Effective Date: March 21, 2026 | Platform: ClipConnect
1. Introduction and Platform Role
Welcome to ClipConnect. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
ClipConnect operates solely as a digital intermediary platform connecting content creators ("Clippers") with businesses ("Brands"). We do not employ Clippers, nor do we act as an agency. We solely provide the technological infrastructure to facilitate campaigns, track views, and manage payouts.
2. Account Registration and Obligations
To use our services, whether as a Brand or a Clipper, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and up-to-date information.
A. Clipper Obligations
Clippers must ensure that all content posted on third-party platforms (such as Instagram) complies with the respective platform's terms of service. Clippers must not engage in fraudulent activities, including but not least: using bots, click farms, incentivized viewing networks, or any artificial methods to inflate view counts. Any such activity will result in immediate account suspension and forfeiture of any pending payouts.
B. Brand Obligations
Brands must ensure that any materials, guidelines, or assets provided for campaigns do not infringe upon third-party intellectual property rights and are not illegal, offensive, or defamatory.
3. Fees, Commissions, and Payments
ClipConnect relies on a structured commission model to maintain platform infrastructure and services.
A. Brand Fees
Brands are subject to a standard 10% platform fee added to their campaign budgets. This fee covers campaign management, tracking technology, and escrow-like services.
B. Clipper Payouts
Earnings accumulated by Clippers are subject to a 5% platform deduction upon withdrawal to cover transaction processing and platform maintenance. Earnings are calculated based on the view tracking capabilities of our third-party integrations.
4. Third-Party Integrations and Tracking
ClipConnect utilizes third-party APIs and services (including but not limited to Instagram APIs and Apify) to track campaign performance and video views.
Disclaimer: ClipConnect is not responsible for the accuracy, uptime, or availability of these third-party services. If a third-party service revokes access, limits API calls, or alters their tracking methodology, we are not liable for any discrepancies in view counts or subsequent payout adjustments.
5. Intellectual Property
Clippers retain ownership of the content they create, and Brands retain ownership of the designated campaign assets. By using the platform, Clippers grant ClipConnect a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use their names, handles, and campaign performance data for promotional and analytical purposes.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ClipConnect shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:
- Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the platform;
- Any conduct or content of any third party on the platform;
- Any unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ClipConnect, its officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, disputes, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, and costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the platform and its services.
