Description of Service

SciSeek provides a free, AI-powered science question-and-answer service. Users may submit science-related questions and receive generated responses. The service is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

Acceptable Use

You agree to use SciSeek only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with its mission as a science information resource. You agree not to:

  • Submit questions intended to generate harmful, abusive, or illegal content
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits or abuse the service through automated queries
  • Use the service to harass, threaten, or harm any person or group
  • Submit content that violates any applicable law or regulation
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the technical operation of the Site

SciSeek is a science-focused service. We reserve the right to decline or disregard questions that fall outside the scope of science, technology, mathematics, medicine, and engineering.

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Answers provided by SciSeek AI are generated by an artificial intelligence model and are intended for general educational and informational purposes. They do not constitute professional scientific, medical, legal, or engineering advice.

While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information. Always consult a qualified professional for decisions that affect your health, safety, legal standing, or engineering projects. SciSeek is not liable for any consequences arising from reliance on AI-generated responses.

Intellectual Property

The SciSeek name, logo, and original site content are the property of SciSeek. AI-generated responses are produced dynamically and are not pre-authored content owned by SciSeek.

You retain no intellectual property rights in the questions you submit. By submitting a question, you grant SciSeek a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use that question text for the purpose of generating and delivering a response, and for improving the service.

No Warranties

SciSeek is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular question will receive a response. We make no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI-generated answers for any particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SciSeek and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or any content provided through it. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the service shall not exceed the amount you paid to use the service (which, as a free service, is zero).
