These terms govern your use of the textbased.video Premiere Pro extension, the textbased.video desktop app, and the textbased.video website at textbased.video (together, “textbased.video”). By installing or using any part of textbased.video, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use textbased.video.
1. Alpha status
textbased.video is currently in alpha. This means it is offered free of charge to a self-selecting group of early users, may contain bugs, and may be revoked, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice. You are using textbased.video at your own risk during this phase.
Vendor certification status during alpha. Some components of textbased.video are certified by their respective platform vendors and some are not yet. Specifically:
- Google's Drive OAuth verification submission is in preparation — we will be applying formally very soon. Until granted, users see an “unverified app” consent screen on first sign-in.
- The Windows installer is unsigned during alpha — SmartScreen warns “Unknown publisher” on first install (click More info → Run anyway to proceed). OV-signed installers and Microsoft Store submission arrive with the paid launch.
- The macOS desktop app DMG is signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarised by Apple — Gatekeeper opens it cleanly on first install with no warning.
- The Premiere extension ZXP is self-signed for alpha distribution and installed via a third-party extension manager. Adobe Exchange-blessed distribution arrives with the paid launch.
By installing textbased.video during alpha, you accept that you are clicking through any warnings you encounter knowingly. The full alpha-period compliance posture (GDPR lawful basis, CCPA stance, EU representative status, Australian Privacy Act, vendor compliance, and more) is laid out in section 12 of the Privacy Policy.
2. Licence grant
Subject to these terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use textbased.video for the duration shown on your licence record. The licence is tied to the email address it was issued to and to the number of machines permitted by your plan.
You may not:
- resell, sublicence, rent, or transfer your licence,
- share your licence key with anyone outside your authorised machine count,
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the licence signing keys or modify the activation logic,
- use textbased.video in violation of any applicable law or any platform terms (including Adobe's Premiere Pro EULA and Google Drive's terms),
- use textbased.video to send spam, distribute malware, or upload unlawful content.
3. Your content
textbased.video does not store the video, audio, or transcript content of your projects. That content remains in your own Google Drive, under your control and subject to your agreement with Google. Encrypted return files are temporarily held in our storage (the Privacy Policy section “Encrypted return files” describes what we hold and for how long); we cannot decrypt them. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to handle, share, and edit the content you process through textbased.video.
4. Intellectual property
textbased.video, its source code, branding, and design are owned by the operator of the registered Australian business name text based video. These terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.
5. Privacy
Our handling of your personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
textbased.video is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that textbased.video will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the results obtained from its use will be accurate or reliable.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event shall the operator of textbased.video be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your use of textbased.video. Because textbased.video is currently provided free of charge, the operator's total liability for any claim arising from these terms is limited to the amount you paid for textbased.video in the twelve months preceding the claim, which is zero during the alpha phase.
8. Termination
Your licence may be revoked at any time, with or without notice, if you breach these terms. You can stop using textbased.video at any time by uninstalling it and deactivating your machine from inside the extension panel. Sections 4, 6, 7, and 9 survive termination.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as textbased.video evolves. Material changes will be announced by email to active licence holders. The “last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the current version. Continued use of textbased.video after a change means you accept the updated terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Disputes will first be raised by direct communication at support@textbased.video; any matter that cannot be resolved that way will be heard in the courts of Australia.
