Terms of Service

Last updated: April 27, 2026

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using Leviathan (“the Service”, operated by [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME], “we”, “our”, “us”) you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

3. Your account

• One account per person.
• You are responsible for keeping your authentication credentials secure.
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account.

4. The Service

Leviathan helps you keep up with creators by transcribing and summarizing public YouTube videos, podcasts, Substack posts, and similar content you choose to follow. We may add, remove, or change features at any time. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” basis — see Section 9.

5. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to:

• Submit content you do not have the right to consume (e.g. paywalled material you have not purchased, private streams you were not invited to, content obtained through unauthorized access).
• Use the Service or its outputs to redistribute copyrighted content commercially.
• Scrape, mass-download, or use the Service to operate competing infrastructure or to build a derivative product on top of it.
• Submit content that is illegal in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to CSAM, terrorism, or non-consensual intimate imagery).
• Abuse rate limits, attempt to overload our systems, or probe for vulnerabilities outside of a coordinated security disclosure.
• Resell your account or our generated outputs as a standalone product.
• Use the AI-generated outputs to make consequential medical, legal, or financial decisions — see Section 7.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.

6. Source content and your inputs

Source content. YouTube videos, podcasts, Substack posts, and similar third-party media belong to their respective creators. Leviathan claims no rights in source content. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to consume any content you submit through the Service.

Your inputs. You retain ownership of URLs, transcripts, and custom prompts you submit. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process those inputs solely to provide the Service to you.

Generated outputs. AI-generated walkthroughs, frameworks, and summaries are provided for your personal learning and internal note-taking. We discourage redistribution of generated outputs as standalone publications. You remain responsible for any use you make of them.

Our software. The application code, design, branding, and underlying pipeline are owned by us. These Terms grant you no rights in our software beyond using the Service as offered.

DMCA / takedown. If you believe content processed by the Service infringes your copyright, contact [CONTACT_EMAIL] with a description of the work, the location of the infringement, your contact information, and a good-faith statement of authority. We will respond promptly.

7. AI-generated content disclaimer

Transcripts and AI-generated outputs may contain errors, omissions, or fabrications. Speech-to-text models misrecognize words; language models occasionally produce inaccurate or misleading content. Do not rely on outputs for:

• Medical decisions or health-related advice.
• Legal advice or interpretation of law.
• Financial, investment, or tax decisions.
• Any context where accuracy is critical.

Always consult the original source and a qualified professional for matters that require accuracy.

8. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party providers including transcription, AI, and hosting services. Their availability is not under our control. We are not liable for outages, errors, or content issues caused by them. See our Privacy Policy for the current list of sub-processors.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will meet your specific needs.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME]’s total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service is limited to the greater of: (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD $50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] harmless against claims, damages, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms or any third-party rights.

12. Termination

You may delete individual items via the in-app delete button or request full account deletion at any time by emailing [CONTACT_EMAIL]. We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these Terms or for prolonged inactivity, with reasonable prior notice when feasible.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated by email to the address on your account at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [JURISDICTION], and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
