Contact: support@detectvideo.net
1. Service Description
DetectVideo.net provides probabilistic AI-generation and deepfake risk signals for human review.
The service is designed to help users cautiously review suspicious videos before publishing, reposting, reporting, or trusting them.
DetectVideo.net does not provide legal, forensic, definitive, or guaranteed proof that a video is AI-generated, authentic, manipulated, or deepfaked.
2. Current P0.5 Validation Status
The current version of DetectVideo.net is a P0.5 validation build.
At this stage:
- The upload-first flow is designed to validate user behavior, pricing interest, conversion interest, and safe result language.
- Video file validation is performed in the browser.
- Videos are not currently uploaded to our server for detection.
- Provider-backed detection is not currently enabled.
- URL scanning is not currently enabled.
- Stripe checkout, paid subscriptions, user accounts, history, reports, and team workspaces are not currently enabled.
Future provider-backed detection, billing, URL scanning, reports, or account features may be subject to additional terms.
3. AI Detection Limitation
You understand and agree that:
- Results are probabilistic risk signals only.
- Results may be wrong, incomplete, delayed, ambiguous, or inconclusive.
- Results may be affected by compression, editing, short duration, low resolution, re-encoding, lighting, audio quality, source quality, model limitations, or adversarial manipulation.
- A high-risk score does not prove that a video is fake, AI-generated, manipulated, or deepfaked.
- A low-risk score does not prove that a video is authentic or unmodified.
- “Inconclusive” is a valid result.
You must not rely on DetectVideo.net as the sole basis for legal claims, forensic conclusions, employment decisions, platform enforcement, public accusations, media publication, financial decisions, or safety-critical decisions.
Always combine results with source verification, contextual review, metadata review, expert analysis where appropriate, and human judgment.
4. Upload Authorization
You represent and warrant that you have the necessary rights, permission, and lawful basis to upload, submit, process, or analyze any video, URL, audio, image, metadata, or related content through DetectVideo.net.
You are solely responsible for the content you submit and for ensuring that your use of the service complies with applicable laws, platform rules, contracts, and third-party rights.
5. Prohibited Uses
You may not use DetectVideo.net to:
- Violate privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other rights

- Process non-consensual intimate content
- Process child sexual abuse material or exploitative content involving minors
- Conduct illegal surveillance or unauthorized investigations
- Make automated or sole-basis decisions about employment, credit, housing, insurance, legal claims, platform enforcement, or public accusations
- Falsely claim that a DetectVideo.net result proves that a person created, published, manipulated, or distributed fake content
- Submit URLs or content in violation of third-party platform terms
- Bypass access controls, paywalls, robots restrictions, rate limits, or technical protections
- Upload malware, harmful files, or abusive content
- Interfere with the security or operation of the service

You retain your rights in content you submit.
To the extent server-side processing is enabled in the future, you grant DetectVideo.net a limited license to process submitted content solely to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the service as described in our policies.
We do not use uploaded videos, extracted frames, audio, or detection results to train AI models unless clearly disclosed and consented to where required.
7. Accounts
User accounts are not currently part of the P0.5 validation build.
If accounts are enabled in the future, you will be responsible for:
- Providing accurate account information
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create legal, security, or abuse risks.

10. URL Scanning
URL scanning is not currently enabled.
If URL scanning is launched in the future, you may only submit URLs that you are authorized to analyze and that may be accessed without violating laws, platform terms, access controls, paywalls, privacy rights, or intellectual property rights.
We may limit URL scanning to prevent scraping, abuse, privacy violations, or third-party terms violations.
11. Shareable Results and Reports
Shareable result links and downloadable reports are not currently enabled.
If these features are launched in the future, results and reports will remain probabilistic risk signals only and must not be represented as legal, forensic, definitive, or guaranteed proof.
We may restrict public indexing, add expiration dates, limit sharing, or remove result pages to reduce privacy, abuse, and reputation risks.
