Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. The Service contains frames from films across cinema, including mature themes, violence, nudity, and other adult imagery. By creating an account you confirm that you are 18 or older.

If you’re using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

You create an account using your email address or a third-party login (e.g., Google).

You agree to:

• Provide accurate information when you sign up.
• Keep your credentials private. Anything done on your account is your responsibility.
• Notify us promptly if you suspect your account has been compromised.
• Maintain only one personal account. We may suspend accounts that share credentials, use bots, or otherwise circumvent our limits.

FrameThrower offers a free tier with limited usage and paid plans with more features. Current pricing and the features included in each tier are shown on our pricing page.

If you subscribe to a paid plan:

• Billing recurs on the schedule you select (typically monthly or annually) until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time from account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Refunds are at our discretion, except where required by law.
• We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice. Continued use after the change date means you accept the new pricing.
• Payments are processed by our payment provider; we don’t store full payment card details.

You can use the Service for:

• Personal and professional reference, research, and education.
• Building moodboards, pitch decks, treatments, and other creative assemblies for your own film, advertising, photography, design, or related creative work.
• Studying cinematography, lighting, color, composition, period detail, performance, and similar craft.
• Criticism, commentary, and educational discussion.

You may share assemblies of frames as part of your professional work — for example, a pitch deck shown to a client or collaborator — provided you’re using the Service in good faith as a creative professional or researcher.

You agree not to:

• Republish, redistribute, or resell frames as if they were yours.
• Use frames in any work where you claim ownership of the underlying imagery, or in any way that exceeds fair-use principles in your jurisdiction without rights clearance.
• Scrape, mirror, or bulk-download the catalog, or attempt to recreate the Service’s database in whole or in significant part.
• Use the Service or frames obtained through it to train, fine-tune, or otherwise develop machine-learning models without our prior written permission.
• Reverse-engineer the Service or attempt to bypass technical limits, rate limits, paywalls, or access controls.
• Use bots, automated tools, or fake accounts.
• Use the Service to harass, abuse, defame, or harm any person or group.
• Share, create, or assemble any content depicting minors in a sexual or exploitative context.
• Use the Service to violate any law or regulation.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, and we may remove content from your library or moodboards in response to violations or rights-holder complaints.

FrameThrower hosts frames from films we do not own. The frames are stills of existing cinematic works, used as reference material under principles of fair use for research, criticism, education, and creative commentary. We do not claim ownership of any film, character, brand, or imagery depicted in the catalog. Rights remain with the respective studios, directors, cinematographers, and other rights holders.

Your content. Moodboards, libraries, notes, tags, comments, and any original assemblies you create on FrameThrower are yours. You retain all rights to your own content. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, display, store, and process your content solely to provide the Service to you and any people you explicitly share with.

User uploads. If you upload your own imagery to a canvas or moodboard, you represent that you own that content or have the rights to use it on the Service, and you grant us the same limited license described above.

Our brand. The FrameThrower name, logo, design, and software are ours. You may not use them outside the Service without our permission.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to copyright@framethrower.ai that includes:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• The URL or specific location of the alleged infringement on FrameThrower.
• Your contact information (name, email, phone, address).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We review notices in good faith and will remove content that we determine, in good faith, to be infringing. We may also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

What we collect, why, and how we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

In short: we collect what we need to run the Service (your email, account preferences, saves, libraries, and search activity). We don’t sell your data. We use industry providers for hosting, email delivery, and (when applicable) payments, each under their own privacy and security commitments.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We may:

• Add, change, or remove features.
• Add or remove content from the catalog (including in response to copyright complaints).
• Apply technical limits — rate limits, download or export caps, fair-use throttles, and so on.
• Temporarily or permanently discontinue the Service or parts of it.

We do not guarantee uptime, availability, or that the Service will be error-free or uninterrupted.

You can delete your account at any time from settings. Deletion removes your saved content from active use; we may retain backups or aggregated, de-identified data for a reasonable period as described in our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account if:

• You violate these Terms.
• We’re required to by law.
• The Service or a part of it is discontinued.

Before deleting your account, you can export your library, moodboards, and notes from settings.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

You use FrameThrower at your own risk. You are responsible for your own use of frames obtained through the Service, including determining whether your use qualifies as fair use in your jurisdiction or requires separate rights clearance. If you’re considering using a frame in a published commercial work, consult a lawyer about clearances.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FrameThrower and its directors, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or $100, whichever is greater.

You agree to indemnify and hold FrameThrower harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its commercial arbitration rules, conducted in English, in Wilmington, Delaware (or remotely by agreement). Either party may bring a qualifying small-claims-court action in their home jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.

You and FrameThrower each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by email (to the address on your account) and post a notice in the Service or on this page. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use after the change date means you accept the updated Terms.
