Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and BountEx Labs, LLC ("BountEx Labs", "we", "us") for BountEx Motion: the command-line tool, the kits it installs, the licensed playbook content the tool fetches, the license server, and this website (together, "the service").

By subscribing, activating a license key, or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you are allowed to bind that company, and "you" means the company.

A subscription is a licence to use the service, not a sale of it. BountEx Labs, LLC and its licensors keep all rights in the kits and the playbook content that are not expressly granted below.

Subject to payment and to these terms, you get a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide licence to install and run the kits on the machines your licence covers, and to fetch the licensed playbook content while your subscription is active.

Films you produce with the workflow are yours. You may publish, broadcast, monetise, and modify them, for yourself or for clients, with no attribution requirement and no per-film fee or royalty. If you are an agency or freelancer, you may use the workflow to produce work for your clients; each subscriber still needs their own licence key for their own machines.

You may not: share, publish, sell, sublicense, rent, or lend your licence key or a device token; redistribute, resell, or republish the kits, the playbook content, or any substantial part of either; include the kit or the playbook in a product, template, course, or repository you distribute; or use the service to build a competing workflow or a substantially similar licensed library.

You may not attempt to extract the licensed playbook content from the service other than by using the documented commands for your own sessions, and you may not defeat or work around the entitlement, seat, or rate-limit checks. The client tool is instructed to keep fetched phases out of your repository, and you agree not to override that.

Where the service includes any file marked as a template or an example, you may adapt it inside your own projects. That permission does not extend to redistributing it as a product.

A licence key is issued to one subscriber. It covers 3 device seats by default. A seat belongs to a machine: the device identity is derived from the machine's hostname and platform plus a random salt generated on that machine, so it survives reinstalls.

Activating a machine that already holds a seat is a reactivation, and it does not consume another seat. Installing the tool again, upgrading Node, or moving a project does not cost a seat either.

When the seats are full, activation is refused until you free one. Sharing one key between more people than the seats allow is a breach of these terms, and it is the most common way a licence gets suspended. If that happens, we will tell you why and give you the chance to fix it.

If we detect automated abuse of the licence server, scraping of the playbook endpoints, or an attempt to circumvent rate limits, we may suspend the licence while we look into it, and we will say so.

Each kit installed into your project is a skeleton. It describes the order of the workflow, its principles, and the state it keeps, and it is yours to read and to keep.

The substance of the method — the interview procedure, the direction framework, the production prompt, the quality bar, the composition contract, and the brief template — is licensed content that is delivered to an entitled, seat-bound device on demand, in memory, for the session that requested it.

You may read and follow that content while you work. You may not write it to disk, commit it, publish it, paste it into a document, share it, or reproduce it, and neither may the AI tool you run the workflow inside. When your subscription ends, the delivery stops.

Your own project files — briefs, storyboards, critic ledgers, quality reports, sources, assets, and renders — are yours. They are not licensed content, and we do not receive them.

You are responsible for what you produce and for what you publish. Do not use the service to create or distribute unlawful content, content that infringes someone else’s rights, or material that misrepresents a real person, product, or event.

Do not use the service to send unlawful, deceptive, or harassing material, to impersonate a person or organisation, or to make claims you cannot support. The workflow refuses to invent facts and produces a human-review checklist precisely because the final claims are your responsibility.

Do not probe, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the license server, and do not use it in a way that degrades it for other subscribers.

We may suspend or end a licence that breaches this section, and we will normally tell you what triggered it.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through our payment provider, starting at $7.49/month for the founding plan while founding seats remain, and at the standard rate after that. The founding rate is held for as long as you stay continuously subscribed.

Subscriptions renew automatically each month until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from the billing portal linked in your receipt email and in the dashboard; cancelling stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for.

Prices exclude any taxes we are required to add, which are calculated at checkout. If we change the price of a plan, we will tell you before it applies to you, and you can cancel first.

If a payment fails, the licence moves to past due and the licensed content stops being delivered until it is settled. Nothing is deleted, and your project files are untouched. Refunds are governed by the separate refund policy, which gives you 14 days.

The kit improves while you are subscribed, and updates are delivered through the update command. We may add, change, or retire parts of the workflow, including whole phases, as the method develops. We will not remove a capability you rely on without saying so in the release notes for that version.

The parts of the service that run on your machine keep working on your machine. The parts that depend on our servers — entitlement checks and licensed phase delivery — need those servers to be reachable. We do not offer a service-level agreement for them.

We may suspend the service for maintenance, and we may end it. If we end the service entirely, we will give reasonable notice and, where the law requires it, a pro-rata refund of prepaid amounts.

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the output of the workflow will meet your expectations, be free of errors, or produce any particular commercial result. Output quality depends on the material you supply, the decisions you approve, and the machine and third-party tools you run it on. BountEx Motion orchestrates a build on your machine; it does not render video for you in the cloud, and it does not review your claims for you.

We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, however caused and on any theory of liability.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by our negligence.

You may end this agreement at any time by cancelling your subscription. We may suspend or end it if you materially breach these terms, if a payment is not settled after a reasonable reminder, or if we are required to by law.

When the agreement ends, your licence to fetch the licensed playbook content ends immediately, and the entitlement checks stop. The kit already installed on your machine keeps working, and the project files you created remain yours.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including licence restrictions, no warranty, limitation of liability, and governing law — survive it.

PLACEHOLDER: the governing law and venue for disputes must be filled in by counsel for the jurisdiction in which BountEx Labs, LLC operates, together with any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live. This section is deliberately unfinished rather than guessed at.

Until it is completed, please raise any dispute with us first at Telegram @bountexlabs. We will try to resolve it in good faith, and nothing in this section prevents you from exercising rights you have under the law where you live.

We may update these terms as the service changes — for example if we add a kit, change a plan, or the law changes. The date at the top of this page is the date of the current version.

For a material change we will give notice by email to the address on your subscription, or in the product, before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that date means you accept the updated terms; if you do not, you can cancel and the refund policy applies.

Questions about these terms, a refund request, or a notice: Telegram @bountexlabs. BountEx Motion is operated by BountEx Labs, LLC, a BountEx Labs company.
