6. User Accounts
To use certain features of our services, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to update this information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
7. User Content
You retain all rights in the content you create and post through our services. By posting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, limited license to process, transmit, and deliver such content through our services to the platforms you select.
You are solely responsible for your content and the consequences of posting it. You represent and warrant that:
- You own or have the necessary rights to use and authorize us to transmit all intellectual property rights in and to any content
- Your content does not violate any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights
- Your content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws and platform policies
- Your content does not contain harmful, illegal, or inappropriate material
You also represent and warrant that any AI-generated, AI-assisted, or synthetic content you publish through Socialync: (a) does not depict any real, identifiable person without their documented consent; (b) is disclosed as AI-generated where required by applicable law or platform policy; and (c) complies with all applicable laws including the EU AI Act where applicable to your audience.
8. AI-Assisted Content and Third-Party AI Integrations
8.1 AI Features
Socialync offers AI-assisted features including caption drafting, content suggestions, and integration with third-party AI services through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar interfaces. When you use these features:
- You remain the author and publisher of any content created with AI assistance
- You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated suggestions before publishing
- You acknowledge that AI outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate content, and you are responsible for editing or rejecting such outputs prior to publication
8.2 MCP and AI Agent Integrations
If you connect a third-party AI agent or MCP-compatible AI service to your Socialync account, you are solely responsible for that agent's actions. Posts published through MCP or AI agent integrations are treated as user-initiated and user-authored content under these Terms. You are responsible for any content published through such integrations regardless of whether you reviewed each post individually.
8.3 Mandatory Human Review of AI-Generated Content
You may freely create, schedule, edit, and publish content that you have written or selected yourself, including through Socialync's standard scheduling tools. Manual posting and manual scheduling do not require any additional approval step.
However, where a post — or any element of a post such as the caption, copy, image, or video — is generated, drafted, or proposed by an AI agent, MCP-connected service, or other automated system, that post must be reviewed and explicitly approved by a human user of your Socialync account before it is scheduled or published to any connected platform. Posting AI-directed content without human verification is prohibited, whether the AI is configured to publish immediately or to add posts to a schedule.
Socialync enforces this at the product layer: AI agents and MCP integrations create drafts in your account, and a human must approve each draft before it can be scheduled or published. You may not bypass, disable, or attempt to circumvent this human-review step, including by automating the approval action itself, scripting clicks, or programmatically auto-approving drafts. Fully autonomous, unattended publication of AI-generated content is not permitted under these Terms.
8.4 Disclosure of AI-Generated Content
8.4 Disclosure of AI-Generated Content
You are responsible for complying with all applicable disclosure requirements for AI-generated or AI-modified content, including but not limited to platform-specific labeling rules (e.g., TikTok, Meta, YouTube AI content disclosure requirements) and applicable laws such as the EU AI Act. Socialync may provide tools to assist with disclosure but does not guarantee compliance on your behalf.
8.5 Data Processing for AI Features
Content processed through AI features may be transmitted to third-party AI providers (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or others) for processing. We do not retain or use your content for training AI models. See our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle data in connection with AI features.
9. Prohibited Content and Acceptable Use
You agree not to use Socialync to create, schedule, distribute, or publish any content that:
- Constitutes non-consensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated, computer-generated, or synthetic depictions of real persons in intimate or sexual contexts
- Depicts a real, identifiable person through AI-generated, manipulated, or synthetic media (including "deepfakes") in a manner that is misleading, defamatory, or harmful, without that person's documented consent
- Impersonates a real person or entity without authorization
- Falsely depicts public figures in criminal, sexual, violent, or otherwise harmful contexts
- Contains content designed to incite violence, harass, or threaten individuals or groups
