Terms of Service

DRAFT — for legal review before launch. Last updated: 2026-08-17.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of ScendBeacon ("the Service"), an AI search-visibility platform operated by ScendBeacon. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

ScendBeacon analyzes websites for AI search-engine visibility. It scans content you point it at, measures how AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini) cite your business, identifies content gaps against real search results, and produces prioritized recommendations. Results are estimates based on available data and may change as AI platforms evolve.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 18 years old and have the authority to bind the business you represent. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Subscription & Billing

Paid plans (currently the Pro plan at $69/month) are billed through our payment processor. You authorize recurring charges until you cancel. You may cancel at any time from the Billing page; access continues until the end of the current billing period. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law. We may change pricing with reasonable notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Scan websites you do not own or lack permission to analyze;
  • Resell, sublicense, or scrape the Service;
  • Attempt to bypass rate limits, access controls, or subscription limits;
  • Use the Service to violate any law or infringe third-party rights;
  • Interfere with the Service's operation or security.

6. Your Content & Data

You retain ownership of your website content and the data you provide. You grant us a limited license to process that data to deliver the Service (e.g., crawling pages you submit, querying search and AI APIs). See the Privacy Policy for how we handle data.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties (payment processing, hosting, search and AI APIs). We are not responsible for their availability or terms. AI-generated content and recommendations may contain inaccuracies; you are responsible for reviewing them before acting.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee specific visibility results, rankings, or citation outcomes.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScendBeacon shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for amounts exceeding the fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms, fraud, or non-payment, with or without notice. Upon termination, your access ends and your data may be deleted.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated by email or in-app notice. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
