Terms of Service – VaylesClipr

VAYLESCLIPR - TERMS OF SERVICE AND END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Version 1.1 | Effective [DATE]

Please read this agreement carefully. By clicking "Accept", installing, or using VaylesClipr (the "Software"), you agree to be bound by it. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software. All sales are final (see section 12).

This agreement is between you ("you") and [YOUR NAME OR COMPANY] ("we", "us", "Licensor").

1. WHAT THE SOFTWARE IS

VaylesClipr is a desktop application for Windows that helps you turn videos into short clips, add captions and effects, and prepare posts. Most of its processing, including its AI features, runs on your own computer.

2. LICENSE GRANT

Subject to this agreement and a valid license key, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on up to [TWO (2)] computers that you own or control, to create content for personal or commercial purposes.

The license lasts for the period that your license key provides: either a fixed period (for example 30 days, which begins when you redeem the key) or "lifetime". "Lifetime" means for the lifetime of the Software product, not your lifetime. We may stop selling, updating or supporting the Software in the future; a lifetime key does not guarantee future updates, new features or support unless we say so in writing.

The Software is licensed, not sold. We keep all rights that are not expressly granted to you.

3. LICENSE KEYS

(a) A license key is for you only. Do not share, publish, sell, rent, lend or give your key to anyone else.
(b) Time-limited keys add their time to your license when you redeem them. Each key can be redeemed once on a computer.
(c) A key may be locked to a particular computer. The Software keeps a small record on your computer of which keys you have redeemed.
(d) We may disable a key (for example, in a future update of the Software) that was shared or leaked, charged back, disputed in bad faith, or obtained fraudulently or unlawfully.
(e) If you lose a key, contact us at the address in section 20 with your proof of purchase.

4. RESTRICTIONS

You may not, and may not allow anyone else to:
(a) copy, modify, translate, distribute, sublicense, lease or resell the Software;
(b) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or try to extract its source code, except to the extent the law allows this despite this restriction;
(c) remove, bypass, disable or tamper with the license check or any other protection in the Software, or create, share or use key generators, cracks or patches;
(d) remove or alter copyright, trademark or other notices;
(e) use the Software for any unlawful purpose, or to infringe other people's rights;
(f) use the Software or its code to build a competing product.

5. YOUR CONTENT AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You keep ownership of your videos, audio, images, text and the clips you create. We do not receive your content, and we claim no rights in it.

You are solely responsible for the content you download, import, edit, publish or share using the Software. That includes making sure you have all the rights and permissions you need (copyright, music and footage licenses, privacy and publicity rights) and that you follow the law and the terms of any website or platform you use (for example YouTube, Twitch, Kick, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit and Bluesky).

That the Software can download or process a video does not mean you have permission to do so or to reuse it. We do not encourage or condone infringement. We are not responsible for claims, takedowns, strikes, demonetization, bans or other consequences of your content or of how you use any platform.

The Software is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of those platforms or services.

6. AI FEATURES

The Software can use AI models that run locally on your computer. AI output (for example scripts, titles, captions, ratings and summaries) can be wrong, incomplete, biased or inappropriate. Features such as the profanity filter are best-effort and not guaranteed. You must review everything before you publish it. AI output is not professional advice. AI models are provided by third parties under their own licenses (see section 8 and CREDITS.txt).

7. UPDATES AND CHANGES TO THE SOFTWARE

We may release updates and may change, add or remove features. Some components, such as the video downloader (yt-dlp), update themselves in the background because the websites they work with change often. Websites and platforms can change or block downloads at any time, so we cannot guarantee that downloading from any particular site will always work.

8. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS AND DOWNLOADS

At your request, the Software downloads and installs components made by other people, such as FFmpeg, yt-dlp, Deno, Ollama, AI models and speech-recognition models, from their publishers' servers. These components are not ours. They are licensed to you under their own licenses, which are listed in CREDITS.txt, and we are not responsible for them or for their availability. Some of them are open-source: nothing in this agreement limits the rights those licenses give you for those components.

9. PRIVACY

The Software runs on your computer. Your videos, clips and the text you give to the AI features are processed on your computer and are not sent to us. The Software does not include analytics or tracking of its own. The license check happens on your computer.

The Software connects to the internet only to: (a) download its components and updates from their publishers; (b) fetch videos, images, pages and posts that you ask it to fetch; (c) talk to accounts or services that you choose to connect or use (for example social accounts or optional voice services), under those services' own terms and privacy policies; and (d) open links in your browser. The Software keeps a license record on your computer, which includes a hashed identifier of your computer.

Purchases are handled on [YOUR WEBSITE] under its privacy policy. Questions about privacy: [YOUR EMAIL].

10. OWNERSHIP

The Software, its name, logo and design are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. "VaylesClipr" is our trademark. This agreement gives you no right to use our trademarks.

11. FEEDBACK

If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.

12. PRICE; ALL SALES FINAL

All purchases of license keys are final. We do not give refunds, credits or exchanges for any reason, including if you change your mind, do not use the Software, or find that it does not suit your needs or your computer. Please make sure the Software is right for you before you buy. The only exception is where the law of the place where you live gives you a refund or cancellation right that cannot be waived by agreement. If you start a chargeback or payment dispute, we may disable the related license key.

13. TERMINATION

This agreement and your license end automatically if you break it. We may also end your license and disable your key if you break this agreement. When the license ends you must stop using the Software and delete it. Sections 4, 5, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 continue to apply after termination.

14. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT IT WILL WORK WITH EVERY WEBSITE OR VIDEO, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE CORRECT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER THE LAW WHERE YOU LIVE (FOR EXAMPLE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS).

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, CONTENT, ACCOUNTS OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR IT IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW, SUCH AS LIABILITY FOR FRAUD OR FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE.

16. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and compensate us against third-party claims, losses and costs that arise from your content, from your breach of this agreement, or from your use of the Software in breach of the law or of another party's rights.

17. GOVERNING LAW

This agreement is governed by the laws of [YOUR COUNTRY OR STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of [YOUR COUNTRY OR STATE] have jurisdiction, except that nothing here removes any mandatory consumer rights or protections you have in the place where you live.

18. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT

We may update this agreement. When we make a material change, the Software will ask you to accept the new version before you continue. If you do not accept, you must stop using the Software.

19. GENERAL

This agreement (with CREDITS.txt) is the entire agreement between you and us about the Software. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not given it up. You may not transfer your license or this agreement to anyone else without our written consent. We may transfer ours as part of a sale of our business.
