Blind Editor — Terms & Conditions

Effective date: 31 July 2026
Version: 1.0

0. A plain-language summary (not part of the contract)

We wrote these Terms to be read, not just filed. Here is the short version. The numbered sections below are what actually binds us; if they ever disagree with this summary, the numbered sections win.

1. Who we are and what these Terms cover

1.1 Blind Editor (the "Service") is operated by Argon ehf., an Icelandic private limited company, registration number 421210-0630, registered at Hjálmholt 4, 105 Reykjavík, Iceland ("we", "us", "our"). You can reach us at argon@argon.is.

1.2 These Terms & Conditions (the "Terms") are a contract between you and us. They govern your access to and use of the Service, including the website at blindeditor.com and blindeditor.ai, the web application, and everything the Service does.

1.3 The following documents are part of this contract and are incorporated by reference. Please read them too:
- the Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") — what you may and may not do;
- the Privacy Policy — how we handle personal data;
- for business customers, the Data Processing Addendum ("DPA").

If there is a conflict, the order of priority is: (1) an individually signed agreement with you, if any; (2) the DPA (for the matters it covers); (3) these Terms; (4) the AUP and Privacy Policy.

2. Accepting these Terms

2.1 By creating an account, buying credits, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2.2 If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation, and "you" means that organisation.

2.3 We may update these Terms — see section 21 (Changes to these Terms).

2.4 Using the Service is how you accept. There is no separate agreement to sign. You accept these Terms by using the Service, and each time you use it you accept the version then in force. If you continue using the Service after a change takes effect, that is your acceptance of the changed Terms — section 21 explains how we tell you about changes and what you can do if you do not agree to one.

2.5 How to withdraw your acceptance. You cannot use the Service without accepting these Terms, so there is no way to stay and opt out of them. If you no longer accept them, stop using the Service and delete your account. Deleting your account is how you withdraw your acceptance, and it takes effect immediately. Section 15.1 sets out what deletion removes and the receipts we are required to keep. Withdrawing does not by itself entitle you to a refund of unused credits — refunds are governed by sections 12.5 and 12.6.

2.6 Your data-protection consents are separate from this. Sections 2.4 and 2.5 are about your agreement to this contract. They do not affect any consent you give us under the Privacy Policy — in particular the optional consent to use Your Content to train or improve AI models. You can withdraw that consent at any time, without deleting your account, as the Privacy Policy describes. Withdrawing it does not affect processing already carried out, and it does not end this contract.

3. Who may use the Service (eligibility and age)

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, buy credits, or use the Service.

3.2 You must not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under any applicable law, sanctions, or export-control rules (see section 20).

4. Your account

4.1 You need an account to use the Service. Keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for everything done through your account, unless it results from our failure to keep the Service secure.

4.2 Tell us promptly at argon@argon.is if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

4.3 We store passwords using strong, industry-standard hashing. We will never ask you for your password by email.

5. What the Service does — and its limits

5.1 The Service lets you upload video and other supported media and request edits, and it uses automated AI to produce edited output. The available features, supported formats, and ways of requesting an edit may change over time.

5.2 AI editing has limits. The agent works from your natural-language instructions and its own interpretation of your video. It can misunderstand what you asked for and can produce results that are inaccurate, incomplete, or not what you intended. These characteristics are inherent to AI-based editing and are part of the service you are agreeing to receive; an output that reflects them is not, by itself, a defect in the Service.

5.3 You must review the output, and you still pay for the work. Always review every output before relying on it, publishing it, or deleting your original. We are not responsible for the consequences of an edit you did not check. You are charged for the work the Service actually performs even if the result is not what you wanted (see section 12.3).

5.4 The Service is automated. We are not obliged to, and do not routinely, monitor or moderate your content, but we may review, remove, or refuse content — for example in response to a report or a legal requirement (see sections 15 and 16).

6. Your content

6.1 You keep ownership of everything you upload — your videos, images, prompts, and any other material ("Your Content"). We do not claim ownership of it.

6.2 You grant us a limited licence to host, store, copy, transcode, transcribe, extract frames from, process, and transmit Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you (including sending text and images derived from Your Content to our AI provider to fulfil your request). This licence lasts only as long as we hold Your Content to provide the Service and ends when Your Content is deleted, except for backups or logs that expire in the ordinary course, and except where we must keep something to comply with law.

6.3 We do not use Your Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI or machine-learning models unless you opt in. This is off by default. Unless you have given your consent, we do not train models on Your Content and we require our AI provider not to either (see section 13). You can withdraw any consent you give at any time.

6.4 We are not obliged to store Your Content indefinitely and we are not your backup service. Keep your own copies of anything important — see section 17.

7. Output you receive

7.1 As between you and us, you own the edited output the Service produces for you, to the extent it can be owned under applicable law.

7.2 No guarantee of originality or uniqueness. AI-assisted output may not be unique, and its legal status (including whether it can be protected by copyright) can be unclear and varies by country. We do not warrant that any output is original, unique to you, or protectable. You are responsible for checking that your use of an output is lawful and does not infringe anyone's rights.

8. Our intellectual property and your licence to use the Service

8.1 The Service itself — its software, design, text, and the "Blind Editor" name, logo, and branding — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Apart from the right to use the Service in section 8.2, these Terms give you no rights in the Service; and apart from the licence in section 6.2, they give us no rights in Your Content.

8.2 We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for its intended purpose, for as long as these Terms are in force between us and subject to them.

8.3 Feedback. If you choose to send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Service, we may use it to improve the Service without restriction or payment to you. Feedback does not include Your Content.

8.4 Beta features. We may offer features labelled beta, preview, or experimental. They are offered so you can try them early: they may change, break, or be withdrawn at any time, and our commitments in these Terms apply to them only so far as is consistent with that experimental nature. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.

9. Your promises about Your Content (rights and consent)

You represent and warrant, each time you upload or process content, that:

9.1 you own Your Content or have all rights, licences, and permissions needed to upload it and to have us process it as described in these Terms;

9.2 you have obtained all consents and permissions that applicable law requires from people who appear or can be heard in Your Content (their face, voice, or likeness), including — where the law requires it — consent to the processing described in section 13;

9.3 Your Content and your use of the Service do not and will not infringe anyone's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights, and do not break any law; and

9.4 Your Content complies with the Acceptable Use Policy, including the prohibition on content that is illegal in Iceland (section 11).

If any of these stops being true, you must stop using the Service for that content and delete it.

10. Acceptable use

10.1 Your use of the Service must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of these Terms.

10.2 In short, you must not misuse the Service, interfere with its security or other users, try to break out of your own workspace or the limits placed on the AI agent, resell or share your access or credits, or use the Service to do anything unlawful.

11. Prohibited content — including anything illegal in Iceland

11.1 You must not upload, process, generate, store, or distribute through the Service any content that is illegal under the laws of Iceland. This is an absolute rule. It applies wherever you are located.

11.2 Without limiting section 11.1, you must not use the Service in connection with:
- child sexual abuse material, or any sexual content involving minors;
- non-consensual intimate imagery, or sexual "deepfakes" of real people made without consent;
- content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights;
- content you do not have the rights or consents required by section 9;
- material that is unlawfully hateful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or that incites violence or criminal acts under Icelandic law;
- content that violates another person's privacy or data-protection rights; or
- anything else listed in the Acceptable Use Policy.

11.3 You are solely responsible and liable for Your Content and for any breach of this section. We do not pre-screen content, but we may remove content, suspend processing, or terminate accounts as described in section 15 if we become aware of a breach.

12. Fees, credits, and payment

12.1 Prepaid credits. The Service is paid for with credits, which you buy in advance in packs. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum. A credit is a unit of the underlying work the Service does for you (AI processing and compute time). Prices and credits are denominated in US dollars (USD).

12.2 Your credit balance. Credits you buy are added to your account balance and are spent as you use the Service.

12.3 You are charged for work actually done. After a job, we deduct the credits the work actually consumed. If a job stops early because it reaches its safety limit (section 14), you are charged only for the work done up to that point.

12.4 No surprise charges. We will not charge your payment method without your authorisation. If we offer an automatic top-up option, it applies only when you choose to enable it.

12.5 Refunds, and the limits on them. Except for the refund rights set out in these Terms — your 14-day withdrawal right as an EEA consumer (section 12.6), and the refunds in sections 15.4 (termination other than for serious breach), 15.5 (discontinuation of the Service), and 21.2 (material changes to these Terms) — and except where a refund is required by law, payments and credits are non-refundable. Credits are non-transferable: you cannot sell, gift, trade, or transfer them, and they have no cash value. Free or promotional credits (such as a one-time starter grant given to new accounts) are provided as-is, may be changed or withdrawn, and are never refundable.

12.6 EU/EEA consumers — your 14-day withdrawal right. If you are a consumer in the EEA, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal when you buy credits:
- Unused pack. If you have not spent any credits from a pack, you may withdraw within 14 days of the purchase and we will refund that purchase in full.
- Partly used pack. By spending credits you expressly request that we perform the Service before the withdrawal period has ended, and you acknowledge that you pay for the work performed before you withdraw. If you withdraw within the 14 days, we refund the price of the credits you have not spent from that pack.
- After 14 days, the purchase is final, subject to the other refund rights in these Terms and to anything the law does not allow to be excluded.

To withdraw, tell us at argon@argon.is within the 14 days — an unequivocal statement that you withdraw from the purchase is enough. We will refund you using your original payment method, without undue delay and at the latest within 14 days of your withdrawal.

12.7 Taxes. Prices are stated exclusive of taxes. We add VAT (or a similar tax) wherever we are required to collect it, at the applicable rate for your billing country, and the tax-inclusive total is displayed before you pay. We are registered for Icelandic VAT (VSK), so for buyers in Iceland VSK (currently 24%) is added on top of the price shown. Where we are not required to collect a tax on a sale, we do not add it; any tax that the law requires you to self-assess or account for (for example under a reverse-charge rule for business buyers) remains your responsibility.

12.8 Receipts. We issue a numbered receipt for every purchase and email it to you. Your receipts are also always available in your account. You agree to receive them electronically.

12.9 Price changes. We may change prices and pack contents. Changes apply to future purchases only. Credits you have already bought are not affected.

12.10 Payment processor. Payments are handled by a third-party payment processor. Your use of that processor is subject to its own terms. We do not store your full card details.

13. AI provider and other third-party services

13.1 To perform edits, the Service sends a text transcript of your video's audio and still images taken from it to our AI provider — a third-party provider located in the United States — which processes them to reason about your request. We require our AI provider to retain your content only as needed to perform your edit and, unless you have opted in to model training, not to use it to train its models.

13.2 The Service is hosted with a third-party cloud infrastructure provider, within the EU/EEA. Your files are stored there and encrypted at rest.

13.3 More detail on what data is processed, by whom, and where, is in the Privacy Policy.

13.4 We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party services beyond our reasonable control, but we choose our providers with care and hold them to appropriate data-protection commitments.

14. Safety limits on each job

14.1 We apply limits to each job, such as a budget or time limit. These protect you from a runaway job that would consume credits or run indefinitely because of a fault or an unusually hard request.

14.2 If a job reaches a limit, it stops and you are charged only for the work done (section 12.3). If this happens, try a smaller or more specific request.

15. Suspension, termination, and discontinuation

15.1 You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account. Deleting your account permanently deletes your projects, uploaded files, and conversations. We must keep your purchase receipts — accounting and tax law requires us to retain them for seven years, and that duty overrides deletion. A retained receipt keeps the billing details that were on it (your name, billing address, and the amount); it is no longer linked to a login. Consistent with section 12.5, we do not refund unused credits merely because you delete your account, except as provided in these Terms (including section 12.6) or required by law.

15.2 We may suspend or terminate your access, remove content, or refuse a job if:
- you breach these Terms, the AUP, or the law (including the prohibited-content rules in section 11);
- we are required to by law or by a valid legal request;
- your use threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Service or other users; or
- you fail to pay amounts due.

15.3 Where practical and lawful, we will give you notice and a chance to fix a problem first. When we remove your content or suspend or terminate your account, we will tell you what we did, our reasons, and how to contest the decision, unless the law prevents this or we cannot reach you. For serious breaches — such as illegal content — we may act immediately.

15.4 If we terminate your account for a serious breach — for example illegal content, fraud, or deliberate abuse of the Service, its safety limits, or other users — you lose access to any remaining credits without refund, to the extent permitted by law. If we terminate your access for any other reason, we will refund the price of your unused purchased credits. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including the closing part of section 6.2 (backups, expiring logs, and legal retention duties) and sections 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22 — continue to apply.

15.5 If we discontinue the Service. If we permanently discontinue the Service, or withdraw a core part of it so that your credits become materially unusable, we will give you reasonable advance notice and refund the price of your unused purchased credits. Free and promotional credits are not refundable.

16. Reporting illegal content and copyright complaints (notice and action)

16.1 We respect intellectual-property rights and the law, and expect you to do the same. If you believe content processed or made available through the Service is illegal or infringes your rights (including copyright), send a notice to argon@argon.is including: your name and contact details; where the material is and enough information to identify it; why you consider it illegal or infringing (for copyright, identify the work and your rights in it); and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the information in your notice is accurate and, for IP notices, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

16.2 We review notices diligently and without undue delay, and may remove or disable access to the material. We will tell you what we decided. If we act against content or an account, the affected user receives a statement of reasons and can contest the decision (section 15.3), and the person who uploaded the material may submit a counter-notice. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

16.3 Point of contact. argon@argon.is is our single point of contact for these notices — for users, rights holders, and authorities alike. You can communicate with us in English or Icelandic.

17. Service availability, conformity, and backups

17.1 We work to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

17.2 What you can expect from an AI edit. Section 5 describes the nature and limits of AI-based editing; those characteristics are part of the service we have agreed to supply, and an output that reflects them is not, by itself, a lack of conformity or a defect. Beyond what these Terms expressly state, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no other promises about the Service or its outputs — including their accuracy, quality, uniqueness, or fitness for what you plan to use them for. If you use the Service in the course of a business, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available".

17.3 You are responsible for keeping your own backups of your original videos and important outputs. The Service is not a backup or archival service.

17.4 EEA consumers — your conformity rights. If you are a consumer in the EEA, the law requires a digital service to conform to the contract and gives you remedies if it does not — such as having the service brought into conformity, a proportionate price reduction, or ending the contract. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits those rights, and section 17.2 applies to you only to the extent it lawfully can.

18. Limitation of liability

18.1 Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our negligence; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law — including the mandatory rights of consumers under Icelandic and EEA law.

18.2 Subject to section 18.1, we are not liable for: indirect or consequential loss; loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, or anticipated savings; loss of or damage to data (beyond our duty to take reasonable care); or loss arising from your failure to review an output (section 5.3) or to keep your own backups (section 17.3).

18.3 Consumers. If you are a consumer, we are liable to you as provided by applicable law, and nothing in these Terms reduces the rights and remedies that mandatory Icelandic or EEA consumer-protection law gives you. Section 18.4 does not apply to you, and section 18.2 applies to you only to the extent it lawfully can.

18.4 Business customers — liability cap. If you use the Service in the course of a business, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise — is limited to the total amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. This cap does not apply to the liability described in section 18.1.

18.5 These limits reflect the price of the Service and the allocation of risk between us. Each provision of this section operates separately.

19. Indemnity

19.1 To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from: Your Content; your breach of these Terms, the AUP, or the law; your infringement of anyone's rights; or your failure to obtain the rights and consents required by section 9.

19.2 This section 19 does not apply to consumers except to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer law.

20. Export controls and sanctions

20.1 You must comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws. You confirm you are not located in, and will not use the Service on behalf of anyone in, a country or by a person subject to sanctions that would make your use unlawful, and that you will not use the Service for any prohibited end-use.

21. Changes to these Terms

21.1 We may update these Terms for valid reasons: a change in law or regulation; a change to the Service or to how we provide it (including a change of provider); security or abuse-prevention needs; the introduction of new features; the correction of errors; or changes to prices or packs for future purchases (section 12.9). We will post the updated version with a new effective date.

21.2 For material changes, we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example by email or an in-app notice) before they take effect. If you do not agree to a change, you may stop using the Service before the change takes effect — and if the change materially disadvantages you, we will refund the price of your unused purchased credits on request. Changes will not apply retroactively to disputes already arisen.

22. Governing law, disputes, and general

22.1 Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of Iceland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of any mandatory laws of your country of residence.

22.2 Courts. The courts of Iceland (the District Court of Reykjavík) have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory right you have as a consumer to bring proceedings in, or be sued only in, the courts of your own country of residence in the EEA. We do not require arbitration and do not ask you to waive class actions.

22.3 Consumer complaints and dispute resolution. If you are a consumer and we cannot resolve a dispute together, you may be able to refer it to an alternative-dispute-resolution body — in Iceland, the Kærunefnd vöru- og þjónustukaupa (Appeals Committee for Consumer Purchases of Goods and Services) — or to the competent consumer-dispute body in your EEA country of residence.

22.4 Force majeure. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control (for example outages of infrastructure or third-party providers, network failures, natural events, or acts of government).

22.5 Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer ours to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided your rights are not reduced.

22.6 Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the invalid provision is applied to the greatest extent permitted.

22.7 No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to do so later.

22.8 Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the AUP, Privacy Policy, and (for business customers) the DPA, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier agreement on that subject.

22.9 Notices and electronic communications. You agree we may communicate with you electronically (by email or in-app notice), and that such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. Send legal notices to us at argon@argon.is.
