Version 1.0 · Last updated: 24 July 2026 · In force from: 24 July 2026
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you and LATENT (“LATENT”, “we”, “us”), the operator of the website published at www.latentworld.tv and of the related services (together, the “Platform” or the “Service”). Please read them carefully before creating an account, uploading content or otherwise using the Platform.
This box is a plain-language summary provided for convenience only. If it differs from the numbered sections below, the numbered sections prevail.
By creating an account, uploading content, watching content or otherwise accessing any part of the Platform, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms and the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of them. If you do not accept these Terms, you must not use the Platform.
The Platform may in future be transferred to a company incorporated for that purpose. In that case these Terms continue to apply between you and that company, and the service provider details in section 29 are updated accordingly.
If you use the Platform on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation, and “you” refers to both you and that organisation.
Additional rules published on the Platform for particular features — for example upload rules, community guidelines, campaign or beta terms — form part of these Terms. Where such a rule conflicts with these Terms, it applies only to the feature concerned.
LATENT is a platform on which creators publish AI-generated films, short films, series, short-form vertical videos and music, and on which viewers watch, listen to, follow, comment on and collect that content. The Platform can be used free of charge; alongside that free use, optional paid features are offered — currently an ad-free membership.
We may add, change, restrict or discontinue features at any time. Where a change concerns a paid feature, it is announced in advance and applies from the next period; free use never becomes chargeable retrospectively.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, provider outages, network incidents and security measures may interrupt the Service.
The music section works in the same way as the video sections: tracks, albums and playlists uploaded by creators are played through the Platform’s own player. Everything in these Terms that applies to Content applies equally to music tracks, their covers and their metadata. Audio advertising may be played between tracks.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access and use the Platform for personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
In particular, the following are prohibited:
You retain all ownership of, and copyright in, the Content you upload. Uploading does not transfer your rights to us.
By uploading Content you grant LATENT a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable licence — sublicensable solely to our infrastructure and distribution providers — to store, host, reproduce, technically adapt (transcoding, resolution variants, thumbnail and preview generation, subtitle processing), publicly display, communicate to the public and stream that Content, for the purpose of operating, providing and improving the Service.
That licence expressly includes promotional and advertising use. LATENT may use your Content — in whole or in part, including excerpts, still frames, covers, titles and short audio passages — in order to promote the Platform and the Content itself: on the Platform’s own pages, in its own advertising formats, in newsletters, in its own social media accounts and in paid promotional campaigns run on third-party channels. This use is royalty-free and creates no payment obligation.
This licence ends when you delete the Content concerned or your Account, except that: (a) copies may remain in backups and caches for a limited period until they are overwritten in the ordinary cycle; (b) copies may be retained where required for legal obligations, dispute resolution or the investigation of an infringement notice; and (c) promotional and advertising material that was already published before the deletion is not affected.
You may delete your Content at any time from your channel. After deletion we retain only the records described in the Privacy Policy.
We are under no obligation to store, back up or return your Content. Keeping your own master copies is your responsibility.
Please note in particular: deletion operates for the future. Promotional or advertising material that was published while your Content was on the Platform — banners, trailers, newsletters, social media posts and campaigns already distributed — remains valid for the period up to the date of deletion and does not have to be withdrawn, recalled or deleted from third-party channels. After deletion we stop using the Content in new promotional material. By uploading Content you confirm that you have read and accepted this rule.
You may upload only work that you created yourself, or that you are demonstrably authorised to publish. Uploading a film, series, episode, trailer, clip, music track, image or any other work belonging to someone else — in whole or in part, edited or unedited — is prohibited on LATENT and constitutes copyright infringement. The legal and financial responsibility for such an upload rests solely with the user who uploaded it.
Each time you upload Content, you represent and warrant on that occasion that:
Content produced with artificial-intelligence tools is subject to exactly the same rules. You must comply with the terms of the tools you use, hold the commercial-use rights to their output, and must not use prompts, reference images, model weights, LoRAs or style adaptations that reproduce a protected work or a protected character. Re-generating a copyrighted film, series or character with an AI tool does not make it your own work.
Content that realistically depicts an identifiable real person — in particular synthetic video or audio of their face or voice — may be published only with that person’s explicit consent. Synthetic depictions of public figures that could be mistaken for real events, and any synthetic sexual content involving real people, are strictly prohibited and are removed without notice.
Commercially released music may not be used unless you hold a licence covering both the sound recording and the underlying composition. A statement such as “no copyright infringement intended”, a credit line, or the fact that the work is freely available elsewhere on the internet, does not constitute a licence.
Where you rely on public-domain status, an open licence such as Creative Commons, or a statutory exception such as quotation or parody, you are responsible for verifying that the conditions of that status, licence or exception are genuinely met, and for giving any attribution required. We may ask you to evidence this.
Copyright arises automatically when a work is created and is protected in substantially every country under international treaties such as the Berne Convention. A work therefore does not need to be registered, marked or published in your country in order to be protected there. Finding a work without a copyright notice, or on a site that offers it freely, does not make it free to use.
Where Content is uploaded in breach of this section, the Content is removed; the Account may be suspended or permanently closed; and the user remains liable to LATENT and to third parties for all resulting loss, in accordance with section 23. Falsely declaring yourself to be the Rights Holder may, depending on Applicable Law, give rise to civil and criminal liability.
LATENT does not carry out prior legal clearance of uploaded works and gives no warranty as to their lawfulness. LATENT acts as a hosting intermediary and takes action once it obtains actual knowledge of an infringement.
Regardless of who holds the rights, the following Content and behaviour is prohibited on the Platform:
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. We may find content unsuitable for the Platform even where it is not expressly listed.
LATENT respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. If you are a Rights Holder, or authorised to act for one, and believe that Content on the Platform infringes your rights, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject line “Copyright Notice”.
For us to act on a notice, it must contain:
Incomplete notices may be returned for completion. Notices sent for reasons other than a genuine rights complaint — for example to silence criticism or a competitor — will not be acted upon, and may themselves give rise to liability.
Once a valid notice is received we review it as quickly as reasonably possible and, where the complaint appears well founded, remove or restrict access to the Content and notify the uploading user, providing a copy of the notice. That copy may include your contact details, since they form part of the notice.
If your Content was removed and you believe the removal was mistaken, you may send a counter-notice to the same address, giving your contact details, identifying the removed Content, explaining why you hold the necessary rights and attaching supporting documents, and confirming that the information is accurate. We assess counter-notices in good faith and may restore the Content, keep it removed, or invite the parties to resolve the matter between themselves. LATENT is not a court and does not adjudicate the merits of a rights dispute.
We operate a repeat-infringer policy. Where valid notices are upheld against the same Account on repeated occasions, the Account is closed permanently and all Content on it may be removed. Opening a new account to circumvent such a closure is itself a breach of these Terms.
Trademark complaints, complaints about the use of a person’s name, image or voice, and requests based on privacy or personality rights follow the same procedure; adapt the notice so that it identifies the right concerned.
Uploaded Content is generally placed in a review queue and appears on your channel once approved. Approval is a suitability check for the Platform. It is not a legal clearance and does not amount to confirmation that the Content is lawful or non-infringing.
Where these Terms are breached we may apply any of the following measures, proportionately and, where practicable, with notice: a warning; removing, restricting or age-gating the Content; excluding it from recommendations and search; limiting features such as uploading, commenting or messaging; suspending the Account temporarily; or closing it permanently.
In urgent cases — in particular where there is a risk of serious harm, unlawful content or a credible threat of liability for LATENT — we may act immediately and without prior notice.
If you believe an enforcement decision was wrong, you may object by writing to [email protected]. We review objections and reverse the measure where the objection is upheld.
Every user can report Content or an Account using the “Report” feature or by writing to [email protected]. Reports are reviewed by our team. Deliberately false or abusive reporting is itself a breach of these Terms.
Use of the Platform is free of charge. In addition, an optional paid membership is offered which removes advertising across the Platform. Membership is a convenience feature: it does not extend the catalogue, does not create any additional right over Content and does not otherwise change these Terms.
Membership is taken out for a period and renews automatically for a further identical period at the end of each period, until you cancel it. You may cancel at any time from the Settings page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period: your benefits continue until then and no further charge is taken afterwards.
Payments are collected through the payment provider we work with. Card and payment details are entered on and processed by that provider; LATENT does not see or store your full card details. For the payment transaction, the provider’s own terms apply in addition to these Terms.
The current membership tiers and their prices are shown on the membership page. Prices, tiers and the scope of the benefits may change; a change is announced in advance and applies from the next period. If you do not accept the change you may cancel before that period begins; continuing to use the membership counts as acceptance.
Where a reduced tier is offered for a particular group, eligibility is checked automatically from the verified email address of your own account. If eligibility ceases, the reduced tier is not renewed; you are never moved to a higher price without your consent.
Because the benefit is provided immediately and continuously, no refund is made after a cancellation for the unused remainder of a period that has already been paid for, unless LATENT decides otherwise or the mandatory consumer rights available to you under the law of your own country require it; those rights are fully reserved. Where a payment is reversed or disputed unfairly, or the payment system is abused, the membership and the Account may be suspended.
Any taxes, bank charges and currency conversion costs arising in connection with the payment are governed by the rules of the payment provider and of the country to which you are subject.
The creator revenue-share programme is not currently open. Using the Platform confers no right to any payment, share, earnings or other financial claim, and no creator earns anything through the Platform at present.
Whether, when and on what conditions such a programme is opened is a decision for LATENT alone. If it is opened, the applicable rules will be published on the Platform, will apply only from that point on and only to creators who accept them. Until then this section creates no entitlement and no promise.
If earnings are obtained through such a programme, the declaration and payment of the taxes due on them is the responsibility of the creator who uploaded the Content and obtained the earnings, and the rules of the country to which that creator is subject apply.
LATENT displays advertising on the Platform. Advertising may appear before or during a video and between music tracks, as well as in other areas of the Platform. All revenue generated by advertising belongs to LATENT, and the decision on how it is used — including whether any part of it is distributed — rests with LATENT alone. We do not guarantee that any particular advertising will, or will not, be shown alongside your Content.
If LATENT decides in the future to distribute part of that revenue to creators, it does so voluntarily and under rules published at that time; such a decision creates no entitlement, may be limited to particular content or creators, and may be changed or ended at any time.
You may not insert your own advertising, sponsorship or paid placement into Content without disclosing it as required by Applicable Law. Information about advertising-related data and cookies is set out in the Privacy Policy.
The paid membership described in section 12 removes advertising for the member who holds it. Users who are not signed in, and users without a membership, see advertising. When a membership ends, advertising resumes from the end of the period.
You may close your account at any time, free of charge, from the Settings page or by writing to [email protected]. If you hold an active membership, closing the account does not in itself create a refund claim; the rules in section 12 apply.
The rules on cancellation, withdrawal and refunds for paid features are set out in section 12, and the mandatory consumer rights available to you under the law of your own country are fully reserved.
The LATENT name, logo, interface, design, source code, database structure, texts and all other elements of the Platform belong to LATENT and are protected by intellectual property law. These Terms grant you no licence over them. You may not use the LATENT brand in a way that suggests an affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement without our written consent.
Feedback and suggestions you send us may be used freely and without restriction.
The Platform may contain links to third-party sites and services, and Content may refer to them. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, terms or privacy practices. Your use of a third-party service is governed by that service’s own terms.
How we process personal data is explained in the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
Some features may be offered as beta or experimental. They are provided without any warranty, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may not work as expected.
We may impose reasonable technical limits — file size, resolution, storage, upload frequency, API usage — and change them where necessary to protect the Service.
You may stop using the Platform at any time and may delete your Account permanently from the Settings page. Deletion is irreversible: your Content is removed from public access and your data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or close your Account — with notice where practicable, and immediately where necessary — if you breach these Terms; if unlawful activity, fraud or a serious risk to other users is detected; if a competent authority or court so requires; if your Account has been inactive for an extended period; or if we discontinue the Service.
Deleting or closing an Account does not extinguish obligations that have already arisen, in particular liability under sections 7, 22 and 23, nor our right to retain records required by law.
Sections 6, 7, 16 and 21 to 28 survive termination.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Platform and all Content on it are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that Content will be preserved without loss, or that the Platform is free of harmful components. User Content expresses the views of the user who uploaded it, not those of LATENT; we do not verify its accuracy, safety or lawfulness in advance.
To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, LATENT, its owners, employees and suppliers shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential loss, nor for loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data or content, nor for business interruption, arising out of or in connection with the use of, or inability to use, the Platform — even where we were advised of the possibility of such loss.
Because the Platform is provided free of charge, you pay nothing to LATENT. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform is therefore limited to the minimum that Applicable Law does not allow us to exclude.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited — in particular liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for wilful misconduct or gross negligence, or any mandatory liability towards consumers.
We are not liable for loss arising from the acts of other users, from Content uploaded by them, or from third-party services and infrastructure providers, save where the law provides otherwise.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LATENT, its owners, employees, contractors and suppliers against any claim, demand, action, investigation, loss, damage, liability, penalty and reasonable legal and expert fees arising out of or connected with: (a) Content you uploaded or published; (b) your breach of these Terms, and in particular of the warranties in section 7; (c) your infringement of a third party’s intellectual property, personality or privacy rights; or (d) your unlawful use of the Platform.
Where such a claim is made you will cooperate with us at your own expense, and any settlement affecting our rights requires our prior written consent.
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events outside our reasonable control, including natural disaster, fire, epidemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strike, failure of electricity or communications infrastructure, cyber-attack, act of a public authority, or the failure of a hosting or network provider.
The Platform is available worldwide and is not directed at any single country. These Terms, and any dispute arising from them, are governed by the law of the place where the operator of the Platform is established at the time the dispute arises, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Proceedings may be brought before the courts having jurisdiction at the operator’s place of establishment. Where the Platform comes to be operated by an incorporated company, the courts of that company’s registered seat apply, and section 29 is updated accordingly.
If you qualify as a consumer, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence, nor of any right you have under that law to bring proceedings before, or to complain to, the courts, consumer authorities or alternative dispute resolution schemes of your own country.
Because the Platform is available internationally, you are responsible for complying with the law that applies to you locally, including any local restriction on the content you upload or watch. We may restrict or withdraw access to the Platform, in whole or in part, in any territory where providing it would be unlawful or would expose us to disproportionate risk.
Before commencing formal proceedings, please contact us at [email protected] describing the issue and the outcome you are seeking. We aim to respond within 30 days and to resolve most matters at this stage.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a competent court, in particular in relation to intellectual property infringement.
We may amend these Terms — for example when we add features, or when the law changes. The current version is always published on this page with its version number and date.
Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we give notice on the Platform or by email at least 15 days in advance, unless the law or a security requirement means it must take effect sooner. Continuing to use the Platform after the change takes effect means you accept the amended Terms; if you do not accept them, you may delete your Account.
This is the first published version of the LATENT Terms of Service. Version 1.0 — 24 July 2026.
