Terms of Use

Last updated 9 July 2026

By using ScanForAI you agree to these terms. Please read the accuracy section carefully — it matters more here than on most sites.

1. The service

ScanForAI is an explainable AI-writing detector. You paste text and we estimate how much of it reads like AI-generated writing, showing the signals behind the score.

2. Accuracy — a signal, not a verdict

No AI detector, including ScanForAI, can prove whether text was written by a human or by AI. Every result is a probability estimate from writing patterns and can be wrong in both directions — formal, technical, or non-native human writing can score high, and edited or newer AI can score low.

You agree that you will not use ScanForAI as the sole basis for any consequential decision about a person — including academic, disciplinary, hiring, or legal decisions — and that you will not use a result to accuse anyone. You are solely responsible for how you interpret and act on the results.

3. Your account

You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and are responsible for activity under your account. You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • exceed the rate limits, or script/automate the service to get around them;
  • submit content you have no right to submit, or anything unlawful or infringing;
  • attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the service;
  • resell or redistribute the service or results without our written permission.

5. Your content

You keep all rights to the text you submit. You grant us only the limited permission needed to process it and return a result (and, for signed-in users, to store it for your history until you delete it). See the Privacy Policy.

6. Plans & billing

ScanForAI offers a free tier and may offer paid plans with higher limits and extra features. Paid plans are billed through our payment provider on the terms shown at checkout. Limits and features may change as the service evolves.

7. No warranty

The service is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ScanForAI is not liable for any indirect or consequential damages, or for any decision made in reliance on a result. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

9. Termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access that violates these terms.

10. Changes

We may update these terms; we'll revise the date above and, for material changes, notify account holders. Continued use means you accept the updated terms.

AI detection is not 100% accurate. Every result is an estimate from writing patterns and can be wrong both ways. Never use it as the sole basis for a decision about a person, and never to accuse.
