By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18 years old, you must have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service and they must agree to these Terms on your behalf. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements.
To access certain features of the Service, you may need to register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activities that occur under your account.
When you upload, submit, or otherwise provide content to the Service ("User Content"), you retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in that content. By uploading User Content, you grant PhotoDeo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the User Content in connection with the Service and PhotoDeo's business operations, including for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service.
The Service uses artificial intelligence to transform your photos into animated videos ("Generated Content"). You own the rights to the Generated Content created from your User Content, subject to the following conditions:
You agree not to upload, submit, or create content that:
PhotoDeo respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our copyright agent with the information specified in the DMCA. We will respond to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Service that are reported to our designated copyright agent.
The Service uses AI technology to transform static images into animated videos. The quality, style, and characteristics of the Generated Content may vary based on the input images, selected options, and the current capabilities of our technology.
The Service operates on a two-tier model:
Generated Videos (Free): When you create videos without purchasing, you receive watermarked videos with limited usage rights. These videos are provided for preview and evaluation purposes. You may view and share these videos, but commercial use may be restricted due to watermarking.
Purchased Videos: When you purchase a video, you receive the full, watermark-free version with expanded usage rights. Subject to your compliance with these Terms and applicable law, PhotoDeo grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and perform the Purchased Video for personal and commercial purposes.
Regardless of whether videos are generated or purchased, you may not:
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary rights to the User Content you upload and the Generated Content you create and distribute. This includes obtaining appropriate licenses, consents, and permissions from all applicable rights holders, including but not limited to:
Payments for video purchases are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy. We use adaptive pricing based on your location, and all prices are displayed in your local currency where supported.
When you purchase a video, you are buying the right to download and use the watermark-free version of that specific generated video. Each purchase is for a single video and does not include access to other videos or ongoing services.
All sales are final. We do not offer refunds except as required by applicable law. This includes situations where you:
In jurisdictions where consumer protection laws require refunds under certain circumstances, we will comply with applicable legal requirements.
If a payment fails during the purchase process, no access to the purchased video will be granted, and you may retry the payment. We reserve the right to limit repeated failed payment attempts to prevent abuse. For payment disputes or chargebacks, we will respond with appropriate transaction documentation.
We currently store both generated and purchased videos indefinitely to provide you with ongoing access to your content. However, we reserve the right to implement retention policies in the future with at least 30 days' advance notice.
You may delete videos from your account at any time through the Service interface. Deletion of purchased videos does not entitle you to a refund. Once you confirm deletion, the video will be removed from your account immediately.
For technical and legal purposes, we retain deleted purchased videos for 90 days after deletion before permanent removal from our systems. This retention period helps us respond to payment disputes and recover from technical errors. Deleted content is not accessible to you during this retention period.
If we decide to discontinue the Service, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice and give you the opportunity to download your purchased videos before the Service becomes unavailable.
We strive to maintain the availability and functionality of the Service, but we make no guarantees regarding uptime, performance, or uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any inconvenience or losses resulting from service interruptions.
You agree not to use the Service to:
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You will retain access to any purchased videos you have downloaded prior to termination.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.
IN NO EVENT SHALL PHOTODEO, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PhotoDeo and its officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.
