Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 20 October 2026
Effective: 2 August 2026

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of
https://theverbarium.com (the “Site”),
including its articles, its writing tools and the assistant called
The Verbarium AI where it is switched on (together, the “Service”).

By using the Site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with them,
please stop using the Site.

1. Who we are

The Site is operated by:

In these Terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the above. “You” refers to
anyone using the Site.

2. Who may use the Service

The Service is intended for a general audience. You must be at least
13 years old to use it, or at least 16 if you
are in a country where that is the minimum age for consenting to online services.
If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only
with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

The Verbarium AI (section 4.5) is for adults. You must be 18 or over
to use it.

By using the Service you confirm that you meet these requirements, and that
you are not barred from using it under any applicable law or sanctions
programme.

3. The Service is free

The Site and its tools are provided free of charge. There is nothing to buy,
we do not take payments, and there are no subscriptions or paid items. The Service
is intended to be funded by advertising (see section 7).

Because the Service is free, we do not promise that it will always be
available, and we may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it, including
individual tools or features, at any time.

4. Our content and your use of it

4.1 What we own

All original material on the Site (the articles, the rewrites and examples in them, the text checkers and the other tools, their code and their interface, the page designs
and the site name) is owned by us or licensed to
us, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Ordinary words and phrases are, of course, not owned by anyone. What we claim is
our own writing: the explanations, examples and rewrites, and the way they
are selected and arranged.

4.2 What you may do

You may read, print, and share links to our content for your own personal,
non-commercial use. You may quote short extracts for the purposes of comment,
criticism, review or news reporting, provided you credit The Verbarium and link
back to the original page.

4.3 What you may not do

Without our prior written permission, you must not:

  • copy, republish, or redistribute our articles, in whole or in substantial part, on any other website, app, or platform;
  • scrape, crawl, harvest or otherwise extract our content by automated means, including for the purpose of building a competing dataset or product;
  • use our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine learning models;
  • remove or obscure any copyright notice or attribution;
  • use our name, branding or the appearance of the Site in a way that suggests an association or endorsement that does not exist.

4.4 Third-party word data

Some of the text checkers use word data built from a public-domain English word list.
Ownership of the underlying language and of any public-domain lexicon is not claimed by us.

4.5 The Verbarium AI

Where it is switched on, The Verbarium AI is an automated assistant. It answers
questions about wording from our articles, says what a page of the Site is about, writes or reworks a short text for work from what you tell it, and can write the summary and the answers shown in the “Ask The Verbarium” box inside an article. A machine produces its replies, using a model run
by Google, and they can be wrong or incomplete. A draft is built from the facts
you give and from nothing else, so check every fact, date and figure in it before
you use it. What you send out under your own name is your responsibility.

A text the assistant writes or reworks for you from your own material is yours
to use as you wish, and section 4.3 does not restrict that. Its answers draw on
our articles, which stay covered by sections 4.1 to 4.3.

When you use the assistant you must not:

  • ask it for anything meant to deceive, such as false reviews, invented qualifications or experience, or a message written to pass as someone else’s;
  • send it personal data about other people, or anything confidential that is not yours to share;
  • try to make it act outside its purpose, reveal its instructions, or get round the limits on its use.

We limit how much the assistant can be used, and we may change or withdraw it at
any time (section 3). What you type is sent to Google to produce the reply. Our
Privacy Policy says what
happens to it.

5. What you send us

5.1 Your responsibility

You are responsible for anything you send through the Site: a message sent
through the contact form, and what you type into The Verbarium AI. Do
not send content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, threatening, harassing,
obscene, deceptive, infringes anyone’s intellectual property, contains personal
data about other people, or is spam or unsolicited promotion.

5.2 What happens to it

The Site has no accounts and no comment sections, and publishes nothing you send.
A message sent through the contact form is read and answered by us. What you type into The Verbarium AI is handled as
section 4.5 and the Privacy Policy
describe. You keep ownership of what you send.

6. Things you must not do to the Site

You must not:

  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers or its database;
  • probe, scan or test the security of the Site, or bypass any access control or rate limit;
  • introduce malware, or any code intended to damage or disrupt the Site;
  • place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure, including through automated requests or denial-of-service attacks;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source of any part of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it;
  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of any sanctions or export control law.

7. Advertising

The Site is intended to be funded by advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertisements
are supplied by third parties and are not endorsements by us. We are not
responsible for the content of any advertisement or for anything you buy from an
advertiser; any such transaction is between you and them.

How advertising cookies work, and how to control them, is explained in our
Privacy Policy.

8. Links to other sites

The Site links to third-party websites. We do not control those sites, do not endorse them, and are not
responsible for their content, accuracy or practices. Visiting them is at your
own risk and subject to their own terms.

9. Accuracy and no warranties

We put real work into getting our articles right. Even so, the
Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, and to the
fullest extent permitted by law we make no warranties of any kind, express or
implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

In particular, we do not warrant that:

  • any wording, rewrite or usage advice in an article is right for your situation, your employer or your country: check it against the rules and conventions that apply to you;
  • a text checker finds every problem in a text: the checkers match patterns and word lists and cannot judge meaning, so a clean result is no guarantee;
  • any answer or draft from The Verbarium AI is accurate, complete or suitable for your purpose: a machine produces it, and you should check it before you rely on it;
  • the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or free of errors or bugs;
  • any defect will be corrected, or that the Service will meet your requirements.

Nothing on the Site is professional, legal, educational, medical or financial
advice.

10. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal
injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or
for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill;
  • we are not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service, or from any dealings with an advertiser or third-party site;
  • our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to EUR 100, reflecting that the Service is provided to you free of charge.

If you are a consumer, these Terms do not affect your statutory rights, and
nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited under the consumer
protection law of your country of residence.

11. Indemnity

If you use the Service in a way that breaks these Terms or the law, and that
causes a third party to bring a claim against us, you agree to indemnify us
against the reasonable losses, damages and legal costs we incur as a result. This
does not apply to the extent the claim arises from our own breach or
negligence.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, or to any part of it,
if we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms, or where we must do so to
comply with the law or protect other users. Where it is reasonable to do so, we
will tell you why and give you a chance to respond.

You may stop using the Service at any time.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including
sections 4, 9, 10, 11 and 13, continue to apply afterwards.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Albania,
and the courts of Tirana, Albania have jurisdiction over any
dispute arising from them.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United
Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer
laws of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the
courts there.

We would much rather resolve things directly. Please email
TheVerbarium@gmail.com before taking
any formal step.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Site develops or the law changes. The current
version will always be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. If a
change materially affects your rights, we will make that clear on the Site.
Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated
Terms.

15. General

  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain in force.
  • No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
  • Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours if the Site changes hands, provided your rights are not reduced.
  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Disclaimer, form the whole agreement between us about the Service.
  • Language. These Terms are written in English, and the English version prevails over any translation.
