Terms of use for forum members

These terms set out the rules for using the forum at forum.aichecker.tech. By reading or posting on the forum, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the forum. The forum is run by the aichecker.tech team.

Using the forum

You may read the forum freely. To post, you need an account and a working email address. Members sign in by email link, so you are responsible for keeping access to that email account secure. You must be old enough to enter into these terms where you live. Use the forum for its purpose, which is questions and answers about detector scores, flagged work, reports, appeals and related policy. Do not use it to break the law, to disrupt the service, to collect member information, or to try to get around its limits and protections. The posting guidelines form part of these terms.

What you agree to when you post

You are responsible for what you post. When you post, you confirm that you have the right to share it, that it does not break the law, and that it follows the posting guidelines. Do not post other people's private information, student work or names, work you do not have permission to share, or anything designed to deceive, harass or harm. Do not accuse named people or institutions of misconduct, and do not use the forum to sell services or to ask for help evading a check or having an assignment written for you.

Licence to your content

You keep ownership of what you write. By posting, you give the forum a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, reproduce and distribute your post as part of the forum, including in search results, feeds, archives and quotations that credit the thread. The licence lets us show your post to other readers and keep it available. It does not let anyone claim to have written it. You can ask us to delete your own posts, and doing so ends the licence for them, except for copies held in backups until those are replaced.

Forum content is not legal or academic advice

Answers on the forum are general information from staff and from other members. They are not legal advice, academic advice or professional guidance of any kind, and they are not a decision about any person or piece of writing. A detector score is a probability and not proof, and nothing posted here establishes whether a particular person used or did not use a tool.

Your school, employer, publisher or exam body sets the rules that apply to you, and only they can decide a case. If you face a formal process, read the policy that applies to you, keep your records, and consider speaking to an advisor, a student union, a union representative or a qualified lawyer where that is appropriate. You are responsible for what you do with anything you read here. To the extent the law allows, the forum, its staff and its members are not liable for loss or damage that results from relying on advice given here.

Staff and conflicts of interest

The forum is run by the aichecker.tech team, which also runs a free detector and plagiarism checker. Staff are labelled, and staff answers that mention the checker say so. Mentioning the checker is not an endorsement of any decision, and we do not promise that any tool is right in a given case.

Moderation

We may edit, move, hide or remove content, and suspend or close accounts, when content or behaviour breaks these terms or the guidelines. We try to explain what we have done and to hear an appeal, but we may act without notice when a post puts someone at risk or breaks the law. We may also remove posts that are out of date or unsupported, even where they break no other rule.

Links to other sites

Posts may link to other websites, including vendor pages, institutional policies and aichecker.tech. We do not control other sites and are not responsible for their content. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the page it leads to.

The service as it stands

The forum is provided as it is. We work to keep it running and accurate, but we do not promise that it will always be available, or that every post is correct or current. We may change features, change sections, or close the forum, and where we can, we will say so in advance.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. If a change matters to how you use the forum, we will say so clearly. By continuing to use the forum after a change, you accept the updated terms.
