Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 31, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Ricecooker, LLC, a New York limited liability company ("we," "us," "our"). They govern your use of Kibble, our macOS screen recording and video editing application ("Kibble" or the "App"), and our website at kibble.video (the "Website").

By downloading, installing, or using Kibble, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

The short version

Kibble is a local-first Mac app for recording and editing video. Your recordings and projects stay on your machine — we never see them. The App is currently in free public beta. We plan to charge for it in the future and will let you know before that happens. We're a small team doing our best, but the software is provided as-is.

1. Beta status

Kibble is currently in public beta. That means:

  • The App may contain bugs, crash, or behave unexpectedly.
  • Features may change, be removed, or work differently between updates.
  • We recommend keeping backups of any important work.
  • The beta period may end at any time.

We're building Kibble actively and appreciate your patience while we polish things. Your use of the beta does not entitle you to free access to any future commercial version of the App.

2. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Kibble on any Mac computers you own or control, subject to these Terms. During the beta period, this license is free of charge.

Kibble is licensed, not sold. We retain all rights, title, and interest in the App, including all intellectual property rights.

3. Your content

You own everything you create with Kibble. Your screen recordings, edits, voiceovers, exported videos, and project files are entirely yours. We claim no rights to your content. We do not use your content to train AI models or for any purpose other than providing the App's functionality to you.

If we introduce optional cloud-based features in the future, we will only access or process your content with your explicit consent and solely to provide those features.

4. What you agree not to do

You agree not to:

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except where applicable law expressly permits it.
  • Redistribute, sublicense, rent, lease, or lend the App to others.
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices, labels, or marks in the App.
  • Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its functionality.
  • Use the App for any purpose that violates applicable law.

5. Updates

Kibble may periodically check for updates by contacting our servers. If an update is available, you may be prompted to install it. We may require you to update to continue using the App. Updates are subject to these Terms unless accompanied by separate terms.

6. Third-party components

Kibble includes third-party open-source software components. These components are subject to their own license terms, which are available within the App or upon request.

7. Pricing and payments

Kibble is free during the beta period. We plan to offer Kibble as a paid product in the future. When that happens:

  • We will notify you before any pricing changes take effect, including the price, billing frequency, and how to cancel.
  • Updated terms will be presented for your acceptance before any charges apply.
  • Current pricing, features, and plan details will always be available on our Website.

If we integrate payment processing, it will be handled by a third-party payment processor. We do not directly store your payment information. Any payment processing is subject to the processor's own terms and privacy policy.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

We want Kibble to work well for you, and we're working hard to make that happen. That said:

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY CONTENT OR DATA WILL NOT BE LOST OR DAMAGED.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RICECOOKER, LLC, ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS ($50).

These limitations apply even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if a remedy fails its essential purpose.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ricecooker, LLC from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the App before the changes take effect. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision.

Your continued use of Kibble after the updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you don't agree with the updated Terms, you should stop using the App.

12. Termination

You can stop using Kibble at any time by uninstalling the App. We may revoke your license if you violate these Terms. Upon termination, Sections 3 and 8-15 survive.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York for any disputes arising under these Terms.

14. Dispute resolution

Before filing any formal legal action, you agree to contact us first at hello@kibble.video and give us 30 days to try to resolve the issue informally. We'd much rather work things out directly.

15. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ricecooker, LLC regarding Kibble.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
  • Assignment. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. You may not assign your rights under these Terms.
