Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

1. Service Description

HallucProof is a deterministic compliance verification platform operated by Brightstead Technologies, Inc. (“Brightstead,” “we,” “us”). The Service evaluates structured data against encoded regulatory criteria using deterministic logic. There is no generative AI component in the compliance decision path.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the deterministic engine logic
  • Use the Service to process data in violation of applicable laws or regulations
  • Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent data through the Service
  • Exceed rate limits or attempt to circumvent bot protection measures
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute Service outputs without a commercial agreement

3. Intellectual Property

The HallucProof deterministic verification engine, SHA-256 audit chain architecture, and compliance decision methodology are patent pending (U.S. patent application filed). All Service software, APIs, documentation, and branding are the exclusive property of Brightstead Technologies, Inc. or its licensors.

4. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BRIGHTSTEAD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Service results do not constitute legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. While the deterministic engine applies encoded regulatory rules accurately, regulations change, and the Service may not reflect the most recent amendments at all times. Users should consult qualified professionals for decisions affecting legal rights, medical treatment, or financial obligations.

We do not guarantee completeness of regulatory coverage. The Service currently covers specific compliance domains as described on our website. Coverage is expanded over time but may not include all applicable rules for every jurisdiction.

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRIGHTSTEAD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BRIGHTSTEAD'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID BRIGHTSTEAD IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

6. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the email address associated with your account or by posting a notice on the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

7. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas.
