TERMS OF SERVICE

CineForge Terms of Service

Effective Date: 17 August 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and CineForge Pty Ltd (ACN 701 472 737, ABN 88 701 472 737) ("CineForge," "we," "us," or "our"), which operates the CineForge AI filmmaking application and related websites, software, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, purchasing Credits, generating content, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. These Terms include an "as is" disclaimer of warranties (Section 16), a limitation of liability (Section 17), an indemnification obligation (Section 18), and a dispute-resolution, arbitration, class-action-waiver, and governing-law provision (Section 20) that affect your legal rights. Section 3 explains that Credits are generally consumed on use and are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. Sections 8 and 9 describe your obligations regarding objectionable content and the labeling of AI-generated content.

1. About the Service and Alpha Status

CineForge is a creative tool that lets you plan films and generate AI video scenes, character and asset images, and synthetic voices, using third-party artificial-intelligence providers. Generated scenes may optionally be published to a public community feed for others to browse and watch. Because outputs are produced by artificial intelligence, they may be inaccurate, unexpected, or objectionable, and they may resemble real people, works, or events without being real.

The Service is currently offered as a public alpha release. This means the Service is experimental, under active development, and may contain errors, interruptions, incomplete features, data loss, or unexpected behavior. Features (including Credits pricing, provider models, and the community feed) may change, be suspended, or be discontinued at any time without notice. We provide no service-level commitment, uptime guarantee, or support obligation during the alpha. You should not rely on the Service for any critical, commercial, or time-sensitive purpose, and you should retain independent copies of anything important to you.

2. Eligibility, Accounts, and Compliance

2.1 Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are between 13 and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. In the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), and other regions requiring a higher minimum digital-consent age, you must be at least 16 years old (or the applicable minimum age in your country). The Service is not directed to, and may not be used by, children under 13. Any feature that generates mature or adult-oriented content (see Section 7.3) is restricted to users who are 18 years or older, is disabled by default, and is subject to age-gating.

2.2 Account and identity. Authentication and identity for the Service are provided by our platform vendor, Base44. We do not maintain a self-hosted password store. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it current. Notify us promptly at support@cineforge.pro if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

2.3 One person, one account. You may not share your account, impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

2.4 Export controls and sanctions. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. or other applicable sanctions or trade embargoes; (b) you are not identified on any U.S. government or other applicable list of prohibited or restricted parties (including the U.S. Treasury OFAC lists); and (c) you will not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Service or any output in violation of applicable export-control or sanctions laws. We may suspend or terminate access to comply with such laws.

3. Credits, Payment, Refunds, Expiry, and Consumer Withdrawal Rights

3.1 Credits. Certain features of the Service consume prepaid virtual credits ("Credits"). Credits are a limited, revocable license to access generation features of the Service. Credits are sold at a rate of 100 Credits = $1.00 USD (subject to change for future purchases). Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.

3.2 Payment processor. Credit purchases are processed by Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). By purchasing Credits you also agree to Stripe's applicable terms. We do not receive or store your full payment card number; that information is handled directly by Stripe. You represent that you are authorized to use the payment method you provide.

3.3 Consumption on generation. Credits are consumed when you submit a generation request (for video, image, voice, or LLM planning features). Because generation invokes paid third-party providers, Credits are generally consumed at the time a generation job is submitted or processed, and are not automatically restored if the resulting output is unsatisfactory, low-quality, or not to your taste. Where a generation fails due to a verifiable system or provider error before any billable output is produced, we may, in our sole discretion, restore or re-credit the affected Credits.

3.4 No cash value; non-transferable. Credits have no cash value, are not a deposit, currency, stored-value instrument, gift card, or property, and cannot be redeemed for cash except where required by applicable law. Credits are non-transferable and may not be sold, gifted, exchanged, or combined between accounts.

3.5 Expiry. Credits may expire after a stated validity period or a stated period of account inactivity, but only where that period is disclosed to you at or before the time of purchase or in the Service. Where applicable law restricts or prohibits the expiry of prepaid balances or gift-card-like instruments, those legal requirements control and we will honor them. Expired Credits are forfeited without refund except where the law requires otherwise.

3.6 Refunds. Except where required by applicable law (including the consumer and distance-selling rights described in Section 3.9), Credit purchases are final and non-refundable, and once Credits have been consumed they are not refundable. If you believe you were charged in error or a technical fault caused an improper charge, contact us at support@cineforge.pro within 30 days and we will review the request in good faith. Please contact us before initiating a chargeback; chargebacks initiated without first contacting us may result in suspension or termination of your account and forfeiture of remaining Credits.

3.7 Promotional and bonus Credits. We may issue promotional, bonus, reward, or complimentary Credits (for example, through daily missions, level rewards, or promo redemptions). Such Credits may be subject to additional conditions, may expire sooner, and may be revoked if we determine they were obtained through error, abuse, or violation of these Terms. Promotional Credits are never redeemable for cash.

3.8 Price changes. We may change Credit pricing, package sizes, or the Credit cost of any feature at any time. Changes apply to purchases and generations made after the change takes effect and do not retroactively affect Credits you already hold.

3.9 EEA/UK consumer withdrawal right and express consent to immediate performance. If you are a consumer in the EEA, the UK, or another jurisdiction granting a statutory withdrawal or "cooling-off" right for distance purchases, you normally have the right to withdraw from a purchase within 14 days. However, Credits and the generation services they unlock are digital content and digital services supplied immediately. By purchasing Credits and/or submitting a generation request, you (a) expressly request and consent to the immediate commencement of performance during the withdrawal period, and (b) acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun (and, for consumable Credits, to the extent they have been consumed). Where performance has not yet begun and Credits remain unused, you retain your statutory withdrawal right for those unused Credits. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory consumer right, including remedies for defective digital content or services.

4. License to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business creative purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us and our licensors.

5. Your Content and Generated Outputs

5.1 Definitions. "Input" means the prompts, text, images, reference assets, characters, project data, and other materials you submit to the Service. "Output" means the video, image, voice, text, and other content generated by the Service in response to your Input. "User Content" means your Input and Output collectively.

5.2 Ownership of Output. As between you and us, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you own the Output you generate through the Service, subject to (a) the rights and restrictions of the underlying third-party AI providers whose models produced the Output, (b) our and third parties' rights in the Service and in pre-existing materials, and (c) these Terms. You are responsible for ensuring you have all rights necessary in your Input, including any real person's likeness, voice, name, trademark, or copyrighted material you submit or reference.

5.3 Nature of AI-generated content and IP uncertainty. You understand that AI-generated Output may not be eligible for copyright or other intellectual-property protection in some jurisdictions, that identical or similar Output may be generated for other users, and that third-party AI providers may impose their own usage terms on Output produced by their models. We make no representation or warranty that Output is original, non-infringing, or protectable, or that your use of Output will not infringe the rights of any third party. You are solely responsible for evaluating the Output's suitability and legality for your intended use.

5.4 License you grant to us to operate the Service. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, and display your User Content solely as necessary to (a) operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service; (b) transmit your Input to third-party AI providers to fulfill your generation requests; (c) detect and act on prohibited content and enforce these Terms and comply with law; and (d) perform the additional community-feed functions described in Section 6 where you choose to publish. This license is limited to the purposes of operating the Service and ends when your User Content is deleted from our active systems, except as described in Section 15 and our Privacy Policy. We do not use your Input or Output to train our own foundation models.

6. Public Community Feed and Publishing License

6.1 Opt-in publishing. You may choose to publish a completed generated scene to the public community feed, where it becomes viewable by other users and, potentially, the general public. Publishing is optional and within your control.

6.2 License you grant for published content. When you publish User Content to the community feed, you grant us and other users of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical display, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and stream that published content within and in connection with the Service, including for the purpose of operating, promoting, and demonstrating the community feed and the Service. Other users may view, stream, and (where features such as voting, sharing, or playlists are enabled) interact with your published content within the Service.

6.3 Your representations for published content. By publishing, you represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to the content, that the content does not infringe or violate any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, that any real person depicted or voiced has consented, and that the content complies with the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 7 and the labeling requirements in Section 9.

6.4 Removal and unpublishing. You may unpublish your content from the community feed, and we may remove any published content at any time, with or without notice, at our discretion, including for violation of these Terms. Removal from the public feed may not immediately purge cached copies, and content already viewed, shared, or downloaded by others may persist outside our control.

6.5 No obligation to display. We do not guarantee that any content you publish will be displayed, ranked, retained, or made available, and we may curate, moderate, filter, or reorder the feed at our discretion.

7. Acceptable Use Policy and Prohibited Content

You agree not to use the Service, and not to generate, upload, publish, or distribute any Input or Output, that:

7.1 Illegal and exploitative content — zero tolerance.

  • Depicts, promotes, solicits, or facilitates child sexual abuse material ("CSAM") or any sexualized depiction of minors, whether real, AI-generated, cartoon, fictional, or otherwise. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for CSAM. We will remove such content, terminate the responsible account, preserve relevant data, and report violations to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children ("NCMEC") and/or applicable law-enforcement authorities as required or permitted by law.
  • Exploits, endangers, or sexualizes any person under the age of 18.
  • Constitutes non-consensual intimate imagery, "revenge porn," or content that sexualizes a real, identifiable person without their consent.

7.2 Other prohibited content and conduct. You may not generate, publish, or distribute content that:

  • Is unlawful, or promotes, facilitates, or provides instructions for illegal activity, terrorism, violent extremism, human trafficking, or the manufacture or acquisition of weapons or illegal drugs.
  • Depicts or incites real-world violence, self-harm, or cruelty, or that harasses, bullies, threatens, defames, or targets any individual or group.
  • Constitutes hate speech or promotes discrimination, denigration, or violence based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or other protected characteristic.
  • Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other intellectual-property or proprietary right, including generating deepfakes or synthetic likenesses/voices of real people without their consent, or impersonating real individuals.
  • Is deceptive, fraudulent, or intended to mislead, including disinformation, scams, phishing, election manipulation, or synthetic media presented as authentic without the disclosure required by Section 9 or by applicable law.
  • Contains malware, or attempts to interfere with, disrupt, probe, reverse engineer, scrape, or circumvent the security, access controls, rate limits, row-level security, service-role controls, or Credit metering of the Service.
  • Violates the usage policies or terms of any third-party AI provider or distribution platform described in Sections 12 and 21.

7.3 Mature content. The Service may permit the generation of certain mature or adult-oriented themes where and to the extent expressly enabled, but only where such content (a) involves solely consenting adults (18+), (b) complies with all provisions of this Section 7 and applicable law, (c) complies with the content policies of the relevant third-party providers, and (d) complies with the requirements of any app store or distribution platform through which you access the Service. Any mature content that is enabled is subject to age-gating, labeling, and restrictions we may impose, is disabled by default, and will not be made available in any form prohibited by an app store on builds distributed through that store. Nothing in this Section permits any content prohibited under Section 7.1 or 7.2.

7.4 App-store compliance. Where you access the Service through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another distribution platform, you must also comply with that platform's content and conduct policies, which may be more restrictive than these Terms.

7.5 Enforcement. We may, at our sole discretion and without liability, use automated and human review to monitor, filter, refuse, remove, or restrict content; suspend or terminate accounts; withhold or revoke Credits obtained through prohibited use; and take any action we deem appropriate to protect users, third parties, and the Service. We are not obligated to monitor content but may do so.

8. Community Safety: Reporting, Blocking, and Objectionable-Content Response

To keep the community feed safe, and as a condition of offering user-generated and user-published content, we maintain the following controls, which you agree to use responsibly:

8.1 Filtering. We apply automated and/or human moderation intended to filter objectionable material before or after it appears on the community feed. No filtering is perfect, and objectionable content may still appear.

8.2 Reporting. You can report or flag content you believe violates these Terms using the in-Service reporting controls or by emailing support@cineforge.pro. Reports should identify the content and the reason for the report.

8.3 Action on reports. We will review reports and, for content that violates Section 7, we will act to remove the offending content and, where warranted, suspend or eject the responsible user. For egregious violations (including CSAM, credible threats, or other content posing a safety risk), we aim to remove the content and act on the responsible account within 24 hours of becoming aware of it.

8.4 Blocking users. You may block other users so that you no longer see their published content or interactions, using in-Service controls where available.

8.5 No abusive reporting. You may not misuse the reporting tools to harass others or submit knowingly false reports.

8.6 Published contact. Our contact point for content, safety, and abuse matters is support@cineforge.pro.

9. AI Transparency and Labeling of Synthetic Content

9.1 Content is AI-generated. Output is created by artificial intelligence. Where required by applicable law — including Article 50 of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and comparable transparency or synthetic-media laws — providers and users of AI systems must disclose that content has been artificially generated or manipulated, and must label "deepfake" content that resembles real persons, objects, places, or events. These obligations can apply even where there is no intent to deceive.

9.2 Your labeling obligations. If you publish, distribute, or share Output outside the Service — or through the community feed — you are responsible for providing any AI-generated/manipulated disclosure or deepfake label required by the laws that apply to you and your audience. You must not remove, alter, or obscure any AI-content marking, watermark, or metadata applied by us or by a third-party provider.

9.3 Our measures. We may apply, and permit third-party providers to apply, visible labels, disclosures, watermarks, provenance signals, or metadata (for example, C2PA-style content credentials) to Output to indicate that it is AI-generated. You consent to these measures.

10. Intellectual Property in the Service

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, trademarks, and all related intellectual property, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by law. Except for the limited licenses granted in these Terms, nothing grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of any part of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

11. Feedback

If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback about the Service ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, modify, and exploit that Feedback for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation. Feedback is provided voluntarily and is not confidential.

12. Third-Party AI Providers and Services

12.1 Reliance on third parties. The Service depends on third-party providers to deliver its core functionality, including:

  • BytePlus (Seedance 2.0) — AI video generation;
  • OpenAI — AI image generation;
  • Google — AI image generation ("Nano Banana");
  • ElevenLabs — AI voice generation;
  • Anthropic (Claude) — LLM-based film planning and assistance;
  • Stripe — payment processing;
  • Base44 — application hosting, authentication, and data storage.

12.2 Input transmitted to providers. To fulfill your generation requests, your Input is transmitted to the relevant AI provider(s). Your use of these features is also subject to those providers' terms and policies. You are responsible for ensuring your Input and intended use comply with them.

12.3 No control over providers. We do not control third-party providers and are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, performance, model behavior, pricing changes, content policies, or discontinuation of service. Provider outages, changes, or restrictions may degrade, interrupt, or disable Service features without notice or liability to us.

13. User Conduct

You agree to use the Service in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. You will not: (a) use the Service to violate the rights of others; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data (including data protected by row-level security or service-role controls); (c) use bots, scrapers, or automated means to access the Service except through interfaces we authorize; (d) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or Credits except as expressly permitted; (e) overload, disrupt, or impair the Service; or (f) circumvent Credit metering, usage limits, age-gating, or content moderation.

14. DMCA and Copyright Takedown

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and comparable laws.

14.1 Notices. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to support@cineforge.pro including: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

14.2 Counter-notices. If your content was removed and you believe it was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice with the corresponding information required by the DMCA.

14.3 Repeat infringers. We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

15. Termination and Account Deletion

15.1 Termination by you. You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time by using in-Service controls (where available) or contacting us at support@cineforge.pro.

15.2 Effect of deletion on Credits. If you delete your account or we terminate it for your violation of these Terms, any remaining Credits are forfeited without refund, except where a refund is required by applicable law.

15.3 Termination or suspension by us. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service or any feature, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure for us or others, or engaged in prohibited or abusive conduct, or if we discontinue the Service. For serious violations (including Section 7.1), termination may be immediate.

15.4 Effect of termination. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases. Sections that by their nature should survive — including Sections 3.4–3.6, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22 — survive termination. Deletion and retention of your data following termination are handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Disclaimers; No Warranty

16.1 "As is." THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL OUTPUT AND ALL CONTENT ON THE COMMUNITY FEED, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR LICENSORS AND PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

16.2 AI-generated content. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OUTPUT IS GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OFFENSIVE, BIASED, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE, AND MAY NOT REFLECT REAL PEOPLE, EVENTS, OR FACTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, ORIGINALITY, LEGALITY, OR SUITABILITY OF ANY OUTPUT. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING, VERIFYING, AND DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF ANY OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON OR PUBLISHING IT.

16.3 Availability. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. THIS IS AN ALPHA SERVICE (SECTION 1).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion of implied statutory guarantees to consumers, so some of the above may not apply to you, and nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable statutory warranty or guarantee.

17. Limitation of Liability

17.1 Exclusion of certain damages. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CineForge Pty Ltd (ACN 701 472 737, ABN 88 701 472 737), ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS LICENSORS, PROVIDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

17.2 Liability cap. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR CREDITS IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

17.3 Basis of the bargain. These limitations apply to all claims, whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, and are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and us. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, and nothing in this Section limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law; in such cases our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

18. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CineForge Pty Ltd (ACN 701 472 737, ABN 88 701 472 737) and its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and providers, from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Input, Output, or other User Content, including content you publish to the community feed; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights; or (e) your violation of any third-party AI provider's or distribution platform's terms. We may assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you will cooperate with us. This Section does not require indemnification to the extent prohibited by applicable law (including for consumers where such an obligation would be unenforceable).

19. Data, Privacy, and Retention

Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and describes what data we collect, how we use it, the third parties with whom we share it, retention periods, and your rights. By using the Service, you acknowledge the collection, use, sharing, and retention of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

20.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.

20.2 Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at support@cineforge.pro and attempt to resolve the dispute informally in good faith for at least 30 days.

20.3 Venue. Subject to Section 20.4 and to any non-waivable rights you have as a consumer, you and we agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute not otherwise resolved will be the courts located in Queensland, Australia, and you and we consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you are a consumer, you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in, and have the protection of the mandatory laws of, your country of residence.

20.4 Arbitration and class-action waiver (where enforceable). Where permitted and enforceable under applicable law, any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, and you and we waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. This Section 20.4 does not apply where prohibited by law (including for consumers where such waivers are unenforceable), and does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief for intellectual-property infringement or unauthorized access in a court of competent jurisdiction. If any portion of this Section 20.4 is found unenforceable, the remainder of Section 20 continues to apply.

20.5 Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or related to the Service must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred. This limit does not apply where a longer period is required by non-waivable law.

21. Apple and Google App-Store Terms

If you download or use the Service through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the following additional terms apply and, in case of conflict with the rest of these Terms as to the store app, control:

21.1 Acknowledgment. These Terms are between you and CineForge Pty Ltd (ACN 701 472 737, ABN 88 701 472 737) only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple") or Google LLC ("Google"). We, not Apple or Google, are solely responsible for the Service and its content.

21.2 Scope of license. The license granted to you for the app is a non-transferable license to use the app on any device that you own or control, as permitted by the applicable store's usage rules.

21.3 Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app. Apple and Google have no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support.

21.4 Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any) for the app; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.

21.5 Product claims. We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app or your use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection or privacy claims.

21.6 Intellectual-property claims. We, not Apple or Google, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights.

21.7 Legal compliance. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist-supporting," and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

21.8 Third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge that Apple and Google, and their subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they relate to your license of the app, and that each may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

22. General Terms

22.1 Changes to these Terms. We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" and provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting in the Service or by email). Changes are effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

22.2 Changes to the Service. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service, including features, models, providers, and Credit mechanics, at any time.

22.3 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

22.4 Entire agreement; severability; waiver. These Terms and the documents incorporated by reference are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver.

22.5 Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including provider outages, network failures, or acts of God.

22.6 Electronic communications and notices. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including by email or by postings within the Service, and you agree that these satisfy any legal requirement that communications be in writing. We may provide notices to you via the Service or by email. You may contact us at support@cineforge.pro.

22.7 Notice for California residents.
