Terms of Use

Last updated: August 2026

What this tool is

Claim Classifier is an AI-powered tool that gives a plain-language assessment of a claim you submit — whether it appears to be factual, speculative, opinion, or shows signs of deception — along with supporting reasoning and sources where available.

What it isn't

Classifications are generated automatically by an AI model and can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. This tool is not professional fact-checking, journalism, legal advice, financial advice, or medical advice, and shouldn't be treated as a final or authoritative verdict — especially for claims where getting it wrong would have real consequences. Always use your own judgment and, where it matters, verify independently.

No warranty

The service is provided "as is," without any warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do our best to make the reasoning transparent and sourced, but we cannot guarantee every classification is correct.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or reliance on its output, including decisions made based on a classification later found to be incorrect.

Acceptable use

Please don't use this tool to generate or spread harassment, defamation, or spam. We reserve the right to limit access (including rate limits), and to decline, moderate, or remove any content from the public archive at our discretion — including claims that name real people, if we judge publication inappropriate.

The public archive

Some submitted claims may be selected and published as permanent, public pages (see our Privacy Policy for details on this process). Submitting a claim does not guarantee it will be published, and published entries may be edited or removed at our discretion.

Support / donations

Any payment made through the support links on this site is a voluntary contribution to help cover running costs, not a purchase of a product or service, and is non-refundable except as required by law. Donating does not create any account, subscription, or entitlement beyond what is explicitly stated on the site at the time.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
