Terms / Private beta v1

Terms of use and software licence.

These terms govern the free, invitation-only cinemaOS private beta. Reviewed commercial terms will replace them before any paid subscription is offered.

1. Seller and scope

cinemaOS is supplied by Julien Kerknawi, trading as Momentum Studios, Belgian enterprise number 0648.946.826, VAT BE0648946826 (“Momentum”, “we”, “us”). Registered establishment address: Jules Van Biesbroeckstraat 156, 9050 Gent, Belgium. These terms govern the cinemaOS application, Momentum account, updates, support, trials and paid subscriptions.

2. Account

You must provide a valid email address, protect your password and keep account information accurate. You are responsible for activity under your account unless caused by our failure to secure the service. Notify support@mntm-studios.com promptly about suspected compromise. Accounts may not be sold, shared outside the licensed user or used to evade device, trial or education controls.

3. Trial, referrals and education

• The trial provides Complete features for 14 days and starts when the account email is verified. No card is required during the trial.
• Each independently valid referral code can add 14 days. Distinct rewards stack; duplicate, self, automated or fraudulent referrals do not qualify and may be reversed.
• Verified education users receive Complete while eligible, subject to human review, reasonable evidence and periodic re-verification. Acceptable evidence is a current institution ID, a dated enrollment or employment letter, or an institution-issued email, always with an independent human check by Momentum’s designated reviewer; grants last 30–366 days with re-verification at least annually.

4. Plans, prices and tax

Pro has a base price of €19.99 per month excluding VAT. Complete has a base price of €24.99 per month excluding VAT and includes all features actually available in v1. Applicable VAT is calculated from customer location and added where legally permitted. Consumer-facing purchase screens show the total payable including VAT before confirmation. Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled. During the private beta no paid subscription is offered or charged; beta access is free for the duration of the beta.

5. Payment, cancellation and refunds

Stripe processes payment details; Momentum does not receive full card numbers. You can update payment details, obtain invoices and cancel through the Stripe-hosted billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period unless law requires otherwise. No payment is collected during the private beta, so dunning, refunds and chargebacks do not arise; refund rules, EU withdrawal information and immediate-performance consent for digital services will be published with the commercial terms. Mandatory consumer rights are not limited by these terms.

6. Devices and offline use

One account may activate two Macs at a time. A device must periodically prove possession of its local security key. A signed offline entitlement lasts no more than seven days and never beyond the underlying trial, education or paid access period. You may deactivate a device to free a slot. Circumventing signatures, device limits, account checks or feature gates is prohibited.

7. Licence and acceptable use

While your entitlement is valid, Momentum grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use cinemaOS for lawful creative work. You may not redistribute the application, rent access, extract or misuse private keys, bypass access controls, attack the service, automate account or referral abuse, or use cinemaOS in violation of third-party rights or law. Rights that cannot legally be restricted remain unaffected.

8. Your projects and privacy

You retain ownership of your projects, footage and creative output. cinemaOS licensing does not upload project names, media paths, footage, transcripts or prompts. You are responsible for project backups and rights to source material. Expiry or suspension does not authorize Momentum to encrypt, delete or hold your projects hostage; recovery, relinking, backup and diagnostics remain available as described in the product.

9. Updates and availability

cinemaOS may download signed updates only with your action under the v1 update policy. Security or compatibility may require a minimum build before a new entitlement is issued. We aim to keep account and licensing services available but do not promise uninterrupted operation. Planned v1 limitations and unavailable features must not be treated as delivered commitments.

10. Suspension and termination

We may suspend new entitlements for confirmed payment failure, compromised credentials, material breach, fraud or security risk, using proportionate review where practicable. You may stop using cinemaOS and request account deletion. Project recovery remains available. Account deletion requests are honoured within 30 days; suspensions can be appealed via support@mntm-studios.com.

11. Warranty and liability

cinemaOS is professional creative software and output must be reviewed before delivery. The private beta is provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty to the extent Belgian law permits. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Governing law and disputes

Belgian law applies, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections in their country of residence. Registered establishment address: Jules Van Biesbroeckstraat 156, 9050 Gent, Belgium. Subject to mandatory consumer venue rules, the courts of Ghent, Belgium are competent; EU consumers may also use the European Commission ODR platform.

13. Contact and changes

Support: support@mntm-studios.com. Privacy: privacy@mntm-studios.com. Material changes will be versioned and presented for acceptance when required; they will not silently rewrite an already accepted version.
