Terms of service
Last updated .
1. The agreement
By creating a Curate account or using the service you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use Curate. You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to enter a contract where you live.
2. What Curate does
Curate captures links, text, photographs and documents that you send it, processes them with automated systems including AI models, and presents the result as a readable article or a structured recipe that you can search, tag, highlight and export.
Automated extraction is not perfect. Quantities, times, temperatures and text read from photographs can be wrong, and Curate is built on the assumption that you will sometimes correct it: every generated field is editable. Do not rely on an extracted recipe for anything where an error would matter, such as an allergy, a medical need or food safety. Check the original.
3. Your account
You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. One account is for one person; Curate is a single-user product and has no sharing or collaboration. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you think somebody else has access to your account.
4. Your content
What you save is yours. We claim no ownership of it. You grant us only the licence we need to run the service for you: to store your content, process it, transmit it between your devices, and display it back to you. Nothing more.
We do not use your content to train models, ours or anyone else’s, and our inference providers are contractually held to the same.
You are responsible for having the right to save what you save. Capturing a page for your own private reading is ordinarily fine; Curate is not a way to republish or distribute someone else’s work, and you agree not to use it that way.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use Curate for anything unlawful, or to store unlawful material;
- infringe copyright or other rights, or use Curate to strip access controls from content you are not entitled to;
- attempt to break, overload, probe or reverse engineer the service, or access it by any means other than the apps and interfaces we provide;
- resell the service or share your account with other people;
- automate captures at a volume no person could produce, or otherwise use the service in a way that degrades it for others.
6. Plans, prices and billing
The free plan processes up to 20 items per calendar month, per account. Capture, storage, reading, search, tags, highlights, sync and export are not limited on any plan.
The paid plan removes the processing limit, at $5.99 per month or $49.99 per year. The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial; the monthly plan does not. “Unlimited” means unlimited for personal use: above 500 processed items in a month we will contact you before anything changes.
Subscriptions bought on iPhone or Android are sold and billed by Apple or Google under their terms, renew automatically until cancelled, and are cancelled in the App Store or Google Play rather than by us. Refunds for those purchases are handled by the store that sold them. Where we bill you directly, the subscription renews automatically until you cancel it, and you can cancel at any time with effect from the end of the period you have paid for.
We may change prices. An existing subscription keeps its price until its next renewal, and we will tell you before a change takes effect so you can cancel if you would rather not continue.
7. If your subscription ends
Everything you have saved stays readable, searchable and exportable. Lapsing, cancelling or a failed payment changes only how much new content we will process for you. It never removes, hides or locks anything already in your library. If a payment fails we keep the paid plan working for a grace period, and we tell you the date.
8. Ending the agreement
You can stop using Curate and delete your account at any time, from Settings under Privacy and data. Deleting the account removes your server-side content, including uploaded files, within 30 days. Deleting the account does not cancel a subscription bought through a store; cancel that in the store as well, and we will tell you so at the time.
We may suspend or close an account that breaches section 5, or where we are required to by law. Except where the breach makes it impossible, we will give you notice and a chance to export your library first.
9. Availability
We aim for 99.5% monthly availability, and we will sometimes fall short: services are interrupted for maintenance, for failures, and for reasons outside our control. Processing depends on third-party AI providers and on the pages you save being reachable, neither of which we control. Items you have already processed remain readable offline.
10. Changes to the service and to these terms
Curate changes. We may add, alter or withdraw features. If we make a change that materially reduces what a paid plan provides, or a material change to these terms, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Curate afterwards means you accept the revised terms.
11. Warranties and liability
Curate is provided as-is and as-available. To the fullest extent the law allows we exclude implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or loss of data beyond our reasonable control. Our total liability in any 12-month period is limited to what you paid us in that period.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, you keep every statutory right you have under the law where you live, and nothing here overrides it.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, you may also bring proceedings where you live and keep the protection of that country’s mandatory consumer law.
13. General
If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest stands. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over the service, on the same terms.
