Terms

Terms of service

These terms govern access to the Hypotheses website and the Hypotheses plugin for ChatGPT and Codex.

Effective August 9, 2026

Using Hypotheses

You may use Hypotheses to explore, document, test, and review ideas and decisions. You must provide accurate account information, safeguard your account, and use the service lawfully. You may not probe, disrupt, overload, reverse engineer, or bypass access controls, or use the service to infringe rights, distribute malware, harass others, or publish unlawful content.

Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit. You grant Hypotheses a limited license to host, process, reproduce, and display that content only as needed to provide and improve the service. You are responsible for having the rights and permissions required to submit content. Marking a hypothesis public authorizes us to make it available through the website and public plugin tools.

AI-assisted output

AI-generated summaries and suggestions may be incomplete or incorrect. Hypotheses is a decision-support tool, not a substitute for professional, legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical judgment. Review important evidence and decisions before acting on them.

Availability and changes

The service may change, experience interruptions, or discontinue features. We may suspend access to protect users, enforce these terms, or comply with law. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate material changes that affect active users.

Disclaimers and liability

Hypotheses is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim implied warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or lost-profit damages arising from use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits rights or liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Questions

Questions about these terms, copyright, or account access can be submitted through the public support page. These terms are governed by applicable law without overriding mandatory consumer protections in your jurisdiction.
