Terms of Service

Last updated: 19 April 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Klipptik website at klipptik.com, the Klipptik web application, and the Klipptik desktop application (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Klipptik ("we", "us", "our").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and references to "you" and "your" shall refer to that organisation.

2. Description of the Service

Klipptik is a video clipping and organisation tool that enables users to:

• Save and organise metadata-based clips (start/end timestamps, titles, tags, and notes) from online and local video content;
• Create and manage collections of clips ("Klipptiks");
• Play back video content via the YouTube embedded player or local file playback;
• Share Klipptik collections with others via shareable links.

Klipptik does not download, store, copy, or redistribute any video or audio content. All YouTube video playback is delivered through the official YouTube embedded player, and all video content remains hosted on and served by YouTube or the user's local device.

3. YouTube Terms of Service

The Service uses YouTube API Services, including the YouTube Data API v3 and the YouTube IFrame Player API. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that you are also bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

YouTube content accessed through the Service is subject to YouTube's own terms, policies, and community guidelines. We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of any YouTube videos.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have obtained the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the Service.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements set out in this section.

5. Account Registration and Security

5.1 Guest Access

You may use certain features of the Service without creating an account ("Guest Access"). Guest Access is subject to feature and usage limitations as described on the Service. Guest data is associated with a pseudonymous identifier stored in your browser and may be deleted after 30 days of inactivity.

5.2 Registered Accounts

To access the full features of the Service, you may be required to create an account via our authentication provider, Clerk. You agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process;
• Maintain the security of your account credentials;
• Promptly notify us of any unauthorised use of your account;
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided proves to be inaccurate, incomplete, or in violation of these Terms.

5.3 Guest-to-Account Migration

If you create an account after using the Service as a guest, your existing guest data (clips, folders, video metadata, and organisation) will be migrated to your new account. Your guest identifier will be retired and a new account identifier will be associated with your data.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

6.1 Plans

The Service is offered under multiple subscription tiers, including a free tier and paid tiers. The features, limitations, and pricing of each tier are described on the Service's pricing page and may be updated from time to time.

6.3 Automatic Renewal

Paid subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will retain access to paid features until that date.

6.4 Refunds

Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of the charge. We are not obligated to provide refunds except where required by applicable law.

6.5 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change our subscription prices at any time. If we increase the price of a plan to which you are currently subscribed, we will provide you with at least 30 days' advance notice. The new price will apply from the start of your next billing period following the notice period.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Klipptik's Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, features, branding, logos, and documentation, is owned by Klipptik and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service except for the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

You retain ownership of any content that you create within the Service, including clip metadata, tags, notes, folder structures, and Klipptik collections ("Your Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and transmit Your Content solely for the purpose of providing and operating the Service.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to create and share Your Content and that Your Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

9. Sharing and Klipptik Links

The Service may allow you to create shareable links to your Klipptik collections. When you share a Klipptik link:

• The shared Klipptik contains metadata only (clip names, timestamps, tags, notes, and references to video sources). No video or audio content is included in or distributed via the shared link.
• Recipients of a shared Klipptik link will view YouTube video content through the official YouTube embedded player, subject to YouTube's own terms and policies.
• You are responsible for ensuring that the content you share does not violate these Terms, any applicable law, or any third party's rights.
• We reserve the right to disable or remove any shared Klipptik link that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with and relies upon third-party services, including but not limited to YouTube (Google), Clerk, Stripe, Cloudflare, PostHog, and Featurebase. Your use of these third-party services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for:

• The availability, reliability, or performance of any third-party service;
• Any changes, interruptions, or discontinuations of third-party services that may affect the functionality of the Service;
• The content, accuracy, or legality of any content hosted by or accessible through third-party services;
• Any data collection, processing, or use by third-party services (including YouTube's embedded player), which is governed by their own privacy policies.

11. Copyright and Takedown Policy

• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

11.3 YouTube Content

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL KLIPPTIK, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH:

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT LIABILITY FOR (I) DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, (II) FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR (III) ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

15. Termination

15.1 Termination by You

You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have a registered account, you may delete your account through your account settings or by contacting us at [email protected].

Upon account deletion:

• Private data — Your personal information, private library content (clips, folders, video metadata, tags), and account data will be deleted or anonymised within 30 calendar days in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
• Shared Klipptiks — Any Klipptik links you have published and shared with other users may remain accessible. We will remove your identifying information (display name, profile picture, email) from the shared Klipptik, replacing it with a generic attribution (e.g., "Deleted User"). The clip metadata within the shared Klipptik (timestamps, clip names, notes) will be retained in anonymised form so that other users who saved or bookmarked the Klipptik can continue to access it. This is in accordance with the licence granted under Section 8.2, which survives termination.
• Analytics data — Anonymised, aggregated usage data that cannot be used to identify you may be retained for product improvement purposes.

15.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• You have violated these Terms;
• Your use of the Service poses a risk to the Service, other users, or third parties;
• We are required to do so by law;
• We decide to discontinue the Service or any part thereof.

15.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 8, 12, 13, 14, and 17.

16. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will provide you with notice by posting the revised Terms on the Service or by sending you an email notification (where we have your email address) at least 30 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service and, if applicable, delete your account.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in these Terms shall affect your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Klipptik regarding your use of the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether oral or written.

18.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

18.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without restriction.

18.5 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labour disputes, government actions, internet or telecommunications failures, or actions of third-party service providers.
