The Service does not claim intellectual property rights to the original subtitles or the video content to which they relate.

AI translations generated by the Service are created automatically without creative human involvement and are provided to the User "as is" for personal use.

The extension source code is distributed under the MIT license and is available for review.

5. Paid Subscriptions and Payments

The Service offers a free plan and a paid Pro subscription. The free plan includes a limited number of translations per month.
