Terms of use

Last updated: 6 April 2026

Agreement

By using Content Marketing Ideas ("the Service"), you agree to these terms. The Service is operated by Houtini Ltd ("we", "us"), registered in England. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

What the Service does

Content Marketing Ideas is a publication source monitor. It reads publicly available content sources you specify (RSS feeds, YouTube channels, Reddit communities, podcasts, news keywords), analyses the content landscape, and generates editorial briefs suggesting content opportunities. The Service may also generate article drafts based on those briefs.

The Service does not reproduce source material. It summarises, cross-references, and identifies editorial opportunities from publicly available information.

Your responsibility as a publisher

You are a publisher. The Service provides research assistance and editorial suggestions, not finished journalism. You are responsible for:

  • Verifying facts before publication. Briefs and generated articles may contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or AI-generated errors.
  • Citing your sources. When the Service identifies source material that informs your content, you should cite those sources as any responsible writer would. The Service provides source attribution data to help you do this.
  • Editorial judgement. You decide what to publish, how to frame it, and whether the suggested angle is appropriate for your audience.
  • Compliance with copyright. Source content belongs to its original creators. The Service analyses and references it; you must not reproduce source material without appropriate permission or fair use justification.

Limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Houtini Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

Without limiting the foregoing:

  • We do not guarantee that editorial briefs, keyword data, competitive landscape analysis, or generated articles will be accurate, complete, or error-free.
  • We are not liable for editorial decisions you make based on our briefs or generated content.
  • We are not liable for any claims, disputes, or legal action arising from content you publish using information provided by the Service.
  • We are not liable for any loss resulting from the unavailability or interruption of the Service.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the single calendar month immediately preceding the claim.

Your account

  • You must provide a valid email address to create an account
  • You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and API keys
  • One person per account; sharing accounts is not permitted
  • You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service

Free and paid plans

The Service offers a free tier with limited sources and weekly delivery. Paid plans unlock additional sources, daily delivery, article generation, and enrichment data. Paid plans are billed monthly. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; access continues until the end of your billing period.

API and MCP access

The Service provides a REST API and MCP server for programmatic access. Your API key is personal and must not be shared. We may rate-limit or revoke API access if we detect abuse or excessive usage beyond your plan tier.

Acceptable use

You may not:

  • Use the Service to systematically reproduce or redistribute source content
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the API beyond your plan limits
  • Use automated tools to create multiple free accounts
  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law

Intellectual property

Editorial briefs and generated articles produced by the Service are yours to use. The Service itself, including its design, code, algorithms, and branding, remains our intellectual property.

Termination

You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. We may terminate accounts that violate these terms. On termination, your data is retained for 30 days then permanently deleted.

Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be communicated via email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of England.
