Terms of use

Last updated 1 September 2026. Plain words; they mean what they say.

Who you are contracting with

True Causes is operated by Inverudio Inc. Paid plans are sold through a payment provider acting as merchant of record; that provider appears on your invoice and handles tax.

What the service is

Software for running a structured deliberation and producing a map of causes. It is a tool for a group to reach and record its own conclusions. It does not make decisions, verify facts, or give professional advice. A map it produces is the opinion of the people who made it.

Your account

You are responsible for what is posted from your account and for keeping your password. One person, one account. An address may be confirmed once, by one account.

What you may not do

This is about conduct, not conclusions. We do not remove a dialogue for reaching an answer somebody dislikes — publishing disagreement is the point of the software. We do remove:

• planning or coordinating violence, or anything unlawful where the service is operated;
• harassment of, or material identifying and targeting, a particular person;
• claiming to be a constituency you are not — a room presented as speaking for a group it does not belong to. This is the abuse the mechanism is least able to see by itself, and the one that damages every other participant;
• manufacturing agreement: several accounts or rooms run by one hand so that a claim looks independently corroborated;
• attacks on the service, on other people's accounts, or on the record.

When we remove a dialogue the record shows that it was removed, and when. We do not quietly delete things: a service whose value is an honest record cannot have silent holes in it.

What belongs to whom

What you write stays yours. By posting it you allow us to store and display it inside the dialogue you posted it in, and — only if you press release on a card — to show it to the other rooms working on that question. Releasing cannot be undone, because other rooms may already have raised the same claim and their record stands.

Money

Plans are monthly and cancel at the end of the paid period. Thirty days, no questions asked, on a first subscription. A lapsed subscription never deletes a dialogue — it caps new seats and new dialogues; everything already recorded stays readable.

Beta, and no warranty

This instance is being tested at scale. It is provided as it is, without warranty. Our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the previous twelve months. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Ending

You may delete your account at any time. We may close an account that breaks these terms, and will say why unless prevented by law.

Law

Governed by the law of the operator's jurisdiction. Nothing here removes a consumer right you have where you live.
