Terms ofservice.

These terms are between you and AskOSINT ("we"). They apply when you start or pay for a research. Our acceptable use policy is part of them, and our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data.

You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract. If you order for an organisation, you confirm that you may bind it.

You describe a person or company and choose your purpose. After payment we research public and other available sources, show you the social profiles that may belong to the subject so you can accept or reject each one, and write one report when you ask for it. Every finding links to its source.

Research depends on what is publicly available and on outside services at the time. We do not promise any particular finding, amount of information or completion time.

There is no account. Your research is reached only through its private link. We cannot send it again if it is lost, and anyone who has it can open the research. Keeping it safe is your responsibility.

The link stays open until 14 days after your report is generated. If no report has been generated within 30 days of payment, it closes then. Once it has closed it no longer opens.

Each research is a service sold at a fixed price, which you choose from the amounts offered and see before you pay. One payment buys one research service. It is paid once, by a payment method offered on the payment screen (at present, a US-dollar stablecoin sent from your own crypto wallet), and your research begins immediately after the payment is confirmed.

The payment covers a fixed-price research service that uses paid search providers, data services, AI processing and our infrastructure. The price you choose sets the scope and depth of the research: how many sources are searched, how far leads are followed and how detailed the report can be. You are buying a research service, not prepaid credits or a balance.

We do not offer voluntary refunds once research has started, because paid searches, data services and AI processing are used from the moment it starts. This does not affect any cancellation or refund right you have under the consumer law that applies to you.

Before you pay, you tick a box asking us to start your research immediately after your payment is confirmed. By paying, you accept these terms and our privacy policy. Your research then starts on its own once the payment is confirmed. We record what you accepted, the version shown to you and when.

Each research includes one report. You generate it yourself on the research page, once the research is complete or paused and within 30 days of payment; it is never generated on its own. Once it has been generated it is final: it is not rewritten, and no further report can be generated for the same research. An attempt that fails does not count, and you can try again.

You can view and download your report through your private link until the link closes, 14 days after the report is generated.

Except where the law requires it, payments are not refunded (see Price and payment). In particular, we do not give a refund because research found little public information about the subject or because the findings were not what you hoped for: research depends on what is publicly available, and we do not promise any particular finding.

Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the consumer law that applies to you, including any right to cancel or to a refund or other remedy where the service is not provided as described.

You declare at intake that you have a lawful reason for the research, that it is the purpose you chose, and that you will use the results only for it. That declaration must be true.

You are responsible for how you use a report, including following any law that applies to your decision, such as employment, data protection or anti-discrimination law. You must also have the right to give us any information or document you submit.

A report gathers open-source information and AI-written analysis. It can be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and a person can be confused with someone of the same name. Confidence levels are estimates. Check a finding at its source before you rely on it.

A report is not legal, financial or employment advice, and it is not a certified background check or a substitute for one where the law requires it.

We may refuse a research before payment if our research policy does not allow it. We may stop a research, or remove access to it, if we reasonably believe these terms or the acceptable use policy have been broken, or if the law requires us to.

Your private link stays open until 14 days after your report is generated, or until 30 days after payment if no report has been generated by then. After that you can no longer open the research or its report, so download your report before then if you need to keep it.

Closing the link ends your access only. We keep the research and its report in our internal records as our privacy policy describes.

We keep all rights in the service. You may use your report for the purpose you declared and share it with those who need it for that purpose. Sources cited in a report remain the property of their owners.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as for fraud or for death or injury caused by negligence.

Apart from that, we are not liable for decisions you make using a report, or for indirect or consequential loss.

You are responsible for claims against us that result from your breach of these terms or of the acceptable use policy.

If you are a consumer you keep the protections of the law where you live.

We may change these terms and will update the date at the top of this page. The version in force when you started a research applies to it.
