2. Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and use the Service. You must provide accurate information when creating your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Each account is limited to one connected website.

5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Content produced by HotPress is generated by artificial intelligence. While we design our systems to produce high-quality, accurate content:

  • We do not guarantee the factual accuracy of generated content. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying content before publication.
  • We do not guarantee specific SEO rankings, traffic results, or business outcomes from using generated content.
  • Generated content may require editing to meet your specific standards, comply with regulations in your industry, or align with your brand voice.
  • You are solely responsible for the content you publish to your website, regardless of whether it was generated by HotPress.

  • Attempt to circumvent plan limits or abuse the platform's resources
  • Reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from our systems beyond normal Service use
  • Share account credentials or resell access to the Service

7. CMS Integration

When you connect a CMS, you authorize HotPress to publish content on your behalf using the credentials you provide. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to publish content to the connected website. We are not responsible for issues caused by incorrect CMS configuration, credential expiration, or CMS platform outages.

8. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service depends on third-party providers (AI models, search APIs, payment processors) that may experience downtime. We are not liable for service interruptions caused by third-party outages, maintenance, or force majeure events.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Viral Development, LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of the Service.
