Terms

Effective from 10.7.2026. The operator and its details: Legal.

1. The service

KinemIQ (the „Service“) is a web application at kinemiq.app for creating, editing and exporting character animations, operated by Ľubomír Kochan (the „Operator“, details on the Legal page). The Service is in public beta: it works, it changes often, and it may occasionally be unavailable or contain errors. Using the Service without an account is free; exporting needs an account and credits. Animations made from video or text are generated with AI models and may contain errors.

2. Account

To export you create an account with a valid e-mail address and confirm it. You keep your password private and are responsible for what happens under your account. You must be at least 16 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian. You can delete your account at any time in My account.

3. Credits and plans

Each export uses credits (the number is shown before exporting; currently 1 credit per export, FBX 2). A confirmed new account receives free credits once. Paid plans add a monthly amount of credits, renewed at the start of each billing month; unused monthly credits do not carry over. Credits bought separately or received for free do not expire while the account exists. Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred.

4. Prices and payment

Prices are shown on the website in euros and are final (the operator is not a VAT payer). Payment is made through the payment methods offered at checkout; card details are processed only by the payment provider. A subscription renews automatically for the next period at the price shown until you cancel it; you can cancel online at any time in your account and the plan then runs until the end of the period already paid.

When you buy a plan or an export pack, the order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders: Paddle sells the plans and export packs to you, processes the payment, charges the taxes that apply in your country and issues the invoice, and Paddle provides all customer service inquiries about payments and handles returns. Paddle’s buyer terms apply to the purchase. You can manage or cancel a subscription and download invoices in your account (Plans & credits – Manage subscription).

5. Delivery and right of withdrawal

Digital content (credits, plans) is supplied immediately after payment. A consumer has the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving a reason. By asking for the content to be supplied immediately and confirming at checkout that you lose the right of withdrawal once supply has begun, you agree that the right of withdrawal ends when the credits or the plan are made available on your account. Unused credits of a purchase you withdraw from within 14 days before any of them was used are refunded on request.

6. Licence to exported animations

During the public beta, while exports are free, you may use the animations you export in personal and commercial projects (as with a paid plan below); this applies to every export made during the beta, also after it ends.

With a paid plan, you may use the animations you export in your own and your clients‘ projects – games, films, apps, advertising – commercially, worldwide and without time limit. With the free plan, exports are for personal, non-commercial use. In every case you may not resell, share or publish the exported animations, or the KinemIQ motion library, as stand-alone animation files, packs or libraries, nor use them to train machine learning models.

Third-party motion. Some library animations come from open datasets under their own licences (listed on Sources & credits). Nothing in these terms restricts what those licences allow you: a clip licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) may be used, shared and adapted under that licence, with its credit. The credit is written into every exported file; keep it where the licence requires it. The restrictions above apply to the KinemIQ composition, edits and the library as a whole.

7. Acceptable use

You may not misuse the Service: attempt to bypass credits or limits, copy the motion library in bulk, reverse engineer or overload the Service, access other users‘ data, or use it unlawfully. You may only upload videos, characters and animations you have the right to use (for example your own recordings, or material whose licence allows it); you are responsible for the rights of the people, choreography and designs they show. Animation from text must also be used in line with NVIDIA’s Trustworthy AI terms and Meta’s Llama 3 acceptable use policy. The Operator may suspend accounts that breach these terms.

Your uploads. Your videos are analysed in your own browser and are not uploaded. A character or animation file you upload is stored only to provide the Service to you: you give the Operator a limited licence to store and process it for that purpose only; it is never shared, published or used for anything else, and it is deleted with your account or earlier as described in the Privacy policy. Material reported to info@kinemiq.app as unlawful is removed when the report is justified.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, design and motion library belong to the Operator or its licensors (see Sources & credits). Except for the licence in section 6 and the licences of third-party material, no rights are transferred.

9. Liability

The Service is provided as available, as a beta. To the extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for indirect damage, lost profit or lost data; the total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the last 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits a consumer’s statutory rights.

10. Complaints

Complaints are handled according to the Complaints and refunds policy. Personal data is processed according to the Privacy policy.

11. Changes to the Service, plans and prices

The Service develops continuously. The Operator may change, add or remove features, tools and settings, and add to or update the motion library, and may change the plans (what they include, the number of exports, length limits and extras), the export packs and the prices – for example to develop the Service, because of its costs, or because of legal or technical changes.

New prices apply only to new purchases, from the moment they are shown on the website; a running subscription keeps the price it was bought at for as long as it renews without a break. A change of what a running subscription includes takes effect from its next billing period, and only after we have told you by e-mail at least 14 days in advance; if you do not agree, you can cancel the subscription before the change takes effect, and your plan runs until the end of the period already paid. Exports and export packs already bought stay valid on the terms they were bought under.

12. Changes of these terms and law

The Operator may change these terms; changes are announced on the website and by e-mail at least 14 days in advance and apply to new purchases. These terms are governed by the law of the Slovak Republic; a consumer keeps the protection of the law of their country of residence. Disputes may also be resolved out of court (see Legal).
