Terms of Service

1. Plain-language summary

• You are an independent contributor, not an employee of Clipp or any brand.
• Only edit and post footage, music and assets you are allowed to use for the campaign.
• Every paid clip must carry a clear paid-partnership disclosure in the required wording and place.
• Fake or bought views, bots, fake accounts and tricks to avoid checks are fraud and lead to lost earnings, account closure and repayment.
• You are paid for verified views after the campaign’s lock window, and earnings can be adjusted if views prove invalid.
• You protect Clipp and promoters from losses your clips, fraud or rule-breaking cause; you are not liable for Clipp’s misconduct or brand instructions you followed.
• You can dispute any fraud finding or rejection and appeal the decision.

2. Definitions

• Campaign: a brand-funded programme under which clippers publish clips for payment.
• Source Material: long-form footage, audio, images or text supplied or authorised for a Campaign.
• Clip: a short-form edit of Source Material published or submitted under a Campaign.
• Content: Clips, captions, links, audio, images, text, data and other material submitted or published through Clipp.
• Verified Views: views remaining after measurement providers’ data and Clipp’s fraud filters are applied.
• Platform Rules: the rules of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X and any other platform where Clips are posted.
• Promoter: a brand, agency or sponsor that funds, approves or benefits from a Campaign.
• Clipp Parties: Clipp, its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors and successors.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live, and have legal capacity to contract. Regulated campaigns (for example betting, prediction markets or crypto) may require additional age and location checks. You may hold one account, may only connect social accounts you own and control, must keep your details accurate and must not be on any sanctions list.

Before joining a campaign, submitting a clip or receiving a payout, clippers must complete identity verification and accept these Terms electronically. We record the version accepted, the time, IP address and device. When we make material changes we will give at least 30 days’ notice and ask you to re-accept at your next sign-in.

4. Independent contributor status

Nothing in these Terms creates employment, partnership or agency. We do not guarantee any minimum work, views or earnings. You are responsible for your own taxes, social contributions and equipment.

5. Clips, licences and source material

• You may use only Source Material supplied or authorised for the Campaign, within its stated territory, term, platform and restricted-segment limits. You gain no ownership of Source Material.
• You keep ownership of your original edits and grant Clipp and the Campaign’s promoter a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence during the Campaign and afterwards to host, embed, display, reformat, promote and measure your clips and credit your handle, including in showcases and case studies.
• Do not include third-party video, images, voices, fonts or music unless you hold a licence covering paid promotion.

6. Paid-partnership disclosure

You must clearly and conspicuously disclose the paid relationship on every clip using the wording, placement and platform tool each Campaign requires. A platform label alone is not a substitute. Disclosures must be visible without expanding text. You must not delete, hide or edit the disclosure, or materially edit a clip after verification, without resubmitting it. You must not make claims beyond the approved brief, including claims about earnings, returns, health or results.

7. Fraud and prohibited conduct

You must not engage in, or help others engage in:

• artificially inflating views, likes, comments, shares or watch time through bots, view farms, purchased or incentivised engagement, scripts, automation, self-viewing loops or coordinated accounts;
• using fake, rented, hacked or impersonated accounts;
• submitting clips you do not own or control, or the same clip from several accounts;
• misrepresenting your identity, location, age or audience;
• editing, hiding or removing a disclosure or clip after verification to avoid checks;
• submitting false or manipulated evidence, screenshots or analytics;
• colluding with others to extract payouts, ratings or reputation;
• payment fraud, chargeback abuse, stolen payment methods or money laundering;
• circumventing fees, verification or lock windows; or
• for promoters and source owners, knowingly supplying material you have no right to use or misrepresenting your identity, budget or ability to pay.

Acting reasonably and on evidence, we may reject submissions; withhold, reduce or reverse earnings for affected clips (and related earnings where a pattern shows systemic fraud); recover paid amounts by set-off or demand; suspend or close accounts; block payout methods; and share information with platforms, payment providers, affected promoters, law enforcement or regulators as the law requires or permits.

8. Earnings and payouts

• The rate for each Campaign is shown before you start. Earnings move through pending, locked, payable and paid states.
• Earnings are based on Verified Views and remain locked for the Campaign’s lock window shown at submission. Because provider data can change, we may adjust earnings for corrections made within the lock window plus 30 days.
• No earnings are paid on rejected, removed or non-compliant clips.
• We may hold back a reasonable portion of earnings for a limited period to cover reversals and estimated claims, and may set off amounts you owe us against amounts we owe you.
• Minimum payout, currency, fees and payment-provider terms are shown in your account. You must provide required tax information, and we withhold tax where the law requires.
• We do not guarantee views, earnings or that platforms will keep your posts available.

9. Promoter and brand obligations

Promoters are responsible for their briefs, instructions, approved disclosure wording, product and service claims, the legality of their category including any licences, and any geography or age targeting they request. Promoters may be required to prepay or deposit campaign funds. Campaigns remain under review until approved by Clipp, and funding a campaign does not by itself release any payment to creators.

10. Copyright and takedown

We operate a notice-and-takedown process. We may remove or disable access to content on a valid notice, or on our reasonable belief that it infringes, without liability. We will notify the affected user and promoter and offer a counter-notice route. Accounts receiving three valid copyright notices within 12 months are terminated as repeat infringers. If a notice concerns Source Material we may pause the Campaign, and promoters must remove or pause reposts of affected clips on their own channels within 24 hours of our notice.

A valid notice includes the owner’s or authorised agent’s signature; identification of the work and the allegedly infringing material with enough detail to locate it; contact details; a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorised; and a statement that the notice is accurate and that the sender is authorised to act. A counter-notice includes a signature, identification of the removed material, a good-faith statement that it was removed by mistake, and the user’s name, address and phone number. Send notices to hi@clippmedia.com.

11. Indemnity

Clippers. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each clipper will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Clipp Parties and the promoters of Campaigns they join from claims and losses arising from their clips and content (including infringement, privacy or publicity claims), unlicensed third-party material, breach of these Terms or Platform Rules, fraudulent activity, disclosure failures, off-brief claims, platform action against a promoter or Clipp caused by the clipper’s conduct, taxes owed, and negligence or wilful misconduct.

Source owners and promoters. To the fullest extent permitted by law, source owners and promoters will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Clipp Parties and the clippers on their Campaigns from claims and losses arising from Source Material and brand assets they supply, missing releases or music licences, undisclosed restrictions, briefs and instructions, featured products, services and offers, category compliance and targeting, approvals they give, and their own fraud or breach.

Exceptions. No party indemnifies another to the extent the loss was caused by the indemnified party’s gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud. A clipper is not responsible for Source Material or promoter instructions followed without modification and without knowing they were infringing or unlawful. Where a clipper is an individual acting outside a business and the law restricts indemnities, the clipper’s liability under this section is limited to earnings received in the previous 12 months, except for fraud, wilful misconduct and liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Procedure. The indemnified party gives prompt written notice; the indemnitor controls the defence with reasonably acceptable counsel; no settlement may impose an admission or non-monetary obligation without consent; and Clipp may take over any claim involving a platform or regulator. Promoters may enforce the clipper indemnity directly for Campaigns they fund. Each user is liable only for its own conduct unless users colluded.

12. Reviews, disputes and appeals

• We tell you the category of concern within 2 business days of a hold or rejection, without revealing detection methods.
• You have 10 business days to respond with evidence.
• A second reviewer checks the evidence and we send a written decision within 10 business days.
• You may appeal within 14 days; a final decision follows within 15 business days.
• For payment fraud or safety risks we may suspend an account immediately, with the review following.

13. Data and account access

Where we need access to your social analytics we request read-only permission, use it only for verification and never post on your behalf. You may revoke access at any time, which may prevent us verifying and paying affected clips. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.

14. Third-party platforms

You must follow the rules of every platform where you post. Platforms may remove content or restrict accounts at their discretion, and Clipp is not liable for those decisions.

15. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, our services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty about views, earnings, reach or platform availability. Our total liability to you for all claims in any 12-month period is limited to the fees Clipp received from you in that period, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss or lost profits. Nothing limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. The indemnities in section 11 are not limited by this section.

16. Suspension and termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close it for breach, fraud, legal or platform risk, or inactivity. We will pay legitimate verified earnings already payable unless they relate to fraud or are needed to cover a claim. Sections on fraud, copyright, earnings adjustments, indemnity, disputes, liability and data survive termination.

17. Governing law and general terms

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Parties will first try to resolve any dispute informally for 30 days after written notice; unresolved disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of India. Where the law allows, claims are brought individually and not as class actions. Mandatory consumer rights in your home country are not affected.

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver. We may assign these Terms to a successor. These Terms and the documents they reference are the entire agreement on their subject.
