Last updated: November 11, 2026

Agreement to terms

Welcome to Hookcast, a mobile application (“App”) developed by Dmitrii Cherviakov that lets users create short video ads from a photo of a product or a screenshot of an app. By accessing or using Hookcast, you (“User”) agree to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and to Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must stop using the App.

Eligibility

By using the App, you represent that:

• You are at least 18 years old, or have obtained parental consent where local law allows it.
• You have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
• If you use the App on behalf of a business, you are authorized to accept these Terms for it.

Use of the App

Hookcast grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use the App, including for your own business and marketing purposes. You agree to:

• Use the App lawfully: avoid any use that violates laws or infringes the rights of others.
• Not abuse the App: refrain from reverse engineering, copying or modifying the App, overloading its servers or getting around plan limits.
• Respect intellectual property: you keep ownership of your uploaded content; Hookcast owns all rights to its software, designs and trademarks.
• Avoid harmful content: not create or upload content that is illegal, hateful, sexual, violent, or misleading about health, finance or safety, and not promote products you are not allowed to sell or advertise.
• Respect real people: not upload images of real people without their permission and not use the App to imitate a real person.

User-provided content and generated ads

• Your content: you represent that you own, or have the rights to use, all images and text you upload, including the brands, products and app screens shown in them, and that they do not infringe any third-party rights.
• Generated ads: you may use the ads you create with Hookcast for your own marketing, including paid advertising, as long as you follow these Terms and the rules of the platforms where you publish them.
• AI actors: the people in generated ads are synthetic. Do not present an ad as a real customer's testimonial, and label AI-generated content where the law or the advertising platform requires it.
• Review before publishing: ads are generated automatically and may contain mistakes. You are responsible for checking every ad before you publish it.
• Processing of content: uploaded content is processed as described in the Privacy Policy.

Subscriptions and purchases

• Hookcast offers auto-renewable weekly and yearly subscriptions. Each plan includes a set number of video ads per period, shown in the App before purchase. Unused ads do not carry over to the next period.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies.
• Ad packs are one-time purchases that add ads to your balance. They do not expire and require an active subscription to use.
• A video that fails to generate is not counted against your plan.

Disclaimer of warranties

Hookcast is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

• Service interruptions: we do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that every generation will succeed.
• Fitness for purpose: no guarantee is made that the App or the ads it produces will meet your specific needs or advertising results.
• Data loss: while we take measures to protect user data, we are not liable for accidental data loss.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• Hookcast and its developers will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the App or the ads you create with it.
• In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Hookcast, its developers, affiliates and partners harmless from any claims, losses or damages arising from:

• your breach of these Terms;
• your use of the App and the ads you publish;
• your violation of any laws or the rights of third parties.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms. We may also refuse to generate content that breaks them.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer, Dmitrii Cherviakov, is located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under the laws of your country.

Changes to terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the App. Continued use of the App means you accept the updated Terms.
