Terms of Service
Effective date: [DATE] — placeholder, update before publishing
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using easyVL.com (the "Site") and any of the generator tools available on it (the "Tools"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
1. What this Site is
easyVL.com provides free, browser-based tools that let you create fictional, parody images — such as fake operating-system error messages, fake pop-up dialogs, and fake message/chat screenshots — for entertainment, humor, and novelty purposes. Nothing generated by these Tools depicts a real event, real error, real message, or real communication. All output is fictional.
2. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Site and Tools only for lawful, non-deceptive, entertainment purposes. You agree not to use any image, screenshot, or other content created with our Tools to:
- Deceive, defraud, or attempt to extract money, credentials, or personal information from any person or organization
- Harass, bully, threaten, stalk, or intimidate any individual
- Impersonate a real, identifiable person in a way intended to harm their reputation, deceive others about their statements, or violate their rights
- Fabricate evidence for use in any legal proceeding, academic setting, journalistic publication, or official/governmental context
- Depict, impersonate, or reference any political candidate, elected official, or public figure in connection with an election, campaign, or ballot measure
- Create content that infringes another party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights
- Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation, including laws addressing synthetic or deceptive media
We reserve the right to deny access to the Site to anyone, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms.
3. No affiliation with third-party brands
Some Tools let you create content styled after the visual appearance of well-known operating systems, software, or messaging apps (for example, "Windows-style" or "iMessage-style" designs). easyVL.com is an independent, unofficial parody/novelty tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Discord, or any other company referenced by style name on this Site. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
4. No account, no stored content
The Tools run entirely in your browser, in the same way a text editor or image-editing program runs on your device. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not receive, view, store, publish, transmit, or distribute any image or text you create using the Tools — the Tools produce output for you, on your device, and nothing more. You alone create, possess, and are solely responsible for anything you make with the Tools and for any decision to use, save, share, or distribute it.
5. Age requirement
The Site is intended for a general audience. If you are under the age required by the laws of your country to agree to these Terms on your own behalf, you may use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and Tools are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the Site or Tools will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with your device.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, easyVL.com and its owner(s) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising from your use or misuse of the Site or Tools, including any content you create and subsequently share or distribute.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless easyVL.com and its owner(s) from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the Site or Tools or your violation of these Terms.
9. Advertising
This Site displays advertising served by Google AdSense and its partners. See our Privacy Policy for details.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11. Governing law
[PLACEHOLDER: These Terms are governed by the laws of [YOUR STATE/COUNTRY], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.]
12. Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent to [CONTACT EMAIL].
