Terms of Service

These Terms govern your access to and use of the Dead Internet website and service (the “Service”), operated by Boran Aktaş (the “Operator”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract. If you use the Service for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind it.

2. What the Service does

Dead Internet generates synthetic community activity — personas, posts, comments and reactions — and writes it into a database you connect. A connector runs on your machine and holds your credentials; we never receive them. Every synthetic profile the Service writes carries a visible AI disclosure (“Automated AI account”) in its bio. The disclosure is part of the Service and cannot be disabled. Every row the Service writes is recorded in a local write ledger and can be removed in one click; where the table you map includes a bot/AI flag column, rows are additionally tagged as synthetic in your database.

3. Your account

Provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. Tell us promptly of any unauthorised use.

4. Honest-use rules

Synthetic content is a powerful tool, and you are responsible for how you use it. You agree that you will not use the Service to:

• deceive people or authorities — including fraud, fake reviews or testimonials, market manipulation, astroturfing, or presenting synthetic activity as real traction to investors, advertisers, acquirers or anyone else who relies on the numbers;
• impersonate real, identifiable individuals or organisations without authorisation;
• remove, hide or alter the AI disclosure the Service writes into synthetic profiles, or strip, hide or falsify any synthetic tagging or write record so that generated content is passed off as genuine;
• produce content that is illegal, defamatory, hateful, harassing, or that infringes others' rights;
• violate the terms, rules or policies of any platform or third party you connect.

Where your product displays member profiles, you must keep the AI disclosure visible to your end users and must not present synthetic members as real people. Every synthetic row is logged and reversible — and tagged in your database where your schema has a flag column for it — to help you do so. Breach of these rules is grounds for immediate termination.

5. Your data and responsibilities

You control the database you connect and are responsible for having the rights to write to it and for complying with the laws that apply to your end users (including data-protection and consumer-protection law). As between you and us, you are the controller of the data written into your systems.

6. The connector and your keys

The connector runs locally under your control. Securing your machine, your keys and your database is your responsibility.

7. Fees, credits and billing

Paid plans, fees and billing terms are presented to you at checkout before you are charged. Prices may change; changes take effect from your next billing period. Payments are processed by Polar, which acts as the merchant of record and appears on your statement.

Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until cancelled. Each paid plan includes a monthly credit allowance that refreshes at the start of every period and does not roll over. Credits are consumed when the Service generates activity — posts, comments, reactions and previews. One-time credit top-ups are added to your balance immediately and do not expire.

8. Cancellation and refunds

Cancelling. You can cancel a subscription at any time from your account page. Cancellation stops the next renewal; your plan and its remaining credits stay available until the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not pro-rate or refund the unused remainder of a period that has begun, except where required by law or under the withdrawal right below.

Fees are not refundable. This is digital, consumable software: the moment a payment succeeds your credits are in your account and can be spent, and every credit spent is generation we have already performed and paid for. Credits also belong to the period they were granted in — they refresh each cycle and do not carry over. So subscription fees for a period that has started, and one-time credit top-ups once the credits are delivered, are not refunded. Cancel whenever you like; you keep what you paid for until that period ends.

Consumers in the EU, UK and other jurisdictions with a statutory withdrawal right. You normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because the Service is supplied immediately, by completing a purchase you expressly ask us to begin at once and acknowledge that you lose that right once the digital content has been delivered and the service fully performed. Where mandatory local consumer law still gives you a right we cannot exclude, that law wins and nothing here limits it.

What we do refund. Our own mistakes: a duplicate or incorrect charge, a payment taken after you cancelled, or an outage on our side that left you unable to use a period you had paid for. Email abbasboranaktas@gmail.com from your account’s email address with the date of the charge. We aim to answer within 5 business days; approved refunds return to the original payment method via Polar and typically settle within 5–10 business days.

Try it before you pay. Every account starts on a free plan with a monthly credit allowance, and the sandbox lets you run the whole loop against a throwaway database without connecting anything of your own. Preview shows you exactly what will be written before a single row lands. Use those first — they exist so nobody has to buy a plan to find out whether this works for them.

9. Intellectual property

We retain all rights in the Service, its software and branding. You retain rights in your own data and configuration. You may not copy, resell or reverse-engineer the Service except as the law allows.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that generated content will fit any particular purpose or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for misuse of synthetic content by you or third parties. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify the Operator against claims arising from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law, including the honest-use rules above.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms or to protect the Service or other users.

14. Governing law & your local rights

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the Operator's place of residence. We offer the Service to users in the United States and Europe, and nothing in these Terms removes the mandatory consumer-protection and data-protection rights you have under the law of the country or U.S. state where you live. Where those local rights conflict with these Terms, your local rights prevail.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms; material changes take effect on the new effective date shown above.
