Conditions d'utilisation

1. Who we are, and what you are agreeing to

I HATE EDITING is a video editing service. These Terms are an agreement between you and BAKCHICH, société par actions simplifiée (SAS), Marseille Innovation — Pôle Média, 37 rue Guibal, 13003 Marseille, France, registered in France under SIREN 942 552 274 (SIRET 942 552 274 00022) — “we”, “us”. They govern your use of the I HATE EDITINGwebsite and application (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of them.

The software behind the Service is owned by ShortCut Lab, 36 rue de la République, Hammam-Lif 2050, Tunisia, and is made available internationally by us. Your contract, and every obligation in these Terms, is with us.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What the Service does

The Service is an editing tool. You supply a script or a voiceover for a video you intend to publish. We assemble it into an editable draft — chapters, captions, music, overlays, timing — which you then finish in a browser timeline and render.

We are not a content library and not a publisher. We do not host a catalogue for browsing, we do not distribute your projects to anyone, and no user can access another user’s projects or media through the Service.

The Service is in beta. Access may be limited to invited users, features may change or be withdrawn, and output quality varies. Nothing here is a commitment to any particular feature remaining available.

3. Accounts and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to use the Service. Accounts are managed through our authentication provider. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure.

You may not share an account, resell access, or use the Service on behalf of someone who has been suspended.

4. Credits, payment and refunds

The Service is paid for with credits. Credits are consumed when work is performed — principally when a draft is produced and when a video is rendered. Current prices and credit costs are shown on the pricing page and in the application before you commit to a job.

Payments are processed by Polar, which acts as merchant of record. Your purchase is therefore made with Polar, and Polar handles billing, invoicing and applicable sales tax or VAT.

Credits are not money, carry no cash value, and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred between accounts. Unused credits are refundable at our discretion; credits already consumed by a completed job are not, because the work has been performed.

Consumers in the EU, EEA and UK: you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content. By starting a job that consumes credits within that period, you ask us to begin performance immediately and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal for the credits so consumed. Credits you have not used remain refundable within the 14 days.

If a job fails through our fault, tell us and we will restore the credits it consumed.

5. Your content

“Your Content” means everything you provide to the Service: scripts, voiceovers, uploaded footage, images, music, and anything else you supply or point us at.

Your Content remains yours.You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, process, transmit, adapt and display it strictly for the purpose of providing the Service to you — and for no other purpose. In particular, we do not use Your Content to train machine learning models, and we do not use it in marketing without asking you first.

You warrant that you own Your Content or hold all rights and licences necessary to use it as you are using it, and that our processing of it at your direction will not infringe anyone’s rights.

6. Media supplied through the Service

Some media reaches your project through the Service rather than from your own upload. How that media may be used depends on where it came from, and the distinction matters:

• Licensed stock. Stock footage and images offered in the editor are retrieved from Pixabay and are governed by the Pixabay Content License. Our servers will only fetch stock media from an allowlisted set of licensed sources, so arbitrary media cannot enter a project through this route.
• Reference material. Where the Service displays third-party thumbnails or search results to help you choose a visual direction, that material is shown for reference only. It is not licensed to you and must not be republished.
• Everything else. Any other media you introduce is Your Content under section 5, and the warranty in that section applies to it.

We do not warrant that any media or output is cleared for your intended use. Licence terms differ by source, by territory and by how you publish. You are responsible for confirming that you hold the rights to every element of a video before you publish it, monetise it, or use it commercially. Where a source requires attribution, you are responsible for providing it.

7. Output

Subject to section 6 and to your having paid for it, the video you produce is yours: we claim no ownership of your finished output and place no restriction on your commercial use of it.

Automated systems produce similar results from similar inputs. We therefore cannot promise your output is unique, and other users may receive comparable results from comparable scripts.

8. Acceptable use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. It prohibits, among other things, infringing material, non-consensual synthetic depictions of real people, and using the Service to circumvent any third-party platform’s terms or technical protections. Breaching it is a breach of these Terms.

9. Intellectual property in the Service

The Service itself — the software, interface, models, templates and brand — is owned by ShortCut Lab and made available to you by us. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of it. You receive a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service, and nothing more; you may not copy, reverse engineer, resell or build a competing service from it.

This section is about the Service. It does not affect your ownership of Your Content under section 5, or of your finished output under section 7.

10. Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties for hosting, authentication, storage, payment, compute and search. They are listed in our Privacy Policy. Their availability is outside our control, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions beyond our own obligations to you.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access where you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, where required by law, or where continued access presents a legal or security risk. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will tell you why and give you a chance to put it right.

On termination, your right to use the Service ends. We will make your projects available for a reasonable period so you can retrieve them, except where we are required to remove them sooner.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we exclude all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, nor that output will meet your expectations.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any statutory rights you have as a consumer.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, nor for lost profits, revenue, goodwill or data.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100.

14. Indemnity

You will indemnify us against claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from Your Content, from your use of the Service, from your publication of output, or from your breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Where a change materially affects your rights we will give reasonable notice, by email or in the application, before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the law of France, and the courts of Marseille, France have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of law of your country of residence, nor of your right to bring proceedings there.

17. Questions and notices

Formal notices, including copyright complaints, may be sent through our contact page. If you believe material in a project infringes your rights, tell us what the material is, where it appears, and what right you hold, and we will investigate and remove it where the complaint is substantiated.
