Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Distinct. They govern your use of the Distinct website and application, together with any pages you publish through it.

By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. If you are using it on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization, and the word you means that organization.

Our handling of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this agreement.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the service. You must not use it if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, or if we have previously terminated your account.

3. Private beta

Distinct is currently in private beta. That has real consequences you should read carefully:

• Features may change, break, or be removed without notice.
• The service may be unavailable at times, and we offer no uptime commitment or service level agreement during the beta.
• Data may be migrated or, in exceptional cases, reset as we develop the product. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
• Beta access may be limited, suspended, or ended at our discretion.

We will give you reasonable notice before any change that would permanently delete your content, where circumstances allow.

4. Your account

You sign in through Google. You are responsible for keeping access to that account secure, and for everything that happens under your account.

You agree to give accurate information and to keep it current. Tell us promptly at hello@trydistinct.app if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

You may delete your account at any time from settings.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of everything you upload or create in the service: your profile, media kit, links, brand profile, campaign data, messages, and files. We claim no ownership over it.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for display, and transmit your content, strictly for the purpose of operating and providing the service to you. For content on a page you choose to publish, that licence extends to displaying it publicly and allowing search engines to index it. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups for a limited period.

You are responsible for your content. You confirm you have the rights to it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or break any law. This includes content you publish about brands or creators you have worked with.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Break the law, or use the service to help anyone else break the law.
• Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Misrepresent your identity, your audience, your engagement figures, or your relationship with a brand or creator.
• Upload malware, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service, other accounts, or our infrastructure.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service, or bypass any access control or rate limit, other than through a security disclosure to us in good faith.
• Scrape or bulk-extract data from the service by automated means, except for the public pages that our robots.txt permits crawling.
• Resell, sublicense, or offer the service to third parties as your own.
• Use the service to send unsolicited bulk messages.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that breach this section.

7. Creator and brand partnerships

Distinct is a tool for organizing your own work. We are not a party to any agreement you reach with another user, we are not an agent, manager, employer, or representative of any creator or brand, and we do not process payments between users.

Any deal you strike is between you and the other party. That includes the scope of work, deliverables, rates, timelines, payment, disclosure and advertising compliance, taxes, and any dispute that follows. You are each responsible for meeting the advertising and disclosure rules that apply to you, including labelling paid partnerships.

We do not verify the identity, audience figures, or claims of any user, and a verification badge in the product is not a warranty about that user. Use your own judgement before entering into a partnership.

8. Published pages

Media kits, link in bio pages, brand profiles, and campaign recaps are published at your choice. When you publish one, it becomes reachable by anyone with the link, may be listed in our public directories, and may be indexed by search engines and read by AI answer engines.

You can unpublish at any time, which removes the page from our directories and returns a not-found response. We cannot remove copies already cached or archived by third parties.

You are responsible for what you publish, including any figures, brand names, or logos you display. Only display a brand's marks where you have permission to do so.

9. AI features

Some features use an AI model to draft text or suggest matches. When you use one, the content needed for that request is sent to our model provider from our servers to produce a result.

AI output can be wrong, incomplete, or misleading. It is a draft, not advice. Review anything the AI produces before you send it, publish it, or rely on it, and do not treat it as legal, financial, or tax advice. You remain responsible for anything you send or publish, whether or not the AI drafted it.

10. Third-party services

The service connects to third parties, including Google for sign-in and public data sources for social metrics. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for them, for their availability, or for the accuracy of data they return.

Metrics retrieved from public social profiles are supplied as they are found and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Do not treat them as audited figures.

11. Fees

Distinct is free to use during the private beta. We may introduce paid plans in future. If we do, we will tell you in advance, and no charge will be made without your agreement to the new terms and a clear opportunity to decline.

12. Our intellectual property

The service itself, including the software, design, and the Distinct name and logo, belongs to us and our licensors. These terms give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the service while your account is active. They give you no right to copy, modify, or create derivative works from the service, or to use our brand without written permission.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely and without obligation to you.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the service. Where circumstances allow, we will give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to export your content.

On termination, your right to use the service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive, including content licences already granted for published pages, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law, survive termination.

14. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that any data, metric, or AI output it produces is accurate or complete.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither we nor our suppliers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred United States dollars. During the private beta, when the service is free, this means our aggregate liability is limited to one hundred United States dollars.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

16. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your content, your use of the service, your breach of these terms, or your dealings with another user.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India for any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the service.

If you have a mandatory right to bring proceedings in the courts of your own country of residence as a consumer, this section does not take that right away.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us at hello@trydistinct.app. Most issues are resolved quickly that way.

18. General

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the service, and replace any earlier agreement on the same subject.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force and that provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

You may not transfer these terms or your account to anyone else without our written consent. We may transfer them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product changes. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. If a change is material, we will give you notice in the product or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the service and delete your account.
