Terms of Service
1. Agreement to Terms
By accessing and using Accale ("we," "our," or "us"), you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use this service.
2. Description of Service
Accale is a social media automation platform that streamlines the lifecycle of campaigns on Instagram and YouTube. By integrating with your social accounts and leveraging AI, Accale helps you plan, create, schedule, and publish content while monitoring performance.
What Accale Does
- Account Integration: Connects to your Instagram and YouTube accounts to sync profile metadata and enable automated workflows
- Campaign Strategy: Lets you define goals (e.g., Brand Awareness, Engagement, Lead Gen), select platforms, and set KPIs such as follower growth, engagement rates, and view duration
- Content Planning: Provides a visual calendar to plan and schedule posts; an asset repository for images and videos; and AI-powered suggestions for captions, tags, and optimal posting times
- AI-Powered Optimization: Uses OpenAI models to analyze your content and performance data to generate recommendations and improve future campaigns
- Approval Workflow: Requires your explicit approval before any content is published—no automated posting without your authorization
- Performance Monitoring: Continuously collects engagement metrics and feeds insights back into the AI to refine recommendations for future content cycles
3. User Accounts
To use Accale, you must create an account. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activities that occur under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use
- Ensuring your account information is accurate and up-to-date
4. Human-in-the-Loop and Your Responsibilities
Accale operates on a human approval model. Before any content is published to Instagram or YouTube:
- Generation: Accale prepares posts, captions, and scheduling metadata using AI
- Review: You review and may edit the proposed content
- Approval: You explicitly approve content for publishing
- Publishing: Only after your approval does Accale publish to your connected platforms
You are responsible for:
- Reviewing and validating all AI-generated content before approval
- Ensuring content complies with applicable laws and platform policies (Instagram, YouTube)
- Not using Accale to violate any platform's terms of service or community guidelines
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI-generated content. Do not rely solely on AI output for critical decisions.
5. Third-Party Platforms and Integrations
Accale integrates with Instagram, YouTube, and OpenAI to provide its services. By using Accale, you acknowledge that certain data may be shared with these services as described in our Privacy Policy. See Section 6 (Third-Party Integrations) of our Privacy Policy for details.
Platform Terms Compliance
Accale follows and respects each platform's terms of service. Your use of Accale is also subject to:
- Instagram: Instagram Terms of Use
- YouTube: YouTube Terms of Service
- OpenAI: OpenAI Terms of Use
You must comply with these platform terms when using Accale. Connecting your accounts constitutes your authorization for Accale to act on your behalf within the scope of the features you use.
When you connect Instagram, Accale may view account metadata, publish posts/reels/media you approve, access engagement metrics, read comments, and retrieve analytics. You may disconnect at any time via Instagram account security settings or the Accale integrations dashboard. Disconnecting stops all future automation.
YouTube
When you connect YouTube, Accale may view channel metadata, upload videos you approve, set titles/descriptions/tags, access video analytics, and organize playlists. You may revoke access at any time via Google Security Settings or the Accale integrations dashboard. Use of YouTube is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
OpenAI
Accale uses OpenAI models for content suggestions, campaign strategies, and scheduling recommendations. Data you provide (campaign goals, content ideas, performance insights) may be sent to OpenAI for processing. Your data is not used to train public AI models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
