Terms of Takehound

Last updated November 11, 2026.

Takehound is a video editor in your browser with an AI editor in it, Hound. It is run by Kyle Tran. By using it you agree to these terms. They are written to be read. If you have a question, the address is at the end.

Your footage and your videos

What you upload and the videos you make stay yours. You need the right to use what you upload, and you are responsible for what you publish. Takehound never uses your footage to train a model: the privacy page says what is sent where and how long it is kept.

An MP4 you export while your account is not on a paid monthly plan carries a small Made with Takehound mark on the picture. An MP4 you export while your account is on a paid monthly plan does not. Other exports, such as the timeline for DaVinci Resolve, never carry it.

Hound can make mistakes. Watch what he made before you publish it. A picture he brings in of something you named, such as a book cover, is not licensed by us, and he tells you which ones those are. Whether to publish them is your call.

What you may not do

Don't use Takehound for anything illegal, to harm someone, or with footage of other people that you have no right to use. Don't try to break it or get around its limits. Don't make more than one account to collect free credits.

Credits

Credits are how jobs in the editor are paid for. A credit is a prepaid right to use Takehound. It is not money, it has no cash value, and it can't be sold or passed to another account.

Credits don't expire. They last as long as your account does and as long as Takehound runs. If Takehound ever closes, you will have at least 30 days' notice to use them. Deleting your account deletes your credits, so use them or ask for a refund first.

The editor shows what a job uses before it runs, and it never uses more. The pricing page has what each job uses. If that changes, the new numbers go on that page at least 30 days before they apply.

A job that fails on our side costs nothing, and its credits come back by themselves.

Monthly plans

A monthly plan charges your card its price when you start and again every month, on the same date, until you cancel. Each payment adds that plan's credits to your balance. Credits you do not use roll over with no cap.

Launch offer. Start a plan by Nov 30 and get a second month of credits free. The second month is that plan's monthly credits, added once more. For new subscribers, once per account. The extra credits are added when your first payment goes through, and like all credits they do not expire. Offer ends Nov 30, 2026, at 11:59 pm Pacific time. A renewal, a change of plan, or a plan started again after cancelling does not add them.

You can cancel at any time with one press on your account page. The plan then ends when the month you paid for ends, nothing more is charged, and you keep every credit you hold. If you move up to a larger plan, you pay that day only the difference between the two plans' prices for the time left in the month you have paid for, and you get the same share of the difference between their monthly credits. Stripe works the amount out to the second, and you see it before you pay. The date your plan renews on stays the same, and from that date you pay the larger plan's price. If you start a smaller plan, or the same plan again, it is a new plan: you pay its whole price that day, and the old one ends at once. If a payment fails, Stripe tries again, and the plan ends if it keeps failing. If the price of a plan changes, we tell you at least 30 days before, and you can cancel first.

Prices, and when we test them

Prices are in US dollars. Tax is added where it applies, and you see it before you pay. Payments are handled by Stripe, and outside the US Stripe may be the seller of record.

We sometimes test a price by showing it to the people who arrive from one link. When a test ends, anyone who paid more than the lowest price in it gets the difference added as credits.

Refunds

Within 14 days of a payment, you can ask for a refund of the credits from it that you have not used, and the money goes back to your card. Credits you have used, and free credits, are not refunded.

If a refund or a card dispute goes through, the credits from that purchase come off your balance. This does not limit any right to a refund you have by law where you live.

Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from the account page, which ends any plan on it at once. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms. Unless that is for fraud, the bought credits it has not used are refunded.

What we can promise

Takehound is provided as it is, and it may change or be unavailable at times. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, and what we owe you for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it.

Changes

If these terms change, we update them here and change the date at the top. If a change matters to you we say so in the editor. These terms are governed by the laws of the US state where Kyle Tran is based.
