1. Agreement
SwiftDub (the “Service”) is operated by FilePorts (“FilePorts”, “we”, “us”). These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and FilePorts. They cover the SwiftDub website, the dubbing studio, our APIs, and everything we provide with them.
You accept these Terms when you tick the acceptance box and continue, create an account, sign in, or use the Service in any way. If you use the Service for a company or another person, you confirm you have authority to bind them, and “you” includes them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
These Terms include our Privacy Policy and any plan, pricing or policy page we link from the Service. If they conflict with a more specific notice shown inside the Service for a feature, the more specific notice controls for that feature.
2. The Service and AI output
SwiftDub transcribes speech, translates text and generates synthetic speech from audio and video that you provide. Parts run in your browser; parts run on our servers and on cloud and AI providers we engage (see Section 12). We may add, change, limit or remove features, languages, voices, limits or integrations at any time, and we may run the Service on different infrastructure from time to time.
Output is machine-generated. Transcripts, translations and synthetic voices can be inaccurate, incomplete, awkward, offensive or unsuitable, and quality varies by language, audio quality and content. Output may resemble output given to other people. You are responsible for reviewing all output before you rely on it or publish it, and for deciding whether it is fit for your purpose. Nothing the Service produces is legal, medical, financial or other professional advice.
The Service is not designed for emergency, safety-critical or high-risk uses, and you must not use it for them.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and able to form a binding contract. If you are younger, a parent or legal guardian must accept these Terms for you and supervise all use. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so by law, or if we have previously suspended or terminated your access. You may not use the Service in violation of export controls or sanctions laws (Section 20).
4. Your account
You sign in with Google or with an email address and password. Give us accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure; tell us promptly at the address in Section 21 if you suspect unauthorised use. We are not liable for losses caused by someone using your account, unless caused by our breach of these Terms.
One person per account. Do not share, sell, rent or transfer an account, and do not create accounts to get around limits, quotas, bans or the price of a plan. We may refuse, suspend, merge or reclaim accounts and usernames (for example, ones that impersonate others or abuse the Service).
5. Your content
Ownership. You keep all rights you have in the audio, video, text and other material you upload or enter (“Your Content”) and in the transcripts, translations and audio the Service generates from it for you (“Output”), subject to the rights of third parties in the underlying material and to Sections 6 and 7. We do not claim ownership of Your Content or Output.
Licence to us. You grant FilePorts and the providers that help us run the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, transmit, transcribe, translate and synthesise Your Content solely to provide the Service to you, to keep it secure, to prevent abuse, and to comply with law. We do not claim any right to use Your Content for any other purpose.
Retention. Files processed on our servers are intended to be deleted automatically within 24 hours. Projects you save live in your own browser’s storage; clearing that storage deletes them, and we cannot recover them for you. Deletion on third-party systems follows those providers’ own schedules. We may keep limited records (such as logs and billing records) as described in the Privacy Policy, and we may preserve or disclose content where required by law or to protect people, the Service or our rights.
Your promises. You confirm that (a) you own Your Content or have every right, licence, consent and permission needed to upload it and to have it processed, translated, re-voiced and published as you intend, including rights in any music, performance, voice, likeness or personal information it contains; (b) Your Content and your use of Output do not and will not infringe or violate any law or third-party right; and (c) you will not publish Output in a way that violates these Terms or the rules of any platform you publish on.
No review. We do not monitor or pre-screen Your Content and are not responsible for it or for what you do with Output. We may, but are not obliged to, review, remove or restrict content or access where we reasonably believe these Terms or the law are at risk.
6. Voices, likeness and consent
The Service can generate speech that imitates the voice of a person captured in the audio you provide. That power comes with strict rules. You may clone, imitate or re-voice a person only if that person (or, for a minor, their legal guardian) has given you clear, informed consent for the specific use you intend — or you are otherwise lawfully entitled to do so, for example because it is your own voice. You must keep reasonable records of that consent and show them to us on request.
You must not use the Service to:
- impersonate any person, or create output that could reasonably be mistaken for a real person’s statement, endorsement or authentic recording, in order to deceive;
- defraud, scam, harass, defame or threaten anyone, or to manipulate elections, public debate or financial markets;
- create sexual or intimate content depicting a real person without their consent, or any sexual content involving a minor (which we report to authorities);
- capture or clone the voice of a minor without a guardian’s consent.
Where the law or a platform’s policy requires you to disclose that content is synthetic or altered, you are responsible for making that disclosure. We may add disclosures, markers or watermarks to output at any time and you must not remove them where the law requires them.
7. Acceptable use
You are solely responsible for your conduct and for everything you upload, generate and publish. You agree not to, and not to help or allow anyone else to:
- break the law — including fraud, harassment, defamation, hate speech, incitement, extremist or terrorist content, human exploitation, or distribution of illegal content or controlled goods;
- infringe rights — copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or any other right, including by uploading media you do not own or have permission to use;
- harm minors — in any way;
- attack or abuse the Service — probe, scan, overload, scrape, or interfere with it; use it through automated means other than the app we provide; circumvent quotas, rate limits, authentication, safety or technical measures; reverse engineer, decompile or extract models or source code except where the law forbids this restriction; or introduce malware;
- resell or white-label the Service, or use output or the Service to build or train a competing product or any machine-learning model;
- misrepresent — yourself, your rights, or the origin of generated content; or
- violate others’ rules — including the rules of any platform where you publish output.
We may investigate suspected violations, remove content, throttle or block requests, suspend or terminate accounts, and report unlawful activity to authorities, with or without notice where we consider it necessary.
8. Copyright complaints
We respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with applicable law, including the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Send a notice through the contact form with: your contact details; a description of the work; where the material is (the information we need to find it); a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorised to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. Because files are deleted from our servers automatically, we may be unable to act on material that is no longer there. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. Knowingly false notices may expose you to liability.
9. Our rights
The Service — including its software, models and configuration, design, text, graphics, names, logos and trademarks — belongs to FilePorts and its licensors and is protected by law. Subject to these Terms we give you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose. We reserve every right we do not expressly grant. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you give us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without obligation to you. The Service includes open-source and third-party components that are governed by their own licences.
10. Plans and limits
The Service is offered in plans (for example Free, Premium and Pro). Each plan has limits — such as the longest video you can dub, how much speech you can generate per day and per month, and which features are included — shown on our pricing page or inside the app. Limits count usage when work is requested, whether or not you use the result, and unused allowance does not carry over. Longer projects can be generated across several days: where a plan has a daily limit, your project is saved so you can resume it when the limit resets, subject to the plan’s monthly limit. We may change plans, limits and features, and may apply fair-use or abuse-prevention controls at any time.
11. Billing and cancellation
- Subscriptions renew automatically. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions. By subscribing you authorise us, through our payment processor (Stripe), to charge the plan price plus any applicable taxes now and at the start of each billing month until you cancel. Prices are shown before checkout.
- Cancellation takes effect at the start of the next month. You can cancel at any time from your account. Your paid plan stays active through the month you have already paid for; the cancellation takes effect when the next month begins, and you will not be charged again. You can resubscribe at any time.
- No refunds. Except where the law requires otherwise, fees are non-refundable. We do not give refunds or credits for partial months, unused time, unused allowance, lost files, or because Output did not meet your expectations — including when we suspend or terminate your account for violating these Terms.
- Price and plan changes. We may change prices or plan terms. For subscribers, a change takes effect from the next billing month after we give notice in the app or by email, and you may cancel before it applies. Continued use after it takes effect means you accept it.
- Failed or disputed payments. If a payment fails or is reversed, we may suspend paid features until it is resolved. Please contact us before filing a chargeback; improper chargebacks may lead to suspension and recovery of our reasonable costs.
- Taxes. Prices exclude taxes unless stated. You are responsible for any taxes, duties or fees that apply to your purchase, other than taxes on our income.
- Payment details. Card details are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number. Stripe’s terms also apply to your payment.
12. Third-party services
The Service relies on third parties, including identity (Google), payments (Stripe), hosting and delivery (Cloudflare), compute and storage (cloud providers) and AI model providers used to translate text and to produce speech. Parts of Your Content (for example the text to be translated, or audio to be transcribed or voiced) are sent to those providers solely to provide the Service. We choose providers carefully, but we do not control them, and they may be unavailable, change, or make errors. We are not responsible for third-party services, sites or content, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
13. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time (and cancel any subscription under Section 11). We may suspend, restrict or end your access, or remove content, at any time and for any reason, including if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or the law, created risk or exposure for us or others, failed to pay, or if we change or discontinue the Service. Where practical we will tell you why. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except where required by law. Everything that by its nature should survive does, including Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 14 to 21.
14. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all output are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service or any output will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, accurate, complete or suitable for your purposes, that defects will be corrected, that content will be preserved, or that results will be consistent across languages or over time. You use the Service at your own risk.
Some places do not allow certain disclaimers; in those places the disclaimers apply to the fullest extent allowed.
15. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FilePorts and its owners, operators, employees, suppliers and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill or reputation, arising out of or relating to the Service, your content, output, or these Terms, however caused and on any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) US $100 and (b) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
The limits in this Section apply to the fullest extent the law allows and do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where the law forbids excluding it. You and we agree that these limits are a fair allocation of risk reflected in the price of the Service.
16. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless FilePorts and its owners, operators, employees, suppliers and licensors from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: Your Content; output you generate, use or publish; any voice, likeness or other right of a person or entity connected to Your Content or output (including consent, copyright, privacy and right-of-publicity claims); your use of the Service; your breach of these Terms; or your violation of law or of any third party’s rights. We may take control of the defence of a matter at our expense, and you will cooperate; you may not settle a claim that imposes obligations on us without our written consent.
17. Disputes, arbitration and class-action waiver
Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to go to court.
- Talk to us first. For any dispute, claim or controversy relating to the Service or these Terms (a “Dispute”), write to us through the contact form with a description of the problem and what you want. We will try in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days before either of us starts a formal proceeding.
- Binding individual arbitration. If a Dispute is not resolved, you and FilePorts agree to resolve it only by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for business users, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) then in effect, as modified by this Section. The arbitrator decides all questions about whether a Dispute is covered, including scope, validity and enforceability, except that a court decides the validity of the class-action waiver. Hearings, if any, will be held remotely or in a location reasonably convenient to you; the seat of arbitration is Delaware, USA. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section.
- No class or collective actions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, all claims must be brought only in your individual capacity — not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, representative or private-attorney-general action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or award relief to anyone other than the party in the arbitration. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim (and only that claim) must be litigated in court rather than arbitrated, and stayed until the other claims are finished.
- You waive a jury trial to the extent permitted by law, for any Dispute that ends up in court.
- Exceptions. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either of us may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, or unauthorised access to the Service.
- Opt out within 30 days. You may opt out of arbitration and the class-action waiver by writing to us through the contact form within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, with the subject “Arbitration opt-out”, your name and the email address of your account. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
- Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any Dispute must be started within one (1) year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.
- Mass filings. If 25 or more similar claims are brought against us by the same representatives, they will be processed in staged batches of up to 10 at a time, and the arbitration fees due for the rest wait until their turn; a court may enforce this term.
- Disputes that are not arbitrated. Any Dispute that is not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
If you are a consumer in a place whose law forbids any of the waivers or restrictions in this Section, that part applies only to the extent your law allows, and the rest remains in force. These Terms do not limit non-waivable statutory consumer rights.
18. Governing law
These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Where mandatory consumer law of your country gives you protections that cannot be waived, those protections continue to apply.
19. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. The version and effective date at the top change when we do. For material changes we will give reasonable notice in the app or by email, and we may ask you to accept the new version before your next paid action. Changes apply going forward. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept it. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel any plan before the change takes effect.
20. General terms
- Export and sanctions. You may not use or export the Service in violation of U.S. or other applicable export-control and sanctions laws, and you confirm you are not on a restricted-party list or located in an embargoed jurisdiction.
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and replace all earlier statements about it.
- Severability and waiver. If a provision is held unenforceable, it is enforced to the maximum extent allowed and the rest remains in force. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them, including in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Any attempted assignment in breach of this clause is void.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of internet, cloud or AI providers, power or network failures, labour disputes, natural disasters, war, terrorism, and government action.
- Notices. We may give notice in the app, by email to your account address, or by posting on this page. Electronic notices and electronic acceptance of these Terms are valid and binding.
- No third-party beneficiaries; relationship. Except for the indemnified parties and our suppliers, no one else may enforce these Terms. You and we are independent contractors; nothing creates a partnership, agency or employment.
- Language. The English version controls over any translation.
