Legal
Terms & Conditions
Effective date: May 28, 2026
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Kompete, an AI-powered competitive intelligence service. By creating an account, signing in, or using any part of the service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use Kompete.
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing Kompete you confirm that you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital consent age in your country), that you have read and understood these Terms, and that you have the legal capacity to enter a binding agreement. If you are using Kompete on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation.
Description of Service
Kompete provides AI-generated competitive intelligence reports. You submit a company name; our system dispatches multiple AI agents to gather publicly available information from news sources, financial data, user reviews, and social signals, then synthesises a Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats (SWOT) report.
Reports are generated using Google's Gemini language model and reflect information available at the time of generation. Reports are informational only and do not constitute financial, legal, or investment advice.
Account Registration
You may sign in with a Google account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your session and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
Free-tier accounts are limited to one complimentary report. Additional reports require a valid personal Gemini API key, which you may supply through your account settings.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
- Submit prompts or company names designed to extract personal data, generate defamatory content, or circumvent AI safety measures.
- Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or systematically harvest data from the service.
- Share, resell, or sublicense access to your account or the generated reports in a manner that competes directly with Kompete.
- Introduce viruses, malware, or any code intended to disrupt the service or its infrastructure.
- Impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules without prior notice.

Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification survive termination.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
