WePlai – Terms of Service

Last updated: July 26, 2025

Welcome to WePlai, the ultimate battleground for AI video creators. By accessing or using the WePLai app, website, or any related services (collectively, the “Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). Please read them carefully.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Platform.

1. Eligibility & Age Requirements

The WePlai app is available to U.S. users aged 13 and older.

Contests, Coin purchases, and prize payouts are available only to users aged 18 and older. If you are under 18, you may use only non-monetary features (for example, the ratings feed and permitted community features) and you may not enter contests, purchase Coins, or receive payouts.

If you are 13–17, you represent that you are using the non-monetary features of the Services with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian and that you will not attempt to access any 18+ features.

Age Verification; Geographic Restriction

You must be at least 13 years old to use WePlai. By creating an account or using our platform, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are under 13, you are not permitted to access or use WePlai under any circumstances.

To participate in cash prize competitions, you must be 18 years or older, or meet the legal age of majority in your country. By using the Platform, you represent that you meet these requirements.

Before any Coin purchase, or payout, WePlai will require you to verify your age (18+) and may require identity verification. We also enforce state-level restrictions and may block access in certain jurisdictions where contests are not offered. You agree that WePlai may use device signals and IP-based methods (and, if you allow, device location) to determine eligibility.

2. Account and Registration

You will be required to register an account to use WePlai. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and truthful information

  • Choose a unique username and avatar

  • Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials

  • Accept full responsibility for all activity under your account

    WePlai may suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms.

SMS Verification and One-Time Passwords

To access certain features of WePLAi, you may be required to verify your identity via a one-time password (OTP) sent to your mobile phone number via SMS.

You agree to provide a valid and current mobile phone number during account registration and to receive SMS messages for verification purposes. You are solely responsible for maintaining access to the phone number linked to your account.

We are not liable for any delays or failures in receiving SMS messages, as delivery may depend on your mobile network provider and location.

WePlai SMS Terms

  • Program name: WePlai Verification

  • Description: We send one-time passcodes (OTPs) and account alerts you request.

  • Message frequency: Varies based on your activity (typically one message per login or verification request).

  • Fees: Message & data rates may apply.

  • Opt-out: Text STOP to any message to cancel. You’ll receive a final confirmation text.

  • Help: Text HELP for help or email support@weplai.app.

  • Carriers: Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

  • Eligibility: U.S. users only; you must provide your own valid mobile number.

  • Privacy: See our [Privacy Policy] for how we handle your data.

3. Coins & USD Winnings

Coins. Coins are in-app entry tokens with no cash value. Coins cannot be redeemed for money, transferred for value, or exchanged for USD Winnings.

USD Winnings. Cash prizes credited to your WePlai “USD” balance are funded only by Contest prizes. Winners are provisional pending verification. Upon approval, the prize amount is credited to the winner’s USD Winnings in-app as Available (or moved from Pending to Available). Winners may withdraw Available USD Winnings through Stripe Connect once their Available balance is $25+ (USD) and payout setup is complete. Sponsor aims to process approved payouts within 1–3 business days; delays may occur for identity, tax, or integrity reviews.

Coins and contest entry are 18+ only. If you are under 18, do not attempt to acquire or use Coins or enter contests.

Prohibited Uses. Selling, trading, or transferring Coins or USD Winnings between users; attempting to convert Coins to cash; or engaging in fraud, rating manipulation, or payout abuse is prohibited and may result in forfeiture, account action, and legal referral.

4. Competition Entries

To enter a contest, you must submit a video that includes one subtle, naturally integrated WePlai Easter egg (visual or audio) incorporated during your creative process. Submissions that merely apply trivial overlays to third-party footage may be deemed non-compliant.

Representations & Warranties: You agree that WePlai may request Proof of Process (e.g., timeline screenshot or short screen recording) and audio source confirmation before paying any prize. WePlai may place holds on prizes during review and may deny or reverse payouts for violations.

Enforcement: WePlai may suspend or terminate accounts, void entries, revoke Coins, forfeit prizes, or claw back payouts (and offset against future amounts) for misrepresentation, infringement, integrity manipulation, or failure to provide PoP. Repeat infringers may be terminated under our DMCA repeat-infringer policy.

5. Misrepresentation; Enforcement

If you misrepresent your age or eligibility, or attempt to bypass age or location gates, WePlai may suspend or terminate your account, void entries, forfeit prizes, and revoke Coins without refund. WePlai may also reverse or withhold any payout pending verification.

6. Winners; KYC/Tax (18+ only)

Prize winners must be 18+ at the time of entry and must complete any required KYC/identity and tax steps before payout. Failure to complete verification may result in disqualification and selection of an alternate winner.

7. User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of any videos, avatars, comments, or other content (“User Content”) you submit.

However, by uploading or submitting User Content to WePlai, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to:

  • Use, host, store, display, and publicly share your content within the Platform

  • Promote your content in connection with WePlai’s marketing, competitions, and communications

You are solely responsible for your User Content and affirm that it:

  • Does not infringe on any third-party rights (e.g. copyright, likeness, trademarks)

  • Does not contain hate speech, harassment, nudity, or extreme violence

  • Does not impersonate others or contain manipulated content of real people without consent

WePlai may remove or moderate content at its sole discretion.

8. Geographic Restrictions

WePlai is only available to U.S. residents in states where participation in skill-based competitions for real monetary rewards is legal.

Currently, WePlai does not offer services to users located in Arizona, Louisiana, Montana, or South Dakota.

By using the platform, you confirm that you are not a resident of or currently located in one of these restricted states. Attempting to bypass geographic restrictions is a violation of these Terms and may result in account suspension or payout denial.

We reserve the right to update this list of restricted regions based on changes in applicable laws or regulations.

9. Anti-Gambling & Skill-Based Competitions Clause

WePlai operates only as a platform for skill-based competitions. All competitions are judged on creativity, quality, and skill, as determined by community ratings and platform algorithms. Chance plays no role in determining winners.

  • No Gambling: WePlai does not offer, facilitate, or allow any form of gambling, betting, or wagering, whether online or offline.

  • No Games of Chance: All outcomes are determined by skill-based judging criteria. There are no random number generators, lotteries, slot machines, or other chance-based mechanisms.

    • WePlai’s virtual coins are solely for entering competitions.

    • Coins have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or any other currency, and cannot be transferred between users.

    • Coins are non-refundable once used to enter a competition.

  • Prizes: All prizes are fixed in advance and funded by WePlai. Entry fees (coins) are not pooled or redistributed as prizes.

  • No External Gambling Links: WePlai does not provide access to, promote, or link to any gambling or gaming websites or services.

Any attempt to use WePlai in a manner that violates these policies will result in immediate account termination and forfeiture of any virtual coins or prizes.
