These terms are an agreement between you and Cinemac ("we", "us"). They cover the Cinemac app for Mac (the "App"), the website at cinemac.app, your Cinemac account, share links and anything else we offer under the Cinemac name (together, the "Service").
By creating an account, downloading the App or buying a plan, you agree to these terms, our privacy policy, our refund policy and our acceptable use policy. If you use Cinemac for a company, you agree on its behalf and confirm you're allowed to.
1. Your account
1.1 You need a Cinemac account to use the App. You sign in with your email address and a one-time code, so keep your email account secure. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
1.2 You must be at least 16, and old enough to agree to a contract where you live.
1.3 Give us a real email address you can receive mail at, and keep it up to date. One account is for one person.
2. Plans
2.1 Free. Every recording and editing feature works, including AI features used with your own keys. Saving projects and exporting videos need a paid plan.
2.2 Solo. A subscription for one person, billed monthly or yearly. While it's active, it unlocks saving and every export. When it ends, the App returns to Free: recording and editing keep working, saving and exporting lock, and your recordings and projects stay on your Mac.
2.3 Updates. Every Cinemac user gets every update to the App, on every plan. There's no separate charge for updates.
2.4 Macs. Each plan can be active on up to 2 Macs at a time. You can sign a Mac out from the App or your account page to make room for another.
2.5 Future plans. If we add plans such as Pro or Team, their price, limits and billing will be shown before you buy, and these terms will apply to them.
2.6 Changes to features. We keep improving Cinemac and may change or remove features in new versions.
3. Buying
3.1 We sell Cinemac directly, and when you subscribe your contract is with us. We handle customer service, cancellations and refunds. Payments are processed for us by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe") on its own secure checkout and billing pages. Stripe takes your card details; we never see or store your full card number.
3.2 Prices are in US dollars. Sales tax, VAT or GST is added at checkout where it applies.
3.3 Launch prices, founder prices and discount codes are for a limited time or a limited number of buyers, as stated in the offer. Only one discount applies to a purchase.
3.4 We may change our prices. A change never affects a period you've already paid for. We'll email you at least 30 days before a new price applies to your subscription, and you can cancel before it does (section 4).
4. Subscriptions and automatic renewal
4.1 Your subscription renews automatically until you cancel. At the start of each billing period, monthly or yearly, we charge the current price for your plan (now $20 a month or $129 a year for Solo, plus any tax) to the payment method you used, through Stripe.
4.2 Cancel anytime. Cancel from your account page at cinemac.app/account (Manage subscription), or email bharat@innoventuresai.com and we'll do it for you. Cancelling stops the next renewal. Your plan keeps working until the end of the period you've paid for, then the App returns to Free.
4.3 Switching plans. You can switch between monthly and yearly billing in the same place. The new price and any charge are shown before you confirm.
4.4 Reminders. For yearly plans, we email you at least 15 days before each renewal with the date and the amount. Every charge comes with a receipt by email.
4.5 Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we retry it, and your plan keeps working for a 14-day grace period while it does. You can update your payment method from your account page (Manage subscription). If the payment still hasn't gone through when the grace period ends, the subscription ends and the App returns to Free.
4.6 Free months. Free months you earn by inviting friends move your next renewal later by one month each (see our invite terms).
5. Refunds
You can get a full refund within 14 days of your first payment, without giving a reason. Renewals aren't refunded, except where the law requires it, so cancel before a renewal if you don't want it. Details are in our refund policy. A refund or chargeback ends the subscription it paid for and returns the App to Free, on every Mac. This doesn't affect your rights under consumer law.
6. Your licence to use the App
6.1 Subject to these terms, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App on Macs you own or control: on any number of Macs for Free, and on up to 2 Macs at a time for a paid plan. The App is licensed, not sold.
6.2 You may use the App and the videos you make with it for personal and commercial purposes. A Solo plan is for the person who holds the account. A company buying for several people needs one plan per person.
6.3 You may not:
- share your account or plan with other people, or resell, rent or sublicense it;
- get around the sign-in, the 2-Mac limit, the save and export lock, or any other licence check;
- copy, modify or distribute the App, except as the law allows or an open-source licence for a component permits;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except where the law allows it despite this restriction;
- remove our notices or branding from the App.
6.4 The App includes open-source components under their own licences, which are listed in the App's acknowledgements. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under those licences.
6.5 The App checks with us now and then to confirm your plan and to look for updates. Your plan is stored on your Mac in a signed pass, so the App keeps working offline, but you need to connect to sign in on a new Mac and to receive changes to your plan.
7. Updates and beta versions
7.1 The App can download and install updates for you. You can choose when to install them. We may mark an update as required when it fixes a security problem or keeps the App working with our servers.
7.2 Beta versions are early and may be unstable. Keep backups, and don't rely on them for important work. You can switch beta versions off in Settings at any time.
8. Your content
8.1 Your recordings, projects, scripts, exports and anything else you make with Cinemac ("Your Content") belong to you. We don't claim any rights to it.
8.2 Your Content stays on your Mac unless you make a share link. When you do, you give us permission to store, copy, convert and show that video and its details to anyone with the link, only so we can run the share link. That permission ends when you stop sharing it, apart from copies in backups that are overwritten in the normal way.
8.3 You're responsible for Your Content and for having every right and consent it needs. That includes other people's screens, faces, voices, names and private information, and music, logos or software that belongs to someone else. Recording people may require their permission where you are; it's up to you to ask.
8.4 Keep your own backups. We don't store your projects and can't recover them for you.
9. AI features and other services
9.1 AI voice and the AI presenter work with your own accounts at ElevenLabs and HeyGen, using your own keys. Your use of those services is between you and them: their terms, prices and policies apply, and they bill you directly. We're not responsible for their services or what they produce.
9.2 Don't use an AI voice or presenter to impersonate a real person without their consent, or to mislead viewers about who is speaking. Voice clones and avatars of real people need that person's permission.
9.3 AI output can be wrong or unexpected. Check it before you publish.
10. Share links
10.1 Share links are for showing your videos to the people you choose. Anyone with a link can watch it.
10.2 We may set limits on share links, such as video length, file size or how many you can keep, and we'll show them in the App.
10.3 We may remove a shared video that breaks these terms or our acceptable use policy, or that we receive a valid legal complaint about. See our copyright policy.
11. Invites and affiliates
Invite rewards follow our invite terms. Affiliate partners follow our affiliate terms.
12. Acceptable use
Use Cinemac lawfully and follow our acceptable use policy. Don't attack or overload our services, scrape them, or use them to send spam or malware.
13. Feedback
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them to improve Cinemac without paying you or owing you anything. We won't name you without asking.
14. Our property
Cinemac, the App, the website, our logo ("dot, dot, play") and our other branding belong to us or our licensors. These terms don't give you any rights to them beyond the licence in section 6. "Made with Cinemac" on a share page links back to us; please leave it there.
15. Suspension and ending
15.1 You can stop using Cinemac at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account by emailing bharat@innoventuresai.com.
15.2 We may suspend or close an account, or remove a share link, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other people or our services. Unless the law or safety stops us, we'll tell you why first and give you a chance to fix it. If we close a paid account without a good reason under these terms, we'll refund a fair part of what you paid.
15.3 If we ever stop offering Cinemac, we'll tell you at least 90 days ahead, stop all renewals, and refund the unused part of any period you've paid for.
15.4 Sections 6.3, 8, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 19 continue after these terms end.
16. Disclaimers
We work hard to make Cinemac reliable, but software has bugs. To the extent the law allows, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that a recording will never be lost.
17. Limits on our liability
17.1 To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill.
17.2 To the extent the law allows, our total liability for all claims about the Service is limited to the greater of what you paid for Cinemac in the 12 months before the claim, and US$50.
17.3 Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
17.4 If you're a consumer, you have legal rights in your country that these terms can't change. If you live in the EU or UK, we're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care, and sections 16, 17.1 and 17.2 apply only as far as your local law allows.
18. If you use Cinemac for business
If you use Cinemac for a business, you'll compensate us for reasonable costs and losses from third-party claims caused by Your Content or by your breaking these terms.
19. Law and disputes
19.1 These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to the state and federal courts located in Delaware. If you're a consumer, you can also bring a claim in the courts where you live, and you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country.
19.2 Before starting a formal dispute, please email bharat@innoventuresai.com and give us 30 days to try to sort it out.
20. Export rules
You may not use Cinemac where US, EU, UK or UN sanctions forbid it, or if you're on a sanctions list.
21. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Cinemac changes. If a change matters, we'll email you at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless it's needed sooner for legal or security reasons. If you don't agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect, and your plan keeps working to the end of the period you've paid for.
22. Everything else
These terms, and the policies they link to, are the whole agreement between you and us about Cinemac. If part of them can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part straight away, we can still enforce it later. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them to a company that takes over Cinemac, and your rights stay the same.
