Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and Minimax Motion (“Minimax Motion,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of minimaxmotion.com, our applications, generation tools, websites, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, clicking an acceptance control, accessing the Service, or using the Service after these Terms take effect, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If you use the Service for a company or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind it, and “you” includes that organization. You consent to transact electronically and to receive legally required notices electronically.

You must provide accurate, current information and keep it updated. You may not share, sell, transfer, or permit another person to use your account. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity occurring through your account, whether or not you authorized it, except to the extent applicable law provides otherwise. Notify help@minimaxmotion.com promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may require email, phone, age, payment, identity, or other verification; limit the number of accounts associated with a person, device, payment method, or telephone number; and reject or revoke access when information is inaccurate or verification cannot be completed.

The Service uses third-party and proprietary artificial-intelligence systems to create images, videos, audio, text, and other material. Features, models, limits, resolutions, processing times, and availability may change. We may add, remove, suspend, throttle, or discontinue any part of the Service and do not guarantee that a particular model, feature, or result will remain available.

Artificial-intelligence systems are probabilistic. The same or similar input may produce different results, and different users may receive identical or similar results. The Service is not a substitute for legal, medical, financial, safety, or other professional advice.

Paid features require prepaid credits. Unless a checkout expressly states otherwise, US $1 purchases 100 base credits, qualifying purchase amounts may receive bonus credits, and purchased credits do not expire. The one-time $1 trial, signup grant, generation prices, bonus tiers, taxes, and other purchase terms shown at checkout form part of these Terms. Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may not be resold.

Each purchase is a one-time payment and does not automatically renew. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge the applicable payment method, including taxes. Refunds, failed-generation credit restoration, and billing corrections are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy and any non-waivable rights under applicable law.

“Input” means any prompt, reference image, first or last frame, image, video, audio, logo, trademark, likeness, personal data, instruction, or other material that you upload, submit, select, link, or otherwise make available to the Service. “Output” means material generated or returned by the Service in response to Input.

Each time you upload, submit, select, or otherwise make available any Input—including a prompt, reference image, first or last frame, image, video, audio, logo, trademark, likeness, or other material—or initiate a generation, you represent and warrant that you own the Input or have obtained and will maintain all rights, licenses, permissions, consents, and releases necessary for Minimax Motion and its service providers to host, reproduce, transmit, modify, process, and use the Input to provide the Service and generate Output, and for your intended use of that Output. You further represent and warrant that the Input, the requested generation, and your use of the Output do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, publicity right, contractual right, confidentiality obligation, data-protection right, other proprietary or personal right, or applicable law. If Input identifies or depicts a person, you represent and warrant that you possess every consent, release, and lawful basis required to use that person’s image, likeness, voice, and personal data for the generation and your intended downstream use. Do not submit Input or initiate a generation unless each representation is true.

You must not submit material subject to confidentiality, employment, platform, stock-media, model-release, or other restrictions that prohibit AI processing, modification, derivative works, or your intended use. If a minor appears in Input, you must be that minor’s parent or legal guardian or hold verifiable authorization from the parent or legal guardian, and your use must be lawful and non-exploitative.

The Service accepting, processing, or generating from Input does not mean that we reviewed or confirmed your rights, consents, or lawful basis. Moderation, technical availability, and a successful generation are not legal clearance.

As between you and Minimax Motion, you retain whatever ownership rights you hold in Input. You grant Minimax Motion and its hosting, moderation, storage, model, security, and other service providers a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, copy, transmit, reproduce, modify, transform, process, display, and otherwise use Input and Output only as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, moderate, troubleshoot, support, improve the operation of, and enforce the Service; comply with law; and protect users, the public, and our rights.

This operational license does not transfer ownership of your Input to us and does not authorize us to use your private Input or Output to train general-purpose generative AI models. It continues only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, including backups, dispute evidence, safety records, and legal compliance.

As between you and Minimax Motion, and to the extent permitted by law, you own your Input. To the extent Minimax Motion acquires any transferable right, title, or interest in Output generated specifically for you, we assign that interest to you upon creation, subject to your compliance with these Terms. This assignment does not transfer rights belonging to anyone else or make otherwise unlawful use lawful.

You are solely responsible for all Input, instructions, Output, and every consequence of creating, accessing, downloading, editing, publishing, displaying, distributing, licensing, selling, or otherwise using them. You must independently review Output and determine whether your use is lawful and appropriate. Output may be inaccurate, offensive, non-unique, similar to content produced for others, ineligible for intellectual-property protection, or alleged to infringe third-party rights. Minimax Motion does not represent or warrant that any Output is unique, accurate, lawful, non-infringing, protectable, owned exclusively by you, or fit for personal or commercial use. You use and distribute Output at your sole risk, except to the extent responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

You are responsible for obtaining any review, clearance, license, consent, disclosure, label, provenance record, or permission needed before using Output, including for advertising, political communications, regulated products, contests, commercial publication, or uses involving a person’s identity.

You may not use or attempt to use the Service to create, upload, obtain, facilitate, or distribute material or activity that:

• Sexually exploits, sexualizes, grooms, endangers, or otherwise harms a minor, or depicts a minor in sexual or exploitative circumstances.
• Creates or distributes non-consensual intimate imagery, sexual deepfakes, exploitative nudity, or material intended to harass, blackmail, abuse, or humiliate.
• Impersonates, defames, deceives about, or materially misrepresents a real person, including through a deceptive likeness or voice, without required consent or lawful authorization.
• Violates law or another person’s intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, contractual, data-protection, or other rights.
• Promotes terrorism, violent wrongdoing, credible threats, targeted harassment, fraud, scams, malware, unlawful weapons activity, or instructions intended to cause serious harm.
• Attempts to bypass safety controls, rate limits, access restrictions, payment controls, moderation, security testing, or technical protections.
• Scrapes, reverse engineers, resells, rents, sublicenses, or uses the Service or Output to build a competing model or service except where applicable law expressly permits.

You must comply with any published safety rules and model-specific restrictions. We may treat attempts, prompts, uploads, coordinated account activity, and downstream distribution as part of the same violation.

You must obtain all legally required consent before using a person’s image, likeness, voice, biometric information, or personal data. You may not falsely imply that a person endorsed, participated in, approved, or actually performed an act shown in synthetic media. Where law, context, or platform rules require it, you must clearly disclose that material is AI-generated or altered and preserve provenance or disclosure labels.

You bear responsibility for evaluating heightened risks involving public figures, private individuals, children, healthcare, employment, housing, credit, insurance, education, elections, and other sensitive or regulated contexts.

We may use automated and human review to detect abuse, investigate reports, preserve evidence, restrict generations, remove or disable access to material, withhold Output, limit features, reverse credits obtained through abuse, or suspend or terminate accounts. We are not required to pre-screen all Input or Output and do not assume responsibility for content merely because moderation did or did not detect it.

We may preserve and disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with law or valid legal process; enforce these Terms; investigate fraud, safety incidents, or rights violations; or protect Minimax Motion, our providers, users, or the public.

The Service depends on third-party identity, payment, hosting, storage, analytics, moderation, and AI-model providers. Their systems may be unavailable, change, or impose separate terms. Minimax Motion is not responsible for third-party products or services outside our control. Your use of a separately linked third-party service is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

MiniMax H3 is developed by MiniMax. Minimax Motion is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by MiniMax. References to model names identify third-party technology available through the Service and do not imply sponsorship or ownership.

If you believe material available through the Service infringes your rights, send a detailed notice to help@minimaxmotion.com identifying the protected work or right, the challenged material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature. We may request additional information, remove material, restrict repeat infringers, or forward the notice to the affected user.

You may stop using the Service or request account deletion through available account controls. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access immediately when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, nonpayment, fraud prevention, risk to the Service, or a suspected or actual breach of these Terms. Except where law requires otherwise, unused promotional or bonus credits are forfeited on termination for breach.

Account deletion removes ordinary account content according to our Privacy Policy, but limited billing, fraud, moderation, security, agreement-acceptance, arbitration-opt-out, dispute, and legal-compliance records may be retained for the periods stated there. Provisions that by their nature should survive—including licenses needed for retained records, responsibility for content, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, dispute resolution, and general terms—survive termination.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” MINIMAX MOTION AND ITS PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND THAT OUTPUT WILL BE UNIQUE, PROTECTABLE, LAWFUL, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR INTENDED USE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT MODERATION WILL IDENTIFY EVERY PROBLEM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MINIMAX MOTION, ITS AFFILIATES, PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND THEIR PERSONNEL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES; COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM INPUT, OUTPUT, THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the aggregate liability of Minimax Motion and the other released parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid Minimax Motion for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to liability. These limitations apply to all theories of liability and allocate risk between the parties. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Minimax Motion, its affiliates, service providers, licensors, and their respective owners, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against third-party claims, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from or relating to: your Input, instructions, or Output; your creation, publication, sale, licensing, distribution, or other use of Output; your actual or alleged violation of another person’s rights; your breach of a representation, warranty, or obligation in these Terms; or your violation of law.

We may control the defense and settlement of an indemnified matter with counsel of our choosing. You will reasonably cooperate and may not settle a matter in a way that admits fault by or imposes an obligation on an indemnified party without our written consent. This section does not require indemnification for conduct that applicable law does not permit us to shift to you.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED EXCEPTIONS BELOW, YOU AND MINIMAX MOTION AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, NOT IN COURT. ARBITRATION MEANS THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, AND COURT REVIEW IS LIMITED.

Before starting arbitration, the claimant must send the other party an individualized written notice describing the claimant, account, facts, legal basis, requested relief, and a good-faith calculation of the amount sought. Notices to Minimax Motion must be emailed to help@minimaxmotion.com with the subject “NOTICE OF DISPUTE.” The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for 30 days. Applicable limitation periods are tolled during that period.

If unresolved, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service, these Terms, or the relationship between you and Minimax Motion—including contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory—will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. The arbitrator may award the same individualized remedies a court could award and will issue a reasoned decision. Fees will be allocated under the AAA rules and applicable law.

Either party may bring an eligible individual action in small-claims court. Either party may also seek temporary or preliminary court relief necessary to prevent imminent unauthorized access, security abuse, or infringement or misappropriation of intellectual-property rights while arbitration is pending.

YOU AND MINIMAX MOTION WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, COORDINATED, CONSOLIDATED, OR PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION. AN ARBITRATOR MAY NOT COMBINE CLAIMS OR AWARD RELIEF FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT EXCEPT WITH THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES.

If a final decision holds that a particular claim or request for relief cannot lawfully be arbitrated on an individual basis, only that claim or request will be severed and decided by a court; all other claims remain subject to arbitration. If the class-action waiver is held unenforceable as to an entire action, the arbitration requirement will not apply to that action.

You may opt out of Section 17 by emailing help@minimaxmotion.com within 30 days after you first accept this version of the Terms. Use the subject “ARBITRATION OPT-OUT” and include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you opt out of binding arbitration. The request must be sent personally by you; purported mass or agent-submitted opt-outs are ineffective. A valid opt-out applies only to Section 17. All other Terms remain in effect.

California law governs these Terms and disputes, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 17. For any dispute not required to be arbitrated or heard in small-claims court, you and Minimax Motion consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts located in San Francisco County, California, or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

If you are a consumer residing somewhere that grants mandatory rights or requires a different governing law or forum, those non-waivable rights remain available to you.

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, law, safety practices, or our business. When required, we will provide notice and request renewed assent. The updated Terms apply prospectively from their stated effective date. Continuing to use the Service after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance where law permits, but a new arbitration provision will not apply retroactively to a dispute already asserted in a valid written notice.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, purchase terms, and policies expressly incorporated here are the entire agreement about the Service and replace prior agreements on the same subject. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the remainder will continue, except as Section 17 specifically provides. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or transfer of the Service. Headings are for convenience. “Including” means “including without limitation.” No third party is a beneficiary except the parties expressly protected by the disclaimer, liability, and indemnity provisions.
