Terms of Service

The short version

beetle finds Reddit threads and drafts replies for you. You decide what to post. You are responsible for what you post. Don't spam, don't pretend to be someone you're not, follow Reddit's rules, and don't use beetle for anything illegal. That's most of it.

1. What beetle is

beetle is a software service that helps you find Reddit threads relevant to your product, drafts reply suggestions using AI, and optionally submits those replies to Reddit through our Chrome extension using your own logged-in browser session. By creating an account, you agree to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use beetle. By signing up you confirm you are 18 or older, that your information is accurate, and that you have authority to bind any company or workspace you sign up on behalf of.

3. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your credentials safe and for everything that happens under your account. If you notice unauthorized activity, email kartikay@trybeetle.com right away.

4. Reddit, and what you post

beetle helps you draft replies; you choose whether to post them. Every submission requires your explicit two-tap confirmation. beetle is a tool, not a publisher.

• You own what you post. Any reply you submit via beetle is your speech, from your Reddit account. Treat every draft as if you wrote it, because as far as Reddit is concerned, you did.
• Follow Reddit's rules. You must comply with Reddit's User Agreement, Content Policy, and each subreddit's rules.
• Disclose affiliation. If you're recommending your own product, say so. The responsibility to disclose is yours.
• No spam, no manipulation. Do not use beetle to mass-post identical content, vote-manipulate, run sockpuppets, or game Reddit's systems.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use beetle to harass, threaten, defame, or post hate speech.
• Impersonate another person or business.
• Promote anything illegal, including unregulated medical, financial, or legal claims.
• Reverse-engineer or extract proprietary parts of beetle (prompts, scoring logic) to resell or build a competing product.
• Use beetle on behalf of a Reddit account you do not control.
• Share your beetle account with other people.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you do any of the above.

6. Content and intellectual property

You keep ownership of everything you give beetle. You grant beetle a non-exclusive license to use that content solely to operate the product on your behalf. beetle's code, design, prompts, agent architecture, and scoring logic remain ours.

7. Plans, billing & refunds

beetle has a free plan with usage limits. Paid plans (currently beetle Pro at $12/month) are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment provider, Dodo Payments, which acts as merchant of record; applicable taxes are handled at checkout. You can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Refunds are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

8. Termination

You can close your account any time from Settings. We can suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or if continued operation would create legal risk. If we terminate without cause, we'll give you 30 days' notice and a way to export your data.

9. Disclaimers

beetle is provided "as is." We don't guarantee that drafted replies will pass Reddit's moderation, drive traffic, or convert, nor do we guarantee uptime or that Reddit's policies will stay the same. We exclude all warranties to the fullest extent the law allows.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, beetle is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including account suspensions, shadowbans, lost karma, or business losses tied to anything you posted via beetle. Our total liability for direct damages is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $100 USD.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify beetle against any third-party claim (including from Reddit, a moderator team, or another user) arising from content you posted via beetle or your violation of these Terms.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. We'll post the new effective date here and, for material changes, email you in advance. Continued use after the change counts as acceptance.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes that can't be resolved by email will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
