Terms of Use

Last updated: 15 October 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a contract between you and Jordan Markovics, trading as 8D Motion (“8D Motion”, “we”, “us”). They govern your access to and use of the 8D Motion mobile application (the “App”) on Android and iOS, and any related services we provide (together, the “Service”). 8D Motion is operated by Jordan Markovics, trading as 8D Motion. Contact details are provided in Section 13.

These Terms explain the conditions for using 8D Motion. We make them available before account registration so that you can review them before agreeing. By creating an account after being presented with these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, you should not create an account or use the Service. Our separate Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data; it is not part of this contract.

1. Acceptance of these Terms

1.1 These Terms apply to every user of the App, whether on a free or a Plus (paid) basis.

1.2 If you are accessing the App through the Apple App Store, Apple’s own licence terms also apply to you (see Section 8.3). If you are accessing it through Google Play, Google’s Play Terms of Service also apply to you. Nothing in this Section reduces any right these Terms give you.

1.3 We may update these Terms from time to time as described in Section 11. Changes will not retroactively remove rights you already have, and we will ask for agreement to material changes where the law requires it.

2. Eligibility and accounts

2.1 Minimum age. You must be at least 13 years old to create an 8D Motion account or use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has given you permission to use the Service and to agree to these Terms on your behalf for contractual purposes. 8D Motion is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly offer accounts to, or operate the App for, children under 13.

2.2 Account creation. You may create an account using email and password, or by signing in with Google or Apple. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for keeping your login credentials and any device you use to access the App secure. You must not share your account or let anyone else use it.

2.3 Notifying us. You must tell us promptly at support@8dmotion.com if you become aware of unauthorised use of your account.

3. Subscriptions and payments

3.1 8D Motion Plus. The App offers an optional paid subscription, 8D Motion Plus (“Plus”), which unlocks all ten reverb environments and the manual Reverb Amount control, high-quality WAV export, and the ability to save and manage custom presets. Core audio editing, Motion presets, distance modelling, standard M4A export, and local project management remain available without Plus.

3.2 Billing is handled by Apple or Google, not by us. All Plus purchases are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play billing system for the platform you installed the App from. We do not collect, see, or store your card or payment details. Price, available billing periods, and whether an introductory free trial is currently offered to you are shown by the App Store or Google Play at the point of purchase and may vary by country, currency, platform, promotion, and your own purchase history — we do not guarantee a fixed worldwide price or that every user will see a free trial.

3.3 Auto-renewal. Plus is a recurring, auto-renewing subscription. Unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period, it will automatically renew for a further period at the then-current price, and payment will be collected through your Apple or Google account, until you cancel.

3.4 Introductory free trial. Where a free trial is offered to you, it converts automatically into a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. Free-trial eligibility is determined by Apple or Google (and, for returning or former subscribers, by us) and is not available to every account or every device.

3.5 Statutory cancellation rights. Depending on where you live, the law may give you a right to cancel an online purchase within a specified period. In the UK, the statutory period is generally 14 days for qualifying purchases, but different rules apply to digital content and ongoing services. For digital content supplied immediately, that right may end when supply begins only if the legally required consent, acknowledgement and confirmation have been given. For an ongoing service, starting the service does not by itself end the cancellation right; a proportionate payment for services already provided may be due if you cancel during the statutory period and the relevant legal conditions are met. These Terms do not waive any statutory cancellation rights. Section 3.6 explains how to stop future subscription renewals.

3.6 Cancelling. You can cancel at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings (on iOS) or your Google Play subscription settings (on Android). Subscriptions are purchased and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and cancellation is managed through the relevant store, so 8D Motion does not provide a separate in-app cancellation flow. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not usually refund the current billing period, and you will normally keep Plus access until the end of the period you already paid for.

3.7 Refunds. Refund requests for App Store or Google Play purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies. We can help you understand a billing issue or escalate a problem with the Plus features themselves — contact support@8dmotion.com — but we are not the party that processes the payment, so we cannot issue a refund ourselves. This section describes how refunds are normally requested; it does not reduce any refund or other right you have under Section 3.8.

3.8 Your statutory consumer rights are not affected. Nothing in this Section 3 limits or excludes any right you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, or any other consumer protection law that applies to you and cannot lawfully be excluded by contract. If the Plus features you paid for do not work as described because of a fault in the App, you may be entitled to repair, a price reduction, or a refund under that law, separately from — and in addition to — Apple’s or Google’s own store-level policies.

3.9 Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Deleting your 8D Motion account (Section 7) stops that account from having Plus access, but it does not cancel an underlying Apple App Store or Google Play subscription, and does not stop Apple or Google from billing you. You must cancel the subscription separately, through Apple or Google, if you no longer want to be charged.

3.10 One account’s worth of access. Plus access follows your signed-in 8D Motion account, not the Apple or Google account you paid with, and is not automatically shared with, or transferred to, a different 8D Motion account — including one you later sign into using the same paying store account. If you believe you’re entitled to Plus on an account that currently shows as Free (for example, after deleting and recreating an account, or signing into a new account with a store account that has an active subscription), use Restore Purchases in the App; restoration is not automatic.

4. User content and audio

4.1 You own what you bring in. You retain whatever copyright and other intellectual property rights you already hold in any audio, video, or other content you import into the App (“Your Content”). Using 8D Motion to process Your Content does not transfer any ownership in it to us, and we do not claim ownership, royalties, or an attribution right over the files you export, merely because they were produced using our tools.

4.2 Your responsibility for rights in Your Content. You are solely responsible for making sure you have all the rights, licences, consents, and permissions needed to import, process, export, use, and (if you choose to) distribute Your Content, including any third-party recordings, compositions, performances, or other protected material contained in it. We cannot and do not grant you any rights in third-party content that happens to be embedded in Your Content, and we take no responsibility for verifying those rights before you import or export material.

4.3 Where your audio lives. Your Content is processed and stored on your own device by default; the App does not upload your audio to our servers as a normal part of using the Service. Only limited project/preset settings metadata — not the audio itself — is synchronised to our cloud backend if you are signed in; see our Privacy Policy for exactly what that metadata contains.

4.4 Datasets used in processing. Our spatial-audio engine uses the SADIE II HRTF dataset (University of York) and ten binaural reverb environments adapted from OpenAIR recordings, each used under its own open licence. We have confirmed directly with the SADIE II dataset’s creators that ordinary audio rendered using their HRTFs does not require attribution in your exported audio and gives them no rights over your export. Beyond that specific point, your rights to use and distribute your exports remain subject to the applicable third-party licence terms and any other third-party rights in material you use with the Service, including the datasets referenced above. Full source, attribution, and licence information for every dataset and reverb environment is available in the App’s Licences & Acknowledgements screen.

4.5 Commercial use of exports. Subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.4, you may use and commercially distribute audio you export from 8D Motion, to the extent you have the necessary rights and permissions in the underlying material.

4.6 Removal. If we receive a credible notice that Your Content, as used within the Service, infringes someone else’s rights, we may remove or disable access to the relevant project or preset metadata on our systems while we look into it. Because your audio itself is not normally stored on our servers, this mainly affects synchronised metadata, not your local files.

5. Acceptable use

5.1 You agree not to use the Service to:

1. import, process, or export content you do not have the right to use;
2. violate any applicable law, or infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person;
3. reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except as Section 9.3 separately allows;
4. interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, our backend systems, or other users’ accounts or data;
5. use multiple accounts, automated means, or other artificial methods to abuse free-trial eligibility, storage quotas, or other limits on the Service; or
6. use the Service in any way that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair it, or interfere with any other party’s use of it.

5.2 Cloud storage limits. To keep cloud synchronisation reliable and fair for everyone, your account starts with an allowance of up to 200 active cloud-synced projects and up to 200 active cloud-synced presets, which grows as your account ages (capped at 10,000 each), plus up to 200 new projects and 200 new presets created per calendar month. These limits apply only to cloud sync — they do not limit how many projects or presets you can keep locally on your own device, which is limited only by your device’s own storage. If you reach a cloud limit, your existing projects and presets are unaffected, and anything you create locally is still saved; it may simply not sync to the cloud until the limit resets or increases. We may also enforce other reasonable technical limits (for example, on how often certain requests can be made) to protect the Service’s security and reliability, and these limits may change as the Service grows.

6. Copyright responsibilities

6.1 8D Motion respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. If you believe content accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, contact support@8dmotion.com with enough detail for us to identify the material and your claim, including your contact details and a statement that you believe the use is unauthorised.

6.2 We will review genuine, sufficiently detailed notices and may remove or disable the relevant synchronised metadata where appropriate. Because we do not host user audio by default, there will often be nothing on our servers to remove beyond project/preset names or settings.

7. Accounts, data, and deletion

7.1 Deleting your account. You can delete your 8D Motion account from within the App. Where you signed in with Apple, deletion requires you to re-authenticate with Apple so we can revoke that authorisation as part of the deletion process.

7.2 What deletion does. Confirmed account deletion removes your active account and its associated cloud-synchronised project and preset data, and app-private local data on that device that we can identify as belonging to the deleted account. It does not remove original files you imported from outside the App, exports saved outside the App’s private storage, or purchase and subscription records kept by Apple or Google. Some limited subscription or transaction records may remain for billing integrity, subscription restoration, legal compliance, fraud prevention or security investigations, where justified. Our Privacy Policy explains how relevant records are handled. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription (see Section 3.9).

7.3 Signing out is different from deleting your account. Signing out does not delete your account or your locally stored, account-owned project/preset data; signing back in restores access to it.

7.4 Further detail on what we collect, why, and for how long is in our Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party services

8.1 Parts of the Service are provided with the help of third-party providers — for example, for account sign-in, cloud sync of your project/preset settings, and bot-protection on sign-up and sign-in. Our Privacy Policy describes these in more detail, including how each one handles data. Their availability or behaviour is outside our control; we are not responsible for outages or errors caused by a third-party provider beyond our reasonable control, although we will act reasonably to resolve problems that affect the Service.

8.2 The App also uses certain third-party software components and datasets under their own open-source or Creative Commons licences, including the SADIE II HRTF dataset and the OpenAIR-derived reverb material referenced in Section 4.4. The applicable notices, licence texts, and attributions are available in the App’s Licences & Acknowledgements screen.

8.3 If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, Apple’s standard End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the App, in addition to these Terms. Where that agreement and these Terms both address the same subject, the term more protective of you applies; nothing in these Terms is intended to reduce any right Apple’s agreement gives you, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of that agreement as Apple’s own terms provide.

9. 8D Motion intellectual property

9.1 Excluding Your Content (Section 4) and third-party components (Section 8.2), the App — including its software, the shared spatial-audio processing engine, visual design, branding, the “8D Motion” name and logo, and all related intellectual property — belongs to us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any of it to you.

9.2 We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal or (where applicable) commercial audio production use, strictly in accordance with these Terms and, for App Store installs, the usage rules in Apple’s licence terms referenced in Section 8.3.

9.3 You must not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App itself, or remove or obscure any proprietary notices, except to the extent that: (a) applicable law expressly gives you that right despite this restriction (for example, any limited right to interoperate that UK copyright law separately provides); or (b) the specific third-party open-source or Creative Commons-licensed component in question, as described in Section 8.2, itself gives you that right under its own licence — in which case that component’s own licence governs instead of this Section 9.3, for that component only.

10. Disclaimers, liability, suspension and termination

10.1 Service availability. We aim to keep the Service reliable, but we do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times; features may change, and local data loss is possible (for example, through device failure, accidental deletion, or interrupted exports) — we recommend keeping your own backups of anything irreplaceable, including original source files and finished exports. This section describes how the Service is provided; it does not reduce your rights under Section 10.2, including your statutory rights if digital content or a service does not conform to the contract.

10.2 Statutory rights unaffected. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable consumer protection law (see also Section 3.8).

10.3 Responsibility for losses. We are responsible for losses that are a reasonably foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for losses that we did not cause or that were not reasonably foreseeable, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Nothing in these Terms limits rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

10.4 Suspension and termination. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service where you are in material breach of these Terms (for example, the acceptable-use rules in Section 5 or the eligibility rules in Section 2), where required by law or by Apple’s or Google’s own rules, or to protect the security or integrity of the Service or other users. Except where the issue is serious or urgent enough that immediate action is reasonably necessary (for example, a security threat, suspected fraud, or illegal content), we will first tell you what the problem is and give you a reasonable opportunity to resolve it before suspending or terminating your account. We will not suspend or terminate your account, or remove your data, without a genuine reason connected to these Terms, the law, or the security of the Service. You may stop using the Service, or delete your account under Section 7, at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 9, 10, and 12) continue to apply.

11. Changes to these Terms

11.1 We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Service, our business, or the law. If a change is material, we will give you reasonable advance notice where practicable, for example through the App or by email, and obtain your agreement where required by law. Changes do not take away rights that accrued before they took effect.

12. Governing law, disputes, and general terms

12.1 These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them or the Service, are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer habitually resident elsewhere, nothing in this Section 12.1 deprives you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of the country in which you are resident that cannot be excluded by agreement, and you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

12.2 Subject to Section 12.1, the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.

12.3 If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest continue in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be read down to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable while preserving its intent as far as possible.

12.4 These Terms set out the conditions for using the Service, alongside Apple’s standard End User License Agreement where applicable. Our Privacy Policy is a separate explanatory document and is not incorporated into this contract. Nothing here removes rights or protections you have under applicable law.

12.5 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with a sale, merger, or reorganisation of our business, provided your rights under these Terms are not reduced as a result. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to anyone else without our consent.
