Terms of Service

Last updated: February 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Open Animate's website, CLI tools, APIs, hosted platform, and related services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Service Description

Open Animate provides an open-source creative toolkit for AI agents, including a CLI, component library, media generation gateway, and optional hosted cloud rendering. The open-source packages are licensed under Apache 2.0. The hosted platform is a separate commercial service.

3. Account Registration

Certain features require an account. You must provide accurate information, maintain the security of your credentials, and accept responsibility for all activity under your account. API keys must not be shared with unauthorized third parties.

4. User Content

You retain ownership of content you create using the Services. By using the hosted platform, you grant Open Animate a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to process your content solely as necessary to provide the Services. We do not use your content to train models.

5. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to infrastructure
  • Reverse-engineer the hosted platform
  • Resell access without authorization
  • Circumvent rate limits or abuse the media gateway
  • Generate content that violates applicable laws

6. Payment & Billing

Paid features are billed in advance on a subscription or credit basis. Fees are non-refundable except as required by law. We may change pricing with 30 days' notice.

7. Intellectual Property

The open-source packages are licensed under Apache 2.0. All other intellectual property — including the Open Animate name, logo, hosted platform, and documentation — remains the property of Open Animate.

8. Third-Party Services

The Services integrate with third-party providers (e.g., fal.ai for media generation). Your use of these integrations is subject to those providers' terms. We are not responsible for third-party service availability or content.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OPEN ANIMATE'S TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Services at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.
