The agreement
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between fangorn.tech, a One Person Company incorporated under the laws of India with its registered office at fangorn.tech (the "Company", "we", "us", or "our"), and you, the individual or entity accessing or using viralcutoff ("you", "your").
By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, which are incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service
viralcutoff is a software-as-a-service product that scrapes public posts from TikTok and Instagram, ranks them by view count over rolling 24-hour windows, applies a user-configured view threshold per keyword, and delivers a daily email digest of qualifying posts at approximately 02:00 Pacific Time (the "Service").
The Service relies on third-party data sources, scraping infrastructure, and email-delivery providers. We do not own, control, or guarantee the availability, accuracy, completeness, or legality of the third-party content surfaced in the digest. Posts may be removed, edited, or made private by their authors at any time, in which case links in past digests may stop working.
We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service, including the keyword slot count, threshold ranges, delivery schedule, or supported sources. We will use reasonable efforts to communicate material changes that affect paying customers.
Accounts & eligibility
To use the Service you must (a) be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, (b) have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract, and (c) not be barred from using the Service under applicable law.
You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at phani@fangorn.tech of any unauthorised use.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information at sign-up and to keep that information updated. Sharing a single account across multiple individuals or organisations is not permitted.
Subscription & billing
The Service is provided on a paid monthly subscription basis at the price displayed on the pricing page in United States Dollars (USD), exclusive of any applicable VAT, GST, sales tax, or similar indirect taxes, which will be added at checkout where required by law.
Merchant of Record
All payments for the Service are processed by Paddle.com Market Limited and its affiliates ("Paddle"), who act as the Merchant of Record for this transaction. Paddle is responsible for managing the transaction, including the collection and remittance of applicable sales taxes, the issuance of tax invoices, and the handling of chargebacks and refunds initiated by you. By subscribing you also agree to Paddle's own customer terms, which are published on paddle.com.
Auto-renewal
Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorise Paddle to charge your payment method on each renewal until cancellation.
Price changes
We may change the subscription price at any time. Any price change will apply to billing periods that begin at least thirty (30) days after we provide notice to you by email or in-product. Continued use of the Service after the new price takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price.
Refunds
Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service to violate any law, regulation, or third-party right, including intellectual property, privacy, and platform terms of service of TikTok or Instagram.
- Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or republish the digest content or any output of the Service as your own commercial product.
- Scrape, mirror, or otherwise systematically extract data from the Service, including the dashboard, the email digests, or any public landing surface.
- Interfere with the Service's operation, including by introducing malware, attempting to gain unauthorised access, probing for vulnerabilities, or imposing an unreasonable load on infrastructure.
- Use the Service to track, surveil, or profile a specific individual in a manner that would violate privacy or anti-stalking laws.
- Submit keywords intended to surface child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, terrorist content, or any content unlawful in India or in your jurisdiction.
We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without prior notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated this section.
Third-party content & links
The Service displays metadata about, and links to, public posts on TikTok and Instagram. All such content is owned by its respective creators and platforms. We make no claim of ownership over any third-party content and provide it for informational and discoverability purposes only.
Following a link out of the digest takes you to a third-party website governed by that site's own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site.
Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, branding, copy, and ranking methodology, is owned by the Company and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business use.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Service or any related intellectual property to you. You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notice from the Service or the digests.
Termination
You may cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard or by writing to phani@fangorn.tech. Cancellation stops future renewals; you will retain access until the end of the billing period you have already paid for, after which your account will be downgraded.
We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if continued provision of the Service to you would expose us to material risk. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends and we may delete your account data subject to our Privacy Policy and any legal retention obligations.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted availability.
We do not warrant that the Service will surface every viral post, that view counts reported by upstream platforms are accurate, that digests will be delivered on time on any given day, or that emails will not be classified as spam by your inbox provider. The Service is a best-effort signal tool, not a source of record.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service.
Our aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States Dollars (USD 100).
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, including platform terms of service, intellectual property rights, or privacy rights.
Governing law & dispute resolution
These Terms, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of India, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Subject to the right of either party to seek urgent injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in India.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify you by email or in-product before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Miscellaneous
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms freely in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
