By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any part of the mocka.screen application or mocka.studio services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

Payments: purchases are sold and processed by Polar (polar.sh), our merchant of record, which handles checkout, taxes and invoices under its own terms. AI features send the content you submit to the AI providers listed in our Privacy Policy.

To access certain features (such as subscription management, cloud video sharing, and desktop license activation), you must create an account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and promptly update your email if it changes. Logins cannot be shared or used by more than one individual per account seat, but may be reassigned to a new team member upon written notice.

mocka.studio operates on a direct paid subscription model for mocka.screen. There is no free plan. Prices are in US dollars. The plans and prices below are the same as on our pricing page; if they ever differ, the pricing page at checkout controls. Current features are detailed on our Pricing Page.

• Payment Gateways: We partner with trusted, PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant Merchant of Record and payment gateways (including Polar.sh and Stripe) to securely process card payments, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. mocka.studio does not store your full credit card number.
• Taxes: Prices are shown before any applicable tax. Polar, as merchant of record, adds, collects and remits sales tax, VAT or GST where the law requires it, and issues the invoice.
• Proration on Upgrades: If you upgrade your subscription tier (such as moving from Pro Monthly to Pro Annual), your invoice will be prorated based on the remaining days of your current cycle.
• Automatic Renewal: Subscription fees are billed in advance on the recurring date specified at checkout. Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel it prior to the renewal date.
• Cancellation: You can cancel your subscription at any time via your Account Dashboard or by emailing support@mocka.studio. Upon cancellation, you will retain full Pro access until the conclusion of your current paid billing period.

We want you to feel confident investing in mocka.screen. To ensure fair use while managing underlying computation and third-party AI provider costs, mocka.studio offers a 14-day 100% money-back refund guarantee from the date of your initial purchase under the following conditions:

• 0 Credits Used Requirement: You are fully eligible for a 100% refund within 14 days of your initial purchase only if you have not used any of your account AI credits. Testing or rendering local screen recording exports without consuming cloud AI credits maintains your full refund eligibility.
• Non-Refundable Once AI Credits Are Consumed: Once any credits from your allocated quota have been consumed (for ElevenLabs voice synthesis, AI transcription, speech-to-script, or neural analysis), your subscription becomes strictly non-refundable due to the immediate and irreversible third-party GPU and API compute costs incurred.
• Recurring Renewals: Subsequent renewal periods after the initial 14-day window are non-refundable. You may cancel anytime with 1-click via your billing portal to prevent any future renewals.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and active subscription tier, mocka.studio grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and execute the mocka.screen desktop application on macOS.

For copyright, send the details above to abuse@mocka.studio; a notice should identify the work, the infringing link and your authority to act.

* Copyright notices (DMCA): to report copyright infringement in a video hosted on mocka.studio, email abuse@mocka.studio with (a) the work you say was infringed, (b) the mocka.studio URL of the material, (c) your name, address, phone and email, (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law, (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, and (f) your physical or electronic signature.

To ensure the stability and safety of our offerings, all users agree not to engage in prohibited activities:

mocka.studio reserves the right to immediately suspend or permanently terminate access to cloud sharing services and revoke desktop application activations for accounts in breach of this Acceptable Use Policy.

To showcase real-world adoption of mocka.screen by creators, software engineering teams, product designers, and media organizations:

• Customer Reference & Logo Permission (opt-in only): Signing up with a business or institutional email address does not give us any right to use your organization's name or logo. We will display an organization's name, trade name or logo in customer showcases or promotional materials only after an authorized person from that organization has given us explicit written permission (for example, by email), and only to identify the organization as a user of mocka.screen.
• No Implied Endorsement: mocka.studio will not state or imply that your organization officially sponsors or endorses our software without a separate written agreement.
• Withdrawal: You or your organization may withdraw this permission at any time by sending an email with your organization's domain to support@mocka.studio. Upon receipt, mocka.studio will remove your entity's name and logo from active digital marketing materials within five (5) business days.

When you publish a video or capture to mocka.studio Cloud:

We strive to maintain high availability and redundancy. However, mocka.studio Cloud is intended as a sharing and collaboration platform, not an archival cold storage backup. Users are encouraged to maintain local copies of critical video recordings.

Local-First Architecture: Unlike browser-dependent recording tools that fail during network dropouts, the mocka.screen desktop application captures, mixes audio, and renders video directly on your local hardware (GPU/CPU). No internet connection is required to record or export high-resolution media locally.

For online cloud features (including authentication and instant link sharing), mocka.studio targets a 99.9% uptime availability benchmark, excluding scheduled maintenance windows announced in advance or Force Majeure events.

You may terminate your agreement with mocka.studio at any time by requesting account deletion through your dashboard or by emailing privacy@mocka.studio.

Upon receipt of a verified deletion request:

• Your account profile and authentication records will be deactivated immediately.
• All cloud-hosted videos, shared links, and thumbnails will be permanently wiped from our edge storage within 48 hours.
• Any active subscriptions will be cancelled with no further billing cycles.

Important Legal Disclaimer:

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to the informal resolution step below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services shall be finally settled by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 before a sole arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement (failing which, as that Act provides). The seat and venue of arbitration is Gandhinagar, Gujarat, the language is English, and the courts at Gandhinagar, Gujarat have exclusive jurisdiction over matters that are not arbitrable and for proceedings in support of arbitration.

Consumers: if you use our services as a consumer, nothing in these Terms removes the mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live. In India you keep your rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, including the right to approach the Consumer Commission and the National Consumer Helpline, and you may bring a claim in your local courts where the law allows.

Informal Resolution First: Before initiating any formal legal dispute or arbitration, you agree to contact us at legal@mocka.studio with a brief description of the issue. Both parties agree to engage in good-faith negotiations for at least 30 days to resolve the matter amicably.

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect improvements to our software, changes in legislation, or standard industry practices. When changes occur, we will update the "Last Modified" date at the top of this document.

For material changes that significantly affect your rights, we will provide prominent advance notice (such as an email notification or an announcement in the desktop app) prior to the new terms taking effect. Continued use of mocka.screen or mocka.studio services after updates constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.
