Terms of service
Last updated 5 September 2026
socialgen is a small tool operated by David Noé Bänziger, used for his own social
accounts and shared with a handful of friends. It is not a public service. There is no registration, no
subscription and nothing for sale. These terms describe the basis on which it is operated.
Scope
Access is by a private API key, held by the operator and by the small number of people he has
given it to directly. No account can be created and the key is not offered publicly. Because the key is
shared rather than issued per person, everyone holding it can see everything in the installation, and
each is responsible for what they publish through it.
Use of the TikTok API
socialgen uses TikTok's Login Kit, Content Posting API and Display API under the permissions the
account holder grants. It publishes only content the operator creates and explicitly sends, and it
reads only the operator's own posts and profile. Posts are delivered to the account's drafts for human
approval unless direct publishing has been deliberately enabled for that account. Use of TikTok is
additionally governed by TikTok's own terms and by its developer policies, which take precedence in
the event of a conflict.
Content and responsibility
Whoever publishes a post is responsible for it, including holding the rights to any imagery used
and complying with the platform's community guidelines. Machine-assisted posts are labelled as
AI-generated where the platform provides a field for it.
Availability
The application is provided as-is and may be changed, interrupted or withdrawn at any time. No
uptime is promised, because none is owed.
Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, no warranty is given and no liability is accepted for any
loss arising from use of this application. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be
limited, including for death, personal injury, or fraud.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of the operator's place of residence, and the competent courts
there have jurisdiction.
