Terms of Service
Last updated: May 8, 2026
These Terms of Service govern access to and use of Distinctful, the content operation platform operated by Distinctful LLC. By creating an account, accessing the website, or using the application, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use Distinctful.
The Service
Distinctful provides software for solopreneurs running a business on their content. The platform helps users plan content, organize ideas, connect audience and offer data, review performance, and decide what to make next.
The Service includes the Distinctful website, application, APIs, integrations, documentation, support channels, and related product surfaces. We may improve, change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the Service as the product and third-party platform requirements evolve.
Eligibility and accounts
If you use Distinctful for a business or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.
You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure, maintaining accurate account information, and all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us promptly if you believe your account or a connected platform token has been compromised.
Your content and data
You keep ownership of the content, ideas, audience records, offers, drafts, files, and business information you submit to Distinctful. You grant Distinctful a limited license to host, process, transmit, display, and otherwise use that material only as needed to provide, secure, support, and improve the Service.
You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, permissions, and rights associated with the content and data you place in Distinctful. Do not upload content or data you do not have the right to use.
Connected platforms and integrations
Distinctful may let you connect third-party platforms such as social networks, newsletter tools, analytics providers, commerce providers, and publishing services. When you connect a platform, you authorize Distinctful to access and use that platform data within the permissions you grant and for the product functions you request.
Third-party platforms are not controlled by Distinctful. Their APIs, permissions, availability, approval requirements, rate limits, terms, and data quality may change. Distinctful is not responsible for third-party platform outages, rejected API calls, revoked permissions, inaccurate provider data, or provider policy changes.
You must comply with the terms and policies of any platform you connect. You may disconnect a provider from Distinctful settings or directly through the provider when supported.
Subscriptions, trials, and billing
Paid plans, trial periods, renewal terms, feature limits, and pricing are presented at checkout or in the product. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled.
Billing is processed by Stripe or another designated payment processor. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge applicable subscription fees, taxes, and usage-based charges to your selected payment method. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in writing by Distinctful.
You can cancel a subscription through the billing portal when available. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not automatically refund past charges. We may change prices or plan packaging with advance notice where required.
Acceptable use
Use Distinctful in good faith and only for lawful purposes. You may not use the Service to:
- violate law, infringe intellectual property rights, or breach third-party platform terms;
- submit unlawful, deceptive, harmful, abusive, or unauthorized content;
- access, probe, scrape, crawl, or copy systems or data without permission;
- interfere with the security, availability, integrity, or performance of the Service;
- reverse engineer, bypass limits, abuse APIs, or use automated systems except through approved interfaces;
- send spam, malware, phishing content, or other harmful communications;
- misrepresent identity, authority, affiliation, performance claims, or offer terms.
Distinctful intellectual property
Distinctful owns the Service, including the product design, software, workflows, systems, site content, brand assets, trademarks, and documentation. These terms do not transfer any ownership in Distinctful intellectual property.
You may not copy, frame, resell, sublicense, rebrand, or create a confusingly similar service from Distinctful without written permission. Feedback you provide may be used by Distinctful without restriction or compensation.
AI, analytics, and business guidance
Distinctful may provide analytics, recommendations, generated summaries, or other decision-support outputs. These outputs depend on the data available to the platform and may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. They are not legal, financial, tax, accounting, or professional advice.
You remain responsible for business decisions, public claims, publishing choices, offer terms, and compliance obligations connected to your content operation.
Suspension and termination
You may stop using Distinctful at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms, create risk for users or infrastructure, fail to pay fees, misuse third-party integrations, or expose Distinctful to legal, security, or operational risk.
After termination, your right to use the Service ends. Data retention and deletion are handled as described in our Privacy Policy, subject to legal, security, billing, backup, and audit requirements.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, Distinctful disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, specific business outcomes, platform approval, audience growth, revenue, deliverability, publishing success, or accuracy of third-party data.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Distinctful and its owners, employees, contractors, suppliers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, goodwill loss, or third-party platform disruption.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Distinctful's total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of 100 USD or the amount you paid Distinctful for the Service during the 12 months before the claim arose.
Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Distinctful from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your content, your use of the Service, your connected platforms, your violation of these terms, your violation of law, or your infringement of another party's rights.
Governing law and venue
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law rules. Except where prohibited by law, disputes must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, and you consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Distinctful evolves. If changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify you through the product, by email, or by updating this page. Continued use of the Service after updated terms become effective means you accept the updated terms.
