Karmatic Terms of Service
Last Updated: October 14, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the services provided via app.karmatic.ai (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
Karmatic is a product of VentureKite (“Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”). References to Karmatic in these Terms mean VentureKite, which is the entity you are contracting with.
2. Description of Service
Karmatic monitors public discussion on Reddit and tells you where your knowledge would be useful. The service is read-only with respect to Reddit: it provides insights, alerts and analysis, and it contains no functionality for posting, commenting, voting, messaging, or any other action on the Reddit platform. Anything you choose to do on Reddit, you do yourself, from your own account.
3. Your Account
You need a Karmatic account to use the service. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential, for activity under your account, and for ensuring your use of the service complies with applicable law.
You do not connect a Reddit account to Karmatic. We read public Reddit content using our own registered application credentials. We never have access to your Reddit account and cannot act on your behalf.
4. Reddit and Third-Party Compliance
Your use of Karmatic is subject to the Reddit User Agreement and Reddit’s Responsible Builder Policy, and you agree to follow both when acting on anything Karmatic shows you.
Independent relationship: Karmatic is an independent third-party developer and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Reddit, Inc.
Policy changes: Reddit may change its terms or its platform at any time in ways that limit or alter what Karmatic can do. We will tell you if that happens.
5. Prohibited Conduct (The “Spam Shield”)
You explicitly agree that you will NOT use the data or insights provided by Karmatic to:
-
- Engage in “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” including spamming, harassment, or vote manipulation.
-
- Automate any “write” actions on Reddit (e.g., automated commenting, upvoting, or messaging).
-
- Attempt to re-identify, de-anonymize, or reverse-engineer data about Reddit users.
-
- AI/LLM Training: Use any data retrieved through Karmatic to train, tune, or improve Large Language Models (LLMs) or any form of artificial intelligence.
-
- Circumvent Reddit’s safety mechanisms or moderator-imposed restrictions.
Violation of this section results in immediate termination of your Service without refund.
6. Data Retention
Karmatic does not keep a permanent archive of Reddit content.
- Post and comment text, and the usernames attached to it, are retained for 8 days and then deleted automatically.
- Thread titles, permalinks, post identifiers, subreddit names, dates and the engagement counts at the time of reading are retained while your account is active, so historical analysis still links to the real thread.
- Our own analysis is retained. It describes patterns across a community rather than individual people, and contains no copied post or comment text.
A daily job re-checks stored items against Reddit and deletes anything that has been deleted, removed or made private there.
You may not use the service to build a permanent archive of Reddit content, or to retain content that has been deleted on Reddit.
7. Fees, Payments & API Pass-Through
-
- Subscription: Access to Karmatic is provided on a subscription basis.
-
- API Surcharges: You acknowledge that Reddit may charge commercial fees for API access. Karmatic reserves the right to adjust subscription pricing or implement pass-through usage fees to cover these costs with 30 days’ notice.
-
- Refunds: Unless required by law, all payments are non-refundable.
8. Limitation of Liability
Karmatic is provided “AS IS.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for:
-
- Service interruptions caused by changes to Reddit’s API or platform.
-
- Loss of data or business opportunities resulting from Reddit’s decision to throttle or revoke API access.
-
- Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
9. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at our sole discretion, without notice, for any conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to the Reddit community or the reputation of Karmatic.
10. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Miami, FL.
