Is This BS is an AI-powered critical thinking tool created in collaboration with Professor Dave Explains. The App lets you submit claims for AI analysis, participate in daily challenges, track your progress with streaks and XP, and explore a library of common logical fallacies.AI Analysis: Claims you submit are analyzed by artificial intelligence to evaluate their accuracy and identify logical fallacies. AI-generated analysis is for educational and entertainment purposes only, may contain errors or miss important nuance, and is not professional fact-checking, scientific advice, journalism, legal advice, or medical guidance. Verify important claims through authoritative sources and qualified professionals. You are responsible for how you use and share results.
Claim Caching: To improve performance, identical claims may return cached results. Claim text may be hashed and stored so repeated analyses of the same claim can be served faster, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Apple App Store: If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, your license to the App is governed by Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple Standard EULA"). These Terms govern BBF accounts, subscriptions, server-side services, content, and conduct. They supplement the Apple Standard EULA but do not amend, replace, or supersede it. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA concerning the App license, warranties, External Services, termination, damages exclusions, or limitation of liability, the Apple Standard EULA controls. Nothing in these Terms increases BBF’s obligations or liability under the Apple Standard EULA.Google Play and any other distribution platform's applicable terms also apply. Third-party services have their own terms and privacy practices. BBF is not responsible for services BBF does not control.6. User Content
Your claims: You retain ownership of the original claim text you submit. You grant BBF a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, cache, transmit, process through service providers, and display your claims and analysis results only as reasonably needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the App for you.Content standards: Do not submit content that is illegal, harassing, defamatory, infringing, or contains sensitive personal information unrelated to the analysis.Privacy limits: BBF does not sell identifiable claim text, use an individual claim in marketing without consent, or share a claim with other users except at your direction.

For an App distributed through another platform, BBF grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use the App as permitted by these Terms and that platform's rules. No other rights are granted.10. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the App. Where practical, we will give reasonable notice.

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend and indemnify BBF and its directors, officers, employees, and partners from third-party claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or content you submit. This does not require you to indemnify anyone for their own negligence or unlawful conduct.12. Limitation of Liability

This is one combined aggregate limit, not a separate limit under each agreement, claim, or theory. Nothing in these Terms increases or supplements the liability available under the Apple Standard EULA.Other platforms and services: For claims unrelated to an Apple-distributed App, BBF’s total aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid for the applicable service during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.These exclusions do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence where applicable.

The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies as a court.Class and jury waiver: You and BBF waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or participate in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action.
