1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Second Act ("the Service"), operated by Second Act Studio ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Second Act is an AI-powered film production platform that enables users to generate videos, images, screenplays, storyboards, and other creative content using artificial intelligence models including but not limited to Google Veo, Kling AI, Seedance, and Google Imagen.

3. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account using Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for all activities that occur under your account. You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service.

4. Credits and Payment

The Service operates on a credit-based system. New accounts receive complimentary credits upon signup. Additional recurring or one-time credits may be purchased through the platform.

No Rollovers: Unused plan credits do not roll over from month to month. At the end of each monthly billing cycle, any remaining monthly plan credits will expire and reset back to the base allocation of your current tier.

No Refunds: All payments, including subscription fees and credit pack purchases, are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. All sales are final, and we do not offer refunds, credits, or prorated billing for any unused time or credits. We reserve the right to modify pricing and credit allocations at any time.

Subscription Auto-Renewal: Paid subscription plans are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) and will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle at the then-current rate unless you cancel your subscription before the renewal date through your account billing settings or via the Stripe customer billing portal.

5. Content Ownership and License

Inputs and Outputs: The Service utilizes software, technology, and artificial intelligence models to process user inputs (such as descriptive text prompts, screenplay texts, and uploaded reference images, videos, audio, or voice files, collectively referred to as "Inputs") and generate outputs (such as generated videos, images, voices, storyboards, and text, collectively referred to as "Outputs").

Ownership: We do not claim ownership of any of your Inputs or Outputs. Outputs generated through the Service are licensed to you for personal use, and we do not restrict the use of Outputs for commercial use. However, we do not grant or warrant any commercial license or intellectual property rights in the Outputs, and you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Outputs complies with applicable laws, third-party rights, and the terms of the underlying AI model providers.

License to Us: By using the Service, you grant us (and our affiliates) a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works from, publish, publicly display, and distribute your Inputs and Outputs to operate, maintain, provide, and improve our services, AI models, algorithms, and related technologies, as well as to showcase generated content for promotional and marketing purposes (unless you opt out in your account settings).

Storage and Deletion: We have no obligation to store any of your Inputs or Outputs. We reserve the right to delete, clean up, or restrict storage of any content, generated outputs, or reference assets at any time in our sole discretion without liability or prior notice.

Content generated by AI models may not always be accurate, appropriate, or free from bias. We do not guarantee the quality, accuracy, or suitability of any AI-generated content. You are solely responsible for reviewing and using generated content appropriately. AI-generated content should not be presented as human-created work without appropriate disclosure.

Disclaimer of Originality, Legality, and Liability: We make no representation or warranty as to the originality, legality, accuracy, or fitness of any Output. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) Outputs may contain errors, omissions, offensive material, or third-party content; (ii) you are solely responsible for your use, distribution, or reliance on Outputs, including compliance with all applicable laws and third-party rights; and (iii) we expressly disclaim any and all liability arising from or relating to Outputs.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party AI model providers (Google, Kling AI, Seedance). Your use of these models is also subject to their respective terms of service. We are not responsible for the availability, performance, or policies of third-party services.

9. Limitation of Liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Any unused credits will be forfeited upon termination for cause.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated terms on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

13. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

Informal Dispute Resolution: Before initiating any formal legal or arbitration proceeding, you and we agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy informally. You must send a written notice of dispute detailing the nature of the claim to legal@second-act.app. We will meet and confer via teleconference or videoconference in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute.

Binding Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days of the informal dispute notice, either party may commence binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place individually and not as a class, representative, or collective action. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Furthermore, you and we hereby waive any constitutional or statutory rights to a trial by jury in any proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service.

Opt-Out: You have the right to opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending a written opt-out notice to legal@second-act.app within thirty (30) days of first registering your account.

14. Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that users do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement committed using the Service.

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our copyright agent with a written notice containing:
