S-Roll Terms and Use Guidelines

These are the rules for using S-Roll. The app is developed and published by Ritik Bompilwar. Saliency is the name I use for this work, not a separate company. By using S-Roll, you agree to follow these guidelines.

1. Age and agreement

S-Roll is only for adults aged 18 years or older. By downloading S-Roll, creating an account, signing in, or using the app, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and agree to these Terms and Use Guidelines. If you are under 18, you may not download, create an account for, or use S-Roll.

2. Your content and your clips

You keep ownership of the videos, audio, images, and other material you bring into S-Roll. As between you and me, you also own the clips, captions, titles, and other output you export, including for commercial use. I claim no copyright or ownership in your content or your exported work.

S-Roll cannot give you rights you did not already have. An exported clip may still contain someone else’s music, footage, logo, voice, likeness, or other protected material from the source video. Ownership of the exported file does not clear those third-party rights.

3. You are responsible for what you use and publish

Only use material you own or have permission to use. You are responsible for copyright, trademark, music licensing, privacy, publicity rights, recording consent, and any other rules that apply to your footage and publication. You are also responsible for the rules of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or any other place where you post a clip.

S-Roll makes automated suggestions and can get transcripts, cuts, framing, titles, and captions wrong. Review every clip before publishing it. You decide what to export and where it goes.

4. Acceptable use

Do not use S-Roll to create, promote, or distribute content that:

• breaks the law or infringes another person’s rights;
• is sexually exploitative, pornographic, or involves the exploitation of minors;
• is hateful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or deliberately harmful;
• is fraudulent, deceptive, or intended to impersonate someone without permission;
• violates someone’s privacy or uses their voice or likeness without the rights required; or
• contains malware or is intended to interfere with S-Roll or another service.

5. Your account

Use your own Google or Apple account, provide accurate information, and keep access to that account secure. Do not impersonate another person or use S-Roll to evade a block. I may limit or end access if an account breaks these guidelines, creates a security risk, or is used unlawfully. You can delete your S-Roll account from the app.

6. Using the app

You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use S-Roll on Macs you own or control. You may use your exported clips commercially. You may not resell, redistribute, or sublicense the app itself, bypass access controls, or reverse engineer it except where the law expressly allows that activity.

7. Privacy and local processing

Video processing runs on your Mac. Account information and basic product analytics are handled as described in the S-Roll Privacy page. The app includes open-source components and downloads model files that have their own licenses; those notices are included with S-Roll.

8. Updates and availability

I may add, change, or remove features, publish updates, or stop offering S-Roll. A version with a serious security or correctness problem may be required to update before it continues. An update does not upload or delete your local projects and clips.

9. No promises about results

S-Roll is provided as available and without warranties. I do not promise that it will always work, stay available, produce accurate results, or be suitable for a particular project. Keep backups of important source files and exports. S-Roll is an editing tool, not a storage or archival service.

10. Responsibility for claims

If a third party brings a claim against me because of content you processed or published, because you lacked the required rights, because you used S-Roll unlawfully, or because you broke these guidelines, you agree to defend and indemnify Ritik Bompilwar for the resulting losses, costs, and reasonable legal fees, to the extent the law allows. I will notify you of the claim and reasonably cooperate with the response.

11. Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, I am not responsible for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential losses connected with S-Roll or its output, including lost data, footage, revenue, profit, opportunity, or goodwill. My total liability for all claims connected with S-Roll is limited to the amount you paid for S-Roll during the 12 months before the claim. If you paid nothing, that amount is USD 0. These limits do not reduce any rights or exclude any liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded where you live.

12. Changes and contact

I may update these guidelines as S-Roll changes. The current version and update date will remain on this page. Questions, complaints, or copyright concerns can be sent to ritik@saliency.dev.
