Terms of Service

1. Using the site

By accessing The Champagne Edit, you agree to use the website and its materials lawfully and responsibly. If you do not agree with these terms, please stop using the site.

The Champagne Edit is an independent editorial project. References to “The Champagne Edit,” “we,” or “us” in these terms mean the project responsible for publishing the website and its educational materials.

2. About the educational service

The Champagne Edit publishes general educational material about video editing, captions, short-form production, workflow, and AI-assisted tools. Some material may also be delivered as a downloadable or emailed guide.

Public articles may be updated, reorganized, corrected, or removed as editing software and editorial practices change. Access to the public website does not create an employment, consulting, training, or professional-services relationship.

3. Informational-use disclaimer

The guides provide general information, examples, and suggested review steps. They are not a guarantee of a particular creative, technical, commercial, or professional result.

Editing tools behave differently depending on software version, device, source footage, language, audio quality, format, and export settings. You remain responsible for reviewing your project, checking the rights to use its material, and confirming that the final delivery meets your requirements.

4. Intellectual property

You may read The Champagne Edit articles, download materials offered for that purpose, and apply the educational ideas to your own editing work.

Unless permission or applicable law allows it, you may not republish an entire guide, sell copies of a downloadable resource, remove attribution from a distributed asset, or present The Champagne Edit material as your own. Product names and trademarks mentioned in editorial examples remain the property of their respective owners.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• interfere with the operation or security of the website;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to form, hosting, or email systems;
• use the contact form to send abusive, unlawful, deceptive, or automated bulk messages;
• submit another person’s private or confidential information without permission;
• misrepresent an affiliation with The Champagne Edit;
• use the materials in a way that infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights.

6. Third-party tools and links

The site may discuss or link to editing software, AI tools, documentation, and other third-party resources. Mentioning a tool does not mean The Champagne Edit owns, controls, or endorses it.

Third-party services have their own terms, privacy practices, availability, and pricing. Review those terms before uploading footage, voices, faces, client material, or other protected content.

7. Availability and changes

The site is provided on an as-available basis. The Champagne Edit may correct errors, update guides, change navigation, or temporarily suspend access for maintenance or security reasons.

No promise is made that every article will remain compatible with every version of an editing application. Where a control has moved, use the current official documentation and apply the broader editorial method described in the guide.

8. Warranties and limitations

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the materials are provided for general educational use without a promise that they are complete, error-free, or suitable for a particular project.

You are responsible for reviewing your footage, project files, tool settings, rights clearances, and final exports. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when the site, its materials, or its service providers change. The “Last updated” date identifies the most recent published version.

10. Contact
