Terms and Conditions

Version 1.0 · Last reviewed 4 April 2026

SECTION 1 — ABOUT THESE TERMS

These Terms and Conditions ('Terms') govern your access to and use of the Hoozright website and app (together, the 'Platform'), operated by HOOZRIGHT LTD ('Hoozright', 'we', 'us', 'our'), a company registered in Ireland with company number TBC ON INCORPORATION. Our registered address is Killadreenan, Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow, IE.

By creating an account or using the Platform in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email or via an in-Platform notification. Your continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

SECTION 2 — ELIGIBILITY

You may only use Hoozright if you are at least 16 years old. By using the Platform, you confirm that you meet this requirement.

If you are using the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

We reserve the right to refuse access to anyone, at our sole discretion, including where we have reason to believe a user is under 16.

SECTION 3 — YOUR ACCOUNT

3.1 Registration

To access most features of the Platform, you must register an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep it up to date.

3.2 Account security

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at support@hoozright.com if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your credentials secure.

3.3 One account per person

Each person may hold only one Hoozright account. Creating multiple accounts — including to manipulate Reputation Scores or circumvent a ban — is prohibited.

SECTION 4 — THE PLATFORM AND ITS FEATURES

4.1 Debates

Hoozright allows users to create structured debates, vote on outcomes, and earn a Reputation Score based on the accuracy and timing of their votes. The Reputation Score is determined by our proprietary algorithm, which we may update from time to time.

Debate outcomes are determined by us, applying our resolution criteria. We do not guarantee that any particular method of resolution will be used for any particular debate.

4.2 Vote gating

On Hoozright, comments are locked until you cast a vote in a debate. By casting a vote, you agree that you are doing so on the basis of your genuine judgement.

4.3 Timing mechanics

The Platform rewards early voters who correctly call outcomes more than late voters. The exact weighting of timing to reward is set by us and may change. You accept that the algorithm may be adjusted at any time without prior notice.

4.4 Judge status

Users who maintain a sufficiently high Reputation Score may be elevated to Judge status. Judge status is determined solely by us, applying our algorithm. We may revoke Judge status at any time, including if we detect manipulation or breach of these Terms.

4.5 Result certificates

Winning users may receive a shareable result certificate. Certificates are provided as a record of Platform performance and carry no legal, financial, or professional weight outside the Platform.

4.6 Debate expiry

Closed debates are publicly visible for 30 days, after which they are no longer accessible to users. We retain internal records of debate votes and outcomes for our own purposes, including our Opinion Intelligence data product, in anonymised form (see our Privacy Notice).

SECTION 5 — USER CONTENT

5.1 What you post

The Platform allows you to submit debate titles, arguments, comment text, links, images, and embedded video content (including YouTube and TikTok clips) as evidence. You retain ownership of content you create. By posting content on the Platform, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, reproduce, display, and distribute that content for the purposes of operating and improving the Platform.

5.2 Third-party media

Where you embed or link to third-party content (including YouTube or TikTok videos), you confirm that you have the right to share that content in this context and that doing so does not infringe the rights of any third party. We are not responsible for third-party content embedded or linked by users and we do not host it directly. Playback is subject to the terms of the originating platform.

5.3 Content standards

  • Contain malware, viruses, or other harmful code
  • Attempt to impersonate another person or organisation
  • Violate anyone's privacy or data protection rights
  • Facilitate or encourage any illegal activity

We use AI-assisted moderation (Google Gemini) to help detect content that breaches these standards. We also review content manually. We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate any account that breaches these standards, without prior notice.

5.4 Links

You may include links to third-party websites as evidence in debates. We are not responsible for the content of any linked site. Linking to a site does not imply our endorsement.

Premium subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). Your subscription will renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.

8.3 Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time via your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable consumer law.

If you are based in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may have a statutory right to cancel within 14 days of subscribing and receive a full refund, provided you have not made use of the Premium features during that period. To exercise this right, contact us at support@hoozright.com.

We may change the features included in Hoozright Premium at any time. Where we remove a material feature, we will notify subscribers in advance and offer a pro-rata refund or the option to cancel without penalty.

SECTION 9 — AVAILABILITY AND CHANGES TO THE PLATFORM

We aim to make the Platform available at all times but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict the Platform (or any part of it) for operational, maintenance, or security reasons without prior notice.

We reserve the right to change or discontinue any feature of the Platform at any time. We will try to give reasonable notice of significant changes.

SECTION 10 — DISCLAIMERS

The Platform is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all warranties, conditions, and representations of any kind, whether express or implied, including as to fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Reputation Scores and debate outcomes on Hoozright are Platform metrics only. They do not represent, and should not be relied on as, any form of expert, professional, or verified opinion.

We are not responsible for the content of any debate, comment, or link posted by users.

SECTION 11 — LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for any claims arising under or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees you have paid to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 100.

We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss or damage, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or reputation, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

SECTION 12 — INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Hoozright, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, your user content, or your breach of these Terms.

SECTION 13 — THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Platform uses third-party services including Google Firebase, Google Analytics, and Google Gemini. Your use of the Platform is also subject to the relevant terms and policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for the practices of any third-party service provider.

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have breached these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion.

You may close your account at any time via your account settings. On closure, we will delete your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity) will continue to apply.

SECTION 15 — GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

If you are a consumer based in the EU, you may also be entitled to use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

SECTION 16 — GENERAL

  • These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Hoozright in relation to the Platform.
  • If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.
  • Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it in the future.
  • You may not assign any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations at any time, for example in connection with a business transfer.
