Terms of Service

1. Service status

MintSlide is in an early-launch phase. Features, limits, and pricing may change. Performance and uptime may vary as we refine the product. We'll attempt to give reasonable notice of material changes, but use during this period is at your own risk.

2. Your account

You must provide a valid email address. You're responsible for your account credentials and for any activity under your account. One person per account. Don't share logins; if you need multiple seats, contact us about a team arrangement. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

3. Plans, limits, and pricing

The Service is currently free. Plan limits (decks per account, slides per deck, daily AI prompts, daily image generations) are listed on the Pricing page and are the source of truth at any given time.

We may introduce paid plans, change plan limits, change quotas, or stop offering features at any time. For paid plans, we'll give you at least 30 days' notice of pricing or material limit changes that affect you. For the free tier, we may adjust limits with shorter notice as we balance cost and reliability.

When paid plans are available, payment will be processed by a third party such as Stripe. We never see or store your card details. Failed payments will be handled per the processor's default retry schedule; if a paid plan's payment continues to fail, the account moves to a past-due state and paid features pause until billing is resolved. Refunds for partial periods aren't issued unless required by law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for anything illegal, defamatory, or that harasses, intimidates, or threatens others.
• Generate, store, or distribute content that infringes the intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights of any third party.
• Generate content depicting non-consensual sexual material, child sexual abuse material, terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, or other content prohibited by applicable law or by our AI providers' usage policies.
• Attempt to extract our prompts, models, or other users' content.
• Use the Service, its outputs, or any data derived from it to train, test, fine-tune, benchmark, or validate competing machine-learning models or artificial-intelligence systems, or to develop a competing product.
• Resell, white-label, sublicense, or commercialize the Service without our written permission.
• Bypass usage limits programmatically (scripting account creation, multi-account abuse, scraping AI capacity). One human user, one account.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, probe, or attack the Service's infrastructure or its hosting providers.
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically collect content, layouts, prompts, templates, or any other material from the Service by any automated means.
• Use the Service in any way that violates third-party AI providers' usage policies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google), which apply transitively to your use.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. For repeat or severe violations, we may delete the account immediately without refund and may report you to law enforcement where required.

5. Your content

You retain all rights to the decks and other content you create ("Your Content"). We store Your Content in your account so you can come back to it across devices. We don't train AI models on Your Content, and we don't share it with third parties beyond the AI provider used to generate a response (see the Privacy policy).

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, display, and back up Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you, to comply with law, and to enforce these Terms. This license ends when you delete the Content or the account, subject to reasonable backup retention (§12).

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to upload Your Content and to grant us this license, and that Your Content doesn't infringe any third-party right or violate any law.

6. AI-generated output

The Service uses third-party AI models to generate slides, edits, and images. AI output may be inaccurate, biased, incomplete, hallucinated, or infringing. You're responsible for reviewing, verifying, and adapting every output before presenting, publishing, or otherwise using it.

We make no representation that AI-generated content is original, accurate, factual, or non-infringing. We disclaim all liability for AI output. You assume all risk associated with using AI output, including any claims of intellectual- property infringement, defamation, or factual error arising from such use.

7. Intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, trademarks, and documentation — is owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no right to use our trademarks, name, or branding without separate written permission.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to hello@mintslide.com containing the information required under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (or your jurisdiction's equivalent). We may remove infringing content and terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.

8. Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without notice. We're not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation. If we permanently discontinue the Service, we'll attempt to give you at least 30 days' notice and a means to export Your Content.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our officers, employees, agents, and service providers from any claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your use of the Service, (b) Your Content, (c) your violation of these Terms, (d) your violation of any third-party right, or (e) any content you publish or present that incorporated AI output from the Service.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

WE DON'T GUARANTEE THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DON'T ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IN WHICH CASE THOSE EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

WE'RE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION — EVEN IF WE'VE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

12. Termination and data retention

You can request account deletion at any time from Account settings. Once you request deletion, your account is queued for permanent removal: Your Content, uploaded images, usage history, and (when applicable) subscription are removed from active systems within 30 days. Encrypted off-site backups may retain residual copies for up to a further 30 days, after which they are overwritten in the normal backup rotation.

We reserve the right to retain account data, content, or related records for longer than this where required to comply with legal obligations, respond to law- enforcement requests, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce these Terms.

Inactive accounts. For free-tier accounts, we reserve the right to terminate or delete accounts (and their content) that have not been accessed for more than 180 consecutive days, with or without prior notice. Where practical we'll attempt to send a warning to your registered email before deletion.

We may terminate or suspend your account at any time for violations of these Terms, fraud, abuse, requests by law enforcement, or as otherwise required by law. Sections 5 (license as it applies to retained backups), 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 15 survive termination.

13. Force majeure

We're not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including network outages; third-party service failures or unexpected changes or restrictions in third-party API availability, pricing, rate limits, quotas, or terms of service (including AI model providers, cloud providers, and payment processors); natural disasters; war; civil unrest; government action; or pandemics.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

You and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS or a comparable established arbitral body in Wilmington, Delaware, under its commercial arbitration rules. You waive any right to participate in a class action or representative proceeding. Either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual-property infringement without first arbitrating. If the arbitration clause is held unenforceable, exclusive jurisdiction lies in the state or federal courts of Delaware, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

15. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior understandings.

Severability. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and us.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision isn't a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and don't affect interpretation.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced via email or an in-app notice at least 30 days before they take effect (or as soon as practicable for changes required by law). Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't accept them, your remedy is to stop using the Service and delete your account.
