Entry into force: July 19, 2025

1. The Contract

These Terms Form a Binding Contract

These Terms of Service and any Order Form(s) together form a binding "Contract" between Customer and Clipyard. "We," "our" and "us" refers to Clipyard Limited. If you purchase subscription(s) to the Services, invite individuals to use the Services, or use the Services after being notified of changes to these Terms, you acknowledge your understanding of the then-current Contract and agree to the Contract on behalf of Customer.

Company's Services

Clipyard offers video and image creation services using artificial intelligence through our platform available at https://clipyard.ai (the "Platform") and associated API (the "API"). The Services include AI avatars, voice generation, image generation, video creation tools, and related functionality.

Who is "Customer"?

"Customer" is the organization that you represent in agreeing to the Contract. If you signed up using your corporate email domain, your organization is Customer, and Customer can modify and re-assign roles for your Services and otherwise exercise its rights under the Contract.

Authorized Users

An "Authorized User" is an individual, such as an employee, contractor or client of Customer, who is invited by Customer to use the Services. Authorized Users may have varying levels of roles, access and permission depending on the subscription plan and Customer's configuration.

2. Terms and Conditions

The general terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") constitute the sole document governing Clipyard's contractual relationship with the Client and define:

  • the terms of use of the Services,
  • the respective obligations of the parties.

The Client can find them via a direct link at the bottom of the Platform page.

The Client accepts the Terms and Conditions when registering on the registration form. If the Client does not accept all Terms and Conditions, they cannot access the Services.

3. Payment Service Provider

All payments made through the Platform are handled by the payment service provider indicated on the Platform (the "Payment Service Provider").

The Client will contract directly with the Payment Service Provider for implementation of these payments by accepting its terms and conditions.

If the Payment Service Provider rejects or terminates the Client's Subscription, the Client may not use the Services.

4. Access Conditions

The Client is a legal entity acting through a natural person with the power or authority required to enter into a contract in the Client's name and on their behalf.

The Client is a professional, understood as any natural person or legal entity acting for purposes within the scope of their commercial, industrial, artisanal, liberal or agricultural activity.

5. Technical Requirements

To access the Services, the Client must have the following hardware or software: a computer, a good internet connection, and a modern web browser.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

Ordering Subscriptions

Subscriptions allow Customer and its Authorized Users to access the Services and to create, edit and generate videos. A subscription is required for each individual and may be procured through the Services interface or via an order form. Subscriptions commence when we make them available to Customer and continue for the term specified in the Services interface or Order Form.

Auto-Renewal

Unless Customer cancels its subscription before the end of the current billing period, subscriptions will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the original subscription term. Customer will be charged the then-current subscription fee at the beginning of each renewal period. Customer may cancel auto-renewal at any time through the Services interface or by contacting support.

Payment Terms

Customer agrees to pay all applicable fees for the Services. All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in these Terms. If Customer fails to pay fees when due, we may suspend or terminate Customer's access to the Services after providing reasonable notice.

Credits and Usage

Each subscription includes a number of credits corresponding to videos that can be generated. Unused credits do not roll over between billing periods unless specified in the subscription plan. Additional credits may be purchased separately.

7. Service Description

Clipyard offers the Client the ability on the Platform to create a final video (the "Video") from:

  • a catalogue of videos made by different creators (the "Creators") in different environments (the "Video Models"),
