9. Payment Issues & Chargebacks
If:
- A payment fails
- A chargeback is initiated

Atropos Video, LLC may immediately suspend or terminate access without refund.
⸻
10. User Content & Ownership
You retain full ownership of your content.
Atropos does not claim ownership of your videos or clips.
You grant Atropos Video, LLC a limited license to use publicly posted content created using Atropos for marketing and promotional purposes.
This marketing license is non-exclusive and applies only to content you made
publicly available. You may opt out of future marketing use by contacting
contact@atropos-video.com.
Private content is not used.
10.1 Device-Bound Account Model
Atropos uses a device-bound account model and does not provide
email/password login.
Your account identifier is derived from a device hash (device_id_hash), and
subscription entitlements are tied to that device-bound account.
Local credentials are stored in your operating system keychain or equivalent
secure local store. You are responsible for maintaining access to your device
and local credentials.
We do not guarantee restoration of access if local credentials are lost,
corrupted, deleted, or otherwise unavailable.
10.2 Recovery Phrase (Optional Feature)
Atropos may provide an optional recovery phrase that is displayed once at the
time of generation.
Atropos stores only a hash of the recovery phrase, never the plaintext phrase.
Recovery requires both: (a) your prior account identifier (device_id_hash),
and (b) the matching recovery phrase.
Successful recovery migrates entitlement to a new device-bound account and
invalidates prior device access associated with the old account.
If you lose your recovery phrase, account recovery may be impossible. Any
assistance we provide is best-effort only, and we are not responsible for
inability to restore access.
⸻
11. Third-Party Services
The Service may integrate with:
- Stripe
- Social media platforms
- Open-source software components
You are responsible for complying with third-party terms.
Atropos is not responsible for changes to third-party APIs or policies.
⸻
12. Open Source & Apache 2.0 Components
Atropos uses open-source software and models licensed under various licenses, including Apache License 2.0.
Those components remain governed by their respective licenses.
A copy of required open-source notices is included with the application.
Open-source licenses applicable to bundled dependencies do not grant any right,
title, or interest in Atropos proprietary source code or other proprietary
materials.
You may view third-party notices in-app and through the Atropos website
materials that publish these notices.
Nothing in this Agreement grants you ownership of those third-party components.
⸻
13. Termination
