Thema is a language model. It can make mistakes, misinterpret questions, or produce responses that are incomplete or imprecise. Responses should be treated as a starting point for your own thinking, not as definitive academic guidance. Always verify methodology decisions with qualified supervisors or peer-reviewed sources where it matters.
You retain ownership of any documents, transcripts, or materials you upload. By uploading content, you grant Verithos a limited, temporary licence to process that content solely to provide the service to you. We do not claim ownership of your research materials.
Thema, its underlying model, and its interface are the property of Verithos. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works from any part of the service without written permission.
We aim to keep Thema available but make no guarantees of uptime. The service is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Verithos is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of Thema, including reliance on responses for academic, professional, or personal decisions.
We may update these terms as the product evolves. Continued use of Thema after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
