Terms of Service

Eligibility — 18+

Yentl is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. By using Yentl, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, do not use Yentl. This restriction exists because Yentl processes audio that may contain sensitive content, and because Yentl's AI verdicts require adult judgment to interpret appropriately.

Methodology

Yentl's verdict process is documented at /methodology. The methodology is public and versioned. Prompt and model changes are logged in the Changelog.

No warranty — AI may be wrong

Yentl is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Yentl does not warrant that:

• Verdicts are accurate, complete, or current.
• Sources cited are authoritative or unbiased.
• The service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
• AI output is free from hallucinations, omissions, or errors.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Yentl's liability for any claim arising from use of the service is limited to the amount you paid for the service in the preceding 12 months (which, for a free service, is $0).

User obligations

• Lawful use. You agree to use Yentl only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
• Recording consent. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws on recording consent in your jurisdiction. In two-party consent states and countries, you must obtain consent from all parties before recording.
• No automated abuse. You may not use Yentl via automated scripts, bots, or scrapers. You may not attempt to overload, probe, or circumvent any security or rate-limiting measures.
• No circumvention. You may not attempt to bypass the scope and safety policy or extract refused verdicts by rephrasing prohibited content.
• No redistribution of verdicts as authoritative. AI-generated verdicts from Yentl must not be presented as definitive fact-checks by journalists, broadcasters, or other publishers without independent verification.

Choice of law & anti-SLAPP

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. California is chosen in part because of its strong anti-SLAPP statute (Code of Civil Procedure § 425.16), which provides meaningful protection against strategic lawsuits aimed at silencing public-interest speech and fact-checking activity.

Dispute resolution

Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Yentl will be resolved through binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), except that either party may seek injunctive relief in court. Class action waivers apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Changes to these Terms

Yentl may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the Changelog. Continued use of Yentl after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
