End User License Agreement

Last Updated: 01/11/2026

This End User License Agreement governs your download, installation, and use of the SquidSwift software. Use of the squidswift.com website is governed by our separate Terms of Use.

1. Agreement

THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE PRIVACY POLICY WHICH IS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE, SETS FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT (“AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN YOU (AN INDIVIDUAL) AND DESOLINE INC. (“DESOLINE”, “US”, “OUR” OR “WE”). THIS AGREEMENT GOVERNS YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SQUIDSWIFT SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS, INCLUDING ITS INSTALLER, UPDATES, OPTIONAL CONTENT PACKS, AND DOCUMENTATION (THE “SOFTWARE”), AND ANY ACCOMPANYING FEATURES AND SERVICES WE OFFER THROUGH IT (TOGETHER, THE “SERVICES”). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR USING THE SOFTWARE YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE. DESOLINE RESERVES ALL RIGHTS IN THE SERVICES THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

2. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, Desoline grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software, free of charge, on devices that you own or are authorized to administer, for your personal or internal business purposes, including creating videos for commercial use.

The Software is licensed, not sold. Desoline and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Software and the Services.

3. Eligibility

You may not use the Services if you are under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country to consent to the use of online services), or if you are not the owner or approved administrator of the device on which you install the Software.

4. Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or by applicable law that cannot be excluded by contract, you may not:

  • copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Software;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
  • sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise make the Software available to third parties, or bundle it with other software;
  • extract, redistribute, or sell the templates, effects, transitions, or other assets included with the Software on their own, separately from videos you create with it;
  • remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on the Software;
  • circumvent or disable any security or technical features of the Software; or
  • use the Software for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.

5. Your Videos and How You Use SquidSwift

You retain all rights, title, and interest in the videos, images, audio, projects, and other content you import, record, create, edit, or export using the Software (“Your Content”). We claim no ownership over Your Content. The Software edits and renders Your Content locally on your device, and Desoline does not receive it or use it, including for AI model training. Videos you export carry no SquidSwift watermark or branding requirement and are yours to use, including commercially.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have all rights and permissions needed to use, edit, publish, and share it, including any music, footage, fonts, or other third-party material you include, and the consent of people who appear in your recordings where the law requires it.

You must not use the Software to create or distribute content that is illegal, infringes the rights of others, harasses or defames anyone, sexually exploits minors, or is intended to deceive, including manipulated media presented as genuine in order to mislead or cause harm.

AI-assisted features such as auto-captions, speech transcription, and background removal run on your device by default and produce automated results that may contain errors. If you choose to enable optional cloud transcription with your own API key for an OpenAI-compatible service (such as OpenAI or Groq), the audio you transcribe is sent to the provider you choose and is processed under that provider’s terms and privacy policy; Desoline does not receive it. You are responsible for reviewing AI output before you publish it.

If you import media from a URL (for example from YouTube, Instagram, or Vimeo), SquidSwift downloads it directly from that site to your PC. You are responsible for having the rights to the media you import and for complying with the terms of the platform it comes from.

6. Optional Third-Party Component: Massive (Windows Only)

The SquidSwift Windows installer offers an optional service from Massive (Massive Computing, Inc., joinmassive.com) that helps keep SquidSwift free. Massive is offered on its own “Massive Service” setup page, shown after the license agreement, with Accept and Decline buttons. Massive is set up only if you select Accept. Decline and Massive isn’t set up — SquidSwift works exactly the same.

If you accept, Massive uses a small amount of your PC’s unused processing power, storage and bandwidth, and your IP address, to run distributed tasks for Massive’s business customers, such as indexing the web and scientific simulations. This includes routing publicly available web traffic through your internet connection, so the websites reached this way see your IP address. This may increase electricity consumption or reduce battery life and network performance. Massive enforces technical and policy restrictions to prevent malicious use of resources.

SquidSwift keeps running in the Windows system tray after you close its main window, and Massive may keep operating in the background while SquidSwift is running. The setup option “Start SquidSwift when you sign in (runs in the tray)” is ticked by default, so unless you untick it SquidSwift also starts in the tray each time you sign in to Windows; you can switch this off at any time with “Start with Windows” in SquidSwift’s “...” menu.

You can pause or stop Massive at any time with the “Share spare bandwidth (Massive)” switch in SquidSwift’s “...” menu, and selecting Quit from the SquidSwift tray icon stops Massive immediately. Massive has its own entry in Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps, where you can uninstall it without uninstalling SquidSwift. Uninstalling SquidSwift also removes Massive.

Massive is provided by Massive Computing, Inc., not by Desoline, under Massive's own terms of service and privacy policy, which you accept directly with Massive if you choose to join; Massive's FAQ explains how it works. Massive acts as an independent controller of the traffic it routes. See also how SquidSwift handles your Massive choice.

7. Privacy and Usage Data

We value your privacy.

SquidSwift asks on first run whether to send crash reports, and the same choice covers its launch ping. Nothing is sent unless you opt in. If you opt in, each time SquidSwift starts it sends a small launch ping over HTTPS containing the app name, a random install identifier (generated and stored on your PC), the event type (first start or start), the app version, and your operating system name (for example “windows”, without a version number), so we can count installations and monitor stability.

If you opt in and SquidSwift crashes, it sends a crash report to Sentry, a crash-reporting service that processes it on our behalf. A crash report contains the app version, your operating system, and a stack trace, with file paths removed. The launch ping and crash reports do not include your videos, images, audio, project files, file names, captions, transcripts, or any other project content. You can change your choice at any time from the Help menu in SquidSwift.

The Software does not read your screen or record your keystrokes, except while you use its screen-recording feature. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details of our data practices.

8. Updates and Changes

We may provide updates, patches, or new versions of the Software, and we may change, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time. Updates are governed by this Agreement unless they come with separate terms.

We may amend this Agreement from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date above, and where a change is material we will provide reasonable notice, for example on our website or within the Software. Your continued use of the Software after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Agreement. If you do not agree to the amended Agreement, you must stop using and uninstall the Software.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SOFTWARE AND THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DESOLINE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY DEVICE, GRAPHICS CARD, OR MEDIA FORMAT, OR THAT AI-GENERATED RESULTS SUCH AS CAPTIONS, TRANSCRIPTS, OR BACKGROUND REMOVAL WILL BE ACCURATE IN EVERY CASE. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING BACKUPS OF YOUR MEDIA AND PROJECT FILES.

10. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CREATION, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, PROMOTION, OR MARKETING OF THE SERVICES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, RELIANCE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, PROJECTS, MEDIA FILES, OR PROFITS, OR FOR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE OR SUCH OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUCH LIMITATION SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU AND ANY OTHER PARTY, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, EXCEED FIFTY DOLLARS ($50.00) FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, AND OTHER THEORIES OF LIABILITY.

Desoline is not liable for third-party services, including Massive and any platforms or services you use to publish or share your videos.

Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for willful misconduct, or any statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived by contract.

11. Term and Termination

This Agreement remains in effect until terminated. You may terminate it at any time by uninstalling the Software. Uninstalling does not delete your own media or project files. We may suspend or terminate your license if you breach this Agreement. Upon termination you must stop using and uninstall the Software. Sections 2 (ownership), 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, and 13 survive termination.

12. Export and Sanctions

You may not use, export, or re-export the Software in violation of any applicable export-control or sanctions laws, or if you are located in, or a resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, or are listed on any government restricted-party list.

13. General

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the policies referred to in it, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Software and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding its subject matter.

Notifications. We may be required by applicable law to notify you of certain events. You acknowledge and consent that such notices will be effective upon our posting them on our website or through the Software, or delivering them to you by email where you have provided us with an email address.

Assignment. We may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to an affiliate or to any third party, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets. You may not assign, sublicense, or delegate your rights under this Agreement.

Governing Law. This Agreement and the relationship between you and Desoline Inc. shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to its choice of law rules. Any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Software shall be filed exclusively in the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yaffo, and you consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, and if you are a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence or your right to bring proceedings there. There are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

Severability; No Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions remain in full force and effect. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Limitation Period. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Software or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after it arose or be forever barred.
