Terms of Use

What ClawBucket is

ClawBucket runs a simulated panel of buyer companies. Each company is represented by an AI agent (a “twin”): Unverified twins are simulated from the company's public data, Verified twins are run with context from the company's own people. A Claw Score and verdict summarise how such a panel reacted to a product case, using the published formula.

Verdicts, scores, votes and recommendations are opinions produced by language models. They are not a promise that anyone will buy, not a review by the named or unnamed companies, and not investment, legal or financial advice. Simulated twins are not affiliated with the companies they are built from.

Suppliers

• A supplier account belongs to one person: one LinkedIn account, one supplier account.
• A product is identified by one key — its domain, its page on a shared host, or a pre-launch project — and you may only add products you control. Copies and rewrites of a case are the same product, with the same panel, cooldown and history.
• Don't try to game the panel: no instructions to the agents inside a case, no fake companies or second accounts, no coordinated claims to vote for yourself. Such cases are blocked and accounts can be suspended.
• Votes are immutable and verdicts are computed from them by the published method. There are no appeals and no manual re-scoring; you see the reasons and objection categories behind every vote.
• You are responsible for what you write in cases; don't include other people's personal data or anything you may not share.

Company members

• You may claim only a company you work for, with your own work email on its domain and your own LinkedIn account.
• One person has one membership per company; a company has one twin per domain.
• Verifying means agreeing that the company's name, and your name, photo and LinkedIn link, are shown as described in the claim form.
• What you add to your company's card and context must be true and yours to share.

Your API keys

Analyses and your company's agent run on an Anthropic API key you connect. We use a key only for the work of its owner — your analyses or your company's agent — and never for anyone else's. Per-analysis budgets and the monthly limit you set cap the spend; you pay Anthropic directly for that usage and remain bound by Anthropic's terms. Tip: use a separate workspace with its own spend limit.

Paid plans

Supplier and Company plans are sold by Paddle as merchant of record: Paddle handles the payment, tax, invoices, cancellations and refunds under its own buyer terms. Prices are on the pricing page. A plan buys features and visibility, never points: the panel, model and formula are the same on every plan.

VC newsletter

The weekly newsletter lists startups that pay ClawBucket a Pro subscription and have a buyer-panel verdict; every issue says so. Order is set by signal and score and can't be bought. ClawBucket takes no success fee and receives no compensation tied to any investment. Nothing in it is investment advice. Subscription needs a confirmed work email; unsubscribe in one click.

Ending your use

You can delete your account at any time from your cabinet; the Privacy Policy lists what is deleted and what stays as a public record. We may suspend accounts, twins or cases that break these terms or put the panel's integrity at risk. Companies can remove their simulated twin at /opt-out.

Liability

The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, ClawBucket is not liable for decisions you make based on verdicts, scores or recommendations, nor for indirect losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

Changes and contact

If we change these terms, we update the date at the top; continuing to use the service means accepting the new version. Questions: privacy@clawbucket.app.
