What You Get to Keep

Quick answer: Under the terms, what you generate is yours to the extent the law allows, royalty-free, commercial use included — and that covers output made with free credits. Two limits come attached: we cannot promise it is registrable as a copyrighted work, and it is not exclusive to you. Whether finished video carries the visible AI badge we add depends on your plan and your settings.

What the terms grant

The script or novel you upload stays yours. What comes out the other end is yours to use, including commercially, provided you are within the terms and have paid for it — and output produced with a free allowance counts as paid for. We do not take a cut of anything you make with it and do not charge again at publication.

The exact wording is “to the extent permitted by law”, and that qualifier is doing real work. Whether a machine-generated image or clip attracts copyright at all is unsettled and differs by country. We are not in a position to decide that for you, so we do not claim to.

The same section also has you grant us a licence, and its shape is worth knowing: to run the service (storing, processing, passing material to the model services, showing it back to you), to do content-safety review, and to improve quality on de-identified data. Separately, anything you publish publicly, submit as a sample or enter into a campaign is treated as licensed for showcase and promotion.

The two limits, stated plainly

We cannot promise it is registrable. Several jurisdictions refuse registration for work without sufficient human authorship. If registration matters for what you are making, take advice before you build a business on it.

It is not exclusive. Generation is probabilistic, but it is not infinitely divergent: a similar prompt from someone else can produce something recognisably similar. You get the right to use what you made. You do not get a promise that nobody else will ever hold something like it.

What we do not promise

We do not warrant that what comes out infringes nobody's rights, and we do not indemnify you if somebody says it does. Responsibility for what you generate — and for what you fed in to generate it — sits with you. Our liability is capped in the terms, and the cap is small: it is measured against what you have paid us.

Commercial use is also subject to the terms of the model services underneath. Those are third-party agreements we do not control, and they can change.

Nor do we guarantee any single generation. Results are probabilistic by nature; the terms say so, and the honest version of this product is one where two identical requests can give two different clips.

How finished video is labelled

We label video at the moment it is delivered: a small badge is burned into the picture in the corner, and a line of AI-generated-content metadata is written into the file. The badge is part of the picture, not an overlay the player draws — it survives being downloaded and re-uploaded.

Those two are ours and they are written in the same pass, so they travel together: without a paid plan you always get both, and on a paid plan we add neither by default — you can switch them back on from settings or from the control next to the model picker in the editor. Where a visible mark is required by the law that applies to you, switch it on.

Marking that the model services themselves apply when they generate is a separate layer and is not something this switch touches. Section 05 of the terms is the rule that governs all of it, not this page.

Independently of any of that, the platform you publish on will have its own disclosure requirement, and meeting it is your job. A badge in the corner is not the same thing as ticking the “AI-generated” box on the platform you upload to.

If somebody complains

There is a notice-and-takedown route, and it explicitly covers generated files and share links, not just uploads. A complaint about something you made here is handled through it.

Two things make complaints much less likely, and both happen before you generate rather than after. Do not feed in material you have no right to use. And do not reproduce a real person's face or voice without documented consent — the terms prohibit that outright, and the legal risk for a likeness sits with you.

A short pre-publication check

Did you have the right to everything you uploaded? Does the platform you are posting to require an AI disclosure, and have you made it? Is the label on, if your jurisdiction expects it? Do you have your own copy of the file, given that deleting here is one-way?

Four questions, none of which anyone can answer for you from inside the app.

FAQ

Do I own the copyright in what I generate?

The terms grant you the output to the extent the law allows, and that includes commercial use. Whether it attracts copyright at all depends on your jurisdiction, and we do not make that claim for you.

Can I use output made with free credits commercially?

Yes. Output produced with a free allowance is treated the same as any other output.

Could somebody else end up with the same clip?

Something recognisably similar, yes. Output is not exclusive to you, and the terms say so.

Will you defend me if someone claims infringement?

No. Responsibility for what you generate and what you fed in sits with you, and our liability is capped in the terms. There is a takedown route for complaints.

Will my video carry the AI mark?

The badge and metadata we add: always without a paid plan, and off by default on one — you can switch them back on. Marking the model services apply at generation time is a separate layer that switch does not touch. What is permitted is governed by section 05 of the terms and by the law that applies to you.

Is the label enough to satisfy a platform's AI disclosure rule?

No. Treat them as separate obligations. The platform you upload to has its own requirement and meeting it is your responsibility.
