Terms
Last updated November 8, 2026
ChecksOut is made by Conatus LLC. By using it, you agree to these terms.
The short version
- A report is our findings about one version of an app on one date. It isn’t a guarantee or a certification.
- Reviews are done with AI, and AI can be wrong. Weigh a report with your own judgment.
- Only claim sites you own or run.
- Badges are served by us, so they change when a review expires or is withdrawn.
This is a summary. The full text below is what counts.
What a ChecksOut report is
A report describes specific checks on one version of an app, on one date, and what we found. It's our findings, not a promise. It isn't a guarantee that an app is free of problems, it isn't a government or industry certification, and it doesn't cover anything the report doesn't list. Apps change after they're checked, which is why reports expire.
Reviews are done with AI. AI can miss things and can be wrong. Each report says what was checked by ChecksOut and what was stated by the developer, and you should weigh it alongside your own judgment.
The free check
The free check reads what a site sends every visitor and reports what it sees. It isn't a review, and it doesn't earn a badge. Use it only as described here: don't try to get around its limits, run it in bulk, or use it to cause trouble for a site.
Claiming a site
Only claim sites you own or run. Proving a site is yours lets ChecksOut look for files that shouldn't be public, like .env files, and show you findings no one else sees. If you put a verification code on a site you don't control, we may remove the claim and your account.
Badges and published reports
A badge may be shown only on the site its report names, and only as the image we serve, so it updates when a review expires or changes. Don't copy, edit or imitate it. We may mark a report “Under review” or “Withdrawn” if we learn of a new problem or that a report relied on something untrue.
Your account
ChecksOut is in a free pilot. Anyone who can read your sign-in email can sign in as you, so keep it to yourself. We may limit or end access, for example to stop misuse. You can stop using ChecksOut and ask us to delete your account any time.
No warranties
ChecksOut, its checks and its reports are provided as they are, without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Conatus LLC isn't liable for losses that come from using ChecksOut, relying on a report, or a problem in an app ChecksOut checked or didn't check. ChecksOut is free during the pilot; if our liability can't be excluded, it's limited to $100.
Changes and questions
We'll update these terms as ChecksOut grows, including before paid reviews open, and change the date above when we do. How we handle your data is on the Privacy page. Questions? Email hello@conatusllc.com.
