What you agree to when you publish

You write about your work. EchoPage renders it as one very small page per content language at qa1-echopage.orkcom-tech.cc/{locale}/u/{handle}, publishes the same content at its own machine addresses — .md, .json, .jsonld — embeds a JSON-LD graph in the page, and on publish submits the canonical URLs to IndexNow and the sitemap.

That is the whole service: an artifact, and its distribution.

What an AI cites, what an index accepts, how it ranks and how much traffic follows are decisions taken inside other companies’ systems, and no particular outcome inside them is warranted here. The crawl counter reports what actually happened: it is a measurement. Where any other page on this site conflicts with these terms, these terms govern.

An account is one person and one email address you control. Sign-in identity is handled by Zitadel. Keep access to that email: it is the route back into the account.

You are responsible for everything published under your handle, including anything published by someone you gave access to.

Handles are first come, first served, and some are reserved. If you change yours, the old address permanently redirects to the new one — which matters more here than elsewhere, because an answer that already cited the old URL depends on that redirect continuing to work.

A price shown on the pricing page is an invitation to treat and not a binding offer: displaying it creates no contract and no obligation on either side.

The price, the billing terms and the notice given before a first charge are published before that charge is made.

A profile here is a public, structured, machine-readable claim about a real person’s competence, written so that a model will repeat it. That is what makes it worth publishing, and it is exactly what makes misuse expensive.

You may not:

• Publish about anyone but yourself, unless that person has actually authorised you. No pretending to be another person or business, and no claiming an employer, affiliation or partnership you do not have.
• Claim credentials you do not hold. In regulated work — medicine, law, finance and the rest — a false licence in a machine-readable page is not marketing copy. It is a statement someone may act on before a human ever reads it.
• Publish another person’s personal data as though it were your own profile.
• Publish unlawful content, malware, or anything you have no right to publish.
• Mass-produce profiles or game an index — bulk near-identical pages, keyword stuffing, fabricated services. The distribution channel works only for as long as it is not abused.

Impersonation does not only harm the person impersonated. It poisons the domain. These pages are trusted by indexes and models partly because of the host they sit on; the moment pages under this host are found to be unreliable, every honest profile hosted here loses precisely the thing it was published for. That shared exposure is why impersonation is grounds for immediate removal rather than a warning.

Profiles are moderated, and a profile can be suspended. A suspended profile stops being publicly eligible: the page stops being served and its machine representations stop resolving, while the stored version is kept rather than destroyed.

Grounds: a breach of section 04, a credible report from the person being impersonated, a lawful demand, or abuse that threatens delivery for everyone else on the host.

What you are owed. Where a takedown is not urgent, you are told what was wrong and given a chance to fix it and re-publish. Where it is urgent — impersonation, illegal content, an active threat to delivery — the page comes down first and the explanation follows.

The Free tier hosts one profile for 10 days. On day 10 the page is taken down and the address answers HTTP 404.

Nothing is deleted. Your page is moved into storage that is not served to anyone, and it stays there. Pay within three months and it is moved back — the same page, at the same address, without republishing it.

404 rather than 410 is the reason it can come back. 410 means gone permanently, and we do not mean that while the page can still return. The address answers HTTP 410 Gone only once the page really is gone: after three months without payment, or immediately if you ask us to delete it. At that point the handle is retired and nobody else can take it.

What that means for you: anything that already cited your free page points at a page that is down from day 10 on. Keeping a page quotable means keeping it published.

While a Free page is live it carries a “Powered by EchoPage” badge.

Publishing is not only writing a file here. It submits your canonical URLs to IndexNow, which passes them to participating search engines, and lists them in the sitemap so retrieval systems find them without waiting to stumble across them. That is the point of the product, and it has a consequence worth reading before you press publish.

Once a URL has gone out, who fetches it, what they store, how long they keep it and whether they show it are decisions made by other companies, in their systems.

Unpublishing withdraws the page from here. The public pointer comes down and the address stops serving, which is the whole of what happens on this side.

Removal from an index, a cache or an archive is a separate request — one you make to each of them, on their own terms and their own timetable. Some copies stay: a model trained on a page does not hold the page, it holds what it learned from it. That is what publishing on the open web has always meant, and it is worth deciding on before you press publish rather than after.

The service is provided without an uptime commitment, a service level or a support commitment, and it can change or be withdrawn.

If it is shut down deliberately, account holders are told in advance and your content stays readable in the editor for you to copy out. What you can ask for about your stored data is in the privacy notice.

The service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, there is no liability for indirect or consequential loss — lost business, lost rankings, lost citations, lost or corrupted data — arising from use of the service, and none for what third-party indexes, crawlers or models do with a page you chose to publish.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and for fraud.

Consumer rights are not waived by this page. Where you are a consumer, the mandatory law of the country you live in applies whatever a website says.

These terms change as the service changes. Material changes are told to account holders rather than quietly edited in.

One address, for everything: [email protected].

Questions about the service, about your account, or about a bill. Requests to see, correct, export or delete what is held about you. And reports about a page: if a profile published here uses your name, your work or your likeness, write to that address and say so — you do not need an account here to do it, and you should not have to make one to object to a page about yourself.

A verification email from us is only ever sent from [email protected]. Nothing else does. We never ask for your password by email, and no message from us needs you to send one back.
