Terms of Service
Last updated: November 9, 2026
ShortBeast is in early access. Right now you can join the waitlist. Parts of these terms describe the service we are building and apply once you have an account.
1. Who we are and what you agree to
ShortBeast (“ShortBeast”, “we”, “us”) is an online service that turns one video or podcast you upload into a week of social media posts, and helps you schedule them to your own accounts. You can reach us at hello@shortbeast.com, or by mail at ShortBeast, 605 W 9th Street, Unit #1001, Austin, TX 78701, United States.
By joining the waitlist, creating an account, or using ShortBeast, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use ShortBeast.
2. The waitlist
Joining the waitlist means you give us your email address so we can tell you when ShortBeast is ready. It does not guarantee access, a launch date, or any price. You can leave the waitlist at any time by emailing us.
3. Your account
You are responsible for your account, for keeping your login secure, and for everything that happens under it. Give us accurate information and tell us right away if you think your account has been used without your permission.
4. Your content
“Your content” means the videos, audio, text and images you upload, and the posts, clips, captions, thumbnails and other material we create from them for you.
- You own it. We do not claim ownership of your content.
- You give us permission to process it. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, copy, edit, transform and transmit your content only as needed to run ShortBeast for you: creating your posts, showing them to you, and publishing them to the accounts you connect.
- You promise you have the rights. You confirm you own your content or have permission to use it, including any music, footage, guests’ voices and images, and that it does not break the law or anyone else’s rights.
5. AI-generated material
ShortBeast uses artificial intelligence to write and edit material from your content. AI can make mistakes, repeat itself, or misstate facts. You are responsible for reviewing everything before it is published, and for what you choose to approve and post. We do not promise that generated material is accurate, unique, or free of third-party rights.
6. Connecting your social accounts
To publish for you, ShortBeast asks you to connect your own accounts, such as YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest. You connect them through each platform’s own login and permission screen, and we only publish what you have approved.
- You can disconnect an account at any time in ShortBeast, and you can also revoke our access in the settings of the platform itself.
- Each platform has its own rules and limits, such as daily posting limits and requirements for professional accounts. You agree to follow them. A platform may reject, limit or remove a post or an account, and that is outside our control.
- We rely on third-party services to connect to those platforms (see our Privacy Policy). If a platform or one of those services is down or changes its rules, publishing may be delayed or stop working.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to use ShortBeast to:
- post anything illegal, hateful, harassing, deceptive, sexually explicit involving minors, or that infringes someone else’s copyright, trademark or privacy;
- spam, mass-post, or run fake or automated engagement;
- impersonate another person or business;
- connect an account you do not own or are not authorised to manage;
- attempt to break, overload, reverse engineer or get around the limits of the service;
- break the terms of any platform you publish to.
We may remove content or suspend an account that breaks these rules.
8. Fees
The waitlist is free. When paid plans launch, we will show the price, what it includes and how billing works before you pay, and you will be able to cancel. Some platforms charge for certain actions (for example, posting to X is billed by X per post); if that applies to your plan, we will show it clearly.
9. Our service, changes and availability
ShortBeast is new and will change. We may add, change or remove features, and we may pause the service for maintenance. We aim to keep it running but do not promise it will always be available or error free.
10. Ending your use
You can stop using ShortBeast and ask us to delete your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy). We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms or if keeping your account puts the service or other people at risk. If we end your account without a reason related to your conduct, we will refund any prepaid, unused fees.
11. Disclaimers
ShortBeast is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, including that posts will perform well, grow your audience, or be accepted by any platform.
12. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, ShortBeast is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, lost followers, or lost data. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim, or $100 if you have not paid us anything. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we will tell you by email or in the product before it takes effect. If you keep using ShortBeast after a change, you accept the updated terms.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless local law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live.
