Terms of Service

1. Description of Service

AutoPublish is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that uses artificial intelligence to generate SEO-optimized blog content and publish it to WordPress websites via the WordPress REST API. The Service is intended for marketing agencies and individuals managing one or more WordPress sites.

2. Account Registration

To use AutoPublish, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use AutoPublish to:

• Generate content that violates applicable laws or regulations
• Produce spam, misleading content, or content intended to deceive readers
• Publish to websites without authorization from the site owner
• Generate content that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights
• Attempt to circumvent Google's Webmaster Guidelines in a deceptive manner
• Resell or sublicense access to the Service without written permission
• Use the Service to harm, harass, or defraud others

We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms without notice or refund.

4. Content Ownership and Responsibility

All content generated by AutoPublish on your behalf is owned by you. You are solely responsible for:

• The accuracy and legality of content published to your WordPress sites
• Reviewing AI-generated content before publication (or accepting responsibility for auto-published content)
• Ensuring the content complies with the terms of service of WordPress and any third-party platforms
• Any claims arising from the content published using AutoPublish

AutoPublish is a tool, not a publisher. We do not review content before it is published.

5. Billing and Payment

AutoPublish is a subscription-based service billed monthly or annually via Lemon Squeezy. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method.

• Free trial: 7-day free trial on all plans. No credit card required to start.
• Cancellation: You may cancel at any time. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds: We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on first purchases. Subsequent periods are non-refundable.
• Plan changes: Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

6. Service Availability

We aim for 99.5% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Scheduled maintenance will be announced in advance when possible. We are not liable for losses resulting from service downtime or interruptions.

7. Third-Party Services

AutoPublish integrates with third-party services including OpenAI, Pexels, Supabase, and Lemon Squeezy. Your use of these integrations is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the actions or availability of third-party services.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that AI-generated content will be accurate, free of errors, or suitable for any particular purpose. We do not guarantee that content generated by AutoPublish will rank in search engines or achieve specific traffic results.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AutoPublish and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, or damage to your website or business reputation.

Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 3 months preceding the claim.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these terms. Upon termination, your access to the Service will cease immediately. Content already published to your WordPress sites will not be removed.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a notice in the dashboard. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
