strawbi

Terms of Service

Effective 17 October 2026

These are the terms for using strawbi. They're written to be read. If something isn't clear, email [email protected] before you rely on it.

1. Who's who

“strawbi”, “we” and “us” mean Carte Ltd, registered in England and Wales (company number 15322902), 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. “You” means the person or company with the account. By creating an account you agree to these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy. If you're signing up for a company, you confirm you can bind it.

2. What strawbi does

strawbi crawls websites you add, keeps a record of their pages over time, and reports on how readable they are for the automated crawlers that AI assistants use. We read only publicly reachable pages and follow each site's robots.txt. strawbi is a monitoring tool: it reports what it found, and it can be wrong, late or incomplete. It doesn't change your website, and it doesn't promise any outcome with any search engine or AI assistant.

3. Your account

  • You sign in with Google. Keep that account secure; what happens in your strawbi account is your responsibility.
  • You must be at least 18 and able to enter a contract.
  • One person can share a workspace with colleagues later; for now each account has its own.

4. The sites you add

  • You may add any publicly reachable website. Until you prove you control it (a DNS record or a meta tag), we crawl it with a smaller page limit.
  • You must not use strawbi to put load on, probe, or gather information about a website in a way that its owner would reasonably object to. Our crawler is slow and polite by design; don't try to work around that.
  • If a site owner asks us to stop crawling their site, we will, and we may remove it from your account.

5. Your data

Everything we record for a site you added is shown only to your account. You can remove a site at any time and we delete what we recorded. Web pages belong to whoever published them; strawbi gives you a copy for monitoring your own site, not a licence to republish anyone else's content.

6. Price

strawbi is free while we build it. If we introduce paid plans we'll tell account holders by email at least 30 days before anything is charged, and nothing you already have will be switched off without notice.

7. Leaving

Remove your sites and stop using the service at any time; email us to have the account itself deleted. We can close accounts that break these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, and we'll say why unless the law stops us.

8. The service

We work to keep strawbi running, but it's provided “as is”. We don't promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that a crawl will find every page, or that our readability checks match what any particular assistant does. We may change or discontinue features; if we discontinue the service we'll give at least 30 days' notice.

9. Liability

Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law says can't be limited. Otherwise, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability to you in any twelve months is capped at the greater of what you paid us in that period and £100.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. If a change matters, we'll email account holders at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use strawbi after that means you accept the change.

11. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction, without taking away any rights you have as a consumer where you live. Questions: [email protected].
