HookTrend Terms of Service

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Acceptance of the Terms

These terms of service are entered into by and between you and VidMe LLC ("Company," "we," or "us"). They govern your access to and use of HookTrend: the website at hooktrend.com, the HookTrend app, the HookTrend API and the HookTrend MCP server at https://hooktrend.com/api/mcp, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through them (the "Service"). HookTrend is part of Hooked.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before you start to use the Service. By using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

The Service is offered to users who are 18 years of age or older. By using it, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company.

What HookTrend does

HookTrend finds TikTok and YouTube videos that perform far above their creator's usual views, and lets you research niches, topics, creators, sounds and hashtags, either in the HookTrend app or from an AI app connected through the MCP server or the API.

HookTrend shows information about videos that creators have published on TikTok and YouTube, with links to them. It does not host those videos, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok or YouTube.

YouTube API Services

HookTrend uses YouTube API Services. By using HookTrend, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's Privacy Policy applies to the data YouTube provides.

Changes to the Terms

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and the date at the top shows the latest version. Your continued use of the Service after we post revised Terms of Service means that you accept the changes.

Accounts and Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Service, or any part of it, in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason all or any part of the Service is unavailable at any time or for any period.

It is a condition of your use of the Service that all the information you provide is correct, current and complete. You are responsible for the activity on your account and your team, including activity by members you invite, AI apps you connect and API keys you create. You must keep your sign-in methods and API keys confidential, and notify us immediately at support@hooked.so of any unauthorized access to your account.

We have the right to disable any account, API key or connected app at any time in our sole discretion, including if, in our opinion, you have violated these Terms of Service.

Connected AI Apps, the MCP Server and the API

You can connect HookTrend to AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or n8n. When you connect one:

  • You authorize it to use HookTrend for the team you choose, until you disconnect it in Settings → Connected apps or its access expires.
  • Actions that spend credits (such as research agent runs or fresh account analyses) are quoted first and only run after you approve them. An approval given through your AI app counts as your approval.
  • The AI app is provided by a third party under its own terms. We are not responsible for what the AI app does with the results HookTrend returns, or for the answers it writes from them.

You may access the Service by automated means only through the MCP server and the API, with your own credentials, and within your plan's limits. You must not share credentials, get around rate limits or plan limits, or use the Service to build a competing dataset.

Intellectual Property Rights

The Service and its entire contents, features and functionality (including its software, scores, rankings, reports, text, displays and design, and the selection and arrangement of its data) are owned by the Company, its licensors or other providers of such material, and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

Videos, images, sounds, names and other content shown or linked from TikTok and YouTube belong to their creators and the platforms. HookTrend gives you no rights to that content. Any use you make of it is your responsibility and must respect its owners' rights and the platforms' terms.

You may use HookTrend's results for your own research and business decisions, including in content you create. You must not resell, republish or redistribute HookTrend's data or reports in bulk, or offer them as part of another product, without our written permission.

Prohibited Uses

You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms of Service. You agree not to use the Service:

  • In any way that violates any applicable federal, state, local or international law or regulation, including privacy and data protection laws.
  • To harass, track or profile individuals, or to target minors in any way.
  • To infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any creator or other person.
  • To send spam or unsolicited messages to creators or anyone else.
  • To impersonate or attempt to impersonate the Company, a Company employee, another user or any other person or entity.

Additionally, you agree not to:

  • Use the Service in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage or impair it or interfere with any other party's use of it.
  • Use any robot, spider or other automatic means to access the Service, other than the MCP server and the API as described above.
  • Introduce any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, logic bombs or other material that is malicious or technologically harmful.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to, interfere with, damage or disrupt any part of the Service.
  • Attack the Service via a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack.

Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

We have the right to take appropriate legal action, including referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Service, and to terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Service for any or no reason, including any violation of these Terms of Service.

We have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone using the Service. YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS THE COMPANY AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING, OR TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF, INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

Plans, Credits and Payment

HookTrend offers a free plan and paid subscription plans. Each plan's price, monthly credits and limits are shown on hooktrend.com at the time you subscribe.

  • Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until you cancel. Cancelling stops future billing, and your plan remains active until the end of the current billing period.
  • Credits pay for actions such as research agent runs and fresh account analyses. A plan's monthly credits are spent before other credits and are renewed each month; unused monthly credits do not carry over. Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
  • Price changes are posted on hooktrend.com and take effect at the start of your next billing period.
  • Refunds: subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as explicitly stated in these Terms. If you believe there has been an error with a charge, contact support@hooked.so and we will review it.

If you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that it is accurate and that you are authorized to use the payment method, and you authorize us to charge it for all fees incurred. If a payment cannot be completed, we may suspend or downgrade your access until it is.

Accuracy of Data

HookTrend's data comes from third-party platforms and is processed automatically. View counts, scores, trends and other figures can be incomplete, delayed or wrong, and past performance does not predict future results. You are responsible for the decisions you make based on HookTrend.
