Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a contract between you and vidr — a service operated by an individual sole proprietor ("vidr", "we", "us") — governing your use of the vidr website and apps at vidr.video (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
vidr is a browser-based video editor with an AI-storyboard workspace. A free tier is available (exports may carry a watermark); paid "Pro" plans remove limits. We may add, change, or discontinue features at any time.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital-consent age in your country, e.g. 16 in parts of the EU) to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
3. Your account
- You may sign in with Google, or check out as a guest with an email address.
- You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping access to it secure.
- Tell us promptly (at the contact email below) if you believe your account was accessed without your permission.
4. Acceptable use
You agree that you will not:
- upload, create, or share content that is illegal, infringing, or that violates another person's rights (including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights);
- use the Service to produce or distribute content that is unlawful, exploitative of minors, harassing, or that promotes violence or hate;
- attempt to breach, disable, overload, reverse-engineer, or circumvent any security, access control, rate limit, or usage limit of the Service;
- resell or commercially exploit the Service itself without our written permission.
We may remove content or suspend accounts that we reasonably believe violate these Terms.
5. Your content
You keep ownership of the media you upload and the projects you create. To operate the Service for you, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transcode, and display your content solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Service and your access to your work across sessions and devices. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content already shared by you or retained as required by law or reasonable backups.
You represent that you have the rights necessary to your content and to grant this license, and you are solely responsible for your content and for backing up anything important to you.
6. AI generation (bring-your-own key)
vidr can connect to third-party AI generation providers using an API key you supply. Those providers' terms and pricing apply to that usage, your key is sent directly to the provider to fulfill your request and is not stored on our servers, and you are responsible for your prompts, your generated outputs, and your rights to use them. AI outputs are provided "as is" and may be inaccurate or unsuitable — review them before use.
7. Subscriptions and payments
- Paid plans are billed through Stripe. Subscription plans (e.g. monthly or yearly Pro) renew automatically until cancelled; one-time plans (e.g. a lifetime "Founder" purchase) are charged once.
- By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel.
- You can cancel anytime; access continues until the end of the paid period. Cancelling does not retroactively refund the current period.
- Refund policy: no refunds except where required by law. Prices may change on a prospective basis with notice.
8. Data, analytics, and cookies
We collect account information, your projects/media, and product-usage information, and we use analytics and cookies only to operate the Service and to understand and improve it — never to sell your personal data or use it to target advertising. A strictly-necessary, HTTP-only cookie keeps you signed in; optional product analytics run only with your consent. What we collect, why, the third parties involved, and your choices are described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. By using the Service you consent to that collection and use.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, and the "vidr" name and logo, is owned by vidr and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service under these Terms. These Terms grant you no rights in the Service's software or brand beyond that.
10. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties — including Google (sign-in), Stripe (payments), your AI generation provider, PostHog (analytics), and Cloudflare (hosting/storage). Your use of those services is subject to their terms, and we are not responsible for them.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. You use the Service at your own risk, and you are responsible for maintaining your own copies of your work — we are not liable for lost or corrupted content.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, vidr and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless vidr and its operators from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.
14. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content license grants already made, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example, by updating the date above or via an in-app notice). Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any disputes will be resolved in the courts located there, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
