Termsof Use

1) Description of the Service

GLworm is a Windows desktop application that analyses recorded gameplay and produces video clips, montages, vertical reels, and overlays from those recordings. Recordings, analysis, and generated clips are processed and stored locally on your computer — see the Privacy Policy.

Automatic highlight detection is available for the games we explicitly support, and that list may grow or change over time. Games you add yourself are available for tagging and organising your library, without automatic detection. We do not promise that detection will find every highlight or that it will be free of mistakes.

The App requires 64-bit Windows and an internet connection to sign in. It cannot be used without an account.

2) Accounts & Authentication

• Using the App requires an account. You can sign in with Google, with an email address and password, or with a sign-in link sent to your email.
• Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication. We may require you to verify your email address.
• You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity that happens under your account.
• You may ask us to delete your account at any time by emailing support@glworm.com. Deleting your account does not delete the videos and clips on your own computer, which remain yours.
• We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or misuse the service.

3) How You Get The App

GLworm is distributed in two ways:

• Through the Microsoft Store, which handles installation and updates. Your use of the Store is also subject to Microsoft’s own terms.
• As an installer downloaded from this Site, which installs for your Windows user only. This is also the version that lets you exercise the open-source rights described in section 8.

Both contain the same application. Subscriptions are purchased through this Site with Stripe in either case, not through the Microsoft Store.

4) Plans & What Each One Includes

Your exports are not watermarked. GLworm adds nothing to a clip you save, on any plan. The “Powered by GLworm.com” badge is available as a sticker you can place yourself in the editor, and it reaches a clip only if you put it there.

Plan features, limits, and pricing may be updated. Changes apply going forward and do not retroactively change what you have already paid for, unless required by law. Current pricing is on the Pricing page.

5) Payments & Subscriptions

• Paid subscriptions are processed through Stripe.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. We do not store full payment card details.
• You may cancel at any time. Cancellation stops future billing, and your access continues until the end of the current billing period.
• No refunds, unless required by applicable law.
• If a payment fails or a subscription ends, your access reverts to the free plan described above.
• Prices are shown exclusive of any taxes that may apply in your jurisdiction unless stated otherwise.

6) Your Content & Sharing

Your recordings and the clips GLworm makes from them are yours. The App does not upload them to us, and we claim no ownership of and no licence over them.

You are responsible for having the right to use the footage you process, and for how you share what you produce — including the rules of the games you record, the policies of the platforms you post to, and copyright law generally.

7) Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App or the Site for illegal or unlawful purposes.
• Process content you do not have the rights to, or produce content that infringes someone else’s rights.
• Abuse, interfere with, or disrupt the App, the Site, or related services.
• Circumvent plan limits or any other licensing mechanism, or help others do so.
• Share or resell accounts or subscriptions.

You also agree not to reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App — except where that restriction is prohibited by applicable law, or where the licence of an open-source component included in the App permits it, including modifying and relinking those components for your own use as described in section 8.

8) Third-Party & Open-Source Components

GLworm includes third-party open-source software, including Qt and FFmpeg (both licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License), OpenCV, ONNX Runtime, DirectML, polyclipping, Tabler Icons, and the Inter typeface.

Those components are licensed to you under their own terms, and nothing in these Terms limits your rights under them. Where those terms conflict with these Terms, the component’s licence governs that component.

The LGPL gives you the right to replace the Qt and FFmpeg libraries with your own compatible builds and keep using GLworm. The installer published on this Site exists so that right is exercisable, because a Microsoft Store package is sandboxed and cannot offer it. Full attribution, the installer download link, replacement instructions, and our written offer for the material needed to relink are in the Open-Source Components section of the Privacy Policy.

9) Intellectual Property

The App and the Site, including software, design, and branding, are owned by GLworm and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms and to section 8, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App.

10) Availability & Changes to the Service

We may add, change, or discontinue features, supported games, or the service itself. We may also release updated versions of the App, and some features may require you to be on a current version. We will not remove your ability to access clips you have already produced on your own computer.

11) Disclaimer of Warranties

The App and the Site are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, that highlight detection will be accurate, or that the App will meet your specific requirements. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of footage that matters to you.

12) Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GLworm will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of footage, loss of profits, or business interruption arising from your use of or inability to use the App or the Site.

13) Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or misuse the service. You may stop using the App at any time and uninstall it. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases, while the files on your own computer remain yours.

14) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the App or the Site after the update means you accept the revised Terms.
