Terms of Use

Effective Date: January 2026

anvay is a free and open-source web application for topic modelling and interpretive analysis of text corpora. By using this site, you agree to the following terms.

1. Use at Your Own Risk

anvay is provided “as is” with no warranty of any kind. The developers and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence are not responsible for any loss, inaccuracy, or results generated by the application. Topic models are probabilistic outputs — they should be interpreted critically, not treated as definitive findings.

2. Uploaded Content

You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to upload and process any text you submit. Do not upload sensitive, confidential, or proprietary material. Uploaded files are deleted immediately after processing; result files are automatically deleted two hours after generation. No data is retained beyond these windows.

3. Acceptable Use

anvay is intended for research, educational, and scholarly use. Automated submissions, attempts to circumvent rate limits, or use of the platform to process unlawfully obtained material are not permitted.

4. License and Attribution

anvay is released under the MIT License. If you use anvay in a scholarly publication, please cite it — details are on the About page.

5. Availability

This application may be updated, modified, or taken offline at any time without notice. Continued use constitutes acceptance of these terms.
