Terms of Service

Beta draft — last updated April 2026.

1. What Nous is

Nous is a poker study tool in closed beta. You can upload HRC solver files (.hrcz) and hand-history text from supported poker sites, review them, and share them with teammates or groups you create.

2. Beta status

The service is provided as-is with no uptime or data-durability guarantees. We make nightly backups on a best-effort basis, but you should keep your own copy of anything that would hurt to lose. Features can change or be removed without notice.

3. Your content

You own what you upload. By uploading, you grant Nous a limited licence to store, process, and display that content back to you and the teammates/groups you explicitly share with. We don't sell your data, feed it to third-party training pipelines, or surface it to unrelated users.

Hand-history files inevitably contain screen names of other players at the table. By uploading, you confirm you have the right to process that data for personal study (the same right every major HUD/tracker relies on). Don't upload hands that were obtained by exploiting a platform's terms of service.

4. Acceptable use

  • No mass-scraping other people's hands against their will.
  • No uploading content you didn't author or obtain fairly.
  • No abuse of the sharing system (spamming invites, flooding groups).
  • No attempts to break the site, bypass rate limits, or target other users.

We may suspend or delete accounts that violate the above without refund during the beta (the beta is free anyway).

5. Account security

Keep your password and invite links private. If you think your account was accessed without permission, reset your password from /forgot-password — that action invalidates every other active session on your account.

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Nous is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from using the service — including lost uploads, missed study time, or EV swung by a drill we got wrong. Read the bubble-factor twice.

7. Contact

Beta feedback and bug reports go straight to the maintainer's inbox. See Privacy for how we handle data.
