Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Discover Anyone (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What the Service does

Discover Anyone helps you search the public internet for a face or a name and returns publicly available results. We do not create, host, or control the third-party pages that results link to. Results are provided as-is for informational purposes only.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use the Service. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, email legal@discoveranyone.com and we will remove it.

4. Acceptable use and prohibited uses

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and only in ways that respect other people. You will not, and will not attempt to:

• Use the Service or any result as a "consumer report" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), or to make any decision regarding a person's eligibility for credit, insurance, employment, housing, education, government benefits, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA or an analogous state law. Discover Anyone is not a consumer reporting agency and results are not consumer reports.
• Use the Service in a manner that violates the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), or any other applicable privacy, consumer-protection, or anti-discrimination law.
• Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, dox, defame, defraud, extort, or physically harm any person; enable domestic or intimate-partner violence; or target minors in any way.
• Upload a photo you do not have the legal right to submit, upload sexual imagery of any person without their informed consent (including non-consensual intimate imagery or child sexual abuse material), or attempt to identify a person for the purpose of harming them.
• Scrape, crawl, mirror, resell, sublicense, or build a competing service from the Service or its results; reverse-engineer, decompile, or bypass any security or rate limits; use bots, scripts, or automated means to access the Service; or misuse credits or referral rewards.
• Use the Service to build, train, fine-tune, or evaluate a facial-recognition, identification, biometric, or surveillance model or dataset.

You are solely responsible for how you use the results. We may suspend or terminate your account at any time and without notice if we believe you have violated this section.

5. Accounts and payment

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Paid plans and credit purchases are billed through our payment processor. Credits and subscriptions are non-refundable except where required by law. Chargebacks or reversals may result in immediate suspension.

6. Your content and license

You represent and warrant that (a) you have all rights necessary to submit any photo, name, or other input; (b) submitting it does not violate any person's privacy, publicity, contract, or intellectual-property rights; and (c) the input is not illegal or restricted content. You grant Discover Anyone a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to process your input solely to run your search and operate the Service. Uploaded photos are not retained after the search completes.

7. Third-party content and assumption of risk

Results are aggregated from third-party sources on the public internet, including search engines and facial-search providers. We do not create, host, control, endorse, or verify third-party pages, and we are not responsible for their accuracy, lawfulness, availability, or content. You acknowledge that matches may be imperfect, outdated, incorrect, or ambiguous, and you assume all risk of any action you take based on a result. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Discover Anyone from any and all claims arising out of third-party content or your reliance on any result.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL RESULTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT RESULTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE. ANY RELIANCE YOU PLACE ON RESULTS IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISCOVER ANYONE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, DEFAMATION, INVASION OF PRIVACY, PUBLICITY, OR THE ACTS OF THIRD PARTIES — EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Discover Anyone and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) any content or input you submit; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights, including privacy, publicity, or intellectual-property rights.

11. Binding arbitration and class action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court and to participate in a class action.

Individual claims only. You and Discover Anyone agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, your account, your privacy, or any information returned by the Service (each, a "Dispute") will be resolved solely on an individual basis. You and Discover Anyone expressly waive any right to bring, join, or participate in any class action, collective action, mass action, consolidated action, or representative action of any kind, whether in court or in arbitration.

Arbitration. Except for small-claims matters or claims for injunctive relief regarding intellectual property, any Dispute will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

No jury; no class arbitration. You and Discover Anyone waive any right to a jury trial. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, or declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration and class action waiver by emailing legal@discoveranyone.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your account email and the words "Arbitration opt-out" in the subject line. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

Severability of this section. If the class action waiver above is found to be unenforceable in a particular Dispute, then that Dispute (and only that Dispute) will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the remainder of this section will continue to apply. The rest of these Terms remain in effect regardless.

One-year limitations period. Any claim relating to the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by non-waivable law.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, any action that may proceed in court will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

13. DMCA and removal requests

Discover Anyone does not host third-party pages; we surface links to publicly indexed content. If you believe a linked page infringes your copyright, submit a DMCA notice to legal@discoveranyone.com with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). To request removal of your own information from our results or to exercise privacy rights under applicable law, email privacy@discoveranyone.com.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or misuse the Service. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the Account page. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 6-13, 15-16) will survive.

15. Force majeure

We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or utility outages, cyberattacks, or third-party service failures.

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Discover Anyone regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them freely. No agency, partnership, or employment relationship is created.

17. Changes

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date below. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
