Entertainment and educational use. Nothing more.

Entertainment & educational purposes only

Second Trace is a software demonstration. Its content — including any example case data, sample reports, analysis, and recommendations — is provided for entertainment and educational purposes only and must not be used for any real investigation, legal proceeding, decision, or action of any kind. Nothing in the product establishes fact, proves guilt or innocence, or constitutes advice of any professional nature.

No professional advice

The platform does not provide legal advice, medical advice, psychological evaluation, forensic analysis, or investigative services. It does not replace or connect to CODIS, ViCAP, NamUs, NIBIN, NGI, forensic laboratories, prosecutors, or any official evidence-management system. Always consult the appropriate licensed professional for any real-world matter.

Use of the service

You agree to use Second Trace only for lawful, personal, non-commercial entertainment and educational purposes. You are solely responsible for any content you enter and for ensuring you have the right to use it. You agree not to use the service for harassment, defamation, doxxing, or any unlawful activity.

Public-record demonstration data

Any example case included with the product is based on publicly available information concerning historical matters and is presented strictly as a demonstration of software features. It is not an endorsement of any theory, and it makes no assertions about any living person.

Disclaimer of warranties

The software is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or accurate.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall the operator of Second Trace be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the service — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, the operator’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) to use the service.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the operator of Second Trace and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the service, or your violation of these terms.

Privacy & data

We collect only the information necessary to provide the service (such as your email address for authentication). Case data is stored with tenant isolation and is not used to train AI models. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information where required by law.

Changes & contact

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. For questions, contact the site operator.
