Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Dodly ("Dodly," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the Dodly mobile application, website, APIs, and related software, content, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or clicking a button to continue or sign in, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility And Authority

You must be at least 13 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you are under the age of majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" includes the organization.

2. What Dodly Provides

Dodly uses automated and artificial-intelligence systems to process links and source material and to create summaries, transcripts, tags, audio, images, short-form videos, recommendations, and related output ("Output"). The Service may also let you save, share, or request publication of Output to third-party services. Features may be experimental, incomplete, modified, or discontinued at any time.

Dodly does not provide legal, medical, financial, investment, safety, or other professional advice. Output is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only.

3. Accounts And Security

You must provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding your account and devices and for all activity under your account. You may not share access credentials, impersonate another person, create accounts through unauthorized automated means, or transfer an account without our permission. Notify us promptly at admin@dodly.app if you suspect unauthorized access. We are not responsible for losses caused by your failure to secure your account.

4. Your Submissions And Required Rights

"User Content" means links, prompts, instructions, text, media, account selections, and other material you submit or make available through the Service. You retain any ownership rights you have in User Content. You are solely responsible for User Content and for determining whether you may lawfully submit, copy, summarize, transform, download, share, or publish the underlying material.

You represent and warrant that you own User Content or have all permissions, licenses, consents, and other rights necessary for Dodly to process it as you request; that your use will comply with law and applicable third-party terms; and that User Content and requested Output will not infringe or violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contractual, or other rights. The availability of material on the internet does not mean that it is free to copy, transform, or republish. Dodly does not clear rights for you.

5. License To Operate The Service

You grant Dodly a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, create derivative works from, display, transmit, and otherwise use User Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, support, and improve the Service; fulfill your requests; enforce these Terms; and comply with law.

If you ask Dodly to share or publish Output, you also authorize Dodly to combine User Content with Dodly branding, captions, audio, visual elements, and links and to publish, distribute, promote, and make that Output available through the destinations you select, including accounts operated by Dodly. This publication license continues for as long as the published material remains available. Deleting your Dodly account does not require Dodly or a third party to recall copies already published, shared, downloaded, or lawfully retained.

We welcome feedback. If you voluntarily provide ideas or suggestions about Dodly, you authorize us to use them without restriction or compensation. This does not apply to an honest review of the Service, and nothing in these Terms limits your right to provide an honest review.

6. Output And Artificial Intelligence

AI-generated Output can be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, misleading, or unsuitable and may not reflect recent events. It may omit important context or resemble content generated for others. You must independently review and verify Output, source material, permissions, facts, and citations before relying on, sharing, or publishing it. You accept all responsibility for your use of Output and any decisions or publications based on it.

To the extent permitted by law and subject to third-party rights, Dodly does not claim ownership of Output generated specifically for you. We do not represent or warrant that Output is copyrightable, unique, non-infringing, accurate, or eligible for registration or exclusive ownership. Rights in AI-generated material may vary by jurisdiction.

7. Publishing And Third-Party Services

The Service may access, embed, link to, or interact with services such as Google, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, and other websites or platforms. Those services are independent from Dodly and are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, content rules, monetization requirements, and enforcement decisions.

When you request a publication, you instruct Dodly to transmit the selected material to the destination and represent that the material complies with that destination's rules. Publication is not guaranteed and may be delayed, rejected, altered, demonetized, muted, restricted, or removed by Dodly or the destination. Third parties may retain copies after deletion. Dodly is not responsible for third-party content, services, availability, security, acts, omissions, account actions, revenue, or data practices.

8. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to:

violate any law, regulation, court order, sanction, or third-party agreement or right;
infringe, misappropriate, or facilitate infringement of intellectual-property or proprietary rights;
create or distribute unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative, violent, privacy-invasive, or otherwise harmful content;
impersonate others, misrepresent affiliation, or create deceptive synthetic media;
upload malware, disrupt the Service, evade limits, probe security, or gain unauthorized access;
scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, extract models or data, or use automated systems except through interfaces we expressly authorize;
use Output or the Service to train or develop a competing model or service, except with our written permission; or
assist another person in doing any of the foregoing.

We may investigate suspected violations and preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect users, Dodly, or others; enforce these Terms; or comply with legal process.

9. Dodly Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, models, workflows, interfaces, design, branding, logos, and Dodly-provided content, is owned by Dodly or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, Dodly grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted. Dodly names, logos, and marks may not be used without prior written permission.

10. Copyright Complaints

We respect intellectual-property rights and may remove or disable access to material and terminate repeat infringers when appropriate. To report claimed copyright infringement, email admin@dodly.app with: identification of the copyrighted work; the exact location of the challenged material; your contact information; a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your physical or electronic signature. Knowingly submitting a materially false claim may result in liability. We may forward your notice to the affected user.

11. Suspension, Termination, And Removal

You may stop using Dodly at any time and may request account deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access; remove or decline to process content; or take protective measures if we reasonably believe there is a violation of these Terms, legal or security risk, harm to any person, a third-party request, prolonged inactivity, or a need to protect the Service. Where appropriate, we will try to provide notice. We are not obligated to preserve User Content or Output after termination.

12. Service Availability And Changes

We may add, modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, storage, publication, compatibility, or availability of any feature or content. You are responsible for keeping copies of material you need. Beta or experimental features may be changed or withdrawn without notice.

13. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." DODLY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNIQUE, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, AVAILABLE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT CONTENT WILL BE PRESERVED OR SUCCESSFULLY PUBLISHED.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you. You may have additional rights under applicable law.

14. Limitation Of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DODLY AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OPPORTUNITY, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA; COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM CONTENT, OUTPUT, PUBLICATION, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES, UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF DODLY AND THE PARTIES LISTED ABOVE FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DODLY FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

These limitations apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including any rights that applicable consumer law does not permit you to waive.

15. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dodly and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to your User Content, your requested or published Output, your violation of these Terms or law, your infringement of another party's rights, or your misuse of the Service. Dodly may control the defense and settlement of a covered claim, and you agree to cooperate. You may not settle a claim that imposes liability or obligations on Dodly without our written consent.

16. Disputes And Time Limit To Bring Claims

Before filing a formal claim, you and Dodly agree to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute, requested relief, and your contact information to admin@dodly.app. This requirement does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CLAIM ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

These Terms are governed by applicable United States federal law and the laws of the U.S. state in which Dodly has its principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms deprives you of mandatory protections of the law where you live.

17. Changes To These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, law, or our practices. We will post the revised Terms and update the date above. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice where reasonably practicable. Changes apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Your continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

18. General Terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Dodly concerning the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. Dodly's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; Dodly may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law. Dodly is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Headings are for convenience only. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, licenses necessary for prior publication, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, disputes, and general terms—will survive.
