User Agreement

Please read these terms carefully before using RivalReel

Welcome to RivalReel, a social media platform (available as a mobile app and website) where users can share pictures, videos, text, and other media with friends. RivalReel is provided by RivalReel LLC ("RivalReel", "we", or "us"). This User Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legally binding contract between you ("you" or "User") and RivalReel regarding your access to and use of the RivalReel application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Agreement and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. If you do not agree, you must not use RivalReel.

Please read this Agreement carefully. You should also review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and protect your information. If you are using RivalReel on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to this Agreement, and in that case, the terms "you" or "User" will include that entity.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to register for or use the Service. By using RivalReel, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years of age or older and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. We will terminate or delete any accounts used by individuals under 18 once such use is discovered.

2. Account Registration and Security

You agree to provide truthful, accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activities under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use or security breach. RivalReel is not liable for losses arising from your failure to protect your account.

3. License and Intellectual Property

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, RivalReel grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by RivalReel and its licensors. You must not copy, modify, distribute, sell, reverse engineer, or otherwise misuse the Service or its software, except as prohibited by law.

All non-User Content on the Service—including the RivalReel name, logos, trademarks, graphics, software, and the design and compilation of the Service—is owned by RivalReel or its licensors and protected by law. Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership to you.

4. User Content

The Service allows you to create, post, and share content, including photos, videos, text, and other materials ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by uploading or sharing User Content, you grant RivalReel a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to host, use, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display your User Content (in whole or in part) and any name, username, or likeness provided in connection with your User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, securing, analyzing, improving, and promoting the Service.

AI/ML Use Within License: This license expressly includes the right for RivalReel and its service providers to analyze, index, transform, and process User Content using automated systems, algorithms, and machine-learning/artificial intelligence ("AI") models; and to use your User Content (including associated metadata and contextual signals) to train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve our models and services, and those of our subprocessors, including on an aggregated, pseudonymized, and/or de-identified basis where permitted by law. You acknowledge that improvements to models and derived parameters generally cannot be reversed to remove specific training data contributions, but we will honor deletion and access rights to the extent required by applicable law.

You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to post your User Content and to grant the license above, including AI-related processing rights. You waive (to the extent permitted by law) any moral rights or similar rights in your User Content as necessary to effect this license. You agree that you are not entitled to any compensation for RivalReel’s use of your User Content, including for AI training.

RivalReel does not endorse or assume responsibility for User Content. We may remove or disable access to any User Content at any time and for any reason, including suspected violations of this Agreement.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to violate any law; post illegal, harmful, or infringing content; exploit or harm minors; introduce malware; interfere with the Service; circumvent security; use unauthorized scraping or harvesting; impersonate others; collect personal data without consent; or use the Service for unauthorized commercial purposes. Violations may result in suspension or termination.

6. Privacy and Data Collection

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy. The app may request permissions to access your device’s camera, microphone, photo library/storage, and location to provide features. By granting permissions, you allow RivalReel to collect and process related data in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Revoking permissions may limit functionality.

Access and Use by RivalReel: RivalReel and authorized personnel may access, review, and retain your information and content for operating, improving (including via AI/ML processing), moderating, securing, and analyzing the Service; for research and development; for personalization and recommendations; for detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, abuse, or violations; and for legal compliance. We may disclose information as required by law or to protect rights, property, safety, or the integrity of the Service.

Automated Processing & Profiling: We use automated systems and AI to analyze content (e.g., object detection, text and audio analysis, safety classification, recommendation, ranking, search, and spam/abuse detection), to personalize experiences and ads (see Section 9), and to enforce policies. Where applicable law provides rights related to automated decision-making, we will honor those rights.

Third-Party Processors & Transfers: We may use third-party service providers (including AI/ML vendors) as subprocessors to process data on our behalf, subject to contractual safeguards. Data may be processed and stored in the United States and other jurisdictions. We implement appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers where required by law.

7. Notifications and Communications

By using the Service, you agree that we may send you emails, SMS (standard rates may apply), in-app messages, and push notifications. You can adjust certain preferences in app or device settings, but you may not opt out of essential communications (e.g., security or legal notices).

8. Content Moderation

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, review, edit, or remove any content at our discretion, at any time and for any reason, including content flagged by automated systems (e.g., AI-based safety or IP filters) or reported by users. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations or risk to users or the Service.

9. Advertising and Third-Party Content

The Service may include advertisements and promotions from us or third parties. Advertising may be personalized, including via AI/ML-driven interest signals as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, third-party products, services, or content. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

10. Service Changes; Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and request account deletion via available tools or by contacting us. We may, in our sole discretion and at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason or no reason at all (including for convenience): (a) suspend, restrict, or terminate any account; (b) suspend, discontinue, or modify any feature, functionality, or offering; and/or (c) suspend or discontinue the Service (or any or all part(s) of it) in whole or in part.

No Obligation; No Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by law, RivalReel will have no liability or obligation to you or any third party for any such action, including no obligation to provide notice, refunds, credits, compensation, continued access, data portability/export, or to maintain, store, or provide copies of any content or information. Backup or retention of User Content is not guaranteed.

Post-Termination: Upon termination or suspension, your right to access the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including the User Content license as limited in Section 4, disclaimers, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, and indemnification) will continue to apply.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service (including AI outputs) will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or that any defects will be corrected. You obtain materials through the Service at your own risk.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, RivalReel and its affiliates, licensors, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, or lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or opportunities. Our aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Service or this Agreement is limited to the greater of (a) amounts you paid to RivalReel in the preceding 12 months, or (b) US $100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RivalReel and its affiliates and personnel from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your use of the Service, your User Content (including AI-related processing rights), your violation of this Agreement or law, or your infringement of any rights.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing Law: New York law governs this Agreement, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Binding Arbitration; Class Waiver: Except as noted below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or this Agreement will be resolved exclusively through final and binding individual arbitration administered by the AAA under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. Venue will be in New York, USA, in English. You and RivalReel waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action. The arbitrator has exclusive authority over arbitrability issues. If the class waiver is found unenforceable, this arbitration provision is null and void and disputes will be heard in court as set forth below.

Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court or seek injunctive/equitable relief in court for IP rights or unauthorized access/misuse claims. If arbitration does not apply, disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, USA, and the parties consent to jurisdiction and venue there.

Opt-Out: New users may opt out of arbitration by emailing us (see Contact Information) within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement, stating your name, address, account email, and a clear request to opt out.

15. Changes to This Agreement

We may modify this Agreement at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the Service or email. Your continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if applicable, delete your account.

16. App Store and Third-Party Platform Terms

This Agreement is between you and RivalReel, not any app store provider. App store providers are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it. Additional app store terms apply as described by the applicable provider.

17. Entire Agreement and Miscellaneous

This Agreement, our Privacy Policy, and any additional terms or policies referenced herein constitute the entire agreement between you and RivalReel. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. No waiver is effective unless in writing. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent; we may assign it without restriction. Section headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”

19. AI and Automated Processing

Overview: The Service uses automated systems and AI to process information, including User Content, account data, device and usage data, and other inputs you provide. AI processing is used for features such as search, recommendations, safety and policy enforcement (e.g., detecting spam, abuse, nudity, or hate content), captioning or transcription, content transformations (e.g., resizing, enhancement), analytics, and personalization (including ad relevance as described in Section 9).

Training & Improvement: You authorize RivalReel and its subprocessors to process and store your information and User Content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve models and related services, including on an aggregated, pseudonymized, and/or de-identified basis where permitted by law. Model training may involve creating derived parameters that cannot feasibly be reverse-engineered to remove specific contributions. We will continue to honor applicable rights of access, deletion, and objection as required by law.

Accuracy & Limitations: AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate and are provided “AS IS.” Do not rely on AI outputs for professional, legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical decisions. You remain responsible for your use of any outputs and for complying with all laws and this Agreement.

Third-Party AI: We may use third-party AI providers as subprocessors under contractual safeguards. Data may be processed in the U.S. and other jurisdictions. We implement appropriate protections for cross-border transfers where required.

Safety & Abuse: You may not use the Service to develop, train, or improve models that compete with RivalReel, to re-identify de-identified data, to bypass safety systems, or to generate or disseminate unlawful content. We may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts to protect users, our systems, and third parties.

Your Choices: To the extent an opt-out from certain AI training uses is required by applicable law, you may contact us as described in Section 18 to request it. Exercising certain choices may impact available features.

By using RivalReel, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this User Agreement in its entirety.
