# Terms of use
Effective 9 October 2026.
The editors on Cutshed are free and run in your browser. Cutshed Studio is separate: it is the paid video generator, and it is the only part of the site that uses an account. By using either, you agree to these terms.
## You need the rights
You may only process media you own, shot yourself, or have permission to modify. That includes music, dialogue, and footage of other people. A model license is not a license to the recording. Open-Unmix and Whisper being free to use commercially does not make a commercial song free to separate. You are responsible for copyright, publicity, and any release your project needs.
## Free tools stay on the device
The free tools do not ask you to sign in and do not upload the file you open. Do not send media to the contact address expecting it to be processed. That work happens in your browser.
## Studio accounts and payments
Studio sign-in is Google or an email link. A new account starts with zero credits. Credits are sold in one-time packs: $5 for 400, $10 for 850, and $25 for 2,250 . Stripe takes the card payment. We store the account email, the credit ledger, the prompt, and the job status so we can run the clip and show it back to you.
Credits are held when you submit a generation and kept when the clip succeeds. If the model fails or blocks the prompt, the credits go back on their own. Unused credits are not refunded for cash, except where the law requires a refund. A pack is not a subscription.
## What Studio will not generate
Do not ask for sexual content involving anyone under 18, sexual content of a real person, or non-consensual intimate imagery. Those prompts are refused. The model provider can also refuse a job; when it does, the credits are returned. You need the rights to any photo you upload as a start frame, and you are responsible for how you publish the clip.
## Face swap
Face swap needs a source face and a target image or video. Recast, which replaces the people in a source video using up to four reference photos, follows the same permission, age, and sexual-content rules. Before a job starts you have to confirm that you have permission from everyone shown, and that the result is not meant to deceive, harass, or make sexual content. That confirmation is stored with the job.
Do not swap anyone under 18. The face-swap models do not return an age score, so the rule is yours to follow and ours to enforce when a description mentions a child or the provider blocks the result. Do not use a swap to impersonate someone, to deceive a viewer about who is in the picture, to harass, or to make sexual or intimate content. Those jobs are refused when the text matches those rules, and a provider safety block refunds the credits and does not show the file.
To ask for a takedown of a face swap, email hello@cutshed.com with the job or the page where it appears. We will remove the stored result when we can identify it.
## No warranty
The tools are provided as is. Separation leaves bleed. Whisper tiny mishears names. Machine translation misses jokes and proper nouns. Background masks miss hair. GIF color is limited to 256 colors. A job can fail when the tab runs out of memory. We do not warrant fitness for a festival delivery, a client master, or any particular browser. To the extent the law allows, liability for lost footage, missed deadlines, or bad exports is excluded. Some places do not allow that exclusion; in those places liability is limited to the amount you paid, which is zero.
## Acceptable use
Do not use the tools to process illegal content, to strip protection you are not allowed to remove, or to impersonate someone with a synthetic edit of their voice or face without a lawful basis. The software does not add a watermark. That does not make the output yours if the input was not.
## Software licenses
Site pages are application code. Open-Unmix UMX-HQ weights are MIT. U²-Netp is Apache-2.0. Real-ESRGAN is BSD-3-Clause. RNNoise is BSD-3-Clause and its Jitsi wasm wrapper is Apache-2.0. Whisper is MIT. OPUS-MT is CC BY 4.0. The ffmpeg.wasm wrapper is MIT and the ffmpeg core binary is GPL, because the build includes GPL-licensed encoders. Those licenses govern the software, not your media. Each tool page states the license that applies to that job.

Files stay on this device.
Free tools never upload the file you open. Studio is the only paid part of the site, and the only place a prompt is sent to a video model.
