Terms of Service
INTEGRALLY TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: January 14, 2025
1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Integrally (hereinafter "Integrally," "We," "Us," or "Our"). We are glad to have You ("You," "Your," or "User") join our effort to promote respectful, open, and honest dialogue—especially amongst people of differing viewpoints. We operate an online platform at https://integrally.one (the "Site"), as well as via iOS and Android mobile applications (collectively, the "Services").
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully. By creating an account or otherwise accessing or using the Services, You agree to be bound by these Terms and all terms incorporated by reference. If You do not agree to all these Terms, do not use the Services.
1.1. Updates to These Terms
We may update, revise, or change these Terms at any time at Our sole discretion, consistent with applicable law and best practices, by posting updated Terms through the Services. Your continued use of the Services after any such update is deemed Your acceptance of those updated Terms.
1.2. Our Free Speech Philosophy and Legal Compliance
Integrally is a “free-speech absolutist” platform insofar as applicable law allows. We believe in a robust public square where people may disagree vigorously while maintaining respect and integrity.
However, We also respect and comply with local, national, and international laws regarding prohibited and/or unlawful speech. Such legal requirements include, but are not limited to, relevant U.S. federal laws (e.g., 18 U.S. Code §§ 2251–2260; 18 U.S. Code § 2252A; the PROTECT Act of 2003), the EU Digital Services Act, the Australian Online Safety Act, and Germany’s NetzDG. Therefore, specific forms of speech may be restricted or removed to comply with these laws.
2. ELIGIBILITY & ACCOUNTS

4.2. Data Access, Modification & Challenges
Consistent with relevant data protection laws (e.g., EU Digital Services Act, Australian Online Safety Act, German NetzDG), You have the right to access, modify, challenge, and/or delete Our hosting of Your personal data if applicable law so allows.
To submit such a request or complaint, please contact Our support team at support@integrally.one. We will review and respond to each request within a reasonable time, as required by applicable law.
4.3. Advertising & Third-Party Relationships
We do not sell or provide Your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.
We may, however, serve advertisements to You based on aggregated or anonymized data. Our advertising partners will not have direct access to Your identity or personal details unless You choose to engage with them and provide such information voluntarily.
5. CONTENT POLICY
5.1. Definition of “Content”
For purposes of these Terms, "Content" includes text, photographs, videos, audio files, links, data, or other forms of media or communications that You or any other user submits or otherwise makes available via the Services, including "User Content" (i.e., posted by other users) and "Assisted Content" (i.e., posted by the large language model instance assigned to Your Account, as explained below in Section 6).
5.2. Free Speech & Lawful Obligations
We encourage open debate and robust disagreement. However, We will remove or restrict access to certain Content when legally required or where it may create legal liability or otherwise violate these Terms.
Examples of “prohibited Content” (which will be removed or restricted) include:
Child Sexual Abuse Material (“CSAM”): Any depiction or description of a minor (under the age of 18) in sexual activities or the sexual exploitation of a minor, consistent with U.S. laws (18 U.S. Code §§ 2251–2260, 18 U.S. Code § 2252A, the PROTECT Act of 2003) and international equivalents.
Incitement of Violence: Direct threats of violence or calls to action to harm individuals or groups.
Glorification or Promotion of Terrorism: Content that praises or supports acts of terror.
Content That Violates the Rights of Others: This includes copyright-infringing material or private information posted without authorization.
Illegal or Unlawful Content: Any Content that is unlawful within the relevant jurisdiction, including but not limited to, content that violates the Australian Online Safety Act, the EU Digital Services Act, or Germany’s NetzDG.
Certain laws require us to ensure you are complying with the laws and regulations in your posts. Accordingly, We will take necessary steps when required to do so by law, to provide your personal data to relevant authorities. Should you believe certain content is violative of your rights under local law, you may contact support@integrally.one.
5.3. Moderation by Community “Scoring”
Scoring Axes: Integrally uses a system of peer moderation by allowing Users to “Score” Content on two axes:
Dialectical Agreement–Disagreement (x-axis)
Integrity (y-axis)
Democratized Moderation: Low-Integrity scores can reduce the visibility of abusive, hateful, or intentionally misleading Content, while high-Integrity scores boost Content recognized as constructive—even if strongly disagreed with ideologically.
Integrally does not “put its thumb on the scale” to censor or downgrade ideas simply because there might be disagreement between users on a given topic. Instead, We only intervene directly where Content violates law or these Terms.
5.4. Enforcement of Content Policy
We reserve the right to remove or restrict Content for any or no reason, including but not limited to compliance with local laws, to protect individuals or groups from threats or harassment, and to address potential liability for illegal content. When Content is removed, We will notify You (the poster) to the extent required by law.
6. ASSISTED CONTENT
6.1. Use of Large Language Models (“LLM”)
Each Integrally Account includes an instance of a large language model that can generate “Assisted Content” (e.g., suggested replies, comments, etc.). You decide whether to post any Assisted Content. We emphasize:
You Are Responsible: You are legally responsible (including defamation and other liabilities) for any Assisted Content You choose to post.
Potential for “Hallucination”: LLMs may generate inaccurate or offensive text. It is Your responsibility to review and edit the Assisted Content before posting.
Scoring of Assisted Content: We may request that You also “Score” the LLM’s generated content to help train the model’s responses for Your specific Account.
7. USER CONDUCT
7.1. Prohibited Conduct
You must not:
Engage in unauthorized access to or use of another user’s Account.
Engage in any practice that disrupts or otherwise negatively impacts the Services (e.g., denial-of-service attacks, data scraping, or distributing viruses/malware).
Post Content that contains:
Private or Personal Information of others without their express consent.
Use the Services in a manner inconsistent with any applicable law or regulations, or in violation of any government-imposed sanctions or embargoes.
7.2. Investigation and Enforcement
We may investigate suspected violations of these Terms and may cooperate with law enforcement in prosecuting Users who violate the law. We may notify or disclose information about You to law enforcement or governmental authorities as required by applicable law.
8. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT & EXTERNAL LINKS
8.1. Third-Party Services
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services (collectively, "Third-Party Content"). We do not control or endorse any Third-Party Content. Your access to and use of Third-Party Content is at Your own risk, and You should review any applicable terms and conditions.
8.2. Advertising & Monetization
Some portions of the Services may be supported by advertising revenue and may display advertisements and promotions. The manner, mode, and extent of advertising on Our Services are subject to change. You agree that We may place such advertising in association with Your Content without compensation or payment to You.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT (DMCA & SIMILAR)
