Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Sachilo, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the service. Your continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any updates to these terms.

2. Description of Service

Sachilo is an automated fact-checking platform. Users submit URLs of news articles or claims, and our system uses artificial intelligence to analyze the content, search for supporting or contradicting evidence, and generate a verdict. Verdicts are produced entirely by AI without human editorial review at the time of generation.

3. Disclaimer of Accuracy

All verdicts are generated by automated systems and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Our assessments do not constitute legal, professional, or journalistic advice. You should not rely solely on our verdicts for any decision-making. We strongly encourage users to verify information independently using multiple sources.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: use automated tools to scrape or excessively query the service; attempt to circumvent rate limits or access controls; submit URLs containing illegal content or content that violates the rights of others; use the platform to harass, defame, or harm any person or organization; or interfere with the proper operation of the service.

5. Intellectual Property

Verdicts and reports generated by Sachilo are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). You are free to share and adapt our verdicts provided you give appropriate credit and distribute any derivative work under the same license. Users retain all rights to the URLs and content they submit for checking.

6. Corrections Policy

We welcome correction requests from anyone. If you believe a verdict is inaccurate or based on outdated information, you may contact us to request a review. We will re-evaluate the claim and update the verdict when warranted. Corrections are processed in good faith and may take reasonable time to complete.

7. Rate Limits & Access

To ensure fair access and prevent abuse, we impose rate limits on submissions. These limits may vary and are applied based on device identity. We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access for users who repeatedly violate usage policies or attempt to circumvent access controls.

8. Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Sachilo, its operators, and contributors shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or consequences arising from your use of or reliance on the service, including any decisions made based on our automated verdicts.

9. Governing Law

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Nepal. Any disputes arising from the use of this service shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Nepal.

10. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
