Terms of Use

The agreement

These terms apply when you use the Haku Studio apps, the private links they create, and this website (together, “Haku”), made by Haku Studio (“we”, “us”). By using Haku, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Haku.

The private beta

• Haku is in private beta, by invitation, through Apple's TestFlight. Your use of TestFlight is also subject to Apple's terms.
• The beta is free. We'll tell beta members about plans and prices before anything changes, and nothing you've made will be charged for without your agreement.
• Features can change, arrive, or be removed while we learn from the beta. Haku can have errors or be unavailable at times.
• The beta has limits on storage, length and exports to keep Haku fast and reliable for everyone. We'll tell you before you reach one.
• Keep your own copies of your videos. Haku never changes your originals, but it isn't a backup service.

Your account

You must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where you live, to use Haku. You sign in with Apple or Google, and you're responsible for what happens in your account. Tell us at hello@hakustudio.art if you think someone else is using it.

Your content stays yours

You keep all your rights to the videos, notes, descriptions and edits you bring to or make in Haku (“your content”). We don't claim ownership of it.

You give us only the limited permission we need to provide Haku to you: to store, copy, analyze, edit, render and export your content, to support you, and to share a version when you ask us to. This permission is worldwide, free, and ends when your content is deleted, except for copies you've shared with others and short-lived backups.

Rights you need

Only add content you have the right to use. That includes the footage, any music or sound in it, and the voices and likeness of the people who appear, as well as any logos or trademarks. If Haku adds music to a cut, it comes from sources licensed or free for that use.

If you believe something shared through Haku infringes your rights or your privacy, write to hello@hakustudio.art and we'll look into it promptly.

Acceptable use

Don't use Haku to:

• Break the law, or store or share content you don't have the right to.
• Create or share sexual content involving minors, intimate images of anyone without their consent, or content that harasses, threatens or exploits people.
• Record, track or expose people in ways the law doesn't allow.
• Get around Haku's limits or security, access other people's accounts or content, or disrupt the service.
• Copy, reverse-engineer or resell Haku, or access it by automated means, except where the law allows it.

We may remove content or turn off a private link that breaks these rules, and we may report illegal content to the authorities.

Haku's suggestions

Haku proposes cuts, edits and questions; you decide what to keep. Its suggestions are made automatically and can be wrong or incomplete, so review your video before you share or publish it. What you publish, and where, is up to you.

Private links

A private link lets anyone who has it watch the one version you shared, in a browser, until you turn the link off. You're responsible for who you give it to.

Haku's software

Haku, its design, name and logo belong to Haku Studio. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the apps on your Apple devices while you follow these terms.

Feedback

If you send us ideas or feedback, we can use them to improve Haku without owing you anything. We won't share your name with them unless you agree.

Ending

You can stop using Haku at any time and ask us to delete your account by writing to privacy@hakustudio.art; deleting it from the app is coming. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. If we end the beta or Haku, we'll give you reasonable notice first so you can save what you need.

Disclaimers

Haku is a beta, provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we don't promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer-protection laws that can't be waived.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Haku Studio isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or lost opportunities, and our total liability for any claim about Haku is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and 100 US dollars. This doesn't limit liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud or intentional harm.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws that apply where Haku Studio operates. If you use Haku as a consumer, you also keep the protections of the laws where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there. We'd always rather resolve a problem directly first: write to hello@hakustudio.art.

Changes

We may update these terms as Haku changes. We'll update the date at the top, and for important changes we'll tell you in the app or by email before they apply. If you keep using Haku after that, the new terms apply.
