Rate this clause →“Although Instagram will normally only delete Content that violates this Agreement, Instagram reserves the right to delete any Content for any reason, without prior notice.”
Rate this clause →The exact text was not found in the current TOS document. This can happen if the company updated their terms, if the clause was slightly paraphrased during extraction, or if it came from a linked document like a privacy policy.

“While Instagram prohibits such conduct and content on its site, you understand and agree that Instagram cannot be responsible for the Content posted on its web site and you nonetheless may be exposed to such materials and that you use the Instagram service at your own risk.”
“Consequently, Instagram encourages you to maintain your own backup of your Content. In other words, Instagram is not a backup service.”
Rate this clause →Why did 1 clause fail?
Verification works by searching for the exact clause text inside the TOS document. A clause fails when the wording does not match character-for-character. Common reasons: the company quietly updated their terms, the AI slightly paraphrased when extracting, or the clause lives in a separate linked document (like a privacy policy or data processing agreement). Failed clauses are flagged as “AI-extracted” on the site until they can be re-verified.
How this works
Stored on Arweave
The proof data is uploaded to Arweave, a permanent storage network. Once there, it cannot be changed or deleted by anyone - not even CrazyTOS.
Registered on AO Computer
Each verification is also registered on AO, a decentralized computer built on Arweave. Think of it as a public ledger: every verified clause gets an entry that anyone can check, creating a tamper-proof chain of records independent of any single company.
Why it matters
Companies change their terms all the time. This system creates a permanent, public record of what they said and when. If a clause disappears tomorrow, the proof still exists.
