Terms of Service
Last updated: January 2025
The Layal Promise
"Layal will never pretend certainty it doesn't have."
This is the core principle that guides everything we build. By using Layal, you agree to engage with an AI system that prioritizes honesty over confidence.
What Layal Is
- An honesty layer: Layal adds transparency to AI responses by labeling each claim with its epistemic status
- A fact-checking tool: We independently verify claims against trusted sources when possible
- A research assistant: Layal helps you understand what's verified, inferred, or generated
What Layal Is NOT
- Not a source of absolute truth: We help you assess claims, but you should always verify critical information
- Not medical/legal/financial advice: Layal is an AI assistant, not a licensed professional
- Not hallucination-free: We label uncertainty, but AI systems can still make mistakes
Acceptable Use
By using Layal, you agree to:
- Use the service lawfully and ethically
- Not attempt to bypass rate limits or abuse the API
- Not use Layal to generate harmful, misleading, or illegal content
- Take responsibility for how you use information provided
Account Responsibility
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us of any unauthorized access
Intellectual Property
- You retain ownership of your questions and inputs
- AI-generated responses are provided for your use
- The Layal platform, design, and code remain our property
Service Availability
We strive to maintain high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. We reserve the right to:
- Modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice
- Implement rate limits to ensure fair usage
- Suspend accounts that violate these terms
Disclaimer
Layal is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. While we work hard to be accurate and transparent, AI systems can make mistakes. Critical decisions should always be verified through authoritative sources.
Changes to Terms
We may update these terms occasionally. Significant changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
