Ascently Stack Audit — Terms of Service

Effective: 2026-09-09 Applies to: the Stack Audit at audit.ascently.com (US-only alpha) Version: 0.1 — interim, founder-signed, not yet reviewed by outside counsel

1. Who we are

Ascently ("we", "us") is operated by Stanislav Chentsov, Miami, Florida, United States. These terms cover the Stack Audit at audit.ascently.com ("the service") and nothing else. The main website and any future personalised product have their own terms.

By using the service you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

2. Eligibility

You must be 18 or older and in the United States. This is a US-only alpha. If you select a country outside the United States, we stop before running the audit and tell you so.

3. What the service does

You enter what you take. It returns:

• nutrients that appear twice in your stack, and the combined daily amount;
• doses at or above published upper intake levels for your age band;
• documented interactions between your supplements and your medications, and between supplements;
• items where the human trial evidence is not good enough for us to say anything, stated plainly.

It is subtractive by design. It tells you what to remove, adjust, or ask about. It does not tell you what to buy, and it sells nothing.

4. What the service is not

• It is not medical advice and not a substitute for a licensed clinician or pharmacist.
• It gives no diagnosis and does not identify any condition you may have.
• We present it as software, not as a licensed health professional. We use no professional title and no wording implying a healthcare licence anywhere in it.
• It makes no disease claim about any supplement.
• We do not offer it as a medical device and it is not intended for that use.

The full wording is in disclaimer.md, which forms part of these terms.

5. Emergencies

Do not use the service in an emergency. If you have acute symptoms — chest pain, severe bleeding, thoughts of harming yourself, a severe allergic reaction — call 911 or go to an emergency department. If your notes mention symptoms like these, we stop the audit and show you that message instead of a result. That is deliberate and we will not run the audit anyway.

6. Review status of the safety information

Our interaction rules are documented from cited sources. A licensed pharmacist has reviewed part of the rule set. The rest is published with its status shown, because hiding a documented interaction would be worse than showing it with an honest label.

Every result carries a review-status line. Where a rule has been reviewed, we say so. Where it has not, we say that too, we show the source, and we ask you to check with a pharmacist rather than telling you what to do. We do not lower a warning level because nobody has reviewed it yet.

7. No reviews, testimonials, or endorsements

We publish no user reviews, no testimonials, and no endorsements on the service. Nothing on it was written to read like another person's experience with a product. If that ever changes, any material connection will be disclosed on the page it appears on.

8. Your part

• Enter doses from the label. The catalogue does not carry per-serving amounts for every product, so the number you type is the number we use.
• The catalogue and the rule set are incomplete. Silence from us is not a clearance.
• Talk to your prescriber or your pharmacist before you change anything you take on prescription.
• Do not stop a prescribed medicine because of anything the service shows you.
• Do not enter another person's information unless they asked you to.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to: automate access beyond ordinary personal use; circumvent the bot check or the rate limits; scrape the catalogue, the rule set, or the evidence pages in bulk; decompile, disassemble, or otherwise derive our source code or data set; resell the results or present them as your own service; or interfere with the service's availability for other people.

We may limit or suspend access to keep the service up. We do not owe you notice before doing so during an alpha.

10. What we do with what you enter

privacy-policy.md sets this out in full and forms part of these terms. In short: your entries are used to run your audit and are not kept afterwards; we write a numeric row to an append-only log recording that an audit ran; if you tick the research checkbox we may include your submission in aggregate counts. You keep whatever rights you have in what you enter. You give us permission to process it for those two purposes and no others.

11. Waitlist

Joining the waitlist is optional. We store your email address, the time, and your consent flag, and we use them to tell you when the personalised engine opens. We do not sell or share the list. Reply to any message and we delete your row.

12. Availability, and what happens when our log is down

This is an alpha. We may change, pause, or withdraw the service at any time, with or without notice.

If our audit log is unavailable, the service stops rather than running without a record, and you see a temporary-unavailable message. This is a design decision, not a bug: an audit that was never written is an audit we cannot stand behind later.

13. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose. The rule set has known gaps and known false positives, and we say so on the results themselves. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.

14. Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss arising from your use of the service, and our total liability for any claim connected with the service is limited to 100. The service is free; you pay us nothing.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.

15. Your responsibility to others

If you use the service for someone else, or publish its output, you are responsible for how that lands. Do not present our output as a clinical opinion, and do not strip the review-status lines or the disclaimer from anything you share.

16. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms we change the effective date at the top and post the new version here. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the change.

17. Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you and we consent to that venue.
