Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Storyveo is operated by:

Future note: When Storyveo converts to a Czech s.r.o. or Delaware corporation, these details will be updated and you will be notified. The governing entity for your contract will change accordingly, but these Terms will remain in effect.

2. The Storyveo Platform

Storyveo is an editorial curation platform that discovers, curates, and presents AI-generated films and series from independent creators. We do not produce the content we feature — we select, organise, and present it.

What Storyveo provides

• A curated gallery of AI films and series, presented in an interface designed for extended viewing.
• Embedded video playback via YouTube and Vimeo (hosted and owned by the respective creators).
• Editorial context including series descriptions, episode listings, and creator attribution.
• Creator tipping functionality, allowing users to financially support creators through the platform (coming soon — see Section 8).
• Account-based features such as notifications and watching history (coming soon).

What Storyveo does not guarantee

• Continuous or uninterrupted availability of the platform or any specific content.
• The availability of any particular film or series — content may be removed at any time by the creator, the hosting platform (YouTube/Vimeo), or by Storyveo at its discretion.
• The accuracy of descriptions or metadata, which are provided in good faith.

3. Eligibility and Account Registration

You may browse and watch content on Storyveo without creating an account. However, your browsing activity is still subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, including analytics collection via PostHog.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Storyveo's intellectual property

The Storyveo name, logo, brand identity, website design, editorial copy, curation methodology, and any original content produced by Storyveo are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use these without our express written permission.

5.2 Creator content

All films and series featured on Storyveo are the intellectual property of their respective creators. Storyveo embeds this content from YouTube and Vimeo — the creators retain all ownership rights and all views and watch time on those platforms. Storyveo does not claim ownership of any creator content.

5.3 Your content

Storyveo does not currently offer user-generated content features (reviews, comments, uploads). If such features are introduced in future, separate terms governing your submitted content will be provided.

5.4 Promotional licence from featured creators

Where a creator has entered into a Storyveo Creator Agreement, they grant Storyveo a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use clips, thumbnails, and still images from their content for the purpose of promoting their work on Storyveo's social media channels and marketing materials.

6. Third-Party Content, Platforms, and Links

Storyveo embeds video content hosted on YouTube (operated by Google LLC) and Vimeo (operated by Vimeo, Inc.). Your use of embedded players is subject to the respective terms of service and privacy policies of those platforms. Storyveo is not responsible for content hosted on third-party platforms.

The platform may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only. Storyveo has no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content or practices of third-party websites.

7. Privacy and Data

Your use of Storyveo is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR. By using the platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

8. Creator Tipping

Tipping is not yet available on Storyveo. This section sets out how tipping will work when the feature launches. By using the tipping feature when it becomes available, you agree to the terms in this section.

8.1 What tipping is

Storyveo's tipping feature allows users to make voluntary financial contributions to support creators whose work they enjoy. Tips are not purchases — they do not grant access to any additional content, goods, or services.

8.2 Voluntary and non-refundable

Tips are entirely voluntary. Once a tip payment has been successfully processed, it is non-refundable except where required by applicable law. By completing a tip, you confirm you have read and accepted this.

8.3 Payment processing

All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc., a third-party payment processor. Storyveo does not store your card details or payment credentials. Payment is subject to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in addition to these Terms. Minimum and maximum tip amounts may apply and will be displayed at the point of payment.

8.4 Storyveo as intermediary

For creators with whom Storyveo has an active relationship and direct payment details, tips will be passed on to the creator minus a platform service fee (the applicable fee will be displayed at the point of tipping).

For creators with whom Storyveo does not yet have a direct relationship, Storyveo will hold the tip funds on that creator's behalf and make reasonable efforts to contact them. Storyveo acts as a limited payment intermediary in this scenario and is not a regulated payment institution.

8.5 Creator payout timeline

Storyveo aims to disburse held creator funds on a monthly basis. Payout timelines may vary depending on the payment method agreed with each creator.

8.6 Unclaimed funds

If a creator does not claim tips held on their behalf within 12 months of Storyveo's first outreach attempt, Storyveo reserves the right to retain those funds as a platform service fee. Before doing so, Storyveo will make at least three documented attempts to contact the creator using publicly available contact information.

8.7 Disputes and chargebacks

If a payment is disputed or a chargeback is initiated with your bank or card provider, Storyveo may suspend your account pending investigation. Fraudulent chargeback attempts may be reported to relevant authorities and pursued through legal channels.

8.8 Tax

You are solely responsible for any tax implications of tips you give. Creators are solely responsible for declaring and paying tax on any funds they receive. Storyveo provides tip records on request but is not a tax adviser.

9. Creator Terms

9.1 Content featured without a direct agreement

Storyveo may feature publicly available AI films and series that are hosted on YouTube or Vimeo without a direct agreement with the creator. In these cases:

• We embed the content directly from its hosting platform — we do not download, re-upload, or redistribute it.
• All views and watch time are attributed to the creator's original hosting account.
• We provide creator attribution on every series page.
• Any creator may request removal of their content from Storyveo at any time by contacting us at tom@storyveo.ai. We will action removal requests within 5 business days.

9.2 Creators with an active Storyveo Creator Agreement

Creators who have entered into a formal Storyveo Creator Agreement are subject to those agreement terms in addition to this section. The Creator Agreement covers: content licensing for promotional use, revenue share from tipping, exclusivity arrangements (if any), and payout terms. Storyveo's Creator Agreements are provided separately and must be agreed to in writing.

9.3 Creator representations

By allowing (expressly or implicitly) Storyveo to feature their content, creators represent that:

• They own or have the necessary rights to the content featured.
• The content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.
• The content complies with the terms of the hosting platform (YouTube/Vimeo) and applicable law.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

10.1 Disclaimer

Storyveo is provided ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the platform will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of harmful components. We do not endorse or guarantee the quality, accuracy, or legality of any creator content featured on the platform.

10.2 Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Storyveo and its operator shall not be liable for:

• Loss of data, revenue, profit, or opportunity arising from your use of or inability to use the platform.
• Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
• Damages arising from the actions or content of third-party creators or platforms.
• Any interruption, suspension, or termination of the platform or any feature.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you have paid to Storyveo in the 12 months preceding the claim (or EUR 50 if no payment has been made).

10.3 OSVČ personal liability notice

As Storyveo is currently operated by an individual OSVČ, this limitation clause is particularly important. The operator has taken reasonable steps to limit risk through these Terms, but users should be aware of this structure when using the platform.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Storyveo and its operator from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your breach of these Terms.
• Your use of the platform in a manner that violates applicable law.
• Any false or misleading information you provide to Storyveo.
• Any fraudulent use of the tipping feature.

12. Termination and Suspension

Storyveo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account, or your access to any feature, at any time and without prior notice if:

• You breach these Terms.
• We suspect fraud, abuse, or illegal activity.
• We are required to do so by law or regulatory authority.

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at tom@storyveo.ai. Account closure does not entitle you to a refund of any tips made.

Storyveo may discontinue the platform or any feature at any time. Where possible we will provide reasonable advance notice to registered users.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the platform, legal requirements, or our business. When we make material changes:

• We will update the ‘Last updated’ date at the top of this document.
• We will notify registered users by email with at least 14 days notice before the new Terms take effect.
• We will display a notice on the platform.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you should stop using the platform and, if applicable, close your account before the new Terms take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Czech Republic, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of Storyveo shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of the Czech Republic.

Future note: If Storyveo converts to a Delaware corporation, these Terms may be updated to reflect Delaware law as governing law. Registered users will be notified in advance of any such change.

Consumers in the EU also have the right to use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

15. General Provisions

• Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Storyveo regarding your use of the platform.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
• No waiver: Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future.
• Assignment: You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. Storyveo may assign its rights in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of the platform.
• Language: These Terms are written in English. In the event of a conflict with a translation, the English version shall prevail.
