You agree not to:

4. Purchased Reports

The Service offers detailed analysis reports for individual podcasts, available for purchase. All purchases are final. Due to the digital nature of the reports, refunds are not available once a report has been generated and delivered. Reports are licensed for your personal or internal business use only.

Report content, including pattern scores, statistical benchmarks, and analysis, is generated algorithmically based on publicly available data and should be considered informational, not definitive. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any individual analysis.

5. Data and Analysis Disclaimer

PROOF analyzes publicly available podcast review data from Apple Podcasts. Our analysis is based on statistical patterns and heuristics. Results are provided "as-is" for informational purposes only and should not be construed as:

• Definitive proof of fraudulent or inauthentic review activity
• An accusation against any podcast, creator, or reviewer
• Legal advice or evidence suitable for legal proceedings
• An endorsement or certification of any podcast's authenticity

Pattern scores reflect statistical likelihood relative to benchmark distributions. Elevated scores indicate deviation from typical patterns but do not confirm manipulation. Users are responsible for interpreting results in context.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, analysis methodologies, brand assets, and content, is owned by PROOF and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The PROOF name, logo, and mark are our trademarks. You may not use our trademarks without prior written consent.
