These Terms of Service govern your use of clasr.ai and the Clasr manuscript signal reading Service. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an institution, you confirm you have the authority to bind that institution.
1. The Service
Clasr ("Clasr," "we," or "us") provides an automated manuscript signal reading service (the "Service") that analyzes academic manuscripts and produces structured reports describing observable patterns in the text. The Service does not produce scores, verdicts, acceptance predictions, or revision instructions. It surfaces signals; you decide how to act on them.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
3. Accounts
3.1 Account Registration
To use most features of the Service, you must create an account with accurate, current information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3.2 Institutional Accounts
Where an institution (such as a university, department, or research lab) maintains an Enterprise plan, individual users within that institution access the Service under both these Terms and any separate institutional agreement between Clasr and the institution. In the event of a conflict, the institutional agreement governs as between Clasr and the institution.
4. Plans, Billing, and Payment
4.1 Plans
Clasr offers Trial Pack, Researcher, Professional, and Enterprise plans, as described on our Pricing and Enterprise pages. Plan features, reading allowances, and prices are as published at the time of purchase and may be updated from time to time, with changes applying to future billing cycles and not retroactively to a period you have already paid for.
4.2 Payment Processing
Paid checkout is not currently enabled. When payments become available, transactions will be processed by a third-party payment provider identified at checkout. Applicable payment, invoicing, tax, cancellation, and buyer terms will be shown before purchase.
4.3 Payment Availability
Payment availability may vary by country and provider. Available payment methods and any geographic restrictions will be shown before purchase. Institutions that need an Enterprise arrangement can contact hello@clasr.ai.
4.4 Subscription Renewal
Monthly and annual subscription plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to the Service until that date.
4.5 Refunds
The Trial Pack is non-refundable once the corresponding manuscript reading has been generated, but may be credited in full toward an upgrade to a subscription plan within 30 days of purchase, as described at clasr.ai/pricing. Subscription payments are non-refundable for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law.
4.6 Price Changes
We may change plan prices from time to time. For existing subscribers, a price change will not take effect until your next renewal, and we will provide reasonable advance notice before a price increase applies to you.
5. Manuscript Submissions
5.1 Your Content
You retain all ownership rights in any manuscript you submit to the Service ("Your Content"). By submitting Your Content, you grant Clasr a limited license to process it solely for the purpose of generating your signal report, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5.2 Your Responsibility
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to submit Your Content to the Service, including the necessary rights and lawful basis to include any personal data of co-authors or other individuals named in the manuscript. You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of Your Content.
5.3 No Training Use
Clasr does not use Your Content to train any artificial intelligence model, whether operated by Clasr or by any third party we work with.
6. Acceptable Use
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which describes content and conduct that is not permitted on the Service. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate the Acceptable Use Policy.
7. Intellectual Property
7.1 Clasr's Intellectual Property
The Service, including its underlying technology, signal taxonomy, report structures, and all associated software, is the property of Clasr or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to Clasr's intellectual property other than the limited right to use the Service as described herein.
7.2 Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, we may use that feedback without any obligation to you.
8. Disclaimers
Clasr surfaces observable signals based on automated analysis of submitted text. Clasr does not predict editorial outcomes, does not guarantee that addressing a signal will improve a manuscript's chances of acceptance, and is not a substitute for human academic judgment, peer review, advisor feedback, or professional editorial advice. You are solely responsible for decisions you make based on a Clasr report.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLASR'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO CLASR IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. CLASR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.
10. Termination
10.1 Termination by You
You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. If you have an active subscription, see Section 4.4 regarding cancellation.
10.2 Termination by Clasr
We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy, including after providing reasonable notice and opportunity to cure where the breach is capable of being cured. We may also terminate the Service generally, or your access to it, with reasonable advance notice, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the Service, other users, or Clasr from harm.
10.3 Effect of Termination
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination, including Sections 7, 8, 9, and 12, will survive.
11. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify or discontinue features of the Service from time to time. We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Service, legal requirements, or our business practices. We will post the updated Terms at clasr.ai/legal with a revised effective date, and, for material changes, will provide additional notice such as an email to registered users. Continued use of the Service after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Bursa, Türkiye, except where applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction grants you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, in which case that right is not affected by this Section.
13. General Provisions
13.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and, where applicable, your institutional agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Clasr regarding the Service.
13.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
13.3 No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce that provision later.
13.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
