Terms

The waitlist

• Joining is free and takes only an email address. It doesn’t create a Hinton account.
• Hinton is not publicly available yet. Joining doesn’t guarantee access on any particular date, and we haven’t announced a launch date.
• We’ll use your address as our privacy notice describes, and only for news about the launch.
• Please join with an address that is yours.

Invites and your place

• Your place is set by when you joined. Each friend who joins through your invite link and confirms their email moves you up 10 places — never past the front of the list. Others move up the same way, so your place can change.
• A friend counts once, for the first invite link they used, and only after they confirm their email. Inviting yourself, or addresses that aren’t real people, doesn’t count. Sharing a link alone earns nothing.
• Moving up is about when you get access. It isn’t money, and it can’t be exchanged for anything. We may remove places earned through abuse.
• Creator commissions are not part of the waitlist. Their rates, eligibility and payouts will be set out in Hinton’s creator terms at launch.

Handles

• You may reserve one handle. It is held for 48 hours until you confirm your email, then reserved for the account you create at launch with the same address.
• Handles follow Hinton’s username rules, and some names are kept for Hinton. We may release a handle that impersonates someone, infringes a trademark or breaks these terms.
• Reserving a handle doesn’t create a Hinton account or a public profile.

Changes and questions

We may update these terms or close the waitlist; the date above will change when we do. Questions: adam@hinton.so.
