Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and UGC AutoEditor (“we”, “us”) for using the AutoEditor web app and this website (together, “the service”). By requesting early access, creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.

You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding agreement. If you use the service for a business, you confirm you’re authorized to accept these terms on its behalf. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

• AutoEditor is in a private beta. Access is by invitation, and requesting early access doesn’t guarantee you’ll be offered it, or when.
• Requesting early access, or telling us which plan interests you, doesn’t create an account, reserve a price or commit you to buy anything.
• During the beta, features may be incomplete, may change, or may be withdrawn. Which features you can use depends on the plan or access on your account.
• Your access may include monthly allowances, for example for projects, footage processing, Auto Edit runs or exports. We set these allowances and may change them during the beta.
• We may suspend, limit or end beta access, including to fix problems, protect the service or manage capacity.
• If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

• Give accurate information, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your password secure. You’re responsible for activity under your account.
• An account is for one person. Don’t share it, sell it or transfer it.
• Tell us promptly if you think someone has used your account without permission.

“Your content” means the footage, audio, images, briefs, scripts, transcripts and other material you upload or create in the service, and the edits and exports made from it.

• You keep ownership. We don’t claim ownership of your content, or of the edits and exports you make with it.
• Our limited license. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, analyse, transcode, render and display your content, solely to provide the service to you and to keep it secure and working. That includes sending it to the providers described in our Privacy Policy, as needed for the features you use. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies that remain for a limited time in backups or that we must keep by law.
• No marketing use. We won’t use your content in our marketing, or show it to anyone else, without your permission.
• You have the rights. You confirm you have every right and permission needed to upload your content and have it processed as described here — including rights to any footage, music, images or other material in it; permission from everyone who appears or can be heard in it; and permission from the brand to use its brief, product, name, logos, claims and other materials the way you’re using them.
• You’re responsible for it. You’re responsible for your content and for what you do with what you make. If someone brings a claim against us because of content you uploaded or used without the rights to do so, you’ll be responsible for the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.
• Keep your own copies. The service isn’t a backup. Keep your original footage, and download the exports you need.

AutoEditor can read a brief you paste, list what it thinks the brand is asking for, and use Brief Check to compare an edit with those requirements. These are aids to help you work faster. They aren’t a review or approval by a brand, a platform or anyone else.

• AutoEditor’s reading of a brief can be wrong or incomplete. It can miss a requirement, misjudge how strict one is, or misunderstand what the brand meant.
• Brief Check can be wrong too. It can mark something as covered when it isn’t, flag a conflict that isn’t there, or be unable to check something at all — captions, for example, don’t count as a spoken mention.
• “No prohibited claims detected” means Brief Check didn’t find one, not that there isn’t one.
• Brief Check never stops you approving or exporting, so acting on what it shows is up to you.

You’re responsible for:

• Reading the brand’s brief and your agreement with them, and delivering what they require.
• Including every advertising disclosure the law, the brand or the platform requires — for example, making clear that content is sponsored or paid.
• Making sure what your content says about a product is truthful and approved by the brand.
• Following the policies of every platform where your content will appear.
• Getting any approval the brand requires before you publish or deliver.

Much of what the service produces is generated automatically, including transcripts, the requirements found in a brief, hooks, scripts, shot lists, take coaching, story moments, B-roll choices, captions and edits.

• Output can be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable, and similar output may be produced for other creators.
• Review everything before you use it — especially captions, which come from transcripts; anything said about a product; and anything a brand requires word for word.
• Output isn’t legal, regulatory or professional advice.
• As between you and us, you may use the output made from your content, subject to these terms and to other people’s rights in the underlying material.

Use the service lawfully and as these terms allow. Don’t:

• Upload, create or deliver content that is unlawful, infringing (including someone else’s copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights), deceptive, defamatory, hateful or harassing, that sexualises or endangers minors, or that promotes violence.
• Make misleading ads — for example, false product claims, invented testimonials or reviews presented as genuine, or paid content disguised as unpaid.
• Record or upload people without the consent the law requires.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract the service’s source code, except where the law expressly allows it.
• Scrape, crawl or harvest data from the service.
• Overload, disrupt or abuse the service, or upload malware or other harmful code.
• Try to bypass access controls, plan restrictions or usage limits, or reach accounts, projects or files that aren’t yours.
• Create accounts by automated means or with false information, or sell or share access.

If you find a security problem, please tell us (see Contact) rather than testing it further, and never against anyone else’s account or data.

• The service isn’t currently offered for sale, and there’s no checkout on this site.
• Prices shown on this site are our planned launch pricing. They aren’t an offer to sell, and they may change before paid plans are available.
• If we introduce paid plans, we’ll show you the price and any additional terms before you buy, and you won’t be charged unless you agree to them.

The service relies on providers we don’t control, listed in our Privacy Policy, and this site may link to other services — such as a referral link to Trybe, explained in our Referral Disclosure. A third-party service’s own terms and privacy policy govern your use of it, and we aren’t responsible for its content or for what happens once you leave our site.

AutoEditor doesn’t post to social platforms for you. Where and how you publish your content is up to you and those platforms’ rules.

The service — its software, design, text, and the UGC AutoEditor name and logo — belongs to us. While you have access, these terms give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use it as they allow. They don’t transfer any of our rights to you.

• You can stop using the service at any time, and ask us to delete your account.
• We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if your use creates risk or harm for us, other creators or anyone else, if the law requires it, or if we end the beta or stop offering the service.
• Where it’s reasonable, we’ll try to tell you first, so you can download your exports.
• When your access ends, your right to use the service ends. Terms that by their nature should continue — including your responsibility for your content, the disclaimers and the limitation of liability — keep applying.

The service is a beta, provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied — including of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement — and we don’t promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that any output, including Brief Check results, will be accurate or meet a brand’s requirements.

Uploads, processing and exports can fail or be delayed, and data can be lost, so keep your own copies. Some places don’t allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• We won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, brand deals, data or goodwill, arising from or related to the service or these terms.
• Our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the service or these terms is limited to the greater of what you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$100.

These limits apply whatever the legal theory, even if we were told the damage was possible. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn’t allow to be limited, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

We may update these terms as the service and the beta change. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date, and if a change is material we’ll take reasonable steps to let you know before it takes effect, such as a notice in the app or a message to the email address on your account. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated terms; if you don’t agree, stop using the service.

If any part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce a term straight away, we haven’t waived it. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms we present for a feature or a paid plan, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. You can’t transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business.
