Terms of Service

Who can use Act It Up

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18, you may use Act It Up only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, and they must agree to these terms on your behalf. Accounts we find to belong to someone under 13 are deleted.

You may hold one account. You are responsible for what happens under it, and for keeping access to the email address it is registered to.

Your content

Your performances remain yours. We claim no ownership of what you record.

To run the service we need permission to handle what you publish: you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, transcode, reproduce, and display the content you post, for the purpose of operating and promoting Act It Up. That licence exists so the app can put your video on other people's screens, and it ends when you delete the content, except for copies already made by people who saw it and copies we are required to retain.

It does not reach a take you keep privately. A practice take is written to your phone and never uploaded, so there is nothing for us to host and no licence to exercise. See the privacy policy for what that means in full.

You confirm you have the right to post what you post — including the right to any music, likeness, or other material in it.

What you may not do

• Post sexual content involving minors, or any content that sexualises a minor. This is reported to the authorities and ends the account permanently.
• Post sexual content of any kind, including nudity, sexual acts, and sexually explicit dialogue. The audience includes 13-year-olds and the standard is what they could watch.
• Post content that attacks or demeans people for who they are — race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age — including slurs, dehumanising language, and hate symbols. A scene may contain a bigoted character; it may not be a vehicle for saying the thing.
• Post content that harasses, threatens, impersonates, or incites violence.
• Post someone else's work as your own, or record a person who has not agreed to be recorded.
• Manipulate rankings, gifts, or points — including with multiple accounts, automation, or bought engagement.
• Reverse engineer the app, interfere with its infrastructure, or scrape it.

We may remove content or close an account for breaking these rules. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will say why.

The Community Guidelines say what these rules mean in practice, in the words used inside the app — including what a report is for, what happens after one, and what stays allowed. The list above is the binding version; that page is the readable one, and the two are written to say the same thing.

Act It Up Pro

Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription. It gives you the next scene a day before it opens, streak insurance for one missed day a month, unlimited saved practice takes, a clean full-quality copy of your own performances to save or send — with an optional slate card on the front — the audience and watch-time figures on your takes, your full posting history, and a Pro badge.

• Price and period. Pro Monthly is $7.99 per month and Pro Annual is $44.99 per year, in US dollars. Prices in other countries are set from Apple's price tiers and are shown before you buy.
• Free trial. New subscribers get one week free. The trial is offered once per person across both plans, and it ends as soon as you subscribe to the other plan — any unused part of it is forfeited.
• Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, and again on each renewal.
• It renews automatically. Your subscription renews for another period unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Apple charges the renewal within the 24 hours before that.
• Cancelling. Manage or cancel at any time in your Apple ID settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Pro stays on until the period you have paid for ends. Deleting the app does not cancel it.
• Refunds are Apple's. We cannot refund a subscription. Requests go to Apple.
• Price changes. If we raise the price, Apple tells you first and, where Apple's rules require it, asks you to agree before the higher price is charged.
• One account. A subscription unlocks Pro for the Act It Up account that bought it. Signing another account in to the same phone does not give that account Pro.

Coins

Coins are a virtual item used to send gifts to creators. You can buy them through Apple's in-app purchase in the app, or on actitup.app, where Stripe sells them as the merchant of record. Coins bought either way are the same coins, in the same balance.

• Coins have no monetary value and are not your property.
• They cannot be transferred between accounts, sold, or exchanged for cash.
• Refunds. Coins bought in the app are refunded only by Apple, at Apple's decision, requested through Apple. For coins bought on actitup.app, ask through the link in your Stripe receipt or contact us; we generally do not refund coins that have already been spent.
• If a purchase is refunded or charged back, its coins are removed from your balance, even if that leaves the balance below zero. A balance below zero is repaid by your next purchase.
• Unused coins are lost when an account is closed, by you or by us.
• We may change what coins cost or what gifts cost in future, and will not apply a change retroactively to coins you already hold.

Points and payouts

Gifts sent to you become points. Points are paid out once a month, on the 15th, when your cleared balance is at least the published minimum, which is currently 10,000 points — fifty US dollars at half a cent each. That rate is what you receive; it is not a share of what the sender paid, which also covers Apple's or Stripe's fees, any tax, and ours.

Payouts are made through Stripe, and require a Stripe Connect account that has passed Stripe's identity verification and remains in good standing. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian completes that verification and owns the account the money is paid into.

Points from a gift clear, and count toward a payout, 30 days after the gift was sent. Each payout is your whole cleared balance, sent to the account on file; points still clearing wait for a later month. If the coins a gift was paid with are refunded or charged back, the points that gift gave you are removed from your balance. Points already paid out are not reclaimed from you.

If your account is closed by you, or by us for a breach of these terms, any points that have not yet been paid out, cleared or still clearing, are forfeited. They will not be paid out, refunded or moved to another account. Points already paid out are not affected.

We may withhold or reverse a payout where there is a credible indication of fraud, manipulated engagement, or a breach of these terms, and while such a case is being reviewed. We may change the conversion rate or the minimum for points earned in future; points you have already earned convert at the rate published when you earned them.

If you are under 18

Coins and Pro are bought through Apple, using the Apple ID on the device. If you are under 18, you may buy them only with the permission of the parent or legal guardian who is responsible for that Apple ID.

On actitup.app, coins can be bought only by account holders 17 or older, and if you are under 18, only with the permission of the parent or legal guardian whose payment method is used.

Advertising

The app shows ads, including an optional rewarded video you may choose to watch. Where consent is required for personalised advertising, it is asked for before any such ad is requested and can be changed at any time in the app.

Sponsored scenes

On a small number of days, the scene is paid for by a company. A sponsored scene replaces that day's scene rather than being an additional one, and no more than four days in any thirty may be sponsored.

Every sponsored scene is labelled “Presented by” the company that paid for it. The label appears on the scene in the Scene Hub and on the scene itself, before you perform it.

We write the scene. A sponsor tells us what they would like it to be about, and chooses between scenes we have written; they do not write or edit the lines. A sponsored scene is held to the same standards as every other one, including being suitable for a 13-year-old.

Sponsorship buys the day and nothing else. It does not affect how performances are moderated, how they are ranked or shown in feeds, or how coins and payouts are calculated.

Your performance of a sponsored scene remains yours. We do not license it to the sponsor and we do not use it to advertise them. A sponsor who wants to use your performance has to ask you for permission, and a parent or guardian if you are under 18.

After the day, we tell the sponsor how it went in totals: how many people performed, how many times the takes were watched, and the reactions and comments they drew. We do not tell them who performed. See the privacy policy.

A sponsor may join Act It Up and send gifts like any other member. Those are ordinary gifts under these terms, not a prize, and a sponsored scene is not a contest.

How the scenes are written, and where software does the reading

The daily scenes are written by an AI model. A person reads every one before it runs — checking it is playable, that it fits the genre it claims, and that it is suitable for a 13-year-old — and rejects the ones that are not. Nothing reaches you unread.

Performances are screened automatically when they are uploaded. Software looks for a narrow set of things no acting brief justifies, and a person reviews anything it holds back. Performed violence and performed distress are not treated as breaches: they are what several of the genres are for.

We do not use your performances, your writing, or anything else you upload to train AI models, and we do not sell or license them for anyone else to do so.

Copyright complaints

If you believe something on Act It Up infringes your copyright, write to copyright@actitup.app with: your contact details; identification of the work you say is infringed; a link or username that identifies the performance, comment or profile you are complaining about; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them; and your signature, electronic or physical.

We remove or disable what a valid notice identifies, and tell the person who posted it. If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter notice to the same address, with your contact details, identification of what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district — or, if you are outside the United States, for the District of Wyoming, where our registered address is. We may restore the content 10 to 14 business days after a valid counter notice unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.

Accounts that infringe repeatedly are closed. Knowingly making a false claim in either direction carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Ending it

You may delete your account at any time from Settings; what that removes and what it keeps is set out on the account deletion page.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where we are required to by law. Anything you have already earned and are owed remains payable unless it is the subject of a fraud review.

The parts lawyers require

The service is provided “as is”. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will get you work. To the extent the law allows, EveeShare LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, and the courts of Florida have jurisdiction over disputes arising from them.

Apple

These terms are between you and EveeShare LLC only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for Act It Up or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app. If the app fails to conform to any warranty that cannot be disclaimed, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund what you paid for the app itself; beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation, and any other claim, loss, liability, cost or expense relating to the app is ours rather than Apple's. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim that the app infringes someone's intellectual property rights.

You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and may enforce them against you.

The rest

These terms, the Community Guidelines and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about Act It Up. If any part of them is held unenforceable, the rest still stands. Not enforcing a term on one occasion does not waive it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms; we may transfer ours to a company that takes over the service, on the same terms. We give notice by email to the address on your account, or in the app.

Changes

If we change these terms in a way that materially affects you, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use Act It Up after that means accepting the new version.
