Terms of Service

These Terms of Service govern your use of Hotline Bling at https://hotlinebling.org. By using the service you agree to them.

The Service

Hotline Bling lets you upload a photo and generate a short AI video of the person or pet in it doing the Hotline Bling dance. Hotline Bling is an independent fan-made tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Drake, OVO, Republic Records, Cash Money or the makers of the Hotline Bling music video.

Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country) to use Hotline Bling. You sign in with a Google account and are responsible for your account and for everything done with it.

What You May Upload

You may only upload photos that you own or have the right to use. If a photo shows another person, you must have their consent to put them in a video. You must not upload photos of celebrities or public figures, or photos of minors without a parent’s or guardian’s consent. We may refuse any photo, and the AI content check may turn some photos down.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use Hotline Bling to:

• impersonate any person, including the artist, or pass off a video as real footage of them;
• create sexual, violent, hateful, harassing or otherwise harmful content;
• mislead people, commit fraud or spread disinformation;
• infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights;
• attack, overload or reverse-engineer the service.

We may remove content, block generations or suspend accounts that break these rules.

Your Content

You keep the rights you have in the photos you upload. You give us a limited licence to store and process them only to provide the service to you. Subject to these Terms and to the rights of others (you need the necessary rights to the music, images and other third-party material used), the videos you generate are yours to use, including commercially (for example in ads, promotions, client work or sponsored posts) and on your own social accounts. Please label them as AI-generated where required.

AI Output

AI results can vary. We do not guarantee that a video will be accurate, error-free or suitable for a particular purpose, and you are responsible for reviewing it before you share it.

Credits and Payments

Credits come in one-time packs with no subscription; prices are shown in US dollars before you pay, and payments are processed by Stripe. Credits never expire. Each 13-second video costs 20 credits.

Refunds

A render that fails is retried once automatically; if it still fails, or if the AI content check refuses your photo, the credits go back to your account automatically. If a finished video has a problem, email support@hotlinebling.org and we refund the credits that video used, in money, to your original payment method; if you’ve used only part of a pack, the credits you haven’t used yet are refunded in money too.

Termination

You may stop using Hotline Bling at any time. We may suspend or end access if you break these Terms or if we need to for legal or security reasons.

Disclaimers and Liability

The service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Changes

We may update these Terms. Continuing to use Hotline Bling after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
