Content & Usage Policy

This policy governs your use of Hyperball, including Hyperball Studio (together, the “Service”), and the content you upload and generate. By using the Service you agree to it.

Template — not legal advice. This document is a good-faith starting point that reflects common user-generated-content (UGC) and copyright (DMCA) requirements. Have qualified counsel review and complete the bracketed items (the Copyright Agent’s postal address, governing law) before you rely on it in production.

01

Your agreement

By creating a build you confirm you have read and accept this policy and our processing of your inputs to produce your video. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorized to accept this policy for it.

02

AI-generated content & disclosure

Videos are generated by AI models. Generated frames may carry invisible provenance watermarking (e.g. Google SynthID). You are responsible for disclosing AI use where the destination platform, advertising rules, or law require it (many jurisdictions and platforms now require clear AI/synthetic-media labeling).

03

Your content and the rights you grant

You retain ownership of the inputs you upload (product photos, logos, music). You grant us a limited, revocable license to store and process them solely to provide the Service. You are responsible for everything you upload and generate.

You represent and warrant that you own or are licensed for all inputs, and that they do not infringe any third party’s copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other rights.

04

Product, brand & likeness rights

If you upload images of a product, brand, or a person (including on-model apparel photos), you confirm you have all necessary rights and, for identifiable people, valid model/publicity releases. Do not upload third-party brands, trademarks, or a person’s likeness without authorization.

05

Music & audio rights

You may use our AI-generated soundtrack, or upload your own music. If you upload music you must affirmatively confirm that you own it or are fully licensed for this use, and that it is not third-party commercial or copyrighted music. Uploaded audio may be screened; tracks identified as commercial recordings are blocked, and infringing audio may be removed.

06

Prohibited content

You may not use the Service to create content that is unlawful, infringing, sexual content involving minors, non-consensual or explicit sexual content, graphic violence, hateful, harassing, deceptive, or that impersonates a real person or brand. We screen inputs and may refuse or remove content that violates this policy.

07

Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect copyright and respond to notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe a video, post or comment on Hyperball infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Copyright Agent that includes:

  1. your physical or electronic signature;
  2. the copyrighted work you say is infringed (or a representative list, if there are several);
  3. the material you say infringes and where it is: the link to the video, post or comment;
  4. your name, postal address, phone number and email;
  5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  6. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

Copyright Agent, Hyperball

Email: [email protected] (subject “DMCA notice”)

Post: [postal address — add with the agent’s registration]

Counter-notice: if your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, send a counter-notice to the same agent with: your signature; the material that was removed and where it appeared; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district where Hyperball may be found) and will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice. We send it to them and restore the material in 10 to 14 business days, unless they tell us they have gone to court.

Repeat infringers: we remove material named in a valid notice and close the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Anyone who knowingly misrepresents in a notice or a counter-notice may be liable for damages (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

Your face or voice: to report a video that shows your face or uses your voice without your consent, email [email protected] with the link. We review it promptly and remove it if it breaks this policy.

08

Platform & advertising compliance

You are responsible for complying with the rules of any platform you publish to (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Meta, etc.) and with applicable advertising and consumer-protection laws, including truth in advertising and required disclosures.

09

Disclaimers & governing law

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for your use of generated content. This policy is governed by [governing law / jurisdiction — configure].
