RISOS Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

By accessing or using RISOS, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use RISOS on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If a separate written agreement between you and RISOS applies to a service, that agreement controls to the extent of a conflict.

RISOS is the operator name used for the Services. References to “RISOS,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the operator of the RISOS service. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility and lawful use

You must be at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering a binding agreement, and not prohibited from receiving the service under applicable law. RISOS is intended for professional and business decision support and is not directed to children. You must use the Services lawfully and in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy.

3. Accounts and workspace access

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for activity performed through your account. You must provide accurate account information, protect API keys and other secrets, and promptly address suspected unauthorized access. Workspace roles and organization boundaries may limit what information or actions are available to a user.

Organization administrators may manage workspace members, permissions, integrations, and other workspace settings. RISOS may require reasonable verification before sensitive account, ownership, credential, export, or deletion actions.

4. The RISOS service

RISOS helps users research questions, organize evidence, evaluate independent signals, produce decision-support outputs, save workspace knowledge, operate monitors, and use developer interfaces. Features may depend on third-party providers, quotas, approvals, policy restrictions, data availability, or technical qualification. An unavailable capability may remain unavailable or produce partial/unknown coverage rather than be replaced by an unauthorized source.

RISOS may improve, add, limit, or discontinue features. Beta, preview, provider-gated, or experimental capabilities may be less reliable and may change or remain unavailable until required approvals or technical gates are satisfied.

5. Your content and instructions

You retain the rights you hold in content you submit to RISOS. You grant RISOS the limited rights necessary to host, process, reproduce, transform, transmit, and otherwise use that content to provide, secure, maintain, and support the service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights and authority needed to submit content and instructions to RISOS.

RISOS does not obtain ownership of your underlying content merely because the service generates a report, classification, summary, or other output from it. AI and model-assisted processing is further described in the AI Terms.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use RISOS to violate law; infringe intellectual-property, privacy, confidentiality, or other rights; distribute malware; attempt unauthorized access; bypass authentication, quotas, provider restrictions, or technical controls; harvest credentials; conduct unauthorized surveillance; misrepresent identity or authorization; interfere with the service; or use RISOS to obtain data through prohibited scraping, circumvention, or undocumented provider interfaces.

You also may not use RISOS in a way that causes RISOS or its users to violate an applicable third-party platform’s terms, developer policies, data-use rules, or access conditions.

The Acceptable Use Policy is incorporated into these Terms and provides additional operational rules.

7. Research evidence and AI-generated outputs

RISOS combines available evidence with deterministic and model-assisted processing. Research results, classifications, summaries, confidence assessments, and recommendations can be incomplete, stale, uncertain, or incorrect. A high-confidence label is not a guarantee. You are responsible for evaluating relevant evidence and professional consequences before making a material decision.

RISOS is not a substitute for legal, medical, accounting, investment, credit, employment, or other regulated professional advice, and outputs should not be treated as such.

The AI Terms supplement these Terms for model-assisted features, including provider routing, output limitations, sensitive-data restrictions, and human-review expectations.

8. Third-party services and data providers

RISOS may depend on public sources, licensed datasets, APIs, hosting, model providers, and other third-party services. Those services are governed by their own terms, policies, quotas, and availability. RISOS does not guarantee continued access to a particular provider or dataset and may disable, limit, refresh, or remove functionality when required by provider policy, security, cost controls, authorization status, or law.

9. Google API Services and YouTube

Where RISOS uses Google API Services, that use is subject to applicable Google terms and policies in addition to these Terms. RISOS requests only access needed for enabled functionality and does not use an unavailable Google capability as permission to use undocumented interfaces or prohibited alternatives.

RISOS uses the official YouTube API Services for its currently qualified base public-retrieval capability and is subject to applicable YouTube developer requirements. By using RISOS features that access YouTube API Services, you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Raw public YouTube evidence remains display-only and subject to refresh/deletion controls. Advanced YouTube analytics remain unavailable unless and until YouTube accepts the applicable analytics/derived-metrics and data-storage scope. YouTube functionality may be changed or disabled whenever compliance, quota, or authorization requires it.

10. TikTok API Services

If TikTok functionality is activated, RISOS will use only TikTok products, APIs, scopes, permissions, purposes, and geographic coverage that TikTok has approved for the applicable integration. TikTok functionality may include approved public-content discovery, trend and creator intelligence, commercial-content analysis, and related research or decision-intelligence capabilities. Availability remains subject to TikTok approval, authentication, quotas, technical restrictions, product-specific rules, and continued authorization.

Use of TikTok-connected functionality is subject to applicable TikTok terms, developer policies, data-use requirements, and approval conditions in addition to these Terms. You may not use RISOS to obtain, combine, export, redistribute, or otherwise use TikTok-derived data in a manner that violates those requirements. RISOS may restrict, remove, refresh, invalidate, or disable TikTok-derived functionality or stored results when required by TikTok policy, revocation, deletion obligations, geography, retention rules, authorization status, security, or law.

RISOS does not treat an unavailable or unapproved TikTok capability as permission to scrape TikTok, use undocumented interfaces, circumvent technical controls, or substitute a prohibited collection method.

Current approved scope clarification. RISOS may activate a TikTok capability only to the extent it has been approved and production-qualified. Approval of one TikTok product or profile does not activate another; unapproved Discovery, TikTok One, or other expansion capabilities remain fail-closed until separately approved.

11. Other source platforms

RISOS may use other approved sources and official interfaces, including X, Bluesky/AT Protocol, Wikimedia, Stack Exchange datasets, GDELT, GitHub, SEC EDGAR, public package registries, and other structured or public sources that meet the applicable source policy. Use of source data remains subject to the provider’s terms, licenses, attribution requirements, retention rules, rate limits, and other conditions. A source’s presence in RISOS does not authorize a user to export, redistribute, scrape, or repurpose its data beyond those conditions.

Some source policies intentionally restrict raw export, embeddings, model routing, long-term storage, or delivery through API/MCP. Those restrictions are part of the service contract and may be enforced technically.

12. Developer API, MCP, and credentials

Developer access may be subject to API keys, scopes, usage limits, rate limits, budget controls, and the current published contract. You may not share credentials with unauthorized parties, expose secret values in public code, evade rate limits, or use developer surfaces to recover raw source payloads or capabilities that RISOS intentionally restricts. We may rotate, revoke, or limit credentials when necessary for security or misuse prevention.

The API & MCP Developer Terms supplement these Terms for developer use.

13. Monitors and automated workflows

Monitors and other automated workflows can run on schedules or in response to conditions. External sources may change between checks, and notifications may be delayed or unavailable. You remain responsible for decisions made from automated results and for configuring thresholds appropriate to your use case.

14. RISOS intellectual property

RISOS and its software, product design, logos, trademarks, documentation, APIs, and original service content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the service under these Terms, no ownership right in RISOS intellectual property is transferred to you.

15. Feedback

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback, you permit RISOS to use that feedback to operate and improve the service without an obligation to compensate you, provided we do not claim ownership of your underlying confidential information merely because it appears in feedback.

16. Plans, credits, fees, and payment activation

RISOS may display Free, Pro, Business, credit allowances, capacity limits, monthly or annual plan pricing, and other commercial terms. Display of a paid plan does not by itself mean that a self-service payment processor is active or that a paid subscription has begun. A paid obligation begins only when an applicable checkout, order, invoice, or other purchase flow expressly creates it.

RISOS includes a Stripe-based billing integration for self-service subscription checkout and account billing management, but no card-processing or recurring-charge flow is active until RISOS configures and enables that integration. When active, Stripe may collect payment-card and payment-method information through Stripe-hosted checkout or billing surfaces; RISOS is not designed to store raw payment-card details directly.

If RISOS offers an active paid plan or paid feature, the price, billing period, usage limits, taxes, renewal terms, and any applicable refund or cancellation terms will be presented in the relevant purchase or order flow before purchase. We will not treat a feature as paid merely because a third-party source has a usage cost. Until a payment provider is activated, internal plan and entitlement machinery may exist without collecting card data or executing recurring charges.

17. Changes, suspension, and termination

RISOS is under active development. We may modify features, integrations, limits, interfaces, or provider coverage. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the service or other users, investigate abuse, comply with law or provider requirements, address nonpayment for an active paid service, or enforce these Terms.

You may stop using RISOS at any time and may use available account-deletion controls as described in our Data & Account Deletion page.

18. Privacy and business data processing

Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy. Where RISOS processes personal data on behalf of a business customer, the Data Processing Addendum may apply. The current Subprocessor List identifies third parties that may process customer personal data for RISOS in a processor role.

19. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, RISOS is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that every source, provider, integration, output, or feature will be continuously available, complete, error-free, or suitable for a particular decision. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded.

20. Limitation of responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, RISOS is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive losses arising from use of the service, reliance on an output, or failure of a third-party provider. Any limitation that applies to a paid enterprise relationship may also be addressed in the applicable order form or written agreement. These limitations do not apply where applicable law does not permit them.

These Terms do not impose an arbitrary monetary liability cap. A different liability allocation may be agreed in a separate written business agreement.

21. Governing law and disputes

Except where mandatory law requires otherwise, these Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to non-waivable rights and any separate written agreement, disputes may be brought in state or federal courts located in Oklahoma, and you and RISOS consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration, a class-action waiver, or a jury-trial waiver. Consumers and other users retain any non-waivable rights available under the laws that apply to them.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as RISOS evolves. We will update the date above and provide additional notice where required by law or where a material change reasonably requires it. Continued use after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

23. Electronic communications and general terms

You agree that account, security, service, billing, and legal notices may be provided electronically to the extent permitted by law. Marketing communications are subject to separate consent and opt-out rules and are not authorized merely by this clause.

If a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. RISOS may assign these Terms in connection with a legitimate reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or transfer of the service, subject to applicable law. You may not assign your rights or obligations except with RISOS’s consent or where applicable law provides otherwise.

These Terms, incorporated policies, and any applicable order or separate written agreement form the agreement governing the Services. A separate written agreement controls over these Terms to the extent it expressly conflicts with them; the DPA controls for covered processing of Customer Personal Data; mandatory platform rules and transfer clauses control where they legally require a different result.
