Terms of Service

Effective date: June 15, 2025

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using ClipDraft. By creating an account or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”) and ClipDraft (“Company”, “we”, “us”) governing your access to and use of the ClipDraft platform, including all related websites, APIs, mobile or browser extensions, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By registering an account, purchasing credits, or otherwise accessing the Service, you represent that (a) you are at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement, and (c) you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Description of Service

ClipDraft provides an AI-powered platform that allows users to create video content, product demonstrations, short-form videos, and edited media from uploaded video recordings, screenshots, and images. The Service includes, but is not limited to: Demo Builder (GIF/video compilation from screenshots), AI Video (AI-generated cinematic footage), AI Shorts (short-form vertical video generation for social platforms), Video Editor (subtitle, overlay, trim, voice-over, and background music editing), and Sports Coach (AI-powered sports analysis). The Service uses third-party AI and machine learning services — including Google Gemini, Google Veo, xAI Grok, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, and Google Cloud Storage — to analyze media, generate video content, produce captions, create voice-over narration, and compile output files.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

3. Accounts & Registration

You must register an account to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information during registration and to keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must notify us immediately at legal@clipdraft.io of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized use of your account that occurs before you notify us.

You may not create accounts for others without authorization, use automated means to create accounts, or share your account credentials with third parties.

4. Credits & Payments

The Service operates on a prepaid credit system. Credits are purchased in advance and consumed when you use certain features. All prices are displayed in US dollars and are subject to change with notice.

No refunds. Credits are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Unused credits do not expire, but they have no cash value and cannot be transferred to another account.

Failed builds. Credits are deducted when processing begins. If a build or generation fails due to a confirmed system error on our part, we may, at our sole discretion, issue a credit refund. We are not liable for credits consumed by builds that fail due to invalid, corrupt, or non-compliant input files, AI provider rate limits, content policy rejections, or network issues on your end.

Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes on purchases. We may collect taxes where legally required.

Disputes. You must notify us of any billing dispute within 30 days of the charge. Disputes raised after this period may not be eligible for resolution.

5. User Content & Intellectual Property

Your content. You retain ownership of all media files, screenshots, videos, and other materials you upload to the Service (“User Content”). By uploading, you grant ClipDraft a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, transcode, and display your User Content solely as necessary to provide the Service to you.

Your representations. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to your User Content; that it does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; and that it does not violate any applicable law.

Our IP. The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, and all non-user content, is owned by ClipDraft and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from any part of the Service.

Output content. You own the demos, videos, shorts, edited media, and other output files you generate using the Service, subject to any third-party AI license terms that may apply to AI-generated components (including terms from Google, xAI, and stock media providers such as Pixabay and Jamendo). You are solely responsible for how you use, distribute, or publish output files. ClipDraft makes no guarantee that output content is free from third-party claims.

6. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Service uses large language models and AI systems (including Google Gemini) to generate captions, voice scripts, and analysis. You acknowledge that:

  • AI-generated content — including video clips, images, captions, voice-over narration, subtitles, and analytical summaries — may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, misleading, or inappropriate.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving all AI-generated content before publishing, distributing, or relying on it for any purpose.
  • ClipDraft makes no representation that AI-generated videos, captions, scripts, analyses, or any other outputs are accurate, factually correct, suitable for your use case, or free from third-party intellectual property issues.
  • AI-generated video content may not accurately represent real people, places, products, or events. You must not use AI-generated content to deceive, mislead, or create deepfakes of real individuals without their consent.
  • AI outputs may not be protected by copyright in all jurisdictions — you should seek legal advice if this is important to your use case.
  • Third-party AI providers (Google, xAI, and others) may impose additional terms on AI-generated content. You are responsible for complying with all applicable third-party terms.
  • ClipDraft is not responsible for any consequences arising from your use, publication, or distribution of AI-generated content, including but not limited to claims of defamation, intellectual property infringement, privacy violations, or regulatory non-compliance.

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Upload content that is illegal, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or that infringes third-party rights.
  • Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, its servers, or related systems.
  • Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or abuse the Service beyond normal usage.
  • Resell or sublicense the Service without written permission.
  • Transmit malware, viruses, or harmful code.
  • Impersonate another person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation.
  • Create demos, videos, or any output that contains deceptive, misleading, or fraudulent content.
  • Generate AI content depicting real individuals without their consent, or create deepfakes or synthetic media intended to deceive.
  • Use the Service to generate content that violates platform-specific terms of service (e.g., YouTube, TikTok, Instagram).
  • Use AI-generated sports analysis or coaching outputs as a substitute for professional medical, athletic, or safety advice.

We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate any account that we determine, in our sole discretion, violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to users, third parties, or the Company.

8. Service Availability & Data

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee that the Service will be available at all times, error-free, or uninterrupted. Scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, technical failures, or factors outside our control may cause downtime.

Data retention. Uploaded media files and generated output files are stored temporarily and may be deleted after a retention period. You are responsible for downloading and backing up your output files. We are not liable for any loss of User Content or output files.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR RELIABILITY.

We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, that results will be accurate or reliable, that errors will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Use of the Service is at your sole risk.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of implied warranties, so the above may not apply to you in full.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL CLIPDRAFT, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, BUSINESS, OR GOODWILL — ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $10.

These limitations apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ClipDraft and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from:

  • Your use of or access to the Service.
  • Your User Content or output files and any claim that they infringe a third party's rights.
  • Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
  • Your negligence or willful misconduct.

We reserve the right, at our expense, to assume exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason — including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at legal@clipdraft.io. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of unused credits.

Sections covering IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination of these Terms.

13. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Governing law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Informal resolution. Before initiating any legal action, you agree to contact us at legal@clipdraft.io and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), conducted in English in San Francisco, California. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. YOU AND CLIPDRAFT WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY.

Exceptions. Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, without waiving the right to arbitration.

14. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email or by posting a notice in the Service at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
