Text you submit for AI grading or analysis (such as rebuttal attempts) remains yours; by submitting it, you grant Cognitly a license to process it solely to provide the feature you're using.

6. Disclaimer

Cognitly is an educational tool designed to build argument literacy and critical thinking skills. It is not professional legal, debate coaching, or psychological advice, and should not be relied upon as such.

7. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may stop using the App and request account deletion at any time.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cognitly LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
