Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CalibRank ("the platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. Description of Service

CalibRank is an AI-powered debate intelligence platform. Users submit arguments on debate topics, which are scored by AI on clarity, evidence, logic, and originality. The platform also enables voting, challenges, and community discussion.

3. Accounts

You may browse debates and vote as a guest. To submit arguments, earn Caliber Points, and appear on the leaderboard, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and all activity under it.

You must provide accurate information when creating your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of the arguments and content you submit. By posting content on CalibRank, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and process your content as part of the platform's operation (including AI scoring, embedding generation, and public display).

You are solely responsible for the content you submit. Content must not violate applicable laws or the rights of others.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Submit content that is illegal, threatening, harassing, or defamatory
• Impersonate another person or entity
• Manipulate scores or votes through automated means, multiple accounts, or coordinated abuse
• Circumvent or interfere with the toxicity filter, rate limits, or CAPTCHA
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the platform without permission
• Attempt to access other users' accounts or private data
• Use the platform to distribute spam, malware, or phishing content

6. Content Moderation

All submitted arguments are automatically processed by an AI toxicity filter. Content classified as harassment, objectification, or derogatory is blocked. Content containing profanity is sanitized. Content flagged as potential misinformation is marked as disputed.

We reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts at our discretion if we determine that a user is acting in bad faith or violating these terms.

7. AI Scoring

AI scores are generated automatically and reflect the AI's assessment of argument quality. Scores are not guaranteed to be perfect or unbiased. We continuously work to improve scoring accuracy, but AI scores should not be interpreted as definitive truth or endorsement.

8. Tiers and Roles

CalibRank has three user tiers: Guest, Member, and Titan. Titan status is granted at our discretion and may be revoked if a Titan abuses their privileges. Titan privileges include approving debate requests and editing debate metadata.

9. Intellectual Property

The CalibRank name, logo, design, and underlying technology are our intellectual property. You may not use our branding without written permission. The platform's source code is hosted on GitHub but is not licensed for redistribution or commercial use unless explicitly stated.

10. Availability

We aim to keep CalibRank available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may perform maintenance, updates, or changes that temporarily affect availability. We are not liable for any losses caused by service interruptions.

11. Limitation of Liability

CalibRank is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. Significant changes will be communicated via the platform. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
