Results

The site's measurements, counts and detections come from research algorithms that are still being developed, and they can be wrong. Check them before you rely on them. They are not for diagnosing or treating anyone.

No warranty

The site is provided as is, without any warranty. It may change, be unavailable, or stop at any time. As far as the law allows, whoever runs the site is not liable for any loss or damage from using it, including lost data or wrong results.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, this page will say so, with a new date at the top; using the site after that means you accept them. Questions: ariel@rauntruth.com.
