These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Chitravan Studio ("Service"), operated by Chitravan Technologies("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Chitravan Studio is an AI-powered creative platform for producing short-form videos (primarily YouTube Shorts). The Service enables you to:
- Generate scripts, voiceovers, keyframe images, video clips, and complete assembled videos using third-party AI models.
- Upload your own audio, images, video clips, or character reference images to use in projects.
- Optionally connect a YouTube channel (via Google OAuth 2.0, read-only scopes) to map each Chitravan episode to the video you published, and view per-video analytics inside your Chitravan dashboard.
The Service is provided on a credit-based model. Credits are consumed when AI generation tasks are performed. Uploading assets and viewing analytics do not consume credits.
