01The agreement
These terms are between you and Delta4 Infotech Pvt. Ltd. (“Delta4”, “we”, “us”), a company incorporated in India. They apply when you download, install or use the CoAnimator desktop app, when you buy a licence, and when you use coanimator.com and the free tools on it.
Installing or using CoAnimator means you accept them. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you are allowed to bind it, and “you” means that company. If you do not accept these terms, do not install the software.
Our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy form part of this agreement too.
02What your licence gives you
CoAnimator is licensed, not sold. We grant you a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the software on the number of devices stated at purchase, subject to these terms.
The free tier
The free tier is the complete studio, with a “Made with CoAnimator” watermark applied on export. It does not expire, and it does not require a card. You may use it commercially, watermark included.
The paid licence
A paid licence removes the watermark, activates the device count shown on the pricing page, and includes feature updates for the period stated there. It is perpetual: when the update period ends, the version you already have keeps working, offline, with no account to hold it hostage. Continuing to receive new feature updates after that is optional and separately priced.
Devices
Each installation occupies one seat. You can free a seat at any time from your licence page, and moving between your own machines costs nothing. Extra seats can be added to an existing licence. A licence is for one person or one company — it is not a way for several people to share one purchase.
03Your projects and your videos are yours
You own everything you make. We claim no ownership of your projects, your source media or the videos you render, and we take no cut and no royalty on them. Sell them, publish them, use them in client work — there is no per-video fee and no export limit on any tier.
Because rendering happens on your machine, we do not receive your work and have no ability to look at it. That is a property of how the software is built, not a promise we could quietly stop keeping.
If you choose to send us something — a demo for our showcase, a clip attached to a support ticket, a template you want published — you grant us a non-exclusive licence to use it for the purpose you sent it for, including displaying it on this site if that was the point. You can withdraw that for anything we have not already printed or published by writing to us.
04Templates, assets and third-party services
Templates, demo projects and sample assets we ship are licensed to you for use inside your own videos. You may modify them freely. You may not extract them and redistribute or sell them as templates, assets or a competing library.
Where a template depends on a font, a stock clip or a model published by someone else, that third party’s licence applies to that component, and we point at it in the template’s documentation.
CoAnimator can be connected to AI providers using your own API keys. Those services are yours, not ours: you agree to their terms, you pay them directly at their prices, and you are responsible for what you send them. We do not mark them up, and we are not liable for their output, availability, pricing or policies.
05What you may not do
You may not:
- sell, rent, sublicense, redistribute or publish the software itself, or make it available as a service to people who have not licensed it;
- share, publish or resell a licence key, or use a key you did not obtain from us or an authorised reseller;
- remove, obscure or circumvent the free-tier watermark by patching, tampering with or hooking the software;
- work around device limits, licence checks or update controls, or run modified builds that do so;
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the exact extent the law of your country says you may despite this clause;
- strip our copyright notices or pass the software off as your own product;
- use CoAnimator to make anything prohibited by acceptable use below;
- use the site’s APIs, downloads or free tools in a way that degrades them for other people — scraping at volume, automated hammering, or attempting to break authentication.
06Acceptable use
CoAnimator is built for product demos, launch videos, tutorials and explainers, and that is what virtually everyone makes with it. This section is about the small remainder. You may not use CoAnimator to create or edit:
- Deepfakes. Video depicting a real, identifiable person saying or doing something they did not, presented as though it happened — face replacement, cloned or re-timed voice, fabricated events, and invented endorsements or announcements from a real person, company or public body.
- Adult and sexual content, and above all anything sexual involving a real person who has not consented. Sexual content involving a minor is absolutely prohibited and is reported to the authorities.
- Content that harms people — harassment, intimidation, doxxing, hate or incitement to violence, and extremist or terrorist material.
- Deception for gain — scams, fake giveaways, phishing lures, counterfeit brand campaigns, invented reviews and testimonials, forged official notices, and fabricated election or crisis information.
- Anything unlawful where you are, where your subject is, or where you publish.
Using your own face and voice, or footage of people who agreed to be filmed and agreed to this kind of use, is none of the above — it is the product working as intended. The line is consent, and whether the result is passed off as something that actually happened.
The list is not exhaustive, and the rule behind it matters more than the list: if a use is meant to harm a person, to deceive people about what is real, or to break the law, it is prohibited — whether or not it appears above.
How this is enforced
CoAnimator runs and renders on your machine. We do not receive your projects or your exports, we do not scan them, and there is no cloud pipeline where a filter could sit. That is why your work stays private, and it means this section is backed by the licence rather than by inspection.
Where we judge that something warrants it, we may remove anything we host, suspend or terminate the licence without a refund, decline future sales, and report the matter to law enforcement, preserving and handing over the records we hold where we are required or lawfully permitted to. Which of those we use, and whether we use any, is our judgement on the facts in front of us; nothing here is an undertaking to police what other people make. Concerns can be raised at [email protected], though the platform hosting the content is usually the faster route — they can take a video down, and we cannot.
07Buying, prices and tax
Purchases are processed by Dodo Payments, who act as merchant of record. They are the seller on your transaction, they take the payment, and they collect and remit any sales tax, VAT or GST that is due. Their terms apply to the payment itself; these terms apply to the software you receive.
Prices are shown on the pricing page in US dollars with tax included, so the figure on the page is the figure charged. There is no subscription and nothing recurring: every purchase, including an update renewal or an extra seat, is a one-off charge you make deliberately. Nothing auto-renews, so there is nothing to remember to cancel.
We may change prices at any time. A change never affects a purchase you have already made. If a price or a product description on the site is obviously wrong — a mispriced product, a broken discount — we may decline or reverse the order and refund you in full rather than honour the error.
08Refunds
Most purchases can be refunded within 14 days, with some stated exclusions. The full terms, the exclusions and how to ask are in the Refund Policy, which forms part of this agreement.
09Updates, versions and support
The app checks for new releases and can install them. Updates may add, change or remove features; we do not promise that any particular feature will exist forever, and roadmap statements on this site are intentions, not commitments you can rely on when buying.
Occasionally we set a minimum supported version — where an older build is insecure, or no longer talks correctly to a service it depends on. In that case the app will require an update before continuing. We keep that floor as low as we responsibly can, and it does not extend past your update entitlement into charging you for the privilege.
Support is by email at [email protected]. We answer as quickly as we can. There is no contracted response time or uptime commitment attached to a one-off licence, and none should be inferred.
10The website and the free tools
The free tools on this site are provided as they are, for free, with no guarantee of accuracy, availability or fitness for any purpose. Cost calculators produce estimates, not quotes. Caption and transcription output needs checking before you publish it. We may change or withdraw any of them at any time.
11What we do not warrant
The software and this site are provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the software will be uninterrupted or error free, that it will run on every configuration, or that a given render will succeed on your hardware.
Rendering video is demanding, and it touches your GPU drivers, your codecs and your disk. Keep backups of source material you cannot afford to lose. That advice is not a disclaimer, it is just true.
Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be removed by contract under the law of your country.
12Limits of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential losses, nor for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost goodwill, or lost or corrupted data or media, however caused.
Our total liability arising out of or connected to this agreement is limited to the amount you actually paid us for CoAnimator in the twelve months before the event that gave rise to the claim. If you are on the free tier, you have paid nothing, and that is the measure.
Nothing in this section limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited under applicable law.
13Indemnity
You will indemnify us against claims, damages, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from the videos you make with CoAnimator, from your breach of these terms — the acceptable use section above in particular — and from your infringement of anyone else’s rights. Since we never see your work, we rely on you being the one answerable for it.
14Termination
You can stop using CoAnimator at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these terms — the restrictions and acceptable use sections above in particular — or if we are required to by law.
Where a breach is fixable and not serious, we will tell you and give you a fair chance to fix it first. Where a licence is terminated for abuse, no refund is due. On termination, the licence grant ends and you must stop using the paid build; the sections on your work, liability, indemnity and governing law survive.
15Governing law
This agreement is governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from it is subject to the jurisdiction of the Indian courts, and you and we both submit to them. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory laws in your own country of residence.
16The usual clauses
- Whole agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy are the entire agreement between us about CoAnimator, and replace anything said before.
- Severability. If a clause is unenforceable, it is narrowed to the minimum extent needed, and the rest stands.
- No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not mean we have given up the right to enforce it.
- Assignment. You may not transfer this agreement without our written consent. We may transfer it as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the business.
- Force majeure. Neither side is liable for failures caused by events genuinely outside its control.
- Changes. We may update these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and material changes are announced rather than slipped in. Continuing to use CoAnimator after a change means you accept the new version; if you do not, stop using it. A change never retroactively alters a purchase you have already made.
