Terms and Conditions for GrumpyGit.uk

Effective Date: 15 August 2025

1. The Gist (The Bit You Should Actually Read)

Welcome to GrumpyGit.uk. We provide some AI-powered analysis tools, articles, and other services (the “Service”). These terms are the legally binding rules for using our Service. By creating an account or using our website, you are agreeing to these terms in full. If you don’t agree with them, then you can’t use the Service. Simple as that. You must be at least 18 years old to use this Service.

2. Definitions

  • “We,” “Us,” “Our”: Refers to GrumpyGit.uk and its legal owner Grant Visser.
  • “You,” “Your”: Refers to you, the user of our Service.
  • “Service”: Includes the website grumpygit.uk, all of its content, and the tools we provide, including but not limited to the AI Content Analyser, Violation Forensics Tool, and TikTok Video Downloader.
  • “Subscription”: A recurring payment plan (e.g., The Creator, The Insider) that grants you access to specific features and a monthly allowance of Analysis Tokens.
  • “Analysis Tokens”, “TopUp Tokens” or “Tokens”: The virtual currency used on our site to run analyses with our tools. Tokens are either granted as part of a Subscription or purchased in separate bundles. (These terms are in the process of being removed, along with the tokens themselves. – refer to 5. Fair Use Policy, below)

3. Your Account and Responsibilities

  • Registration: To access our tools, you must register for an account and provide accurate, complete information. You are responsible for keeping this information up to date.
  • Security: You are responsible for the security of your account and your password. If you think your account has been compromised, you must notify us immediately. We are not liable for any losses caused by unauthorised use of your account.
  • One Person, One Account: You must not allow any other person to use your account. The “Agency” membership will have specific terms for multi-user access when it launches.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

  • Subscriptions: Our paid memberships (“Insider’s Circle” tiers) are offered on a monthly or annual subscription basis. By signing up for a Subscription, you authorise us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
  • Billing Cycle: Subscriptions are billed in advance on the first day of your billing cycle.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel your Subscription at any time through your “My Account” page. The cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not provide pro-rata refunds for cancellations made mid-cycle.
  • Price Changes: We reserve the right to change the price of our Subscriptions or Token bundles. We will provide you with at least 30 days’ notice of any price changes.
  • Refunds & Right to Cancel: You have a statutory right to cancel your initial Subscription purchase within 14 days of your order. However, this right is waived if you begin to use the paid Service (for example, by running an analysis with a tool). By using a paid feature of the Service within the 14-day cooling-off period, you acknowledge and agree that your right to a refund under this provision is lost. All purchases of Token bundles are final and non-refundable under any circumstances.

5. Fair Use Policy (The “Unlimited” Rules)

We offer “Unlimited” access to our tools for our paid subscribers because we hate counting beans as much as you do. We want you to create content, not worry about credits. However, “Unlimited” is defined by reasonable & fair human usage, not industrial-scale automation or “taking advantage”.

5.1. The “Human” Benchmark
Our tools are designed to assist individual creators and analysts. Usage that exceeds what a single human could reasonably process in an hour/day (reading the reports, watching the videos, making decisions) will be flagged.

  • Velocity Limits: If you are requesting analyses faster than a human can physically click and read, our system will trigger a “velocity bump” and pause your access for a cooling-off period.
  • Volume Caps: While we do not display a hard counter, we enforce generous daily and hourly caps to prevent abuse. If you hit these caps, you will be asked to take a break.

5.2. Prohibited Behaviours
To protect the Service availability for all users, the following are strictly prohibited on standard Subscription plans:

  • Automation: Using scripts, bots, scrapers, or extensions to auto-run our tools.
  • Account Sharing: Sharing your login details with a team or using a single account to run a multi-person agency (unless you are on a specific Agency plan).
  • Reselling: Systematically processing data via our Service to resell the raw reports or data to third parties.

5.3. Our Rights to Throttle
If your usage patterns trigger our abuse detection systems or put a strain on our API resources that degrades the service for others, we reserve the right to:

  1. Temporarily throttle your processing speed.
  2. Impose a mandatory “cooling-off” period (e.g., 1 hour or 24 hours).
  3. In extreme cases of persistent abuse, suspend or terminate your account without refund.

In short: Use the tools as much as you need to do your job. Don’t try to download the entire internet or run a bot farm on our dime.

6. Promotions and Special Offers

  • From time to time, We may offer special promotions, discounts, or offers (“Promotions”). All Promotions are subject to their own specific rules, terms, and eligibility requirements which will be stated at the time of the offer.
  • Launch Special Offers: Any user who subscribes under a “for life” discount Promotion (such as the “50% Off For Life” launch offer) is entitled to retain that discount for as long as their Subscription remains continuously active.
  • If a Subscription associated with a “for life” offer is cancelled (either by you or by us due to non-payment) or is otherwise allowed to lapse, the offer is permanently voided. You will not be eligible to receive that same promotional discount if you choose to re-subscribe at a later date.

7. The AI Tools: The Grumpy Disclaimer

This is important, so pay attention.

  • For Informational Purposes Only: The output from our AI tools (the “Analysis”) is for informational and educational purposes only. It is the AI’s best guess based on the data provided and its training. It is not a guarantee of compliance, viral potential, or performance on any social media platform.
  • TikTok is the Final Authority: TikTok’s Community Guidelines, Terms of Service, and moderation algorithms are complex, constantly changing, and often opaque. The final decision on whether a video violates their policies rests solely with them. Our Analysis is a strategic guide, not a legal guarantee.
  • No Liability: We accept no liability for any action you take based on the Analysis provided by our tools, including but not limited to content removal, account suspension, or loss of earnings. Your own best judgment isn’t just recommended; it’s required.

8. Acceptable Use (Don’t Be a Muppet)

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Do anything illegal, fraudulent, or harmful.
  • Upload or analyse content that you do not have the rights to use.
  • Analyse content that is hateful, abusive, violent, or pornographic.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise figure out how our tools work.
  • Use any automated means (bots, scrapers) to access the Service, other than for legitimate search engine indexing.
  • Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any part of our Service or its output without our express written permission.

9. Content Storage and Deletion Policy

  • You are solely responsible for saving and backing up all content you create or download using the Service, including transcripts and downloaded video files.
  • To protect your privacy, our AI analysis tools process your content without permanently storing it on our servers. To provide the Downloader Service, downloaded files are stored temporarily on our server for your convenience. We reserve the right to, and will, automatically delete these temporarily stored files from our servers after a set period (e.g., 12-24 hours) to maintain system resources and ensure privacy. We are not a file storage service, and you agree that we have no liability for the deletion or failure to store any files.

10. Intellectual Property

  • Our Content: We and our licensors own all intellectual property rights to the Service, including the website design, logos, text, and the underlying code of our tools. These are protected by copyright.
  • Your Content: “Your Content” means the videos, URLs, and other materials you submit for analysis. You retain all ownership rights to Your Content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use, process, and analyse Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  • The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
  • To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, resulting from your use of the Service.
  • Nothing in these terms will limit or exclude any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, such as liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.

12. Termination

  • By You: You can cancel your Subscription and stop using the Service at any time via your Account page.
  • By Us: We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, without notice, if you breach these terms.

13. General Legal Stuff

  • Variation: We may revise these terms from time to time. The revised terms will apply from the date of their publication on our website.
  • Entire Agreement: These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to your use of our Service.
  • Severability: If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue to be in full force and effect.
  • Law and Jurisdiction: These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
