Terms of Service

Last updated: 18 October 2026

1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and Elias Alsos, a private individual based in Norway ("we", "us"), who runs VODSpark. By creating an account or using VODSpark you agree to them. Our Privacy Policy explains what data we keep and why.

2. Your account

• You sign up with an email address and a password. Give us an email address you can receive mail at: we use it to confirm your account and to let you reset your password.
• Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use VODSpark. If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian to buy a paid plan.

3. What you may clip

Only upload or link videos that you own or have permission to use. This includes the right to copy, edit and publish clips from them. Following the rules of the platform a video came from (Kick, Twitch, YouTube or anywhere else) and copyright law is your responsibility.

• VODSpark never bypasses access controls. It does not get around logins, paywalls, DRM, region locks, or age, membership or bot checks. If a link can't be processed, upload a file you have the right to use instead.
• If we receive a credible complaint that content in your account infringes someone's rights, we may remove it and may suspend your account. Send copyright complaints to [email protected], with a link to the content, what you own, and how to reach you.

4. What VODSpark does, and doesn't do

• VODSpark scans the videos you give it, suggests moments that may make good clips, and prepares subtitled clips for you to review, edit and download.
• VODSpark never posts on your behalf. You decide what, if anything, gets published, and you are responsible for what you post.
• Suggestions, transcripts, subtitles, titles and optional AI reviews are produced automatically and can be wrong. Check every clip before you use it. We don't promise any number of clips, views or followers.

5. Who owns what

You keep whatever rights you have in the videos you provide and the clips you make. You give us permission to store, copy and process that content only as needed to run VODSpark for you (for example to transcribe it, render clips and keep your files available). That permission ends when the content is deleted.

We own the VODSpark software, name and logo. You may not copy or resell the service itself.

6. Plans, limits and payment

• VODSpark has a Free plan and paid plans (currently Creator and Pro). Each plan has limits, such as processing minutes per month, longest video, storage, upload size, clips per video, AI reviews and how long source videos are kept. The current limits are shown on the Plans section of the site and may change.
• Processing minutes are counted when a job starts. If a job fails, or you cancel it before the analysis begins, those minutes are given back.
• The Free plan costs nothing and needs no card. Current prices for paid plans, in US dollars:

  Plan	Monthly	Yearly
  Creator	$19 per month	$190 per year
  Pro	$49 per month	$490 per year

  The amount you are charged is the one shown at checkout.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. Paid plans are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each monthly or yearly period until you cancel.
• You can change plans, update your card or cancel in the Stripe billing portal (from Billing in the app). If you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for and then doesn't renew. If you switch plans mid-period, Stripe adjusts the charge for the time remaining (proration).
• Refunds: if you're not happy, email [email protected] within 14 days of the first payment for a subscription and we'll refund it in full, no questions asked. This also covers your right of withdrawal under Norwegian and EU consumer law. After that, payments aren't refunded, but you can cancel at any time and keep your plan until the end of the period you've paid for. Where the law gives you more rights, those apply.
• Taxes: we don't currently charge VAT or sales tax, so the price shown is the price you pay. If that changes, any tax will be shown at checkout before you pay.
• We may change prices. If the price of your subscription goes up, we'll email you at least 30 days before. The new price applies from your first renewal after that, and you can cancel before then.

7. Watermarks

Clips made on the Free plan always carry the VODSpark watermark. On Creator it is optional; on Pro it is optional and you can use your own logo and brand name instead. Don't try to remove a required watermark by editing requests or files in ways the app doesn't offer.

8. Acceptable use

Don't use VODSpark to:

• process content you don't have the rights to, or content that is illegal;
• get around plan limits, watermark rules or security measures;
• interfere with the service or other users, or try to access accounts or files that aren't yours;
• overload the service with automated requests.

9. Storage and deletion

• Source videos and working files (such as extracted audio) are deleted automatically once a project is older than your plan's retention period. Transcripts and exported clips stay until you delete them or your account.
• Keep your own copies of clips you care about. VODSpark is not a backup service.

10. Ending your account

• You can delete your account at any time under Settings. This cancels your Stripe subscription, stops any running work and deletes your projects, files, exports and account data.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. We'll normally warn you by email first and give you a chance to fix the problem, unless the breach is serious (for example illegal content or abuse of the service) or the law requires us to act straight away. If we close your account when you haven't broken these terms, we'll refund the unused part of any period you've paid for.

11. Disclaimers and liability

• We work hard to keep VODSpark running and accurate, but it's provided as it is. We can't promise that it will always be available, that every moment it finds is the best one, or that any clip will get views.
• Keep your own copies of anything important. Exports stay in your account until you delete them, but source videos are removed after your plan's retention period.
• As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect losses (such as lost income or lost opportunities), and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem.
• Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that can't be taken away by contract, or our responsibility for losses caused intentionally or by gross negligence.

12. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will tell you before it takes effect by email and with a notice in the app. Continuing to use VODSpark after that means you accept the new terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by Norwegian law. If something goes wrong, please contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to fix it. If we can't agree, you can get free help and mediation from the Norwegian Consumer Council (Forbrukerrådet). Disputes are settled by the Norwegian courts, but if you're a consumer living elsewhere, you keep any right your local law gives you to bring a case where you live.
