Terms of Service
Last updated: June 2026
1. Acceptance
By accessing or using aiclear.org (the “Site”) and the services available through it (the “Services”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or Services.
2. The service
AI Clear, Inc. (“AI Clear,” “we,” “us”) publishes an independent AI transparency rating system. The public registry, quarterly reports, and methodology documentation are openly accessible at no charge. Certification, monitoring, and data API products are paid services governed by separate written agreements, which control in the event of any conflict with these Terms.
3. Nature of the ratings
AI Clear scores and letter grades are statements of opinion. Each score reflects AI Clear’s evaluative judgment, formed by applying our published methodology to publicly available, externally verifiable evidence as of the date of observation. A score is not a statement of fact about a company, and it is not a representation that a company’s AI systems are safe, accurate, unbiased, lawful, or compliant with any law or standard. Reasonable analysts applying the same methodology may reach different conclusions.
The factual evidence cited on a company’s scorecard, including the documents and pages reviewed and the URLs where they were found, is provided so readers can evaluate the basis for our opinion and form their own views. We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure cited evidence is accurate as of the observation date. Public disclosures change over time, and a score reflects what was publicly available when it was generated.
Nothing on the Site is an endorsement, a certification of compliance, or a guarantee of any company, product, or outcome, except where AI Clear has issued a written certification under a separate agreement.
4. Not professional advice
The Site, the registry, the reports, and all scores are provided for general informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal, regulatory, compliance, accounting, investment, or financial advice, and they are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security or to enter into or refrain from any transaction. AI Clear is not your advisor or fiduciary. You remain responsible for your own decisions and should consult qualified professionals before acting on any information from the Site.
5. AI Clear is not a regulated rating agency
AI Clear is an independent private company. It is not a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), a credit rating agency, an auditor, a government-accredited certification body, or a government or regulatory authority. The word “rating” describes the nature of AI Clear’s product and does not imply any regulatory status, license, or official endorsement.
6. Corrections and appeals
A company or its authorized representative may request a correction or appeal of a score at no charge through our Corrections and Appeals process at aiclear.org/appeals. The submission steps, review timeline, and possible outcomes are described on that page. The appeals process operates independently of AI Clear’s sales and certification functions, and use of any paid product is never a condition of requesting or obtaining a correction.
7. Accuracy and updates
We strive for accuracy but do not guarantee that all information on the Site is complete, current, or error-free. Scores are reviewed and updated on a periodic basis. When we correct a material error in a score, we update the published score and note the change in the score’s history.
8. Intellectual property and permitted use of scores
The AI Clear methodology is published for transparency and reproducibility. The methodology, the rubric, brand assets, and Site content are owned by AI Clear and protected by applicable law. You may cite or reference a published score with attribution to AI Clear and a link to the relevant scorecard. You may not alter a score, present a score as anything other than AI Clear’s opinion, imply AI Clear’s endorsement, or use AI Clear’s marks in a way that suggests affiliation or sponsorship.
9. Company names and trademarks
Company, product, and service names referenced on the Site are used for identification, commentary, and comparison only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement by those companies. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. To submit a trademark or content concern, contact legal@aiclear.org.
10. User conduct
You agree not to misrepresent AI Clear scores, scrape or harvest the registry beyond reasonable use, circumvent technical controls, or interfere with the operation of the Site.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. AI CLEAR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OR THAT ANY INFORMATION IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AI CLEAR AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR RELIANCE ON, THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR ANY SCORE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. AI CLEAR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SITE WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
[Counsel to set the cap. Paid services are governed by their own agreements.]
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold AI Clear harmless from third-party claims arising out of your misuse of the Site or Services or your violation of these Terms.
[Optional, counsel to confirm.]
14. Dispute resolution and governing law
[Placeholder. Decide governing law, pre-suit notice-and-cure, arbitration vs. court, venue, and jury and class-action waivers with counsel.]
15. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes are reflected in the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
