Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of GenComment, the service at gencomment.com (the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. What the Service does

GenComment is an independent tool that lets you create mock, illustrative images of TikTok-style comments — including usernames, avatars, verified badges, likes, replies and pinned or creator labels — and download them as images. The comment images you create are rendered in your browser.

2. Not affiliated with TikTok

GenComment is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise connected to TikTok, ByteDance Ltd. or any of their subsidiaries. “TikTok” and related names, logos and marks are the property of their respective owners and are referenced here only to describe the look the tool imitates.

3. Eligibility

You must be old enough to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. If you are a minor under that age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service you confirm that you meet these requirements and that you will comply with all laws that apply to you.

4. Acceptable use

The Service is provided for parody, memes, storytelling, mockups, design previews, education and other lawful, good-faith creative uses. You agree that you will not use the Service or any image made with it to:

• impersonate a real person or organization, or otherwise deceive others into believing a fabricated comment is genuine;
• fabricate endorsements, reviews, testimonials or statements attributed to real people or brands;
• create or spread misinformation, defamation, harassment, hate speech or content that is unlawful in your jurisdiction;
• infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights; or
• violate the terms, policies or rights of any third-party platform on which you publish the image.

You are solely responsible for the content you create and for how and where you use it. We may suspend or terminate access for any use that breaches these Terms.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the text, usernames and images you input. You represent that you have the rights to any material you upload (such as profile pictures) and that your use does not violate the rights of others. Because comment images are generated in your browser, the content you type and the pictures you upload are not required to be stored on our servers to render an image.

6. Accounts, plans and payments

Some features may require an account or a paid plan. If we offer paid features or credits, prices, inclusions and any usage limits will be shown at the point of purchase. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers; by purchasing you also agree to their terms. Unless required by law or stated otherwise at checkout, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding credits or features have been used.

7. Third-party services

The Service may rely on third parties for sign-in, payments and optional AI-assisted text suggestions. Their handling of your data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Where the Service offers AI suggestions, the prompt you provide may be sent to an AI provider to generate a response.

8. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or that outputs will meet your expectations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Subject to that, to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• GenComment and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data or goodwill, arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service or any image created with it; and
• the total aggregate liability of GenComment and its operators for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or USD 100.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GenComment and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable legal costs arising out of (a) content you create, upload, download or publish using the Service, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or of the rights of a third party. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own breach of these Terms or our unlawful conduct.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of the Service is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except where mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings, or requires that the law of your country apply.

12. Changes and termination

We may update these Terms or modify, suspend or discontinue the Service at any time. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
