Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of uncompressed.io, a high-bitrate video hosting service operated from Québec, Canada. By creating an account or uploading a file, you agree to them.

The service

uncompressed.io streams your master file byte-for-byte. We do not re-encode, transcode or otherwise alter your footage — the exact file you upload is the file your viewers receive. Storage is the only meter: there are no bandwidth caps, and streaming is unlimited on every plan.

Your content and your rights

You own everything you upload. We claim no ownership of your footage. You keep full responsibility for having the rights to everything you upload — including the footage itself, any music, and any other material it contains. You grant us only the limited licence needed to store and stream your files to the viewers you choose, for the purpose of operating the service.

Acceptable use

You agree not to upload or distribute through the service:

• content you do not have the rights to, or that infringes anyone’s copyright or other rights;
• content that is illegal under the laws of Québec or Canada;
• child sexual abuse material (CSAM) — this results in immediate termination and reporting to the authorities;
• malware, viruses, or files designed to harm or compromise systems.

We may suspend or remove content, and close accounts, that violate these rules.

Copyright — notice and takedown

We follow a Canadian notice-and-notice approach. If you are a rights holder and believe content on uncompressed.io infringes your copyright, email a notice to hello@uncompressed.io identifying the work, the URL of the allegedly infringing content, and your contact information. We will forward your notice to the account holder and, where appropriate, act on it — including removing the content or disabling access.

Billing

Paid plans are billed through Stripe, monthly or annually. Current tiers are:

• Free — 1 GB of storage.
• Lite — $9.
• Pro — $25.
• Max — $50.
• Ultra — $125.

You can cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal. Applicable taxes are added at checkout. Because storage is the only meter, your plan is defined by how much you store, not by how much your videos are watched.

Free accounts and inactivity

Videos on free accounts are cleared after 30 days of inactivity. We send an email warning before anything is deleted, so you can sign in or upgrade to keep your files.

Keep your own backups

uncompressed.io is a delivery and hosting service, not a backup service. Always keep your own copies of your masters. We are not responsible for lost files.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from the service is limited to the amount of fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. The service is provided “as is,” without warranties beyond those that cannot be excluded by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable there, and any dispute is subject to the courts of Québec.
