Terms of Use

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) and legally capable of entering into an agreement to use the Services.

If you use SquidSwift on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Use of SquidSwift

You may use SquidSwift only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

You must not misuse the Services, attempt unauthorized access to our systems, interfere with the operation or security of the Services, distribute malware or malicious code, circumvent security measures, abuse automated functionality, or use the Services for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

You must not use SquidSwift to create or distribute content that is illegal, infringes the intellectual-property rights of others, violates anyone’s privacy or publicity rights, harasses or defames others, sexually exploits minors, or is intended to deceive, including manipulated media presented as genuine in order to mislead or cause harm.

3. Your Content

You keep all rights, title, and interest in the videos, images, audio, projects, and other content you import, create, edit, or export with SquidSwift (“Your Content”). Desoline claims no ownership over Your Content.

SquidSwift processes Your Content locally on your PC. Desoline does not receive, review, or use Your Content, including for AI model training.

You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring that 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 required by law.

4. Software License

SquidSwift is provided free of charge. Your download, installation, and use of the SquidSwift software are governed by the SquidSwift End User License Agreement, which sets out your license to use the software and its restrictions. These Terms do not grant a separate software license, and where these Terms and the EULA differ regarding the software, the EULA applies.

Videos you export with SquidSwift are yours to use, including commercially, and carry no SquidSwift watermark or branding requirement.

5. Distribution

The SquidSwift Windows application is distributed as a direct download from squidswift.com. The SquidSwift installer is served from downloads.squidswift.com, hosted on Cloudflare R2 on behalf of squidswift.com. It is not distributed through the Microsoft Store, and copies of SquidSwift are not obtained through the Microsoft Store.

Download SquidSwift only from squidswift.com or the download links on it. Desoline is not responsible for copies obtained from any other source, which may be modified or unsafe.

Desoline is solely responsible for SquidSwift and for providing support for it.

6. AI Features and Media Import

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.

7. Intellectual Property

SquidSwift and its website, software, designs, graphics, logos, trademarks, text, templates, effects, and other proprietary materials (excluding Your Content) are owned by Desoline or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Templates, effects, transitions, and other assets included with SquidSwift may be used in videos you create with SquidSwift, but may not be extracted, redistributed, or sold on their own.

Your use of SquidSwift does not transfer ownership of any Desoline intellectual property to you.

8. Third-Party Components and Services

SquidSwift may include open-source or third-party components that are licensed under their own terms, and may rely on media codecs provided by Windows or other parties. Your use of those components may be subject to their licenses.

SquidSwift may link to or help you share content on third-party websites, platforms, or services. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the availability, operation, security, or content of third-party services.

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, your use of that service is governed by Massive's terms and privacy policy, and Massive, not Desoline, provides it. See the Optional Bandwidth Sharing (Massive) section of our Privacy Policy and Section 6 of the End User License Agreement for what Massive does and how to stop or uninstall it.

9. Updates and Changes to the Service

We may update, modify, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue features of SquidSwift at any time. The software may receive updates, bug fixes, performance improvements, security updates, or other modifications.

New versions of SquidSwift are published on squidswift.com.

10. Uninstalling and Termination

You may stop using SquidSwift at any time and uninstall it under Windows Settings → Apps → Installed apps. Uninstalling does not delete your own media or project files.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Services when reasonably necessary, including for violations of these Terms, suspected fraudulent activity, abuse, security threats, legal requirements, or conduct that could harm our Services or other users.

11. Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SquidSwift and its Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device, graphics card, or media format, error-free operation, or that every defect will be corrected. You are responsible for keeping backups of your media and project files.

Nothing in these Terms excludes consumer rights or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Desoline and its owners, affiliates, employees, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Services, including loss of data, projects, or media files.

For the SquidSwift software, the limitations of liability and the liability cap in Section 10 (Limitation of Liability) of the End User License Agreement apply.

These limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law and do not limit rights or liabilities that legally cannot be excluded.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Desoline from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses resulting from Your Content, your unlawful use of the Services, or your material violation of these Terms.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms periodically. Updated Terms will be published on squidswift.com with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice regarding material changes.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections that may apply in your country of residence.

Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yaffo, Israel, except where applicable consumer law provides otherwise.
