Terms of service

Last updated: 2026-05-20.

The service

Council ("we", "us") convenes a panel of AI models to deliberate on your question, optionally grounded in your own Ounie brains, and synthesizes a verdict. You ("you", "the customer") pay per model seat at the rate published on our pricing page.

Acceptable use

You may only ground councils in brains your Ounie account can access. You will not attempt to discover endpoints we haven't documented or bypass rate limits. Generated verdicts inherit whatever rights you hold in the underlying brain content.

Account & billing

There is no subscription for this product. Usage is billed in Ounie credits from your shared Ounie wallet — a per-seat price reserved when a council starts and settled on the models that actually deliberate. Credits are purchased and managed on ounie.com; your data and prior outputs remain accessible regardless of your credit balance.

Failed payment

If your Ounie wallet runs out of credits, no new jobs can start, but your existing data stays accessible and buying credits restores full functionality. We do not delete user data because of an empty wallet.

Refunds

Failed models are refunded automatically (the credit reservation is reversed), and you are never charged for models that didn't deliberate; if too few respond to form a quorum, nothing is charged. For anything else, open a support ticket.

Service availability

We target 99.5% monthly uptime for the API and dashboard. Verdict quality depends on the models and, when used, what your brain contains; grounded councils cite only your sources and never invent citations.

Liability

Our liability is capped at the amount you paid us in the prior 12 months. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Termination

Either party can terminate at any time. You retain access to data you've already paid for. We may suspend accounts for material violations of these terms with notice.
