Chrono Scan Terms of Service

Effective date: July 22, 2026
Provider: Chrono Consulting Group ("Chrono", "we", "us"), PO Box 314, Deer Park, NY 11729.

By submitting a website for a scan or otherwise using Chrono Scan, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. The service

Chrono Scan is a free, outside-in read of a business's likely constraints, generated by AI from publicly available data. No account, login, or data connection is required. In these Terms, "read" and "report" mean the same generated output.

2. Eligibility and acceptable use

You must be at least 18 to use Chrono Scan. You represent that you have a legitimate interest in any site you submit. You agree not to: submit a site to harass, defame, or target any person or business; submit sites you have no legitimate interest in; use automated means to submit requests at volume; attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the service; or use the service in violation of any law.

3. Informational only, not professional advice

The read is informational and directional only. It is generated by AI from public data and may contain errors, omissions, outdated information, or incorrect inferences. It is not professional advice of any kind, including financial, legal, accounting, investment, or business advice, and it comes with no guarantee of accuracy or completeness. Every finding is a hypothesis to confirm, not a verdict. Do not rely on a read as the sole basis for any decision. You are solely responsible for any action you take based on it.

4. No warranty

Chrono Scan is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chrono and its owners, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the read or your use of the service. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid us for the service (which, for a free read, is US $0) or US $100.

6. Intellectual property

The reports, analysis, methodology, models, and any aggregated or derived data are and remain the property of Chrono. When you request a read, you receive a limited, personal, non-transferable license to view your own report. You may not resell, redistribute, sublicense, or create derivative works from it, or use it to build a competing product.

7. Consent to the scan and to data use

By submitting a website, you agree that we may collect and analyze publicly available data about that business and use it to operate and improve our service, including to train our models over time using de-identified and aggregated signals. Our handling of your personal information, and our retention periods, are described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Email and SMS consent

By submitting your email, you consent to receive your transactional report by email, and, if you tick the newsletter box, the Chrono Log newsletter. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe. If you provide a phone number, you consent to receive messages related to your read; we do not send unsolicited marketing texts, and we do not send cold texts to numbers we have not been given.

9. Third-party links and services

A read or our emails may link to third-party sites or services we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices.

10. Businesses that are the subject of a read

A read is our opinion and outside-in analysis of a business, formed from publicly available information at the time it is generated. Its findings are hypotheses and impressions, not statements of fact about a business's finances, conduct, or quality, and should be read that way. We deliver each read privately, at a private and unguessable link, to the person who requested it or to the business it concerns, and we do not publish reads publicly. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to decline to run a read, or to remove or stop hosting one, including at the request of the business that is its subject. If you are the subject of a read and believe it contains an error, or you do not want us to generate or host one, email info@chronocg.com and we will review the request and, where appropriate, correct or remove the read and add the domain to a do-not-scan list.

11. Copyright and DMCA takedown

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe material in a read infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent that includes: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material and its location (a link to the read); your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act. Send notices to info@chronocg.com (attn: DMCA Agent), Chrono Consulting Group, PO Box 314, Deer Park, NY 11729. We will respond as provided by the DMCA, including by removing infringing material.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Chrono harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your misuse of the service or your violation of these Terms or any law.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 14, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York for any dispute not subject to arbitration or small-claims resolution.

California residents. If you are a California resident, to the extent California law requires, a claim arising in California will be governed by California law rather than New York law, and nothing in these Terms requires you to arbitrate or litigate such a claim outside California.

14. Dispute resolution: arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes are resolved.

You and Chrono agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court.

Fees and location. Chrono will pay all AAA filing and arbitrator fees for any claim seeking less than US $10,000, as provided by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by phone or video, or, if an in-person hearing is held, in the county where you live, so you are not required to travel to New York.

Class-action waiver. You and Chrono agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing info@chronocg.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating that you opt out of arbitration and including the email you used. If you opt out, the governing-law and jurisdiction terms in Section 13 apply to your disputes.

If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court under Section 13.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new effective date. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

16. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full effect.

Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Chrono about Chrono Scan, and they supersede any prior understanding.

Assignment. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. You may not assign yours without our consent.

Notices. We give notice to you by email to the address you submitted, or by posting at scan.chrono-os.com. You give notice to us at info@chronocg.com or the mailing address below.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
