Terms of Use, MIT Tool License, and Disclosure Policy
By accessing or using JSON to SRT (jsontosrt.com), you agree to these Terms of Use. Because all transcript conversion happens locally inside your web browser, these terms focus on open software licensing, broadcast quality verification responsibilities, and transparent sponsorship disclosures.
1. MIT Open Tool Usage and Your Content Ownership
The client-side JSON parsers, cue reflow algorithms, sample payloads, and interface components of JSON to SRT are original clean-room software provided under the terms of the MIT License. You may use the web converter freely for personal, academic, freelance, studio, or commercial media production with zero file-size caps, watermarks, or registration gates.
- 100% ownership of your transcripts: We claim zero ownership, license, or rights over any JSON files you load or any
.srt,.vtt,.txt, or.csvfiles you export. As detailed in our Privacy Policy, your files never reach our servers. - Authorized input responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring you hold the necessary rights or permission to process the transcripts you load on your local device.
2. User Responsibility to Verify Final Broadcast Caption Sync and Accuracy
Automated speech recognition models and word-level forced aligners can mishear terminology, drop rapid utterances, misassign overlapping speaker turns, or drift relative to variable-frame-rate (VFR) and drop-frame (29.97 / 59.94 fps) video timelines.
- Mandatory human QC before broadcast or publication: You are solely responsible for auditioning and verifying exported subtitle timing synchronization, speaker attribution labels, character reading speed, safe-area line breaks, and spelling inside your non-linear video editor or media player before delivering files to clients, streaming platforms, regulators, or broadcast networks.
- Regulatory and accessibility standards: Automated output from
jsontosrt.comdoes not by itself certify compliance with FCC closed-captioning rules, ADA / Section 508 requirements, WCAG accessibility criteria, EBU-TT, Netflix Timed Text Style Guides, or medical/legal verbatim record standards.
3. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
Consistent with the MIT License, the website and converter software are provided "AS IS", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or operators of jsontosrt.com be liable for any claim, damages, missed broadcast deadlines, caption rejection fees, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the software or exported subtitle files.
4. Affiliate, Sponsor, and rel="sponsored" Disclosure Policy
Core browser-local JSON-to-subtitle conversion on jsontosrt.com is free without artificial file-size paywalls. To fund ongoing maintenance and upstream ASR format updates, the site may display clearly labeled developer tool sponsorships, speech-to-text API comparisons, or post-production software affiliate links below or outside the primary converter workbench.
- Explicit visual disclosure: Every commercial placement or commission-eligible link includes a plain-language disclosure directly adjacent to the link stating that
jsontosrt.commay earn a referral commission or sponsorship fee at no extra cost to you. - HTML link attribute compliance: All affiliate and paid sponsor outbound links carry
rel="sponsored noopener"in compliance with FTC Endorsement Guides and Google Search link spam policies. - Editorial independence: Sponsorships never alter parser behavior, never throttle local file sizes, and never gain access to user transcript data.

OpenAI, Whisper, WhisperX, Deepgram, AssemblyAI, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, TikTok, and YouTube are trademarks or registered names of their respective owners.
