Terms of Service

Last updated: 18 September 2026

Thank you for using B-Roll Pipeline. It is a small tool, run by one person, and these terms exist so that both of us know where we stand. Please read the section on stock footage in particular — it describes an obligation that falls on you, not on us.

When we say “the Service”, we mean the B-Roll Pipeline web application and the pipeline behind it. When we say “we” or “us”, we mean the operator of the Service. When we say “you”, we mean the person using an account on it.

By using the Service you agree to the latest version of these Terms. If you violate them, we may close your account. These Terms contain a limitation of our liability.

Private beta

  1. The Service is currently an invite-only private beta. Access is granted by invitation and may be withdrawn at any time.
  2. The Service is provided free of charge during the beta. There is no payment, no subscription, and no contractual commitment on either side. If that changes, we will tell you before charging you anything.
  3. Beta software is unfinished. Expect bugs, downtime, and changes. We make no guarantee that the Service will meet your requirements, and no guarantee that it will continue to exist.

Account terms

  1. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep them secure.
  2. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  3. You must be a human. Accounts registered by bots or other automated methods are not permitted.
  4. You must provide a valid email address. We use it to authenticate you and to contact you about the Service.

Stock footage and licensing — your responsibility

  1. The Service searches third-party stock footage providers and downloads clips on your instruction. We do not own, licence, or supply that footage. Each provider sets its own licence terms, and those terms are between you and that provider.
  2. It is your responsibility to confirm that each clip you use is licensed for your intended use — including commercial use, broadcast, modification, and any attribution the provider requires. Do this before you publish, not after.
  3. Downloads include a CREDITS.txt file listing the source and, where the provider supplies it, the creator and a link. This is offered as a convenience to help you meet attribution requirements. It is not a licence, not legal advice, and not a guarantee of completeness — some providers do not expose creator information, and those clips are credited by source alone.
  4. We make no representation that any clip is free of third-party rights. If a rights-holder objects to your use of footage you obtained through the Service, that is a matter between you and them.

Acceptable use

  1. Each account has a monthly cap on AI processing costs. Attempting to circumvent that cap — including by creating multiple accounts — will result in termination.
  2. You may not use the Service to produce or seek material that is unlawful, or that infringes the rights of others.
  3. You may not attempt to disrupt the Service, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, or use it in a way that degrades it for other users. If you believe you have found a security issue, please report it to us rather than exploiting it. Good-faith reports are welcome.
  4. Abuse or threats directed at the operator will result in immediate termination.

Your content and ours

  1. The transcripts and scripts you upload remain yours. We claim no ownership of them. You grant us only the limited permission needed to run the Service for you — which includes sending your text to our AI provider to generate a shot list.
  2. You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload.
  3. We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right, without obligation, to remove content or refuse processing at our discretion.

Data retention and deletion

  1. Completed jobs and their downloaded footage are deleted from our servers roughly 30 minutes after the job finishes. This keeps storage costs sustainable. Download your footage promptly — once a job is cleaned up, we cannot recover it.
  2. You can delete your account from within the Service. Doing so removes your job records, your stored files, and your authentication record.
  3. How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.

Availability and termination

  1. Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. It is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. There is no service level agreement and no uptime guarantee.
  2. We may modify or discontinue any part of the Service, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice.
  3. We may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any current or future use of the Service, for any reason, at any time.
  4. You may stop using the Service at any time.

Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties, including an AI provider for shot-list generation, stock footage providers, an authentication and database provider, and a hosting provider. Their availability is outside our control, and we are not liable for their acts, omissions, or outages.

Liability

You expressly understand and agree that we shall not be liable, in law or in equity, to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, lost profits, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from: (i) the use or the inability to use the Service; (ii) the cost of procurement of substitute goods and services; (iii) unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data; (iv) any claim arising from your use of footage obtained through the Service; (v) statements or conduct of any third party on the Service; or (vi) any other matter relating to these Terms or the Service, whether as a breach of contract, tort (including negligence whether active or passive), or any other theory of liability.

In plain terms: choosing to use the Service means making a bet on a small tool built by one person. If the bet does not work out, that is on you, not on us. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we make a significant change, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Nothing in this clause removes any mandatory consumer protection you have under the law of the country where you live.
