Gamdo Terms of Service

1. The Service

Gamdo is an AI-powered tool for creating and publishing social media content. The Service generates card news and short-form videos based on the topics, brand details, and media you provide and, upon your explicit per-post approval, publishes the content to social media accounts that you own and have connected to the Service (currently Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Threads).

The Service also includes:

• video editing tools, including AI narration, subtitles, a licensed music library, and stock media;
• editing styles, which capture how a reference video is edited so you can apply the same editing to new videos;
• a marketplace where approved creators offer editing styles and other users buy them with credits (see Section 8);
• tools for managing comments on posts you published: a comment reply workbench, optional comment auto-replies, and an optional keyword-based direct message auto-reply feature (see Section 4); and
• notifications sent to Discord or Slack destinations you connect.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 14 years old to use the Service.
• You can create an account with an email address and password, or by signing in with Google, Apple, or Kakao.
• All registration information you submit must be true, accurate, and current, and you must keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You may not access the Service through automated means or use it for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

3. Connected Accounts and Notifications

3.1 Instagram

• You may connect your own Instagram account to the Service via the official Instagram OAuth flow. To use Instagram publishing features, you must own an Instagram Business or Creator account.
• Upon connection, you grant the Service only the following four permissions:
  • instagram_business_basic: read basic account info (username and account type) solely to show the connected account in the UI and confirm that publishing occurs only to that connected Instagram professional account.
  • instagram_business_content_publish: publish content, individually approved by you, to your own Instagram feed.
  • instagram_business_manage_comments: read comments on posts you published and post the replies you write or approve, solely to power the comment reply workbench.
  • instagram_business_manage_messages: send direct message replies according to automation rules you create (see Section 4).
• The Service does not request, use, or store any Instagram permissions beyond the four listed above, and cannot access insights, advertising features, or any Instagram account other than the ones you connect yourself.
• If you apply to sell editing styles, the Service uses your connected Instagram account to confirm your follower count and to read the posts you select, as described in Section 8.

3.2 TikTok

• You may connect your own TikTok account to the Service via the official TikTok OAuth flow (TikTok Login Kit).
• Upon connection, you grant the Service permission to read your basic TikTok profile information (display name, avatar, and account identifier), used solely to show the connected account in the UI, and permission to publish content to your own TikTok account through TikTok’s official Content Posting API.
• The Service does not request, use, or store any other TikTok permissions or data, including your videos, comments, direct messages, or follower information.

3.3 Threads

• You may connect your own Threads account to the Service via the official Threads OAuth flow.
• Upon connection, you grant the Service only the following five permissions:
  • threads_basic: read your Threads username, display name, and profile picture solely to show the connected account and confirm that publishing goes to the intended account.
  • threads_content_publish: publish content, individually approved by you (publish now or a schedule you set), to your own Threads profile, including a first reply you wrote on that post.
  • threads_read_replies: read replies to your posts published through the Service to show them to you.
  • threads_manage_replies: post replies you write and hide or unhide replies on your own posts, only when you take that action.
  • threads_manage_insights: read metrics for your Threads account and posts to show them to you.
• The Service does not request, use, or store any other Threads permissions or data, including your direct messages or follower lists. Automated replies and automated direct messages are not available for Threads.

3.4 YouTube (Google)

Upon connecting a YouTube channel, you grant the Service the following two OAuth scopes: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly.

The upload scope is used only to upload videos you explicitly ask the Service to publish. The readonly scope is used only once, at connection time, to read your channel’s name, handle, and avatar so the Service can display the destination channel to you. The Service does not request, use, or store any other YouTube data, including your existing videos, analytics, comments, subscribers, or playlists.

Your use of the Service’s YouTube features is also governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

You may revoke the Service’s access to your YouTube channel at any time, either from the Service’s integrations settings page or through the Google security settings page.

You are responsible for the content you publish. By publishing to YouTube through the Service, you confirm that the content complies with the YouTube Community Guidelines. Videos may be removed by YouTube if they are found to be in violation.

3.5 Scope and Disconnection

• The Service publishes only to social media accounts you have connected yourself. The Service cannot access, modify, or publish to any other account.
• You may disconnect a connected account (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, or Threads) at any time from the Service’s settings page. Upon disconnection, the Service promptly revokes and deletes the stored OAuth token from its database.

3.6 Notification Channels

You may connect a Discord or Slack destination to receive notifications about your content, for example when a video is ready or a post is published. The Service sends notifications only to the destinations you connect, and you can disconnect them at any time from the settings page.

4. User-Initiated Publishing and Automated Replies

4.1 Publishing

• Each post, including any scheduled post, must be individually created, reviewed, and expressly approved by you before it is queued.
• The Service does not perform recurring, bulk, or rule-based posting to your feed, and does not publish any content without your prior approval of that specific post.
• Scheduled posts are executed using the stored token only for the specific post you previously approved, at the time you selected. You may cancel a scheduled post at any time before its scheduled publication.

4.2 Automated direct message replies (auto-DM)

• Separately from publishing, you may optionally create automation rules that send a direct message you pre-wrote when a comment on your own post matches keywords you configured. This is a rule-based messaging feature: it operates only under rules you create, and only on your own connected account.
• Incoming comment and message events are processed in real time to match your rules and are not stored by the Service. The Service never sends a message you did not write.
• You may edit, pause, or delete an automation rule at any time from the Service. You are responsible for ensuring your automated messages comply with the applicable platform rules.

4.3 Comment auto-replies

• You may turn on auto-replies for individual posts on your connected Instagram account. Auto-replies are off by default. When they are on, the Service posts replies to comments on that post using reply texts you wrote, under your account name. You are responsible for the content of your reply texts.
• Before you turn on auto-replies for a post you did not publish through the Service, we ask you to confirm once.
• Comments are classified automatically by AI to decide which ones receive an auto-reply. Classification can be wrong: a comment that needs your own reply may receive an auto-reply, or a comment may receive none. You can turn auto-replies off at any time.
• Auto-replies are provided within fair-use limits. If an unusually large number of comments arrive, processing may be throttled and some comments may not receive an auto-reply.
• Turning on auto-replies requires a paid plan, including during a free trial. You can turn them off on any plan.

5. AI-Generated Content

• Text, images, subtitles, narration, and editing style analysis are produced with third-party AI providers, including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, based on your inputs. Our Privacy Policy describes what data these providers receive.
• The comment reply workbench can draft a suggested reply with AI. When you request a draft, the text of the comment being replied to is sent to OpenAI (never to Gemini), without the commenter’s identity. Drafts are shown to you for review and are sent only when you choose to send them; drafts you do not send are not stored.
• Narration is created with preset synthetic voices provided by our AI providers.
• AI-generated content is presented to you as a draft. Before any publishing, you must review the draft, optionally edit it, and explicitly approve the final content. No content is published without this review and approval step.
• AI output can be inaccurate or resemble existing material. You are responsible for checking the content before you use or publish it.
• Laws and platform rules may require AI-generated content to be disclosed or labeled. You are responsible for applying any required disclosure or label when you publish. Content exported from the free plan may include a Gamdo watermark.
• You are solely responsible for ensuring that published content complies with the applicable platform rules (including the Instagram Community Guidelines, the TikTok Community Guidelines, and the Threads Terms of Use and Meta Community Standards) and applicable laws.
• Videos published to YouTube are generated by the Service from your inputs; YouTube data is not used as an input to any AI model.

6. Your Content

You retain ownership of the content you create with the Service, including topics, brand materials, media you upload, edited text, and the resulting card news and videos. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, analyze, render, and transmit that content solely to operate and provide the Service, including publishing it to the social media accounts you designate and the uses described in Sections 7 and 8. You represent that you have the rights necessary to the materials you provide and that your content does not infringe the rights of any third party.

7. Uploaded Videos and Other Media

You may upload videos, images, audio, and music files, and you may select videos from your connected accounts, for example as footage for a new video or as a reference video for an editing style.

7.1 Your permissions

When you upload or select a video, you represent that:

• you created the video, or the rights holder has permitted you to use it in the ways the Service uses it;
• every identifiable person who appears in the video has agreed to that use, including, for videos in a marketplace listing, being shown to other users of the Service; and
• the video does not infringe any copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy, or other right and complies with these Terms.

Before you create an editing style for sale in the marketplace, the Service asks you to confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed to show and play its reference videos, including every identifiable person who appears in them, to other users of the Service.

7.2 How the Service uses your media

• We store the media so you can use it in the Service.
• We analyze reference videos with automated tools, including AI, to identify how they are edited, such as cuts, pacing, text placement, fonts, colors, and the type of sound used.
• We transcribe speech in videos to create subtitles and to apply editing styles to your videos.
• We create thumbnails, previews, and rendered videos from your media.
• For marketplace listings, we display the reference videos as described in Section 8.

An editing style records how a video is edited. It does not carry the words, audio, or footage of the reference video into the videos made with it.

7.3 Retention

How long we keep uploaded and generated media is described in our Privacy Policy. Generated videos are deleted after the retention period, so please download anything you want to keep.

8. Editing Styles and the Marketplace

8.1 Selling editing styles

• To sell editing styles, you must apply as a Gamdo Influencer, meet the requirements shown in the Service (such as an eligible paid plan and a connected Instagram account with a minimum number of followers), and be approved.
• Some requirements, such as your follower count, your plan, and whether a post is an eligible video of your own, are checked automatically. Editing styles for sale are reviewed by the Gamdo team, and only the Gamdo team rejects an editing style or asks for changes.
• We may approve, request changes to, reject, or remove any editing style or listing, including after it is listed.
• You can list an approved editing style and stop selling it at any time. Listings also stop automatically if you no longer meet the requirements, for example if you move to a plan that is not eligible or your Instagram connection is removed or expires.
• By listing an editing style, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display the listing to users of the Service, including its name, description, thumbnails and playback of the reference videos, your Instagram username and follower count, and the like and comment counts of the selected posts, and to provide the editing style to users who buy it.

8.2 Buying editing styles

• Editing styles are sold for the number of credits shown in the Service. Buying may require an eligible plan.
• When you buy an editing style, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to apply it to videos you create in the Service for as long as you have an account. You can keep applying it if the seller stops selling it or leaves the Service, although the reference videos may no longer be viewable. Where there is a legal reason, such as a rights complaint, the Gamdo team may review it and restrict the use of that editing style.
• You do not receive any rights to the reference videos or the text or audio in them, and you may not download, copy, or reuse them. Purchased editing styles cannot be modified or resold.
• Credits spent on an editing style are not returned.

8.3 Our role

The Gamdo team reviews listings, but each seller remains responsible for their editing styles and reference videos. We do not guarantee the results of using any editing style.

9. Music and Stock Media

• You may use the music available in the Service, including music the Service generates for you, as part of videos you create with the Service, including when you download or publish those videos.
• Stock photos and videos are provided through Pexels and are subject to the Pexels License.
• If you upload your own music or other audio, you must have the rights to use it in your videos and on the platforms where you publish them.

10. Acceptable Use

As a user of the Service, you agree not to:

• use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• create or publish content that is unlawful, deceptive, infringing, harassing, hateful, or that violates the rules of the platform it is published to;
• upload, list, or publish media you do not have the rights to use, or media showing an identifiable person without their permission;
• upload or create sexually explicit content, content that exploits minors, or content that depicts real people saying or doing things they did not say or do in a way that could mislead viewers;
• manipulate marketplace requirements or reviews, for example with fake engagement, or obtain referral rewards or credits through fake, duplicate, or self-referred accounts;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data;
• use scripts, bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access the Service, or interfere with or place undue burden on the Service;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any entity;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or copy the Service’s software except as permitted by applicable law; or
• resell or transfer your account or use the Service to compete with us.

Violation of this section may result in suspension or termination of your account.

11. Copyright and Rights Complaints

If you believe that content on the Service, including a marketplace listing or a reference video, infringes your copyright or other rights, or shows you without your permission, email support@earthmera.com with:

• your name and contact information;
• a link to or description of the content;
• the right you believe is affected and why; and
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder, the person shown, or authorized to act for them.

The Gamdo team will review the report and may take action, such as removing the content.

12. Intellectual Property

The Service itself, including its software, design, text, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by or licensed to EarthMera and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the rights to your own content described in Sections 6 and 7, and the license to purchased editing styles described in Section 8, no rights in the Service are granted to you other than the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.

13. Plans, Credits, and Payment

13.1 Plans and prices

The Service offers a free plan and paid subscription plans. The features, credit allowance, and price of each plan are shown on our pricing page and in the Service when you subscribe. Prices are listed in U.S. dollars. Applicable taxes may be added where required by law.

13.2 Payment and automatic renewal

• Payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By subscribing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the plan you choose. Stripe sends the payment emails: a reminder before each renewal, receipts and invoices, and a notice if a payment fails.
• Paid plans renew automatically at the start of each billing period, and you will be charged for each period until you cancel.
• If we raise the price of your plan, we will tell you 7 to 30 days before the new price applies. Your subscription continues at the new price only if you expressly agree to it. If you do not agree, your subscription ends at the end of your current billing period.
• When you move to a higher plan, the change takes effect immediately and a new billing period starts. You are charged right away for the new plan, reduced by the unused time on your previous plan.
• When you move to a lower plan, you keep your current plan until the end of the billing period, and the change takes effect from the next period.

13.3 Free trials

We may offer a free trial of paid features. A free trial does not require a payment method and does not turn into a paid plan automatically. When the trial ends, your account moves to the free plan.

13.4 Credits

• Creating content uses credits. The Service shows the credits required before you start.
• Plan credits reset at the start of each billing period. Unused plan credits do not carry over to the next period.
• If the Service cannot produce the content you requested, the credits used for that request are returned in full.
• Bonus credits, such as referral rewards, are kept separately from plan credits, do not expire, and remain when your plan changes. Plan credits are used before bonus credits.
• Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred, sold, or exchanged for money. Unused credits are not refunded when your account is closed, except where required by law.

13.5 Failed payments

If a payment fails, you have 7 days to update your payment method. If the payment is still not made after 7 days, paid features such as scheduled posting and automations stop and your account moves to the free plan.

14. Cancellation and Refunds

14.1 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time from the Service’s settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Until then you keep your paid features, and afterwards your account moves to the free plan.

14.2 Refunds

The Service provides digital content and services that are made available as soon as you pay. For this reason, payments are generally not refundable once they have been processed, and we do not provide partial refunds for the unused part of a billing period. If you would like to request a refund, contact us at support@earthmera.com and we will review your request.

Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or withdrawal right you have under the consumer protection laws that apply to you.

14.3 Termination for cause

If we suspend or terminate your account because you materially breached these Terms, for example through fraud or abuse, you will not receive a refund for the rest of your billing period or for unused credits, except where required by law.

14.4 Chargebacks

Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank or card issuer so we can help. We may suspend paid features while a chargeback is being reviewed.

15. Referral Rewards and Promotions

• We may offer rewards, such as bonus credits or a longer free trial, when people you invite sign up or subscribe. The rewards and conditions are shown in the Service at the time you invite someone.
• Credits or rewards obtained by improper means may be taken back at the Gamdo team’s discretion. We may also change or end the referral program.
• Promotion codes can be used once per account unless stated otherwise, are subject to the conditions shown with the code, have no cash value, and may expire.

16. Termination and Account Deletion

• You may request deletion of your Gamdo account at any time from the Service’s settings page. Your account is deleted 72 hours after your request. During this grace period, you may cancel the request by signing in and choosing to cancel deletion.
• When your account is deleted, all data related to it is deleted, except the records we have to keep by law. Our Privacy Policy lists those records.
• Deleting your account ends your access to purchased editing styles and removes any unused credits. Please cancel any paid subscription before you delete your account.
• If you cannot access your account, you may also request deletion by emailing support@earthmera.com. For step-by-step procedures, see the Data Deletion page.
• We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service and its users. Where reasonable, we will notify you of the reason.

17. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR PURPOSES.

18. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

19. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party arising out of your content, the media you upload or list, your use of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of the rights of a third party.

20. Changes to the Service or These Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We will notify you of material changes through the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

21. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Nothing in this section deprives you of mandatory consumer protections under the laws of the country or state in which you reside. If you live in South Korea, see our Korean-language privacy notice.
