Terms of use
The short version. Use your own footage. Judge what happens, not who it happens to. If you press Share for free promo, you allow us to show your video in our gallery and post it on Judging Cat's social media, until you ask us to stop.
Who we are
Judging Cat is run by Judging Cat, contact info@judgingcat.com. By using this site you agree to these terms.
Using the video maker
The video maker is free. Videos you make and download are yours to share wherever you like. Every video ends with the Judging Cat scene and a small Judging Cat mark. The cat photo, the logo and the name Judging Cat belong to us. You may use them as part of videos made with this site, but not separately or in a way that suggests we endorse something.
Your footage
Only upload footage that you made yourself or have permission to use. If recognisable people appear in it, make sure they are fine with it. Do not share videos showing a recognisable child under 16 without permission from their parent or guardian. You must be at least 16 to share a video.
What is not allowed
- mocking someone for their looks, body, disability, origin, religion, gender or sexuality;
- harassment, or videos of people who clearly did not want to be filmed;
- nudity, sexual content, violence, cruelty to animals or anything illegal;
- someone else's video, film, music or TV content that you have no rights to;
- private information such as addresses, number plates or phone numbers that identify someone.
Sharing for free promo
Sharing is optional. When you press Share for free promo, you give us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide permission to:
- show the video in the gallery on this website;
- post the video on Judging Cat's own social media accounts (such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts);
- make small edits for those platforms, such as cropping, trimming, adding a caption or combining it with other Judging Cat videos.
You keep the rights to your own footage. We do not sell your video or license it to others. You can end this permission at any time by emailing info@judgingcat.com; we then remove the video from the gallery and take down our own posts with it, normally within 7 days. We cannot remove copies other people made of a public post. We do not have to use a video you share, and we do not pay for shared videos.
No crypto token
Judging Cat has not issued any crypto token, coin or other crypto-asset, and does not run a presale. Any token that uses the name Judging Cat, our logo or our cat is not ours, unless it is announced on this website. We will never ask you for your wallet's private key or seed phrase. If you see a token or account pretending to be us, please email info@judgingcat.com.
Review and removal
We check every shared video before it is published and may refuse or remove any video at any time, without giving a reason. If you think a video breaks these terms or infringes your rights, email us and we will look at it quickly.
No guarantees
We offer the site as it is, without guarantees that it always works or works in every browser. We are not liable for indirect damage or for what other people do with videos you share, except where the law does not allow us to limit liability. You are responsible for the videos you upload and share.
Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version. Dutch law applies.
