AnimJS Terms of Service

Last updated: November 9, 2026

1. Who we are and how these Terms apply

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern AnimJS, also called Explainer Studio, at https://animjs.com and https://studio.animjs.com, including our hosted sharing, rendering, and related services (the “Service”). The Service is operated by Spacer Nation Technologies, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“AnimJS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Our mailing address is 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.

By affirmatively accepting these Terms when registering or purchasing, you agree to them. If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization. If you do not agree, do not create an account or purchase a subscription. Our Privacy Policy explains our personal-information practices; accepting these Terms does not constitute consent to optional analytics or marketing.

Section 18 contains a binding individual arbitration agreement and class-action waiver, subject to exceptions and a 30-day opt-out. It affects how disputes are resolved.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16, or the higher minimum age required where you live. If you have not reached the age of legal majority, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf and permit your use. The Service is not directed to children under 13.

Provide accurate account information, protect your credentials, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access to legal@animjs.com. You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account, but this does not make you responsible for security failures attributable to us or override applicable law. Do not use another person’s account without permission. Temporary guest access may depend on your browser session; save and download work you need to retain.

3. What the Service provides

AnimJS helps create animated explainer videos for education and training. You can enter prompts or upload PDFs or images, use AI to draft scripts, scenes, diagrams, and SVG graphics, edit projects, and optionally generate AI voiceovers. Projects use an open .json scene format. Available features include downloading .json files, using the self-hostable <explainer-player>, sharing hosted links or embeds, and exporting server-rendered MP4 videos, subject to plan limits.

AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or similar to output produced for other users. Review and verify it before use or publication, especially for educational, medical, legal, financial, safety, or engineering purposes. The Service does not provide professional advice or certify that materials meet educational, regulatory, accessibility, or professional standards.

4. Your content and output rights

“Your Content” includes your prompts, uploads, scripts, scenes, audio, and other materials you submit or create through the Service. You retain your rights in your inputs. You must have the rights, permissions, and lawful basis necessary to submit and use Your Content, including personal information about other people.

As between you and us, we assign to you all rights, title, and interest that we have, if any, in the generated content contained in your exported .json and MP4 outputs. You may use those outputs commercially on every plan, including Free. This assignment does not transfer our underlying software, player, models, trademarks, or third-party materials. We do not promise that AI-generated material qualifies for copyright, is unique, or is free of third-party rights. Your use remains subject to rights in source materials, fonts, and other third-party components.

You grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, transmit, process, adapt for technical purposes, and render Your Content only as needed to provide the Service, including publishing the hosted links or embeds you choose to share. We may permit our service providers to exercise these rights only to perform those functions for us. This license does not authorize advertising use of Your Content or model training. It ends when the relevant content is deleted, except for limited retention and processing described in the Privacy Policy or required by law.

5. Player and third-party licenses

We grant you a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to copy and self-host the web player and use it to display your exported files, including commercially. This license does not require an active paid subscription. Preserve applicable copyright and license notices. Rights not expressly granted remain with their owners.

Third-party components retain their own licenses. Inter fonts are provided under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; applicable DejaVu components are provided under the Bitstream Vera and Arev licenses. Those licenses control the relevant components, including permitted redistribution and modification. The player loads fonts from the public jsDelivr CDN by default; you can configure local fonts instead. A self-hosted player does not itself request data from our servers, but CDN font requests are separate third-party requests.

6. Sharing, exports, and storage

When you publish a hosted link or embed, people with access to it may view, copy, or redistribute the material. Do not publish information you intend to keep confidential. Removing material from our Service cannot remove copies already downloaded or stored elsewhere.

Hosted share pages and embeds are free for normal use. If a deployment creates unusually high traffic or materially burdens the Service, we may ask you to self-host. Where practical, we will give notice and an opportunity to migrate before limiting hosted delivery; immediate limits may be needed to protect availability or security.

MP4 exports are retained for 7 days on Free and 30 days on paid plans, measured from export creation. Projects are retained until you delete them or your account, subject to legal retention and the Privacy Policy. Download files you want to keep. Hosted delivery and export storage are not permanent archival services.

7. Plans, allowances, and prices

Prices are in U.S. dollars, exclusive of applicable taxes, which are disclosed before payment.

Plan	Monthly billing	Annual billing	Monthly allowances	MP4 output
Free	$0	$0	5 MP4 minutes; AI availability as disclosed in the app	720p, watermark
Creator	$9	$90	200 AI credits; 40 MP4 minutes	1080p, no watermark
Pro	$19	$190	600 AI credits; 120 MP4 minutes	1080p, no watermark
Team	$49 total, not per seat	$490 total, not per seat	Seats and allowances disclosed before purchase	As disclosed before purchase

Annual prices are charged annually, not monthly. Allowances reset monthly even on annual plans and do not roll over. There are no free trials or add-on purchases. Credits and export minutes are usage allowances, not money or transferable stored value.

The app’s usage and purchase disclosures specify applicable reset dates, operation costs, and export metering. Material limits and charges must be disclosed before you purchase or initiate the affected operation. We will correct erroneous usage deductions reported to us. Contact legal@animjs.com if you believe a usage counter is incorrect.

Your checkout identifies the selected plan, charge, billing interval, and applicable limits. A specific offer we expressly make at checkout controls over a conflicting general price in these Terms for that purchase. We will not retroactively change an agreed charge.

8. Automatic renewal, changes, and cancellation

Paid subscriptions automatically renew for successive monthly or annual periods, according to your selection, until canceled. With your express authorization at checkout, Stripe charges your payment method the disclosed subscription price plus applicable taxes at each renewal. We provide an acknowledgment of the subscription terms and legally required renewal reminders and notices.

You can cancel renewal at any time through the app’s billing settings and Stripe Customer Portal. Cancellation stops the next renewal; paid access continues through the current paid billing period. Cancel before the next renewal charge to avoid that charge. If the cancellation process is unavailable, promptly contact legal@animjs.com for assistance. You do not need to delete your account to cancel. Account deletion will also end future subscription renewals; accrued lawful charges remain due.

Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated charges disclosed before confirmation. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period. Stripe may automatically retry failed payments. If payment is not recovered, we may move the account to Free after appropriate notice and subject to applicable law.

We may change subscription prices for a future renewal with at least 30 days’ advance notice, or any longer or differently timed notice required by law. The notice will explain the change and how to cancel. Changes will not increase the price for an already paid period. Where affirmative consent is required, we will obtain it before charging the changed amount.

9. Refunds and consumer cancellation rights

Except as required by law or expressly promised by us, subscription payments are nonrefundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods, unused credits, or unused export minutes. This does not limit remedies for unauthorized or erroneous charges, failure to provide the Service, or statutory cancellation, withdrawal, or refund rights. Contact legal@animjs.com about a billing problem.

If we permanently discontinue a paid Service or terminate your paid account for reasons other than your material breach, we will refund the prepaid fees for the unused portion of the affected subscription period. A consumer’s mandatory local rights prevail over a conflicting provision of these Terms. Acceptance of these Terms alone does not waive any statutory withdrawal right; any legally required request for early performance or acknowledgment must be obtained separately.

10. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service to violate law or another person’s rights; distribute malware; exploit or sexually abuse children; threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate; commit fraud or deceptive impersonation; or publish content without required intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity permissions. Do not bypass security, payment, watermarks, or plan limits; create accounts to evade limits or suspension; interfere with the Service; or access systems or data without authorization. Restrictions on reverse engineering apply only to the extent permitted by law and do not restrict rights granted by applicable open-source licenses.

Do not submit highly sensitive regulated information, such as protected health information requiring a business associate agreement, unless we have separately agreed in writing to support that use. The Service is not designed for emergency response or autonomous decisions whose failure could cause death or serious injury. You are responsible for lawful disclosure and labeling of AI-generated content when required.

11. Our intellectual property and service changes

We and our licensors retain rights in the Service and its underlying software, designs, and trademarks. Subject to these Terms, you may access and use the Service for its intended functions. No trademark license is granted.

We may maintain, improve, or modify the Service. We will give reasonable notice of material reductions to paid functionality where practical, and provide any remedies required by law. Third-party services may have separate terms. Their terms do not reduce our obligations to you under these Terms.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time, subject to Section 8 for billing. We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, unlawful use, an unresolved payment failure, or a material security risk, or when legally required. Where practical and lawful, we will explain the reason and give an opportunity to remedy a remediable breach. Immediate action may be necessary to prevent harm or comply with law. You may request review at legal@animjs.com.

After termination, hosted access and sharing may end and content will be handled under the Privacy Policy. Where lawful and practicable, we will allow a reasonable opportunity to retrieve content before deletion. Exported-output rights and the perpetual self-hosted-player license survive termination; termination does not authorize unlawful use. Provisions intended by their nature to survive, including accrued payment obligations, ownership, liability limits, and dispute resolution, survive.

13. Copyright complaints

Respect others’ copyrights when providing inputs and publishing output. AI generation does not establish that a result is free of third-party rights. We review copyright complaints and may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material. We terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Send copyright complaints to support@animjs.com with the subject “AnimJS copyright complaint,” or by mail to Copyright Complaints, Spacer Nation Technologies, LLC, 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States.

Please identify the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material with enough information to locate it, provide your contact details and physical or electronic signature, state your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law, and state that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner. Consider applicable exceptions, including fair use, before making a complaint.

If you believe removal was a mistake or you have permission to use the material, reply to the removal notice or contact the same address with supporting information. We will review the response and may request additional information or restore access where appropriate. If a statutory notice-and-counter-notice process applies, we will follow its applicable requirements.

We may share a complaint or response, including relevant contact information, with the affected parties as needed to investigate and address it. Knowingly making false copyright claims may create legal liability. This complaints process does not represent that we have registered a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office or that any particular statutory limitation of liability applies.

14. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE, PLAYER, AND GENERATED OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, ACCURATE AI OUTPUT, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

These disclaimers do not exclude express commitments in these Terms or warranties, guarantees, or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

15. Limitations of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither we nor our suppliers will be liable under these Terms for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, arising from the Service, even if advised of the possibility.

Our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability or (b) US $20.

These exclusions and limits do not apply to our fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any liability or remedy that cannot be limited under applicable law. They do not reduce our express refund obligations or your nonwaivable consumer or data-protection rights. For consumers, the exclusions and cap apply only insofar as fair and enforceable under applicable law.

16. Business-user indemnity

If you use the Service for a business or organization, you will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims and resulting damages, settlements, and reasonable legal expenses arising from Your Content’s infringement of third-party rights, your unlawful use, or your material breach of these Terms, to the extent caused by you. This does not apply to ordinary personal consumer use, claims caused by our misconduct, or claims attributable solely to unmodified AI output where your inputs and use were lawful.

We must promptly notify you, reasonably cooperate at your expense, and permit you to control the defense with suitable counsel. You may not settle a claim imposing liability, an admission, or a nonmonetary obligation on us without our reasonable consent. Late notice relieves your obligation only to the extent it materially prejudices the defense.

17. Governing law

Washington State law governs these Terms, excluding conflict-of-laws rules, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and mandatory laws that apply to you. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections or court access available under the law of your habitual residence.

For disputes permitted to proceed in court, the parties consent to state and federal courts in King County, Washington, except that qualifying small-claims cases and consumers entitled to sue in their home jurisdiction may proceed there. The federal court must have subject-matter jurisdiction.

18. Arbitration and class-action waiver

18.1 Scope and informal resolution

Except as stated below, you and we agree to resolve disputes arising from these Terms or the Service through binding individual arbitration. Before starting arbitration, either party may send a written dispute notice and try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. Send yours to legal@animjs.com with your name, account email, a description, and requested relief. We will use your account contact information. This informal process is encouraged, not a barrier to filing, urgent relief, or meeting a legal deadline.

18.2 Administrator, rules, location, and costs

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer arbitration before one neutral arbitrator under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules for consumer disputes or Commercial Arbitration Rules for business disputes, available at https://www.adr.org. Applicable AAA supplementary rules also apply. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitration agreement.

The agreed arbitration location is King County, Washington, except that consumers may choose a reasonably convenient location near their residence or participate remotely as allowed by AAA rules. No consumer must travel to Washington to pursue a claim. We will pay fees allocated to the business under applicable AAA rules and any additional fees required to make this agreement enforceable. A consumer’s required filing fee will not exceed the lesser of the AAA consumer fee or the fee to file a comparable case in the consumer’s local court. We will pay the difference. Applicable hardship waivers remain available. Each party ordinarily pays its own lawyers, subject to statutory fee rights and an arbitrator’s lawful award.

The arbitrator may award the same individual relief as a court, including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees where authorized, and injunctive or declaratory relief. A court may enter judgment on the award. Courts decide whether this arbitration agreement was formed and whether it is enforceable, including the class-action waiver; the arbitrator decides the merits of arbitrable claims.

18.3 Exceptions and individual proceedings

Either party may bring a qualifying individual claim in small-claims court. Neither party is prevented from contacting regulators, making protected reports, or seeking temporary court relief necessary to preserve rights pending arbitration. Claims that applicable law does not permit to be arbitrated are excluded. Nothing waives a nonwaivable right to seek public injunctive relief; any such claim that must be heard in court may proceed there separately.

For claims subject to arbitration, you and we waive trial before a judge or jury and agree to proceed individually, not as a class plaintiff or class member. An arbitrator may not combine different persons’ claims or conduct class or representative proceedings without all parties’ consent, except as required by nonwaivable law. This does not prevent administrative coordination under applicable AAA rules or legally protected representative actions. If this waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the remaining arbitrable claims remain in arbitration.

18.4 Opt-out, unavailability, and changes

You may opt out of this entire arbitration agreement, including its class waiver, by emailing legal@animjs.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect your access or other Terms. If you opt out, neither party may require arbitration under this section.

If AAA declines to administer a dispute because we failed to comply with its requirements, you may proceed in court. If AAA is otherwise unavailable, the parties may agree on another administrator; absent agreement, the dispute may proceed in court. We will not apply a material arbitration change to an already accrued dispute without both parties’ consent. We will give notice and a new 30-day opt-out for a material arbitration amendment. This section survives account closure for disputes within its scope.

19. Changes to these Terms

We will post revised Terms with an updated date and give at least 30 days’ advance email or in-app notice of material changes, unless a change is needed sooner for legal or security reasons. We will explain when changes take effect and obtain renewed acceptance where required. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued rights or alter an already paid price. If you disagree, you can stop using the Service and cancel renewal. Section 18.4 separately governs arbitration amendments.

20. General terms and contacts

These Terms, the applicable checkout terms, and any separately signed agreement govern your use. A separately signed agreement controls a conflict within its scope. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains effective, subject to Section 18. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Neither party may assign these Terms in a way that reduces the other’s mandatory rights; we may assign them in a genuine merger, reorganization, or sale of the relevant business if the successor assumes our obligations. These Terms do not create a partnership or employment relationship.
