Respectify Terms of Service
Welcome to Respectify. These terms explain how you’re allowed to use our service. By using Respectify, you agree to these terms.
What We Do
Respectify helps website owners keep their comment sections civil. We use AI to filter out spam, hate speech, low-effort nonsense, and troll behavior. The goal is to make the internet suck a little less.
Free Tier Rules
We offer a free tier, but it’s meant for non-commercial use only.
If you’re:
- Selling a product or service,
- Charging people to access your site or content, or
- Running ads and making revenue in any way,
then you must be on a paid plan.
We trust you to self-identify, but we reserve the right to review and reclassify your account if we think you’re using Respectify commercially.
Usage Limits
Free tier accounts are limited to a certain number of comments processed per month. If you go over that, we may pause moderation or ask you to upgrade.
Account Responsibility
You’re responsible for keeping your account login credentials safe. Anything that happens under your account is your responsibility—even if someone else did it.
Fair Use
If we detect behavior that abuses our systems—like trying to flood us with fake comments or use automated tools to game our moderation—we may throttle, limit, or shut down your access. Use it like a normal person.
Termination
We can suspend or terminate your account if you break these terms, abuse the service, or try to sneak around the rules. Same goes for using the free tier when you should be on a paid plan.
Service Availability & Changes
We’ll do our best to keep Respectify running smoothly, but we may update, change, or remove features at any time.
Paid Plans and Renewals
Paid plans renew automatically unless you cancel before the end of your billing cycle. You can cancel anytime through your account settings.
API Use
If you use our API, don’t abuse it. Don’t hammer our servers, don’t try to reverse-engineer our moderation decisions, and don’t use it in ways we didn’t intend. We reserve the right to limit or suspend API access if needed.
Your Data
We don’t collect personal data. We do keep the comments we moderate and the evaluations we make on them (e.g., “this is spam,” “this is fine”). But we don’t know who wrote what, and we don’t want to.
No Guarantees
We try to keep Respectify running smoothly, but:
- We don’t guarantee uptime.
- We’re not responsible if our service misses something awful or blocks something nice.
- You use Respectify as-is and at your own risk.
Liability
Respectify, Inc. is not liable for any damages, losses, or issues that come from using (or not being able to use) our service. You agree not to sue us for anything related to Respectify.
Legal Stuff
Respectify, Inc. is a Delaware C-Corp. If there’s a legal dispute, it’ll be handled in Delaware under Delaware law.
Changes to These Terms
We might update these terms from time to time. If we do, we’ll post the new version on our website. If you keep using Respectify after that, it means you accept the new terms.
