Terms of Service

The short version

PongLens is a free, early-access service that analyzes table tennis videos you upload. You keep ownership of your videos. You must have the right to upload them. We can change or discontinue the service while it's in early access. Don't abuse it.

1. Who we are and what this covers

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of PongLens ("PongLens", "we", "us") and cover your use of ponglens.com and the analysis services we provide. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

2. The service

PongLens lets you upload table tennis match videos. Our software processes each video (currently to remove dead time between rallies and return a trimmed cut) and makes the result available for you to download. Additional analysis features (such as ball-placement maps and spin analysis) may be added over time.

Processing happens on hardware we operate directly (a private workstation controlled by the service operator), not on a third-party analysis service. Your files are transferred and stored via Supabase (our storage and authentication provider).

3. Early access

PongLens is currently free for everyone. That means a few things, honestly stated:

• We may add limits, introduce paid plans, or change features at any time. Early users will keep a generous free tier.
• We don't guarantee uptime, processing speed, or that results will be perfect. Typical processing takes under 30 minutes, but it can take longer.
• We may suspend or discontinue the service. If we do, we'll make reasonable efforts to give you a chance to download your results first.

4. Your account

You sign in with a Google account via our authentication provider, Supabase. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use PongLens.

5. Your videos and your responsibilities

You keep all rights to the videos you upload. In return, you promise that:

• You own the footage or have permission from whoever recorded it.
• People who appear in the video have consented to being recorded and to the footage being processed, where the law requires it.
• You won't upload anything unlawful, harmful, or unrelated to the purpose of the service.

Specifically, the following content is prohibited:

• Anything unlawful or that infringes someone else's rights.
• Footage of minors without the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
• Recordings made without the knowledge or consent of the people recorded, where consent is required.

You grant us a limited license to store, copy, and process your videos solely to provide the service to you. We claim no other rights in your content.

6. Storage and deletion

Uploaded videos are automatically deleted 30 days after upload. Processed results are retained while your account is active so you can re-download them. See the Privacy Policy for details.

7. Acceptable use

• Don't attempt to access other users' videos or data.
• Don't probe, overload, or disrupt the service.
• Don't use automated tools to bulk-upload content.
• Don't upload content you don't have the right to upload.

We may remove any content and suspend or terminate any account at our discretion, including (but not only) for violations of these rules.

8. Takedown requests

If you believe a video on PongLens includes you without your consent, or infringes your rights, email adilharis2001@gmail.com with enough detail to identify the content. We'll review promptly and remove content that violates these terms or the law, typically within a few business days.

9. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Analysis output is automated and may contain errors. It's a training aid, not an official record of play.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PongLens will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is capped at the greater of $10 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Keep your own copy of any video you upload. Don't treat PongLens as a backup.

11. Indemnification

If someone brings a claim against us because content you uploaded violated their rights (for example, you didn't have permission to record or upload it) or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover the resulting costs, including reasonable legal fees.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product evolves. If we make material changes, we'll note the new date at the top of this page and, where practical, notify you in the app or by email. Continuing to use the service after changes take effect means you accept them.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [Your State], without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
