Terms of Service

HVM Video Editor · Home Visions Media · Effective [Effective date]

These terms are an agreement between you and Home Visions Media (“we”, “us”) for using HVM Video Editor (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to them. If you use the Service for a business, you agree on its behalf.

1. What the Service does

The Service edits short videos from footage you upload: talking-head videos, lifestyle videos edited to match an inspiration (“inspo”) video, and shot lists that plan what to film. Editing is done by software, including AI models, on our servers. You receive finished video files (MP4) and shot lists.

2. Your account

  • You must be at least 18 and give a valid email address.
  • Keep your password private. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
  • One person per account unless your plan says otherwise.

3. Plans, credits and payment

  • Each edit uses credits; the number per video type is shown before you start.
  • Subscriptions renew automatically each month and add that month's credits until you cancel. You can cancel or change your plan any time from your Account page; cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
  • Credit packs are one-time purchases. Unused credits carry over while your account is open.
  • If an edit fails on our side, its credits are returned automatically.
  • Payments are handled by Stripe. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are not refundable. Prices may change; we'll tell you before a change affects your subscription.

4. Your content

  • You keep ownership of the footage you upload and the videos made from it. You give us permission to store, copy and process your content only to provide the Service to you (including sending stills and transcripts to our AI provider for analysis).
  • You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, including the people, places, music and other material in it, and that the finished videos can be used the way you intend.
  • Finished videos are silent unless your footage includes speech. You're responsible for any music or sound you add, and for following each platform's rules when you post.

5. Inspo videos

When you paste a link to an inspo video (for example on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook) or upload one, we use it only as a style reference: we measure its pacing, shots, camera moves and beat, then delete our copy. We don't keep it, republish it or use its footage or music in your video. You confirm you're allowed to use the video this way, that you won't copy its creative content, and that using its link complies with that platform's terms.

6. Acceptable use

Don't use the Service to:

  • upload content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights, or shows people without the consent the law requires;
  • make misleading, harmful, hateful or sexually explicit content, or content involving minors in any harmful way;
  • interfere with the Service, get around limits or credits, or access other customers' data;
  • resell or share access to the Service without our written permission.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules.

7. Storage and deletion

  • Raw footage and uploaded inspo videos are deleted 7 days after upload.
  • Finished videos and shot lists are kept while your account is open. Download copies you want to keep.
  • You can ask us to delete your account and content at any time.

8. AI and results

Edits, captions, shot lists and descriptions are produced automatically and can contain mistakes. Review every video before you post it. We don't promise any particular result, reach or business outcome.

9. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service running but don't guarantee it will always be available or error-free. We may change or discontinue features. If we discontinue the Service, we'll give reasonable notice so you can download your videos.

10. Disclaimers and limits of liability

The Service is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, and our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost data.

11. Ending the agreement

You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or don't pay. Sections 4, 5, 10 and 12 continue after the agreement ends.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [State]. We'll try to resolve any dispute informally first; please contact us.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.
