Runway on a position read from what a plan omits
Three entries in this record reach their free-tier row the same way, and this is one of them: the phrase that appears on the paid plans does not appear on the free plan, and the cell says so in those terms. As of 2026-09-12.
| Point | What the record holds |
|---|---|
| Article 50(4), deployer disclosure | A visible mark on free-plan output, by omission from the plan table |
| Read from | A pricing page, which is a summary rather than a policy |
| What it does not settle | Why the mark exists; no reason is given anywhere |
Inclusion rule. One cell of this generator's entry, quoted from the page the entry names. Coverage, commentary and third-hand summaries are not admitted, in either direction. Order. Fixed order: the cell, the page it came off, then the limit on reading it.
1An omission is evidence of a particular weight
Summaries leave things out, and a plan table is a summary. When the reason for an omission is unknown, the honest record is the omission itself rather than the conclusion a reader would probably draw from it.
The practical effect of that discipline is small while somebody is shopping and large while somebody is documenting. A production file that has to show why a mark was or was not present wants a sentence, and there is not one to cite here.
2Neither half of the article is addressed in its own terms
The provider duty concerns a signal software can read, and nothing on the page describes one. The deployer duty concerns a disclosure to viewers, and the page describes a mark without ever framing it as a disclosure.
Both rows on this entry are therefore filled from inference about packaging rather than from the vendor's account of its own product. Saying so is the point of keeping one page per entry instead of one table for everybody.
3What a paid plan changes, and what it cannot
Buying the plan removes something a viewer could see. Whether anything else leaves the file at the same moment is not addressed, because nothing else was ever described as being in it.
So the two layers stay in separate columns on this record. A tier that removes the first has not necessarily touched the second, and on this entry the second was never documented in either direction.
