1. Service Description
DECODED is a creator valuation platform that calculates an "Online Social Net Worth" score by analysing social media accounts, streaming profiles, and other digital presence data you provide. The Service includes:

- Analysis across 49+ platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Spotify, Twitch, and more.
- A personalised dashboard with evaluation history and growth insights.
- Optional Pro subscription for unlimited evaluations and advanced features.
Scores and valuations are estimates only. They are provided for informational purposes and do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice. Actual brand deal rates, sponsorship income, or asset values may differ.

6. Privacy & Data
Your use of DECODED is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of data as described in that policy.
7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not guarantee that:
- Scores or valuations are accurate or will match real-world outcomes.
- The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
- Third-party data sources (social platforms, APIs) will be accurate or available.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DECODED AND ITS OPERATORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50.
8. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or engage in behaviour we determine is harmful to the Service or its users.
You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard. Deletion permanently removes your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will continue to apply.
9. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Safe Harbor
DECODED respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512). We qualify for the DMCA safe harbour for online service providers that respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement.

Repeat Infringer Policy
DECODED has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. Users who repeatedly infringe third-party intellectual property rights will have their accounts suspended or permanently terminated.
10. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us at support@decoded.fm. If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction.
You agree to bring any dispute or claim on an individual basis only — not as part of a class action or representative proceeding.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
