Terms of Service

Last updated: April 2026

⚠ DRAFT — awaiting lawyer review

These Terms of Service are a comprehensive draft to be reviewed, trimmed, and finalised by a lawyer specialising in EU IT and contract law before public launch (June/July 2026). Until counsel signs off, they are not a legally binding agreement. Plans, prices, and features are indicative.

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your use of the marketing website at tkammies.studio, the Studio web/PWA application at app.tkammies.studio, the iOS / iPadOS app distributed via the Apple App Store, and all related sub-domains and services (together, the “Service”), provided by Timothée Kammies (sole proprietor / Einzelunternehmen, “we”, “us”, “tkammies”). By creating an account, joining a workspace, accepting an invitation, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. Where this English text and the German version diverge, the German version prevails for users resident in Germany.

1. Definitions

  • Account — a registered user identity.
  • Workspace — a billable container for projects, files, and members; owned by a single Account (the “Workspace Owner”).
  • Collaborator — any Account invited to a Workspace by the Workspace Owner; includes crew, editors, and any client given a review link account.
  • Paid Plan — a subscription that grants the Workspace Owner expanded limits and features.
  • User Content — any data, files, text, images, audio, video, or metadata you or your Collaborators upload to or generate within the Service.
  • Beta Period — the closed-beta phase preceding public launch (currently scheduled for June/July 2026).

2. Eligibility and account

To create an Account, you must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) and capable of forming a binding contract under the law of your residence. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind it to these Terms.

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your Account. You must notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorised access at info@tkammies.com.

3. The Service

The Service is a production-management application for filmmakers, directors, producers, and content creators. It includes Quick Tools (packing list, budget calculator, trip log) usable without a Workspace, and a structured Workspace mode (projects, pipelines, crew, budgets, call sheets, shot lists, field notes, interviews, documents, team tab, client review). We may add, modify, or remove features at any time, subject to §17 (Modifications).

4. Workspaces, Collaborators, and the “Collaborators are free” model

The Workspace Owner is the contracting party for billing purposes and decides who is invited, what role they hold, and what data they can access. Collaborators invited to a Workspace use the Service free of charge for the scope of that Workspace; we do not charge per seat or per Collaborator. Collaborators must still create an Account and accept these Terms.

The Workspace Owner is the controller for User Content within the Workspace; we act as processor on the Workspace Owner's behalf and offer a Data Processing Agreement under Art. 28 GDPR (see §15).

5. Plans, fees, and billing

Paid Plans are listed at tkammies.studio/pricing. Prices shown before the public launch are indicative and may change before launch; pricing presented at the moment you confirm a subscription becomes binding for that subscription term. Prices are stated in euro, excluding VAT. Where VAT applies (e.g. consumers in the EU), it is added at checkout based on your country.

Subscription billing is processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not store full card numbers, CVV, or expiry data. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) until cancelled. Cancellations take effect at the end of the then-current billing period; the Service remains available until that date.

Failed payments may result in suspension of paid features after a reasonable grace period and notice. Late or disputed charges may incur statutory default interest under German law.

6. VAT, invoices, and bookkeeping

B2B customers may provide a valid VAT identification number; reverse charge is applied where the legal requirements are met. Invoices are issued electronically in PDF and made available in your Account settings. We retain billing records for 10 years as required by §§ 147 AO and 257 HGB.

7. Free use, trials, and Beta

We may offer free tiers, time-limited trials, and Beta access. Free and trial use is provided “as is” and may be modified, limited, or terminated at any time. During the Beta Period, no service-level commitments apply and you should keep independent backups of important User Content.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to permit any Collaborator to:

  • upload, store, or distribute content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or that depicts the sexual abuse or exploitation of minors;
  • upload User Content for which you do not hold the necessary rights, releases, and consents (including consents from persons depicted, recorded, or otherwise identifiable);
  • upload malware, exploit kits, or content designed to compromise systems or other users;
  • attempt to circumvent quotas, rate limits, authentication, or any technical protection measures;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service except to the extent expressly permitted by mandatory law (e.g. § 69e UrhG for interoperability);
  • use the Service to build a competing product, including by scraping or systematic data extraction;
  • use automated means to access the Service in a manner that imposes an unreasonable load on infrastructure;
  • use the Service for the generation of legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical content where reliance on inaccurate output could cause harm;
  • resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit access to the Service except as expressly permitted (e.g. agency use under a Paid Plan).

We may suspend or terminate access for serious or repeated breaches of this section, with prior notice where reasonably possible.

9. Intellectual property in the Service

The Service, its source code, design, branding, documentation, and all underlying intellectual property are owned by tkammies or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to use the Service for the duration of your Account, in accordance with these Terms.

10. Your User Content and licence to us

You retain all rights in your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, transmit, transcode, display, copy, back up, and process your User Content solely as necessary to provide and maintain the Service to you and your Collaborators (including, where applicable, transcoding video for adaptive playback, generating thumbnails, indexing for search, and AI processing on your explicit request).

We will not use your User Content to train AI models. We will not access your User Content except as needed to provide the Service, comply with the law, or investigate suspected violations of these Terms.

11. Consumer withdrawal right (digital services)

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you have a right of withdrawal under § 355 BGB. However, when you subscribe to a Paid Plan and expressly request that the Service begin during the 14-day withdrawal period and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once we have begun providing the digital service, the right of withdrawal expires in accordance with § 356 Abs. 4 BGB and Art. 16(m) of Directive 2011/83/EU.

The express request and acknowledgement are obtained at checkout via a tick-box. If you do not consent, the Service will not begin until the withdrawal period has expired. Detailed instructions and a model withdrawal form are made available at checkout and remain accessible via your Account settings.

12. Refunds

Subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by mandatory law (e.g. valid withdrawal under §11) or where we, at our discretion, decide to issue a refund. If we materially reduce the Service, we will offer affected Workspace Owners a pro-rated refund or credit.

13. Third-party services

The Service relies on, and may interoperate with, third-party services (including Cloudflare, Supabase, Brevo, Stripe, Apple, OpenAI, Anthropic, Sentry — see our Privacy Policy for the full list). Use of those services is subject to the providers' own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content, conduct, or availability of third-party services.

14. AI features

The Service may offer optional AI-assisted features. AI output is generated probabilistically and may contain inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for reviewing AI output before relying on it. Each AI submission requires an explicit confirmation. We process AI submissions through providers configured under their zero-retention, no-training API terms, but we cannot guarantee the providers' adherence to those terms beyond the contractual safeguards in place. The Documentary Mode and other AI features are disabled by default.

15. Data protection and DPA

Our Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data when you interact with the Service. If you use the Service to process personal data of others (e.g. crew, interviewees, clients) in the course of your professional activity, you act as the controller for that data and we act as your processor under Art. 28 GDPR. A Data Processing Agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) is incorporated by reference into these Terms for B2B customers and is available on request and via your Account settings.

16. Warranties and disclaimers

We provide the Service with reasonable care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, we make no other warranties — express, implied, statutory, or otherwise — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted availability, accuracy of AI output, or that the Service will meet your specific requirements. Statutory warranty rights of consumers remain unaffected.

17. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, our liability for ordinary negligence — except in cases of injury to life, body, or health, and except for material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) — is excluded. For breaches of cardinal obligations resulting from ordinary negligence, liability is limited to the foreseeable, contract-typical direct damage and shall not exceed the fees paid by the Workspace Owner to us in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to liability. Mandatory statutory liability — in particular under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and for fraudulently concealed defects — remains unaffected. Liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, loss of profits, business interruption, or loss of data is excluded to the extent permitted by law; you are responsible for maintaining your own backups of critical User Content.

The above limitations also apply for the benefit of our employees, agents, and subprocessors.

18. Term and termination

These Terms apply for as long as you have an Account or use the Service. Either party may terminate at any time:

  • You may delete your Account from in-app settings; Paid Plan cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.
  • We may suspend or terminate the Account or any Workspace, with prior notice where reasonably possible, for material breach of these Terms (in particular §8), failure to pay, fraud or abuse, or where required by law or court order.
  • We may discontinue the Service in whole or in part on at least 60 days' notice to active Workspace Owners; refunds or credits will be issued for the unused portion of any prepaid Paid Plan.

19. Effects of termination and data export

On termination, your right to use the Service ends. We will retain User Content for a soft-delete window of 30 days for restore, then permanently delete it within a further 60 days from operational backups (legal-retention exceptions in our Privacy Policy and mandatory law remain unaffected). You may export your User Content and structured data at any time before deletion via the export tools provided in the Service (e.g. CSV/Excel export, file download).

20. Modifications to the Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, the law, or our subprocessors. Material changes will be communicated to active Account holders by e-mail and via an in-app notice at least 30 days in advance and will state the date the changes take effect. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate your Account before they take effect; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

21. Confidentiality and feedback

During the Beta Period and any pre-release access, you agree to keep information about non-public features confidential and to use it only to evaluate the Service. If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them to improve the Service, without obligation to compensate or attribute you.

22. Force majeure

We are not liable for failures or delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, including outages of upstream internet, hosting, or content-delivery providers, distributed denial-of-service attacks, governmental measures, strikes, fire, flood, pandemics, or war.

23. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, on at least 30 days' notice.

24. Severability and no waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that comes closest to the original economic intent. Failure to enforce any right under these Terms is not a waiver of that right.

25. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the substantive law of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For consumers, mandatory provisions of the law of the country of residence remain unaffected. The exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be Karlsruhe, Germany, insofar as you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law, or a special fund under public law, or insofar as no general place of jurisdiction in Germany exists.

26. EU online dispute resolution

The European Commission provides an ODR platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obliged and not generally willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).

27. Entire agreement and contact

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Disclaimer, the Cookie consent record, and (for B2B customers) the DPA, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. For questions about these Terms, contact info@tkammies.com. See the Impressum for the legal entity behind the Service.
