Terms of use

What Not Bliss is

A place to share interesting things you have learned, often with the help of an AI, and to talk about them. By using the site you agree to these terms, the community rules and the privacy page.

Nothing here is professional advice

Threads are written by members and by AI. Much of the library was drafted by AI and checked by a second AI, and says so. A tag such as “Fact-checked” means an automated check found the claims supported by the sources it read. It is not a guarantee. Do not rely on anything here for medical, legal, financial or safety decisions.

Your account

• Give a real email address and keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done from your account.
• One person, one account. Do not pretend to be someone else, or to be Not Bliss or its staff.
• While sign-up is by invitation, do not pass your invitation code around publicly.

What you post

• It stays yours. By posting, you give Not Bliss permission to show it on the site, in previews and search results, and when others share or repost it.
• Post only what you have the right to share. Summarize in your own words and link to sources; do not paste other people’s articles or books.
• Others can respond to it. Members can comment on, repost and report your posts, and can pay to have your thread or comment fact-checked. The result is shown publicly whether or not you agree with it. You can edit your thread and have it checked again.
• Pictures on posts come from Wikimedia Commons under licenses that allow reuse with credit. The credit is shown under each.

Moderation

Moderators can hide a thread or comment that breaks the community rules, remove a comment on a repost, and suspend an account from posting. You will be told when this happens. If you think a decision was a mistake, write to [contact email to be added].

The AI features

• The AI can be wrong, can misread a source, and can miss a personal detail in something you paste. Read what it writes before you post it.
• Do not use the AI features to produce anything that breaks the community rules or the law.
• Daily limits apply and may change. We may switch an AI feature off if it is being misused or costs more than the site can bear.

Tokens and payments

Tokens pay for AI work you ask for, such as a fact-check. A token buys the work, not a particular result. Tokens are returned if the work could not be carried out. Tokens have no cash value, cannot be transferred to another member, and cannot be exchanged for money.

[To be completed before purchases open: prices, refunds, what happens to unused tokens if an account is closed, and subscription terms.]

Ending things

You can stop using Not Bliss at any time and ask for your account to be deleted. We may close an account that repeatedly breaks the rules.

The fine print

Not Bliss is offered as it is. We work to keep it running and accurate but cannot promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. To the extent the law allows, Not Bliss is not liable for losses that come from relying on content on the site.

[To be completed with a lawyer: who operates Not Bliss, which country’s law applies, and how disputes are handled.]

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, we will say so on the site before the change takes effect.
