Terms of Use – NinoClip

Last updated: 2026-11-04

Welcome to NinoClip! These Terms and Conditions of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of NinoClip, provided by Jalloft ("Jalloft", "we", "our" or "us"), in all of its forms:

• the Android application ("App");
• the studio in your browser, at ninoclip.com ("Web Studio");
• the website and the Community at ninoclip.com.

We call the three together the "Services". Where these Terms say only "App", the rule applies equally to the Web Studio, except where the text distinguishes between them.

By downloading, installing, accessing or using any of the Services, you ("User", "you" or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

1.1. Drawing, animating and exporting require no account and no minimum age — that part runs entirely on your device, in the App, and in your browser, in the Web Studio. NinoClip is not directed at children: the Android App shows ads and tells Google that it is not intended for people under the age of consent. Children under 13 should only use it with a parent or guardian.

1.2. To use the Community (publishing, liking, commenting and following) you confirm that you are at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required by the law of your country, if higher.

1.3. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you must use the Community under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.

2. Description of the Service

NinoClip is a frame-by-frame animation editor. The Services let you:

• Create projects and draw frame by frame with brushes, layers, selection and shapes;
• Add audio — recorded by you or taken from the sound library;
• Export the animation as MP4, WebM or GIF;
• Optionally publish animations to the Community, like, comment, follow other people and remix projects their authors have released.

The toolset is not identical across the two versions and changes over time. The App exports to your device gallery; the Web Studio downloads the file through your browser, in whichever format your browser is able to record.

Where your projects live. In the App, in your device's storage. In the Web Studio, in the browser's own storage — which means that clearing the site's data deletes the projects, that they do not follow you to another browser or another device, and that a private window loses them when it closes. Export the project file (`.nino`) for anything you want to keep or carry with you. This holds even if you have an account: the account serves the Community, it does not store your projects.

Using the editor requires no account, in the App or in the browser. The Community requires an account and a connection.

3. Account

3.1. The Community account is created with Google Sign-In or with email and password, your choice. When it is created with email and password, the address must be confirmed through the link we send before the account counts in the Community.

3.2. You choose a unique username (@) that identifies you publicly. Usernames impersonating another person, a brand or the App's own team may be changed or removed.

3.3. You are responsible for the security of whatever you sign in with — your Google account or your password — and for all activity on your App account.

3.4. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. Price, advertising and NinoClip Pro

4.1. NinoClip is free to download and use. The free version shows ads and has locked items: brush packs beyond the built-in one, papers beyond the three free ones, and more than four layers per project. These items can be unlocked as described in clauses 4.3 and 4.4.

4.2. Ads: they are served by Google AdMob and appear when you open or return to the App, on the home screen, between community posts, when you open a project and on the export screen. Those shown among the App's content carry the "Sponsored" label. The data processing involved is described in the Privacy Policy. Tapping an ad takes you outside the App, to third-party content for which we are not responsible.

4.3. Rewarded ads: you can choose to watch a short ad to unlock one item, in one project, for one hour, at no cost. When the time is up, what you have already made is not undone: the layers you created stay in the project, but creating another one requires a new ad.

4.4. NinoClip Pro: a monthly or yearly subscription that removes all ads and unlocks all locked items, in every project, while it is active. It renews automatically at the end of each period, at the plan's price, until you cancel in your Google Play account (Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). If you cancel, Pro continues until the end of the period already paid. There is no free trial.

4.5. Payment: every purchase is made through Google Play Billing, at the price shown before you confirm, in your country's currency and with its taxes. The subscription is tied to your Google Play account, not to your Community account: it can be restored on another device with the same Google Play account, under Restore purchase, and deleting your Community account does not cancel it. Refunds follow Google Play's policy.

4.6. When the subscription ends, the App returns to the free version. Your projects stay on your device and what you have already made in them is not undone; using a locked item again requires an ad or a new subscription.

4.7. We may change prices and what Pro includes. A change to the subscription price follows Google Play's rules and notices.

4.8. Pro and the ads described in this section exist only in the Android App; the Web Studio does not have them.

5. Your content

5.1. You retain ownership of everything you create in the App: your drawings, animations, recorded audio, text and projects.

5.2. By publishing to the Community, you grant Jalloft a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display and distribute that content, solely for the purpose of operating the App and showing your post to people according to the visibility you chose. That licence ends when you delete the post or the account, except for copies already shared by third parties or temporary technical retention.

5.3. You represent that you have the right to publish what you publish and that the content does not infringe third-party rights.

5.4. We may remove content that breaches these Terms, with or without prior notice.

5.5. To show posts and profiles in another language, your text may be translated automatically by a Google translation service.

6. Community rules

The NinoClip Community exists to share animations. You may not publish, comment or place on your profile:

6.1. Sexual or sexualised content, especially any content involving minors — which results in immediate removal, permanent ban and, where applicable, reporting to the authorities;

6.2. Gratuitous violence, cruelty, self-harm, encouragement of suicide or drug use;

6.3. Harassment, threats, hate speech or discrimination;

6.4. Content exposing another person without consent, including someone else's personal data;

6.5. Links, website addresses, handles from other networks, phone numbers or invitations to talk outside the App — because of the risk this poses in a community that includes teenagers;

6.6. Spam, advertising, chain messages or manipulation of likes and followers;

6.7. Third-party content you have no right to use;

6.8. Use of automated tools, bots or scripts, attempts to bypass the App's limits and checks, or reverse engineering of the application.

7. Moderation

7.1. Comments pass through an automatic filter before appearing. Anything that looks like contact information or improper content is held for human review.

7.2. Profile name and bio go through the same check and may be automatically cleared when they contain contacts or links.

7.3. Anyone can report a post or a comment. Reported content may be hidden while it is reviewed.

7.4. You can block another user: their posts and comments stop appearing for you.

7.5. The author of a post may delete comments made on it, as one moderates one's own house.

7.6. We may remove content, hide posts, suspend or terminate accounts that breach these Terms, in proportion to the offence — and without prior notice in the severe cases of clause 6.1.

7.7. Some Community accounts may be run by the NinoClip team and automatically publish animations from our collection.

8. Remix

8.1. When publishing, you decide whether to release your animation for remix. If you do, the project file (frames, layers and audio) becomes available so other people can open a copy of it in their own editor.

8.2. By releasing the remix, you grant other users a non-exclusive licence to use that project within the App, creating derivative works. The App records and displays credit to the original author.

8.3. Derivative posts remain subject to these Terms, and the original author may report uses that break the rules.

8.4. The decision applies to what has already been downloaded: turning remix off later prevents new copies but does not undo those already made.

9. Third-party audio

9.1. The App's sound library uses the Freesound archive, restricted to sounds under CC0 and CC BY licences.

9.2. Where the licence requires attribution (CC BY), the App records the credit in the project and displays it. Keeping that credit is your responsibility when publishing the animation inside or outside the App.

9.3. Audio you record or import is your responsibility, including as to third-party rights.

10. Storage limit

Each account has 200 MB of space for media published to the Community, with per-post limits (video up to 30 MB, cover up to 300 KB, remix package up to 60 MB). Once the limit is reached, you must delete old posts to publish new ones. These limits may be adjusted; changes that reduce the space will be announced in advance.

11. Service availability

We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Community at any time. The editor and the projects you already have do not depend on our servers to work — in the App, not even to open; in the Web Studio, once the page has loaded. We recommend exporting the animations you want to preserve.

12. Intellectual Property

12.1. All rights in the App — including design, code, graphics, logos and trademarks — belong to Jalloft.

12.2. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the App under these Terms. The animations you create are yours and may be used for any purpose, including commercial ones.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". JALLOFT MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE APP FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE. WE RECOMMEND KEEPING COPIES OF YOUR IMPORTANT ANIMATIONS.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, JALLOFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM USE OF THE APP, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Jalloft harmless from any claims, damages, losses or expenses (including legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the App, (b) your breach of these Terms, or (c) the content you published.

16. Termination

16.1. Voluntary deletion: you may delete your account at any time from within the App (Profile → settings → Delete my account) or through our self-service deletion page. This erases your posts, media, comments, likes and profile. Projects stored on your device or in your browser are not affected — deleting the account does not erase your work, and clearing your browser data does not delete your account. This does not cancel a NinoClip Pro subscription: cancel it in Google Play.

16.2. Suspension by Jalloft: we may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these Terms.

16.3. Effects: upon termination, your right to use the Community ceases immediately. Legitimate copies already made by other users — such as remixes you authorised — remain with them, with the recorded credit.

17. Modifications

17.1. We may update these Terms. Changes take effect upon publication.

17.2. We will announce significant changes in the App. Continued use after the changes constitutes acceptance.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Any disputes shall be submitted to the courts of Brazil, without prejudice to any other jurisdiction applicable under consumer protection law (including the LGPD and the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code).

For users in the European Economic Area, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under applicable law, including the GDPR.
