Terms of Service

DeckCast ("DeckCast," "we," "us," "our") is a product of Whisperware LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Whisperware"). DeckCast provides tools to help you upload slide decks and documents and generate easier-to-consume outputs such as microsites, summaries, and audio.

• You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service.
• You may use parts of the Service without creating an account. Some features require authentication.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

Magic links and account security

If we offer email magic links, you are responsible for maintaining control over your email account and any device where you are signed in. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights needed to upload and process your User Content and that doing so does not violate applicable law or third-party rights (including confidentiality obligations).

The Service may produce outputs based on your User Content ("Outputs"), including summaries, structured data, and audio.

• You are responsible for reviewing Outputs before relying on them.
• Outputs may contain errors, omissions, or outdated information.
• DeckCast does not provide legal, medical, financial, or professional advice.

Output ownership

As between you and DeckCast, you own your Outputs. To the extent DeckCast may have any rights in Outputs, DeckCast assigns to you all such rights.

Similarity of outputs

Because outputs are generated by automated systems, Outputs may be similar to content generated for other users.

You may be able to create shareable links ("Share Links").

• Share Links may make certain content accessible to anyone with the link.
• You are responsible for how you share and who you share with.
• We may provide tools to disable or revoke Share Links, but we cannot control copying or redistribution once content is shared.

Public display permission

When you create a Share Link, you grant DeckCast a license to host, reproduce, and publicly display the shared content (including any associated audio) to anyone who accesses the Share Link, solely for the purpose of operating the sharing feature.

You agree not to:

• use the Service to violate any law or third-party rights,
• upload content you do not have the right to use,
• upload malware or attempt to disrupt the Service,
• attempt to access other users' accounts or content without authorization,
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code or underlying components of the Service (except where such restriction is prohibited by law),
• scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Service at high volume (including through automated means),
• bypass or interfere with security or access controls, including rate limits.

We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms or pose a security risk.

Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

From time to time, we may offer features labeled as beta, experimental, preview, or similar ("Beta Features"). Beta Features may be changed or discontinued at any time and may be subject to additional limitations. Beta Features are provided "as is" and "as available."

The Service may rely on third-party services (for example, cloud hosting, storage, and AI providers). Your use of those services may be subject to their terms.

DeckCast is not responsible for third-party services or their availability.

The Service, including software, design, logos, and other content provided by DeckCast, is owned by DeckCast or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service except as permitted by these Terms.

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant DeckCast the right to use them without restriction or compensation.

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if:

• you violate these Terms,
• we need to do so to protect the Service, other users, or the public,
• required by law.

On termination, your right to use the Service stops. Certain provisions (such as ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will survive termination.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DeckCast and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service or your violation of these Terms.

We may update the Service and these Terms from time to time.

If changes are material, we may provide notice (for example, by posting on the Service or emailing you). Continued use after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them as part of a business transfer.
• Severability: If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
• No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement regarding the Service.
