Terms
1. Who we are
Brollcut (the “Service”) is offered at brollcut.com by Miroslav Matev, trading as [Company name – Einzelunternehmen, to be added], [Address, Austria] (“Brollcut”, “we”, “us”). Full company details are in the Impressum.
These Terms form the contract between you and us when you create an account or otherwise use the Service. Please read them before you sign up. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service. Questions: [email protected].
2. What Brollcut does
You give Brollcut a written script. Brollcut plans the scenes and assembles a finished video from:
- stock footage and images found to match your script, from Pexels, Pixabay, Wikimedia Commons and other publicly available sources (for the “Scene clips” look this can include Creative Commons-licensed videos);
- images generated by AI for the chosen look;
- an AI voiceover, captions, simple motion graphics such as maps and counters, and background music.
All of the AI work (scene planning, image generation, voice and captions) runs on servers that we operate ourselves. We do not send your scripts to external AI providers, and Brollcut does not generate video with AI models. The video is assembled and rendered by Brollcut on servers we operate or rent. You can preview the result, change individual scenes and download the finished file.
3. Your account
- You must be at least 18 years old to open an account.
- You can sign up with an email address and password, or with Google sign-in. Please give accurate details and keep them up to date.
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for whatever happens in your account, unless it was caused by our fault. Tell us right away at [email protected] if you think someone else has access.
- One person per account. Accounts may not be sold or handed over to someone else.
- We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, abuse the Service (for example, by creating many accounts to collect free credits or by trying to overload or break into our systems), or put us or other users at risk. Where reasonable, we will tell you first and give you a chance to respond.
4. Credits, plans and payment
- Credits. The Service is paid for in credits. The cost of a video depends mainly on its finished length and the look you pick. The exact number of credits is shown before you start each generation, and nothing is charged until you confirm. Current rates are listed on the pricing page.
- Free trial. New accounts receive a one-time amount of free trial credits, as described on the pricing page. Trial credits have no cash value.
- Plans. Plans currently on offer are Free, Take, Scene and Feature. The monthly price of each paid plan (including any launch discount, currently −50% until June 30, 2027) and the credits it includes are shown on the pricing page. If the pricing page and this summary differ, the pricing page shown at the time of purchase applies.
- Renewal and cancellation. Plan credits are granted for each billing period. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
- Payment. Payments will be handled by our payment provider Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.
- Failed renders. When you start a generation, the credits are reserved. If the render fails or is cancelled on our side, the reserved credits go back to your balance automatically.
- Price changes. We may change prices or credit rates. We will announce changes to plan prices in advance by email or in the app. They apply from your next billing period, and you can cancel before then.
- Credits cannot be exchanged for money or transferred to another account, except where the law requires otherwise.
5. Right of withdrawal (consumers in the EU)
If you are a consumer in the EU, you generally have the right to withdraw from a contract concluded online within 14 days without giving any reason. The period starts on the day the contract is concluded, for example the day you buy a plan or a credit pack.
To withdraw, tell us clearly that you want to do so, for example by email to [email protected]. You can use the model form below, but you do not have to. Sending your message before the 14 days are over is enough.
If you withdraw, we refund all payments received from you without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of receiving your notice. We use the same payment method you used, unless we agree otherwise. You will not be charged any fees for the refund.
When the right of withdrawal ends early
Credits are digital content and services that we deliver immediately. When you buy them, you expressly ask us to start straight away and you confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal for the part of the purchase that has been used. In practice:
- if you have not used any of the credits you bought, you can withdraw within 14 days and get the full amount back;
- if you have used some of them, the right of withdrawal no longer applies to the credits you used. Where the law gives you a right to a refund for the unused part, we refund that part;
- free trial credits are not part of a paid contract and cannot be withdrawn or refunded.

6. Your content and copyright: your responsibility
This section matters. Please read it closely. You are responsible for what you create with Brollcut and for how you use it.
- What you put in. You confirm that you own, or are allowed to use, everything you enter or upload: scripts, text, links and any other material. You also confirm that it does not break the law or infringe anyone else’s rights, such as copyright, trademarks, privacy or personality rights.
- Material we assemble for you. To illustrate your script, Brollcut finds footage, images and music from third-party and publicly available sources. Each of these comes under its own licence. We do not check, clear or license these materials on your behalf. We try to pick sources whose licences allow reuse, and we show you where a clip comes from when we have that information. Even so, before you publish, monetize or distribute a video, it is up to you to check every scene. That includes footage, images, music, logos, trademarks and any people who can be recognized. It is also up to you to obtain any licences, permissions or credits needed, in every country where you publish.
- Your risk once you publish. You carry the responsibility for publishing, monetizing or distributing videos made with Brollcut. That includes copyright strikes, content ID claims, demonetization, takedowns, claims for damages and legal proceedings. We are not liable for third-party claims about content you produce or publish, except where the claim was caused by our own fault.
- Indemnity. If a third party makes a claim against us because of content you created or published, or because you broke these Terms, you agree to compensate us for the resulting damage and reasonable legal costs. This applies as far as the law permits. If you are a consumer, it applies only where you are at fault.
- AI-generated material. AI images and voices can contain mistakes or unintended likenesses. Where platforms or laws require AI-generated or synthetic content to be labelled, labelling it is your responsibility.
7. Prohibited use
You must not use Brollcut to create or spread content that:
- is illegal, or that promotes or glorifies violence, terrorism or crime;
- sexualizes minors in any way, or is sexually explicit;
- is hateful, harassing, threatening or defamatory toward people or groups;
- impersonates real people, or misleads people in a way likely to cause harm, such as fake news, scams or election manipulation;
- infringes copyright, trademarks or other rights, or violates someone’s privacy.
You also must not try to get around credit charges or usage limits, reverse-engineer or scrape the Service, or interfere with its security or operation. We may refuse or delete content that breaks this section, suspend the account involved and, where the law requires it, report the content to the authorities.
8. Who owns what
- Your videos. As between you and us, you own the videos you export. Third parties keep their rights in the footage, images, music and other materials included in them (see “Your content and copyright”).
- Our service. We keep all rights in Brollcut itself: the software, the pipelines and models we run, the design, the looks and presets, and the Brollcut name and logo. These Terms only give you the right to use the Service as described here.
- Permission to process. You allow us to store, process and render your scripts and projects only as far as needed to run the Service for you. For example, we use them to generate previews, render the video and let you download it. We do not publish your content, and we do not use it to advertise Brollcut without your permission.
9. How long we keep your projects
- Projects, including editable previews, scenes and the assets in them, are kept for a limited time only: projects and their assets are deleted automatically 48 hours after the video finished rendering.
- Download your video to keep it. After deletion, the project cannot be restored.
- We keep the records we need for accounting and the law, such as your credit history and invoices, as described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Availability and “as is”
We work hard to keep Brollcut running well. However, automated video assembly is not perfect. Scenes can occasionally be inaccurate, mismatched or of lower quality. Apart from your statutory rights, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that it will always be available, free of errors, or suitable for a particular purpose. We may improve, change, limit or discontinue features. If we discontinue a paid feature you have paid for, we will tell you in advance and refund unused prepaid amounts. Your statutory warranty rights as a consumer are not affected.
11. Limitation of liability
- We are liable without limitation for damage we cause intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and wherever the law does not allow liability to be limited, for example under product liability law.
- Otherwise, for slight negligence, our total liability is limited to the amounts you paid us in the three months before the event that caused the claim. As far as legally permitted, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, lost profits or lost revenue. This includes consequences of publishing content made with the Service.
- For consumers, these limitations apply only as far as Austrian and EU consumer protection law allows.
12. Ending the contract
You can stop using Brollcut, cancel your plan and ask us to delete your account at any time (email [email protected]). We may end the contract with reasonable notice, or immediately for a serious breach of these Terms. If we end it without you being at fault, we refund unused prepaid amounts. The sections on content and copyright, ownership, liability and governing law continue to apply after the contract ends.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms, for example when we add features, start taking payments, or when the law changes. We will tell you about important changes by email or in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the changes apply. If you keep using the Service after the effective date, you accept the new Terms. The date at the top always shows the current version.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live. You can also bring claims before the courts at your place of residence. For businesses, the competent court for our place of business in Austria has jurisdiction.
If you have a complaint, please write to us first at [email protected]. We will try to find a solution with you. More information on dispute resolution is in the Impressum.

Privacy
1. Who is responsible
The controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Miroslav Matev, [Company name – Einzelunternehmen, to be added], [Address, Austria]. Email: [email protected]. Full details are in the Impressum.
This policy explains what personal data Brollcut processes, why, how long we keep it and what rights you have. We keep data to the minimum the Service needs, and we never sell personal data.
2. Data we process
| Category | What exactly | Why · legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address, name (optional), password stored only as an Argon2 hash, plan and credit balance. With Google sign-in: your Google account ID, name, email address and profile picture URL, as provided by Google. | Creating and running your account (contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Sign-in security | Session records with IP address, browser type and time; login attempt counters | Keeping your account secure and preventing abuse (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Content | Scripts you enter, your project settings, and the generated scenes, voiceover and videos | Producing your videos (contract, Art. 6(1)(b)). Deleted automatically 48 hours after rendering |
| Credits and billing | Credit history (grants, reservations, charges, refunds); later, payment and subscription records and invoices. Card details are processed only by Stripe. | Billing (contract) and keeping accounting records (legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Communications | Emails you send us, and transactional emails such as email confirmation or password reset | Answering you and running the Service (contract; legitimate interest) |
| Marketing | Your email address and name, only if you opt in to product news and offers | Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time |
| Technical | IP address, server and error logs, request times | Operation, security and troubleshooting (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f)) |
We send product news and offers by email only if you have given consent, for example by ticking the optional box when you create an account with email. Signing in with Google does not opt you in. You can withdraw that consent at any time, for example by using the unsubscribe link in those emails or by writing to us. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of emails already sent.
3. Legal bases
- Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, consent: for optional product news and offers by email. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, contract: to provide your account and produce your videos.
- Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, legal obligation: for example, keeping accounting and tax records.
- Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interests: security, preventing abuse and fraud, troubleshooting, and answering your messages. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests (see “Your rights”).
4. Cookies and local storage
We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work. Because they are necessary, no consent banner is needed:
| Cookie | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
as_session | Keeps you signed in (random token; only a hash of it is stored on our side) | Up to 30 days, or until you log out |
as_csrf | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Browser session |
as_oauth | Only during Google sign-in: protects the sign-in flow | 10 minutes |
Your browser’s local storage also keeps a few preferences on your device, such as the colour theme and an unsent script draft. These are not sent to us until you submit them.
We use no analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and our public pages load no third-party scripts or fonts. If paid plans are switched on, the payment pages hosted by Stripe are covered by Stripe’s own cookie policy.
5. Service providers (processors)
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. (planned) | Payments and subscriptions, once paid plans are switched on |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | DNS, network protection and secure connection (tunnel/proxy) to our servers; forwarding of email to our addresses |
| Hetzner Online GmbH (planned) | Hosting of the servers that run Brollcut, in Germany/the EU |
| Google Ireland Ltd. / Google LLC | Google sign-in only, when you choose it. We receive your Google ID, name, email and profile picture URL; Google does not receive your scripts or videos. |
These providers process data only on our instructions and under data-processing agreements. This list may still change before Brollcut launches publicly. For example, we may add a provider for sending transactional email. We will update this page before any new provider receives personal data.
6. Media sources and map lookups
To find footage, images and music for your script, our servers send search terms derived from your script to the stock libraries Pexels and Pixabay, and to Wikimedia Commons and, for the “Scene clips” look, YouTube search for Creative Commons videos. To draw maps, place names may be looked up with OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service. These requests come from our servers and contain the search words only. They do not include your name, email or account. Please do not put personal data about yourself or others into your script unless you need to.
All AI processing (scene planning, image generation, voice and captions) runs on servers we operate. Your scripts are not sent to external AI providers.
7. Transfers outside the EU
We aim to process data within the EU. Some providers (Cloudflare, Google, Stripe) are part of groups based in the USA, so data may be transferred there. Such transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or otherwise on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
8. How long we keep data
- Account data: as long as your account exists. After you delete your account, it is deleted or anonymized within 30 days, except for what we must keep by law.
- Projects and videos: deleted automatically 48 hours after rendering.
- Session records: until the session expires, at most 30 days.
- Billing and accounting records: 7 years, as required by Austrian tax law (§ 132 BAO).
- Server logs: a short period, normally no more than 30 days, unless needed to investigate a security incident.
- Support emails: up to 2 years after the conversation ends.
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access your data (Art. 15), to have it corrected (Art. 16) or erased (Art. 17), to restrict processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
To use these rights, email [email protected] from the address linked to your account. We answer within one month.
10. Complaints
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, dsb.gv.at. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first, so please contact us.
11. Security
Passwords are never stored in readable form. We keep only a salted Argon2 hash. Session and one-time tokens are stored only as SHA-256 hashes. Connections to brollcut.com are encrypted with TLS (HTTPS). Forms are protected against cross-site request forgery, and sign-in attempts are rate-limited. Access to our servers is restricted to the operator. No system is completely secure. If a data breach affects you, we will inform you and the authority as the law requires.
12. Children
Brollcut is intended for adults (18+). We do not knowingly process data of children. If you believe a child has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the Service or the law changes. The date at the top shows the current version. We will tell you about important changes by email or in the app.
