By downloading or using the Reel Lies app or visiting reellies.ai (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. We will notify you of material changes via in-app message or email.

You may not create accounts for others without their permission, use another person's account, or use automated tools to create accounts.
4. Gameplay and scoring
Reel Lies is a game of skill and judgment. Scores, XP, streaks, and leaderboard rankings are computed by our servers. We reserve the right to adjust scores if we detect manipulation, cheating, or technical errors. Scores and rankings have no monetary value and are not transferable.
5. Creator Mode — content you upload
5.1 What you may upload
Creator Mode lets you submit short video clips for other players to judge. You may only upload videos that:
- Are entirely AI-generated (no real footage of real people or events presented as AI-generated).
- Do not contain sexually explicit, graphic violence, or hate speech.
- Do not violate any third party's copyright, trademark, or other rights.
- Do not contain private or personally identifiable information of others.
- Comply with applicable law in your jurisdiction.
5.2 Prohibited uploads
- Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) or deepfakes of real, identifiable individuals.

5.3 License you grant us
By uploading content, you grant Reel Lies a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to store, display, distribute within the app, and use the video for training and improving AI detection models. You retain ownership of your content. This license continues even if you delete your account for content that has already been voted on, in anonymized/dissociated form, as described in our Privacy Policy.
5.4 Moderation
All uploads are reviewed before becoming visible. We may remove content that violates these Terms without notice and may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate them.

7. In-app purchases
Certain features may be available through in-app purchases (“IAP”) processed by Apple (iOS) and managed through RevenueCat.

8. Intellectual property
Reel Lies, the app design, name, logos, game mechanics, and all content we create (excluding your uploads) are our intellectual property or our licensors'. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of our intellectual property to you.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or completely secure.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Reel Lies and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
