Terms of Service

Last Updated: February 28, 2026

Please read carefully: These Terms of Service (these "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "your") and HypeCut ("we", "us", or "our").

These Terms govern your access to and use of our websites where these Terms are posted (the "Sites") and our related content, products, and services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service in any manner, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by any applicable supplemental or third-party terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service and must immediately cease all access to and use of the Sites. Any use of the Service is subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. Changes to the Terms and the Service

We may update these Terms from time to time, in our sole discretion, including to reflect changes in features, technologies, applicable laws, or business practices. Where required by law, we will provide notice of material changes through the Service or by other reasonable means. Unless otherwise stated, updated Terms become effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, and without liability to you, to the extent permitted by law.

2. Intellectual Property and License

Except for User-Generated Content, the Service, including all software, algorithms, AI models, interfaces, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

No rights are granted to you other than those expressly stated in these Terms. Any unauthorized use of the Service may result in termination of your access and potential legal action.

3. Eligibility and Child Safety

3.1 Eligibility (Access Restriction)

The Service is intended exclusively for individuals who are at least the minimum age required by applicable law (for example, eighteen (18) years old). Individuals under the minimum age required by applicable law are strictly prohibited from accessing or using the Service under any circumstances.

If you are at least 18 years old but have not yet reached the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement, consent, and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

3.2 Child Safety & Zero-Tolerance Policy

HypeCut maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) and exploitation. Although our Service is designed for personal content generation, we strictly prohibit the use of our AI models and workflows to generate, edit, or process any content that sexualizes minors—whether real, fictional, generated, implied, or suggested.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Prohibited Content: You will not use the Service to input, generate, or output any material that depicts children in a sexualized manner or relates to child exploitation, abuse, or endangerment.
  • No Distribution: While HypeCut does not provide social sharing features, using our tools to create CSAM for the purpose of storing or distributing it elsewhere is a violation of these Terms and applicable laws.

3.3 Technical Safeguards & Enforcement

We prioritize safety by design. We strictly control the content generation process to prevent the creation of harmful material from the outset.

  • Curated Workflows & Template Restrictions: Our Service operates on pre-set, curated templates and workflows. We provide guided creation flows (including templates and step-by-step tools) with technical safeguards and usage limits. The Service is not intended to be a general-purpose, unrestricted content generation platform. These workflows are specifically designed and tested to prevent the generation of content that depicts minors in compromised or sexualized scenarios.
  • AI Partner Compliance: We collaborate with leading AI technology providers to ensure safety at the model level. We utilize the underlying safety filters and content moderation APIs provided by these partners to automatically detect, block, and refuse inputs that violate child safety standards.
  • Reporting to Authorities: We do not access or inspect private content stored on your device or uploaded to the Site. However, we (and/or our AI partners) may apply automated safety signals during upload, processing, or generation. If those safety systems flag suspected CSAM-related activity, we may take enforcement action and make reports to NCMEC and/or law enforcement where legally required.
  • Account Termination: Any user found attempting to jailbreak, reverse-engineer, or misuse our restricted workflows to generate CSAM will be permanently banned from HypeCut without notice.

3.4 Global Resources and Cooperation

We are committed to the global fight against child exploitation. We reference the standards set by international child protection organizations. If you encounter child exploitation content online or need support, we encourage you to refer to the following organizations:

4. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the Service in any manner that could harm us, other users, or third parties.

Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:

  • Violating any applicable law, regulation, or court order;
  • Uploading, generating, or processing content that is illegal, misleading, abusive, obscene, hateful, violent, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited under these Terms;
  • Infringing or misappropriating the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person or entity;
  • Attempting to bypass, disable, or interfere with technical safeguards, security mechanisms, or usage limits of the Service;
  • Reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract source code or underlying models, except to the extent expressly permitted by law;
  • Using automated systems, bots, or scraping techniques to access or collect data from the Service without our prior written permission;
  • Uploading malware, viruses, or other harmful code, or using the Service to transmit spam or unsolicited communications;
  • Sharing your account credentials or allowing unauthorized third parties to access the Service through your account;
  • Any other content or conduct that violates applicable laws or regulations, or fails to comply with applicable laws, platform rules, or known regulatory requirements.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC)

The Service allows you to upload or submit certain materials, including images and videos ("User-Generated Content" or "UGC"). You retain all ownership rights in your User-Generated Content, subject to the licenses granted herein.

The Service provides access only to pre-set, curated templates and workflows. The Service is not a social network or content-sharing platform.

Processed results may be downloaded by you for your personal use. The Service does not provide functionality for public posting, on-site publishing, or sharing of User-Generated Content with other users.

By submitting User-Generated Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and temporarily store such content solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and improving the Service (excluding training machine learning models on your User-Generated Content unless you provide explicit consent). We do not use User-Generated Content to train machine learning models unless you provide explicit consent, as further described in our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your User-Generated Content and represent that you have obtained all necessary rights, permissions, and consents to submit and process such content through the Service.

6. Generative AI Features

The Service may include features that rely on automated, algorithmic, or artificial intelligence-based processes ("AI Features"). Content you provide ("Input") and content generated or transformed by the Service ("Output") are treated as User-Generated Content for purposes of these Terms.

6.1 Nature of the AI Features and Output Limitations

You acknowledge that AI-generated or AI-transformed Outputs are produced automatically and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or unexpected results. Outputs may not be unique and may resemble content generated for other users. Accordingly, you should independently review and verify any Output before relying on it.

The Service does not provide professional, legal, medical, or other regulated advice. You agree that you will not rely on any Output for decisions requiring professional judgment and that you use all Outputs at your own risk.

6.2 Content Safety, Withheld Results, and Credit Restoration

Without limiting Section 4 (Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct), we use automated measures to help detect and prevent the generation or display of content that may violate these Terms (including our content rules), including objectionable content. If our systems determine that a generation request or result violates these Terms, we may show a notice and withhold the display of the result.

Where applicable and as described on-site, if a result is withheld due to automated safety enforcement (or in certain technical error scenarios), we may restore the Gems used for that generation to your account balance. Any such restoration is not a cash refund and does not create any entitlement to a monetary refund from us.

The template pages and generated-result pages include a visible "Report" button that allows you to report objectionable content.

7. Payments and Refunds

7.1 One-Time Purchases

The Service offers paid features through one-time, non-refundable purchases of usage tokens ("Gems"). Prices and available offerings may vary and will be disclosed at the time of purchase.

7.2 Payment Processing

Payments are handled by secure third-party billing services. By making a purchase, you agree to their terms and conditions. We do not store your full payment card data.

7.3 Final Sale

All purchases of Gems are final. Once Gems are credited to your account, they are considered "consumed" in the sense of the purchase being complete. No refunds will be issued for unused Gems except where mandated by local consumer protection laws.

7.4 Credit Restoration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, at our sole discretion, restore or credit Gems to your account balance in certain situations (for example, if a generation request is withheld due to automated safety enforcement or technical errors). Any such restoration is not a cash refund, has no monetary value, and is non-transferable.

7.5 Account Deletion

If you choose to delete your account, any remaining Gems in your balance will be forfeited without compensation.

8. Privacy, Data Protection, GDPR, and CCPA

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to data portability.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of certain data practices, where applicable.

Requests to exercise applicable data protection rights may be submitted as described in our Privacy Policy. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any Output will meet your expectations or requirements.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100), whichever is greater, unless otherwise required by law.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if continued access would expose us to legal or regulatory risk.

Upon termination, all licenses granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease, and you must discontinue all use of the Service.
