Flownet is in private beta. It is free, it is unfinished, and it will change. These terms are the agreement between you and Flownet. By creating an account or using the site, you agree to them.
1. Who can use Flownet
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Accounts are by invitation, and each account is for one person.
- Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done through your account.
2. Your content stays yours
You own what you post. Flownet does not claim ownership of it.
To run the service, you give Flownet permission to store, copy, format and display the records you publish and your public profile, and to make them available to search engines. This permission is worldwide, free of charge and not exclusive, and it is only for operating and showing Flownet. It ends when you unpublish or delete the content, apart from backups we keep for a limited time and copies that other people or services made while it was public.
The text you paste to create a draft is private. We use it only to make your draft and to show it back to you.
AI assistants. Only if you turn on "AI search and citation" do we tell AI search crawlers that they may read and cite your pages, and include your records in our API. We do not give anyone permission to train AI models on your content, and we ask AI training crawlers to stay away from every creator page. These signals are requests made through robots.txt. Reputable crawlers follow them, but we cannot force anyone to.
3. What you promise about your records
- The work is yours, or you have the right to post it.
- Every claim you approve is true as far as you know. Claims marked "First-hand test" describe your own experience, and claims marked "Cited source" link to where they come from.
- Your disclosure label is accurate. If a brand paid you, sent you the product for free, or pays you a commission, you say so, and you follow the advertising and endorsement rules that apply to you.
AI drafts. A draft is written by an AI model from your text, and it can be wrong. Nothing is published until you have checked it. Once you publish a record, it is your statement and your responsibility.
4. What is not allowed
- Posting anything illegal, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
- Posting other people's private information.
- Pretending to be someone else, or hiding a paid relationship with a brand.
- Spam, fake reviews, or records made to mislead people or AI systems.
- Trying to break into the service, overload it, or get around its limits.
5. Ranking
Flownet does not sell placement. Search results are ranked by how well they match the question, how much first-hand evidence a record has, and how recent it is. Nobody can pay to change a record or where it appears.
6. AI visibility checks
The AI visibility page shows how an AI model answered a question at one moment. The answers come from a third party, they vary from day to day, and they can differ from what you see in that company's own app. They are information, not a promise that any assistant will cite you.
7. Removing content and closing accounts
You can unpublish or delete any of your records at any time, and you can delete your whole account in Settings.
We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these terms or the law, or that puts other people at risk. When we reasonably can, we will tell you why.
If you believe something on Flownet infringes your copyright, tell us and we will look into it.
8. The service is provided as it is
Flownet is a beta. It may be interrupted, changed or shut down, and data can be lost. Keep your own copies of your work. To the extent the law allows, Flownet is provided without warranties of any kind.
9. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, Flownet is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data, and its total liability to you for anything connected with the service is limited to 100 US dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Flownet develops. The date at the top shows the current version. If a change matters to you, we will tell you on the site before it takes effect. If you keep using Flownet after that, you accept the new terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA, and disputes go to the courts located there. If you are a consumer, this does not take away rights your local law gives you.
12. Contact
Flownet is in private beta, so for now please contact the person who invited you.
