Carousel Publisher Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 24, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of Carousel Publisher, a desktop application operated by John Michael Layne.

1. Purpose of Carousel Publisher

Carousel Publisher is designed to help creators organize, prepare, review, and publish image carousel content to supported social media platforms.

The application may connect to third-party services such as Instagram, TikTok, and web-hosting providers in order to prepare or transfer media for publishing.

2. Your Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of any social media, hosting, or other third-party accounts connected to Carousel Publisher.

You may only use Carousel Publisher with accounts that you own or are authorized to manage.

3. Third-Party Platforms

Carousel Publisher may use APIs and services provided by third parties, including TikTok and Meta/Instagram.

Your use of those services remains subject to the applicable terms, policies, and community guidelines of those platforms.

Carousel Publisher is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by TikTok, Meta, Instagram, or any other third-party platform unless explicitly stated.

4. Publishing Content

You are solely responsible for the content you choose to publish.

Carousel Publisher may assist with preparing, transferring, or submitting content, but you remain responsible for confirming that your content complies with all applicable laws, intellectual property rights, and platform policies.

Some platforms may require additional confirmation or final publishing actions within their own applications.

5. Availability

Carousel Publisher depends in part on third-party APIs and services.

Features may stop working, change, or become unavailable if a third-party platform modifies its API, policies, authentication requirements, or service availability.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

6. Credentials and Security

Carousel Publisher may securely store access tokens or credentials necessary to connect to supported services.

You are responsible for protecting access to your computer and connected accounts.

You should revoke connected application access immediately if you believe an account or credential has been compromised.

7. Acceptable Use

You may not use Carousel Publisher to:

  • access accounts you are not authorized to manage;
  • distribute unlawful or infringing content;
  • interfere with or abuse third-party platforms or APIs;
  • circumvent platform security, access controls, or usage restrictions.

8. Disclaimer

Carousel Publisher is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, no warranties are made regarding uninterrupted availability, compatibility with third-party services, or specific publishing results.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator of Carousel Publisher will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages arising from use of the application or third-party platforms.

10. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time as Carousel Publisher changes or as third-party platform requirements evolve.
