Vertale Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing or using the Service in any way — including by creating an account, signing in, watching episodes, creating series, posting content, or sending messages — you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

We may also publish additional guidelines, policies, or rules for specific features (for example, creator or feature-specific policies). Those supplemental terms are incorporated into these Terms when you use the relevant features, and if there is a conflict, the supplemental terms control for that feature. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a legally binding contract to use Vertale. The Service is intended only for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to use the Service. If you believe someone under 18 is using Vertale, please contact us at info@bodrumenterprise.com and we will take appropriate action.

The 18+ requirement applies everywhere and regardless of any lower digital-consent age in your country. You may not let anyone under 18 use your account, and you may not use the Service on behalf of a minor. We may use age-verification or age-assurance measures and may suspend or terminate accounts we reasonably believe belong to a person under 18.

• You must have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction.
• You must not be barred from using the Service under applicable laws, including U.S. export-control and sanctions laws.
• Your account must not have been previously suspended or terminated by us, unless we expressly authorize you to create a new account.

3. Your Account

To use most features of Vertale, you must create an account by signing in with Google (Google OAuth) or by using a sign-in link sent to your email. When you register, we collect and you provide information such as your email address, basic profile details, a chosen @username or nickname, an avatar, a bio, and your country. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date.

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your sign-in credentials and any access to the Service. You agree to:

• Keep your login credentials secure and not share your account with others;
• Notify us immediately at info@bodrumenterprise.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account;
• Choose a username that does not impersonate another person or organization, infringe anyone's rights, or violate these Terms;
• Accept responsibility for content posted, messages sent, tokens purchased, and AI series generated through your account.

You may delete your account at any time through the Service or by contacting us. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account. We reserve the right to reclaim or require a change to any username that is inactive, infringing, misleading, or otherwise objectionable.

4. Description of the Service

Vertale provides a platform for watching vertical short-drama episodes, following and interacting with creators (including likes, comments, replies, and 1:1 direct messages), and creating your own AI-generated video series using our generation tools. The Service combines streaming, social networking, and AI content-creation features.

We are constantly improving the Service. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any feature, capability, or part of the Service — including AI generation models, token pricing structures, content libraries, or messaging functions — at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law. Some features may be offered as beta, preview, or experimental releases; these may be incomplete, may not work as intended, and are provided on an "as is" basis without any commitment that they will become generally available.

We do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free, and we may perform maintenance, updates, or modifications that temporarily limit access. We are not responsible for content created by other users or for your reliance on any content available through the Service.

5. Tokens and Payments

Vertale uses an in-app virtual currency called "tokens." You may purchase tokens through our third-party payment processor. Token prices, any bundles, applicable taxes, and current pricing are shown at checkout and may change. Tokens are spent within the Service to generate AI video series and to access other paid features we may offer.

Under our agreement with our payment processor, Vertale is the merchant and seller of record for token purchases; the processor acts solely to process the payment. When you buy tokens, you authorize Vertale (through our payment processor) to charge your selected payment method for the full purchase amount, including applicable taxes and fees. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide and that the billing information you supply is accurate. Your payment card data is handled by our payment processor in accordance with its terms and privacy policy; we do not store full payment card numbers.

Tokens are a limited, revocable license to access paid features — not money, property, or a financial instrument. Specifically:

• Tokens have no monetary or cash value and are not legal tender;
• Tokens are not transferable, assignable, or exchangeable between users or for goods or services outside the Service;
• Tokens are not redeemable for cash, credit, or any monetary value;
• Once spent on AI generation or another paid feature, tokens are consumed and cannot be restored or returned;
• We may set or change the number of tokens required to use any feature, including AI generation, at any time.

All token purchases are final, and tokens are generally non-refundable, except where a refund is required by a non-waivable consumer-protection or other law that applies to you. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under such a law, or if you were charged in error, contact us at info@bodrumenterprise.com. We may, in our sole discretion, choose to issue refunds or credits in other cases, but doing so does not obligate us to do so in the future.

We may change token prices, the cost of generating series, taxes collected, and the terms of any token offers at any time. Price changes will apply to purchases made after the change takes effect and will not retroactively change tokens you have already purchased. If a payment is reversed, charged back, or fails after tokens have been delivered or spent, we may suspend your account, deduct the corresponding tokens, or take other action permitted by law.

6. Your Content and License Grant

"User Content" means any content you create, upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Service, including series, episodes, uploaded media, images, audio, text, prompts and inputs you submit to AI tools, comments, replies, direct messages, your profile, bio, and avatar. As between you and Vertale, you retain ownership of the intellectual property rights you hold in your User Content. We do not claim ownership of your User Content.

To operate and provide the Service, you grant Vertale a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as formatting and transcoding), publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content, in whole or in part, in connection with operating, providing, promoting, and improving the Service. The scope of this license depends on how you choose to share content:

• For content you publish publicly (such as series, episodes, public comments, and your profile), the license allows us to display and distribute that content to other users, and to feature, promote, and advertise that content — together with your username and avatar — within the Service and in Vertale's marketing and promotional materials across any media or channels now known or developed in the future.
• For private content such as 1:1 direct messages, the license is limited to what is needed to deliver, store, secure, and moderate those messages and to operate the Service.
• This license continues for as long as your content remains on the Service and for a commercially reasonable period thereafter to account for backups and cached copies; it ends when your content is removed, except for content that other users have re-shared or saved, and except as needed to comply with law or enforce these Terms.

AI improvement and training. You also grant Vertale a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use your User Content — including the prompts, instructions, media, and other inputs you submit to our creation tools and the resulting outputs — to operate, develop, evaluate, and improve the Service and our artificial-intelligence models and features, including by using such content and inputs to train, fine-tune, and test those models. We do not use the content of your private 1:1 direct messages to train our AI models. You can opt out of the use of your content to train our AI models at any time in your account settings, and where applicable law requires it, we will rely on an appropriate legal basis and honor the opt-out or consent rights described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to your User Content and to grant the license above, and that your User Content (and our use of it as permitted here) does not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights or any law. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it.

We have no obligation to monitor User Content, but we may review, screen, moderate, refuse, remove, restrict, or disable access to any User Content at any time, with or without notice, if we believe it violates these Terms, our guidelines, or the law, or could harm users, Vertale, or third parties. We are not responsible for storing or maintaining your User Content and encourage you to keep your own copies.

7. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You agree to use the Service lawfully and respectfully. You may not use the Service, and may not create, upload, generate, post, send, or share content, that does any of the following. This list is illustrative, not exhaustive:

• Violates any applicable law or regulation, or promotes or facilitates illegal activity;
• Infringes or misappropriates any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right, or violates anyone's privacy or publicity rights;
• Is sexually explicit involving minors, sexualizes minors in any way, or otherwise constitutes child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — strictly prohibited; such content is removed and reported to the relevant authorities as required by law;
• Is pornographic, sexually exploitative, or non-consensual intimate imagery;
• Harasses, bullies, threatens, defames, or intimidates any person, or incites or promotes violence, self-harm, or harm to others;
• Constitutes hate speech or attacks, dehumanizes, or promotes discrimination against people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics;
• Is fraudulent, deceptive, misleading, or impersonates any person or entity, including using deepfakes or AI-generated likenesses to deceive or to falsely attribute statements or actions;
• Distributes spam, chain messages, pyramid schemes, unauthorized advertising, or solicitations;
• Contains malware, viruses, or code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to any system or data;
• Attempts to access, interfere with, or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks, including by scraping, crawling, denial-of-service attacks, or circumventing security or rate limits;
• Reverse engineers, decompiles, or attempts to extract source code or the underlying AI models, except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
• Uses bots or automated means to create accounts, generate engagement, manipulate metrics, or abuse token or AI-generation features;
• Collects or harvests other users' data without authorization, or uses the Service to stalk, track, or surveil others;
• Generates AI content that violates these rules, including content designed to produce prohibited material or to defeat our safety measures;
• Resells, sublicenses, or commercially exploits the Service or tokens except as expressly permitted.

We may investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who violates this section, including removing content, limiting features, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting to law enforcement. You agree not to encourage or assist anyone else in violating these rules.

8. AI-Generated Content

Vertale lets you generate video series and related content using artificial intelligence based on the prompts, instructions, media, and other inputs you provide ("Inputs"). The content the AI produces is referred to as "Outputs." Together with Inputs, these form part of your User Content and are subject to these Terms, including the acceptable-use rules and the license grant above.

• You are solely responsible for your Inputs and Outputs, including ensuring you have all rights needed to use any media or material you submit and that your Inputs do not infringe or violate anyone's rights or any law.
• Do not submit Inputs that include another person's copyrighted work, trademarks, likeness, voice, or personal data without authorization, or that are designed to generate prohibited content.
• AI Outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, or unexpected. We make no guarantee that Outputs are accurate, reliable, appropriate, original, or unique to you.
• Because of how generative models work, other users may receive similar or identical Outputs from similar Inputs. We do not guarantee that any Output is exclusive to you, and you should not assume an Output is free of third-party rights.
• To the extent we have rights in the Outputs, and subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of the applicable tokens, we assign or license to you the rights necessary to use the Outputs you generate within and outside the Service, except that you may not use Outputs in ways that violate these Terms or the law. You may use, publish, share, and monetize the Outputs you create, including on other platforms and your own channels, subject to these Terms and applicable law. You are responsible for reviewing Outputs before publishing or relying on them.
• We may use Inputs and Outputs to operate, secure, moderate, and improve the Service and our AI features, as described in our Privacy Policy and to the extent permitted by law.

Where required by law or platform policy, you agree to clearly disclose when content is AI-generated. You may not present AI Outputs in a way that deceptively impersonates real people or misrepresents real events.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service and all of its content other than User Content — including the Vertale name, logos, software, code, design, user interface, text, graphics, the AI models and tools we provide, and all related intellectual property — are owned by Vertale or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the rights expressly granted to you in these Terms, we reserve all rights in and to the Service.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, and to create and share your own content. This personal, non-commercial restriction applies to the Service itself and does not limit your right to use or monetize the content and Outputs you create, as described above. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of any part of the Service, or use our trademarks, except as expressly authorized in writing. Any feedback or suggestions you give us about the Service may be used by us without any obligation to you.

10. Copyright — Notice and Takedown

Vertale respects intellectual property rights and will remove or disable access to infringing content when we receive a proper notice, in accordance with applicable law. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, you may send a written notice to our copyright contact (details below). We also accept notices that meet the requirements of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

A valid notice should include substantially all of the following (this also satisfies the requirements of a DMCA notice):

• Your physical or electronic signature (or that of a person authorized to act on behalf of the rights owner);
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (such as the URL or username and a description);
• Your contact information, including name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to our copyright contact: Bodrum Enterprise LP, Suite 1227, 111 West George Street, Glasgow, Scotland, G2 1QX, United Kingdom, email info@bodrumenterprise.com. Please note that knowingly making a material misrepresentation that content is infringing (or was wrongly removed) may make you liable for damages under applicable law.

Counter-Notice. If your content was removed or disabled following a copyright notice and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our copyright contact that includes: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material and its prior location; a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, and telephone number. If you are located in the United States, you must also consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. federal court for the district where you reside (or, if outside the U.S., any district in which we may be found) and agree to accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice. If we receive a valid counter-notice and the original complainant does not pursue legal action within the time period required by applicable law, we may restore the removed material.

Repeat Infringers. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

11. Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, remove your content, or close your account at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or the law, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or for prolonged inactivity, or if we discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Any unused tokens associated with a terminated account may be forfeited to the extent permitted by law, except that we will not forfeit tokens where doing so would violate a non-waivable consumer-protection law that applies to you. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including provisions on User Content licenses, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and miscellaneous terms — will survive.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, AI OUTPUTS, TOKENS, AND FEATURES, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VERTALE AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that the Service or its servers are free of harmful components; or that AI Outputs will be accurate, reliable, original, non-infringing, or suitable for any purpose. You use the Service and rely on any content or Output at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights under your local law that this section does not override.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VERTALE OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, ANY USER CONTENT OR AI OUTPUTS, OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF VERTALE AND THE PARTIES LISTED ABOVE FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO VERTALE FOR TOKENS IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).

These limitations form an essential basis of the agreement between you and us. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct, or any non-waivable consumer rights.

14. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vertale and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your User Content, Inputs, or Outputs; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to them or to the Service, are governed by the laws of Scotland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory, non-waivable consumer-protection laws of the country where you live.

Informal Resolution First. Before starting any formal proceeding, you and Vertale agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days. To begin, send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek to info@bodrumenterprise.com. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, either party may bring the matter before the courts as set out below.

Jurisdiction. The courts of Scotland have jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live, or to rely on the mandatory consumer-protection laws of that country.

Urgent Relief and Authorities. Nothing in this section prevents either party from asking a competent court for injunctive or other urgent relief — for example, to protect intellectual property rights or to stop unauthorized access to or misuse of the Service — and nothing prevents you from raising a complaint with any competent regulator, data-protection authority, or consumer body.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice — for example, by posting the updated Terms at vertale.app/terms with a new "Last updated" date, by notice within the Service, or by email. Changes are effective when posted unless we state otherwise. By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms take effect, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service and may close your account. We will not apply material changes retroactively to disputes that have already arisen.

17. Miscellaneous

• Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms or guidelines we reference, are the entire agreement between you and Vertale regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
• No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later, and any waiver must be in writing to be effective.
• Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and Vertale.
• No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for our affiliates and the indemnified parties named above, these Terms do not create rights for any third party.
• Force Majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, outages, labor disputes, or governmental actions.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you through the Service or by email to the address associated with your account. You agree to receive communications from us electronically.
