Terms
Last updated:
These are the terms under which you can use Archēglyph during its current pre-release period. They are short on purpose; if anything here is unclear, write to [email protected].
Acceptable use
By creating an account you agree not to:
- Upload material you do not have the right to process — copyrighted works without a research exemption, private documents belonging to others, or content whose distribution is unlawful in your jurisdiction.
- Use the service to generate or amplify harassment, disinformation, or targeted profiling of private individuals.
- Attempt to disrupt the service, evade rate limits, or extract other users' data.
- Re-sell access to the service or to the hosted VLM/LLM engines reached through it.
We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these rules and to notify affected rights-holders when required by law.
Attribution when reproducing outputs
When you reproduce Archēglyph-generated outputs — extracted text, cluster labels, visualisations — in published research or public writing, please attribute the engine that produced them. The product surfaces the engine name and version next to every output for this reason. A reasonable citation looks like:
Text extracted using Archēglyph withtesseract 5.3; clusters fit withHDBSCANoverBAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5embeddings.
This is the same discipline we apply to our own writing and it makes your results reproducible.
No warranty
Archēglyph is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. Extraction and clustering are probabilistic; outputs can be wrong, incomplete, or biased by the underlying models. Do not rely on Archēglyph outputs for legal, medical, or safety-critical decisions. We recommend the review step — with the provenance badge and the re-run affordance — before treating any extraction as authoritative.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Archēglyph's liability for any claim arising from your use of the service is limited to the amount you paid for it in the preceding twelve months. During the free pre-release period, that amount is zero.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms materially, we will notify active accounts by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after that constitutes acceptance.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Archēglyph's operating entity is registered. The registered entity and jurisdiction will be filled in once the project has a formal legal home; until then, disputes will be handled in good faith via correspondence at [email protected].
