Terms of Service
Effective date: January 22, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Prose Parser text analysis service operated by Prose Parser LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). By using our service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Service Description
Prose Parser analyzes text for statistical patterns, including:
- Word frequency and vocabulary analysis
- Readability scores and metrics
- Sentiment analysis
- N-gram patterns and phrase analysis
Results are delivered via a unique token URL sent to your email address. Processing typically takes 5-30 seconds depending on text length. No user account is required. Processing is fully automated — no human reviews your submitted text. Results are available for 7 days, then automatically deleted.
2. Eligibility
To use Prose Parser, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
- Not be located in a country subject to U.S. sanctions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria) or Russia
3. Acceptable Use
You may submit:
- Your own original writing
- Public domain texts
- Texts you have the rights to analyze
You may not submit:
- Illegal content
- Content that violates others' copyrights (unless fair use applies)
- Malicious payloads or attempts to exploit the system
- Content designed to abuse the service (spam, load testing, automated scraping)
We reserve the right to refuse or terminate service without refund for violations, block IP addresses engaged in abuse, and report illegal content to authorities if required by law.
