Terms of service.

Last Updated: May 2025

Hey there, human. Welcome to The Necessary Human. By using our website or hiring us for any service, copy, avatar, or otherwise, you agree to the following terms. We keep it plain English and personality packed so there’s no confusion, only collaboration.

1. What We Do

We’re a human-first, AI-powered creative agency. That means:

  • We turn your AI drafts, brain dumps, and business ideas into scroll-stopping, conversion loving copy.

  • We create video avatars that sound like you (and sometimes look like you too), so you can scale your presence without burning out.

  • We offer strategic content support, from prompt writing to launch plans, to help you show up consistently and brilliantly.

2. Your Responsibilities

Working with us is a team sport. We ask that you:

  • Provide accurate, timely info and approvals

  • Communicate clearly and respectfully

  • Review deliverables within the agreed timeframes

  • Understand that results depend on implementation, we give you fire, but you still need to light the match

Ghosting us for more than 30 days = your project gets archived, and we may charge a reactivation fee to resume.

3. Payment & Refunds

  • All payments are due upfront unless otherwise stated.

  • Due to the customized and collaborative nature of our work, all sales are final once the project has begun.

  • If you cancel before we’ve started, we’re cool to refund minus any prep time already invested.

  • Late payments may cause delays and are subject to a 5% monthly late fee. Let’s avoid that.

4. Ownership & Usage Rights

Copywriting

  • Once final payment is made, you own the rights to the final deliverables.

  • We retain rights to our frameworks, prompts, and internal processes, we just won’t use your personal details in them.

  • We reserve the right to use anonymized or credited examples of your copy in our portfolio or marketing (see Section 7).

Avatar Content

  • You own your likeness, voice, and brand.

  • By submitting footage, voice notes, or references for avatar creation, you grant us permission to build and deliver your avatar as per your selected service.

  • We do not use your avatar externally without your written consent — unless we’ve agreed otherwise for promotional use (see Section 7).

  • You are responsible for reviewing and approving avatar content before it goes live.

5. AI Disclosure

We use AI tools (like ChatGPT and other platforms) to streamline our process — especially in early drafts and ideation. But every final deliverable is refined by a real human (and a really good one, too).

By working with us, you acknowledge:

  • AI can’t guarantee originality or copyright-free outputs — but we do our best to ensure your content is distinct, strategic, and aligned with your brand

  • You are responsible for final approval and implementation of all copy and content we deliver

6. Pauses & Cancellations

  • Projects paused for more than 30 days without notice will be considered inactive.

  • You’ll need to request a restart and may be subject to a reactivation fee.

  • Communication is key, just let us know what’s up and we’ll work with you.

7. Promotional Use & Testimonials

This is important, so we’re bolding it.

By working with The Necessary Human, you agree that:

  • We may use completed work (copy and/or avatar) in our own promotional materials, including our website, social media, pitch decks, and sales funnels.

  • We may reference positive feedback or testimonials shared in written communication (emails, forms, DMs, etc.) lightly edited for grammar, not for meaning.

  • We’ll always respect sensitive details, and if you’d prefer to stay anonymous or keep your project private, just let us know upfront.

8. Liability & Guarantees

We’re here to help you win — but we can’t guarantee exact outcomes (like sales, traffic, or viral fame).

We are not liable for:

  • The performance of your content once it’s in your hands

  • Any tech glitches caused by third-party platforms (e.g., hosting, AI outages, avatar rendering tools)

  • Any legal or compliance issues related to your final usage of our work, you should always review for industry-specific regulations

9. Updates to These Terms

We may tweak these terms occasionally. If we do, we’ll update the date at the top. Continued use of our services = you’re cool with the changes.
