Terms & Conditions (Consumers)

For consumers (B2C)

Effective: 16.06.2026

This is a non-binding English translation provided for convenience. In the event of any discrepancy or ambiguity, the German version of this document shall prevail and is solely legally binding.

1. Provider, contracting party & scope

These Terms govern the use of the "Teaser-Factory" software by consumers within the meaning of § 13 of the German Civil Code (BGB). A consumer is any natural person who concludes the subscription for purposes that are predominantly outside their trade, business or profession.

The brand is provided by Picco-Vision UG (haftungsbeschränkt) i.G.; the responsible operating company and licensor is Picco-Studio Production Ltd., Agias Fylaxeos 46, 3025 Limassol, Cyprus ("we"). Full details in the imprint. For entrepreneurs (§ 14 BGB) our separate Terms for businesses (B2B) apply exclusively.

2. Subject matter

Teaser-Factory is desktop software (macOS, Windows, Linux) for AI-assisted video production. We offer a one-month free trial tier (non-commercial, no watermark, 1 project) and paid subscriptions. The scope of functionality depends on the selected plan and a valid license; the unlocked features are determined server-side via a license key.

3. Order processing via Paddle (Merchant of Record)

Our order process is conducted by our reseller Paddle.com (Paddle.com Market Ltd.). Paddle is the Merchant of Record and therefore your contracting party for the payment; Paddle issues the invoice, charges VAT and handles customer-service enquiries as well as returns/refunds. We are solely the licensor of the software. Paddle's buyer terms apply in addition.

4. Prices

All prices are final prices in Euro. The prices shown in the Paddle checkout include any statutory VAT. The price shown in the checkout at the time of the order is decisive.

For ongoing subscriptions, we may adjust the fee for future billing periods if our relevant costs (e.g. for AI/infrastructure services, taxes or payment processing) change. We will announce any price change in text form at least six weeks before it takes effect. If you do not agree with the change, you may cancel the subscription as of the date it takes effect (special right of termination); we will point this out separately in the announcement.

5. Conclusion of contract

By selecting a plan, entering the required data and completing the payment in the Paddle checkout, you submit a binding offer. The contract for the software license is concluded upon provision of the license key or confirmation.

6. Right of withdrawal & early performance

As a consumer you have a statutory right of withdrawal. Details and the model withdrawal form are set out in our withdrawal instructions & refund policy (B2C).

For digital content, your right of withdrawal lapses once we have begun performance after you have expressly consented to us beginning performance before the end of the withdrawal period and have confirmed your knowledge that, by giving such consent, you lose your right of withdrawal upon the start of performance (§ 356 (5) BGB). We obtain this consent expressly during checkout.

7. Term, renewal & cancellation

Subscriptions have the term stated in the checkout (e.g. monthly or with a 12-month initial term). After the initial term, the subscription continues for an indefinite period and may be cancelled by you at any time with a notice period of no more than one month. An already-paid period is not refunded on a pro-rata basis; you retain access until the end of that period.

You can cancel your subscription easily online at any time — via the cancellation button "Cancel contracts here" on our cancellation page (§ 312k BGB) or via the customer portal provided by Paddle. The right to extraordinary termination for good cause remains unaffected.

Where a paid subscription is offered with a free first month and requires payment details to be stored, we will inform you clearly and comprehensibly before you place your order about the price applicable thereafter, the start of the payment obligation and the option to cancel in good time (§ 312a (4) BGB). If you do not cancel before the end of the free month, the subscription automatically converts to the paid term; we will remind you by email in good time before the first charge. If you withdraw during the free month, no fee is charged.

8. License & usage restriction

We grant you a simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to use the software for the duration of the contract solely for private, individual purposes. Consumer plans are limited to use by a single natural person; they do not include team/multi-seat use, user management, or commercial/business team use. Business/commercial team use requires our B2B plans.

In particular, the following are prohibited: transferring, renting, sublicensing or publishing the license key; circumventing the license-based and server-side usage or plan restrictions; commercial use of content created under the free trial tier; and reverse engineering, except where mandatorily permitted by law.

9. Your own AI access & content

For integrated AI models, the software uses your own provider access or keys. You are responsible for complying with the respective providers' terms and for the content you input. You warrant that you will not generate unlawful content.

In particular, it is prohibited to use the software to create or distribute content that violates applicable law, namely: deceptive deepfakes or identity forgery, content for disinformation or election manipulation, depictions of sexual abuse (especially of minors), glorification of violence or discrimination, and content that infringes third-party trademark, copyright or personality rights. Practices prohibited under Art. 5 of the EU AI Act are excluded. You are solely responsible for the lawfulness of the outputs you create and their use; we are entitled to suspend the license upon reasonable suspicion of a serious violation.

10. Warranty

The statutory rights for defects in digital products apply (§§ 327 et seq. BGB), including our obligation to provide updates. Where the software is identifiably in a beta/preview stage, this is disclosed before conclusion of the contract; this does not limit your statutory rights.

We endeavour to keep the license and activation server highly available but do not owe any specific availability or uninterrupted accessibility. Maintenance, third-party disruptions (e.g. hosting, payment provider, AI providers you use) or force majeure may lead to temporary limitations. Your statutory rights for defects remain unaffected by this.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, and to the extent of a guarantee assumed by us. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal duty) whose fulfilment is essential to the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance you may regularly rely; in that case liability is limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

12. Note on AI-generated content

Outputs created with the software may be AI-generated or AI-modified content and may be marked machine-readably accordingly (cf. Art. 50 EU AI Act). You are responsible for the further use and labelling of the outputs.

Insofar as intellectual-property rights exist in the outputs created with the software, we grant you, within the scope of your plan, the rights required for their intended use; for paid subscriptions this includes commercial use, in the free trial tier exclusively private, non-commercial use. Depending on how they are created, AI-generated outputs may not reach the threshold of originality required for copyright and are then not protected by copyright. You are responsible for the rights to the inputs you provide (e.g. texts, images, trademarks, voices) and indemnify us against justified third-party claims in that respect.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms with effect for the future, provided there is a valid reason (e.g. changed legal situation, new features) and the amendment does not unreasonably disadvantage you. We will inform you in text form at least six weeks before the change takes effect. If you do not object within that period, the changes are deemed accepted; we will point out this consequence separately. Otherwise you have a special right of termination.

14. Governing law & jurisdiction

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. If, as a consumer, you have your habitual residence in another EU/EEA state, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your state of residence that cannot be derogated from by agreement remain unaffected. Jurisdiction follows the statutory rules: you may bring proceedings at your place of residence or at our registered seat, and may only be sued at your place of residence.

15. Final provisions & language version

Should any provision be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected. The German version of these Terms is authoritative; the English version is a non-binding translation provided without warranty.

Note: this document is a carefully drafted template, not legal advice. A final review by a German lawyer is recommended before launch.
