Terms of Service
Last updated: 2025-02-28
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SilkName ("Service," "we," "our," or "us") — a web-based AI name generator operated by an individual developer. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing, browsing, or using SilkName (including its website, features, and any content or functionality), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by any applicable policies referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. The Service is offered globally; your use constitutes acceptance regardless of your location.
2. Description of Service
SilkName is a digital, web-based tool that uses artificial intelligence to generate name suggestions based on user-provided inputs (e.g., preferences, interests, or criteria). The Service is provided as-is and may include:
- A free usage tier subject to usage limits (e.g., quota per session or device) as displayed within the Service.
- Paid options to unlock additional usage or features, processed via third-party payment providers (e.g., PayPal).
No account or registration is required to use the free tier. The Service is a digital-only product; no physical goods are delivered. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice.
AI-generated content. All name suggestions and other output produced by the Service are generated by algorithms and are provided for reference and inspiration only. They do not constitute legal, professional, or personalized advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating and using any generated content and for any decisions you make based on it. We do not guarantee accuracy, suitability, or availability of any name in any jurisdiction.
3. User Responsibilities
You are responsible for your conduct and for all content you submit or transmit through the Service. You agree to:
- Provide accurate information when required (e.g., for payment or support) and to keep such information current.
- Use the Service only in compliance with these Terms and with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Not share access credentials, payment links, or unlock keys in a manner that violates these Terms or enables unauthorized use.
- Accept that usage limits (including free quota) may be enforced by technical means (e.g., IP address, device or browser identifiers) and that circumventing such limits is prohibited.
You are solely responsible for any consequences of your use of the Service and of any AI-generated content you rely upon.
4. Prohibited Uses
You may not use the Service:
- In any way that violates applicable laws or regulations.
- To infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity.
- To transmit malware, engage in unauthorized access, or otherwise harm the Service, our systems, or other users.
- To circumvent or attempt to circumvent usage limits, access controls, or payment requirements.
- To resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its output in a manner not expressly permitted by us.
- To use the Service for any illegal, fraudulent, or harmful purpose, or to submit content that is defamatory, obscene, or that harasses or harms others.
We may suspend or terminate your access and take other appropriate action if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in prohibited conduct.
5. Intellectual Property
The Service (including its design, text, graphics, software, and underlying technology) is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Service.
You retain any rights you have in content you submit to the Service. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, process, and store that content solely to provide and improve the Service (including name generation and related functionality). We do not claim ownership of the name suggestions generated for you; however, we do not guarantee that any generated name is available for use, trademark, or registration in any jurisdiction — that is your responsibility to verify.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service or our materials without our prior written consent, except as permitted by applicable law.
6. Payments and Refunds
Paid features (e.g., unlocked usage or premium options) are offered as indicated on the Service. Payment is processed by third-party providers (e.g., PayPal). By making a purchase, you agree to the applicable provider's terms and to pay all fees associated with your purchase. Prices and currency are as displayed at the time of purchase.
Digital product; no automatic refunds. Because SilkName delivers a digital product (access to features or usage), once access has been granted we are generally unable to reverse the delivery. Refunds are considered only in exceptional circumstances (e.g., technical failure preventing delivery of the paid feature, or as required by applicable law). Refund requests must be sent to [email protected] with your transaction details. Any refund we choose to grant is at our sole discretion and may be processed via the original payment method in accordance with the payment provider's rules. Chargebacks or disputes initiated without first contacting us may result in suspension of access to the Service.
7. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy or reliability of the Service or any content generated by it.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. AI-generated content (including name suggestions) is provided for reference and inspiration only; we do not warrant that it is accurate, legally available, or suitable for your purposes. You use the Service and any generated content at your own risk.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- Exclusion of consequential and indirect damages. In no event shall we (or our operator, affiliates, or suppliers) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service or any content generated by it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
- Cap on liability. Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty United States dollars (USD 50). If you have not paid us, our liability is limited to fifty United States dollars (USD 50).
- Basis of the bargain. The limitations and exclusions in this section apply regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) and even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
The Service is operated by an individual developer. You agree that these limitations of liability are reasonable and reflect the nature of a low-cost, digital, as-is service.
9. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (or any part of it) at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for violation of these Terms, fraud, abuse, or for operational or legal reasons.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, and General provisions) will survive termination.
We are not liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access. Where the Service is discontinued generally, we will use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice where practicable.
10. Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Any dispute shall be resolved in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under mandatory consumer protection or other applicable laws in your place of residence.
11. Changes to Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may provide additional notice (e.g., a notice on the Service or by email where we have your contact details) as required by applicable law.
Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Service. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
