Repeat Infringers: We will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

AI-Generated Output: The blog posts and other content generated by our Service are produced using artificial intelligence. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or "hallucinations." You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying all generated content before publication or use.

No Guarantee: We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, quality, or suitability of any generated content for any particular purpose. You use generated content entirely at your own risk.

Billing: Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Refunds: Refunds are available for the prorated value of unused credits within 14 days of purchase. Refund requests may be submitted by contacting support. Refunds may be denied in cases of abuse, excessive usage, or violation of these terms.

Each subscription tier includes specific usage limits (video count, duration, word count, revisions, etc.). We reserve the right to enforce these limits and suspend accounts that exceed them.

Calendar Month Reset: Usage limits reset on the 1st of each calendar month (UTC), regardless of when you subscribed or when your billing period begins. This means:

• If you subscribe on January 15th, your usage will reset on February 1st

• If you downgrade mid-month, your usage may exceed your new plan's limits until the next month
