  • a payment has been reversed, disputed, or charged back;
  • the user has breached these Terms; or
  • credit balances have been manipulated through exploitation of bugs, automated systems, or other unintended Platform behaviour.

5A. AI Services, Credits & Usage

5A.1 Use of Artificial Intelligence

VidPlate uses artificial intelligence technologies to provide certain features and services available through the Platform, including the generation, analysis, processing, and transformation of images, videos, text, and other content.

To provide these services, VidPlate may utilise third-party AI models and providers, including but not limited to OpenAI, Google Gemini, Google Nano Banana, Google Veo, ByteDance and BytePlus services including ModelArk, Seedream, and Seedance models, Alibaba Cloud (Qwen), Runway, Stability AI, and other external AI services.

Users acknowledge and agree that content, prompts, instructions, images, videos, metadata, and other information submitted through the Platform may be processed by such third-party AI providers solely for the purpose of delivering the requested services and improving Platform functionality.

VidPlate Recipes let users chain multiple processing steps together. A given Recipe may use only non-AI steps, only AI steps, or a mix of both; this section 5A applies only to the steps within a Recipe that call a third-party AI provider.

5A.2 AI Service Availability

AI features and content generation services depend on the availability, performance, and policies of third-party AI providers.

VidPlate does not control such third-party services and cannot guarantee their continuous availability, performance, accuracy, or functionality.

AI services may be interrupted, restricted, delayed, modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time due to circumstances beyond VidPlate's reasonable control.

VidPlate shall not be liable for any loss, delay, failure, inability to generate content, or other damages arising from the unavailability, outage, restriction, or discontinuation of any third-party AI service or model.

5A.3 AI Models and Providers

VidPlate may add, remove, replace, upgrade, downgrade, or modify any AI model, provider, feature, or generation method at any time.

VidPlate reserves the right to change VidPlate AI Credit consumption rates, AI features, AI providers, AI models, generation limits, and available functionality at any time.

Users acknowledge that specific AI models, providers, outputs, capabilities, quality levels, or generation speeds are not guaranteed and may change without notice.

Such changes shall not entitle users to refunds, credits, compensation, or cancellation rights.

5A.4 AI Generation Outcomes

AI-generated content is produced probabilistically and may not match a user's expectations, instructions, or intended outcome.

Credits used for successfully processed AI generation requests will not be refunded solely because a user is dissatisfied with the result.

Where a generation request fails due to a verified technical error within the Platform, VidPlate may, at its sole discretion, restore the affected credits or regenerate the content.

5A.5 Accuracy of AI Outputs

AI-generated content may contain factual inaccuracies, omissions, misleading information, or references to non-existent persons, products, services, events, or sources.

Users are solely responsible for independently reviewing and verifying all AI-generated content before publication, distribution, reliance, or commercial use.

VidPlate accepts no liability for losses arising from reliance on AI-generated outputs.

5A.6 Fair Usage of AI Services

AI features are provided subject to fair and reasonable usage.

VidPlate reserves the right to implement rate limits, usage caps, queueing systems, moderation controls, or other restrictions where necessary to protect Platform performance, maintain service quality, comply with third-party provider requirements, or prevent excessive consumption of computing resources.

Users must not use automated scripts, bots, scraping tools, bulk-generation systems, or other methods intended to circumvent usage limits, credit requirements, or Platform restrictions without VidPlate's prior written consent.

5A.7 AI Content Restrictions

Users must not use AI-powered features to generate, distribute, or facilitate:

VidPlate may remove content, refuse requests, suspend credits, or terminate accounts where it reasonably believes this clause has been breached.

  • deceptive impersonations of individuals or organisations;
  • unauthorised deepfakes or synthetic media;
  • fraudulent, defamatory, or misleading content;
  • content that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or personality rights; or
  • content prohibited under applicable law or these Terms.

6. User Content, Projects & Licenses

  • 6.1 Users retain ownership of final content (Projects) generated through the Platform.
  • 6.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, VidPlate may use anonymised and aggregated data for service improvement, analytics, research, and development. VidPlate will not use identifiable User Content for AI training or model fine-tuning without an express written agreement.
  • 6.3 Because VidPlate uses artificial intelligence, Projects may not be unique, and other users may receive similar or identical outputs. VidPlate makes no representation regarding originality or exclusivity of AI-generated content.
  • 6.4 Users must ensure they have full rights to any content uploaded. VidPlate accepts no responsibility for copyright or intellectual-property issues arising from user-uploaded content.
  • 6.5 Users warrant that they have all necessary rights, licences, and permissions to upload, use, modify, distribute, or process any templates, assets, fonts, plugins, scripts, or media submitted to the Platform. Users are solely responsible for ensuring they hold all required licences and permissions for any third-party assets used within the Platform or submitted for content creation, including but not limited to fonts, stock footage, music, logos, or third-party plugins.
  • 6.6 Users must not upload or transfer sensitive personal data, including but not limited to health data, biometric data, or financial data subject to special regulations. VidPlate disclaims all liability for any such data, and users indemnify VidPlate against claims relating to its upload.
  • 6.7 User Content may be stored while an account remains active and for a reasonable period afterwards where needed to provide the Platform, maintain order history, support analytics, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, or enforce these Terms. VidPlate may delete inactive, expired, cancelled, or terminated account content without liability where permitted by law and the Privacy Policy.
  • 6.8 VidPlate may remove or restrict access to any User Content that it reasonably believes violates these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of others.
  • 6.9 Users are solely responsible for maintaining backups of all uploaded content, project files, generated assets, exports, and deliverables.
  • 6.10 VidPlate may permanently delete projects, uploads, renders, drafts, exports, and associated assets after prolonged inactivity, account cancellation, or account termination without liability.
  • 6.11 Custom Font Uploads: Where users upload custom or third-party fonts to the Platform, users are solely and exclusively responsible for ensuring they hold all appropriate licences to use those fonts in connection with their content, including any commercial use, broadcast, distribution, or reproduction of content incorporating those fonts. Font licences vary significantly - some fonts are restricted to personal use, desktop use, or specific output types and may not permit web embedding, video production, commercial distribution, or broadcast. It is the user's responsibility to verify the scope of any font licence before uploading or using a font on the Platform. VidPlate accepts no liability for any intellectual property claims, infringement actions, licence violations, takedown demands, or legal proceedings arising from fonts uploaded or used by users. By uploading a font to the Platform, users represent and warrant that they are fully and validly licensed to use that font for their intended purpose, including all downstream uses of content produced using that font.

6A. Orders & Content Responsibility

  • 6A.1 Credits are deducted from the account balance at the point an order is placed. Once an order has been submitted through the Platform it is final. No refunds of credits will be issued for cancelled, mistaken, or unused orders.
  • 6A.2 Users are solely responsible for the accuracy, ownership, and appropriateness of all content, information, instructions, and assets uploaded or entered into the Platform. VidPlate is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in user-provided materials.
  • 6A.3 VidPlate designers may exercise professional creative judgment in developing the ordered content to achieve the best possible result. Minor adjustments may be requested only through the Platform change-request process. Major revisions, redesigns, or new concepts require additional credits or new orders. VidPlate reserves the right to determine what constitutes a minor or major revision.
  • 6A.4 Deliverables will be provided in standard digital file formats supported by the Platform, for example MP4, JPG, or PNG. VidPlate is under no obligation to supply source, layered, or editable working files unless expressly agreed in writing.
  • 6A.5 Creative output is inherently subjective. VidPlate will deliver professional-quality work consistent with the Platform standards, but creative satisfaction cannot be guaranteed. User preference differences do not entitle the user to refunds, additional revisions, or credits.
  • 6A.6 VidPlate aims to process and deliver most orders within two business days. This timeframe is an estimate only and not a guarantee. Processing times may vary depending on workload, complexity, or unforeseen circumstances. Delays do not entitle users to refunds or compensation.
  • 6A.7 VidPlate is not responsible for the quality, resolution, colour accuracy, or suitability of media assets uploaded by users. Low-quality or improperly formatted uploads may result in reduced-quality outputs.
  • 6A.8 VidPlate is not liable for loss, deletion, or corruption of user-generated or uploaded content, drafts, or final outputs. Users should download and securely store copies of all completed deliverables.
  • 6A.9 VidPlate may reject, cancel, or suspend any order that, in its sole discretion, appears to breach these Terms, applicable law, or third-party rights. No refund of credits will be made for such refused or cancelled orders.
  • 6A.10 VidPlate does not guarantee that content produced through the Platform will be approved or accepted by any social-media or advertising network, or achieve particular performance results, metrics, or business outcomes. Users remain solely responsible for verifying that created content complies with relevant ad-platform policies and achieves their intended goals.

6B. VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro & VidPlate Studio Render

6B.1 Overview

VidPlate Studio and VidPlate Studio Pro are software tools and extensions provided by VidPlate for use with Adobe After Effects and related creative workflows.

VidPlate Studio may be made available as a standalone extension, while VidPlate Studio Pro may be provided as part of a VidPlate Platform subscription.

VidPlate Studio Render and the Desktop Render App allow authorised Windows workstations to register as render machines, receive eligible render jobs from VidPlate, process those jobs through Adobe After Effects, and return render status, output metadata, and completed files where supported.

6B.2 Licence

Subject to compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, VidPlate grants users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App solely for their internal business purposes.

Users may not sublicense, distribute, sell, rent, lease, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works based upon the software except where prohibited by applicable law.

6B.3 Adobe After Effects Dependency

VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, and VidPlate Studio Render require compatible versions of Adobe After Effects and related Adobe software.

Users are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining valid Adobe licences, compatible software versions, plugins, fonts, templates, scripts, and workstation configurations required for their render workflows.

VidPlate is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Adobe Inc.

VidPlate shall not be responsible for functionality issues arising from Adobe software updates, changes, restrictions, deprecations, licensing requirements, or compatibility issues.

6B.4 Compatibility

VidPlate does not guarantee compatibility with all operating systems, devices, workstations, Adobe After Effects versions, plugins, extensions, scripts, fonts, templates, network environments, security tools, or third-party software.

Compatibility requirements may change over time as software platforms evolve.

6B.5 Updates and Modifications

VidPlate may release updates, patches, bug fixes, new features, or modifications to VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App at any time.

Certain updates may be mandatory for continued use.

VidPlate reserves the right to discontinue support for older versions of the software.

6B.6 Access and Subscription Requirements

Certain features of VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, or the Desktop Render App may require an active VidPlate subscription, paid add-on, internet connection, user authentication, organisation approval, machine approval, VidPlate AI Credits, VidPlate Credits, or access to Platform services.

Upon cancellation, suspension, or termination of an account, VidPlate may restrict or disable access to subscription-based functionality.

VidPlate reserves the right to impose usage limits, API limits, render queue limits, machine limits, authentication requirements, approval requirements, or security controls on VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App to protect the Platform and associated services.

6B.7 Local Processing and Data

VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App may access, process, transmit, cache, or store project data, render information, media assets, templates, prompts, usage information, diagnostics, logs, machine identifiers, workstation capability information, worker status, heartbeat timestamps, render queue metadata, render progress, render errors, output metadata, and configuration settings as required to provide functionality, process render jobs, troubleshoot issues, secure the service, and improve services.

VidPlate Studio Render may use local workstation resources, local storage, Adobe After Effects, installed dependencies, network connectivity, and configured render folders to process jobs. Users are responsible for maintaining backups of all project files, media assets, workstation configurations, local render data, and completed deliverables.

6B.8 Render Machines and Jobs

Users who register or approve a render machine represent that they are authorised to use that machine and its installed software for the relevant rendering work. Users are responsible for ensuring that each machine has lawful licences for Adobe After Effects, plugins, fonts, scripts, stock assets, templates, and other dependencies used during rendering.

Render availability, queue timing, job assignment, output quality, and processing speed may vary depending on machine availability, local configuration, network conditions, template complexity, third-party software, and system resources. VidPlate does not guarantee uninterrupted rendering, fixed processing times, or successful completion of every render job.

VidPlate may pause, revoke, reject, reassign, or disable render machines or render jobs where required for security, abuse prevention, technical integrity, entitlement enforcement, support, or service reliability.

6B.9 Support and Maintenance

VidPlate will use reasonable efforts to provide support and maintenance for VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App but does not guarantee response times, bug fixes, feature requests, compatibility updates, render recovery, or uninterrupted operation.

6B.10 Disclaimer

VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, and the Desktop Render App are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

VidPlate shall not be liable for any loss of work, rendering failures, failed or delayed jobs, project corruption, machine downtime, workstation performance issues, missed deadlines, software conflicts, data loss, business interruption, or other damages arising from the use of the software or render services.

6C. Studio Pro Template Builder

6C.1 Access and Scope

The Template Builder is available only to eligible Studio Pro accounts with an active subscription and allows authorised users to create static, in-app-rendered Templates in the formats supported by the Platform. It does not create Adobe After Effects project files or provide editable source files.

Access is an account-level entitlement. The primary account holder is responsible for deciding which users may access the account and for all Builder Templates created, changed, published, used, or deleted by those users.

6C.2 Organisation Workspace and Publishing

Builder Templates form part of the relevant Studio Pro organisation workspace and are not private to the individual user who created them. Account administrators and other users with applicable access may be able to view, edit, duplicate, publish, use, or delete Builder Templates and related assets. Where a Builder Template is assigned to a brand, its availability may also be limited by the Platform's brand and account-access controls.

Publishing a draft makes the Builder Template available in the organisation's Template library for eligible users and orders. Republishing updates the existing published Template where supported. Deleting a draft does not necessarily delete a previously published Template, generated library asset, completed Project, or export; those items must be managed separately where deletion controls are available.

6C.3 References, Assets, and Instructions

Users may upload reference images, logos, fonts, photographs, prompts, and other materials, or select assets from their organisation's library, to create a Builder Template. Users represent and warrant that they have all rights, licences, consents, and permissions required for VidPlate and its Third-Party Services to host, analyse, reproduce, modify, and use those materials as instructed through the Template Builder.

Users must not upload confidential information, personal data, likenesses, trade marks, copyrighted works, or other protected material unless their intended use and any AI processing are lawful and properly authorised. Reference reconstruction may produce a similar layout, but does not transfer or clear any third-party rights in the reference material.

6C.4 AI-Assisted Features and Credits

The Template Builder may use AI to analyse references, suggest or improve prompts, reconstruct layouts, refine elements, compare designs, and generate placeholder images. Section 5A applies to all such features.

An AI action that consumes VidPlate AI Credits will show the applicable charge or estimate before the user confirms it. Charges may vary as described in section 5A. Successfully generated placeholder images are saved to the organisation's asset library and may remain there if the related draft or layer is later replaced or deleted. Where a generation fails because of a verified Platform error, VidPlate will release or restore reserved credits in accordance with section 5A.4.

6C.5 Ownership and Operational Licence

Users retain the rights they already hold in their User Content and in original design elements they create through the Template Builder. VidPlate retains all rights in the Platform, Template Builder, software, rendering technology, standard Templates, starter materials, interfaces, workflows, and any VidPlate assets incorporated into a Builder Template. A Builder Template may therefore contain rights owned by more than one party.

The user grants VidPlate and its service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, adapt, render, display, and distribute User Content and Builder Templates only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, and maintain the Services, comply with law, and carry out the user's instructions. This licence lasts while the content is held in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Any VidPlate-owned material included in a Builder Template is licensed for use within the Platform during the applicable subscription only, unless VidPlate agrees otherwise in writing. Creating a Builder Template does not give the user ownership of the Template Builder, its underlying technology, or any VidPlate-owned or third-party material.

6C.6 Review, Rendering, and Output Responsibility

Users must review each Builder Template, its editable fields, brand assignment, previews, rights clearances, spelling, layout, and generated assets before publishing it or accepting orders against it. Publishing confirms that the user considers the Template ready for use.

Builder Templates are rendered automatically by the Platform into supported static output formats. Preview and final output may differ because of fonts, source-asset quality, cropping, colour handling, format dimensions, browser or rendering differences, and later Platform updates. VidPlate does not guarantee pixel-perfect reconstruction of a reference, uniqueness, error-free output, or suitability for a particular campaign, platform, or legal requirement.

Users remain responsible for reviewing completed Projects before publication or distribution and for correcting or withdrawing any Builder Template that produces unsuitable results. Nothing in this section excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6C.7 Availability, Storage, and End of Access

VidPlate may update the Template Builder, supported formats, rendering methods, limits, AI features, or technical requirements in accordance with these Terms. Temporary unavailability, queueing, or processing delays may occur, and users should keep independent copies of important source assets and completed outputs.

If a Studio Pro subscription ends or the account is suspended or terminated, access to the Template Builder and use of Builder Templates may end. Drafts, references, previews, generated assets, published Templates, and outputs may be retained or deleted in accordance with sections 6.7 to 6.10, the Privacy Policy, and applicable law.

6D. Figma Plugin and Imported Designs

6D.1 Access, Authorisation, and Scope

The Figma Plugin is an optional import tool for eligible VidPlate accounts. An import begins only when the user selects supported Figma content, enters a valid short-lived import code, chooses the relevant options, and instructs the plugin to send it to VidPlate. The code authorises a single import session and must not be shared.

The plugin may support complete Templates and individual rigged components. Client imports are stored within the authorised organisation. Components submitted through a VidPlate administrative account may be placed into a review-only general library and do not become system-wide or publicly available until separately reviewed and approved by VidPlate.

6D.2 Imported Data and Processing

When an import is started, the plugin may transmit the selected design structure, layer names, text, geometry, styles, effects, visibility, visible embedded images and vector artwork, a reference preview, and the user's import choices. VidPlate may validate, sanitise, de-duplicate, stage, optimise, convert, classify, group, flatten, approximate, or reject Imported Content as reasonably required to provide and secure the import service.

Temporary files may be uploaded directly to private cloud storage using short-lived upload authorisation. Successfully imported images, vectors, previews, drafts, and components may be stored in the authorised organisation's asset or template libraries. The Privacy Policy explains retention and deletion in more detail.

6D.3 User Rights and Responsibilities

Users retain the rights they already hold in Imported Content and grant VidPlate and its service providers the limited operational licence in section 6C.5 to host, copy, process, adapt, render, and store it as needed to carry out the import and provide the Services.

The user represents and warrants that they are authorised by the relevant account and design owner and hold all rights, licences, consents, and permissions needed to submit and process every design, image, logo, trade mark, text item, likeness, and other asset included in the selection. Users must not import confidential, restricted, unlawful, or personal data unless its use is lawful and properly authorised.

6D.4 Import Accuracy and Review

Figma and VidPlate use different layout, font, vector, masking, effect, and rendering systems. Imports are an editable starting point and are not guaranteed to be pixel-perfect, complete, error-free, or compatible with every Figma node, plugin, component, variable, font, mask, blend mode, effect, or future Figma feature. Unsupported or unusually complex content may be omitted, flattened, approximated, resized, or rejected.

Users must retain an independent copy of the original Figma file and review the imported hierarchy, text, assets, colours, editable fields, effects, dimensions, and rendered output before publishing, ordering, distributing, or relying on it. VidPlate is not responsible for loss caused by failing to review an import or by limitations or changes originating in Figma, a browser, a font, a source asset, or another Third-Party Service, except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

6D.5 Figma and VidPlate Technology

Figma is a separate Third-Party Service. VidPlate is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Figma, and cannot guarantee the availability or continued compatibility of Figma, its plugin environment, APIs, file model, policies, or review process. Use of Figma remains subject to Figma's own terms and policies.

VidPlate retains all rights in its import service, server-side conversion and rigging technology, mappings, schemas, classification methods, automation systems, algorithms, rule engines, security controls, interfaces, workflows, and improvements. Access to the plugin, an import result, error message, or API response does not grant any right to obtain, reproduce, infer, disclose, benchmark for competitive replication, or create a substitute for that technology, except to the limited extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

7. VidPlate Intellectual Property

  • 7.1 All rights in the Platform, software, trade name, trademarks, branding, logo, identity, and VidPlate-provided Templates remain the exclusive property of VidPlate.
  • All rights, title, and interest in VidPlate Studio, VidPlate Studio Pro, VidPlate Studio Render, the Desktop Render App, related scripts, render workers, automation systems, VidPlate-provided Templates, software code, workflows, and associated technology remain the exclusive property of VidPlate.
  • 7.2 Users are prohibited from copying, duplicating, reverse-engineering, testing, or creating competing products or services based on VidPlate technology, templates, or intellectual property.
  • 7.3 Standard Templates are provided for in-platform use only and may not be copied or used outside VidPlate.
  • 7.4 Custom Templates created for users upon separate fees remain the property of VidPlate. Users are granted a licence to use them while subscribed. VidPlate may re-use or adapt custom templates after subscription ends.
  • 7.5 VidPlate is entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief to prevent misuse of its intellectual property or confidential information without the need to post bond.
  • 7.6 Ownership and licensing of Builder Templates are governed by section 6C.5. For clarity, section 7.4 does not transfer to VidPlate a user's rights in original design elements that the user creates through the Template Builder.
  • 7.7 VidPlate's server-side import, conversion, rigging, classification, mapping, rendering, security, and automation methods remain VidPlate intellectual property even where a user supplies the source design or owns the resulting User Content.

8. Data & Privacy (Including GDPR)

  • 8.1 VidPlate integrates with third-party services including but not limited to Meta (Facebook, Instagram, and Meta Ads Manager), YouTube API Services, TikTok, LinkedIn, AWS, MongoDB, Stripe, OpenAI, Google AI services, ByteDance and BytePlus services including ModelArk, Seedream, and Seedance, Alibaba Cloud (Qwen), Runway, Stability AI, Adobe, and other providers that support the operation and functionality of the Platform.
  • 8.2 Performance data, publishing data, comments, replies, account identifiers, channel or profile information, post IDs, video IDs, access tokens, refresh tokens, render-machine identifiers, render job metadata, diagnostics, logs, and related metadata retrieved from these integrations or software products may be stored and processed by VidPlate to provide publishing, scheduling, analytics, reporting, comment management, rendering, optimisation, account connection, security, support, troubleshooting, and service improvement functionality.
  • 8.3 VidPlate Privacy Policy, available separately, sets out how personal data is collected, stored, and processed.
  • 8.4 VidPlate complies with applicable data protection laws, including UK GDPR and EU GDPR, and upholds data subject rights such as access, correction, deletion, and portability.
  • 8.5 VidPlate is not responsible for outages, errors, or changes in third-party APIs or services.
  • 8.6 AI Processing by Third Parties: Certain Platform features require the transmission and processing of user-submitted content by third-party AI providers. By using such features, users authorise VidPlate to transmit prompts, text, images, videos, and related content to those providers as necessary to deliver the requested services. VidPlate is not responsible for the availability, performance, outputs, decisions, policies, or operational practices of third-party AI providers. Users acknowledge that such providers may update, restrict, suspend, or discontinue their services at any time.
