Last updated: March 20, 2026

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Lychee Video Ltd ("Lychee," "we," "us," or "our"), a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal place of business at the address on file.

By accessing or using the Lychee platform at lychee.video (the "Service"), including any associated applications, APIs, and features, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated herein by reference.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, and are not barred from using the Service under any applicable law.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and "you" refers to both you individually and the organization.

3. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account by authenticating through a supported third-party provider (currently Google OAuth). You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activities that occur under your account
  • Notifying us immediately at founder@lychee.video of any unauthorized use

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, including but not limited to violations of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

4. Description of Service

Lychee is an AI-powered video generation platform that enables users to create animated explainer videos from text-based prompts. The Service uses artificial intelligence technologies provided by third parties (including but not limited to Anthropic, Google, and ElevenLabs) to generate scripts, illustrations, voiceovers, animations, and other content.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

5. User Content

"User Content" means any content you submit, upload, or provide to the Service, including but not limited to text prompts, brand assets, product images, character references, website URLs, and any edits or modifications you make to AI-generated outputs.

You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights you hold in your original User Content (e.g., brand assets you upload). However, by submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Lychee a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such User Content in connection with:

  • Operating, maintaining, and improving the Service
  • Developing new features, products, and services
  • Training, fine-tuning, and improving AI models and algorithms
  • Marketing, promotional, and advertising purposes (including showcasing generated videos as examples)
  • Aggregated analytics and research (in anonymized or de-identified form)

This license survives termination of your account. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that your User Content does not infringe upon any third party's intellectual property or other rights.

6. AI-Generated Content

"Generated Content" means any content created by the Service in response to your User Content, including scripts, illustrations, voiceovers, animations, and assembled videos.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of applicable fees, Lychee grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Generated Content for your personal or internal business purposes. This license is subject to the following conditions:

  • You shall not represent Generated Content as solely human-created where disclosure of AI involvement is required by applicable law
  • Lychee retains a perpetual, royalty-free license to all Generated Content for the purposes described in Section 5
  • Generated Content may be similar or identical to content generated for other users — Lychee does not guarantee uniqueness or exclusivity

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS REGARDING AI-GENERATED CONTENT:

  • AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, biases, or hallucinations. You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing all Generated Content before use.
  • Lychee makes no representation or warranty that Generated Content is accurate, complete, original, non-infringing, or fit for any particular purpose.
  • Lychee makes no representation or warranty regarding the intellectual property status of Generated Content. AI-generated images, text, and audio may inadvertently resemble copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise protected works. You are solely responsible for conducting appropriate intellectual property clearance before using Generated Content commercially.
  • You assume all risk associated with your use of Generated Content, including but not limited to risks related to accuracy, legality, intellectual property infringement, defamation, and privacy violations.

7. Prohibited Uses

You agree to comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

8. Fees and Payment

Certain features of the Service may require payment of fees. All fees are stated in U.S. dollars, are non-refundable except as required by applicable law, and do not include applicable taxes.

We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. If we change pricing for a subscription you have already purchased, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before the new price takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

Free-tier accounts are subject to usage limits as described on our pricing page. We may modify free-tier limits at any time without notice.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party artificial intelligence and cloud services, including but not limited to:

  • Anthropic (Claude) — script generation and animation composition
  • Google (Gemini, Veo) — illustration and video generation
  • ElevenLabs — voiceover and audio generation
  • Supabase — data storage and authentication

Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and policies of these third-party providers. Lychee is not responsible for any act or omission of any third-party service provider. We do not control and are not liable for the availability, accuracy, or quality of third-party services. Outages, limitations, or changes to third-party services may affect the Service without liability to Lychee.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, design, text, graphics, interfaces, and underlying technology, is owned by Lychee and protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited license to use it in accordance with these Terms.

"Lychee," the Lychee logo, and all related names, logos, product and service names, designs, and slogans are trademarks of Lychee or its affiliates. You may not use such marks without prior written permission.

11. DMCA and Copyright Complaints

If you believe that content available on or through the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our designated agent at founder@lychee.video containing:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
  • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail for us to locate it
  • Your contact information
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf

We will respond to valid DMCA notices in accordance with applicable law, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content and, in appropriate circumstances, terminating repeat infringers' accounts.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, LYCHEE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; (B) THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR COMPLETE; (C) AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE FREE OF ERRORS, BIASES, INACCURACIES, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT; OR (D) ANY DEFECTS IN THE SERVICE WILL BE CORRECTED.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICE UTILIZES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE INHERENTLY PROBABILISTIC AND MAY PRODUCE UNEXPECTED, INACCURATE, OR INAPPROPRIATE RESULTS. YOU USE THE SERVICE AND ALL GENERATED CONTENT ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LYCHEE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARTNERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL LYCHEE'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO LYCHEE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100.00).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF LYCHEE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lychee and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Service
  • Your User Content
  • Your use or distribution of any Generated Content
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights
  • Any claim that your User Content or use of Generated Content caused damage to a third party

This indemnification obligation survives termination of your account and these Terms.

15. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-current rules.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND LYCHEE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.

Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND LYCHEE HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to founder@lychee.video within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that arbitration does not apply, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the State of Delaware.

17. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

18. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms.

Upon termination: (a) your license to use the Service immediately ceases; (b) we may delete your account and any associated data; and (c) Sections 5, 6, 12–16, and 18–20 shall survive termination.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at founder@lychee.video. Termination does not entitle you to any refund of fees paid.

19. General Provisions

  • Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Lychee.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
  • No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
  • Force Majeure. Lychee shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, strikes, government actions, internet or infrastructure failures, or third-party service outages.
