Terms and Conditions - Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit

The Terms and Conditions were last updated on May 27, 2024

1. Introduction

These Terms and conditions apply to this website and to the transactions related to our products and services. You may be bound by additional contracts related to your relationship with us or any products or services that you receive from us. If any provisions of the additional contract conflict with any provisions of these Terms, the provisions of these additional contracts will control and prevail.

2. Service Description

Discourse Analyzer Tool, is a cutting-edge, academically-focused platform designed to assist researchers, students, and professionals in the field of Discourse Analysis. Our service relies on AI-driven technology to offer comprehensive insights into a broad array of discourse analysis topics, from theoretical foundations to practical applications. Our users can choose from a variety of tools, add their text, select their language and task, and receive an answer. Our system operates on a credit basis, with each credit representing one prompt.

3. Token and Credit System

We use tokens and credits to manage and provide our services. A token is a unit of text roughly equivalent to a character, including spaces and punctuation marks. A credit represents one prompt or query on our tool.

3.1 Token Limits

Depending on the user’s plan, the input and output token limits vary as follows:

White Dwarf Monthly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 1000 tokens input and 1000 tokens output.
Blue Giant Monthly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 2000 tokens input and 2000 tokens output.
Red Giant Monthly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 3000 tokens input and 3000 tokens output.
White Dwarf Yearly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 4000 tokens input and 2000 tokens output.
Blue Giant Yearly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 6000 tokens input and 3000 tokens output.
Red Giant Yearly Plan: Each prompt is limited to 10,000 tokens input and 4000 tokens output.

The AI system is designed to handle prompts up to the specified token limits, with the ability to generate responses within the corresponding output limitations. However, it is important to recognize that not all responses will necessarily reach these maximum limits. The length and detail of AI-generated responses are influenced by several factors, including but not limited to: the complexity of the query, the specificity and clarity of the input text, and the contextual information required to provide a meaningful and coherent response. As such, users should be aware that while the AI strives to deliver comprehensive answers, the output may vary based on the aforementioned conditions.

3.2 Credit System

The credit system facilitates interaction with the Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit. Each credit represents a prompt of up to 500 tokens, comprising your question and the AI’s response. Thus, a larger interaction, say, 600 tokens, would consume two credits. The more credits you have, the more expansive and detailed the questions you can ask. Each interaction with the system consumes credits based on its length in tokens. Hence, a substantial credit balance enables you to delve deeper into text proofreading, ensuring your content is articulate, concise, and free of errors. Credits are essentially your passport to limitless learning opportunities with our Proofier AI Toolkit.

3.3 Credit Allocation and Usage

We offer different plans to accommodate various users’ needs. Users can earn extra credits through activities such as registration, daily logins, publishing questions, approved answers, and referrals.

If a user exhausts their monthly credit allocation, they can purchase additional credits. These credit packs are exclusively available for users with an active subscription.

3.4 Credit Rollover and Reset

Unused credits will roll over to the next month provided that the subscription is active and renewed timely. However, credits are not cumulative for free users and reset to zero each week. If a subscription is not renewed or cancelled, all remaining credits will be reset to zero.

4. Subscription Plans

We offer three subscription plans: White Dwarf, Blue Giant, and Red Giant. Each plan comes with a unique set of features, token limits, and monthly credits. Users can upgrade or downgrade their subscription plan at any time via the account settings.

White Dwarf Plan: This plan is ideal for users with moderate needs, offering balanced token limits and credits suitable for standard usage.
Blue Giant Plan: Designed for users requiring higher capacity, the Blue Giant Plan provides increased token limits and additional credits, making it suitable for more intensive use cases.
Red Giant Plan: Our most comprehensive plan, the Red Giant Plan, is perfect for heavy users, offering the highest token limits and the most monthly credits for extensive usage.

We offer both yearly and monthly subscription options for each plan.

Yearly Plan: Pre-selected on our pricing page (https://discourseanalyzer.com/pricing/), the yearly plan offers enhanced value by providing 200 additional credits each month across all plans. This option is ideal for long-term users who prefer to pay annually and benefit from extended features, including longer input and output token limits. By committing to a yearly plan, users can enjoy consistent performance and access to the highest level of service.
Monthly Plan: The monthly plan is perfect for short-term projects or for users who want to try the tool without a long-term commitment. This flexible option allows users to experience the full range of features and capabilities on a month-to-month basis, making it easy to adjust the subscription according to their needs.

Each plan is designed to cater to different usage levels and preferences, ensuring that all users can find a suitable option that meets their specific requirements.

5. Subscription Cancellation

Subscriptions can be cancelled after 3 days from the start date. However, any unused credits will be forfeited upon cancellation and will not be refunded. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing cycle.

6. Query Limitations

To ensure fair usage and maintain optimal performance, there is a limit of 2 queries per 60 seconds for all subscription plans. This limit aligns with the average time it takes for a human to read and process the results of each query, ensuring that all users have a consistent and efficient experience.

7. Support and Assistance

If you require help or have any queries, please contact our support team through the website’s contact form or email.

8. Payment and Renewal

8.1 Authorized Payment Methods

We accept payments via PayPal and major credit cards managed by PayPal.
The payment method used for transactions must belong to the account holder. Using someone else’s payment method is strictly prohibited.
If a payment is made using someone else’s payment method, we require a written email from the payer, the one who paid, authorizing the payment. This authorization must be received prior to the transaction being processed.

8.2 Subscription Payment

Subscription payments are processed via PayPal. You must ensure that your payment details are up to date to avoid any disruption in service.
By subscribing, you authorize us to charge the applicable subscription fees to your chosen payment method.

8.3 Prohibition of Unauthorized Third-Party Payments

Each account must be paid for by the account holder using their own payment method. Third-party payments are not allowed unless we receive a written email from the payer, the one who paid, authorizing the payment. This authorization must be received prior to the transaction being processed.
Unauthorized use of someone else’s payment method will result in the cancellation of the subscription and a refund to the original payment method owner.
If a refund is issued due to the unauthorized use of a payment method, the account associated with the subscription will be investigated and may be permanently banned if fraudulent activity is confirmed.

8.4 Renewal

Subscription renewals are not automatic. This means the platform doesn’t automatically charge you, as there is no payment method linked to your account. You are entirely responsible for renewing your subscription.
You will be notified prior to the end of your current subscription period to manually renew your subscription. Renewal can be made by clicking on the PAY button of the invoice received in the email, which will lead you to the Discourse Analyzer website where you can pay for your invoice, or by logging into your account and visiting: https://discourseanalyzer.com/my-account/orders/.
Failure to renew your subscription before the expiration date will result in the termination of your service and the forfeiture of any unused credits. Renewing will keep the unused credits and add to them the credits of the renewal, depending on the plan you choose.

8.5 Dispute Resolution

If you believe there has been an error or unauthorized transaction, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and resolve disputes promptly, keeping you informed throughout the process.
Unauthorized use of payment methods will be thoroughly investigated. If fraudulent activity is confirmed, appropriate actions, including refunds, cancellations, and account bans, will be taken.

9. Overdue and Suspension Policies

An overdue period of 3 days and a suspension period of 5 days apply. If a subscription is overdue or suspended, email reminders will be sent according to the set schedule. If a subscription ends, all remaining credits will reset to zero.

Manual Payment Reminder Email: 3, 2, 1 days before due date

18. Potential Service Interruptions During Updates

Definitions and Scope: Service interruptions refer to periods when the Service or its components may not function as designed. These disruptions can occur during or immediately after scheduled updates, maintenance tasks, or software upgrades, potentially affecting service availability and performance. These interruptions may persist if we are not promptly made aware of them.

Reporting Procedures: Should you encounter any disruptions, please report them immediately through our dedicated support channel https://discourseanalyzer.com/contact-us/. Provide as much detail as possible, including the time of the incident, the services affected, and any error messages received.

Expected Response: We commit to acknowledging reported issues within 24 hours and strive to resolve reported problems swiftly and effectively.

Compensation Policy: In the event of a confirmed service disruption affecting your user experience, we offer the following gestures of goodwill:

Active Subscribers: In response to confirmed service interruptions, active subscribers may choose one of the following compensations:
- Receive additional credits and an extended subscription period to offset the inconvenience.
- Request cancellation and receive a full refund (the full amount of the subscription for the current month) or a partial refund, depending on the duration of the service interruption and its impact on your ability to use the service effectively.
Non-Subscribers: Gain a free one-month subscription.

Limitations: Compensation is only available for disruptions directly caused by our actions during or after updates and maintenance. Disruptions outside our control, such as those resulting from internet service provider issues or natural events, are not eligible for these compensations.

Legal Disclaimer: While we strive to minimize interruptions, especially during or after scheduled updates, maintenance, or upgrades, they may still occur. Our liability for disruptions directly resulting from these activities is limited. Compensation, if any, will be determined based on the specific circumstances of the service interruption, such as the inability to log in or lack of response from the service.

We are not liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of the Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of data, missed deadlines, or compromised academic integrity resulting from inaccuracies in analysis or delays in processing. Users involved in research, education, or professional projects should not solely rely on the toolkit for critical tasks without verification.

It is important to distinguish between service disruptions caused by updates or upgrades and the expected limitations of AI technology, such as potential inaccuracies in analyzing complex discourses or delays due to high data volumes. These limitations do not qualify as faults for which compensation is considered.

We appreciate your understanding and patience and are fully committed to resolving promptly any genuine service-related issues directly tied to our updates and maintenance. Please use the Discourse Analyzer AI Toolkit in accordance with its intended purpose and within the capabilities of AI technology.

19. Cancellation and Refund Policy

We provide a cancellation and refund policy for users within the first 7 days of subscription. If, for any reason, you wish to cancel your subscription within this period, please contact us at your earliest convenience. You may reach out to us via our contact page or directly at [email protected].

When requesting a cancellation, your cooperation is required. We do not proceed with immediate cancellation; instead, we seek confirmation and may offer assistance to resolve any issues you may have encountered. Should you decide to cancel within the 7-day period, you are not obligated to provide explanations, but we do require confirmation of the cancellation. If you prefer not to go through the confirmation process, you may directly access your account and view your subscription at https://discourseanalyzer.com/my-account/sumo-subscriptions/, cancel your subscription, and then send an email within the 7-day time frame. Please note that the cancellation option in your account becomes available only after 3 days from the subscription commencement.

Refunds are only available if the user has not consumed more than 10% of their allocated credits. If you determine that the service does not meet your expectations or needs, it is essential to cease the use of your credits immediately and notify us of your intention to cancel. If these conditions are met, and the cancellation is processed, we will proceed with the refund. Upon completion, we will reply to your email informing you of the refund.

We prioritize your satisfaction and strive to process all valid refund requests promptly. Your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy will ensure a smooth transaction for both parties.
