Terms

/legal/terms

Last updated: 2026-05-04

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you ("you", "User") and Michael Sin, an independent developer trading as Vidney ("we", "us", "Vidney"), governing your access to and use of the website at vidney.ai, the related applications, APIs, and any services we make available (collectively, the "Service"). Vidney is a sole proprietorship based in Ohio, United States. For all notices under these Terms, contact support@vidney.ai.

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

  • "Account" — the user account you register with the Service.
  • "Credits" — the prepaid units used to pay for individual generations on the Service.
  • "Generation" — an image, video, or other output produced by an AI model in response to your input.
  • "User Content" — text prompts, reference images, audio, or other materials you submit.
  • "Output" — Generations produced from your User Content.
  • "Model Provider" — third-party AI model operators (including but not limited to Kuaishou (Kling), OpenAI (Sora), Google (Veo), Black Forest Labs (Flux), Midjourney, and Runway) accessed via our upstream routing partner piapi.ai.
  • "Subscription Plan" — a recurring paid plan that grants Credits and features on a monthly basis.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least sixteen (16) years old, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction (whichever is greater), to register an Account. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms. The Service is not directed to children under sixteen, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

3. Account Registration & Security

To access most features you must register an Account using Google Sign-In. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You are responsible for safeguarding access to your Account and for all activity that occurs under it. Notify us at support@vidney.ai immediately of any suspected unauthorized access. We may suspend an Account if we detect signs of compromise or fraud.

4. The Service

The Service aggregates third-party AI Model Providers behind a single workspace, single Credit balance, and single billing relationship. We do not own, train, or host the underlying models — Generations are produced by Model Providers and routed to you. Availability, quality, and behavior of any specific model depend on the Model Provider and may change without notice. We provide the Service on a commercially reasonable, best-effort basis and do not commit to any uptime, latency, or output-quality service-level agreement.

5. Credits & Billing

5.1 Credits

The Service uses a prepaid Credit system. Each Generation costs a fixed number of Credits, displayed before you submit. New Accounts receive ten (10) Credits at signup as a non-cash promotional balance. Credits do not expire while your Account remains active. Credits have no cash value, are not redeemable for currency, and are non-transferable.

5.2 Subscription Plans

Subscription Plans (currently Starter, Creator, and Studio) are not yet active and are not charging customers as of the Last Updated date. The pricing page is published for informational purposes pending the launch of paid plans. When paid plans launch, Subscription Plans will be billed in U.S. dollars (USD) and will renew automatically each billing period until you cancel; the renewal terms, refund window, and price-change notice in this Section 5 will apply at that time. The price shown at checkout will be the price you pay; applicable taxes will be added at checkout where required by law. You will be able to cancel a Subscription Plan at any time from your Account or by emailing support@vidney.ai. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; you retain access to plan features and unused Credits earned during that period.

5.3 Merchant of Record

When paid plans launch, payments will be processed by Creem.com acting as our Merchant of Record. Creem will collect and remit applicable sales tax, VAT, and GST on our behalf and will be the entity reflected on your card or bank statement. Card and bank details will be handled exclusively by Creem and its PCI-DSS compliant payment processors; Vidney never sees or stores your full payment-instrument number.

5.4 Failed Generations — automatic refund

If a Generation fails for any reason attributable to us or to a Model Provider — including model downtime, content-policy rejection by the Model Provider, network errors, or timeout — the corresponding Credits are automatically restored to your balance. No support ticket is required.

5.5 Subscription refunds

You may request a full refund of a Subscription Plan charge if both of the following are true:

  1. The refund request is submitted within fourteen (14) calendar days of the charge date; and
  2. You have used less than twenty percent (20%) of the Credits granted by that charge.

Refunds are issued to the original payment method within five (5) business days of approval. The following are not eligible for refund: (a) Credits already consumed by successful Generations; (b) requests submitted more than fourteen days after the charge; (c) charges where more than 20% of the included Credits have been consumed; (d) Credits granted as promotions or signup bonuses. To request a refund, email support@vidney.ai from the email address on the Account, with the charge date and a one-line reason.

5.6 Price changes

We may change Subscription Plan prices on at least thirty (30) days' notice by email or in-product notification. Price changes apply to renewal periods that begin after the notice period; existing prepaid periods are unaffected.

5.7 Chargebacks

Filing a payment-card chargeback for a charge that is eligible for refund under §5.4 or §5.5 without first contacting us at support@vidney.ai is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate Account termination and forfeiture of unused Credits.

6. User Content & Generated Output

6.1 Your rights

You retain all rights you have in your User Content and in your Output, subject to (a) the licensing terms of the Model Provider that produced the Output, and (b) the rights you grant us in §6.2. We do not claim ownership of your prompts or your Generations.

6.2 License to operate the Service

You grant Vidney a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your User Content and Output for the purpose of operating, securing, and improving the Service, including transmitting User Content to Model Providers, storing Output on Cloudflare R2, displaying Output back to you, and applying automated abuse detection. This license terminates when you delete the relevant content or your Account, except for backups required for legal compliance.

6.3 Model Provider terms

Each Generation is produced by a Model Provider whose own terms of use, content policies, and license terms apply to that Output (for example, commercial-use rights for Midjourney v7 outputs are governed by Midjourney's terms). You are responsible for reviewing and complying with those terms when you use Output. We summarize known commercial-use status on each model's page on a best-effort basis but do not warrant accuracy.

6.4 No training on your content

We do not use your User Content or Output to train AI models. Whether upstream Model Providers use traffic for training is governed by their own policies; we route requests through piapi.ai under enterprise agreements that opt out of training where the Model Provider supports such an opt-out. You should treat any Generation as if it may be inaccurate, offensive, or substantially similar to other outputs.

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You may not use the Service, and may not direct or permit any third party to use the Service, to generate, request, upload, transmit, or distribute content that:

  • Sexualizes minors in any form, including stylized, animated, anime, cartoon, or AI-generated depictions. We report all such content to NCMEC and applicable law-enforcement authorities.
  • Depicts non-consensual intimate imagery or sexual content of real, identifiable individuals without their explicit, verifiable consent.
  • Impersonates real people — including public figures, politicians, celebrities, or private individuals — in a deceptive, defamatory, or commercially harmful way (e.g., deepfakes intended to mislead viewers about events, statements, or endorsements that did not occur).
  • Infringes third-party intellectual property, including copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, and rights of publicity. You represent that you hold the rights, licenses, or fair-use basis for any input image, character likeness, brand logo, or copyrighted material you supply.
  • Promotes graphic violence, terrorism, self-harm, or hate speech targeting protected classes, or attempts to incite real-world harm.
  • Generates malware, phishing pages, fraudulent identification documents, or instructions for synthesizing weapons capable of mass harm.
  • Violates applicable law, including U.S. federal, state, and local law, the law of your residence, and applicable export-control or sanctions regimes (you represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of restricted parties).

We enforce this policy through a combination of automated content filters operated by us and by Model Providers, plus human review of reports. Output that we determine, in our reasonable discretion, to violate this policy may be removed without notice. Repeated or severe violations result in immediate Account termination without refund and may be reported to law enforcement.

8. AI Output — Disclaimers

Generations are produced by probabilistic models. They may be inaccurate, biased, offensive, factually wrong, or substantially similar to outputs produced for other users. You must not rely on Generations for medical, legal, financial, safety, or any other professional advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating any Generation before publishing or acting on it. We make no representation that any specific Generation is original, non-infringing of any third party's rights, or fit for any particular purpose.

9. Intellectual Property of the Service

The Service, including the website, software, design system, brand marks, documentation, and database structures, is owned by Vidney and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Except for the rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights in the Service are transferred to you. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, scrape, or create derivative works of the Service except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

10. DMCA & Copyright Complaints

If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to support@vidney.ai containing:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  2. Identification of the infringing material — the URL of the page, the Generation ID, or sufficient detail to locate it;
  3. Your contact information (name, address, email, phone);
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Counter-notices may be submitted to the same address. We may terminate the Accounts of repeat infringers.

11. Termination

You may terminate your Account at any time by contacting support@vidney.ai. We may suspend or terminate your Account, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, if a Model Provider revokes our access on your behalf, or if continued operation poses a security risk. On termination: (a) your right to use the Service ceases immediately; (b) unused prepaid Credits are forfeited unless the termination is initiated by us without cause, in which case unused Credits from your most recent paid charge are refunded pro-rata; (c) sections that by their nature should survive termination — including §5.7, §6.2 (for backups), §8, §9, §12, §13, §14, and §15 — survive.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY GENERATION WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VIDNEY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations on liability, so these limits may not apply to you in part.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vidney from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) your User Content; (b) your use of any Output, including any claim that the Output infringes third-party rights; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

For any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved by negotiation within sixty (60) days after written notice, the dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in English, with the seat in Ohio. You and Vidney each waive the right to participate in any class, collective, or representative action. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws override the foregoing, those laws apply to the extent required, and disputes may be brought in your home courts as required by law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced by email to your Account address or by a prominent in-product notice at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service and to request a refund of any unused Credits in accordance with §5.5.

17. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any order forms or specific service terms you accept constitute the entire agreement between you and Vidney regarding the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, on notice to you.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, network outages, denial-of-service attacks, or government action.
  • Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your Account; notices to us must be sent to support@vidney.ai.

18. Contact

For any question about these Terms, contact us at support@vidney.ai. We aim to respond within one (1) business day.
