Agreement to Terms
By using Teilify, you agree to these Terms of Service. We've written them in plain English because we believe you deserve to understand what you're agreeing to. If you don't agree with these terms, please don't use the platform.

You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. If we terminate your account, we'll tell you why and give you a chance to appeal.
Revenue Sharing Terms

- Teils entitle you to 50% of the project's non-ad revenue, distributed proportionally

Viewer Rewards
- You earn 20% of ad revenue from content you watch
- Earnings are tracked automatically based on verified watch time
- Minimum payout threshold is $10
- Fraudulent viewing (bots, auto-play farms) will result in account termination
Content Guidelines
What's Allowed
We believe in free expression. You can create and share almost anything, including controversial opinions, adult content (marked appropriately), political commentary, and creative works of all kinds.
What's Not Allowed
- Illegal content: Child exploitation, terrorism, human trafficking, etc.
- Copyright infringement: Content you don't have rights to
- Fraud: Scams, fake projects, misleading backers
- Doxxing: Sharing private information without consent
- Spam: Mass automated content or manipulation
Intellectual Property
Your Content
You own your content. Period. By uploading to Teilify, you grant us a license to host, distribute, and display your content. This license is non-exclusive (you can post elsewhere) and ends when you delete your content.
Our Platform
Teilify's code, design, and branding are our property. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute them without permission.
Copyright Claims
If you believe content on Teilify infringes your copyright, email us at copyright@teilify.com with details. We'll investigate and take appropriate action.
Liability & Disclaimers
Platform Availability
We strive for 99.9% uptime, but we can't guarantee the platform will always be available. We're not liable for losses due to downtime, bugs, or technical issues.
Backing Risk
Backing projects carries risk. Projects may fail, earnings may be zero, and Teil values may decrease. We don't guarantee returns. Only back projects you believe in and can afford to lose.
User Content
We're not responsible for user-generated content. Creators are responsible for their own content. If you see something illegal, report it to us immediately.
Dispute Resolution
Contact Us First
If you have a problem, please contact us at support@teilify.com. We'll do our best to resolve it fairly and quickly.
Arbitration
If we can't resolve a dispute informally, we'll use binding arbitration instead of going to court. This is faster and cheaper for everyone.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. We'll notify you of significant changes via email and display a notice on the platform for 30 days. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.
Important: We will NEVER change the revenue split percentages without a platform-wide vote. The 50/30/20 split is sacred.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States. Any disputes will be resolved in Delaware courts or through arbitration.
