Terms of Service

Last updated: July 25, 2026

This is a working draft based on common practices for a subscription video-publishing app. Have a licensed attorney review it before relying on it as final.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Gravitek Ventures, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Platiipus," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Platiipus macOS application, this website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the authority to enter into these Terms, including on behalf of any organization you represent.

3. The Service

Platiipus lets you upload, schedule, and publish video content to third-party social media platforms (each, a "Connected Platform"), and provides related tools for managing that content. We may add, change, or remove features at any time.

The Service connects to Connected Platforms through their APIs. Your use of any Connected Platform is governed by that platform's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for Connected Platforms, and we do not guarantee that any upload, post, or scheduled action will succeed, remain available, or comply with a Connected Platform's requirements.

4. Accounts and Third-Party Connections

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@gravitekventures.com of any unauthorized use.

When you connect a Connected Platform account, you authorize us to access, use, and transmit content and data through that platform's API solely to provide the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the rights and permissions needed for those connections, and for complying with each Connected Platform's terms.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Refunds

Subscriptions. Certain features require a paid subscription. Pricing, billing frequency, and features are described at the point of purchase. Subscriptions are sold through the applicable app store (for example, the Mac App Store) and are subject to that store's terms in addition to these Terms.

Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price for the same term unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.

Cancellation. You can cancel at any time through your app store account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until then.

Refunds. Payments are generally non-refundable except where required by law or by the applicable app store's refund policy. Because purchases are processed by the app store, refund requests are handled under that store's policies.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices. We will provide notice as required by law or app store policy, and price changes apply to the next billing period after notice.

Free trials. If we offer a free trial, unless you cancel before it ends, it will convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged. Terms of any trial will be disclosed at sign-up.

6. Your Content

"User Content" means the videos, images, captions, text, and other materials you upload, create, or publish through the Service.

Ownership. You retain all ownership rights in your User Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

License to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely to operate and provide the Service — including transmitting it to the Connected Platforms you direct us to publish to. This license ends when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except for content already shared to Connected Platforms and reasonable backup copies retained for a limited period.

Your responsibility. You represent that you own or have all necessary rights to your User Content and that its publication does not violate any law or third-party right (including intellectual property, privacy, and publicity rights).

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

upload or publish content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or that exploits or endangers minors;
violate the terms, policies, or rate limits of any Connected Platform, or use the Service to send spam or engage in inauthentic or automated abuse of a Connected Platform;
infringe intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
transmit malware or attempt to disrupt, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its systems;
resell or provide the Service to third parties except as expressly permitted; or
use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe violate these Terms.

8. Intellectual Property in the Service

The Service, including its software, design, and trademarks, is owned by Platiipus and its licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted.

9. Third-Party Platforms and Services

The Service integrates with and depends on Connected Platforms and other third-party services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, content, policies, or actions, including any decision by a Connected Platform to remove content, restrict, or terminate your account. Your dealings with Connected Platforms are solely between you and them.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content licenses already granted to Connected Platforms, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute terms) will survive.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY POST OR UPLOAD TO A CONNECTED PLATFORM WILL SUCCEED.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PLATIIPUS AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR CONTENT, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Platiipus and its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute that is not subject to arbitration will be the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Optional: many app companies add a binding arbitration clause and a class-action waiver here. Whether to include one — and how to word it — is a decision to make with your attorney.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by other reasonable means. Changes take effect when posted (or on a later stated effective date). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
