Terms of Use

Last updated October 25, 2026

1. General

These terms govern your use of HookClip (the website https://hookclip.ai and the mobile apps), provided by [Full Name], sole proprietor (Russia), Taxpayer ID [000000000000]. By signing up or using the service you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. The service

HookClip uses AI to find strong moments in long videos, turns them into vertical clips with captions, suggests titles, descriptions, and tags, and, if you choose, publishes the clips to YouTube on a schedule. AI output can contain mistakes: review clips and text before publishing. Features depend on your plan.

3. Your account

You must be at least 16. Use a valid email, keep your password secret, and tell us if someone else accessed your account. One account may serve several of your own channels or clients within your plan.

4. Your content

• Only add videos you have the rights to: your own, or with the rights holder's permission. You are responsible for making sure processing and publishing the clips does not infringe anyone's rights.
• You keep all rights to your videos and clips. You allow us to process them only to provide the service (downloading, transcription, analysis, editing, storage, and publishing at your request).
• You upload music for clips ("My music") yourself: your own tracks or tracks from your subscription to a music service whose license allows this use. By uploading a track you confirm you have the rights to it; this confirmation is stored with its date. You are responsible for the rights to the track. If the service licenses your channel, connect the channel in its dashboard, otherwise YouTube Content ID may flag the clip. Tracks stay in your library only, are not available to other users, and are deleted with your account.
• Voiceovers, dubs, and AI Studio videos are created by neural networks. Record or clone only your own voice, and someone else's only with their written consent; likeness of a real person without consent, deception, deepfakes, and scenes prohibited by the provider's rules are not allowed. We add a synthetic media label to videos where a platform requires one, and you must not remove it. Generated output may be inaccurate, so review it before publishing.
• Do not use the service for unlawful content, copyright infringement, spam, circumventing limits, automated bulk access without our permission, reselling access, or interfering with the service.
• We may remove material after a substantiated rights holder complaint. Complaints: support@hookclip.ai.

5. Publishing to YouTube

Publishing works through YouTube API Services. By connecting a channel you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service and follow YouTube's rules for the content you publish. You can disconnect a channel at any time. Videos already uploaded to YouTube with a scheduled publish time will be published by YouTube unless you cancel them before disconnecting.

6. Plans and payment

• Paid plans are monthly or annual subscriptions that renew automatically. You are charged when you subscribe and at the start of each new period until you turn off auto-renewal.
• Each paid month grants credits: 1 credit = 1 minute of video (at least 5 per video). Unused plan credits expire at the end of the month; credits from purchased packs last 12 months.
• Upgrades apply immediately with a prorated charge; downgrades apply from the next period.
• If a renewal fails, your plan stays active for 3 days while we retry, then the account moves to the free plan.
• Turn off auto-renewal on the website under Plan (the plan stays active until the end of the paid period). Subscriptions bought in the app are managed in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Prices are shown on the website and in the app. We will notify you in advance of a price change to an active subscription; the new price applies from the next period.

7. Refunds

You may cancel a subscription or pack at any time and request a refund at support@hookclip.ai. We refund the unused part: the share of the payment matching the smaller of the remaining credits and renders for the current period (plus months not yet started on an annual plan), minus the payment provider's non-refundable fee. After a refund, the paid period and remaining credits are cancelled. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded by Apple and Google under their own policies. If you dispute a payment with your bank, purchases on the account are blocked until the dispute is resolved.

8. Liability

The service is provided "as is". We work to keep it running but do not guarantee that clips will get views or that the service will be uninterrupted. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid in the last 3 months. Nothing in these terms limits consumer rights that cannot be limited by law.

9. Termination

You may delete your account at any time (how). We may suspend or close an account that violates these terms, notifying you by email unless that would hinder an investigation.

10. Changes and disputes

We will announce material changes in advance; continuing to use the service means you accept them. These terms are governed by the laws of the Russian Federation, unless the law of your country gives you, as a consumer, other protection. We first try to resolve disputes by email: support@hookclip.ai.
