Terms of Service | VideoBro

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the VideoBro iOS application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Storming The Castle LLC ("VideoBro", "we", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use VideoBro. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and agrees to be bound by them on your behalf.

2. Your account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
You may delete your account at any time from the in-app Profile screen, subject to the 30-day grace period described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Your content

You retain ownership of the videos and other content you upload ("User Content"). By uploading User Content, you grant VideoBro a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transcode, transmit, and display the User Content solely as needed to operate and provide the Service to you and to the collaborators you invite. This license ends once the deletion of that User Content or your account becomes permanent. See our Privacy Policy's Data Retention section for the account-deletion grace period, the content-retention period for lapsed Pro subscribers, and exactly what does and doesn't survive afterward.

You represent and warrant that you own, or hold all rights, licenses, and consents necessary, to upload and share your User Content and to grant the license above, including copyright in the footage itself, and, for any recognizable person who appears in it, that person's consent to be filmed and shared through the Service where consent is legally required. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless VideoBro from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, a breach of this representation, or your violation of these Terms or of someone else's rights.

VideoBro is not a backup service. We are not a substitute for keeping your own copies of your videos, and we cannot guarantee that content you upload will always be available or recoverable. Uploading, transcoding, and the "Develop" process are automated and, like any software, can occasionally fail, be delayed, or in rare cases lose data despite our best efforts. Please keep your own original files for anything irreplaceable.

4. Shared tapes and collaborators

A tape can be shared with up to 8 people total, including whoever created it, on every plan. Once a tape has more than one person on it, the following applies:

Any clip you upload to a shared tape is stored as part of that tape and is visible to every other member of it, including members who join after your clip was added.
Any member with a VideoBro account can develop a shared tape into a finished film, not only the person who created it. Someone who joined by invite without creating an account can film into the tape and watch the finished film, but cannot develop, invite, share, or download.
If you leave a tape, or are removed from it, you keep any film that was already developed while you were on it, even after you leave. If you are still on the tape, the person who created it can reopen it for more editing within 30 days of developing, which takes the finished film back out of everyone's Cabinet and stops any share links to it working; a new film replaces it when they develop again.
If the tape's owner deletes their VideoBro account, the working tape and its raw clips are deleted, including clips other members uploaded, since a shared tape's working life is tied to its owner's account. A film already developed from that tape is not affected by this: it stays available to everyone who already holds it, for as long as at least one of them does.
If a member other than the owner deletes their account, only that member's own clips and their membership are removed from tapes they were collaborating on. The tape and everyone else's clips stay. Their access to any film they were part of is removed, but the film itself stays available to everyone else who already holds it.

See our Privacy Policy's "Sharing with the people you invite" section for what sharing a tape or a film means once someone else can see it.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

upload content you do not have the rights to share, including copyrighted material you do not own and content that depicts other people without their consent where such consent is required;
upload content that is unlawful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, sexually explicit involving minors, or that incites violence;
attempt to access another user's account or data without authorization;
interfere with the operation of the Service, including by reverse-engineering, scraping, or attempting to bypass rate limits or storage quotas;
use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications.

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms and to suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly do so. See Section 6 for how to report content or accounts.

6. Copyright and abuse reports

If you believe content on VideoBro infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@watchvideobro.com that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed; (3) identification of the material you claim is infringing and where it appears in the Service; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

On receiving a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the person who uploaded it, and give them an opportunity to submit a counter-notice. We may terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers.

To report content or behavior that violates these Terms for any other reason, email support@watchvideobro.com with what you're reporting and, where relevant, the tape or account involved.

7. Subscriptions and payments

VideoBro may offer paid plans through Apple's App Store. If you purchase a subscription, it will auto-renew until cancelled; cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are handled by Apple per Apple's standard refund policy.

VideoBro does not currently offer a free trial. If a free trial is offered in the future, eligibility will be determined by Apple's rules.

8. Plan limits

The free tier includes 2 GB of total storage. A few product-wide rules apply on every plan, free or paid: up to 8 people per tape including you, and up to 2 hours of footage per tape. You can keep several tapes in progress at once. Storage is the constraint you will actually notice when creating a tape. Developing is included on every plan, with no monthly limit on how many times you develop; it can be refused if the tape owner is out of storage, or if the tape is over the 2-hour footage limit. We may adjust these limits with notice.

If you join a tape by invite without creating an account, the clips you add belong to that tape and stay with it. You cannot start your own tape without an account, so there is no guest-owned content for us to clear. Once you create a free account, your content is subject to the retention rules described in our Privacy Policy's Data Retention section.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VideoBro will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability under these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or US$50, whichever is greater.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we are required to do so by law. On termination, the license you grant under Section 3 continues to apply only to the extent, and for the limited time, described in our Privacy Policy's Data Retention section.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The exclusive venue for disputes is the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, except where prohibited by law in your jurisdiction.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always at /terms. Material changes will be announced in-app or via email. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance.
