Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and NeedThat Studio, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Mimic," "we," "us"). They cover the Mimic iPhone app and the Mimic website and web app (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

If you use the iPhone app, this agreement is between you and NeedThat Studio, LLC only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.

1. What Mimic does

Mimic is a video editing tool. You choose a style (a built-in one, or a video you import as a reference), add your own footage, and Mimic uses automated and AI tools to cut, caption and render a video you can edit further and export. Results vary with your footage, and automated output can contain mistakes, including in transcribed captions. Review your video before you publish it.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live (or have a parent or guardian agree to these Terms for you). You are responsible for your account and everything done with it, and for keeping access to your email secure.

3. Your content

You keep ownership of the videos, audio, images and text you upload, record or create ("Your Content"). You give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content only to provide the Service to you (and, for team content, to your team). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep by law.

You promise that you own Your Content or have every permission needed to use it, including from anyone who appears in it. Only import videos you own or have permission to use. Importing a reference to learn its style does not give you any right to copy its footage, music, or other protected material, and Mimic does not reuse a reference's footage in your video.

4. Acceptable use

Don't use the Service to create or share content that is illegal, infringes anyone's rights, deceives people about who is speaking, sexualizes minors, harasses or threatens anyone, or promotes violence. Don't try to break, overload, scrape, or reverse engineer the Service, get around plan limits, or access other people's content. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules. Report abuse to support@trymimic.app.

5. Teams

A team owner can invite members, share styles and footage with them, and remove members. Content you share with a team can be used by its members to make their own videos. The owner is responsible for the team's use of shared content.

6. Subscriptions, billing and auto-renewal

• Plans. Paid plans give you a number of new videos per calendar month, shown at checkout. Unused videos don't roll over. Plan features and limits are described at purchase.
• Payment. On the web, you pay through Stripe; on iPhone, through your Apple ID. You authorize us (or Apple) to charge the price shown, plus any tax, when you subscribe and at each renewal.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. If we change the price, we will tell you in advance and the new price applies from your next renewal.
• Cancelling. Cancel a web subscription any time in Settings → Manage subscription; cancel an iPhone subscription in your Apple ID settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
• Free trials. If a trial is offered, the length and the date of the first charge are shown before you subscribe. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
• Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise. Refunds for iPhone purchases are handled by Apple under its policies. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at support@trymimic.app.

7. AI features

Some features rely on third-party AI providers (see the Privacy Policy). AI output may be inaccurate or unexpected; you are responsible for what you publish.

8. Our property

The Service, including its software, design, built-in styles, fonts we license and sound effects, belongs to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Service under these Terms. Videos you export with built-in styles and sounds may be used for personal and commercial purposes.

9. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send us a notice to support@trymimic.app with: your contact details, the work, where the content is, a statement of good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and your signature. We may remove the content and terminate repeat infringers' accounts.

10. Ending your use

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or to protect the Service or others. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, liability limits and disputes) survive.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't promise the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any video will get views or results.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US$50.

Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have as a consumer that can't be waived.

13. Indemnity

You agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from claims arising out of Your Content or your breach of these Terms.

14. Disputes and governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. Courts located in Delaware have jurisdiction, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new Terms.
