Terms

The editor is open source and yours to use. These terms cover the hosted parts, and set expectations for young software.

Last updated 6 August 2026

The editor is licensed, not sold

Premation is distributed under GNU AGPL v3.0. That licence is the agreement for the software itself: you may run, study, modify and redistribute it on those terms, including commercially. Nothing on this page narrows the rights that licence grants you.

It is young software, and that matters

The current build is 1.0.4, stable. The project file format is still moving. Keep copies of work you cannot afford to lose, and expect to hit rough edges.

The software is provided as-is, without warranty, as stated in the licence. That is not boilerplate here: it is an accurate description of a young project.

Your work is yours

We claim no rights over anything you make with Premation — compositions, renders, exported files, or projects you sync to the cloud edition. Storing a project on our infrastructure does not give us a licence to use it.

The cloud edition

Cloud accounts are optional. Every account includes the Free plan: 5 cloud projects and 7 days of version history, with no card. Premation Cloud ($9 a month or $90 a year) lifts those limits; it is billed through Lemon Squeezy, renews until you cancel, and cancelling keeps your paid access to the end of the period you paid for. Projects past the Free allowance become read-only; we never delete them for being over it. Prices change on the pricing page first, and never for a period you have already paid for.

We may suspend an account that is being used to attack the service, to host unlawful material, or to resell hosted rendering as a service of its own. You can export your projects and self-host at any time; that path is deliberately always open.

The AI assistant

The assistant runs on your provider key, under your account with that provider, and their terms apply to what it generates. We do not guarantee that generated output is correct, original, or suitable for a given use. Review it the way you would review any other edit, which is what the undo history is for.
