Terms of Service
Version 2026-10-14
The short version
- Seedling is for recording and sharing work videos, such as walkthroughs, demos, bug reports, feedback and updates.
- Your recordings belong to you. Anyone with a video's link can watch it, and you decide what you record and who you send it to.
- Don't record people without the consent the law requires, don't share things you don't have the rights to, and don't use Seedling as a public video host or file locker.
- Plans are US$8 a month or US$79 a year after a 14-day free trial, and you can cancel before any renewal.
This summary is here for convenience, and the full terms below are what apply.
1. Who these terms are between
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between Keski-Suomen Otto ja Pano Oy (Business ID 2376890-1), a company incorporated in Finland ("Seedling", "we" or "us"), and the person or organization that creates a Seedling account or uses the service ("you"). By creating an account or using Seedling you agree to these Terms. If you accept them on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you're authorized to do so, and "you" then means that organization.
Seedling is offered for business and professional use. By creating an account you confirm that you're using Seedling in the course of a business, profession or organization, and not as a consumer.
2. The service
Seedling lets you record a browser tab, your screen or your camera with the Seedling Chrome extension, store those recordings, edit them, and share them through links (the "Service"). The Service includes the website, the web app, the Chrome extension and the API.
While you have an account, we give you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service, including installing the extension, for your own business purposes and in line with these Terms. We may improve and change the Service over time. We won't materially reduce the core features you rely on (recording, sharing, trimming and downloading) during a period you've already paid for.
3. Your account
You need an account to record videos. Keep your login links, sessions and API tokens secure, because anyone holding them can act as you. You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, and you should tell us promptly at support@yourotherai.com if you think it has been compromised. Each account is for one person; please don't share accounts.
4. Free trial
New accounts get a 14-day free trial with every feature and no payment details required. Each person or organization may use one free trial. When the trial ends, recording is paused until you choose a plan, and the videos you've already made stay available to view.
If you don't start a plan, we may delete the account and its videos 90 days after the trial ends, and we'll email you at least 14 days before we do. During the trial the Service is provided as is, without the commitments in section 14, and our total liability to you for the trial is limited to US$100.
5. Plans, payment and cancellation
Prices. Seedling costs US$8 per month or US$79 per year per person, plus any applicable taxes such as VAT. Prices are shown on our website when you subscribe.
Billing. Fees are charged in advance at the start of each billing period through our payment processor, using the payment method you provide. Your plan renews automatically for the same period until you cancel.
Cancelling. You can cancel at any time. Your plan then stays active until the end of the period you've paid for and isn't renewed. Fees already paid aren't refundable, except where these Terms say otherwise or the law requires it.
Price changes. We may change prices by giving you at least 30 days' notice by email. New prices apply from your next renewal, so you have time to cancel first if you don't want to continue.
Failed payments. If a payment fails and isn't fixed within 14 days, we may pause recording until it is.
6. Your content
You own your recordings. Everything you record or upload, including videos, thumbnails, titles and edits ("Your Content"), belongs to you or your licensors.
What you let us do with it. You give us permission to store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to run the Service for you, which includes showing your videos to anyone you share a link with. We don't use Your Content for advertising, and we don't sell it.
Sharing. Every video has its own link, and anyone who has the link can watch it. You decide what to record and who to send links to. You can delete a video at any time, after which its link stops working.
Your responsibilities. You're responsible for Your Content and for having the rights and permissions it needs, including the consent of anyone who appears in or can be heard in a recording where the law requires it.
7. Acceptable use policy
Seedling is built for recording short videos of your screen, a browser tab or your camera, and sharing them with the people you work with. Typical uses are product walkthroughs, explaining new features, demos, code and design reviews, bug reports, customer support answers, onboarding and training, feedback and async status updates.
You and anyone using your account must not use Seedling to:
- Break the law, or create, store or share content that is illegal where it is created or viewed.
- Exploit children. Any child sexual abuse material is removed, the account is closed, and the material is reported to the authorities.
- Record people without the consent or notice the law requires. This includes calls, meetings and video conferences, covert recording, and using Seedling to monitor, track or surveil employees or anyone else.
- Share sexually explicit material, intimate images of anyone without their consent, or graphic violence.
- Harass, threaten, defame or dox anyone, or incite hatred or violence against any person or group, or promote terrorism or violent extremism.
- Infringe other people's rights, for example by recording and redistributing films, TV, sports, live streams, paid courses, software or other content you don't have the right to share.
- Use Seedling as a general video host, CDN or file locker. This includes publishing recordings for mass public distribution, embedding or hotlinking them on high-traffic websites, broadcasting, using recordings to deliver advertising, or storing or distributing files that weren't recorded with Seedling.
- Deceive or defraud anyone, including phishing, scams, impersonating a person or organization, or distributing malware or links to it.
- Capture sensitive information that doesn't belong in a shared video, such as health information, payment card numbers, passwords or government ID numbers. Close or hide it before you record.
- Abuse the Service, for example by creating accounts automatically or to get more than one free trial, sharing or reselling accounts or access, scraping, testing or probing our security, getting around limits or access controls, interfering with the Service, or putting an unreasonable load on it.
- Build a competing product by copying the Service, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows that despite this restriction.
Reasonable limits. We may set reasonable limits on recording length, storage and bandwidth to keep the Service healthy for everyone. We'll publish any limits or tell you before we apply them.
Enforcement. If we reasonably believe this policy has been broken, we may remove content or disable its link, suspend the account under section 12, close the account under section 13, and report illegal activity to the authorities. Where practical and legally allowed, we'll tell you what we did and why, and you can contest the decision by replying to that message.
Reporting content. Anyone can report a video they believe is illegal or breaks this policy, using the "Report this video" link on the video page or by emailing support@yourotherai.com with the video's link and the reason.
8. Personal data
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data about you as an account holder, and about the people who watch your videos.
Your recordings can contain personal data, for example the faces, voices and on-screen information of you, your colleagues or your customers. For that data, you're the controller and we act as your processor. We process it only to provide the Service and on your instructions, which are these Terms and the way you use the Service. We keep it confidential, protect it with appropriate security measures, use only the service providers listed in our Privacy Policy, help you respond to requests from the people concerned where we reasonably can, tell you without undue delay if we become aware of a breach affecting it, and delete it when you delete it or when your account is closed. If you need a separate data processing agreement, contact support@yourotherai.com.
9. Security and confidentiality
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Your Content against unauthorized access, loss or alteration, including encrypted connections, private storage and short-lived access links. We treat Your Content as confidential and only disclose it as you direct (for example through share links), to our service providers so they can run the Service, or when the law requires us to. If we're legally required to disclose it, we'll tell you first where the law allows.
10. Our intellectual property and feedback
We and our licensors own the Service, including the software, the extension, the design and the Seedling name and logo. These Terms don't give you any rights in them other than the right to use the Service. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely without owing you anything, and we won't name you as the source without your permission.
11. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party services, such as Google Chrome, our hosting and storage providers and our payment processor. Your use of Chrome and of any service you connect is governed by that provider's own terms.
12. Suspension
We may suspend your access to all or part of the Service if you break section 7, if your payment is more than 14 days overdue, or if your use puts the Service, other customers or anyone else at risk of harm. Where practical we'll warn you first so you can fix the problem, unless the situation is urgent or warning you would be unlawful. We'll restore access once the issue is resolved.
13. Ending the agreement
You can stop using Seedling and close your account at any time.
We can end this agreement if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms and, where the breach can be fixed, you haven't fixed it within 30 days of our notice. We can close an account immediately for a serious breach of section 7. We can also stop offering the Service altogether by giving at least 60 days' notice, in which case we'll refund any fees you've paid for the time after the Service ends.
Your videos. Until your account is closed you can download the original of any recording. After your account is closed we'll delete Your Content within 60 days, except for copies we have to keep by law or that remain for a short time in routine backups, which stay protected under section 9 until they're overwritten.
14. Our commitments
We'll provide the Service with reasonable skill and care, and it will work materially as described on our website. If it doesn't, tell us at support@yourotherai.com and we'll work to fix it or find a reasonable workaround. If we can't do that within 30 days, you can cancel your plan and we'll refund the fees you've prepaid for the rest of the billing period.
We also don't make any other promises about the Service. It's provided "as is" and "as available", and to the extent the law allows we disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
15. Liability
Limit. To the extent the law allows, each party's total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms is limited to the fees you paid to us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the liability.
No indirect losses. To the extent the law allows, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill or business interruption, even if it knew these losses were possible.
Exceptions. These limits don't apply to your payment obligations, to claims under section 16, or to liability that can't be limited by law, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
16. Claims about your content
If someone makes a claim against us because of Your Content, or because you or someone using your account broke section 7, you'll defend us against it and cover the damages, costs and reasonable legal fees we're ordered to pay or that you agree to in a settlement. We'll tell you promptly about the claim, let you control its defense and settlement (though you can't settle in a way that admits fault on our behalf without our consent), and cooperate reasonably at your expense.
17. Support
You can reach us at support@yourotherai.com. We aim to reply within two business days (Finland). We don't offer a formal service level agreement, but we work hard to keep Seedling available and will tell you about planned maintenance that could affect you.
18. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or to the law. We'll email you at least 30 days before a material change takes effect, and the changes won't apply retroactively. If you don't agree, you can cancel before the changes take effect and we'll refund the fees you've prepaid for the rest of your billing period. If you keep using Seedling after that, the updated Terms apply.
19. General
Governing law and courts. These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, excluding its conflict of law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the District Court of Helsinki (Helsingin käräjäoikeus).
Notices. We'll send notices to the email address on your account, and you can send notices to support@yourotherai.com.
Transfer. You can't transfer these Terms to anyone else without our consent. We can transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business, and we'll let you know if that happens.
Events outside our control. Neither party is responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as major internet or utility outages, natural disasters, war or government action. This doesn't affect your obligation to pay fees already due.
Sanctions and export. You confirm that you're not subject to sanctions and won't use the Service in breach of applicable export control or sanctions laws.
Everything else. These Terms are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier discussions. If a court finds part of them unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a right straight away, we can still enforce it later. Nobody other than you and us has rights under these Terms. These Terms are written in English, and the English version applies if they're ever translated.
