Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-05

These terms govern use of the Imperfect Shade application ("the Application"), a private, self-hosted social media management tool operated by Steven Harris (the "Operator") for personal use.

Scope

The Application is single-tenant. It is operated by the Operator for the Operator's own use and is not offered as a service to the public. These terms describe the relationship between the Operator and the third-party social platforms whose APIs the Application connects to, and the terms under which connected social accounts may be used through the Application.

Compliance with platform terms

The Operator is responsible for using the Application in compliance with each connected platform's own developer terms, community guidelines, and acceptable-use policies, including TikTok's Developer Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and Music Usage Confirmation requirements. Content published through the Application must comply with the destination platform's rules.

Account responsibility

The Operator is responsible for all activity performed by the Application against connected accounts, including scheduled posts, analytics queries, and media uploads. OAuth authorization granted to the Application may be revoked at any time from the originating platform's settings.

Acceptable use

The Application may not be used to:

No warranty

The Application is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The Operator does not guarantee uptime, error-free operation, or successful delivery of scheduled posts. Platform API behavior is subject to change without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with use of the Application, including loss of data, loss of revenue, or platform-imposed account actions.

Third-party services

The Application connects to third-party social platforms through their public APIs. Use of those platforms is governed by each platform's own terms, not by these terms.

Modifications

These terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
