Academic Disclaimer

Last updated: 22 August 2026 — Effective immediately upon publication

This Disclaimer forms a binding part of the relationship between Morphica Technologies, operating as ThesisDraft, and anyone using the site. It was rewritten on 22 August 2026. The previous version described a written-thesis service withdrawn on 17 August 2026 and said nothing about the checks, which are what the site now offers; § 7 covers what remains of the withdrawn service.

§ 1 — What this service is

1.1. ThesisDraft provides automated checks that analyse a text and report statistical properties of it (the "Analysis Tools"): an AI-detection check, a plagiarism and citation check, and a watermark and hidden-character check.

1.2. The Analysis Tools do not write, rewrite, paraphrase, or produce academic work. No output of this site is intended to be submitted as anybody's own work, because no output of this site is academic work.

1.3. The same tool, the same verdict and the same published error rate are available to a student before submission and to an examiner afterwards. There is no student edition and no institutional edition, and no result differs by who is looking at it.

1.4. The Service Provider does not sell, and will not build, any means of evading a detector. Where a report marks filler, hedging or tired transitions in a Client's own sentences and suggests plainer wording, that is editorial advice of the kind a writing centre gives; nothing is rewritten for the Client. Where a text is largely machine-written, rewording does not address the problem and the Service Provider says so rather than selling a rewrite.

§ 2 — No result is proof of authorship

No result produced by any Analysis Tool — or by any other AI detector — is proof that a text was, or was not, written by a person. A result is a reason to ask a question. It is never, by itself, a reason to conclude an answer, and it must not be used as evidence that someone cheated.

2.1. The Analysis Tools measure statistical properties of text, not authorship. They cannot observe who typed a sentence, and no available technology can.

2.2. Human writing that is formal, tightly structured, or produced by an author writing in a second language shares many statistical properties with machine-generated text. Published research finds that detectors of this kind flag non-native writers at markedly higher rates. This is a known and measured property of the technology, not a shortcoming particular to this implementation.

2.3. The Service Provider publishes, at thesisdraft.com/accuracy, the measured rate at which verified human-written academic text receives each verdict, together with the corpus and the script behind each figure. Those rates are measured on English and German corpora. No such rate has been measured for French or Spanish, and none is stated for them.

2.4. A verdict without its error rate is not information. Anyone relying on a result from this or any other detector — a student, a supervisor, an examination board — should read the error rate for the relevant language and document length before drawing any conclusion from it.

2.5. The Service Provider expressly disclaims any endorsement of the use of a Result as evidence in an academic misconduct proceeding, and will not provide expert certification, attestation, or testimony that a text was machine-generated.

§ 3 — Limits of each check

3.1. Free of charge, the Analysis Tools read the first 1,500 words of a document. A result covering part of a document says nothing about the rest, and the result states the proportion analysed.

3.2. No verdict is issued on a text shorter than 300 words, because below that length the Service Provider cannot state an error rate for it.

3.3. The plagiarism and citation check does not compare a text against the web or against any publication database. It reports quoted passages that appear without a nearby citation, passages repeated within the Client's own document, and standard academic formulations. It does not produce a similarity percentage and it is not a substitute for the similarity check an institution runs. A clean result from it does not mean an institutional check will return one.

3.4. The watermark and hidden-character check reports invisible Unicode characters, mixed-alphabet words and document metadata. It does not detect the statistical watermarks embedded in generated text by some providers of generative artificial intelligence, and at the date of this document no publicly available tool does. Removing invisible characters is formatting hygiene; it does not remove such a watermark and does not change what any detector concludes about a text.

3.5. The AI corpora against which the Analysis Tools were calibrated are limited in size and drawn from a small number of model families. A model that has not been tested may behave differently.

§ 4 — What the Client is responsible for

4.1. The Client remains solely responsible for the academic integrity of any work they submit, and for compliance with the examination regulations (Prüfungsordnungen), honour codes and integrity policies of their own institution. The Service Provider has no knowledge of those rules and does not advise on them.

4.2. A result from an Analysis Tool is not a permission, a clearance, or a certificate. A favourable result does not make otherwise impermissible conduct permissible, and does not protect the Client from the consequences of it.

4.3. The Client is responsible for verifying independently any citation, reference, or factual statement in their own work. Where the plagiarism and citation check reports that a reference could not be located in Crossref, the German National Library or K10plus, that is a prompt to check, not a finding that the reference is fabricated.

4.4. Where a third party — a supervisor, an examiner, an institution — runs a check on a Client's work, that third party is likewise responsible for how they interpret and act on the result, and § 2 applies to them without modification.

§ 5 — No professional or legal advice

5.1. Nothing on the Platform constitutes legal advice, academic counselling, or any regulated advisory service. The Service Provider is not an educational institution, an academic advisor, or a legal practitioner.

5.2. Guidance published on the Platform, including blog articles and structure templates, is general information. It is not tailored to any individual's circumstances and should not be relied upon as if it were.

5.3. The Platform links to and cites third-party sources. The Service Provider does not endorse, warrant, or accept responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or availability of third-party content.

§ 6 — Limitation of liability

6.1. The limitations and exclusions of liability set out in § 14 of the Terms of Service apply in full to this Disclaimer and are incorporated by reference. In particular, liability is unlimited for injury to life, body or health, and for willful misconduct and gross negligence.

6.2. Subject to § 6.1, the Service Provider is not liable for any consequence of a Result being relied upon as proof of authorship, contrary to § 2, whether that reliance is by the Client or by a third party.

6.3. Subject to § 6.1, the Service Provider is not liable for academic misconduct proceedings, grade penalties, examination disqualification, suspension, expulsion, degree revocation, reputational damage, or lost career opportunities.

6.4. Statutory rights of consumers within the meaning of § 13 BGB, and liability under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), are unaffected by this section.

§ 7 — Reference Material ordered before 17 August 2026

7.1. Until 17 August 2026 the Service Provider offered a written academic reference document ("Reference Material"). It was withdrawn from sale on that date and is no longer offered. This section is retained because a Client who paid for it before that date may still collect it.

7.2. Reference Material was supplied exclusively as a research reference, a structural template, a source of bibliographic leads, and an illustration of the expected standard of academic writing.

7.3. It was expressly not supplied for submission, in whole or in part, to any educational institution as the Client's own original work, nor for incorporation into the Client's own work without substantial independent contribution, nor for resale or redistribution.

7.4. The Service Provider gave no warranty that Reference Material was free from error, that its sources were exhaustive, that it met the requirements of any particular institution, or that its use would produce any particular academic outcome. Sole responsibility for the use made of it rests, and rested, with the Client.
