Article 4 (Provision of Service)

The Company may provide Members with the following features:

• Upload and management of videos and images
• AI-based video analysis
• Short-form video creation and editing
• Connection of accounts on External Platforms supported by the Company, including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok
• Immediate publishing and Scheduled Publishing of Content selected by the Member to External Platforms
• Display of publishing status and results
• Other features developed by the Company or provided through partnerships with third parties

The availability and scope of individual features may vary depending on the Member’s plan, External Platform account type, authorization status, API policies, and operational conditions of the Service.

Article 4-2 (External Platform Integration, Publishing, and Scheduled Publishing)

1. The Company may use APIs, OAuth, and other official authentication or integration methods provided by External Platforms supported by the Company, including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, to allow Members to connect their External Platform accounts and publish or schedule Content created or selected through the Service.
2. Members may only connect External Platform accounts that they own or are lawfully authorized to manage.
3. Members grant the permissions required to use the Service through the authentication and authorization procedures provided by the applicable External Platform. The Company will use such permissions only within the scope authorized by the Member and as necessary to provide the Service.
4. Before publishing or scheduling Content to an External Platform, Members may, to the extent supported by the Service, review and modify applicable publishing information, including:
   • The target External Platform and account
   • The video or other Content to be published
   • Title, description, caption, tags, and hashtags
   • Privacy or audience settings
   • Commercial or branded content disclosures
   • Other information required by the applicable External Platform for publishing
5. Available settings may vary depending on the policies and API capabilities of each External Platform.

The Company may suggest or pre-populate publishing information such as titles, descriptions, and tags through AI or automated features. However, the final publishing information actually transmitted to an External Platform, including YouTube, must remain subject to the Member’s review, and the Company will not add, delete, or otherwise modify values finally confirmed by the Member without the Member’s explicit consent.

6. Immediate Publishing will occur only after the Member reviews the applicable publishing information and explicitly initiates the publishing request. The Company will not publish Content without the Member’s explicit request or publish Content to an External Platform account that has not been authorized by the Member.
7. For Scheduled Publishing, when a Member reviews the target account, Content, scheduled date and time, and other applicable publishing information and submits a Scheduled Publishing request, such request constitutes the Member’s explicit advance instruction to the Company to publish the specified Content at the designated time.
8. A Member may modify or cancel a Scheduled Publishing request before execution to the extent such functionality is provided by the Company. Scheduled Publishing may fail to execute if, among other things, the External Platform connection is disconnected, required permissions expire or are revoked, the status of the Content or account changes, or External Platform policies or API restrictions apply.
9. By using Vpick features that use YouTube API Services, the Member agrees to be bound by and comply with the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). The Member must also comply with the YouTube Community Guidelines and other applicable YouTube policies. Members who use Instagram, TikTok, or any other External Platform must likewise comply with the applicable platform’s terms of service, community guidelines, copyright policies, privacy policies, music usage policies, commercial content policies, and other applicable policies.
10. Members must own or have obtained all rights and permissions necessary for Content published to an External Platform, including copyrights, neighboring rights, rights of publicity, music usage rights, trademark rights, privacy rights, and any other applicable rights.
11. Members may disconnect an External Platform through the Vpick connection-management interface and may separately revoke the platform-side access authorization through the account or security settings provided by the applicable External Platform. If the connection is disconnected or the required authorization expires or is revoked, publishing and Scheduled Publishing features for that External Platform will no longer be available, and previously scheduled posts may fail to execute.
12. Publishing or Scheduled Publishing may be delayed or fail due to External Platform service outages, API failures or restrictions, account status, authentication or authorization issues, content review, publishing restrictions, usage limits, network issues, policy changes, or other circumstances that are not reasonably within the Company’s control.
13. If an External Platform changes its policies, API availability, authentication methods, or operational requirements, the Company may modify, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the applicable integration features.
14. The types of information processed in connection with External Platform integrations, the purposes of processing, retention periods, disconnection procedures, and deletion procedures shall be governed by the Company’s Privacy Policy.

Article 4-3 (Termination, Free Trial Expiration, and Account Deletion)

1. A Member who wishes to terminate the service agreement or delete the Member’s account may submit a request through a method provided by the Company or through the customer support channel at support@vpick.ai.
2. The Company provides a 15-day Free Trial to a new Member who has no prior successful payment history for a paid Vpick plan, beginning on the Member’s registration date or Free Trial start date.
3. If payment for a paid plan, including Basic or Pro, is not successfully completed by the end of the Free Trial, the Free Trial status will expire and the Free Trial benefits will end.
4. If no paid-plan payment is successfully completed during the five-day deletion waiting period following Free Trial expiration, the account becomes eligible for automatic deletion, and the Company may automatically delete the account after that period has elapsed.
5. If a paid-plan payment is successfully completed during the Free Trial or during the deletion waiting period described in Paragraph 4, the account will be excluded from automatic deletion.
6. A Member with any prior successful payment history for a paid plan, including Basic or Pro, is not subject to the automatic deletion rule for non-converted Free Trial accounts under this Article. Account retention and deletion rules for Members who return to a free status after expiration or cancellation of a paid subscription may be governed separately.
7. The Free Trial automatic deletion rule under this Article does not apply to policies governing expiration of a paid subscription, payment failure, or any separate Grace Period applicable to paid subscribers.
8. Once an account is deleted, the Member can no longer sign in to or use the Service with that account. Projects, uploaded Content, Generated Content, service settings, and other service data associated with the account may be deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy, applicable law, and the Company’s data-deletion procedures.
9. Before terminating the service agreement or deleting an account, the Member must download or otherwise back up any Content or data that the Member wishes to retain. Once the account and related service data have been deleted, they generally cannot be restored, except where retention is required by law or the Company expressly states that recovery remains available.
10. Information that must be retained for a statutory period, including payment or transaction records and information necessary for consumer dispute handling, may continue to be retained separately after account deletion. Details regarding retention, destruction, and account-related personal information are governed by the Company’s Privacy Policy.

Article 5 (Content Upload, Publishing, and Responsibility for Rights) [Important]

1. Members must own or have obtained all copyrights, neighboring rights, rights of publicity, music usage rights, trademark rights, privacy rights, and other rights or permissions necessary for any Content uploaded, submitted for processing, or submitted for publishing through the Service.
2. If a Member submits a URL from YouTube, a social media service, or another third-party platform, or uses external Content to create short-form or other Content, the Member must have lawful authority to process and use such Content through the Service.
3. When a Member publishes Generated Content or other Content to an External Platform, including YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok, the Member is responsible for making the final determination that the publishing activity and Content comply with applicable laws and the policies of the applicable External Platform.
4. The Company does not independently verify the copyright ownership or authorization status of Content uploaded or submitted by Members for processing or publishing and processes such Content only to the extent necessary to provide the Service.

Article 6 (Use of Generated Content)

1. Subject to applicable laws and any rights held by third parties, copyright in Generated Content shall, in principle, belong to the Member.
2. The Company may use Generated Content for service promotion, service introduction, or case studies only where the Member has the right to authorize such use and has provided explicit prior consent.

3. The Company shall not be liable for delays or failures in publishing or Scheduled Publishing caused by circumstances reasonably outside the Company’s control, including External Platform outages, API errors or restrictions, policy changes, content moderation or blocking, restrictions or suspension of the Member’s account, expiration of authentication or permissions, or network failures.
4. Scheduled Publishing is a feature that attempts to publish Content at the time designated by the Member. The actual publishing time may differ from the scheduled time due to External Platform processing times, API availability, network conditions, or other external factors.
5. Nothing in this Article shall exclude or limit any liability of the Company that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability arising from the Company’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
