Terms of Service
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using DebunkTheAI.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by these terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By visiting, browsing, reading, or otherwise using DebunkTheAI.com (the “Site”), you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated here by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Site. These Terms apply to all visitors, readers, subscribers, commenters, and any other users of the Site.
If you are using the Site on behalf of a business, organisation, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. About this site
DebunkTheAI.com is an independent editorial publication. Its content consists of reviews, analyses, commentary, opinions, and investigative Teardowns of artificial intelligence tools, platforms, and software products. The Site is operated independently and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of the AI vendors, platforms, or products reviewed on it unless otherwise expressly disclosed.
The Site may change focus, add or remove content categories, publish reader-submitted corrections, or update existing articles at any time without prior notice.
3. Content accuracy and editorial opinion
All articles, reviews, scores, ratings, analyses, and other content published on the Site represent the editorial opinion of the author at the time of publication. They are not statements of fact, professional advice, or representations made by any third party.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure accuracy at the time of publication. However, the AI tools and services we cover change rapidly — pricing, features, policies, and company structures can shift materially after an article is published. We recommend always verifying current details directly with the relevant vendor before making a purchasing, investment, or deployment decision.
Important: Nothing on this Site constitutes financial, investment, legal, technical, or professional advice of any kind. Do not make material business or purchasing decisions based solely on content published here.
4. Affiliate links and commercial relationships
Some articles on this Site contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and subsequently make a purchase, the Site may receive a commission or referral fee from the relevant vendor at no additional cost to you.
Our editorial policy requires that:
- All material affiliate relationships are disclosed in the relevant article and/or in our Affiliate Disclosure page.
- Affiliate arrangements do not influence or alter the BS Meter scores, editorial verdicts, or factual findings in any review.
- Scores and editorial conclusions are finalised before any commercial arrangement with a reviewed vendor is considered.
We may receive products, trial access, or review copies from vendors at no cost. Any such arrangement will be disclosed in the relevant article. Receipt of free access does not guarantee a positive review.
5. Intellectual property and permitted use
