Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Clipdrop Live — both the desktop application and the website at clipdroplive.com (together, the "Service") — operated by Sjuul Studios, based in the Netherlands ("we", "our", "us").

By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who can use Clipdrop Live

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country, whichever is higher. By using the Service, you confirm you meet this requirement.

2. The Service

Clipdrop Live is a desktop application that analyses audio and video files you provide and creates short clips. Optional features let you publish those clips to third-party social platforms (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) using OAuth.

We may add, change, or remove features over time. We may also offer different pricing tiers (Free, Pro, Studio). Tier limits and pricing are described on our website and may be updated.

3. Your content

You retain all ownership rights in the audio, video, and other content you process with Clipdrop Live ("Your Content"). We claim no rights to Your Content.

Because Clipdrop Live processes Your Content locally on your device, we do not have access to or store Your Content on our servers.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to use Your Content. This includes any music, recordings, samples, or other material that is subject to copyright, neighbouring rights, or other third-party rights. You must obtain any necessary licenses or permissions before using Clipdrop Live with content you do not own.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Clipdrop Live to:

• Infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
• Create or distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or hateful.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except to the extent permitted by applicable law.
• Bypass usage limits, rate limits, or access controls.
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service without our written permission.
• Use the Service in a way that violates the terms of any connected third-party platform (e.g. TikTok, Meta).

5. Third-party platforms

If you connect a third-party social account (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) to publish clips, your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party platforms or for what they do with content you publish to them.

6. Subscriptions and payment

Pro and Studio tiers are paid subscriptions. Pricing is shown on our website in euros and may include applicable VAT. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

EU consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the Consumer Rights Directive. By starting to use a paid feature, you may waive this right for the digital service in question — we will make this explicit at checkout.

7. Free tier and fair use

The Free tier is provided as-is, with monthly limits described on our website. We reserve the right to apply reasonable rate-limiting or usage caps to prevent abuse.

8. Intellectual property in the Service

The Service, including its software, design, copy, and branding, is owned by Sjuul Studios and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose during the term of your subscription (or, for the Free tier, while we make it available).

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that drop detection will be perfect, that exports will succeed in every case, or that third-party platforms will accept every clip. Drop detection is a best-effort algorithm, not a guaranteed result.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or €100, whichever is higher.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (e.g. liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct).

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, or if we discontinue the Service. We will give reasonable notice where practical.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, for paid users, notify you by email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved by the competent courts of the Netherlands, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence requires otherwise.
