These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and ClipForYou, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in the United States (“ClipForYou,” “we,” or “the Platform”). By accessing or using clipforyou.me, any subdomain, mobile application, or related service (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Marketplace Model
ClipForYou operates a two-sided marketplace. Independent third-party creators (“Creators”) list custom video services and paywalled posts. Users (“Buyers”) purchase those services directly from the Creators. ClipForYou provides the software, payment infrastructure, hosting, and dispute tooling that make those transactions possible.
ClipForYou is not a party to the contract between a Buyer and a Creator. We do not produce, author, review in advance, endorse, warrant, or guarantee the performance or quality of any Creator. Creators are independent contractors, not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of ClipForYou. When you transact on the Platform, you do so directly with the other party.
2. Escrow-Style Payment Flow
When a Buyer pays for an order, the funds are processed by Stripe and held in an escrow-style holding balance on the Platform until (a) the Buyer approves the delivered content, (b) 48 hours pass after delivery without a formal dispute, or (c) a dispute is resolved. Upon release, ClipForYou transfers the Creator's share (net of our service fee and payment-processing costs) to their connected Stripe payout account.
Refunds, disputes, and reversals are governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
3. Eligibility and Account Registration
You must be at least eighteen (18) years old and have legal capacity to enter into contracts to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, if higher);
- The information you provide is accurate, current, and complete;
- You will maintain the security of your account credentials and promptly notify us of any unauthorized access;
- You are not on any U.S. government sanctions list, not a resident of an embargoed country, and not otherwise prohibited by U.S. law from using the Service.
You are fully responsible for all activity under your account. ClipForYou is not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account that results from your failure to secure it.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:
- Use the Service to harass, threaten, stalk, defame, or discriminate against any person;
- Request or deliver sexually explicit content involving minors, non-consenting persons, or any content that would be illegal in the United States;
- Request or deliver content that promotes terrorism, violence, hate speech, or self-harm;
- Upload malware, scrape the Service, bypass rate limits, or interfere with its operation;
- Attempt to resell, sublicense, or redistribute content obtained through the Service without the Creator's written permission;
- Circumvent the Platform's payment flow (e.g., arranging off-platform payment); or
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
We may remove any content, suspend or terminate any account, and refer violations to law enforcement, in each case in our sole discretion and without liability to you.
5. Content License and Ownership
Creators retain ownership of the original content they create. When a Buyer pays for a delivered video, the Creator grants the Buyer a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to view and retain that specific video for personal, non-commercial use. No commercial or public-broadcast rights are granted unless the Creator expressly agrees in writing.
By uploading, posting, or submitting content to the Service, you grant ClipForYou a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, and distribute that content solely as necessary to operate, promote, and improve the Service. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.
6. Fees
ClipForYou charges a service fee on each completed transaction, currently set at twenty percent (20%) of the gross transaction amount, plus applicable payment-processing costs. Fees are subject to change with reasonable notice. Creators are responsible for all taxes on their earnings; ClipForYou does not provide tax advice.
7. Prohibited Content
In addition to the Acceptable Use rules above, the following content is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate removal and potential account termination:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content sexualizing minors;
- Non-consensual intimate imagery or deepfakes of real persons without their consent;
- Content that infringes intellectual property or publicity rights;
- Content promoting illegal drugs, firearms sales, or human trafficking;
- Doxxing, threats of violence, or content designed to incite real-world harm.
CSAM will be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks, logos, and proprietary content, is owned by ClipForYou or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership interest in the Service to you.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, please send a DMCA notice to dmca@clipforyou.me with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
9. Termination
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, remove your content, and withhold or claw back payouts, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of these Terms, the Creator Agreement, the Acceptable Use rules, or any applicable law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 5 (License), 9 (Termination), 10 (Disclaimers), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnification), 13 (Dispute Resolution), and 14 (General).
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLIPFORYOU DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.
CLIPFORYOU DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CREATOR WILL PERFORM TO ANY PARTICULAR STANDARD. BUYER'S SOLE REMEDY AGAINST A CREATOR FOR NON-PERFORMANCE IS THROUGH THE DISPUTE PROCESS SET OUT IN THE REFUND POLICY.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLIPFORYOU AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF CLIPFORYOU HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
CLIPFORYOU'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO CLIPFORYOU IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ClipForYou, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your content; (c) your violation of these Terms, the Creator Agreement, or any applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party right.
13. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver
Read this section carefully; it affects your legal rights.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, in the State of Delaware or via video conference. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You and ClipForYou each waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Claims may be brought only in your individual capacity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may (i) bring an individual claim in small-claims court, or (ii) seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
