YapCut

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and YapCut ("YapCut", "we", "us") governing your access to and use of the YapCut web application, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be flagged by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by an in-product notice. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.

YapCut is an AI-assisted video editing workspace. The application runs in your browser, reads source video files directly from your device, and uses AI models to help draft cuts, captions, transcripts, and exports.

Some operations — AI generation, account management, billing, and storage of derived assets — are processed on YapCut servers and on third-party services we contract with. The boundary between local and server-side data is described in our Privacy Policy.

The Service is not designed to satisfy industry-specific regulatory regimes (for example, HIPAA, FISMA, or GLBA). You may not use the Service in any way that would require it to do so.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Service with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.

By using the Service you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement and that your use will comply with all applicable laws.

You may need to register to use parts of the Service. You agree to:

• provide true, accurate, current, and complete registration information;
• keep your credentials confidential and not share them;
• take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account;
• notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that contain false information, that are used to abuse the Service, or that breach these Terms.

You agree not to:

• upload, edit, or distribute content you do not have the right to use, including content that infringes copyright, trademark, publicity, or privacy rights;
• generate or distribute content that is unlawful, deceptive, harassing, hateful, sexually exploitative of minors, or that promotes violence;
• use the Service to develop a competing product, including by scraping outputs to train your own models;
• probe, attack, or attempt to bypass the security, rate limits, or access controls of the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits;
• resell, sublicense, or transfer your account or credits to another person without our written permission;
• use automated means (bots, scripts, scrapers) to interact with the Service except through documented APIs;
• use the Service in a way that violates any applicable law, regulation, or export control rule.

We may, at our discretion, refuse, restrict, throttle, or remove any content or account that we believe breaches these rules.

Ownership. You retain all rights to the source videos, audio, images, prompts, and other materials you bring into the Service ("Your Content"). You also retain rights to the edits you create with the Service, subject to the rights you already hold (or do not hold) in the underlying media.

License to operate. To run the Service for you, you grant YapCut a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, transcode, render, and display Your Content solely as needed to provide, secure, and improve the Service. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups or as required by law.

No training on your data. We do not use Your Content (including source media, prompts, transcripts, and outputs) to train YapCut's own foundation models. Third-party model providers operate under their own terms; YapCut configures those providers, where the option is available, to not retain content for training.

Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have all rights, licenses, and consents necessary to upload, edit, and distribute it.

YapCut and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including software, designs, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (the "YapCut Materials"). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal or internal business purposes.

Except for that license, you receive no rights in the YapCut Materials. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works of any part of the Service or YapCut Materials without our prior written permission.

If you send us suggestions, ideas, bug reports, or other feedback ("Feedback"), you grant YapCut an unlimited, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that Feedback for any purpose without obligation to you. We are not required to keep Feedback confidential.

Parts of the Service are available only on paid plans or via credit purchases. By choosing a paid plan or buying credits, you agree to:

• provide accurate billing and payment information;
• pay all fees and applicable taxes in the currency listed at checkout;
• let us charge your payment method on a recurring basis if you are on a subscription plan, until you cancel.

Credits. Credits are consumed when you run AI features. Pricing and rates may change; we will surface material changes before they take effect on your account. Unused credits may expire under the terms displayed in the credit catalog at the time of purchase.

Cancellation. You may cancel a subscription at any time from your account; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, fees already paid and credits already consumed are non-refundable.

Price changes. We may change prices, plan structures, or credit rates. Changes apply to future renewals and future credit purchases, not to amounts already paid.

The Service integrates with third-party services for authentication, analytics, AI generation, storage, and payments. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service — including features, models, plans, and credit catalog entries — at any time. We aim to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. The Service may experience outages, latency spikes, or maintenance windows.

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time by following the deletion process described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your use creates risk or potential liability for YapCut or other users, or if we are required to do so by law. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

AI-generated outputs may contain errors, omissions, or content that is inaccurate, biased, or otherwise unsuitable. You are responsible for reviewing all outputs before publishing or distributing them.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, YapCut and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Service.

Our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the six (6) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation of certain warranties or damages. In those jurisdictions, the limitations above apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless YapCut and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of:

• Your Content or your use of the Service;
• your breach of these Terms;
• your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, please send a notice to [email protected] that includes:

• your contact information;
• a description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• a description of where the allegedly infringing material is located in the Service;
• a statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder;
• your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or disable access to material we believe in good faith to be infringing, and we may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which YapCut is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent permitted by law, you and YapCut agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally by contacting [email protected] before initiating any formal proceeding.

Nothing in this section limits either party's right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or confidential information.

By using the Service, you consent to receive electronic communications from us — including emails, in-product notices, and SMS where applicable — and you agree that those electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies posted in the Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and YapCut regarding the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
