FEED THE MODEL · TERMS

Terms of Service

Effective 3 October 2026.

These Terms are the rules of the vending machine at feedthemodel.com (the "machine") and its regulations (regulamin) under Polish law. They apply to everyone who takes snacks, submits snacks or buys slots. You can read, save and print them here for free. The Rules are part of these Terms; if the two conflict, these Terms win. See also the Privacy Policy and the Legal notice.

1. Who we are

Feed the Model is run by Yaroslav Kovalskyi ("we"), a natural person with an unregistered business activity (działalność nierejestrowana) in Poland, living in Wrocław.

• Address: ul. Świętego Mikołaja 8/11 lok. 208, 50-125 Wrocław, Poland
• Email: contact@feedthemodel.com
• Phone: +48 732 959 895

2. The machine

The machine sells snacks for your AI: prompts in a pack. You press VEND, we copy the prompt (and, where your browser allows, a picture of the pack) to your clipboard, and you paste it into the AI chat you already use. We don't connect to your AI and never see your chat.

The shelf holds house snacks (ours), brand slots (paid advertising; the price tag shows the total paid) and people's snacks (submitted free, published only if we approve them).

You need a current browser with JavaScript and WebGL, and clipboard permission. There are no accounts. You must be 18 or older to buy a slot or submit a snack.

3. Taking a snack

Taking snacks is free. A snack is text you paste into someone else's service (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or another), so:

• It's a joke. Names, effects and pack facts are packaging, not a drug, food, health effect or skill upgrade.
• Your AI decides what happens. We test snacks, but we can't promise any answer. Don't rely on it for medical, legal, financial or safety decisions.
• Many snacks use what your AI knows about you: its memory, your past chats, files it can reach. That stays inside your AI; we never see it. Check the result before you share it.
• Some snacks are heavy. They can take minutes, use a large part of your AI plan's limits, or ask your AI to write and run code or save files, if it can. Read the prompt first.
• Nothing is hidden. The prompt in the pop-up is exactly what VEND copies. Every snack asks your AI to keep it to this chat and not save it to memory; your AI decides whether it does. To end a snack, tell your AI to stop or start a new chat.
• No snack asks for keys, passwords or payments. We check every snack, people's too.
• Your AI provider's terms and age limits apply in its chat.
• Brands never write prompts. A slot changes the packaging only.

Use snacks in your own chats and share what your AI says. Don't copy the machine's prompts, packs or pictures in bulk, and don't scrape the site.

4. Brand slots

A slot is a place on the machine for one brand address (a website or a profile, see the Rules). Only the brand's owner, or someone allowed to act for it, may create its slot. You can buy:

• A house pack: one of our house snacks, printed with your brand's name, logo and colour and "Presented by" your brand. It goes live right after payment.
• A CUSTOM product: a product we design for your brand (section 6). Until it's ready, your slot shows a sealed box with your logo.

A brand may hold several slots. Anyone can raise any slot; a raise doesn't make the payer its owner.

What you pay for is publishing your slot with your amount in its total, or, for a raise, adding your amount. The service is complete at that moment. The slot then stays on the machine for as long as the machine runs, with no fixed term, and its rank changes whenever anyone pays. We promise no traffic, sales, backlinks, time at any position or endorsement, and we don't vouch for any brand.

Emails. Whoever creates a slot is its owner and gets its emails: the confirmation, one outbid alert per slot and, for a house pack, the link to order a CUSTOM product. Whoever pays for a raise gets Stripe's receipt and our confirmation. Use an address you read.

5. Prices and payment

• Ranking and minimum prices are in the Rules. Rank is set when Stripe confirms the payment.
• Prices are in US dollars and final; we don't add VAT. A receipt is available on request. Checkout shows the amount due now and your slot's new total.
• You pay by card on Stripe's page. We never see your card number. Stripe's terms apply to the payment, and your bank may charge for currency conversion.
• Before checkout you tick one box: "Start my order right after payment. I know I can't cancel once it's live. I agree to the Terms." Without it, checkout doesn't open. We keep a record of the tick (see the Privacy Policy).
• Before your order starts, we email you a confirmation with these Terms, our details, the text you agreed to, your order, and the withdrawal information and form. It is your copy of the contract.

6. CUSTOM products

• Fit. It must be something people eat or drink, and it must fit one cell. The order form checks your description automatically; if it says no and you think it fits, write to us.
• Price. The custom product price shown when you order (our standard price, or the founders' price for the first orders) pays for the design and prompt. Your payment must be at least that price. Checkout shows it as its own line, "Custom product (design + prompt): $X"; anything above it shows as a second line for your slot. The whole payment counts toward your slot's total. You pay the price you were shown.
• Timeline. We email you a preview within 24 hours of payment. You have 7 days to approve it or ask for one change of up to 1,000 characters; we remind you on day 5. If we hear nothing in 7 days, the product goes live as previewed. The second preview can only be approved, on the same terms. Until then your slot shows the sealed box and VEND is off.
• Once live, the product doesn't change, and it appears in all of your brand's slots.
• Your material (logo, brief, ideas) is input; we decide the final design and prompt. What we won't design is in the Rules.
• Upgrading a house pack works only through the link in your "on the shelf" email. You pay the difference up to the custom product price, or up to the current #1's total plus $5 if the top-up would take #1. If your total is already there, the upgrade is free. Your house pack stays until you approve the preview.
• If we can't make it and you didn't break the Rules, we refund your payment in full.

7. Right of withdrawal (consumers)

If you are a consumer, or a sole trader buying outside your profession under Polish law, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract made online. For a service, that right ends once the service is fully performed at your express request, which is what the checkout box records.

• Slots and raises. The service is performed within seconds of payment. Once your slot is live (or your amount is added), you can no longer withdraw.
• How to withdraw. Email contact@feedthemodel.com, or reply to your order email. The model form at the end of these Terms is optional; any clear statement works. Where a refund is due, we make it within 14 days, to the card you paid with, at no cost to you.

8. Refunds

Our sticker says NO REFUNDS. It means:

1. Once your slot is live or your raise is added, the payment is final, whatever happens later: a higher bid, moving down, a quiet month, an outage.
2. If you broke the Rules, there is no refund, at any stage, even before your slot goes live.
3. If the law, a court, an authority or our payment provider requires us to remove a slot, there is no refund.
4. If we refuse your order for another reason before it's live, you get a full refund.
5. If we remove your slot for any other reason, or close the machine, within 12 months after it went live, we refund 1/12 of what you paid for each full month left. This only calculates the refund; it doesn't promise a year on display.
6. Your rights under mandatory consumer law are not affected by this section.

Refunds go to the card you paid with. A partial refund lowers the slot's total; if it falls below $10, the slot comes off the machine.

Chargebacks. If you think a charge is wrong, write to us first. While a bank dispute runs, the slot is hidden. If the dispute has no legal basis, we may remove the slot and refuse future orders.

9. What you promise

When you create a slot, upload a logo or order a CUSTOM product, you confirm that the brand is yours or you may act for it (not needed to raise), that we may use its name, logo and colours as section 10 says, that the address and what it leads to follow the Rules and the law and are safe to visit, and that your details are true. If a rights holder complains about a slot you created, you help us sort it out.

10. Licences

From brands. For each slot you create, you give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to your brand's name, logo, colours and address while the slot is on the machine. It covers storing and copying them digitally, adapting them to our packaging, showing them publicly and making them available online: on the machine, its pages, the pictures VEND copies, and when we talk about the machine (for example "ACME TOOK #1").

From people. For each snack you submit, you give us the same licence to its name, effect and prompt while it is published, including the right to edit it. We credit you by your handle.

After a slot or snack comes down, we may keep archive and backup copies; pictures people already copied stay with them.

Ours. The machine, its design, the house snacks and the CUSTOM products belong to us. You keep your brand, and you may freely post pictures of your own CUSTOM product.

11. People's snacks

How to submit, what we accept and how we review are in the Rules. We don't promise to publish anything. You can ask us to take your snack down at any time.

12. Moderation

What isn't allowed, and how to report it, are in the Rules.

• Automatic checks. The brand form refuses chat links and filters brand names. A model checks CUSTOM fit. We check brand addresses against Google's unsafe-site list after payment and daily, and very new domains raise an alert. A flagged slot is hidden until a person looks at it; a machine alone never removes a slot.
• Human checks. A person reviews every people's snack and every uploaded logo before it goes live, and every flagged slot. Logos taken from a brand's own site go live at once and may be reviewed later.
• What we do. We hide or remove a slot, snack or logo, edit a brand name, restore the previous logo, cancel a CUSTOM order or refuse further orders, in proportion to the problem.
• We tell you why. If we restrict something you provided, we email you what we did, why, which rule or law applies and whether a machine was involved. Reply to that email and we'll look at it again.

13. Complaints

If something we sold you doesn't work as it should, email contact@feedthemodel.com with the problem, what you'd like us to do and the email you paid with. We answer consumer complaints within 14 days.

We are not obliged to, and don't, take part in out-of-court consumer dispute proceedings. You can get free advice from a consumer ombudsman (rzecznik konsumentów) in Poland or from the European Consumer Centre in your EU country, or go to court.

14. Liability

• The machine runs on the internet and on other companies' services. It may be slow, down or wrong at times, and we may change or pause parts of it.
• We aren't responsible for what AI services do with a snack, or for the sites slots link to.
• Consumers: we are liable as the law provides; nothing here limits your statutory rights.
• Businesses: we don't pay for indirect loss, such as lost profit or data, and per claim we pay at most what you paid for that slot. These limits don't apply to intent, gross negligence, injury to life or health, or where the law forbids them.

15. Changes and ending

• We may change how the machine looks and works, including prices for future orders, but we won't take away what you already paid for, except for a Rules breach or a legal requirement.
• We may change these Terms for a valid reason: new law or a ruling, a new feature, our providers' requirements, security and abuse prevention, or clearer wording. We email significant changes to slot owners and snack authors at least 14 days ahead. The version you accepted at checkout governs that purchase, unless the law imposes a change.
• You can stop using the machine at any time. To take your slot or snack down, write to us; that isn't a refund case. If we close the machine, section 8 applies.

16. Law and courts

Polish law applies. Consumers also keep the mandatory protection of the country where they live and may go to court there. Disputes with businesses go to the courts competent for Wrocław.
