Term means the period during which the Customer has an active subscription, subject to earlier termination in accordance with these Terms.
In these Terms:
The Supplier provides text-to-animation generation services for Unreal Engine, powered by the NVIDIA Kimodo AI model. The Services consist of:
(a) the Plugin, distributed free of charge via the FAB marketplace;
(b) the Cloud Generation Service, accessible via the Plugin and API using Credits; and
(c) the Platform, providing account management, credit balance tracking, and subscription management.
The Plugin also supports Local Mode, in which the Customer operates their own instance of the Kimodo model. Local Mode is provided free of charge and does not consume Credits or require a paid subscription. The Supplier does not operate or support the Customer's local Kimodo instance; Local Mode is provided on an "as is" basis. The Customer is solely responsible for installing and maintaining their local Kimodo environment in accordance with NVIDIA's documentation.
A Contract is formed when the Customer creates an Account and accepts these Terms. By creating an Account or using the Services, the Customer agrees to be bound by these Terms.
The Supplier may update these Terms from time to time. Any changes will become effective when a revised version is published at kimodo.animotive.com/terms. The Supplier will notify the Customer of material changes by email. Continued use of the Services after notification constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If the Customer does not agree to any changes, they must stop using the Services and may terminate their Account in accordance with clause 6.
The Supplier reserves the right to modify the Services to comply with applicable law, to improve functionality, or to reflect changes to the underlying Kimodo model or third-party dependencies, provided that such modifications do not materially degrade the core functionality of the Services.
The Services are available to individuals aged 13 or over, and to companies and other legal entities. By creating an Account, the Customer warrants that they are at least 13 years of age (or have parental consent if under 18) and that they have the authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of any entity they represent.
The Customer is responsible for maintaining the security of their Account credentials and for all activity that occurs under their Account. The Customer must notify the Supplier immediately at contact@animotive.com if they become aware of any unauthorised use of their Account.
Each individual or entity may maintain one Account. The Supplier reserves the right to suspend or terminate duplicate Accounts.
The Free Plan is available to all registered Customers at no charge. Under the Free Plan, the Customer receives 300 Credits per calendar month, resetting on the first day of each month. Free Plan Credits not used within the month are forfeited and do not carry over.
The Free Plan may be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, subject to clause 7 (Acceptable Use).
The Pro Plan is a paid monthly subscription. Under the Pro Plan, the Customer receives 3,000 Credits per calendar month, resetting on the Renewal Date. The subscription fee is £20.00 per month (plus applicable taxes), billed in advance via the Supplier's payment provider.
Pro Plan Credits not used within a billing period are forfeited on the Renewal Date and do not carry over.
The Supplier may introduce additional subscription tiers from time to time. Any new tiers will be announced on the Platform and will be subject to these Terms.
The Customer is responsible for selecting the subscription tier appropriate to their use. The Supplier reserves the right to audit usage to verify compliance.
One Credit is consumed for each second of animation generated by the Cloud Generation Service (rounded up to the nearest whole second). Credits are deducted from the Customer's balance at the point a generation request is submitted.
If a generation request fails due to a fault on the Supplier's side (including server errors, model failures, or infrastructure issues), the Credits deducted for that request will be automatically refunded to the Customer's Credit balance. No refund will be issued for failures caused by invalid or unsupported Customer Content.
Credits are non-transferable and have no cash value. Credits expire as follows:
(a) Free Plan Credits expire at the end of each calendar month;
(b) Pro Plan Credits expire on each Renewal Date;
(c) all remaining Credits expire immediately upon termination or cancellation of the Customer's Account or subscription.
The Supplier may offer additional Credit top-ups for purchase outside of the standard subscription tiers. Any such purchases are subject to these Terms and the Refund Policy.
Pro Plan subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. Payment is processed by the Supplier's third-party payment provider (currently Paddle). The Customer's payment obligations are subject to the payment provider's terms and conditions, which the Customer agrees to be bound by. All amounts are exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be added where required by law.
Pro Plan subscriptions renew automatically on the monthly anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Renewal Date") unless cancelled in accordance with clause 6.3. The Customer will be charged the then-current subscription fee on each Renewal Date.
The Customer may cancel their Pro Plan subscription at any time via their Account dashboard or by contacting the Supplier. To avoid being charged for the next billing period, the Customer must cancel at least 24 hours before the next Renewal Date. If the Customer cancels less than 24 hours before the Renewal Date, cancellation will take effect from the following Renewal Date.
Following cancellation, the Customer retains access to Pro Plan features and Credits until the end of the current paid billing period. At the end of that period, the Account automatically reverts to the Free Plan. No refunds are issued for unused Credits or any portion of the remaining billing period on cancellation, except as set out in the Refund Policy or as required by applicable law.
The Supplier may revise subscription fees from time to time. The Customer will be given at least 30 days' written notice of any price increase. If the Customer does not agree to the new pricing, they may cancel their subscription before the change takes effect. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new fee.
If a payment fails, the Supplier (or its payment provider) will attempt to notify the Customer. If payment is not successfully received within the grace period permitted by the payment provider, the Customer's subscription may be downgraded to the Free Plan until payment is resolved.
The Supplier's payment provider acts as Merchant of Record for transactions and is responsible for collecting and remitting applicable sales taxes. All subscription fees are displayed inclusive or exclusive of tax as required by applicable local law.
Subject to these Terms and payment of applicable fees, the Supplier grants the Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Services for the Customer's own lawful purposes.
The Customer must not, and must not permit any third party to:
(a) use the Services to generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, threatening, harassing, obscene, abusive, or otherwise objectionable;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Software or the Kimodo model weights accessed via the Cloud Generation Service;
(c) use the Cloud Generation Service to build a competing text-to-animation product or service;
(d) resell, sublicense, or transfer access to the Services or Credits to any third party;
(e) use automated scripts, bots, or other means to generate Credits artificially or to abuse the free tier (including creating multiple Accounts to circumvent Credit limits);
(f) use the Services in any way that violates the NVIDIA Open Model License applicable to the Kimodo model weights, or any other applicable third-party licence;
(g) use the Services in any way that infringes the Intellectual Property Rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party;
(h) attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Supplier's infrastructure, API, or any other Customer's Account;
(i) use the Services to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop a machine learning model without the Supplier's prior written consent.
The Plugin is distributed via the FAB marketplace and is also subject to Epic Games' FAB marketplace terms and conditions. The Customer agrees to comply with those terms in addition to these Terms.
The Supplier reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without notice, to suspend or terminate the Customer's access to the Services if the Supplier reasonably believes the Customer is in breach of these Terms or is engaging in fraudulent or abusive activity.
The Customer retains ownership of all Customer Content submitted to the Services. By submitting Customer Content, the Customer grants the Supplier a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process and use that content for the sole purpose of providing the Services.
The Customer warrants that:
(a) all Customer Content submitted to the Services is lawful and does not infringe any third-party rights;
(b) the Customer has all necessary rights and permissions to submit the Customer Content;
(c) the Customer Content does not contain any personal data of third parties without their consent.
Subject to the Customer's compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, the Customer owns the Generated Content produced from their Customer Content. The Supplier makes no claim to ownership of Generated Content and does not acquire any licence to exploit Generated Content beyond what is necessary to provide the Services.
The Supplier is entitled to collect anonymised and aggregated data about usage of the Services (from which no individual can be identified) for the purposes of improving and developing the Services. The Supplier owns all right, title, and interest in such aggregated data.
The Customer is solely responsible for all Customer Content submitted and all Generated Content produced. The Supplier is not responsible for reviewing Customer Content for legality, accuracy, or third-party rights, and does not monitor Customer Content in real time.
The Platform, the Cloud Generation Service, the Plugin (excluding Epic Games' Unreal Engine components), and all Intellectual Property Rights therein belong exclusively to the Supplier or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any Intellectual Property Rights to the Customer beyond the licences expressly granted herein.
The Kimodo AI model is developed and open-sourced by NVIDIA under the Apache 2.0 licence (code) and the NVIDIA Open Model License (model weights). The Supplier operates a cloud deployment of Kimodo pursuant to those licences. Nothing in these Terms grants the Customer any rights in the Kimodo model weights directly.
The Plugin interacts with Unreal Engine, which is owned by Epic Games, Inc. and is subject to Epic Games' own licensing terms. These Terms do not grant any rights in Unreal Engine.
Both parties agree to comply with all applicable requirements of Data Protection Legislation in connection with the Services.
The Supplier's processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy at https://kimodo.animotive.com/privacy. The Privacy Policy forms part of these Terms.
The Customer warrants that it has all necessary consents and lawful bases for any personal data included in Customer Content submitted to the Services, and will indemnify the Supplier against any claims arising from the Customer's failure to comply with its data protection obligations.
The Services interact with third-party services including the FAB marketplace, Paddle (payment processing), AWS (cloud infrastructure), and the NVIDIA Kimodo model. These are not provided by the Supplier under these Terms and are subject to their own terms and conditions. The Supplier is not liable for any failure, interruption, or issue arising from these third-party services.
All warranties, conditions, and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, excluded from these Terms.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Supplier's liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by the Supplier's negligence;
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
(c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
Subject to clause 11.3, the Supplier's total liability to the Customer under or in connection with these Terms (whether in contract, tort including negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise) shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by the Customer to the Supplier in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or £100 where no fees have been paid.
Subject to clause 11.3, the Supplier shall not be liable for:
(a) loss of profit;
(b) loss of business or revenue;
(c) loss of anticipated savings;
(d) depletion of goodwill;
(e) loss of or damage to Generated Content or Customer Content;
(f) any special, indirect, or consequential loss;
howsoever arising, even if the Supplier has been advised of the possibility of such loss.
The Supplier does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available. The Cloud Generation Service depends on GPU compute infrastructure and AI model processing and may be subject to queue delays, maintenance windows, or temporary unavailability.
The Supplier does not warrant that Generated Content will meet any particular quality standard, be fit for any specific purpose, or achieve any specific creative outcome. The quality of Generated Content depends on the Customer's prompts and on the capabilities of the underlying Kimodo model.
The Customer shall indemnify and hold the Supplier harmless against all claims, costs, proceedings, demands, losses, damages, and liabilities arising from:
(a) any breach of these Terms by the Customer;
(b) any claim that Customer Content infringes the rights of a third party;
(c) any breach by the Customer of applicable Data Protection Legislation;
(d) any violation by the Customer of applicable law in connection with use of the Services.
These Terms apply from the Commencement Date and continue until the Customer's Account is terminated, either by the Customer or by the Supplier.
The Customer may close their Account at any time by contacting the Supplier or using the Account deletion feature on the Platform. Termination takes effect at the end of the current billing period for paid subscriptions. No refund is issued for unused Credits or any remaining portion of the billing period.
The Supplier may terminate or suspend the Customer's Account with immediate effect if:
(a) the Customer is in material breach of these Terms;
(b) the Customer fails to pay any amount due and the payment remains outstanding after notice;
(c) the Customer becomes insolvent or ceases to carry on business;
(d) the Supplier is required to do so by applicable law or a regulatory authority.
The Supplier may also terminate any Account without cause on 30 days' written notice.
On termination of the Customer's Account for any reason:
(a) all Credits are immediately forfeited;
(b) the Customer's access to the Cloud Generation Service and Platform ceases;
(c) the Customer may retain and continue to use the Plugin (downloaded via FAB) in Local Mode, subject to FAB's terms;
(d) any Generated Content previously downloaded by the Customer remains the Customer's property;
(e) Customer Content stored by the Supplier will be retained for 12 months following termination and then securely deleted, unless earlier deletion is required by law.
Clauses 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 survive termination of these Terms.
The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, governmental actions, pandemic, natural disaster, failure of third-party infrastructure (including AWS, Paddle, or NVIDIA services), or industrial disputes. If such circumstances continue for more than 90 days, either party may terminate the Contract on written notice.
Each party agrees to keep the other's Confidential Information confidential and not to use it except as necessary to perform its obligations under these Terms. This obligation survives termination for a period of five years. Each party may disclose Confidential Information to its employees, contractors, and advisers on a need-to-know basis, provided those persons are bound by equivalent confidentiality obligations.
These Terms (including the Privacy Policy and Refund Policy) constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the Services and supersede all prior representations, understandings, and agreements.
Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of the right to enforce it in the future.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
The Customer may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms without the Supplier's prior written consent. The Supplier may assign these Terms to a successor entity in the context of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the Supplier's business.
A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any provision of these Terms.
Any notice required under these Terms must be in writing and delivered by email to contact@animotive.com (for notices to the Supplier) or to the email address associated with the Customer's Account (for notices to the Customer). Notices sent by email are deemed received on the next Working Day after transmission.
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (whether contractual or non-contractual) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Northern Ireland. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland.
