Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 September 2026

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the blackscreenvideo.com website and services ("Service"). The Service is operated as Black Screen Video by forpix, an independent developer ("we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Description of Service

Black Screen Video provides pre-generated black screen video files for download. All videos are available completely free of charge in all resolutions (480p to 8K), all durations (5 seconds to 1 hour), and all formats (MP4, WebM, MOV). No account or payment is required. The Service is supported by advertising.

Downloads

• No account, sign-in, or payment is required to use the Service. Every resolution, duration, and format is available to download directly.
• Historical Pro tier purchases: earlier versions of this Service required a one-time purchase to unlock higher resolutions and formats. That paid-tier system has been retired — all content is now free for everyone, so the previous Pro/free distinction no longer applies to any user, past or present.

License and Usage Rights

Upon downloading a video file, you are granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the video for:

• Personal projects
• Commercial projects (YouTube videos, presentations, streaming, testing, etc.)
• Editing, trimming, or incorporating into other works

You may not:

• Redistribute or resell the raw video files as-is
• Claim ownership of the original video files
• Use the files in any way that violates applicable law

Intellectual Property

• The blackscreenvideo.com website, its design, code, and branding are owned by us and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
• The video files you download are licensed to you under the terms above. We retain ownership of the original files.

Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

• Attempt to circumvent access controls or abuse the download service
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to mass-download files
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our source code
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Use the Service to distribute malware or engage in any illegal activity
• Resell the files, or redistribute them as a competing download service

Advertising

The Service is funded by advertising supplied by Google AdSense and its advertising partners. By using the Service you acknowledge that advertising is displayed on the site.

We do not select, endorse, or verify individual ads or advertisers, and we are not responsible for the content of ads, for the products and services they promote, or for any dealings you have with an advertiser. Any transaction you enter into with an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser.

Advertising is shown on the website only. The video files you download contain no advertising.

You must not interfere with the display of advertising in ways that violate the policies of our advertising partners, including generating invalid traffic, clicking ads artificially, or encouraging others to do so.

Service Availability

• Our Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
• We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Service.
• We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.
• All download links are freely accessible at any time.

Access Restriction

The Service does not use accounts or sign-in. We may restrict or block access from a device, IP address, or network at our sole discretion, without prior notice, if:

• You violate these Terms
• You engage in fraudulent or abusive behavior (including the automated/bulk downloading described under Prohibited Activities)
• Required by law

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.
• Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100).
• We are not responsible for any loss of data, profits, or business opportunities.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable at the operator's place of residence, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction at the operator's location, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
