TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: February 22, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SlopDrop website at slopdrop.net and all related services (the "Service"), operated by Dev Forward LLC, d/b/a SlopDrop ("we," "us," or "our").

By accessing or using SlopDrop, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Service Description

SlopDrop is an AI-generated postcard platform. The Service allows you to:

• Generate postcard images and text using artificial intelligence (powered by OpenAI)
• Customize and preview postcards before purchase
• Purchase postcard mailings and generation credits
• Have physical postcards printed and mailed via USPS (fulfilled by Lob)
• Participate in community features such as the public gallery and guestbook

AI Disclosure: All postcard images and suggested text are generated by artificial intelligence (OpenAI). Content is algorithmically produced and may contain imperfections, unexpected results, or artifacts. AI-generated content may not be eligible for copyright protection under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance.

2. Eligibility and Account Terms

• You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service
• You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to make purchases
• You must provide a valid email address for account creation
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and email access (we use magic link authentication — anyone with access to your email can access your account)
• You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent rate limits or abuse the Service
• You must provide accurate and complete information when using the Service

3. Pricing, Payment, and Credits

Pricing

Current pricing is displayed on the Slop Shop page. All prices are in U.S. dollars (USD). Applicable taxes are calculated and added at checkout as required by law. The total price, including any taxes, will be displayed before you complete your purchase.

Payment Processing

All payments are processed by Stripe. By making a purchase, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service. Your payment card information is collected and handled entirely by Stripe and never stored on our servers.

Credits and Mailings

Purchased credits and mailing inventory are associated with your account. Credits do not expire. Unused mailing inventory remains available until used.

Refund Policy

All sales are final. Due to the nature of the Service (AI generation costs are incurred at time of use and physical mailings cannot be recalled once submitted to USPS), we generally do not offer refunds.

However, we may consider refunds or credits in limited circumstances, such as:

• If a postcard is confirmed undeliverable due to a system error on our part
• If a technical issue prevents you from using purchased credits or mailings
• If we are unable to fulfill your order within 30 days of purchase, as required by the FTC Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Rule

To request a refund, contact us at [email protected].

4. Postcard Mailing and Delivery

• Physical postcards are printed and mailed by our fulfillment partner, Lob, through the United States Postal Service (USPS)
• Delivery times depend on USPS processing and are typically 5–10 business days for domestic mail, though we cannot guarantee specific delivery dates
• You are responsible for providing accurate and complete mailing addresses. We use address validation to help, but incorrect addresses may result in undeliverable mail.
• We are not responsible for delays, losses, or damage caused by USPS
• Once a postcard has been submitted to USPS for mailing, it cannot be recalled or cancelled

5. Acceptable Use and Content Standards

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Generate, print, or mail content that is illegal, obscene, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or fraudulent
• Mail content that violates federal mailing laws, including 18 U.S.C. §§ 1461–1465 (prohibition on mailing obscene matter)
• Send postcards to recipients without a reasonable basis to believe they would not find the content harassing or threatening
• Submit content that infringes on any third party's intellectual property rights
• Use the Service for spam, bulk unsolicited mailings, or commercial solicitation
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, abuse free generation features, or create multiple accounts for that purpose
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or connected networks
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service without our written permission
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
• Post guestbook entries that contain spam, advertising, or malicious content

We reserve the right to refuse to generate, print, or mail any content at our sole discretion. OpenAI's content moderation systems may also reject certain prompts.
