for important decisions. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of AI-generated content.

5. Content You Submit

You retain ownership of content you submit. By using the service, you grant us a limited license to process your submitted text solely for the purpose of generating AI responses. We do not store or use your content for any other purpose.

6. Intellectual Property

R-Searcher is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, accuracy of results, or fitness for any particular purpose. Use at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of R-Searcher, including but not limited to data loss, decisions made based on AI output, or service interruptions.

9. Service Availability

Availability is not guaranteed if the AI provider (Google Gemini) is temporarily unavailable. We may suspend or limit access to the service at any time, including in cases of abuse, technical issues, or budget constraints. We are not obligated to provide advance notice.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of R-Searcher after changes constitutes acceptance. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
