Terms of Use

Effective date: January 15, 2025 · SkipItTech, Inc.

Draft for review. These terms are a working template prepared to get Skipit live. They are not legal advice. Please have them reviewed by qualified counsel before launch, and confirm the bracketed items, the limitation-of-liability cap, the governing-law section, and any dispute-resolution approach for your jurisdiction.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Skipit website, browser extension, and related services (collectively, the "Service"), operated by SkipItTech, Inc. ("Skipit," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it.

2. What Skipit is

Skipit is a browser extension and related web service that detects potentially distressing scenes in streaming content and lets you skip, mute, or read a summary of them. Skipit is an independent aid for your own viewing comfort. It does not modify, redistribute, or provide access to any streaming service's content.

3. Accounts and security

Some features may require an account. If we offer accounts, you are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information, for keeping your credentials confidential, and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at info@skipit.tech of any unauthorized use.

4. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in a way that violates any third party's terms, including the terms of any streaming platform.
Use the Service to circumvent digital rights management, access controls, geographic restrictions, subscription requirements, or other protections on any third-party content or platform.
Copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Service, except where permitted by law.
Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without our written permission.
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or related systems.
Use the Service to infringe intellectual property or other rights.

6. Waitlist, pre-orders, and payments

Joining the waitlist or pre-order list does not create any obligation for us to provide the Service or guarantee availability, pricing, features, or timing. If we introduce paid features, subscriptions, or pre-orders, the applicable price, billing, renewal, refund, and cancellation terms will be presented to you before purchase and will govern that transaction.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including all software, text, graphics, logos, and the "Skipit" name, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any of those rights to you.

8. Third-party services and no affiliation

Skipit works alongside third-party streaming platforms but is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Prime Video, or any other platform. All third-party names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Your use of any streaming service remains governed by that service's own terms.

9. Changes to the Service

We are continually improving Skipit and may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Where a change is material, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice, though we cannot promise advance notice in every case.

10. Disclaimers

Skipit is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. Scene detection is automated and may be incomplete or inaccurate — it may miss content or flag content you did not expect. You remain responsible for your own viewing decisions. Skipit is a comfort and accessibility tool and is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, or clinical advice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Skipit and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD $50. [Confirm cap with counsel.]

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Skipit harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms.

13. Termination and suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the "Effective date." Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [State/Country], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, disputes will be resolved in the courts located in [jurisdiction].
