Legal

Terms

Where responsibility sits, and why it is written as a cap rather than as a blanket exclusion.

Not legal advice, and not a substitute for a drafted agreement. These pages describe how the software behaves, so a lawyer drafting the real agreement can check it against what is actually built. Legal review comes before the first external customer.

Liability is capped, not excluded

A blanket 'not responsible for anything' is unenforceable in the relevant jurisdictions, and an unenforceable clause can be struck while the rest of the agreement survives, which leaves less protection than a cap would.

So: liability capped at the fees paid for the job in question; indirect, consequential, special and loss-of-profit damages excluded; no liability for customer content or for the customer's rights position; no liability for platform rejection where the deliverable met the pinned specification; and the service provided without warranty of fitness for a particular platform.

Some things cannot be disclaimed whatever the terms say: data protection duties, death or personal injury from negligence, fraud, and anything a court finds unreasonable in standard terms.

What the customer warrants

Ownership of or licence to the supplied material. Authority to have it processed. Dubbing rights for the specific territory and locale ordered, these are routinely reserved by a territory licensee, so a customer may be contractually barred from commissioning a given language.

And AI disclosure to platforms, licensees and viewers. The customer is the deployer and holds the platform relationship; the service supplies no disclosure artefact and embeds no watermark of its own.

The customer acknowledges that the audio is AI-generated, that linguistic correctness is theirs to verify, and that approving lines in a language they do not speak implies no native-language sign-off.

Translation copyright

A dub script is a derivative work with its own copyright. It is assigned to the customer. Unassigned, the service would hold a copyright inside the customer's deliverable and they could not licence the dub onward, which surfaces the moment a platform asks for a chain-of-title warranty.

The watermark asymmetry

One engine in the cleared set embeds a third-party perceptual watermark in everything it renders, and it cannot be turned off. Locales rendered on it carry that watermark; locales rendered on the others do not. A platform generative-AI questionnaire will ask, so it is recorded here rather than discovered later.
