2. Definitions

In these ToS, the following terms have the meaning set out below:

• Service: the Carousels Generator platform available at carousels-generator.com and all of its features.

• Account: the personal space created after registration that lets the User access the Service.
• Organization: the multi-tenant workspace attached to one or more Accounts, grouping carousels, brand kits, resources and members.
• Content: any carousel, text, image, video, brand kit, prompt, asset or element created, generated, imported or published through the Service.

3. Acceptance and Modification of the ToS

3.1 Acceptance

Registration, creation of an Account or any access to the Service implies full acceptance of these ToS, the Terms of Sale and the Privacy Policy. The User acknowledges having read them beforehand.

3.2 Modification

The Publisher may amend the ToS at any time to reflect technical, legal or commercial changes. Users will be notified of any material change by in-Service message or by email at least fifteen (15) days before its entry into force. Continuing to use the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the amended ToS. Otherwise, the User may terminate the Account at no cost.

4. Registration, Account and Security

4.1 Account Creation

Account creation is free of charge. It can be completed using an email and password, or via a third-party identity provider (Google) under the OAuth 2.0 protocol. The User warrants that the information provided is accurate, truthful and up to date (in particular first name, last name, email address and where applicable Organization name).

4.2 Account Security

The User is solely responsible for keeping login credentials confidential. Passwords are stored in derived and hashed form (PBKDF2-SHA256 with 100,000 iterations) and are never accessible to the Publisher in plain text. Any action performed from an Account is deemed to have been performed by its holder. The User undertakes to inform the Publisher immediately of any suspected unauthorized use at contact@lyten.agency.

4.3 Sessions

Sessions have a maximum duration of seven (7) days and are refreshed at each active connection. IP address, User-Agent and last login date are kept for security purposes.

4.4 Minimum Age

The Service is reserved for natural persons aged at least 16, subject for minors to obtaining and providing prior authorization from one or both holders of parental authority. To subscribe to a paid plan, the User must have the legal capacity required (in principle 18 years of age, or be an emancipated minor).

6. Organizations and Members

6.1 Multi-User Structure

Each Account is attached to one or more Organizations. An Organization is a shared workspace that lets several Users collaborate on carousels, brand kits and resources. Created content is attached to the Organization and not to an individual member.

6.2 Roles and Permissions

Available roles within an Organization are: Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer and Member. The Owner has extended management rights (modifying or deleting the Organization, managing members and invitations). Departure or removal of the last Owner is forbidden; another Owner must be appointed beforehand.

6.3 Invitations

An Owner or authorized member may invite new Users to join the Organization by email. Invitations are valid for seven (7) days from issuance and may only be accepted by the holder of the recipient email address. If the invitation is not accepted within that period, it lapses.

6.4 Owner Responsibility

The Owner is responsible for how the members of the Organization use the Service and for the Credits and subscriptions attached to the Organization. The Owner ensures that members comply with these ToS.

7. Credits and Consumption

7.1 Principle

Credits are virtual consumption units allowing the use of generative AI and analysis features. They are granted monthly based on the subscribed plan, or occasionally (referrals, welcome bonus, support adjustment).

7.2 Consumption per Action

As an indication and subject to change, the Credit costs of the main actions are:

• Carousel generation: 5 Credits
• Global edit via AI chat: 3 Credits
• Targeted edit on one or two slides: 1 Credit
• Brand Kit import and analysis (URL or PDF): 5 Credits
• LinkedIn caption generation: 1 Credit
• Direct publication on LinkedIn, Threads or Instagram: 3 Credits
• Thread publication on X (Twitter): 1 Credit per slide
• Simple AI question without modification: 0 Credit

7.3 Renewal and Expiration

Credits included in a subscription are renewed at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over from one cycle to the next, unless expressly stated otherwise. Bonus Credits (referrals, gifts, etc.) remain available for as long as the Account is active.

7.4 Non-refundable Nature

Credits are not convertible into currency, transferable or refundable, except in the cases expressly set out in the Terms of Sale (in particular the 14-day guarantee).

8. Plans and Functional Limits

The Service offers a free plan and several paid plans. The quotas displayed below are synchronized in real time with the Service configuration and may evolve. The full and up-to-date features of each plan are published on the pricing page:

• Using bots, scripts, scrapers or any unauthorized automated means to access or overload the Service;

• Sharing Accounts or pooling an Account between several distinct natural persons;
• Submitting prompts intended to extract or bypass system instructions of the AI models (prompt injection);
• Abusing carousel generation, in particular by requesting an excessive or unreasonable number of slides per generation, with the sole purpose of consuming Credits, stress-testing the Service, or producing content without a legitimate creative or professional purpose;
• Any usage pattern inconsistent with normal good-faith use of the Service, including repeated identical or near-identical generations in rapid succession, or any other behaviour designed to disproportionately consume AI compute resources or harm Service availability for other Users;
• Any activity unlawful under French, European or local law applicable to the User.

10. Content Generated by Artificial Intelligence

10.1 AI Providers

The Service relies primarily on Google generative AI models (Gemini family) for text generation, image generation and brand kit analysis. The Service may also rely on third-party search engines (Tavily) for web search features. The complete and up-to-date list of subprocessors is set out in the Privacy Policy.

10.2 Limits and Warnings

The User expressly acknowledges that AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, factual errors, omissions, biases or "hallucinations". It is the User's responsibility to check, proofread and validate any information before publishing or distributing it, and to carry out additional research where necessary. The Publisher cannot be held liable for the consequences of unverified publication.

10.3 Moderation

The AI models used include safety filters intended to block content prohibited by their provider. These filters do not guarantee perfect coverage. The Publisher may, at any time and without notice, refuse a generation, remove manifestly illegal content, or suspend an Account that abuses the Service.

11. User Content

11.1 Ownership of Generated Content

The User retains all property rights over the Content generated through the Service, including for commercial and resale purposes, within the limits of the rights granted by third-party AI providers and subject to compliance with these ToS. The Publisher claims no ownership over the generated Content.

11.2 License Granted to the Publisher

The User grants the Publisher a non-exclusive, worldwide license, for the duration of legal protection, to use, reproduce, adapt, communicate to the public and display the Content for the sole purposes of (i) providing the Service, (ii) ensuring its improvement and security, (iii) illustrating its promotional materials (portfolio, demonstrations, communications) and (iv) displaying it in the public Discover gallery when the User has marked the carousel as public.

11.3 User Warranties

The User warrants that any content, image, prompt or resource imported into or submitted to the Service does not infringe any third-party rights, and that the User holds the necessary authorizations (in particular copyright, image rights, neighboring rights and trademarks). The User indemnifies the Publisher against any action, claim, demand or judgment based on the breach of such rights.

12. Discover Gallery

The Service offers a public Discover gallery that lets the community of Users share and discover carousels.

12.1 Default Visibility

Carousels created on the Free plan are public by default and may be displayed in the Discover gallery. Paid plans allow carousels to be kept private.

12.2 User Control

Users may switch a carousel to private from their personal space, provided they have an active paid plan. When a carousel is public, it can be viewed, duplicated and liked by other Users. Duplication does not grant any rights over the original carousel.

13. Third-Party Integrations

On every plan, the Service offers OAuth integrations enabling direct publication of content on third-party social networks (LinkedIn, X, Threads, Instagram). Each publication consumes Credits according to the table on the pricing page.

13.1 OAuth Consent

When connecting a third-party account, the User expressly authorizes the Publisher to publish on their behalf under the conditions set by each network. Access tokens are stored securely and may be revoked at any time from the User's space or directly with the third-party network.

13.2 Third-Party Conditions

The User remains solely responsible for compliance with the terms and moderation rules of each third-party platform (LinkedIn, X, Threads, Instagram). The Publisher cannot be held liable for the suspension of a third-party account resulting from a publication made through the Service.

14. Referral Program

14.1 Principle

Each User has a unique referral code. When a new person signs up using that code, the referrer receives twenty (20) Credits and the referred user receives ten (10) additional Credits, on top of the welcome bonus.

14.2 Rules

Referrals are limited to genuine signups. Self-referrals, duplicates, fake accounts and signups that do not comply with the ToS are prohibited and may lead to cancellation of the granted Credits and to suspension of the relevant Accounts. The Publisher reserves the right to amend or terminate the program at any time.

15. Affiliate Program

A separate affiliate program, operated through Lemon Squeezy, allows partners to earn commission on payments generated through their affiliate link. Membership, remuneration and payment conditions are governed by a separate affiliate agreement, available on request at contact@lyten.agency.

16. Promotional Codes

The Publisher may, on a case-by-case basis, offer promotional codes granting discounts on subscriptions. These codes are strictly personal, non-cumulative unless otherwise stated, valid for the period indicated and subject to the specific conditions of each campaign. Any fraudulent use entails cancellation of the discount.

17. Publisher's Intellectual Property

17.1 Rights to the Service

The Service, its source code, interfaces, databases, templates, system prompts, design, trademarks and logos are the exclusive property of Lyten Agency. Any total or partial reproduction, representation, adaptation, translation or decompilation without prior written authorization is prohibited and constitutes infringement punishable under articles L.335-2 et seq. of the French Intellectual Property Code.

The Publisher cannot in any case be held liable for indirect damages, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data or harm to image.

18.4 Force Majeure

The Publisher cannot be held liable for delays or failures resulting from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as network outages, provider failures (Cloudflare, Google, Lemon Squeezy, etc.), cyberattacks, labor disputes, administrative decisions or events qualifying as force majeure under French case law.
