Last updated May 2026. These terms govern your use of V8-MOTION.
1.1 All V8-MOTION subscriptions are billed monthly in advance on the calendar anniversary of your initial subscription date. Usage-based charges (engine compute, talent royalties, storage overages) are billed in arrears at the close of each billing cycle.
1.2 You may cancel your subscription at any time through the Operator Studio or by contacting support. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds are issued for partial months.
1.3 V8-MOTION reserves the right to adjust pricing with 30 days written notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
1.4 Failed payment attempts will be retried for up to 14 days. If payment is not resolved, the account enters read-only mode. Production data is retained per the Retention schedule in the Privacy Policy.
2.1 All video, audio, image, and text outputs generated through your V8-MOTION account ("Productions") are owned exclusively by you, the Operator. V8-MOTION claims no ownership interest in your Productions.
2.2 V8-MOTION does not use your Productions, production data, creative briefs, or any associated metadata to train, fine-tune, or improve any machine learning model, whether proprietary or third-party.
2.3 You grant V8-MOTION a limited, non-exclusive license to process your Productions solely for the purpose of delivering the service (rendering, encoding, distribution, C2PA certification). This license terminates when your data is deleted.
2.4 You represent that you have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for all source materials you upload or reference within V8-MOTION.
3.1 Licensed talent available through the V8-MOTION talent marketplace ("CAST Talent") is subject to per-shot royalty fees as displayed at the time of production. Royalty rates are set by talent rights holders and may vary.
3.2 Royalties are calculated automatically during production and held in escrow via Stripe Connect until the shot is finalized and certified. Payouts to talent rights holders occur on a 30-day net cycle.
3.3 You must maintain documented consent records for any real-person likeness used in Productions, whether sourced through CAST or uploaded directly. V8-MOTION may audit consent records at any time.
3.4 Unauthorized use of a person's likeness without documented consent is a violation of this Agreement and the Acceptable Use Policy, and may result in immediate account suspension.
4.1 All published Productions carry a C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) manifest certifying the production chain, including engine identifiers, generation timestamps, and operator attribution.
4.2 You agree not to strip, alter, or falsify C2PA metadata from any V8-MOTION output. Tampering with provenance data is a material breach of this Agreement.
4.3 V8-MOTION maintains an internal audit chain (cryptographic hash chain) for every production event. This chain is available for inspection upon request and may be required for regulatory compliance in certain jurisdictions.
4.4 Jurisdiction-specific disclosure requirements (e.g., AI-generated content labeling laws) are applied automatically based on your distribution targets. You are responsible for ensuring your distribution settings accurately reflect your target markets.
5.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, V8-MOTION'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO V8-MOTION IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
5.2 IN NO EVENT SHALL V8-MOTION BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
5.3 V8-MOTION does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. Third-party engine availability, network conditions, and compute capacity may affect production timelines. V8-MOTION's failover systems are designed to minimize disruption but do not guarantee zero downtime.
5.4 You acknowledge that AI-generated content may contain artifacts, inconsistencies, or errors. You are responsible for reviewing all Productions before distribution.
6.1 Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time with 30 days written notice. V8-MOTION may terminate immediately for material breach, including violations of the Acceptable Use Policy.
6.2 Upon termination, you have 30 days to export your Productions, project files, and associated data through the Operator Studio or API. V8-MOTION will provide export tools for the duration of this window.
6.3 After the 30-day export window, V8-MOTION will permanently delete your Productions and project data from all active systems. Backup copies may persist for up to 90 days in accordance with our data retention schedule.
6.4 Sections 2 (Content Ownership), 5 (Limitation of Liability), and provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive the termination of this Agreement.
