Plain English terms, no lawyer-bait.
These terms govern your use of gotnerfed.com. By signing in, subscribing, or using the API, you agree to them. Plain-English summary below, then the standard legal sections.
The deal
- We provide a service that catalogues AI vendor pricing and policy changes ("receipts"), publishes them with our scoring rubric, and offers paid tiers with alert delivery and API access.
- You agree not to abuse the service (no scraping at high volume, no resale of the data without licensing, no automated abuse of free-tier alert channels).
- The public receipts feed and methodology are free forever, MIT-licensed where applicable.
Subscriptions and billing
- Paid plans are billed monthly via Stripe. Prices listed at gotnerfed.com/pricing.
- You can cancel any time via Account → Billing. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period.
- Refunds: pay-as-you-go, monthly billing only. Cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal; you keep access until the end of the current billing period. No refunds for partial months.
- EU consumers: right of withdrawal applies under Article 16(m) of the Consumer Rights Directive. Standard 14 days.
- If your payment method fails, we will retry for 14 days then downgrade your account to the free tier. No data loss; you can re-subscribe any time.
Acceptable use
You may not:
- Scrape the public site at a rate that materially burdens our infrastructure (use the API instead, with proper auth and rate-limit respect).
- Resell raw receipt data to third parties without an explicit data-licensing agreement.
- Impersonate gotnerfed or any of our staff (we currently have no staff besides the founder).
- Abuse alert delivery channels (e.g. setting up dozens of fake accounts to mass-deliver alerts to a target).
- Submit false receipts to mislead other users.
Service availability
We target 99.5% uptime on the public site and 99.9% on paid API endpoints, but we provide no formal SLA on free or Personal tiers. Teams, API, and Enterprise tiers include a documented SLA — see your tier's pricing page for specifics. We will give 7+ days advance notice of any planned material change to free-tier features.
Receipts and AI Jury verdicts
Our receipts are best-effort analyses based on publicly observable vendor changes. The Nerf Score and AI Jury verdicts are our editorial opinion, supported by sources we link inline. We are not lawyers, financial advisors, or representatives of any vendor we track. Do not make purchasing or compliance decisions solely on our content — verify with the vendor and your own counsel.
If you believe a specific receipt is factually wrong, email corrections@gotnerfed.com with your specific objection and supporting evidence. We respond in the open.
Open-source license
The gotnerfed source code is MIT-licensed at github.com/virtualunc/gotnerfed. You may self-host the entire stack. Paid tiers include managed infrastructure, hosted webhooks, the Forecaster, and the firehose API; the open-source self-host gets you the public site + scanner + bot + AI Jury.
Liability
gotnerfed is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding any claim. This does not apply to liability that cannot be excluded under your local consumer protection law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. EU consumers retain rights under their local law.
Changes to terms
We may update these terms. Material changes (anything affecting pricing, refund policy, or your rights) get 14 days advance notice via the weekly digest and a banner on the site. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
