ColdRead

0. This is a draft pending counsel review

Read it as the honest intent; the bound version follows launch.

The text below describes how we intend to operate the Coldread web UI. PeachStateAI will publish a counsel-reviewed, dated version of these terms before any paid offering goes live. Until then, this draft is the operating intent and supersedes nothing in your favor.

1. What Coldread is

Coldread is open-source software developed by PeachStateAI (Newnan, GA). The web UI at coldread.com is a hosted instance of the same code, provided as a free research preview. The CLI and MCP server are released under the MIT license and run entirely on your machine.

2. Bring your own key

You provide your own Anthropic API key. All Anthropic API charges incurred by your runs go to your Anthropic account. PeachStateAI does not pay for, subsidize, or remit any portion of those charges. See /privacy for how the key is handled.

3. Acceptable use

What you agree not to do, and a few notes on what we don't police.

You agree not to use Coldread to:

• Generate, score, or refine content that is illegal in your jurisdiction or in the United States — including but not limited to CSAM, content that solicits violence against an identifiable person or group, or content designed to enable a specific crime.
• Generate content intended to defraud consumers, deceive a regulator, or impersonate a real individual without that individual's consent.
• Use Coldread output to misrepresent that real people, real demographic groups, or real market segments hold any particular opinion. The reactions are written-persona output; attributing them to real humans without disclosure crosses from preflight signal into fabricated research.
• Build or train a competing model on the persona definitions or simulation outputs without attribution as required by the MIT license on the underlying repo.
• Attempt to extract, reverse-engineer, or scrape Coldread infrastructure (the web UI, the serverless functions, the rate-limit boundaries) beyond normal product use.
• Use the URL-fetch endpoint (/api/fetch) as a generic SSRF or proxy — the endpoint exists to extract a marketing asset, not to relay traffic.
• Submit content that violates Anthropic's Usage Policies for the API.

Things we explicitly do not police:

• Whether your asset is good or bad. Coldread is here to surface that signal, not to pass judgment on your taste.
• Whether you act on the recommendations. Most users won't — that's fine.
• Whether the asset is real, hypothetical, satirical, or fictional. The system runs either way; the responsibility for what you ship is yours.

3a. Limitations and known constraints

What the system can't do, in plain English.

• Coldread reactions are generated by Anthropic models speaking as written personas. They are not real human responses and not a replacement for talking to your customers.
• The Americans panel is U.S.-anchored. International audiences are out of scope today; non-U.S. localization is a known gap.
• Asset size: very long assets (multi-page documents) are truncated to fit the model context. The web UI's text input is sized for marketing-copy lengths.
• Run length: a single run is capped at five minutes by Vercel function timeouts. Hybrid (full Americans + audience) runs may push that limit on slow Anthropic days.
• Cost: charged to your Anthropic account at their published rates. We don't subsidize, mark up, or remit. See /privacy.

4. Output and accuracy

Coldread reactions are generated by language models speaking as written personas. They are not real human responses and are not market research. Use them as directional signal only. PeachStateAI makes no representation that any score, theme, or recommendation produced by the system reflects the views of any real person, demographic group, or market segment. Treat the output as an input to your judgment, not a substitute for it. See /methodology for the longer version.

5. No warranty

The web UI is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. PeachStateAI does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time. The MIT license terms in the open repo govern the underlying code.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PeachStateAI is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Coldread web UI. Your sole remedy if you are dissatisfied is to stop using the service.

7. Changes

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the open repo with a dated commit. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
