Terms of use.

You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. OneShot is not designed for information covered by HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA or similar sector rules; don’t upload such information.

Keep your sign-in methods secure and your details accurate. You are responsible for activity in your account and your workspaces. Workspace owners and admins decide who is a member and what each member can do. Tessact may reclaim a name or handle that impersonates someone or is otherwise inappropriate.

• Some features spend credits, and the price is shown on the control before you spend them. Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal and keeps access until the end of the paid period.
• Purchases in the iOS app are processed by Apple. Purchases on the website are made through Polar, which acts as merchant of record: Polar sells you the plan, takes payment and handles sales tax, and its Buyer Terms (https://polar.sh/legal/checkout-buyer-terms) also apply to the purchase. Your use of OneShot stays under these terms. Prices may change, with notice before your next renewal.
• Credits have no cash value and can’t be transferred. Credits spent on work that fails are returned where the product says so. Other payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise.

• You keep ownership of the videos, images, briefs and other material you upload (“your content”). To the extent the law allows, you also own the clips, captions, looks and other output OneShot makes for you, except the media described in “Media OneShot adds to your clips”, which stays with its owners and licensors.
• You give Tessact a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, analyze, transcribe, edit, render, display and distribute your content and output, only as needed to run OneShot for you and to show what you choose to share. This includes sending it to the service providers named in the privacy policy, and sending the names of people, places and things your content mentions to search services to find photos, maps and footage for explainers and B-roll. The license ends when your content is deleted, by you or under “Storage and deletion”, except for backup copies that age out and anything others received through links you shared.
• You confirm you have every right needed to upload your content and use it this way, including permission from the people who appear in it and rights to any music, footage or other material it contains.
• Output is generated with AI. It can be inaccurate and can resemble output made for others. Explainers can name or show the wrong person, place or thing, and can get facts wrong. Review clips, captions, explainers and looks before you publish them.

OneShot can put media you didn’t upload into your clips:

• photos and maps from Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, which OneShot uses only when the file is marked public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA; pictures from websites found through Google Search or Bing, and short muted stretches of YouTube videos;
• illustrations and short video clips generated by AI, and graphics drawn by OneShot;
• sound effects from a licensed sound library, and AI-generated music.

This media isn’t your content and doesn’t belong to Tessact; it belongs to its creators and licensors. You may use it as part of the clip OneShot made, including publishing and sharing that clip, but not on its own: don’t extract a photo, map, sound or music track to use elsewhere.

Photos and maps come with a credit, which OneShot puts in the caption it suggests when you post or share the clip. When you publish a clip that shows them, publish the credit with it.

A license to reuse a picture doesn’t clear everything. Logos, brand names and flags can be protected as trademarks, and photos of real people can raise privacy and publicity rights, especially beside what someone in your video says about them. You’re responsible for how you publish and use your clips.

AI-generated images and video can look real. Some platforms and laws require you to label realistic AI-generated content when you publish it; follow those rules.

Explainers, B-roll and music are on by default. You can turn them off when you make clips.

If you think media in a clip is used without the right license or credit, email oneshot@tessact.com.

OneShot isn’t a place to keep videos long term:

• On the free plan, a video, its clips and all of its files are deleted 7 days after the video’s last run.
• On a paid plan, a video’s footage and working files are deleted 30 days after its last run. Its finished clips stay until you delete them, but from then on they can’t be tweaked and the video can’t make more clips; upload the video again to make new ones.
• If your paid plan ends, the paid-plan rules apply for 30 days after your last paid period, then the free-plan rules; clips already kept under the paid-plan rules stay.
• Unpublished look drafts are deleted 30 days after their last edit.

A video’s last run is the latest of making its clips, More clips or a tweak. Deleted content can’t be recovered, so download anything you want to keep. The privacy policy explains what is kept and for how long.

• A share link lets anyone with the link watch and download the clips you include, until you turn the link off or the clips are deleted, including under “Storage and deletion”. A link to a whole video also shows clips and tweaks you add to it later.
• When you publish a look to the community, you allow other OneShot users to view it, preview it on their own footage, and use or remix it in their videos within OneShot. You confirm you have the rights to publish it. You can remove it from the community at any time; uses made before removal are unaffected. Tessact may feature a published look, for example in OneShot’s own collection, with credit to you.
• Tessact may remove public content that is reported or that breaks these terms.

Don’t use OneShot to:

• upload content you don’t have the rights to, or that infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights;
• make or share content that is illegal, sexually exploits minors, harasses or threatens anyone, promotes violence, or misleads people about who is speaking;
• impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent an affiliation;
• remove or change the credits OneShot adds for third-party media, or use photos, footage, sounds or music OneShot added outside the clip they came with;
• present AI-generated images or video as real in a way that misleads people;
• get around credits, limits, payments or security controls, or access accounts or data that aren’t yours;
• copy, scrape, reverse engineer or resell OneShot, or use it to build a competing product;
• access OneShot by automated means other than features made for that purpose;
• upload malware, or interfere with or overload the service;
• break any law or anyone’s rights.

When you import a video from a link, you are responsible for having the right to use it, and the source platform’s terms continue to apply. OneShot uses YouTube API Services. By using OneShot, you agree to be bound by YouTube’s Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Links to third-party sites and services are there for convenience; Tessact doesn’t control them and isn’t responsible for them.

If you send ideas or feedback, Tessact may use them to improve OneShot without any obligation to you.

OneShot, including its software, design, house looks and brand, belongs to Tessact and its licensors. Under these terms you get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use OneShot. No other rights are granted.

You can stop using OneShot and delete your account at any time. Tessact may suspend or end access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect users or the service; where reasonable, notice comes first. Terms about licenses already used, amounts owed, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and disputes continue after termination.

OneShot evolves: features may be added, changed or removed. When these terms change, the date at the top is updated, and significant changes are announced in the product or by email before they take effect. Using OneShot after that means you accept the updated terms.

OneShot is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, Tessact disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and does not promise that OneShot will be uninterrupted or error-free or that output will be accurate, or that explainer media shows what it is labeled as or is licensed and credited correctly by its source. Keep your own copies of anything important; OneShot is not a backup service.

To the extent the law allows, Tessact is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Tessact’s total liability for any claim relating to OneShot is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for OneShot in the 12 months before the claim and USD 100. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

You will defend and indemnify Tessact against claims, losses and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your content, your use of OneShot, or your breach of these terms or of anyone’s rights.

If you got the OneShot iOS app from the App Store: these terms are between you and Tessact, not Apple, and Tessact, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the app’s purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation. Tessact, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection and intellectual property infringement claims. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must also follow the App Store’s usage rules. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes are resolved by the courts of India, though either side may seek urgent relief in any court with jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep any protections the law of your country gives you.

These terms and the privacy policy are the entire agreement about OneShot. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms without Tessact’s consent; Tessact may transfer them as part of a reorganization, merger or sale. Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, employment or agency relationship.
