Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 16 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

These Terms apply to all users, whether you have a free account, a paid subscription, or are simply browsing the website.

Section 11 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a waiver of your right to participate in a class action. Please read it carefully. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

Account Terms

To use Filmit Studio and install plugins, you need to create an account with a valid email address and password. Here's what we expect:

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. Don't share your password.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• One account per person. Shared accounts are not permitted, except that a Teams or Enterprise administrator may assign seats to named individuals as described below.
• You agree to provide accurate information when creating your account and to keep it up to date.
• If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately at support@filmit.io.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Teams and Enterprise Accounts. If you purchase a Teams or Enterprise plan, you are the account administrator and you accept these Terms on behalf of the organization you represent. You confirm that you have authority to bind that organization, and references to “you” in these Terms mean both you and that organization.

The administrator is responsible for assigning and reassigning seats to named individual users, for ensuring each user complies with these Terms and the EULA, and for removing users who leave the organization. Each seat is licensed to one named individual and may not be used concurrently by more than one person. The organization is responsible for all activity under its seats and for all fees for the seats it has purchased. Seat counts, tier, and any additional commercial terms for Enterprise accounts may be set out in a separate written order form, which controls over these Terms to the extent of a conflict.

Subscriptions, Free Trials & Billing

Filmit.io offers paid subscription plans that unlock access to our full suite of plugins and tools. Here's how it works:

• Pricing: Subscriptions are available at $20/month or $192/year (equivalent to $16/month). Prices are in USD. Teams plans are priced per seat, at the rates shown on our pricing page.
• Free trial: Both plans include a seven (7) day free trial. A valid payment method is required to start a trial. We disclose the plan price, the billing interval, and the trial length before you provide payment information. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription and your payment method is charged the price disclosed at signup. You may cancel at any time during the trial from your billing page and you will not be charged. Trials are limited to one per customer.
• Merchant of Record: All payments are processed by LemonSqueezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record. LemonSqueezy handles billing, tax collection, and payment processing on our behalf. By purchasing a subscription, you also agree to LemonSqueezy's terms of service.
• Recurring billing and automatic renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) for successive periods of the same length, at the price then in effect, and your payment method is charged automatically, until you cancel. By subscribing you affirmatively agree to this automatic renewal. Lemon Squeezy sends a reminder by email before your trial converts to a paid subscription. You may cancel at any time as described below, and cancelling stops all future charges.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time, without contacting us and without speaking to anyone, from the billing page in your account at filmit.io/account/billing. Cancellation takes effect immediately and is at least as easy as signing up. When you cancel, you retain access to the Service through the end of your current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused time.
• Price changes: We may adjust pricing from time to time. Any price changes will be communicated at least 30 days in advance and will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
• Refunds: We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on all new subscriptions, no questions asked. For full details, see our Refund Policy.
• Renewal charges: If you were charged for a renewal you intended to cancel, contact us within 48 hours of the charge and we will refund it. After 48 hours, renewal refunds are considered case by case, as described in our Refund Policy.
• Your statutory rights: Nothing in this section limits any right you have under applicable automatic renewal or consumer protection law, including any right to cancel or to receive notice before a renewal charge.

Third-Party Services

• LemonSqueezy for payment processing and subscription management.
• Supabase for authentication and data storage.
• Adobe and Blackmagic Design — our plugins run inside Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe Inc. or Blackmagic Design Pty Ltd.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We work hard to keep things running smoothly, but we can't guarantee perfection.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Filmit.io disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Our plugins interact with third-party software (Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve) that we do not control. We cannot guarantee compatibility with every version, configuration, or operating system setup.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Filmit.io and its owners, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Service.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the Service exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can cancel your subscription from filmit.io/account/billing and delete your account from your Account Settings page, without contacting us. An account with an active subscription must cancel it first. Team and school administrator accounts are deleted by our support team on request; write to support@filmit.io from the address on the account.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include (but are not limited to) violation of these Terms, abusive behavior, or fraudulent activity.

Upon termination:

• Your license to use our tools is immediately revoked.
• You must uninstall all Filmit.io plugins and delete any copies of Filmit Studio.
• Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.

Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, requires most disputes between you and us to be resolved by individual binding arbitration rather than in court, and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. It does not apply to the extent applicable law prohibits it.

Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you agree to contact us at support@filmit.io with a short written description of the dispute, the relief you want, and your account email, and to give us 60 days to resolve it informally. We will do the same before starting an arbitration against you. This step is a condition to starting an arbitration, and the limitations period is tolled while it runs.

Agreement to arbitrate. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or our relationship, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this section. The arbitrator, and not any court, decides all issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this section, except as stated below.

What is not covered. This section does not apply to: (a) claims that qualify for small claims court in the county where you live or in Charleston County, South Carolina, so long as they remain individual claims in that court; (b) claims for injunctive or equitable relief to stop infringement, misappropriation, or misuse of intellectual property; and (c) any claim that applicable law does not permit to be arbitrated.

Class action waiver. You and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief on that party's individual claim. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request is severed from the arbitration and must be brought in court, while the rest of this section continues to apply to all other claims.

Procedure, place, and costs. Arbitration is conducted by a single arbitrator. For claims of $25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted by document submission, telephone, or videoconference unless the arbitrator determines a hearing is necessary. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you live or another mutually agreed location. Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees is governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, and we will pay any portion of those fees that exceeds what it would have cost you to file the same claim in court. Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys' fees and costs, except where a statute or the arbitrator's award provides otherwise. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award on an individual claim, and the award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days after you first accept these Terms by emailing support@filmit.io with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” and including your name and account email address. Opting out affects only the arbitration agreement and class action waiver in this Section 11. It does not affect any other part of these Terms, and it will not affect your subscription, pricing, or access to the Service in any way. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 12.

Jury trial waiver and survival. Except where a dispute proceeds in small claims court or is severed under this section, you and we each waive any right to a trial by jury. This Section 11 survives termination of these Terms and closure of your account. If we materially change this Section 11, we will notify you, and you may reject the change and preserve the version in effect when you last accepted by writing to us within 30 days.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Subject to Section 11, and for any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 11, any dispute arising from or related to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Charleston County, South Carolina. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make changes, we'll update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we'll notify you by email or through the Filmit Studio application, and we may require you to accept the updated Terms before you continue using the Service. Each version of these Terms carries a version number, and your acceptance of a version is recorded with a timestamp against your account.

Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you disagree with the changes, you should stop using the Service and close your account.
