2. Scope of License & Permitted Use

- You represent and warrant that you own or hold all necessary copyrights, licenses, model releases, property releases, and legal permissions required to load and process any Reference Image, Target Photo, or Target Video in CineCube.

5. Production, Color-Accuracy & Data Backup Disclaimers
5.1 Mandatory Backup of Original Camera Footage & Photos
Color grading, multi-photo batch rendering, 4K/ProRes video transcoding, and .CUBE LUT generation are hardware-intensive operations that depend on available device storage, thermal headroom, and system resources:
- YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING INDEPENDENT, VERIFIED BACKUPS OF ALL ORIGINAL PHOTOS, RAW CAMERA FOOTAGE, VIDEO CLIPS, AND .CUBE FILES BEFORE IMPORTING, GRADING, OR EXPORTING WITH CINECUBE.
- Developer shall have zero liability for any lost, overwritten, truncated, or corrupted photos, video files, audio tracks, metadata, or .CUBE files, or for any missed commercial shoot deadlines, client rejections, or re-shoot expenses.
5.2 Display Calibration & Third-Party NLE Color Pipeline Differences
Perceptual color appearance depends on display hardware (OLED True Tone, Night Shift, P3 Display vs. sRGB, HDR headroom), camera exposure, and how third-party NLEs (such as DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut) configure their color management settings, gamma tags, LUT interpolation, and video luminance ranges. Developer does not warrant that a .CUBE LUT or video export will render identically across every third-party display, broadcast monitor, or desktop editing timeline without user verification.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties ("AS IS" & "AS AVAILABLE")
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CINECUBE AND ALL GENERATED .CUBE LUTS, PRESETS, COLOR TRANSFERS, AND EXPORTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND—WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY—INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, BROADCAST OR DCI COMPLIANCE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS.
DEVELOPER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, FREE OF MEMORY OR RENDERING TERMINATIONS ON ALL RESOLUTIONS, OR COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY FUTURE VERSION OF iOS, iPadOS, macOS, OR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY DEVELOPER SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.
7. Limitation of Liability & Maximum Liability Cap
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- No Consequential or Indirect Damages: IN NO EVENT SHALL DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF CLIENT REVENUE, CORRUPTION OR LOSS OF PHOTOS, VIDEOS, OR DATA, FAILURE TO TRANSMIT OR EXPORT ANY MEDIA, PRODUCTION DELAYS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE CINECUBE, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF DEVELOPER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- Aggregate Liability Cap: IN NO EVENT SHALL DEVELOPER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

- (B) TEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($10.00 USD).
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY EVEN IF THE ABOVE STATED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY APPLY TO YOU ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH STATUTES.
8. User Indemnification (Hold Harmless)
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Developer (Majid AlJishi), and his affiliates, licensors, and service providers, from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, lawsuits, regulatory actions, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of or relating to:
