Terms of Use

Logosmose is a skill-based written-thinking contest. Each participant receives their own hard question, has five minutes and up to two thousand characters to answer it, and the answer is scored by artificial intelligence across five criteria — relevance, reasoning, clarity, accuracy and concision — producing a public score. Participants climb a single public ranking.

This version of Logosmose is free and ranking-only. There is no entry fee, no prize money, no payout and no wagering of any kind. The reward is the ranking and the satisfaction of a sharp answer.

By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use Logosmose.

Logosmose is a written-thinking contest: your own question, five minutes, an AI score, and a public ranking. This version is free — no fees, no prizes, no gambling. Using it means you accept these terms.

Logosmose is a contest of skill. Outcomes depend on the quality of your written thinking as judged against a published rubric, not on chance. It is not gambling, betting or a lottery: there is no stake, no wager and no monetary prize in this version.

Logosmose is not an investment, an employment opportunity, an income opportunity, or financial, legal or professional advice. Treat it as a competition.

It is a skill contest, not gambling. No stakes, no bets, no money prizes. It is not a job, an investment, or advice — it is a competition.

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. By signing up, you confirm you meet this requirement.

Creating an account requires a valid email address, which we verify with a one-time code. You choose a public pseudonym and a pixel-art avatar. Pseudonyms are screened by automated moderation: offensive, hateful, impersonating, or non-identifiable names (such as “Anonymous” or equivalents in any language) are rejected, because every answer on Logosmose must carry an identifiable public name.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for everything done through your account. You control your email preferences: marketing emails are opt-in and can be turned off at any time; essential service messages (sign-in verification, security, and moderation or account notices) are not marketing and are always sent. You may delete your account at any time from Settings.

You must be 18+ and give a real email. You pick a public nickname (screened by moderation) and an avatar — no “Anonymous”. You are responsible for your account, can turn off marketing emails, and can delete your account anytime. Important account emails are always sent.

When you start a round, a question is revealed and a five-minute timer begins. You have up to two thousand characters to answer. The question is hidden until you begin, you cannot copy it, and pasting an answer is disabled. There is no revision after you submit, and if the timer runs out you may submit what you have written or discard it.

You may play as many rounds as you like. Each answer is graded independently and, once scored, becomes public (see Section 10).

Start a round, get a question, five minutes, up to 2,000 characters. No copying the question, no pasting, no edits after submitting. Play as often as you like; each scored answer becomes public.

This version of Logosmose involves no money. There are no entry fees, no purchases, no subscriptions, no prizes and no payouts. We do not ask for payment details or identity documents to play.

We may introduce paid features in a future version; if we do, they will be governed by clearly presented terms that you would separately accept before any charge.

Everything here is free. No fees, no purchases, no prizes, no payouts, no payment or ID details needed. Any future paid features would come with their own terms you accept first.

You alone are responsible for what you write. You must not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, threatening, harassing, sexually explicit, deceptive, that incites violence or illegal acts, or that otherwise violates the rights of others.

You must not attempt to cheat or manipulate the contest. In particular you must not: use AI assistants, co-writers or pre-written text during a timed round; share questions or coordinate with others before answers are public; operate multiple accounts or answer on behalf of others; or attempt to reverse-engineer, manipulate or disrupt the grading system. Answers are also checked for how likely they were written by an AI, and a machine-generated reading reduces the score in proportion to that likelihood.

You own what you write. No hateful, illegal, sexual or abusive content. No cheating: no AI help or pre-written text during a round, no colluding, no multi-accounting, no gaming the grader. Answers that read as AI-written are scored down.

Before an answer is stored or graded, its text is automatically screened for severe or abusive content. If it is rejected, the answer is not stored, graded, ranked or shown in the live feed: the participation is void, you are shown a clear notice, and — to prevent repeated attempts — you cannot start a new round for two (2) minutes.

An answer that passes the screen is graded and becomes public, and you alone remain responsible for it. Moderation then remains complaint-driven: any answer can be reported by any account, reviewed for severity, and — if it breaches our standards — removed from the service for everyone. No automated system is perfect: some content may pass the initial screen (which is why reporting exists), and some may be screened out incorrectly. You can contact us at contact@logosmose.com to contest any decision.

Before it is graded, every answer is checked for severe content. If rejected, it is voided, you are told, and you wait 2 minutes before playing again. Answers that pass are graded and public. After that, anyone can report an answer; severe ones are removed for everyone. Email contact@logosmose.com to contest a decision.

You can report any answer you find objectionable. You can hide an individual answer so you no longer see it, and you can block another participant so none of their answers are shown to you again. These tools are available on every answer throughout the app. You cannot report your own answer, and reporting is handled as described in Section 9.

You can report answers you think break the rules, hide answers you don’t want to see, and block people so you never see their answers. You can’t report your own answer.

When an answer is reported, it is reviewed for severity against recognised objectionable-content standards — including hateful, defamatory or mean-spirited attacks on protected groups, incitement to violence, illegal-weapons content, sexual or exploitative content, inflammatory religious content, knowingly false information presented as fact, and content that exploits tragedies. Ordinary rudeness, sharp criticism, satire and humour are not treated as severe. You are told the outcome in the app. An answer already reviewed twice by our systems is not reviewed again; anyone reporting it is told it was validated and invited to contact us.

If content is judged severe, it is permanently removed for everyone and its author receives a formal warning by email. Warnings are counted per calendar year: up to two (2) warnings may be issued in a year, and a third (3rd) confirmed severe violation in the same year suspends the account for 30 days — you cannot sign in and your content is hidden, but your data is kept so the decision can be contested at contact@logosmose.com. If the suspension is not overturned within 30 days, the account and its content are permanently deleted. We may also act directly on egregious violations, including multi-accounting or coordinated cheating.

Reported answers are checked for severity and you’re told the result. Not severe: it stays. Severe: removed everywhere and the author gets a warning. Two warnings a year are allowed; a third serious violation the same year means a 30-day suspension (data kept so you can appeal), then deletion if the appeal fails. Serious abuse can be actioned directly.

Once scored, your answer becomes public and remains visible indefinitely, displayed next to your pseudonym, theme and score, and it counts towards the public ranking. Your email address, date of birth and real identity are never shown publicly.

You retain copyright in your answers. By submitting, you grant Logosmose a worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, reproduce and distribute your answers and derived statistics for the purpose of operating and promoting the service. Public answers and aggregate statistics may be retained even after your account is deleted.

A scored answer is public forever, shown with your nickname, theme and score — never your email or real name. You keep the copyright but let us display it. Public answers and stats may stay even after you delete your account.

Logosmose relies on third-party artificial intelligence services to generate questions, to grade answers across the five criteria, to estimate how likely an answer was written by an AI, and to screen pseudonyms and moderate content. The providers involved and the data shared with them are described in our Privacy Policy.

Grading is probabilistic and may contain errors. AI outputs do not reflect the views of Logosmose and are not statements of fact. We do not guarantee any particular score, rank or outcome.

AI writes the questions, grades answers, estimates AI-written likelihood, and helps moderate. The Privacy Policy names the providers. AI can make mistakes; we don’t guarantee any score or rank.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, error-free operation, or specific outcomes from participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Logosmose and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including from AI-generated scores or content produced by participants.

The app is provided as-is, with no guarantees. As far as the law allows, we’re not liable for indirect damages from using it, from AI scores, or from what other people write.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, announced in the app. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Keep using the app and you accept the new version.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and subject to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you have where you live. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.

Logosmose is an independent platform. It is a competition of skill and expression and takes no political side.

These terms follow the law of Quebec, Canada, without removing consumer rights you have where you live. If one part can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. Logosmose is independent.
