Read this first. These Website Terms of Use do not govern your use of the SFN AI product.
These Website Terms of Use ("Site Terms") cover one narrow thing: browsing shortformnation.com. They deal with who owns the content on the page, what you may do with it, how to read our marketing claims, how to report a copyright problem, and where to find our Privacy Policy. That is the whole of it.
The SFN AI platform and services are separate from this website. Signing up for an SFN AI account, purchasing or running a campaign, using the SFN AI product, and earning content rewards are governed by the separate agreement that applies to those services. Nothing on this page changes, adds to, narrows, or waives anything in that agreement.
There are no fees, billing terms, subscription terms, refund terms, creator payment terms, or content rewards terms on this page. There is no arbitration agreement on this page. Visiting the Site does not put any of those terms in place and does not import them here.
1.1 "SFN", "we", "us", and "our" mean Short Form Nation, Inc., doing business as SFN AI.
1.2 "Site" means shortformnation.com and the subdomains and pages SFN operates as public marketing and informational material. The Site does not include the SFN AI web app, or any page reached after you sign in to an SFN AI account.
1.3 "you" means any person who accesses the Site.
1.4 "customer or creator" means a person who has an SFN AI account, who is authorized to use the account of a person who has one, who has engaged SFN for any SFN AI service, or who receives or earns anything under an SFN AI creator program, including a content reward. It does not matter whether that person has ever signed in to an SFN AI account or used any SFN AI product.
2.1 These Site Terms apply to anyone who accesses the Site.
2.2 If you are a customer or creator, your use of the SFN AI services is governed by the separate agreement that applies to those services, not by this page. These Site Terms are supplemental only, and nothing in them varies, narrows, or adds to that agreement.
2.3 Age. The SFN AI services are not directed to children, and you must be at least 18 years old to create an SFN AI account. To take part in content rewards, to earn or receive a content reward, or to complete the identity-verification and payout process, you must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher. Age is checked when SFN verifies your identity.
2.4 Children's data. Separately from Section 2.3, and as a statement about data collection rather than an age condition: the Site is not directed to children under 13, and SFN does not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 through the Site. If SFN learns that it has collected such information, SFN will take reasonable steps to address it, including deleting the information, consistent with the Privacy Policy referenced at Section 9. Nothing in this Section 2.4 permits any person to use the Site or the SFN AI services who is not otherwise permitted to do so.
3.1 The Site and its content, including text, graphics, photographs, video, illustrations, layout, visual design, and the code that renders the pages, are owned by SFN or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws.
3.2 You may view the Site in a browser, and you may download or print a copy of a page for your own reference or to evaluate whether to do business with SFN. You may link to the Site, and you may quote a reasonable extract with attribution for news reporting, commentary, teaching, or research.
3.3 Anything beyond Section 3.2 requires our prior written permission. That includes republishing, redistributing, selling, or incorporating Site content into a product, a dataset, or a training corpus.
3.4 Nothing in these Site Terms grants you any right in the SFN AI platform, the SFN AI services, the outputs, the models, the methodologies, or the aggregated data. Visiting the Site grants no right in any of them. Except for any license SFN expressly grants you in connection with the SFN AI services, SFN reserves all right, title, and interest in them.
4.1 SFN AI, Short Form Nation, Coherence Score, Content DNA, Angle Library, FYP Leaks, and Focus Feed, together with SFN's other names, logos, product names, and marks, are the trademarks and service marks of SFN. You acquire no right, title, or interest in any of them.
4.2 Visiting the Site gives you no license to use any SFN mark.
4.3 You may refer to SFN AI by name to describe or report on us accurately. You may not use an SFN mark in a way that suggests we endorse you or are affiliated with you, and you may not adopt any name, mark, or domain that is confusingly similar to an SFN mark.
4.4 Third-party names and logos that appear on the Site, including TikTok, TikTok Shop, Discord, Stripe, and Trolley, belong to their respective owners. Their appearance describes an integration, a dependency, or a service provider relationship. It does not mean that any of those companies endorses SFN or has reviewed anything on the Site.
This section matters. Please read it.
5.1 The Site is marketing material. It describes what SFN AI does, shows examples of work, and reports figures drawn from our own data and from customer results. It is not a specification of the SFN AI services, a service level, a price quote, a warranty, or an offer capable of acceptance.
5.2 Figures, examples, case studies, and testimonials are historical and illustrative. Any number, benchmark, chart, screenshot, case study, testimonial, creator result, GMV figure, or before-and-after comparison on the Site describes what happened in a particular account, over a particular period, under particular conditions. Results vary widely between shops, categories, price points, creator rosters, and time periods. Individual results are not typical, and past results do not predict future results. Nothing of that kind promises or commits SFN to any GMV, views, reach, impressions, engagement, sales, revenue, conversion, follower growth, shop performance score, or other result for you.
5.3 Forward-looking statements are intentions, not commitments. Statements on the Site about future or planned capability, including statements using words such as "will", "coming soon", "roadmap", "in development", "next", or "soon", describe our current intentions and expectations as at the date they were published. They are not commitments. SFN has no obligation to build, ship, launch, or maintain any capability described on the Site, and no obligation to update the Site when plans change. Some capabilities shown or described on the Site are in active development and are not fully released.
5.4 Product imagery may not match what is generally available. Product screenshots, interface images, demo videos, and animations on the Site may show features in development, sample or simulated data, or a configuration different from the one you would see in your own account.
5.5 What is actually binding. Nothing on the Site is a binding commitment by SFN about the SFN AI services. SFN makes binding commitments about those services only in the separate agreement that applies to them, in a signed order form or pricing schedule, and in a performance guarantee that SFN has expressly offered and recorded in an order form. Nothing on the Site adds to, varies, waives, or expands any of those.
5.6 Nothing here is advice, and nothing here is a securities offer. Site content is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, regulatory, or compliance advice, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. Nothing on the Site is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security.
5.7 Accuracy and updating. We prepare the Site with care, but we do not warrant that everything on it is current, complete, or free of error. Pricing, features, availability, partner relationships, integrations, and figures change. We may change or remove Site content at any time without notice, and we do not undertake to update it.
6.1 The Site links to websites, tools, platforms, and resources operated by other people. We do not control them, we do not review them, and we do not endorse them by linking to them.
6.2 If you follow a link off the Site, that destination's own terms and privacy practices apply to you there. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security, or practices of any linked site.
7.1 You may not:
(a) scrape, crawl, spider, harvest, mirror, or use any bot, robot, or other automated means to access the Site or collect content from it;
(b) access the Site in a way that places an unreasonable load on it, including automated bulk requests, stress testing, or load testing;
(c) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Site or any related system, or breach, disable, or circumvent any security, authentication, or rate-limiting measure, except under written authorization from SFN;
(d) upload or transmit malware, or any code intended to damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Site;
(e) frame or mirror the Site, or republish a substantial part of it, or present Site content as your own;
(f) harvest email addresses or other contact details from the Site, or use a contact form, demo-request form, or newsletter form on the Site to send unsolicited commercial messages; or
(g) misrepresent your identity or your affiliation when you submit information through the Site.
7.2 Search-engine crawling: a forbearance, not a permission. As a matter of current practice, SFN does not enforce Section 7.1(a) against a general-purpose search engine that crawls the Site in accordance with the directives published in SFN's robots.txt file. That is a description of what SFN presently chooses not to enforce. It is not a license, not a grant of any right, not consent or authorization to access the Site by automated means, and not a waiver of any right or remedy. SFN may change its robots.txt directives, or stop forbearing, at any time and without notice. Nothing in this Section 7.2 is written authorization to access the Site or the SFN AI services by automated means, and nothing in it gives any person any right in connection with the SFN AI services.
7.3 Scope of this Section 7. This Section 7 states what SFN prohibits on this website, and it is addressed principally to visitors who have no relationship with SFN beyond visiting the Site. If you are a customer or creator, the separate agreement that applies to the SFN AI services also restricts scraping and automated extraction, it governs your conduct on this Site, and it controls. Nothing in this Section 7 narrows that agreement, creates an exception to it, or gives any person a right that it withholds, including under the forbearance in Section 7.2.
7.4 Reporting a security issue. If you find a vulnerability in the Site, please tell us at security@shortformnation.com rather than testing it further.
8.1 Policy. SFN respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects others to do the same. SFN responds to notices of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the "DMCA"). This Section 8 tells you how to reach SFN and what a notice has to contain.
8.2 Designated Agent:
> Syb Vanke, Designated Agent
> Short Form Nation, Inc.
> 2261 Market Street, STE 22574, San Francisco, CA 94114
> Email: legal@shortformnation.com
8.3 Sending a notice of claimed infringement. If you believe that content SFN hosts or makes available infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to the Designated Agent at the address above. The notice must include all of the following:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
(b) identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
(c) identification of the material you say is infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let SFN find it;
(d) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address;
(e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(f) 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.
8.4 What SFN does with a compliant notice. On receiving a notice that meets Section 8.3, SFN will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material complained of, and will take reasonable steps to notify the person who provided it.
8.5 Counter-notice. If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notice to the Designated Agent. The counter-notice must include all of the following:
(a) your physical or electronic signature;
(b) identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
(c) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
(d) your name, address, and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which SFN may be found, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or from that person's agent.
On receiving a counter-notice that meets this Section 8.5, SFN may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA, unless the person who sent the original notice first files an action seeking a court order.
8.6 Repeat infringers. SFN has adopted, and will reasonably implement, a policy of terminating in appropriate circumstances the accounts of people who are repeat infringers. SFN may also, at its discretion, remove content, suspend access, or terminate an account for infringing activity, whether or not a repeat infringer is involved.
8.7 Other intellectual-property complaints. For claims of infringement other than copyright, including trademark, right-of-publicity, and trade-secret claims, write to legal@shortformnation.com with a description of the right at issue, the material you are complaining about and where it appears, and your contact details. SFN will review and respond as it considers appropriate. This channel supplements, and does not replace, the DMCA process in Sections 8.3 to 8.5 for copyright claims.
9.1 How SFN collects, uses, discloses, and retains personal information is described in the SFN AI Privacy Policy at https://www.shortformnation.com/privacy and the SFN AI Cookie Policy at https://www.shortformnation.com/cookies. Please read them. They apply to your visit to this Site.
10.1 This Section 10 is about the Site only. It says nothing about the SFN AI services. It does not restate, vary, extend, or narrow any disclaimer that applies to those services, which is governed by the separate agreement that applies to them.
10.2 The Site is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not commit to any uptime for the Site. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that the Site or the server that delivers it is free of harmful components. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time.
11.1 Read the scope of this section carefully. This Section 11 limits SFN's liability in connection with this website only. It does not limit SFN's liability in connection with the SFN AI services, which is governed by the separate agreement that applies to those services. It does not apply to, reduce, or qualify any obligation SFN owes to a customer or creator in connection with the SFN AI services, including SFN's own obligation to pay a reward that is final, verified, and payable. It creates no monetary cap on anything.
11.2 This Section 11.2 applies only to a person who is not a customer or creator. To the maximum extent permitted by law, SFN is not liable to such a person for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or lost business opportunity, arising out of that person's access to the Site, inability to access the Site, or reliance on Site content. If you are a customer or creator, this Section 11.2 does not apply to you at all. The limitation of SFN's liability to you, including for a claim arising from this Site, is governed by the separate agreement that applies to the SFN AI services.
11.3 Nothing in these Site Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, or any non-waivable right you have under the law of the state in which you reside.
12.1 We may update these Site Terms. The version and date at the top of this page tell you which version is current. If you keep using the Site after an update, the updated Site Terms apply to your continued use. This Section 12 is about these Site Terms only.
13.1 If you are a customer or creator, the separate agreement that applies to the SFN AI services governs. That agreement governs disputes between you and SFN, including disputes about this Site. Nothing in this Section 13 displaces, narrows, or varies it.
13.2 Governing law for these Site Terms. These Site Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
13.3 Why this page carries its own governing-law clause, and what it reaches. These Site Terms are read by people who have accepted nothing else from SFN: visitors with no account, who have agreed to nothing beyond visiting this website. Section 13.2 exists so that those visitors are not left without a stated governing law. Section 13.2 governs use of the Site only. It does not govern the SFN AI services, and it is not a second governing-law rule for anyone who is a customer or creator. Governing law for the SFN AI services, including for a dispute about this Site brought by a customer or creator, is set by the separate agreement that applies to those services.
13.4 No arbitration agreement and no forum selection on this page. These Site Terms contain no arbitration agreement, no class-action waiver, and no clause selecting or consenting to any court venue for a dispute between you and SFN. The consent to jurisdiction described in Section 8.5(d) is an element the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires a counter-notice to contain. It is not a venue term of these Site Terms. Nothing on this page adds to, subtracts from, or otherwise changes any dispute-resolution term in the separate agreement that applies to the SFN AI services, and nothing on this page affects where a claim may be brought.
