Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Last updated: May 18, 2026

1. Not Professional Advice

TruthChecker is an AI-powered article analysis tool that provides automated fact-checking assessments for informational and educational purposes only. The analysis, trust scores, annotations, and any other output generated by TruthChecker do not constitute:

• Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations
• Legal advice or legal opinions
• Financial, investment, or tax advice
• Professional advice of any kind
• A substitute for consultation with qualified professionals

You should always consult with appropriate qualified professionals before making decisions based on information found in any article, whether or not it has been analyzed by TruthChecker.

2. AI Limitations & Accuracy

TruthChecker uses large language models (artificial intelligence) to analyze articles. While we strive to provide useful analysis, you must understand that:

• AI models can and do produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading results
• The AI may "hallucinate" facts, references, or data that do not exist
• Trust scores are subjective AI assessments, not objective measurements
• Analysis quality depends on the AI model's training data and may not reflect the most current information
• The AI may fail to identify errors in articles or may incorrectly flag accurate information as problematic
• Results may vary between analyses of the same article
• The system cannot verify claims that require access to proprietary databases, unpublished research, or real-time data

Never rely solely on TruthChecker's analysis to make important decisions. Always verify critical claims through authoritative primary sources.

3. No Warranty

TruthChecker is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, reliability, or non-infringement.

• Loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses
• Personal injury or property damage arising from use of the service
• Any health-related decisions made based on TruthChecker's analysis

This limitation applies regardless of whether the damages arise from use or misuse of the service, inability to use the service, or any information provided by the service.

5. Third-Party Content

TruthChecker analyzes content from third-party websites and publications. We do not:

• Control, own, or endorse the content of analyzed articles
• Guarantee the accuracy of the source material being analyzed
• Assume responsibility for any third-party content

Article content is fetched solely for the purpose of analysis and is processed through AI models as-is. The analysis reflects the AI's interpretation of the content at the time of processing.
