Terms of Service

Last updated: June 9, 2026 · Effective: June 9, 2026

1. Who we are

SynCut (“SynCut,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is a software service operated by 1001619859 Ontario Incorporated, a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (“the Company”). Contact: contact@syncut.io.

By creating an account or using SynCut, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use SynCut.

2. What SynCut does

SynCut is a software plugin for video-editing applications (currently DaVinci Resolve on macOS) that analyzes the cut points and rhythm of an edit you have already made and recommends music tracks whose characteristics align with that edit. SynCut is a discovery and recommendation tool. We do not own, sell, or grant licenses to the music we surface.

3. Music licensing — please read carefully

The music tracks SynCut recommends are owned and licensed by third-party music catalogs, each under its own terms. SynCut does not grant you any license to use any track. Before using any track — especially in a paid or commercial project — you are responsible for obtaining the appropriate license directly from the catalog that provides it and for complying with that catalog’s terms. SynCut surfaces a track’s licensing status as a convenience only and does not warrant that any track is cleared, error-free, or suitable for your particular use. (See Sections 10–11.)

4. Accounts

• You sign in with a one-time code we email you. You are responsible for the security of your email account and for all activity under your SynCut account.
• You must provide an accurate email address and be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (and at least 16).
• One account per user unless we agree otherwise in writing. Don’t share, sell, or transfer your account.

5. Plans, billing, and refunds

• SynCut offers a free tier and paid subscription tiers. Features and prices for each tier are described at syncut.io and may change on reasonable notice.
• Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual) and auto-renew until cancelled. Payments are processed by our payment provider (Stripe); we do not store your full card details.
• 14-day refund: you may request a full refund within 14 days of your initial purchase by emailing contact@syncut.io. After 14 days, fees are non-refundable and partial periods are not pro-rated, except where required by law.
• You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
• Prices are exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any applicable taxes.

6. Beta software

SynCut is currently in beta. It is provided “as is,” may contain errors, may change or be discontinued, and should not be relied on for time-critical or mission-critical work. Beta access may be revoked at any time.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or models of SynCut, except where this restriction is prohibited by law; (b) resell, sublicense, or redistribute SynCut or any catalog data obtained through it; (c) scrape, bulk-download, or build a competing catalog/index from data accessed through SynCut; (d) circumvent any music-licensing requirement or usage limit; (e) use SynCut unlawfully or to infringe others’ rights; or (f) interfere with or overload the service.

8. Intellectual property

SynCut, including its software and its music-matching technology (Patent Pending — U.S. Provisional App. No. 64/049,269), is owned by the Company and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use SynCut per these Terms. You retain all rights to your own edits, projects, and content. You grant us only the limited rights described in the Privacy Policy to operate and improve the service.

9. Your data

Your use of SynCut is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect and why — including the usage data we analyze to improve our recommendations (the “Data Vault”). By using SynCut you consent to those practices.

10. Disclaimers

SynCut is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that any recommended track is correctly licensed, cleared, or appropriate for your intended use — you must verify licensing yourself (see Section 3). We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill; and (b) our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to SynCut will not exceed the greater of (i) the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (ii) CAD $100. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your misuse of SynCut; (b) your failure to obtain proper music licenses; or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms or to comply with law. You may stop using SynCut at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., 3, 8, 10–12, 14) survive termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The courts located in Ontario will have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes we’ll give reasonable notice (email and/or in-app). Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
