Disclaimer

Last updated: July 28, 2026  ·  Please read carefully before using this Service

1. Nature of the Service

Own A Sentence is a user-generated content platform. The sentences displayed on ownasentence.com are submitted by individual users from around the world. Each sentence represents the personal view, experience, opinion, or expression of the individual who submitted it.

The sentences displayed on this website do not represent the views, opinions, beliefs, values, or positions of Own A Sentence, its operators, employees, or affiliates. We make no representations about the accuracy, truthfulness, completeness, or reliability of any user-submitted sentence.

2. Content responsibility

Each user who purchases a sentence slot is entirely and solely responsible for the content of their sentence. While we operate a multi-layer moderation system — including automated blacklist checking, keyword filtering, and human review — we cannot guarantee that every displayed sentence complies with all applicable laws, standards, or community expectations at all times.

Moderation is applied before publication. However:

  • Automated systems are not infallible and may occasionally miss context-dependent violations;
  • Some sentences may be ambiguous and pass moderation while being objectionable to certain readers;
  • Laws and community standards vary across jurisdictions and evolve over time;
  • We cannot review the full context of every sentence or verify factual claims made in submitted sentences.

If you believe a sentence violates our Terms of Service, applicable law, or is otherwise harmful, please report it immediately to: Contact. We investigate all credible reports.

3. No professional advice

Nothing on this website — including any sentence submitted by any user — constitutes or should be construed as:

  • Legal advice or legal opinion;
  • Financial, investment, or tax advice;
  • Medical, health, or clinical advice;
  • Psychological or psychiatric advice or treatment;
  • Professional advice of any other kind.

Sentences are personal expressions. You should not rely on any sentence on this website as a substitute for professional advice specific to your circumstances. Always consult a qualified professional before making decisions based on information you encounter online.

4. External links

Some sentences may contain optional URLs linking to third-party websites provided by the sentence's author. Own A Sentence has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy practices, security, or availability of those external websites.

The inclusion of a link to an external website does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or approval by Own A Sentence of that website or its content. We are not liable for any loss, damage, or harm arising from your use of any external website linked from this Service.

External links are provided by users and are not verified by us. You access external links at your own risk.

5. Mental health and sensitive content

This Service is designed to capture the full range of honest human expression. Some sentences may address difficult or sensitive topics including:

  • Grief, loss, and bereavement;
  • Mental health challenges, including depression and anxiety;
  • Financial hardship or failure;
  • Relationship difficulties;
  • Trauma, illness, or other distressing personal experiences.

This content is part of the authentic human record we are building and is not intended to cause harm. However, if you are currently experiencing a mental health crisis or are in distress, please seek professional support:

  • UK: Samaritans — 116 123 (free, 24/7) or samaritans.org
  • US: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 or 988lifeline.org
  • International: befrienders.org — directory of crisis centres worldwide

6. Accuracy of statistics

Statistics displayed on this website — including the number of sentences sold, total revenue, and percentage of slots claimed — are generated in real time from our database and are intended to be accurate. Minor discrepancies may occur during database maintenance, high traffic periods, or system updates. These statistics are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial representations or guarantees.

7. "As is" service

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that:

  • The Service will be available continuously or without interruption;
  • The Service will be error-free or free of bugs;
  • Any defects will be corrected;
  • The Service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components;
  • Displayed sentences are accurate, truthful, or appropriate for all audiences.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Own A Sentence and its operators shall not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from:

  • Your use of, or inability to use, this Service;
  • Any sentence or content displayed on the Service;
  • Your reliance on any information encountered through the Service;
  • Unauthorised access to or alteration of your data;
  • Any other matter relating to the Service.

This includes, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages. Our maximum aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid ($10.00 USD).

9. Jurisdiction and consumer rights

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to, and nothing shall, exclude or limit any rights that you may have under applicable mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction. Where local law provides you with rights that cannot be excluded or limited by contract, those rights are unaffected by this Disclaimer.
