v0.2.0

Web-grounded fact-checking and payment gating for AI agents and backends.

Service

Fact-checking (claim verification) over HTTP for software and AI agents. You send a claim as text; we analyze it using public web search and return a JSON response with a score, references, and a short summary.

What you receive

Digital service (API only). Nothing is shipped physically. After payment succeeds, we return verification results for that request immediately.

  • Primary endpoint: POST /verify
  • If unpaid: HTTP 200 with status: payment_required, checkout URL in reason and optional X-Payment-Link
  • Agent discovery: /.well-known/agent-card.json

Payments & compliance

Card payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. via Checkout. Full card numbers are not stored on our servers; handling follows Stripe’s policies.

The legal notice below (Japan Act on Specified Commercial Transactions) lists the seller name, contact, payment method, delivery timing, and return policy. Sign-up is online only; we do not publish a physical address on this page and respond to lawful disclosure requests by email.

Pricing

Prices are shown in Japanese yen (JPY), tax included. Usage-based: one verification request equals one billable API call.

¥100 (tax included) per request

Included: one fact-check API use for that paid request. Your card issuer or network may charge fees under their own rules, in addition to our listed price.

Payment, cancellation & refunds

Payment

Credit and debit cards via Stripe Checkout. Follow the on-screen steps. When payment completes, API access is authorized for that purchase.

Cancellations & refunds

This is a digital service (API-delivered verification). After verification has completed and results have been delivered, we do not offer refunds or cancellations. Where Japanese law or other applicable law requires a refund, that obligation still applies.

For duplicate charges, clear payment errors, or obvious system failures, contact us at the email below; we will review and respond in good faith.

Terms of service (summary)

Please read before using the API. A separate full agreement may apply if we publish one later.

Scope: These terms govern use of the VeriNode fact-checking API (“Service”).

Contract: When you call the API and payment via Stripe completes for a request, a contract is formed for that request.

Prohibited use: No illegal activity, infringement of third-party rights, unauthorized access, abusive load, fraud, or other use we reasonably deem inappropriate.

Disclaimer: Results are based on public information and are not guaranteed complete or error-free. Except where mandatory law says otherwise, we are not liable for indirect damages.

Law & venue: Governed by the laws of Japan. Courts at the operator’s location in Japan have exclusive jurisdiction unless prohibited by law.

Privacy (summary)

Key points about personal data. If we publish a full privacy policy, that document prevails.

Payments: Stripe collects and processes card data. We may receive limited billing metadata from Stripe as needed to operate payments.

Service operation: Claim text you send may be forwarded to search providers to perform verification. We may retain logs and billing records for a limited time for operations and accounting.

Support: If you email us, we use your message to respond and may retain it as correspondence.

Rights: For access, correction, or deletion requests under applicable privacy law, contact carai@cocarai.com.
