These Terms govern your use of Ask a Jury. By using the service, you agree to these Terms, the Community Guidelines, and the Privacy Policy.
You must be legally able to agree to these Terms. We may restrict access where required by law or for safety reasons.
You are responsible for activity on your account. Do not impersonate another person, evade a suspension, or create accounts for manipulation or harassment.
You retain ownership of content you submit. You give Ask a Jury permission to host, process, moderate, display, and summarize that content as needed to operate and improve the service. You can delete a case you posted at any time. Deleting it removes the story, votes, and written takes for everyone; XP already earned stays.
By using Ask a Jury, you agree that a public case you post may appear in social media content from Ask a Jury and from people we collaborate with, to bring traffic to the website. That is a short snippet — such as the question and a brief excerpt of what happened — so others can read the case, take a seat, or see a verdict. You still own what you write. We will not use your email address, and we will not include details that identify you or anyone else in the story. If you delete a case, or remove a completed case from the public archive, we will not use it in new posts.
Do not submit identifying information about other people. Pseudonymity is a product feature, but no online service can promise perfect anonymity or security. How we use the email on your account is in the Privacy Policy.
We email you about verdicts and cases you posted or sat on — including when a seat or case closes — and we may email when a public case still needs jurors. The juror-needed email does not go to the person who posted the case. We do not send marketing. You can turn case emails off in Account settings. Password-reset and confirmation emails still send.
Ask a Jury is for entertainment and community perspective only. It is not a court, not legal advice, and verdicts are not legally binding. Jury responses are opinions from other users. They are not medical, mental-health, legal, financial, emergency, or other professional advice. Do not rely on the service as a substitute for qualified professional help.
These are the Community Guidelines, reproduced here so the Terms and the Guidelines page always say the same thing. Breaking them is a breach of these Terms.
Ask a Jury may use automated systems and human review to block, remove, limit, or review content and accounts. We may suspend or terminate access for violations, abuse, safety risks, or misuse of the service.
The automated filter only stops the serious stuff — slurs, threats, death wishes, doxxing, and contact details. Most of the time nothing is recorded against your account and you can try again straight away.
Where a strike is recorded, it escalates:
Slurs, credible threats, telling someone to kill themselves, doxxing, and sexual content involving minors skip the ladder and can suspend an account on the first offence.
You can delete your account at any time from your account page. Deleting removes your username, avatar, and email address and disables your login. Cases and juror takes you contributed remain on the service without your identity attached, because they form part of other users’ completed verdicts. If you posted a case, you can delete that case itself from the case page.
The service may change, experience outages, or be discontinued. Features, XP rules, jury size, and moderation systems may evolve.
Ask a Jury does not control what other users believe or how they act. Jurors are strangers giving opinions. Use your own judgment about what to do next.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes may be communicated through the product or other reasonable means.
