Terms & Conditions

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Hadithi ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service. The Service is operated by Hadithi ("we," "us," or "our").

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Hadithi. They apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service, including users who join the waitlist before the Service is generally available.

We may also have supplemental terms or policies for specific features. Where supplemental terms conflict with these Terms, the supplemental terms govern for that feature.

2. Description of Service

Hadithi is an AI-powered research and writing assistant for content creators. The Service helps users:

• Explore topics through AI-driven research, surfacing quotes, data, angles, and insights
• Analyze writing samples to build a personalized voice profile
• Generate drafts for platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and blogs that match their writing voice
• Edit, refine, and rewrite content with AI assistance
• Manage a content publishing cadence

The Service relies on third-party AI models to process content. The availability, quality, and speed of AI features depend on these third-party providers and may vary.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using Hadithi, you represent and warrant that you:

• Are at least 18 years of age
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
• Are not prohibited from using the Service under any applicable law
• Will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the organization.

4. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account using email registration or through third-party OAuth providers (Google, LinkedIn). When creating an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration

• Maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials and not share them with any third party
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe have been compromised or are being used in violation of these Terms.

You may have only one active account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions or abuse the Service is prohibited.

This license terminates when you delete your User Content or your account, except where your content has been shared with others who have not deleted it, or where retention is required by law.

Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it. You represent and warrant that:

• You own or have the necessary rights and permissions to submit your User Content

6. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate research summaries, voice analyses, writing suggestions, and draft content ("AI Output"). You acknowledge and agree that:

• No guarantee of accuracy. AI Output may contain factual errors, inaccuracies, biases, or hallucinated information. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing all AI Output before publishing or relying on it.
• No professional advice. AI Output does not constitute legal, medical, financial, or other professional advice. Do not rely on AI Output as a substitute for professional consultation.
• Ownership of output. Subject to these Terms and any applicable third-party AI provider terms, you may use, modify, and publish AI Output generated through your use of the Service. However, identical or substantially similar output may be generated for other users.
• Platform compliance. You are responsible for ensuring that any content you publish (whether AI-generated or human-written) complies with the terms of service and content policies of the platform on which you publish it.
• Disclosure. Certain jurisdictions or platforms may require disclosure that content was created with AI assistance. You are responsible for complying with any applicable disclosure requirements.
