Terms of Use
These Terms of Use govern your use of Maru Kit, a service that turns audio into audio-reactive, customizable Motion videos. By using Maru Kit, you agree to these terms.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using Maru Kit, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of them, do not use the service.
The Service
Maru Kit lets you upload audio, pick a Motion — an audio-reactive, minimal audio-visualization animation — customize it, and export a video of the result.
Accounts and Responsibilities
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in credentials secure. You are also responsible for the activity that happens through your account.
Acceptable Use
Use Maru Kit only for lawful purposes and only as these terms allow. You must not misuse or interfere with the service, try to access it through means other than the interfaces provided, or use it in a way that harms other people or their rights.
Your Content and the Licence to Process It
You keep your rights to the audio you upload and to the videos you export. To provide the service, you give Maru Kit a limited licence to store and process the audio you upload only as needed to run the service: analyzing the audio, applying a Motion, and producing your exported video. This licence covers nothing else, and it ends when your media is deleted under the retention described below.
Exports
You can cancel an export until its render starts; a cancelled export does not count against your plan's allowance. Once the render starts, the export cannot be stopped, and a failed render still counts.
Media Retention
Exported videos are deleted 30 days after the export finishes. Uploaded audio is kept for 90 days after the upload finishes, then deleted.
We keep your audio and videos for a limited time on purpose: it is what lets us keep Maru Kit running for more people and offer as much as we can for as little as we can charge.
Download your exported videos when they are ready, because once the retention window ends they are deleted and no longer available.
No Downloading of Uploaded Audio
You may not download or otherwise extract the audio you upload. Uploaded audio is not made available for download, for copyright reasons.
Demo Audio
Demo audio tracks cannot be downloaded. They are made by artists who work with Maru Kit and/or are audio that is free of copyright or other legal restrictions for public and commercial use.
Plans, Quotas, and Refunds
Maru Kit has four plans: Free, Basic, Plus, and Pro, and also sells Pay as you go videos. Current prices are listed on the pricing page, in US dollars.
Each paid plan includes a monthly quota of audio uploads and video exports, and each step up adds longer exports and more export options.
After you buy a plan, a refund is available only if you have not used any of that plan's uploads or exports. Contact support to request it. Pay as you go credits follow the same rule: a refund is available on request only while the credit is unspent, meaning it has not been used for an export. No other refund is available. Anyone who has run into issues or failures should contact support.
Service Availability and Disclaimers
Maru Kit is provided as is and without warranties of any kind. We do not promise that the service will be available at any particular time, that it will be uninterrupted, or that it will be free of errors.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by law, Maru Kit and the team behind it are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law.
Termination and Changes
We may suspend or end your access to the service at any time. We may also update these terms from time to time; the current version is always the one on this page. If you continue to use Maru Kit after an update, you accept the updated terms.
