Terms of Service

Last updated: March 8, 2026 · Effective immediately upon use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using the HalluTrace AI platform, website (hallutraceai.com), APIs, SDKs, documentation, or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you must immediately cease all use of the Service. Your continued use of the Service following any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of those modifications.

2. Description of Service

HalluTrace AI provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for Large Language Model (LLM) tracing and hallucination detection. The Service allows users to submit trace data (including LLM inputs, outputs, system prompts, and metadata) via API or SDK, upload CSV datasets, and receive automated evaluation scores indicating the estimated degree of hallucination in LLM outputs.

The Service is a diagnostic and informational tool only. It is not a decision-making system, safety-critical system, or compliance tool. Evaluation results are generated by automated processes (including LLM-as-judge techniques) and are probabilistic estimates, not deterministic facts. Results should be treated as one data point among many in your quality assurance process.

3. Account Registration & Security

To use the Service, you must create an account and provide accurate, complete, and current information. You are solely responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, passwords, and API keys
  • All activities that occur under your account, whether authorized or unauthorized
  • Promptly notifying us of any unauthorized access or security breach
  • Ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account credentials or API keys. You acknowledge that sharing API keys with unauthorized parties may result in unauthorized access to your data and charges to your account.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, or other users' accounts
  • Send malicious, corrupted, or intentionally misleading data designed to exploit, overwhelm, or manipulate our evaluation engine
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, or evaluation prompts of the Service
  • Resell, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its output without prior written permission
  • Exceed published rate limits, abuse free tier allocations, or circumvent usage restrictions
  • Use the Service to develop a competing product or service
  • Transmit any data that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our infrastructure
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to access the Service outside of our published APIs and SDKs
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service for other users

Violation of this policy may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without notice or refund.

5. Data Ownership & License

Your Data: You retain all ownership rights to the trace data, inputs, outputs, prompts, and any other content you submit to the Service ("Your Data"). By submitting Your Data, you grant HalluTrace AI a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to process, analyze, store, and transmit Your Data solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. This license terminates when you delete Your Data or your account is terminated.

Our Service: The Service, including all software, algorithms, evaluation methodologies, prompts, models, user interfaces, designs, documentation, and intellectual property, is and remains the exclusive property of HalluTrace AI. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights to our intellectual property except the limited right to use the Service as provided herein.

Aggregated Data: We may collect and use aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified data derived from your use of the Service for purposes such as improving our algorithms, generating benchmarks, and producing industry reports. Such aggregated data will not identify you or any individual.

6. Pricing, Billing & Refunds

The Service is offered under tiered pricing plans as described on our website. Free tier includes 10M tokens per month. Pay as You Go is billed based on token usage. MAX-T is a monthly subscription at $895/month.

  • All fees are charged in US Dollars (USD) and are non-refundable unless otherwise required by applicable law
  • Credit deposits are non-refundable once applied to your account balance
  • We reserve the right to change pricing at any time with 30 days' prior notice
  • Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing
  • You are responsible for all applicable taxes in your jurisdiction
  • Failure to pay may result in suspension or termination of your account
  • Subscription plans auto-renew unless canceled before the end of the billing period
  • Credits expire if your account is terminated or remains inactive for 12 months

A processing fee may apply to deposits and transactions. Payment is processed by Stripe, Inc. and is subject to Stripe's terms and conditions.

7. Service Availability & Uptime

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANY SPECIFIC LEVEL OF SERVICE AVAILABILITY, UPTIME, OR PERFORMANCE.

While we make commercially reasonable efforts to maintain high availability, the Service is provided on an "as available" basis. Service interruptions may occur due to, but not limited to: scheduled maintenance, unscheduled maintenance, server failures, network outages, software bugs, third-party service failures, DDoS attacks, natural disasters, force majeure events, or any other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We are not liable for any damages, losses, lost revenue, lost data, or any other harm resulting from service interruptions, downtime, degraded performance, data loss, or unavailability of the Service, regardless of duration or cause. You acknowledge that you have no expectation of uninterrupted service and agree not to hold HalluTrace AI liable for any downtime or performance issues.

8. Evaluation Accuracy Disclaimer

HALLUCINATION DETECTION SCORES AND ALL EVALUATION RESULTS ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY "AS IS" AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Our evaluation engine uses automated LLM-based techniques to estimate hallucination likelihood. These techniques are inherently probabilistic and subject to errors, false positives, false negatives, and inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • Evaluation scores are estimates, not definitive determinations of factual accuracy
  • A low hallucination score does not guarantee that the evaluated output is factually correct
  • A high hallucination score does not guarantee that the evaluated output is factually incorrect
  • Evaluation results may vary over time due to changes in our models, algorithms, or evaluation prompts
  • We make no representation or warranty regarding the fitness of our evaluations for safety-critical, medical, legal, financial, or compliance applications
  • You are solely responsible for independently verifying any information or output evaluated by our Service before relying on it for any purpose

You use our evaluation results entirely at your own risk. HalluTrace AI shall not be held liable for any decisions, actions, or omissions made in reliance on evaluation results provided by the Service.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

  • WARRANTIES THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS
  • WARRANTIES THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER
  • WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from HalluTrace AI or through the Service, shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF HALLUTRACE AI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY CASE, HALLUTRACE AI'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO HALLUTRACE AI IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100.00).

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR DAMAGES. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Indemnification

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which HalluTrace AI operates, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
