Veridicta

Terms of Service

Last updated: June 15, 2026

These terms govern your use of Veridicta. The most important thing to understand is what a Veridicta result is - and what it is not.

Veridicta provides evidence for human review - not legal advice, and not a guarantee. A verification result and certificate attest only to mechanical facts: whether a citation resolved to a real record in the databases searched, and whether a quoted passage was located in its cited source. They do not certify that your document is accurate, complete, sufficient, or fit for any purpose. Human review is required before you rely on a result.

What the service does

Veridicta checks the citations and quotations in a document against public bibliographic databases (Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv) and, for legal citations, case-law search, and reports what it could and could not verify. It is a verification tool, not an AI-detection tool.

What a certificate means - and doesn't

A Source-Verification Certificate is a tamper-evident record of a mechanical check performed at a point in time. It is not“court-ready” or “regulator-ready,” it is not legal advice, and it does not constitute or substitute for professional judgment. Databases are incomplete: books, grey literature, and paywalled or unpublished works may legitimately be absent, so an “unverified” result is a prompt to review, never proof of fabrication.

Acceptable use

Use Veridicta only on documents you have the right to submit. Do not use it to harass, defame, or make adverse decisions about a person on the basis of a result without independent human review. You are responsible for the conclusions you draw from a result.

No warranty; limitation of liability

The service is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Veridicta is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any decision made in reliance on a result without independent human review.

Privacy

Our handling of your documents - including that we do not train on them - is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Changes & contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above. Questions: legal@veridicta.app.
