Terms of Service.

Effective June 6, 2026 · Last updated June 6, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Rio, the content-publishing application operated by Warmer Digital LLC ("Warmer Digital," "we," "us," or "our"). By connecting an account to Rio, authorizing its access to a platform you control, or otherwise using the application, you ("you" or the "Client") agree to these Terms.

If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you represent that you are authorized to bind that company. If you do not agree, do not use Rio.

How these Terms fit with your contract. If you have signed a separate pilot, service, or automation-sprint agreement with Warmer Digital LLC, that signed agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms. These Terms cover your use of the Rio application itself and apply in addition to any signed agreement.

01 What Rio is

Rio is a human-in-the-loop content system. It turns source content you provide or already own (for example, a YouTube video) into draft blog posts, social copy, and optimized platform metadata using automated tools and third-party AI models. For clients who connect a YouTube channel, Rio can also apply approved optimizations to that channel's videos through YouTube API Services.

Rio produces drafts and proposed changes. A person must approve them before anything is published or applied to your accounts (see Section 3).

02 Eligibility and authorization

03 The approval gate

Nothing Rio generates is published to a blog or applied to a connected platform without explicit human approval. Each item can be Approved, Held, or sent back for a Rewrite. You are responsible for reviewing items before approving them. Once you approve an item, you authorize Warmer Digital LLC to publish or apply it on your behalf.

04 Your responsibilities

05 Acceptable use

You agree not to use Rio to:

06 YouTube and Google services

Rio uses YouTube API Services. By using the YouTube features of Rio, you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and you acknowledge that Google's handling of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Rio requests the minimum Google authorization scope needed to do the job (youtube.force-ssl) and uses it only to read and, on your approval, update video metadata, thumbnails, and captions on channels you connect. You can revoke this access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Our handling of Google user data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See our Privacy Policy for details.

07 AI-generated content and no results guarantee

08 Intellectual property

09 Fees

Fees, billing, and payment terms are set out in your signed pilot, service, or automation-sprint agreement, or in the plan you purchase. Unless that agreement says otherwise, fees are non-refundable once the corresponding work is performed.

10 Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other's non-public information shared in connection with Rio and use it only to perform under these Terms, except where disclosure is required by law.

11 Data and privacy

Our collection and use of information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. For data we process on your behalf, you are the data controller and we act as your service provider.

12 Disclaimer of warranties

Rio is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, Warmer Digital LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that third-party platforms will remain available or unchanged.

13 Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Warmer Digital LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to Rio will not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the three months before the event giving rise to the claim.

14 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Warmer Digital LLC from claims, damages, and expenses arising out of content you submit or approve, your use of Rio, or your violation of these Terms or of any third-party platform's terms.

15 Term and termination

16 Changes to Rio or these Terms

We may update Rio and these Terms. When we change these Terms we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

17 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, USA, without regard to its conflict- of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Oregon will have jurisdiction over disputes, unless your signed agreement specifies otherwise.
