24. Platform Usage Limits and Infrastructure Protection

  • Maximum file upload sizes
  • Rendering duration limits
  • Concurrent job limits

  • Automated scraping or downloading of system resources

99 North Media, Inc. may throttle, suspend, or terminate accounts that exceed reasonable usage limits.

99 North Media, Inc. reserves the right to suspend the offending account, limit resource access, or charge the user for the excess infrastructure costs incurred.

Users agree that they may be held responsible for reasonable infrastructure costs resulting from misuse of the Service.

26. Fair Use of Rendering and Processing Resources

Rendering and media processing systems are shared among users. To ensure fair access, users agree not to:

  • Submit automated batch jobs designed to monopolize rendering resources
  • Continuously reprocess identical content to exploit platform compute capacity
  • Use the Service as a general-purpose compute engine unrelated to video editing
  • Attempt to manipulate system scheduling

99 North Media, Inc. reserves the right to queue, delay, prioritize, or cancel processing jobs to maintain system performance. No guarantees are made regarding rendering speed or job completion times.

27. API and Automation Restrictions

If the Service provides API endpoints, integrations, or automation capabilities, users agree that they will not:

  • Reverse engineer the platform
  • Attempt to extract proprietary algorithms or processing methods

  • The formation of a legally binding electronic contract
  • Electronic storage of acceptance records
  • The use of electronic communications for notices related to the Service

99 North Media, Inc. may maintain records including user ID, timestamp of acceptance, IP address, and Terms version accepted. These records constitute proof of agreement.

29. Entire Agreement

These Terms, along with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and related legal policies, constitute the entire agreement between the user and 99 North Media, Inc. regarding the use of the Service. They supersede all prior agreements, communications, or understandings relating to the platform.

30. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Training Protection

The 99 North Media platform may utilize automated systems, artificial intelligence, or machine learning technologies to operate, improve, and maintain the Service.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing by 99 North Media, Inc., user-uploaded content is not used to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models intended for public or commercial deployment outside the operation of the Service.

User content may be processed by automated systems solely for purposes including:

  • Rendering video outputs
  • Encoding or transcoding media
  • Applying editing effects or transformations
  • Improving platform stability and reliability
  • Detecting abuse, fraud, or security threats
  • Optimizing system performance

Users acknowledge that certain automated processing may involve temporary computational analysis of uploaded content.

Except where expressly authorized by the user or required to operate the Service, 99 North Media, Inc. does not claim ownership of user content and does not use such content to train external or generalized AI models.

Users further acknowledge and agree that:

  • Automated systems may analyze media files for the purpose of providing platform functionality
  • Temporary processing of content by machine learning systems does not constitute ownership or redistribution of user content
  • Such processing is necessary to operate modern cloud-based media services

To the maximum extent permitted by law, users waive any claim that automated processing performed by the Service constitutes unauthorized training, copying, or exploitation of user media.
