Terms of Service

1 Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using subtitleedit.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use this website.

These Terms of Service are effective as of February 28, 2026. They apply to all visitors, users, and anyone else who accesses subtitleedit.org. Your continued use of the website after any changes to these terms means you accept the updated version.

We recommend reading these terms in full before using the site. They explain your rights, our responsibilities, and the rules that govern your use of subtitleedit.org.

2 Description of Service

subtitleedit.org is an independently operated informational website. We provide guides, articles, download links, and general information about Subtitle Edit, a free and open-source subtitle editor developed by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson.

To be clear: subtitleedit.org is not the official Subtitle Edit website, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the developer in any way. The official project lives at nikse.dk/subtitleedit.

We do not host any software files on our own servers. When you click a download link on our site, it directs you to external sources such as nikse.dk or the Subtitle Edit GitHub repository. We act as an informational resource, not a software distributor.

3 Intellectual Property

“Subtitle Edit” is the name of an open-source project created by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson. The software is released under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPL v3). All trademarks, software names, and logos associated with the Subtitle Edit project belong to their respective owners.

The original content on subtitleedit.org – including written articles, guides, page designs, and graphics created by us – is our intellectual property. You may not reproduce, distribute, or republish our original content without written permission.

Any use of the Subtitle Edit name or related trademarks on this website is for informational and descriptive purposes only. It does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, or ownership claim.

4 Use of the Website

You agree to use subtitleedit.org only for lawful purposes. When using this website, you must not:

• Violate any applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations
• Interfere with or disrupt the website’s operation, servers, or connected networks
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website or its systems
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to extract content without permission
• Distribute malware, viruses, or any harmful code through or in connection with the website
• Impersonate any person, business, or entity
• Use the website for commercial solicitation without our written consent

We reserve the right to restrict access to anyone who violates these terms, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

5 Downloads and Software

Because we link to third-party sources, we cannot guarantee the availability, integrity, or safety of files hosted on those external websites. Here is what that means for you:

• Verify the source. Before downloading, confirm that the link points to an official or trusted source (nikse.dk or the official GitHub repository).
• Scan downloaded files. Always run an antivirus or anti-malware scan on any file you download from the internet, regardless of the source.
• Read the license. Subtitle Edit is released under the GPL v3 license. Review and understand this license before using the software.
• Check compatibility. Make sure the software version you download is compatible with your operating system and hardware.
• Back up your work. Before installing new software or updating an existing installation, back up any important files or projects.

We do not provide technical support for Subtitle Edit. For help with the software itself, visit the official project page at nikse.dk/subtitleedit or the GitHub issues page.

6 Disclaimer of Warranties

We specifically disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy. We do not warrant that:

• The website will be available without interruption or free of errors
• Any information on the website is complete, accurate, or up to date
• External links will remain active or point to safe content
• The website or its servers are free from viruses or harmful components

You use this website entirely at your own risk. No advice or information obtained from subtitleedit.org creates any warranty not expressly stated in these terms.

7 Limitation of Liability

This limitation applies to damages of any kind, including but not limited to: loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, personal injury, damage to your computer or device, or any other losses – even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to the use of this website is $0 (zero dollars). This cap applies regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought, whether in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8 External Links

subtitleedit.org contains links to third-party websites, including nikse.dk, GitHub, and potentially other external resources. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.

We do not control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party websites. Visiting an external link from our site is done at your own risk. We encourage you to read the terms and privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

The presence of a link on subtitleedit.org does not imply that we approve of or are affiliated with the linked website or its operators.

9 Advertisements

subtitleedit.org may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. These ads help support the cost of running and maintaining this website.

Third-party advertisers may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing history and interests. We do not control the content of these advertisements and are not responsible for any products, services, or claims made in them.

For more details on how advertising data is collected and used, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

10 Content Accuracy and Updates

We make a reasonable effort to keep the information on subtitleedit.org accurate and current. That said, software changes frequently – new versions are released, features get added or removed, and system requirements shift over time.

We cannot guarantee that every piece of information on this site reflects the absolute latest state of the Subtitle Edit software. Version numbers, feature descriptions, and system requirements may occasionally be out of date.

For the most current and authoritative information about Subtitle Edit, always refer to the official project page at nikse.dk/subtitleedit or the GitHub repository.

11 DMCA and Copyright

We respect intellectual property rights and expect our users to do the same. subtitleedit.org does not knowingly host or distribute copyrighted material without authorization.

If you believe that content on this website infringes your copyright, please refer to our Disclaimer page for details on our DMCA takedown process, including how to submit a notice and the information we require.

We will respond to valid copyright infringement notices promptly and will remove or disable access to infringing material as appropriate.

12 Privacy

Your privacy matters. How we collect, use, and protect your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is a separate document and forms part of these Terms of Service.

By using subtitleedit.org, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy and consent to the practices described in it.

13 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless subtitleedit.org, its owners, operators, and contributors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

• Your use of this website or any content on it
• Your violation of these Terms of Service
• Your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights
• Any content you submit or transmit through the website

This indemnification obligation survives the termination of these terms and your use of the website.

14 Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the website operator resides, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from or relating to these terms or your use of subtitleedit.org shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of that jurisdiction. By using this website, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

15 Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that specific provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable – or removed entirely if modification is not possible.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalidity of one section does not affect the validity of the rest of these terms.

16 Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time. When changes are made, we will update the “Effective Date” at the top of this page.

Material changes may be communicated through a notice on the website. However, it is your responsibility to review these terms periodically. Your continued use of subtitleedit.org after any modifications means you accept the revised terms.

If you disagree with updated terms, your only recourse is to stop using the website.

17 Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to subtitleedit.org at any time, for any reason, without prior notice or liability. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, violations of these Terms of Service.

Upon termination, your right to use the website ends immediately. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including (but not limited to) the sections on intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

18 Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and subtitleedit.org regarding your use of this website.

These terms supersede any prior agreements, communications, or understandings – whether written or oral – relating to the subject matter covered here. No waiver of any provision shall be considered a continuing waiver of that or any other provision.
