5. Downloads and Software

This section is particularly important. Please read it carefully.

All download links on HitFilm Express direct you to external, third-party sources. We do not host, modify, repackage, or redistribute any software files. We have no control over the files available at those external locations.

When you download software through links on this site, you are solely responsible for:

  • Reading and agreeing to the software’s own license agreement (EULA) before use
  • Confirming compatibility with your operating system and hardware
  • Backing up your data before installing any software

We do not provide technical support for HitFilm Express or any other software featured on this site. For software-related support, please contact the original developer or check community forums.

Please note that HitFilm Express was discontinued by its developers in January 2025. While existing installations still function, no further updates, patches, or official support will be released. Download links may become outdated or unavailable. We make reasonable efforts to keep links current but cannot guarantee their availability at all times.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate information about HitFilm Express, including its features, system requirements, and download sources. That said, software evolves quickly. Versions, features, requirements, pricing, and availability may change without our knowledge.

Since HitFilm Express has been discontinued, the information on this site reflects the software’s state as of its final release (version 2021.3). Some details may become outdated as operating systems and hardware evolve.

14. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of this site shall first be resolved through good-faith negotiation between the parties. If negotiation does not resolve the dispute, it shall be submitted to the appropriate courts of competent jurisdiction. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We may also post a notice on the site for significant changes.

Your continued use of HitFilm Express after any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

17. Termination

We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to this website at any time, without prior notice, for any reason, including but not limited to a breach of these Terms.

All provisions of these Terms that should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — shall remain in effect after termination.

18. Entire Agreement

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

These documents supersede any prior agreements, understandings, or arrangements between you and us, whether written or oral.
