Terms & Privacy

FoundryVis is a web application that runs queries against public AI APIs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, etc.) on your behalf and reports whether your domain or brand is mentioned in the responses. We call this “sampling.” It is not citation tracking. There is no live citation feed for AI search; this product samples public APIs the same way every other tool in this category does.

The service is operated by Foundry CRO (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “FoundryVis”). By creating an account, signing in, or using the service, you agree to these Terms of Service.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into contracts where you live. If you’re using FoundryVis on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company to these terms.

One account per person. Don’t share credentials. You’re responsible for activity under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, log out and tell us.

FoundryVis is paid on a credit basis. You deposit money via Stripe; we retain 15% as a platform fee and credit the remainder to your account. Each API call you make is billed against your credit balance at our actual provider cost. Minimum deposit is $10.

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable. Once you complete a deposit, the platform fee is retained and the credit balance is yours to use. We do not refund unused credits, partial credits, or credits in any other circumstance — including account closure, dissatisfaction with results, or changes to model availability or pricing. You acknowledge this when you complete a deposit.

If a model you used becomes unavailable on the underlying AI Gateway, we don’t owe you a refund — your credits remain valid for the other models we offer.

We may change credit pricing, model selection, or platform fee at any time with notice on this page or via email. Existing credits keep their cash-equivalent spend value at the time of purchase.

Every reasonable effort is made to ensure the data we surface is accurate, but you acknowledge:

• AI model outputs are non-deterministic — the same query can return different answers on different runs.
• Our mention/citation detection is heuristic — false positives and false negatives occur.
• Sentiment classification is performed by a separate AI model and is itself approximate.
• Gap analyses are AI-generated diagnoses based on scraped public content; they are recommendations, not guaranteed outcomes.
• We do not warrant that your domain will or will not be cited in any AI response, today or in the future.

Use the data as a directional signal for your strategy, not as a binding metric.

You agree not to:

• Automate access beyond the user-facing interface — no scripts, bots, scrapers, headless browsers, or programmatic API consumption outside our documented application flow.
• Tamper with prompts.The query interface is for natural-language questions about your category. Do not attempt prompt injection, jailbreak attacks, system-prompt extraction, or any other manipulation aimed at altering how the underlying LLMs respond. This includes embedding instructions that would have the AI behave deceptively, return malicious output, or generate content that violates the underlying provider’s policies (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Perplexity).
• Bypass or attempt to bypass rate limits, credit holds, the deposit fee, or any other system control.
• Reverse engineer the service, our prompts, our scoring logic, or our infrastructure for the purpose of building a competing tool.
• Resell or redistributeraw API outputs, gap reports, or aggregated FoundryVis data as your own product. Use of outputs internally or in client deliverables is fine; reselling at scale isn’t.
• Submit illegal content — including but not limited to queries containing CSAM, real-world threats, content that infringes intellectual property, or content unlawful in your jurisdiction.
• Use FoundryVis to harass a competitor, generate defamatory content about real people or businesses, or fabricate reports to mislead third parties.
• Share, lease, or sublicense your account.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules and retain any unspent credits as forfeit. Egregious violations (security attacks, illegal content) may be reported to law enforcement.

You retain ownership of the queries and brand information you provide. You grant us a limited license to use this data to operate the service — running your queries through AI APIs, storing results, and producing reports for you. We do not use your queries to train AI models. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and Perplexity each have their own data handling policies for the API calls we route through them; the AI Gateway routing layer (Vercel) sets these to opt-out-of-training where supported.

FoundryVis (the software, design, prompts, brand, and infrastructure) is owned by Foundry CRO. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service per these terms. No transfer of ownership is implied.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.”We disclaim all warranties to the extent allowed by law, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Our maximum aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to FoundryVis is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, or loss of data.

You can stop using FoundryVis at any time. We can suspend or close your account for violation of these terms, fraud, abuse, or non-payment. On termination, your data is deleted within 30 days (see Privacy below). Unspent credits at the time of voluntary closure are forfeited; see Section 4.

We may update these terms periodically. We’ll post the new version here with an updated “Last updated” date and, for material changes, email registered users at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after the effective date is your acceptance.

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Foundry CRO is registered. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, unless mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country provide otherwise.
