Terms of Service

Last updated: May 11, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ViralSlideMaker (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and ViralSlideMaker.

2. Description of Service

ViralSlideMaker is an AI-powered platform that generates carousel slide content for social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The Service uses artificial intelligence to create text content and pairs it with stock photography to produce downloadable carousel images.

3. Account Registration

To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Promptly update your account information if it changes
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have parental or guardian consent to use the Service.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

ViralSlideMaker offers Free, Plus, and Pro subscription tiers. Each tier includes a monthly allocation of carousel generation credits:

  • Free: 3 credits per month
  • Plus: 50 credits per month
  • Pro: 200 credits per month

Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually). By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method through Stripe. Credits reset at the beginning of each billing cycle and do not roll over. You may cancel your subscription at any time; access continues until the end of the current billing period.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Generate content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable
  • Create misleading or deceptive content, including misinformation
  • Infringe on the intellectual property rights of others
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the Service
  • Use automated scripts or bots to access the Service in a manner that exceeds reasonable use
  • Resell, redistribute, or white-label the Service without authorization
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or engage in abusive usage patterns that degrade service quality for other users.

6. Content Ownership

Your Content

You retain ownership of the prompts and topics you submit to the Service. The carousel content generated by our AI based on your prompts is yours to use for personal and commercial purposes, including posting on social media platforms.

Stock Images

Carousel backgrounds may include stock photography sourced from Pexels. These images are provided under the Pexels license, which permits free use for personal and commercial purposes. Attribution is not required but appreciated.

Our Content

The ViralSlideMaker platform, including its design, code, templates, branding, and documentation, remains our intellectual property. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the platform itself.

7. AI-Generated Content

Content generated by ViralSlideMaker is produced by artificial intelligence and may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate. You are responsible for reviewing all generated content before publishing. We do not guarantee that AI-generated content will be free from errors, biases, or inaccuracies.

We do not use your private content or prompts to train our AI models. Your data is processed solely to generate the requested output.

7a. Style-from-Reference Generation

ViralSlideMaker offers a style-from-reference feature that lets you upload images so the Service can generate carousel slides inspired by their visual style (palette, typography, layout patterns). The output reflects aesthetic patterns drawn from the references; it is not a reproduction of the source images, brands depicted, or any individuals shown in them.

By uploading a reference image, you represent and warrant that you have the rights needed to share that image with us, and that your upload does not infringe another party’s intellectual property, publicity, or privacy rights. We are not able to provide legal advice on whether a particular image is safe to upload — that determination is yours to make.

We retain an audit record of each accepted upload (a one-way SHA-256 fingerprint of the bytes plus the version of these terms you accepted) for twelve (12) months for takedown forensics. We do not redistribute your reference images to other users, and the underlying objects are stored in a private, access-restricted bucket.

If you believe a generated carousel was produced from a reference you own and you wish to request removal, please follow the DMCA takedown procedure described in our public DMCA notice document (see docs/legal/dmca-style-references.md in the project repository, or contact the address listed there). We aim to respond within five (5) business days of a complete notice.

7b. Assumption of Liability for Reference Content

When you upload a reference image so that ViralSlideMaker can produce a carousel inspired by its visual style, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to share that image with us — including any rights held by the photographer, the subjects depicted, the trademark owners of any brands shown, and any other rights holders.

You assume full responsibility and liability for any claim, demand, loss, or expense arising from your reference upload or from any carousel that derives style cues from it. This includes, without limitation, claims of intellectual property infringement (copyright, trademark, design rights), trademark dilution, right of publicity or right of privacy claims by any person whose likeness appears in a reference, and defamation claims arising from the way you combine generated text with imagery derived from your references. ViralSlideMaker is not in a position to evaluate the rights status of every reference uploaded, and is not your legal counsel — the determination is yours to make before you upload.

Generated carousels reflect aesthetic patterns drawn from your references — palette, typography, layout rhythm — and are not reproductions of the source images, the brands depicted, or the individuals shown. We do not, however, warrant that any particular generated output is non-infringing, and you remain responsible for reviewing each carousel before you publish, distribute, or commercially use it.

We reserve the right to remove any reference upload and any derivative carousel from our systems upon receipt of a valid takedown request or for any other lawful reason, and to suspend or terminate accounts that exhibit a pattern of infringing uploads. Takedown requests should follow the DMCA process referenced in Section 7a above.

8. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service. We may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any losses resulting from service interruptions.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ViralSlideMaker shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your specific requirements or expectations.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ViralSlideMaker, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

12. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration, except where prohibited by law.
