These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Signal & Static website and its content (collectively, "the Site"), including our flagship review of NSFW AI video generators and any other ai porn coverage we publish. By accessing the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. The Terms work alongside our privacy policy, our cookie policy, and our editorial disclaimer. Background on the publication is in our about page.
1. Age Requirement
The Site is intended for adult readers. You must be at least 18 years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction (whichever is higher), to use the Site. Our coverage routinely addresses adult themes, including artificial-intelligence tools intended for the generation of explicit content. While we do not host or generate such content ourselves, our editorial discussion of it is unsuitable for minors.
By accessing the Site you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you do not, you must leave the Site.
2. Nature of the Content
Signal & Static publishes editorial coverage — reviews, analyses, explainers, opinion, and reporting — about AI tools and the surrounding ethical and policy landscape. Our content is for informational and educational purposes only.
Nothing on the Site constitutes:
- Legal advice. Where we discuss law (such as the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act or the General Data Protection Regulation), we are summarizing publicly available material as journalists, not as your lawyer.
- Financial or investment advice. Mentions of subscription pricing, business models, or company finances are descriptive, not advisory.
- Professional, medical, or psychological advice.
- An endorsement, by us, of any product or service. A favorable review reflects the reviewer's experience and judgment at the time of writing. Products change. So do our opinions.
For decisions with legal, financial, medical, or other professional consequences, consult a qualified professional.
3. Intellectual Property
All editorial content on the Site — articles, headlines, photographs, illustrations, charts, the visual design, the code, and the underlying structure of the Site — is owned by Signal & Static or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws.
You may:
- Read and download our content for personal, non-commercial use.
- Quote brief excerpts for purposes of review, comment, criticism, news reporting, teaching, or research, provided you credit Signal & Static clearly and link back to the original article.
- Share links to our articles on social media and elsewhere.
You may not:
- Reproduce our articles in whole or substantial part on other websites, in newsletters, in printed publications, or in any other medium, without our prior written permission.
- Use our content to train, fine-tune, or otherwise build machine-learning or artificial-intelligence systems. We do not grant any such license, by default or by implication.
- Use our name, logo, or visual identity in ways that imply endorsement, affiliation, or partnership where none exists.
- Strip copyright notices, bylines, or other attribution from our content.
Trademarks and product names referenced in our coverage are the property of their respective owners. Their mention does not imply any affiliation between the trademark owner and Signal & Static.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree that you will not:
- Use automated tools (scrapers, bots, crawlers) to access the Site at a rate that materially impacts its availability for other users. Well-behaved crawlers that respect our
robots.txtare welcome. - Attempt to bypass security measures, access non-public areas, or interfere with the operation of the Site.
- Use the Site to distribute malware, conduct phishing attacks, or otherwise harm others.
- Impersonate another person, including any member of our editorial team, in correspondence with us or in references to our coverage.
- Use any information obtained from the Site to harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise harm any person.
5. External Links and Third Parties
Our articles frequently link to external sources, including primary documents, news coverage, and the websites of products we review. These links are provided for the reader's convenience and to support our claims. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or availability of any external site.
The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site or any product or service offered there. We do not control external sites and they may change at any time.
6. Disclaimers
The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components. Errors in our coverage will sometimes happen despite our best efforts. When you find one, please tell us at [email protected].
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Signal & Static, its editors, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where the foregoing limitation is not permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising from your use of the Site is limited to fifty euros (€50) or the equivalent in your local currency.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Signal & Static and its editors, contributors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
9. Termination
We may, at our discretion and without notice, restrict or terminate your access to the Site if we believe you have violated these Terms. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will continue to apply.
10. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a material change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review them periodically.
11. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Site will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
If you are a consumer based in the European Union, you retain any consumer-protection rights granted to you under the law of your country of residence, and the choice of Dutch law does not deprive you of those mandatory protections.
12. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be construed to the maximum extent necessary to give effect to the intent of the parties.
