Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using AuthProof's services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. AuthProof ("AuthProof", "we", "us") operates the AuthProof platform at authproof.ai. If you are using our services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the services.

2. Description of Services

AuthProof provides a trust and proofing platform for digital content. Our services help users create cryptographically verifiable proof records - including SHA-256 integrity fingerprints, chain-of-custody audit trails, optional Ed25519 digital signatures (Ed25519 signatures issued earlier remain verifiable), and shareable verification certificates.

Depending on the features used, AuthProof may provide verification reports, public verification pages, optional duplicate-registration lookups, and exportable PDF artifacts. Any registry advisories are informational only. These outputs help users document content integrity and support audit, editorial, legal, and compliance workflows.

AuthProof proof records confirm that specific content was submitted and hashed at a recorded timestamp, and - when signed - that a cryptographic signature was applied by the submitting account. They do not confirm authorship, identity, factual accuracy, or legal ownership. Optional duplicate-registration advisories are informational and do not replace cryptographic integrity proof.

Verification results reflect the information, content, and signals available at the time of processing. Users should apply their own judgment when interpreting results and determining how they are used within their workflows.

We continuously improve our services, methodologies, and proof capabilities to provide reliable and transparent tools for individuals and organizations.

3. Account Registration

You may be required to create an account to access certain features of AuthProof. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep that information updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, you should notify us promptly.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use AuthProof responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. You may not attempt to interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the platform, access services through unauthorized means, or use the platform in a manner that infringes the rights of others.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit content for verification or analysis.

Verification reports, authenticity records, and related outputs should be represented accurately and in their original form when shared with others.

5. Intellectual Property

AuthProof and its licensors retain all rights, title, and interest in the platform, software, methodologies, trademarks, branding, and related intellectual property.

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the platform. Submission of content grants AuthProof the limited rights necessary to process, analyze, verify, and provide services requested by you.

Verification reports, authenticity records, and shareable verification pages generated through the platform may be used and shared by you in connection with your personal, educational, professional, or business activities, provided they are not altered in a misleading manner.

6. Payment Terms

Certain features of AuthProof require a paid subscription. Available plans, pricing, usage limits, and billing terms are presented at the time of purchase.

Subscriptions are available on monthly and annual billing cycles and renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

We may update pricing or plan features from time to time and will provide reasonable notice of material changes where required. Cancellations and refunds are described in our Refund Policy. For billing or subscription-related questions, please contact [email protected].

7. Service Availability

We strive to provide a reliable and accessible platform and continually invest in maintaining and improving service performance, security, and availability.

From time to time, maintenance, upgrades, or unforeseen events may affect service availability. We work to minimize disruptions and restore services promptly whenever interruptions occur.

Additional service commitments may be provided under separate agreements for qualifying business or enterprise customers.

8. Limitation of Liability

AuthProof provides tools intended to help users create and share cryptographically verifiable proof records for digital content. Users remain responsible for how they interpret, rely upon, and use information generated by the platform.

AuthProof proof records do not constitute legal advice, evidence admissibility determinations, or guarantees of authorship, identity, or factual accuracy. Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of proof records complies with applicable laws and the requirements of their jurisdiction or industry.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AuthProof's aggregate liability arising from or related to the use of the services shall not exceed the amount paid by the user for the services during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.

9. Termination

You may discontinue use of the services at any time. AuthProof may suspend or terminate access where necessary to protect the platform, comply with legal obligations, or address violations of these Terms.

Upon termination, access to applicable services and features may end. Users are encouraged to retain copies of any reports, records, or materials they wish to keep for their own records.

Certain provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect following termination.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable laws and regulations. The parties agree to make reasonable efforts to resolve any disputes through good-faith discussions before pursuing formal legal remedies.

Where permitted by law, unresolved disputes may be submitted to arbitration or another mutually agreed dispute resolution process.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or business practices. Updated versions will be posted on this page along with the revised effective date.

Continued use of AuthProof after updates become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
