Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2025
Please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”) carefully before using HypeShip. By accessing or using our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use HypeShip.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and HypeShip (“Company”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using any part of the HypeShip service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Service Description
HypeShip is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that connects to your GitHub account, reads your commit and pull request activity, and uses artificial intelligence to generate draft social media posts. You may review, edit, approve, and publish those drafts to connected social media accounts (currently Twitter/X).
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant changes.
3. Account Terms
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Notify us immediately at hello@hypeship.site if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
- You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
- You may not share your account or allow others to access it on your behalf without our written consent.
- One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one free account.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use HypeShip to:
- Publish content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable

- Use the service to generate spam or bulk unsolicited content
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines, with or without notice.
5. Content and Intellectual Property
Your content. You retain ownership of your GitHub repository data and any edits you make to AI-generated drafts. By using HypeShip, you grant us a limited license to access, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the service.
AI-generated content. Post drafts generated by HypeShip’s AI are provided as suggestions. You are responsible for reviewing and approving all content before publication. We do not warrant that generated content is accurate, appropriate, or free from errors.
HypeShip IP. The HypeShip name, logo, software, and service are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of HypeShip IP to you.
6. Payments and Billing
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance. All fees are in USD and are non-refundable except as required by law or at our sole discretion.
- You authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis for the selected plan.
- If a payment fails, we will notify you and may suspend your account until payment is resolved.
- Plan upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing period.
- We reserve the right to change pricing with at least 30 days’ advance notice.
7. Cancellation and Termination
By you. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Your access to paid features will continue until the end of the current billing period, after which your account will revert to the free Starter plan.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms, if we suspect fraudulent activity, or if we discontinue the service. In the event of termination without cause, we will provide a prorated refund for any unused paid period.
Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for 30 days following termination before permanent deletion, during which time you may export your data.
