Our Services and the materials on our website are provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. To the extent permitted by law, Choppity makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and hereby disclaims and negates all other warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that the Services will always be available.

In no event shall Choppity, its personnel or its suppliers be liable for any consequential loss suffered or incurred by you or any third party arising from the use or inability to use our Services, even if Choppity or an authorized representative has been notified, orally or in writing, of the possibility of such damage.

If we fail to perform our Services to the expected standard our sole liability to you is for us to re-provide the Services to you.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.

Schedule 1 — Violation Grading and Handling

We operate a graded handling mechanism for violations of these Terms and applicable law. Each incident is assessed and classified into one of four levels. Measures may be escalated or combined based on severity, intent, frequency, and cumulative violation history.

Level 1 – Minor Violations

Examples include: automated or bulk sign-up abuse; minor misuse of metadata (titles, captions, tags, or scheduling fields); first-time circumvention of non-security usage limits; low-severity API or webhook misuse; or other first-time, non-malicious breaches that do not expose other users or third parties to harm.
Handling: We will issue a warning to the account holder (and, where relevant, the team owner), flag the affected content, and allow the user to correct the issue. The incident is logged.

Level 2 – Moderate Violations

Examples include: repeated Level 1 conduct; misleading or deceptive exported or published content; harassment of team members or support staff; minor intellectual property complaints relating to uploaded or published media; abuse of analysis, rendering, or storage allowances; or deliberate circumvention of plan limits, quotas, or platform technical restrictions.
Handling: We will remove or restrict the offending content (including clips, rendered outputs, and queued or scheduled social posts), issue a formal warning, and may temporarily restrict specific features — such as social account connection, direct publishing or scheduling to connected platforms, clip generation, video analysis, rendering, exports, API access, or team invitations. The incident is logged.

Level 3 – Serious Violations

Examples include: confirmed copyright or other intellectual property infringement in stored or published media; hate speech; sustained harassment or coordinated abuse; adult or sexual content distributed through the Service; fraud, scams, or impersonation; distribution of malware or phishing via uploads, links, or integrations; or unauthorised use of connected social accounts.
Handling: We will remove the content immediately, revoke affected social and distribution integrations, suspend the user account and/or team pending review, and may suspend analysis, rendering, storage, and billing-related operations. Repeat offenders are subject to permanent account termination. The incident is logged with supporting evidence.

Level 4 – Severe Violations and Illegal Conduct

Examples include: child sexual abuse material (CSAM); content depicting or inciting terrorism or violent extremism; credible threats of violence; or any other content or conduct prohibited by applicable law.
Handling: We will remove the content, preserve it as evidence where legally required, permanently terminate the account and disable associated team access, and report to appropriate authorities or industry bodies where we are legally obligated or permitted to do so. The incident is logged.

Appeals

You may appeal a handling decision by contacting us via in-app support, https://choppity.com/contact, or hi@choppity.com. Appeals are reviewed by a person who was not the original decision-maker, where practicable. We cannot guarantee that your appeal will be heard within any particular period of time.

Violation Log Retention

We maintain complete handling logs for violation-related events for a minimum of 180 days, including violation description, determination basis, disposal measures taken, and outcome. Logs related to illegal content, law enforcement requests, or litigation are retained for the longer period required by applicable law.

Waiver and Severability

No failure or delay by us in exercising any right under these Terms constitutes a waiver of that right. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Schedule 2 — Affiliate Program

The following Terms of Service ("Affiliate Terms") outline the agreement between you (referred to as "you" or "Affiliate") and Mizko Media Pty Ltd t/a Choppity ("Choppity," "we," or "us") regarding your participation in our Affiliate Program. Please read these Terms carefully before joining our Affiliate Program. By signing up as an affiliate and promoting Choppity, you agree to be bound by these Affiliate Terms.

These Affiliate Terms form part of, and are subject to, Choppity's main Terms of Service. In the event of any inconsistency between these Affiliate Terms and the main Terms of Service, the main Terms of Service will prevail.

Affiliate Program Overview

1.1 Eligibility: To become an affiliate, you must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Affiliate Terms. By participating in our Affiliate Program, you confirm that you meet these requirements. You must also maintain an active Choppity account in good standing for the duration of your participation.
1.2 Commission: As an Affiliate, you are eligible to receive a commission of 20% on Net Revenue from qualifying purchases made by customers referred by you. The commission is a lifetime recurring commission, which means you will earn a commission for each subsequent qualifying purchase made by a referred customer. "Net Revenue" means the amount actually received by Choppity after deducting any refunds, discounts, chargebacks, taxes, and payment processing fees. Customers on free trials do not constitute qualifying purchases until they convert to a paid plan. Discounted or promotional plans earn commission based on the discounted amount actually paid.
1.3 Referral Attribution: For a referral to be attributed to you, the referred customer must convert within 60 days of visiting choppity.com through your unique affiliate link or using your affiliate tracking code. We rely on accurate tracking and conversion data to credit you with the appropriate commission. We are not liable for any failure to track referrals caused by factors outside our reasonable control, including ad blockers, browser privacy settings, third-party cookie restrictions, or platform tracking limitations. It is your responsibility to ensure your affiliate links are correctly implemented.

Affiliate Responsibilities

2.1 Promotion: As an Affiliate, you are responsible for promoting choppity.com using the provided affiliate materials, such as banners, text links, and social media content. You may also create your own promotional materials, as long as they comply with applicable laws and regulations and do not misrepresent Choppity or its products. Any promotional materials you create that use Choppity's name, logo, trademarks, screenshots, or branding must comply with our Intellectual Property clause. We reserve the right to require you to amend or remove any promotional materials that we reasonably consider to be non-compliant, misleading, or damaging to our brand.
2.2 Required Disclosures: You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the disclosure of your affiliate relationship with Choppity. You must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship in all promotional content, including through appropriate disclosures such as "#ad", "#sponsored", or equivalent language required by applicable law. We accept no liability for your failure to make required disclosures.
2.3 Non-Disparagement: You must not make any false, misleading, or disparaging statements about Choppity, its products, its staff, or its other affiliates or customers, or our competitors, whether in promotional content or otherwise.
2.4 Compliance: You agree to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines related to your participation in the Affiliate Program. This includes, but is not limited to, complying with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
2.5 Prohibited Activities: You must not engage in any activities that may harm the reputation of Choppity or violate any laws. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to, spamming, unauthorized use of trademarks, misleading advertising, and engaging in any form of fraudulent activity. Affiliates are prohibited from running PPC or other paid advertisements promoting Choppity. Affiliates are also prohibited from bidding on Choppity's brand keywords in any paid search campaign.
2.6 Competing Products: Your participation in our Affiliate Program does not restrict you from promoting competing products, unless we have entered into a separate written exclusivity agreement with you.

Commission Payments

3.1 Payment Terms: Commissions are paid on a monthly basis, subject to a minimum payout threshold of $100. If your commission balance does not meet the minimum payout threshold, the balance will carry over to the next month until the threshold is reached.
3.2 Payment Method: We will make commission payments to you via the payment method you specified during the affiliate registration process. It is your responsibility to provide accurate payment information, and any fees associated with the payment method will be borne by you.
3.3 Commission Adjustments: Choppity reserves the right to adjust or withhold commission payments in the event of suspected fraud, chargebacks, or violations of these Terms. We may also claw back commissions if the referred customer cancels their purchase or engages in fraudulent activities. Where a referred customer cancels their subscription, we will claw back only the commission attributable to the specific billing period in which the cancellation or refund occurs. We will not claw back commissions already paid in respect of prior billing periods, except where the cancellation arises from fraud, a chargeback, or a violation of these terms by you or the referred customer. Where refunds or other payments are made back to the Customer after paying you commission, then we may deduct this from any future commission due to you.
3.4 Accrued Commissions on Termination: Where this agreement is terminated by either party without cause under clause 4.1 of the Affiliate Terms, any commissions that have accrued but not yet been paid as at the date of termination will be paid to you in the next scheduled monthly payment cycle, provided they meet the minimum payout threshold. For the avoidance of doubt, no accrued commissions will be payable where the agreement is terminated for cause under clause 4.2 of the Affiliate Terms.

Term and Termination

4.1 Term: These Affiliate Terms will remain in effect until terminated by either party. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party.
4.2 Termination for Cause: We may terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program immediately, without prior notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms or engaged in any prohibited activities. Termination for cause may result in the forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

General Provisions

5.1 Modifications: Choppity reserves the right to modify these Affiliate Terms at any time on 14 days notice to you by emailing the updated Affiliate Terms to you. Continued participation in the Affiliate Program after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Affiliate Terms.
5.2 Audit Rights: We reserve the right to audit your affiliate activities and promotional materials at any time to verify compliance with these Affiliate Terms. You agree to cooperate with any such audit and provide us with reasonable access to information relevant to your affiliate activities upon request. If an audit reveals a breach of these Affiliate Terms, we may recover any costs of the audit from you in addition to any other remedies available to us.
5.3 Governing Law: These affiliate terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, and in accordance with the main Terms of Service.
