SCRUBLAYER SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCRUBLAYER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

6. No Professional Advice
ScrubLayer analysis does not constitute legal, medical, financial, academic, journalistic, or professional advice of any kind. Results should never be relied upon as the sole basis for any professional, academic, business, or personal decision. Always consult qualified professionals.
7. Academic Integrity Disclaimer
ScrubLayer reports are analytical tools only. They should NOT be the sole basis for academic integrity decisions, disciplinary actions, grade changes, or accusations of misconduct. AI detection technology is imperfect and produces false positives. Educators and institutions assume full and sole responsibility for how they use ScrubLayer results. ScrubLayer is not liable for any academic, professional, or personal consequences arising from decisions based on its analysis.
Before taking any action against a student based on AI detection results, institutions must conduct an independent investigation, give the student an opportunity to respond, and follow all applicable institutional policies and applicable law including FERPA.
8. AI Detection Limitations
AI content detection is an evolving technology with known limitations. ScrubLayer detection algorithms may:
- Produce false positives — flagging human-written content as AI-generated.
- Produce false negatives — failing to detect AI-generated content.
- Vary in accuracy based on content type, length, and writing style.
No AI detector is 100% accurate. Results should be treated as one data point among many, not as definitive proof of AI authorship or human authorship. You expressly agree not to use ScrubLayer AI detection results as standalone evidence in any legal, academic, or employment proceeding.
9. Content You Submit
You retain full ownership of content you submit. By submitting content you grant ScrubLayer a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process it solely to provide the service. ScrubLayer will not sell, share, or publish your submitted content. ScrubLayer may use anonymized aggregated statistical data to improve the service.
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the content and that doing so does not violate any applicable law or third-party rights.
10. Payment Terms
