“You” or “the client” means the person who orders a service. You are a consumer if you are a natural person acting for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession. You are a business customer if you order for your trade, business or profession, or on behalf of a company or other organisation. Please tell us in your request if you order as a business. Some rules below apply only to consumers or only to business customers; where a rule does not say so, it applies to everyone.

You must be at least 18 years old to order. If you order on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it.

2. The services

We publish YouTube Shorts. One publication means one Short published on one YouTube channel. You choose where your Shorts run:

2.1 On our network

We publish ready Shorts that you supply on YouTube channels that we operate, chosen by us within the niche agreed with you. We do not name these channels publicly; you see each publication through the links in your report. Channels on our network may share parts of their audiences. The plans are:

• Test run: $49 once. 10 ready Shorts × 3 channels = 30 publications, plus 5 cuts. The test run is available once per client and never turns into a subscription by itself.
• Breeze: $149/mo. 20 ready Shorts × 4 channels = 80 publications, plus 15 cuts, per monthly billing period.
• Gale: $349/mo. 30 ready Shorts × 8 channels = 240 publications, plus 30 cuts, per monthly billing period.
• Storm: $699/mo. 30+ ready Shorts × 20 channels = 600 or more publications, plus 30–70 cuts, per monthly billing period.

If you start a Breeze, Gale, Storm plan within 14 days of receiving your test-run report, $49 is taken off your first monthly payment. The credit applies once per client, cannot be paid out in cash and does not apply to own-channel publishing or to a Shorts pack.

2.2 On your own channel

Your channel: $589/mo. We publish about one Short a day (about 30 a month) on your own YouTube channel, chosen from up to 50 Shorts you provide, plus 30–40 cuts a month, using the materials and schedule agreed with you. Any introductory price we quote to you applies as stated in your approved scope and at checkout. Own-channel publishing does not include publications on our network; you can order both.

2.3 Cuts and cut packs

A cut is one Short we make from a long video you send. Each plan includes the number of cuts listed above, for the test run or per monthly billing period. Where a number of cuts is shown as a range, the exact number for that plan is confirmed before payment. A Shorts pack includes no cuts. The number of publications, the rate, the total price and the publishing window for a Shorts pack are the figures shown on the order page before you authorize your card, and those figures stay as shown (section 2.4).

On a monthly plan, included cuts you do not use in a billing period carry over to the next billing period only. Cuts carried over and not used in that next period expire. Carried-over cuts have no cash value and are not refunded when a plan ends. Test run cuts do not carry over.

You can order more cuts as a cut pack at the price and delivery time shown on our pricing page when you order. The delivery time runs from the day we receive your video. Larger orders are quoted individually. Other editing, such as effects, music or custom graphics, is not included; if you need it, we agree and quote it separately before any work starts.

2.4 Shorts packs

A Shorts pack is a one-time purchase of publications on our network: we publish ready Shorts that you supply on YouTube channels that we operate, in the niche for that pack. One publication means one Short published on one channel. You choose how many of your Shorts are in the pack and how many channels they run on, within the limits shown on the order page. The number of publications is those Shorts multiplied by those channels.

The price of one publication depends on the total number of publications. The total price is that number multiplied by the rate, and only our server calculates it. Before you authorize your card, the order page shows the number of publications, the rate, the total price and the publishing window for that pack. Those figures are the scope of the order. A Shorts pack does not include cuts.

A Shorts pack is not a subscription and does not renew. You may order one as often as you like. The test-run credit in section 2.1 does not apply to it. You pay by card only. Invoice payment is not available for a Shorts pack.

Placing the order is your offer to buy that pack. Authorizing your card at checkout is not payment and does not conclude the contract. In the words we use at checkout: “Your card is authorized, not charged. We charge it only after we confirm your niche fits — within 48 hours. Not a fit? The hold is released and nothing is charged.” The contract is concluded when we send the email confirming that the niche fits and that we have charged the card. We send that email when we charge, within 48 hours of the authorization. If the niche does not fit, or we do not charge the card within those 48 hours, we will not charge the card and no contract is made. You are then not bound by the offer. We release the hold when we decline or review the expired order; otherwise, it expires under the card authorization's own deadline. Your bank may take additional time to remove the pending amount. A late review cannot charge your card.

The publishing window runs from the time we have received and approved the Shorts for the pack. Time spent waiting for those Shorts does not count against it. Its length is the window shown on the order page before you authorize your card, and we do not change it afterwards. Publishing starts only after the audience approval in section 4. That approval is given only after we have charged the card, and it is a separate check from the niche confirmation above. If we do not approve the audience after the charge, section 4 applies: the contract ends and we refund everything you paid. That refund is the remedy for a refused audience, and the guarantee below is not added on top.

We guarantee that each publication in the pack goes live within that window. For each publication that does not, we refund the price of that publication at the rate charged for the pack, plus any tax you paid on it. Where section 14 says a publication is not refunded, that rule still applies. The guarantee does not promise any number of views, subscribers, sales or revenue, or that YouTube will recommend a Short (section 11). It does not replace a consumer’s statutory rights.

If you are a consumer, the right of withdrawal in section 13 applies to a Shorts pack. The 14 days run from the day the contract is concluded, the day we email you to confirm the charge, not from the authorization. On the order page we ask you, as we do for our other services, to request expressly that we may start during the withdrawal period and to acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the pack has been fully performed. If you withdraw after we have started at that request, you pay a proportional amount of the total price you paid, including tax, in proportion to the publications made compared with all publications in the pack, and we refund the rest. You owe nothing for performance during the withdrawal period if we did not receive that request, or did not inform you of the right of withdrawal as the law requires. Business customers have no statutory right of withdrawal. The details and the model form are on the refunds and right of withdrawal page. The guarantee in this section is separate, and you can use whichever applies.

3. How the contract is made

1. Request. You describe your channel, the plan you are interested in and your materials in the request form on the home page. A request is free and does not bind you or us.
2. Review and approval. We check whether your channel and content fit (niche and audience) and tell you the result. If they fit, we approve a scope: the plan, the price and anything else agreed with you. You can follow this in the client portal. We may decline a request without giving reasons; no contract is made in that case. This step is how a test run, a monthly plan or own-channel publishing is approved. A Shorts pack is ordered under section 2.4, before we confirm the niche.
3. Order. Only an approved request can be paid for a test run, a monthly plan or own-channel publishing. On the order page you see the service, the price and the total including any applicable tax. You confirm that you accept these terms (and, as a consumer, the start of performance described in section 13), and then either pay by card in the embedded checkout, authorize your card for a Shorts pack, or ask for an invoice where that option is offered. Before you pay, authorize the card or request the invoice, you can check every detail and correct it: go back, change the billing details in the checkout form, or contact us if the approved scope needs to change. Nothing is charged until you complete the payment step. On a Shorts pack, that step only authorizes your card; section 2.4 says when we charge it.
4. Confirmation. We confirm your order by email without undue delay: with a payment confirmation when you pay by card, with the email sent when we charge a Shorts pack (section 2.4), or with the Stripe invoice sent to you when you choose invoice payment. An authorization on its own is not this confirmation. If you do not receive this confirmation within 48 hours of your order, you are no longer bound by your order. For a Shorts pack we also release the card authorization and charge nothing, as section 2.4 describes.

The test run is a one-time service. A Shorts pack is also a one-time purchase: it does not renew, and you may buy another (section 2.4). A monthly plan runs for an indefinite period, billed monthly, until you or we end it as described in section 9; there is no minimum term. We do not ask for a deposit or any other financial guarantee. The card authorization on a Shorts pack is not a deposit: if we do not charge the card, we release it (section 2.4).

The contract is concluded when we send that confirmation. For a Shorts pack, that confirmation is the email we send when we charge the card after confirming the niche (section 2.4). Authorizing the card does not conclude the contract. It is concluded electronically. It is not a written contract under Hungarian law, and we do not file it as a separate document. We keep a record of your request, the approved scope, the version of these terms you accepted and your payment, and you can see your requests in the client portal. These terms remain available on this page. The contract language is English. We have not signed up to any code of conduct.

If an individually agreed term in your approved scope differs from these terms, the individually agreed term prevails.

4. After payment: audience check and start

After we have verified your payment with our payment provider, we check the channel audience once more before anything is published. Publishing starts only after this approval, on the schedule agreed with you. If we do not approve publishing at this stage, the contract ends and we refund everything you paid within 14 days, to the payment method you used. For a Shorts pack, payment is the charge in section 2.4, not the authorization. The audience check in this section is separate from that niche confirmation, and we give it only after the charge.

zephyrmedia may decline any order and refund it in full, without giving a reason, within 48 hours after payment is received. If we do, any subscription is cancelled and nothing more is charged. This does not affect your own right of withdrawal. For a Shorts pack, these 48 hours run from the charge in section 2.4, not from the card authorization. Declining an order under this clause is separate from the audience check above and from any refund owed because we failed to perform.

5. Your obligations and materials

• You supply the agreed Shorts and information on time. You must own, or have all the licences and permissions needed for, everything in the materials you supply (video, music, footage, voices, trademarks and the people shown), for publication on YouTube in the way agreed.
• Your materials must comply with our content and acceptable use policy, the law and YouTube’s rules.
• For own-channel publishing, you grant our account the YouTube Studio permissions we agree with you. We never ask for your password, and you must not send it to us. You can remove our access in YouTube Studio at any time; we cannot publish on your channel without it.
• You give us accurate contact and billing details and keep them up to date.

If you supply fewer Shorts than your plan covers in a billing period, or supply them late, we publish what you supply in time. The price for that period is not reduced, and unused publications do not carry over, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Delays caused by missing materials or permissions do not count against our deadlines. The rule in bold applies to a test run and to a monthly billing period. A shortfall on a Shorts pack is governed by the guarantee and the refusal rule in sections 2.4 and 14.

6. Publishing and reports

We publish your Shorts on the agreed channels and schedule, with the titles, descriptions, hashtags and creator credits agreed with you. You receive reports with the links to each publication and the views recorded at the time of the report: at the end of the test run, at the end of a Shorts pack, and for monthly plans at least once per billing period. The status of your request is shown in the client portal.

We do not use bots, bought views or any other artificial engagement. Publications reach the real audiences of the channels concerned.

7. Labelling of paid promotion

Publications on our network are made because you pay us, so they are commercial communications. We label them as paid promotion, using YouTube’s “includes paid promotion” disclosure and any other label the law or YouTube’s rules require. On your own channel, tell us when a Short contains paid promotion, sponsorship or a product you were given, so that we can disclose it. You must not ask us to hide or remove such a label. Details are in the content policy.

8. Prices, tax and payment

• Prices are in US dollars (USD). The plan prices are listed in section 2 and on the pricing page. The price that applies to you is the one shown on the order page before you pay or, for a Shorts pack, before you authorize your card. For a test run, a monthly plan or own-channel publishing, that price is the approved scope. For a Shorts pack, it is the total our server calculated for the pack you selected (section 2.4).
• Any applicable tax (such as VAT) is calculated from your billing location. The total amount you pay, including any tax, is shown before you pay or, for a Shorts pack, before you authorize your card.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. You can pay by card in the embedded checkout, or ask for an invoice that Stripe emails to you, payable by bank transfer or card within 7 days. A Shorts pack is paid by card only; invoice payment is not available for it (section 2.4). We never see or store your full card details.
• A test run is paid in advance once. Monthly plans are paid in advance for each monthly billing period. A Shorts pack is authorized at checkout and charged only after we confirm the niche (section 2.4).
• Charges for currency conversion or international payments made by your bank or card issuer are your own.
• Unless these terms say otherwise, any refund we owe you is paid without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of the day the refund became due, to the payment method you used, unless you expressly agree to another method. You pay no fee for a refund.
• If an invoice is not paid by its due date, we may cancel the order. If a payment for a monthly plan fails, we pause publishing until it is paid, and if it remains unpaid we may end the subscription after telling you by email. Publications that are paused because of non-payment are not owed later.

9. Monthly plans: renewal, cancellation and plan changes

A monthly plan renews automatically every month, and the price is charged in advance for each new billing period, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in the billing page (“Manage billing” in the client portal) or by asking us via contact@zephyrmedia.online. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for; that period is not refunded and we complete its publications. This does not affect the consumer’s right of withdrawal (section 13), any right the law gives you to end the contract with immediate effect (in which case you pay for what we performed until then and we refund any prepaid amount for the rest, as the law provides), or refunds owed because we failed to perform.

You can switch between Breeze, Gale, Storm on the billing page. The change applies at once, and Stripe calculates a prorated charge or credit for the rest of the current period. Other changes, such as adding own-channel publishing, are made by agreement with us.

We may end a monthly plan for any reason by notifying you at least 30 days before the end of a billing period. In that case the plan ends at the end of that billing period.

10. Test-run guarantee and credit

We publish all 30 test publications (10 Shorts × 3 channels) within 7 days. The 7 days start when both your payment has been received and we have received and approved your 10 Shorts. If not all 30 publications are live within that window, we refund the full $49 (plus any tax you paid on it), unless the shortfall was caused by you (for example because Shorts were missing, late, replaced during the window, or rejected under the content policy). How to claim and when we pay is set out on the refunds page. For business customers, this refund is the only remedy for a missed test-run window. For consumers it is an extra guarantee and does not replace their statutory rights.

The test-run credit towards a monthly plan is described in section 2.1.

11. No guaranteed results

We owe the agreed publications and reports, not a particular outcome. We do not promise or guarantee any number of views, clicks, likes, comments, subscribers, watch time, sales or revenue, or that any Short will be recommended by YouTube. Figures in reports are those recorded by YouTube at the time of the report and can change later.

12. YouTube and platform risk

We are independent of YouTube and Google and are not endorsed by them. YouTube decides on its own rules, its recommendation systems and what it allows on its platform. YouTube may at any time remove, restrict, age-restrict, demonetise or limit the reach of content or channels, suspend accounts or change its features, policies or algorithms. We are not responsible for such platform decisions or their effects, unless they were caused by our own breach of contract. If a platform decision prevents a publication that we owe you, we re-publish on another suitable channel where possible; if we cannot, you do not pay for that publication and we refund its proportional price, or credit it against your next billing period if you prefer.

13. Consumers’ right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer, you can withdraw from the contract within 14 days of its conclusion without giving reasons. If you expressly ask us to start publishing within those 14 days, you pay a proportional amount for what we performed before you withdraw, and you lose the right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed. For a Shorts pack, the 14 days run from the day we email you to confirm the charge (section 2.4), not from the authorization, and the proportional amount is calculated on the publications in the pack. The details, how to withdraw and a model withdrawal form are on the refunds and right of withdrawal page, which forms part of these terms. Business customers have no statutory right of withdrawal.

14. Our right to refuse or stop publishing

We may refuse to publish, pause or remove any Short that we reasonably believe breaks the content policy, the law, third-party rights or YouTube’s rules, or that is the subject of a well-founded complaint by a rights holder or a request from YouTube or an authority. We tell you about it and why, unless the law or an authority prevents us. If you supply a replacement Short in time, we publish it instead. Otherwise, a publication refused or removed because your material breaks the content policy, the law, third-party rights or YouTube’s rules is not refunded. If we refuse a Short only because of channel fit, and not because of a problem with it, you can replace it; if you do not, we refund the proportional price of that publication.

15. Rights in your Shorts

You keep ownership of all rights in the Shorts and materials you supply; nothing in this contract transfers them to us. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence (the price covers it) to copy, upload, publish and make your Shorts available to the public on YouTube on the agreed channels, and to add the agreed titles, descriptions, hashtags and credits and any disclosure the law or YouTube requires, for the purpose of providing the service and for the term of the contract. We do not use your Shorts for our own marketing without your separate consent.

When the contract ends, publications already made on our network may stay online, and the licence continues for them, unless you ask us to remove them. You can ask at any time via contact@zephyrmedia.online; we remove the publications you list without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of your request, and tell you when it is done. The same applies during the contract (see the content policy). On your own channel the Shorts are under your control, and you can remove our YouTube Studio access when the contract ends.

16. Responsibility for your content

You are responsible for the Shorts and information you supply. Our review checks fit and obvious problems; it is not legal clearance of your content.

If you are a business customer, you indemnify us against claims, losses, fines and reasonable legal costs arising from a claim by a third party (including a rights holder, YouTube or an authority) that your materials infringe their rights or break the law, unless we caused the problem. We tell you promptly about such a claim and let you take part in the defence.

If you are a consumer, you are liable for damage caused by your breach of these terms (for example supplying material you had no right to supply) under the general rules of Hungarian law, and only to the extent the law allows.

17. Our liability

We are liable for damage caused by breaching the contract in accordance with Hungarian law. We are not liable if the breach was caused by circumstances outside our control that we could not foresee when the contract was made and could not reasonably avoid (section 19).

If you are a business customer, our total liability arising from or in connection with the contract is limited to the fees you paid us in the 3 months before the event that caused the damage, and we are not liable for lost profit, lost revenue, loss of channel monetisation or other indirect or consequential loss.

These limits do not apply to damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, to damage to life, physical integrity or health, or to any other liability that cannot be limited under Hungarian law (Civil Code section 6:152).

If you are a consumer, we do not limit or exclude our liability towards you beyond what Hungarian law itself provides, and nothing in these terms affects your mandatory rights.

18. Defective performance (warranty)

If a service we provide is defective (for example a publication is missing, made on the wrong channel, or does not match the agreed details), tell us without undue delay after you notice it. You can ask us to re-perform it (for example publish it again correctly). If we refuse, cannot do it within a reasonable time without significant inconvenience to you, or your interest in re-performance has ended, you can ask for a proportional price reduction, have the defect remedied by someone else at our cost or, unless the defect is minor, end the contract and get the price of the defective part back. You may switch from one remedy to another, but you bear the cost of switching unless it was justified or we gave you reason for it.

If you are a consumer, these are your statutory warranty rights (“kellékszavatosság”): a notice given within two months of discovering the defect is in time, and your claim expires two years after performance. If you are a business customer, you must notify us of a defect within 15 days of the report that shows it, and your warranty claim expires one year after performance.

19. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for a delay or failure caused by events outside its reasonable control that it could not foresee or avoid, such as natural disasters, war, epidemics, official measures, or widespread outages of YouTube, payment or hosting providers. The affected party tells the other without undue delay. Deadlines are extended by the time the event lasts. If it lasts more than 30 days, either party may end the affected contract, and we refund the price of services not yet performed.

20. Suspension and termination for breach

If you seriously breach the contract (for example by supplying material that infringes third-party rights or the content policy, asking us to hide paid-promotion labels, buying fake engagement, or reversing a payment without reason), we may suspend publishing or end the contract with immediate effect by email. For a breach that can be remedied, we first give you a reasonable deadline to remedy it. If we end the contract this way, we refund the price of publications not yet made in the paid period, subject to any claim we have against you under the law.

You may end the contract with immediate effect if we seriously breach it and do not remedy the breach within a reasonable deadline you give us. We then refund the price of services not yet performed.

21. AI helper and AI-assistant connection

The AI helper on the home page suggests services based on what you type. Its suggestions are generated automatically by an AI model, may be wrong or incomplete, and are not an offer or advice. Only the scope approved by the studio and shown at checkout is binding. For a Shorts pack, the binding scope is the one shown on the order page before you authorize your card (section 2.4). Confirming the niche does not change that scope.

If you are signed in, you can connect an AI assistant of your choice to your account. It then acts with your permissions and can read your own plans and requests. You choose and control that assistant and can disconnect it at any time. We are not responsible for how a third-party assistant uses the information you let it read or for what it tells you. What it does on your behalf counts as done by you.

22. Personal data

We process personal data as described in the privacy policy and the cookies page.

23. Changes to these terms

A one-time order is governed by the version of these terms you accepted. We may change these terms, including the price of a monthly plan, for future billing periods of a running subscription if there is a valid reason: a change in the law, a decision of an authority or court, a change in YouTube’s or a payment provider’s rules that affects the service, or a lasting increase in the costs of providing the service. We tell you about the change, and the reason for it, by email at least 30 days before it takes effect. The change applies from the first billing period that starts after that date. If you do not agree, you can cancel before then at no cost, and the old terms apply until the end of your paid period. Changes never apply to periods you have already paid for.

24. Complaints and disputes

You can complain to us by email at contact@zephyrmedia.online. We answer a complaint in writing, with reasons, within 30 days. If you are a consumer and we cannot settle the dispute, you can turn to a Hungarian conciliation board (békéltető testület), the consumer protection authority or a court. Details are on the complaints and disputes page.

25. Governing law and courts

The contract is governed by Hungarian law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you can bring proceedings in the courts that have jurisdiction under the applicable rules, including the courts where you live within the EU.

For business customers, the Hungarian court having jurisdiction for our seat (place of establishment, shown in the Imprint) has exclusive jurisdiction.

26. Other provisions

• If any provision of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest remain in effect, and the invalid provision is replaced by the applicable statutory rule.
• If we do not enforce a right at once, we have not waived it. A waiver must be made in writing (email is enough).
• We may use subcontractors and service providers to perform the contract; we remain responsible for them as the law provides.
• Notices under the contract are given by email to the address you used for your request or that we published.
• Claims under the contract expire after five years unless the law provides a shorter period (see section 18 for warranty claims).
