Terms of Service
Last updated: November 13, 2026
These terms apply to the Citelint website and Citelint Pro. By using Citelint you agree to them.
Using Citelint
- The free plan checks up to 20 references a day. Please don't automate requests to our lookup service or use it to bulk-download database records.
- You're responsible for the documents you check and for having the right to use them.
Results
Citelint compares your references with records in Crossref, arXiv and Semantic Scholar. Matching is automatic and can be wrong. "Not found" means we couldn't find a record; it doesn't prove a reference is fake. Always check important results yourself before acting on them, especially before judging someone else's work.
Citelint Pro
- Pro is a one-time purchase sold through Polar, our merchant of record. Polar's terms also apply to your purchase.
- Your license key is for one person. Don't share or resell it.
- If Pro doesn't work as described, email us within 14 days of purchase for a refund. The key is revoked when a refund is issued.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, Citelint is provided "as is", and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us. We're not liable for indirect losses.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
