Terms of Service

Established and last revised: September 6, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set out the conditions for using the Beutl account, Store, cloud storage, paid AI features, APIs, and other online services (collectively, the "Service") provided by the person or entity that operates Beutl ("we", "us", or "our").

Anyone who uses the Service (a "User") must review and agree to these Terms before using it. By creating an account, signing in to the Service, acquiring or purchasing a product, publishing content, or initiating an AI operation, you agree to these Terms.

1. Scope and additional terms

  1. These Terms apply to all aspects of our relationship with Users concerning the Service.
  2. Product pages, checkout screens, licenses, guidelines, notices, and other conditions displayed through the Service (collectively, "Additional Terms") form part of these Terms. If Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms take precedence only for the matter they specifically govern. Terms established by a Publisher or another third party cannot alter payment, security, or other aspects of the relationship between us and a User.
  3. Open-source Beutl software is governed by the licenses included with or displayed for that software. These Terms do not restrict rights granted under those open-source licenses.

2. Eligibility

  1. You must have the legal capacity necessary to agree to these Terms and enter into a contract.
  2. A minor must obtain the prior consent of a parent or other legal representative before creating an account, purchasing a paid service, or publishing content.
  3. If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Accounts

  1. You must provide accurate, current information and update it when necessary.
  2. You are responsible for safeguarding email sign-in links, connected accounts, passkeys, session tokens, and all other authentication methods, and must not allow another person to use them.
  3. Unless an act is attributable to our intent or negligence, activity performed through an account is treated as activity of the User who owns that account. Contact us immediately if you become aware of unauthorized use or compromised authentication information.
  4. You may not transfer, lend, or sell your account.

4. The Service

The Service primarily includes the following features. Available features, capacity, processing limits, supported formats, and other restrictions are governed by the displays in the Service and any Additional Terms.

5. Paid services, payments, and AI allowances

  1. The price, currency, billing interval, entitlement or allowance, and other conditions of a paid service are displayed on the product page or checkout screen before you confirm a purchase. You are responsible for internet access charges and any other costs required to connect to the Service.
  2. Payments are processed through Stripe. You must also comply with the terms applicable to your use of Stripe.
  3. A recurring purchase renews automatically at the interval displayed at checkout. You may cancel it from the billing page before the next renewal. After cancellation, you may continue to use the applicable features until the end of the current access period shown on that page.
  4. The monthly AI allowance resets when the billing period renews, and unused allowance does not carry over. The balance and conditions of separately purchased credits are governed by the purchase and billing pages.
  5. Starting an AI operation reserves or consumes the allowance or credits indicated for that operation. If we can confirm that a failed operation did not run, the reserved amount is restored. If a network interruption or similar event makes the outcome at an external AI provider uncertain, the amount may remain reserved until the outcome is resolved in order to prevent duplicate execution.
  6. If a refund, payment reversal, or dispute occurs, we may revoke the corresponding product entitlement or credits. If credits that have already been consumed correspond to a refunded or reversed payment, the shortfall may be deducted from credits purchased later.
  7. Due to the nature of digital products, purchases are not returnable or refundable for convenience after confirmation, except where required by law or permitted by Additional Terms. See the Commercial Transactions Disclosure for sales conditions and remedies for defective products.

6. User Content

  1. Rights in text, images, audio, video, software, packages, and other data that a User enters, transmits, stores, or publishes through the Service ("User Content") remain with the User or the lawful rightsholder.
  2. You grant us a non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, transform, transmit, and display User Content only as necessary to provide, store, convert, back up, secure, distribute, display, and support the Service. This license generally lasts until the relevant content is deleted or the account ends, but may continue for a reasonable period as necessary for legal compliance, dispute resolution, backups, and deletion processes already in progress.
  3. You represent that you hold all rights, permissions, and individual consents necessary for the Service to process your User Content and that the content does not infringe another person's copyright, privacy, publicity rights, or other rights.
  4. A profile, package, description, screenshot, or release set to public is made available to the public on the internet. Do not include confidential information or personal information that must not be disclosed.

7. Store and published packages

  1. A User who publishes a package (a "Publisher") must accurately describe its contents, supported environment, price, description, and license. A package must not contain malicious code or data materially different from its description.
  2. A Publisher grants us a non-exclusive right to use, review, store, reproduce, distribute, display, and promote the package as necessary to operate the Service and to license it to acquirers.
  3. If a separate license is displayed on a product page or included with a package, that license applies. If no separate license is provided, the Publisher grants each acquirer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to:
    • Install and use the package with Beutl on devices controlled by the acquirer for personal or commercial productions
    • Use, publish, distribute, or sell videos and other works created using the package
    • Use a free or purchased package without a fixed end date, unless a specific use period was disclosed before acquisition, in which case the license lasts for that period
  4. The preceding license does not permit redistribution, resale, lending, or publication of the package itself, or of assets extracted from it, on a standalone or substantially identical basis.
  5. We may unpublish or stop distributing a package, revoke a purchase, or take other appropriate action if we reasonably believe that the package violates law or these Terms, infringes rights, presents a security risk, or has a material defect.

8. AI features

  1. Prompts, images, audio, subtitles, and other input submitted to an AI feature are sent to OpenRouter and to the business operating the selected model. Do not submit confidential information, authentication information, legally sensitive personal information, or another person's personal information unless you have a lawful basis and a genuine need to do so.
  2. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate, or similar to output provided to someone else. We do not warrant its originality, accuracy, legality, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights. You are responsible for reviewing output and obtaining any required rights before using or publishing it.
  3. We do not claim ownership of AI input or output. Whether rights arise in output, and who owns those rights, depends on applicable law, the input, and relevant third-party terms.
  4. Do not treat AI output as a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, safety, or other advice. Do not make a decision that materially affects a person's rights or safety solely on AI output without appropriate human review.

9. Prohibited conduct

You must not engage in any of the following conduct when using the Service:

10. Investigation, removal, and restrictions

  1. When reasonably necessary to comply with law or these Terms, protect third-party rights, or secure the Service, we may investigate activity, make User Content private, remove content, restrict features, suspend an account, or terminate an agreement.
  2. When the matter is not urgent, we will, where practicable, provide the reason before or after taking action and accept an explanation from the User. Notice may be withheld where required for legal process, an investigation, security, or protection of third-party rights.

11. Third-party services and packages

  1. The Service relies on third-party services for payments, authentication, email, cloud infrastructure, AI processing, and other functions. Those services are governed by their respective terms, and an outage, specification change, or discontinuation may make part of the Service unavailable.
  2. A package supplied by a Publisher is not necessarily created by us. Although we work to maintain safety, you must review the permissions, source, description, license, and supported environment before using a package.

12. Changes, interruptions, and discontinuation

  1. We may change or temporarily interrupt all or part of the Service for maintenance, incident response, security, legal compliance, changes to third-party services, or another reasonable cause. Except in an emergency, we will provide advance notice where practicable if the effect on Users is material.
  2. If we discontinue the Service or a paid feature, we will provide reasonable advance notice and, in accordance with law and Additional Terms, take reasonable measures such as migration, substitute performance, or a refund for unprovided paid service or remaining paid entitlements.

13. Account termination

  1. You may delete your account through the designated process in account settings. If a payment, refund, AI operation, or storage operation is in progress, deletion may be deferred until that operation can be completed or canceled safely.
  2. After account deletion, you may lose access to cloud files, AI history, published packages, your library, and redownload rights. Save any data you need before deleting the account.
  3. A license for a free or one-time-purchase package lawfully downloaded before account deletion survives deletion unless it is revoked due to a refund, payment reversal, rights infringement, or breach of these Terms.
  4. Payment, intellectual property, liability, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive remain effective after an account ends.

14. No warranties

  1. The Service is provided as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no express or implied warranty that the Service will always be available without interruption, will operate in every environment, will be free from defects or vulnerabilities, will preserve or restore every item of data, or that the Service, AI output, or published content will be accurate, complete, secure, lawful, or fit for a particular purpose.
  2. We do not warrant that using or being unable to use the Service will cause no loss, or that any resulting loss will be compensated. You are responsible for backing up important files and work and for using the Service, AI output, and packages at your own judgment and risk.
  3. This section does not exclude liability that we must bear under applicable law.

15. Our liability

  1. We are not liable for loss caused by a User's conduct or environment, a Publisher or another third party, a third-party service outage or specification change, a communications failure, power outage, disaster, law or government action, or any other cause not attributable to us.
  2. If loss results from our ordinary negligence, we are not liable for lost profits or indirect, special, consequential, or data-loss damages, and are liable only for direct and ordinary loss actually incurred. If the User paid for the relevant service during the twelve months before the event causing the loss, liability is capped at that amount. This monetary cap does not apply where the User paid no consideration for the relevant service.
  3. The exclusions and limitations in the preceding two paragraphs do not apply to loss caused by our intentional misconduct or gross negligence. They also do not apply to the extent that the Consumer Contract Act or another mandatory law prohibits the exclusion or limitation.

16. User responsibility

If a breach of these Terms or infringement of third-party rights caused by a matter attributable to a User causes actual loss to us, that User is responsible for the direct and ordinary loss.

17. Privacy

We handle information about Users in accordance with the Privacy Policy. Review that policy before using AI features because AI input is sent to external AI providers.

18. Changes to these Terms

  1. We may amend these Terms under Article 548-4 of the Civil Code when an amendment benefits Users generally, or when it is not contrary to the purpose of the agreement and is reasonable in light of the need for the amendment, the appropriateness of its substance, and other relevant circumstances.
  2. We will publish the amendment and its effective date through the Service. If an amendment materially disadvantages Users, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email to the registered address or another appropriate method.
  3. An amendment that requires individual consent under applicable law applies only after that consent is obtained through the designated process.

19. Notices and contact

  1. We may notify Users by publishing a notice through the Service, sending it to a registered email address, or using another method we consider appropriate.
  2. Send questions about these Terms or the Service, rights-infringement reports, and defect reports to contact@beditor.net.

20. Assignment and severability

  1. A User may not assign their status or any right or obligation under these Terms to a third party without our prior written consent.
  2. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect.

21. Governing law and disputes

  1. These Terms and the Service are governed by Japanese law.
  2. If a dispute arises, we will first attempt to resolve it with the User through good-faith discussion. If the dispute cannot be resolved, a court in Japan that has jurisdiction under the Code of Civil Procedure or other applicable law will serve as the court of first instance.
