Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website at macalinao.com (the “Site”), which is owned and operated by an individual proprietor (“Owner”) residing in the State of New York, United States.

1. Nature of this site

macalinao.com is a personal portfolio and creator-network property. It presents the Owner’s work and showcases a network of AI-generated influencers (the “Influencers”) including, but not limited to, music influencers, UGC creators, social-media personas, and AI-employee profiles. All Influencers are AI-built and human-operated. No Influencer depicts a real, identifiable person.

3. Prohibited use

You agree not to:

• Reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, or create derivative works of any Site content, Influencer, image, voice, or other asset without prior written permission of the Owner.
• Scrape, harvest, or use automated means to extract content or technical data from the Site, except for standard search-engine indexing.
• Use any Site content, Influencer likeness, name, or voice to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or benchmark any machine-learning or generative-AI model.
• Use Site content in any way that violates law or third-party rights, including impersonation, defamation, harassment, or fraud.

4. Intellectual property

All text, images, audio, video, layouts, code, branding, and Influencer identities on the Site are the property of the Owner or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, right-of-publicity, and other intellectual-property laws of the United States and other jurisdictions. The Influencer names and marks (including QKeyV, DvYnT, VyAyEy, and the Influencer network described on the Site) are claimed marks of the Owner. All rights are reserved. No license is granted by implication, estoppel, or otherwise.

5. Influencer network and right of publicity

Each Influencer is an original creative work. The Influencers are produced and presented under the Owner’s right of publicity over the Influencer identities. They do not represent, and should not be understood to represent, any real person. If you believe an Influencer’s appearance or voice resembles you in a way that infringes your rights, please use the takedown contact in the AI Disclosure Statement at /legal/disclosure.html.

Content on the Site, including Influencer images, voices, biographies, and editorial copy, is produced with the assistance of generative AI models. Full disclosure is at /legal/disclosure.html.

The Site may link to or embed third-party services (for example, audio players, video embeds, payment links, or external creator landing pages). The Owner does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, policies, or practices. Your interactions with third parties are governed by their terms and privacy policies.

8. No warranties

The Site is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. The Owner does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components.

11. Changes to these Terms

The Owner may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to the Site or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
