Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2024

1. The Service

Scholarly is a research-assistance tool that queries multiple large language models in parallel and synthesizes their outputs into literature reviews. It is a tool for drafting and exploration — not an authoritative source.

2. Your Keys, Your Responsibility

You configure your own LLM provider accounts and API keys. Usage charges incurred through those keys are billed by the provider directly to you. You are responsible for keeping your keys confidential and for complying with each provider's terms of service.

3. Accuracy Disclaimer

LLM output can be wrong, incomplete, or confidently fabricated — including citations. The cross-verification matrix reduces this risk but does not eliminate it. Always verify quoted works, page numbers, and claims against primary sources before citing them in your own work. Output shown in demo mode is illustrative sample data, not research.

4. Acceptable Use

Do not use the service to process confidential or export-controlled material you are not authorized to send to third-party model providers, to generate content for deceptive academic submission, or to probe or disrupt the service or other users' sessions.

5. No Warranty

The service is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee uptime, output quality, or preservation of run history — export reviews you intend to keep.

6. Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time; continued use constitutes acceptance. Questions: contact us.
