Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of the Katkut AI app and its paid plans ("Service"), provided by Katkut ("we", "us"). By using the Service, you agree to these terms.

1. The Service

Katkut AI is a mobile app with two ways to make a reel. The Reel editor analyzes and assembles short video clips you select into a vertical (9:16) reel, entirely on your device. Studio Mode turns one talking-head video into a captioned short: it transcribes your speech, writes captions, and finds b-roll automatically, using the outside AI providers described in our Privacy Policy — assembly and export still happen on your device either way, and no other feature sends anything off it. The free plan shows ads, puts a watermark on exported videos, and limits how many minutes of video Studio Mode processes each month and how long each video can be. The paid plans (Pro, Pro Plus and Pro Max) raise those limits and remove the ads and the watermark.

2. Your account

Signing in (via Google or Apple) is optional for the Reel editor but required for Studio Mode and to subscribe to a paid plan, since your plan and your Studio minutes are both tied to your account. You're responsible for keeping your account accessible and for all activity under it.

3. Subscriptions and billing

• Plans. We offer three monthly plans: Pro, Pro Plus and Pro Max (currently $3.99, $6.99 and $9.99 a month in US dollars; the App Store shows your local price). Each plan's price and allowances are shown in the app before you subscribe and on our Pricing page. Plans renew automatically every month until cancelled.
• Original Pro plan. If you subscribed to Katkut AI Pro before Pro Plus and Pro Max were introduced, you keep that plan at its original price and allowance ($3.99 a month for 120 minutes) for as long as your subscription stays active.
• How you pay. On iPhone, you subscribe in the app through Apple's In-App Purchase system, billed to your Apple ID, and Apple's terms govern that payment. On Android, the app opens a secure Stripe checkout in your browser; Stripe acts as merchant of record for these purchases.
• Minutes. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of Studio video minutes, part of which can be AI-enhanced (videos that use translation, romanised captions or Smart B-Roll). A video counts its spoken length; an AI-enhanced video counts at least one minute. Pro, Pro Plus and Pro Max minutes renew on your billing date; the free plan's and the original Pro plan's renew on the 1st of each month (UTC). Unused minutes don't roll over. The app shows what you have left.
• Upgrades. You can move to a bigger plan at any time. The new plan and its full allowance start immediately, unused minutes from your previous plan don't carry over, and your billing date moves to the day you upgrade. On iPhone, Apple calculates the charge and any credit for your previous plan. On Android, the new plan's full monthly price is charged on the day you upgrade, with no credit or refund for the time left on your previous plan.
• Downgrades. On iPhone, a move to a smaller plan takes effect at your next renewal. On Android, moving to a smaller plan isn't available yet; you can cancel instead.
• Cancelling. You can cancel anytime: on iPhone in your Apple ID's subscription settings, on Android from Manage subscription in the app's Settings. Cancelling stops future renewals, and your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting your account in the app cancels an Android subscription; an iPhone subscription must be cancelled with Apple.
• Refunds. Except where required by law, we don't provide refunds for partial billing periods. Refunds for iPhone purchases are handled by Apple.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we may suspend your paid plan until payment succeeds or the subscription is cancelled.

4. Your content

Your clips, photos, and exported videos are yours. We don't claim any ownership over them. As described in our Privacy Policy, Reels are processed entirely on your device; Studio Mode sends only your video's audio track (for transcription) and, when a feature needs it, the resulting transcript (for translation, captions and b-roll planning) to the outside providers named there, and nothing else.

You're responsible for having the rights to any footage, audio, speech, or music you include in your reels, and for complying with the terms of whatever platform you post the finished reel to.

Stock footage and reaction GIFs in Studio exports. When you use Studio Mode's automatic b-roll, Katkut selects and downloads stock footage from Pexels and reaction GIFs or stickers from GIPHY into your exported video, under those providers' own terms. Pexels' library is licensed for commercial use; GIPHY's is user-uploaded and does not carry the same guarantee. If you intend to use a Studio export commercially, you're responsible for reviewing what b-roll and reaction content it contains — visible in the editor before you export — and removing anything you're not comfortable using.

5. Acceptable use

Don't use Katkut AI to process content you don't have the right to use, or in any way that violates applicable law.

6. AI-generated captions, translations and b-roll

Studio Mode's captions, translations, emoji placement, and b-roll choices are generated by automated speech recognition and AI models (see "Studio Mode and AI processing" in our Privacy Policy). Like any automated system, they can make mistakes — a mistranscribed word, a mistranslation, an emoji or cutaway that misreads the moment. Studio Mode's editor exists so you can review and fix all of it before exporting, and you're responsible for reviewing the finished video before you post it, especially where accuracy matters (names, numbers, quotes, or a translation into a language you don't personally read).

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is." We aim for Katkut's automatic cut selection and Studio Mode's automatic captions and b-roll to be genuinely useful, but we don't guarantee either will match your taste every time. Both are a starting point, meant to be reviewed and finished before you export and post.

8. Changes

We may update these terms or the Service over time. If we make material changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above.
