Terms of Service
Last Updated: November 27, 2025
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”, together with any applicable supplemental terms, the “Agreement”) form a legally binding agreement between Syncause (“Syncause”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and the individual or entity (“you”, “User”) accessing or using the Syncause AI Debugging Platform and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to this Agreement.
1. Access & Service

Subject to compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal or internal business purposes related to software debugging and analysis.
1.2 Account & Security
You must provide accurate, current, and complete registration information, safeguard your credentials, and are responsible for all activities under your account. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. You may request account deletion by contacting support@syn-cause.com.
1.3 Prohibited Conduct
You may not:
- Violate laws or third-party rights;
- Use the Services to monitor, penetrate, or access any system without explicit authorization;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Services;
- Disrupt, overload, or interfere with the integrity or performance of the Services;
- Submit Sensitive Data as defined in Section 5.5 (e.g., source code, secrets, regulated personal data).
Violations may result in suspension or termination under Section 7.
1.4 Usage Restrictions
We may impose or adjust limits on usage, data capture volume, storage, or concurrency to maintain service stability.
2. Subscription, Credits & Payment
2.1 Subscription Model
The Services operate on a subscription plus credit model. Subscriptions are prepaid monthly or annually and automatically renew until cancelled. After cancellation, your plan will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
2.2 Credits
- Allocation. Subscriptions include credit allowances.
- Consumption. Credits are deducted for operations such as:
- Initiating Context Capture Sessions
- Executing AI Analysis Queries
- Exporting Debug Reports or Data
- Accessing Extended Historical Session Data
- Reset & Expiry. Subscription credits reset each billing cycle and do not carry over.
- Non-Cash. Credits have no monetary value and may not be redeemed, transferred, or resold.
- Forfeiture. Unused credits may be voided upon account termination, downgrade, or closure. Fraudulently obtained credits may be revoked.
2.3 Billing & Payment
Payments are processed by Creem and support international credit/debit cards. We may add or change payment channels (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay). We do not store your card data.
Chargebacks. In case of chargebacks, we reserve the right to deduct related fees and suspend or terminate accounts associated with disputed payments.
2.4 Taxes
All prices exclude VAT, GST, or Sales Tax. Where required by law (e.g., EU/UK VAT, Singapore GST, certain U.S. states), applicable taxes will be charged at checkout and remitted.
2.5 Refund Policy
- Cooling-off (EU/UK/Turkey). You may request an unconditional refund within 14 days of purchase; if more than 30% of credits are used during this period, we may deduct proportionally.
- General Refunds.
- Monthly subscriptions: refund requests within 24 hours of purchase;
- Annual subscriptions: refund requests within 48 hours of purchase;
- Beyond these windows, refunds are not available unless required by law.
- Processing. Approved refunds are typically processed within 5–10 business days (actual timing depends on payment processor/bank).
- Non-Refundable Cases. No refunds if credits are consumed beyond the cooling-off period, if you violate these Terms (e.g., misuse, unauthorized access), or if unused credits expire upon termination.
3. Sharing & Public Content
3.1 User Sharing (Live)
Users may generate live share links for debugging sessions that always reflect the latest analysis. Links may be revoked at any time via the UI, though cached or previously accessed content may remain visible externally. All user share links default to noindex (not indexed by search engines).
3.2 Company Showcase (Snapshot)
We may publish snapshot debugging sessions (static copies) on our website (e.g., use cases, tutorials, marketing) that may be indexed for SEO. We will anonymize or obtain consent for any sensitive information before publication.

AI/ML systems have limitations; outputs may be inaccurate, biased, or repetitive. You must review and use them at your own risk.
