terms of service

last updated 16 september 2026

this document has not been reviewed by a lawyer. it was drafted to describe honestly what lynxr actually does, and it is published so that nobody using the early access version is left guessing. it must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before lynxr takes payments or opens to the public. the passages marked drafted, not reviewed are the ones where that matters most, and we would rather say so than let them read as settled.

these terms are an agreement between you and lynxr LLC (“lynxr”, “we”, “us”), a Massachusetts limited liability company. they cover lynxr.io, the creator app, and anything we hand you access to as part of it.

using lynxr means you accept them. if you do not, do not use it — that is a real option and nothing is lost by taking it.

the privacy policy is part of this agreement and says what we do with your data. it is worth reading; it is written to be read.

the short version

• lynxr writes drafts. a machine wrote them, they are suggestions, and you are responsible for what you publish.
• only send us links to videos you are allowed to reference.
• this is early access: places are limited, things break, and we can end your access.
• what you make in lynxr is yours.
• it is free today. it will not be free forever, and we will tell you before that changes.

what lynxr does

you send lynxr a link to a short-form video — TikTok, Instagram, or Instagram. lynxr downloads that video, transcribes what is said in it, looks at its frames, and works out the format underneath it: the hook, the beats, the order they come in. it then rewrites that format as a new script for a company you are making content for.

the point is the structure, not the words. lynxr is built to take the shape of a video and put a different subject through it, which is a normal and long-standing thing for creators to do by hand.

early access

lynxr is early. that is not a disclaimer, it is the actual state of it:

• places are limited. access is by invitation while we are testing, and having a link to the app is not the same as having an account.
• there is no uptime promise. we do not offer a service level, a response time, or a guarantee that a script you asked for will arrive. sometimes a platform refuses to hand over a video, or a model we depend on is overloaded, and the answer is that it did not work.
• features can change or disappear while we work out what lynxr should be.
• we can withdraw access, including yours, and we can stop offering lynxr entirely. if we shut it down we will give you reasonable notice and a chance to copy out your scripts, unless the law requires otherwise.

your account

an account is an email address and a password. keep the password to yourself — anything done through your account is treated as done by you, so tell us straight away if you think someone else is in it.

you can sign in with google instead of a password. if you do, keeping that account is how you keep access to lynxr — we cannot let you in if you lose it, and google's terms govern the sign-in itself. you can set a lynxr password at any time from the sign-in card if you would rather not depend on it.

one account per person. accounts are for you, not for a team to share, and not for reselling access to.

you must be 18 or older to use lynxr. lynxr is not for children and we do not knowingly open accounts for anyone under 18. if we find out an account belongs to someone under 18 we will close it and delete what it holds.

you can delete your account yourself, at any time, from settings. it is immediate and we cannot undo it: your companies, your saved links and your scripts go with it. what does not go is the record of the public videos you pasted and what we extracted from them — that is filed under the video’s own address, carries nothing that identifies you, and is described in the privacy policy.

the videos you send us

lynxr only accepts a link. there is no upload, and we do not want your files.

when you paste a link we download the video, transcribe it, take frames from it, and store what we extracted — the transcript, the shot list and the structure — along with the link itself, one still frame, and whatever public information the platform gives us about it.

by sending a link you confirm that you have the right to reference that material for this purpose: that it is publicly posted, that sending it does not break the platform’s rules or anyone’s agreement with you, and that you are not sending us anything obtained by getting around a login, a paywall or a privacy setting.

do not send us private, unlisted or confidential videos, a client’s unreleased material, or anything covered by an NDA. if a video will not download because the platform requires a login, that is the platform saying no, and we treat it as no.

if you are the creator of a video in our library and would rather it were not, email us and we will remove it. you do not have to explain why.

our library of public videos

lynxr is built on a library of publicly posted short-form videos collected from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube — several thousand of them — plus everything creators paste into the app. for each video we hold the link, the handle that posted it, the caption, the public engagement numbers, and machine-generated notes about how it is built: a transcript, a shot list, and the format.

we are being plain about what that is and is not:

• it is used to understand format — structure, pacing, how a hook is built. that is what we sell the benefit of.
• it is not published, not resold, and not visible to anyone outside our staff.
• we do not republish anyone’s video, or their words, as content.
• we claim no ownership of anyone else’s video. the creator keeps every right they had; nothing about being in our library changes that.

the scripts lynxr writes for you are new text about your subject. they are not copies of the source video’s words, and lynxr is not built to reproduce them.

the scripts lynxr writes

this is the section to read twice.

• a machine wrote it. scripts are generated by an AI model from the material described above. no human at lynxr reviews a script before you see it.
• it is a draft, not advice. a script is a suggestion for you to judge, edit and decide about.
• we do not promise it will perform. no views, no engagement, no conversion, no result of any kind. anyone promising you that about short-form video is guessing.
• we do not promise it is original, and we cannot guarantee it does not resemble something that already exists. AI models can produce text close to material they were trained on, and two videos about the same product can land on the same line honestly.
• we do not promise it is accurate. a script may state something about a product that is simply wrong. if you are making a claim about a company’s product — what it contains, what it does, what it is approved for — check it before you publish it.
• you are responsible for what you publish. before you post, satisfy yourself that it is yours to post: that it does not copy someone else’s work, that it follows the platform’s rules and any advertising-disclosure law that applies to you, and that it meets whatever you agreed with the company you are making it for.

who owns what

your work is yours. the companies you add, the notes you write, and the scripts lynxr produces for you — as between you and us, they are yours to use, edit, publish and be paid for. we claim no ownership of your content and we do not need a licence to publish it, because we never publish it.

we do need permission to run the service: to store your work, show it back to you, and send the necessary parts to the providers listed in the privacy policy so a script can be produced. that permission is limited to operating lynxr for you and ends when you delete your account, except for the format record described above, which carries nothing identifying you.

a machine-generated script may not be protected by copyright the way something you wrote yourself is. that is a fact about the law, not a term we are imposing, and it is worth knowing if the script matters commercially to you.

lynxr itself is ours — the software, the interface, the name and the marks. these terms give you permission to use it, and nothing else. do not copy it, resell access to it, or take it apart to rebuild it.

using it properly

do not use lynxr to:

• pretend to be someone else, or make content that passes itself off as another person or brand;
• send us material you have no right to send, including anything behind a login, a paywall or a privacy setting;
• produce spam, bulk near-identical content at scale, or anything designed to mislead people;
• make content that is illegal, hateful, sexual involving minors, or that harasses somebody;
• reach data that is not yours — other creators’ accounts, scripts or libraries, or our internal tools — or to probe, scrape or overload the service;
• resell lynxr, share your account, or run it on behalf of people who do not have accounts;
• break a platform’s own terms using something lynxr gave you.

if you find a security hole, tell us before you tell anyone else. we will not come after somebody who reports a genuine flaw in good faith and does not go digging in other people’s data with it.

payments

lynxr is free while it is in early access. that is a description of today, not a promise about tomorrow: we intend to charge for lynxr, and these terms do not entitle you to free access indefinitely.

nothing starts billing your card because you left an account open. the free tier is 25 scripts for the lifetime of the account and stays free: no card, and no trial that turns into a subscription.

lynxr pro, and what you are agreeing to pay

lynxr pro is $24.99 per month, billed monthly in advance, in USD, with tax added where it is required. the current price and what is included are on the pricing page.

Paddle.com is the merchant of record — the party you contract with for the payment itself. Paddle issues all invoices and all refunds, and is who your card statement will name.

pro includes up to 300 scripts in any rolling 30-day period, and up to 30 in any 24 hours. the 30-day window rolls continuously and does not reset on your billing date — each script counts against you for 30 days from the moment it is written, and room comes back as older ones age out. we may raise a limit on request, and we will contact an account that persistently exceeds fair use before we take any action on it.

you can cancel at any time. cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and there is no pro-rata refund for the unused part of it.

there is a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first payment, and a refund ends access immediately — a refunded month is not a month you keep. the refund policy sets out how this works and forms part of these terms.

if a payment fails, Paddle retries it for a few days before the account drops to the free tier. nothing you have already written is deleted.

suspending or ending access

you can stop at any time by deleting your account.

we can suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we are required to, or if keeping your account open puts the service or other people at risk. where it is reasonable to do so we will tell you why and give you a chance to put it right first — and for anything short of serious misuse, a chance to copy out your scripts.

we can also end access simply because early access is ending or changing. that is not a judgement about you.

what we do not promise

lynxr is provided as is and as available. to the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind — express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement — and we do not warrant that lynxr will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any output will be accurate, original or suitable for your purpose.

some places do not allow a business to exclude certain warranties or consumer rights. where that is true, that law wins and nothing here takes away a right you have by statute.

limits on liability

to the extent the law allows: we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost opportunities, lost or damaged content, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of lynxr — including anything that follows from publishing a script it wrote.

our total liability to you for any claim relating to lynxr is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars.

you agree to cover us for claims brought against us because of material you sent to lynxr that you had no right to send, or because of content you published using a script.

so far as the law allows, our total liability to you for anything connected to lynxr is limited to the greater of one hundred US dollars or what you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. we are not liable for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or indirect or consequential loss.

nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited — including for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and anything else a court will not allow to be capped.

drafted, not reviewed — this cap, the indemnity above and how both interact with consumer law need a lawyer’s sign-off before lynxr takes payments.

changes to these terms

we can change these terms. when we do we will update the date at the top, and if a change materially affects you — what you are responsible for, what we may do with your work, or the introduction of charges — we will email the address on your account at least 14 days before it takes effect, and say plainly what changed.

if you do not accept a change, stop using lynxr and delete your account before it takes effect. continuing to use it after that date means you accept the new terms.

we will not apply a change retroactively to something you have already published.

law and disputes

these terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. a dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts sitting in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, and you and we each agree to those courts.

drafted, not reviewed — Massachusetts is where lynxr LLC is formed, but this choice has real consequences for creators outside the United States and needs a lawyer’s sign-off.

until that is settled, nothing here waives any right you have to bring a claim where you live.

the rest

if a term here turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. not enforcing something once does not mean giving it up. these terms plus the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about lynxr, and they replace anything said before. you cannot transfer this agreement to somebody else; we can transfer it if lynxr moves to another company, and we will tell you if that happens.
