Effective Date: June 22, 2025
Phailbot is a third-party tool designed to notify communities when new content is published by authenticated creators on a short-form video platform. The service is offered as-is and is intended solely to promote creator content by distributing public post links to connected social platforms.
Phailbot is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with TikTok Inc. or Discord Inc. Any use of platform names is for descriptive purposes only.
Users must authenticate using a supported OAuth process to enable the application's functionality. By connecting your account, you authorize Phailbot to access and utilize publicly available post data for notification purposes. You may revoke access at any time through your platform's permissions settings.
Users agree to use Phailbot only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not use the service to:
We reserve the right to limit or suspend access for accounts found to be in violation of these terms.
Phailbot only accesses and temporarily stores publicly available post metadata obtained through authorized means. This data is retained for no longer than one (1) week and used strictly for operational debugging.
Announcement Removal Requests (Discord). Notifications sent to external platforms are limited to Phailbot's own Discord announcement messages containing links to public TikTok content. Removal requests for Phailbot's messages will be honored on a best-effort basis if submitted within thirteen (13) days of the original post date and must include (i) the TikTok post URL and (ii) a link to the Discord message (or the server/channel and approximate timestamp). Removal applies only to Phailbot's messages on Discord; we cannot remove TikTok videos or other users' messages. Requests made after approximately fourteen (14) days may not be actionable due to Discord API limitations and/or missing permissions. We may be unable to remove messages if the bot has been removed from the relevant server, if deletion permissions are not granted, or if the content has been copied, quoted, pinned, or mirrored by third-party services.
We do not collect, retain, or sell any personal or private information.
All trademarks, logos, and platform content remain the property of their respective owners. Use of such content through Phailbot does not grant ownership or affiliation.
We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the service at any time, with or without notice. Users may disconnect their accounts at any time, which will terminate the app's access.
The service is provided "as is" and without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the functionality will be uninterrupted or error-free.
In no event shall Phailbot, its developers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of the service.
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles.
