MediaCAT Terms of Service

Effective October 17, 2024

Introduction

The MediaCAT Terms of Service build upon the XL8 Terms of Service. Any sections not specifically addressed in the MediaCAT Terms of Service will adhere to the XL8 Terms of Service. However, where the MediaCAT Terms of Service provides additional or different provisions, those will take precedence.

MediaCAT Service

MediaCAT is a service provided by XL8 Inc. (“XL8”, “we” or “us”), located at 690 Saratoga Ave., Ste 100, San Jose, CA 95129. 

MediaCAT is an AI-based platform for media (audio/video) localization processes that includes the following:

  • Sync: Generates a caption file from a video file using STT or synchronizes a transcription file to a media file
  • Translate: Generates a translated subtitle from a caption file (or a template subtitle)
  • Dub: Synthesizes voices and adds them to the video or generates an audio file
  • Subtitle Editor: Allows human post-editors to fix/improve subtitles

Applicable Terms

Your use of MediaCAT is subject to these MediaCAT Terms of Service (“MediaCAT ToS”) and the XL8 Terms of Service ("XL8 ToS") (together referred to as the “Terms”). MediaCAT is a “service” as described in the MediaCAT ToS. If there is any conflict between the MediaCAT ToS and the XL8 ToS, the MediaCAT ToS shall prevail. 

Your Use of MediaCAT

Access to the Services

You may use MediaCAT to translate contents for your mobile, computer, or other supported device (“Device”). To use MediaCAT, you will need a Device that meets the system and compatibility requirements for the relevant services, working Internet access, and compatible software. The availability of service will vary between countries and not all services may be available in your country. XL8 is not responsible for and does not endorse any content made available through MediaCAT that originates from a source other than XL8.

Updates

MediaCAT, related support libraries, may need to be updated, for example, for bug fixes, enhanced functions, missing plug-ins and new versions (collectively, “Updates”). Such Updates may be necessary in order for you to use MediaCAT or to access, download, or use content. By agreeing to these Terms and using MediaCAT, you agree to receive such Updates automatically.

Information about You

XL8’s Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when using MediaCAT.

Permission to use your content

MediaCAT services are designed to let you upload, submit, store, send, receive, or share contents. 

You have no obligation to provide any content to our services and you're free to choose the content that you want to provide. 

If you choose to upload or share content, please make sure you have the necessary rights to do so and that the content is lawful.

Unauthorized Access to Accounts

Disabled Accounts

If XL8 disables access to your account in accordance with the Terms (for example if you violate the Terms), you may be prevented from accessing MediaCAT, your account details or any files or other content that is stored with your account.

Changes to these Terms

If the MediaCAT ToS changes, you will be given at least 30 days notice, and the new MediaCAT ToS will be effective after such notice period. Your continued use of MediaCAT following such notice period will indicate your acceptance of the new MediaCAT ToS. The new MediaCAT ToS will apply to your use of all services (including services you have purchased in the past) and all subsequent purchases. If you do not agree with such changes, you will be given the opportunity to terminate your use of the MediaCAT.

Purchases and Payments

MediaCAT is priced based on usage. Sync is priced based on a per minute charge on the supplied media’s run time. Translate is based on per character pricing.
