Terms & Conditions
The agreement between you and Cinematic Workshop when you use the studio, the agent, or the renders.
01Introduction & acceptance
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of Cinematic Workshop (“the Service”, “we”, “us”), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] AB, Swedish company registration number [ORG.NR], registered office at [ADDRESS, STOCKHOLM]. Cinematic Workshop is part of the CinematicShaper franchise.
By creating an account, signing in, or using any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms and that you have authority to enter into them. If you do not accept, do not use the Service.
The Service is offered to consumers (subject to the Swedish Consumer Sales Act and the EU Consumer Rights Directive) and to businesses. Where the Terms differ between the two, the difference is noted.
02The Service
Cinematic Workshop is an AI-native production studio for novel-to-film adaptation. It comprises:
- The studio — the web application, including the manuscript editor, worldmap, bible, canvas, screenplay editor, audiobook studio and public showcase publishing.
- The agent — the in-app AI assistant and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, available on a paid subscription.
- The renders — paid generation of images, video, voice and 3D meshes through third-party AI providers, consumed from credit packs.
We may change, add, or remove features without notice. We will give reasonable advance notice for changes that materially reduce a paid feature you rely on.
03Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. If you are between 16 and 18 years old, you confirm that your legal guardian has approved your use and any paid purchase.
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secret and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@cinematicworkshop.com if you suspect unauthorised access.
One account per person. Account sharing is not permitted on paid plans.
04Subscriptions (“The agent”)
The agent is offered on a recurring monthly subscription at the price stated on the pricing page (currently USD 19/month, exclusive of VAT where applicable).
The subscription:
- renews automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled;
- can be cancelled at any time, taking effect at the end of the current paid period;
- is billed through our payment processor (Stripe), under their own terms.
Right of withdrawal (consumers within the EU): you have 14 days from the start of your subscription to withdraw without giving any reason. To exercise the right, email hello@cinematicworkshop.com. However, by activating the agent before the 14 days have passed, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that the right of withdrawal lapses for any portion of the subscription you have used.
05Credits (“The renders”)
Renders are paid through credit packs purchased in-app. One credit is approximately equal to USD 0.01. Pack pricing, included credits, and bonus amounts are stated on the pricing page.
- Credits do not expire.
- Credits are not refundable once consumed.
- Unused credits are refundable on closed accounts only at our discretion and only within 14 days of purchase.
- Credit costs per generation are stated on the pricing page and may change with notice; existing credits keep their value.
- Failed generations caused by a provider error are refunded to your credit balance automatically.
06Your content & intellectual property
You own everything you put into the Service — your manuscripts, world data, bible entries, screenplays, blueprints, prompts, voice recordings, and any other content you upload or create (“Your Content”). We claim no ownership.
To run the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, display, render, and otherwise process Your Content as needed to provide the features you use, including sending portions of Your Content to third-party AI providers for the renders you trigger. This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, except for backups retained as described in our Privacy Policy.
You confirm that you have the rights necessary to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe third-party rights.
07AI-generated output
“Output” means images, videos, audio, 3D meshes, text and other material generated by AI models through the Service.
- You own the rights to your Output to the maximum extent permitted by the underlying provider’s terms (see Section 08).
- Some providers retain rights in their model weights and may impose use restrictions; you are responsible for complying with those.
- Identical Output may be generated by other users using similar prompts. We make no exclusivity claim or guarantee.
- AI Output is provided “as is”. It may be inaccurate, biased, or unsuitable for any particular purpose. You are responsible for reviewing it before publishing.
08Third-party AI providers
The Service relies on third-party AI providers to perform renders. By triggering a render you also accept the relevant provider’s terms:
- Google Veo & Gemini — Google Terms
- Black Forest Labs (Flux) — BFL Terms
- xAI (Grok Imagine) — xAI Terms
- ElevenLabs — ElevenLabs Terms
- Meshy — Meshy Terms
- Anthropic (Claude, MCP) — Anthropic Terms
We pass through restrictions imposed by these providers (for example, prohibitions on certain content types). We are not responsible for changes in provider terms or for provider downtime.
09MCP / API access
Paid subscribers can generate bearer tokens to use the Service through the Model Context Protocol from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or other MCP-aware clients.
- Tokens are scoped to your user account and inherit the same row-level security as the web app.
- You are responsible for keeping tokens secret. We may revoke any token at any time if we detect abuse.
- API/MCP usage counts against the same subscription and credit pools as the web app.
- Bulk scraping, training third-party AI models on your project data using our infrastructure, or reselling MCP access is not permitted.
10Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- generate, store or distribute content that depicts minors in a sexual manner, real persons without consent in a sexual or defamatory manner, or content that constitutes child sexual abuse material (CSAM);
- generate content that incites violence, terrorism, or hate against a protected group;
- infringe third-party intellectual property (copyright, trademark, image rights);
- impersonate a real person without lawful basis;
- circumvent rate limits, abuse free trials with throwaway accounts, or interfere with the Service’s operation;
- reverse-engineer, decompile or scrape the Service except as permitted by mandatory law.
We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if we believe in good faith you have violated this section. Where lawful, we will report serious violations to authorities.
11Termination
You can close your account at any time from your profile or by emailing us. We may terminate or suspend access if you violate these Terms, if your subscription payment fails after retry, or if we cease offering the Service.
On termination, we will retain Your Content for 30 days in backup and then delete it, except where mandatory law requires us to keep it longer. Subscription fees already paid are not refunded except as required by Section 04.
12Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or produce results suitable for your purpose. AI providers may be unavailable from time to time.
Nothing in this section limits rights that you have as a consumer under mandatory Swedish or EU law.
13Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with the Service in any twelve-month period shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in that period and (b) EUR 100.
We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or content that an AI provider returns.
Nothing limits our liability for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law.
14Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The current version is always at this URL, with the “Last updated” date stamped. For material changes affecting paid features, we will notify subscribers by email at least 14 days in advance. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
15Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes shall be resolved before Stockholms tingsrätt (Stockholm District Court) as the court of first instance.
If you are a consumer resident in another EU/EEA country, you also retain the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules in your country of residence, and may bring proceedings in your local court.
You may also use the EU online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
