Terms of Use – Prolific

Last updated: November 22, 2025

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Prolific, provided by Prolific Intelligent Solutions ("we", "us", or "our").

By creating an account, connecting your Instagram Business account, or using Prolific in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. The Service

Prolific is a software-as-a-service platform that:

  • Connects to your Instagram Business account via official APIs.
  • Reads your messages, comments, and account info as permitted by you.
  • Uses AI agents to generate automated DM and comment replies.
  • May connect to Shopify and courier providers (if you choose) to help answer order and shipping queries.

We may update, improve, or change the Service over time, including adding or removing features.

2. Eligibility

You may use Prolific only if:

  • You are an Instagram business owner, creator, or authorized representative of a business.
  • You have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the business.
  • You are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (e.g., 18+).

You must comply with all applicable laws and all third-party platform terms (Instagram, Shopify, courier providers, etc.).

3. Account registration & security

  • You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, you must notify us promptly.
  • We may refuse registration or close accounts at our discretion where necessary (e.g., for abuse, non-payment, or legal reasons).

4. Connecting your Instagram & integrations

By connecting your Instagram account and any other integration (Shopify, couriers, etc.) to Prolific, you:

  • Authorize us to access, process, and store the data permitted by those connections (e.g., messages, comments, order data).
  • Confirm that you have the right to grant such access on behalf of the account or business.
  • Agree to comply with Instagram's and other platforms' terms and policies.

You may disconnect integrations at any time, but this may limit the functionality of the Service.

5. Subscription & payments

Prolific is offered as a paid monthly subscription.

  • The price, billing cycle, and plan features will be shown to you at the time you subscribe.
  • Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions auto-renew each period until cancelled.

5.1 Payment processing

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor (to be determined).

You authorize us and our payment processor to charge the subscription fees to your chosen payment method.

5.2 Refund policy

You may be eligible for a refund within two (2) days of your first payment, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

After two days, no refunds are provided for partial periods, unused features, or downgrades, except where required by law.

6. Acceptable use & restrictions

You agree not to use Prolific:

  • For illegal activities, including fraud, scams, or violating any law or regulation.
  • To send spam, harassment, or abusive content to users.
  • To publish or promote hate speech, violence, or unlawful content.

  • To reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to obtain the source code of the Service where not expressly allowed by law.
  • To interfere with or disrupt the Service or our infrastructure.

We may monitor usage (in an automated way) to detect abuse and protect the Service.

The Prolific platform, including all software, design, and content we provide, is owned by Prolific Intelligent Solutions or our licensors and is protected by law.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service solely for your own business's internal use, in accordance with these Terms.

  • Messages, comments, and data from your Instagram account that pass through Prolific.
  • Order and customer data from Shopify or couriers that you connect.

9. Termination & suspension
