The Superficial app provides tools to extract and verify factual claims from AI-generated or user-submitted text. You may use the App only in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws.

You may use outputs (verified claims, summaries, etc.) for personal or professional use but not as part of an AI product, dataset, or training corpus without permission.
