Terms of Service
Last updated November 10, 2026
The service
ClipAtelier is a creator studio that helps you turn long-form videos you submit (YouTube link to a video you own or may use, or a file upload) into short clips, and can publish those clips to social accounts you connect. By using ClipAtelier you agree to these terms and our Acceptable Use Policy (https://clipatelier.com/acceptable-use).
Your content and rights
Only submit videos you own or have permission to use — for example your own YouTube uploads, videos from creators who allow clipping (such as clipping programs), or content you have licensed. You confirm this when you create your account, and that confirmation is stored with your account record.
You are solely responsible for the videos you submit and the clips you publish, including any copyright claims, and for complying with the terms of YouTube and every other platform you post to. ClipAtelier does not review or approve the content you process.
You keep ownership of your content. You grant ClipAtelier the limited permission needed to process it temporarily and publish it on your behalf when you instruct us to.
Source media is processed to create your clips and is deleted after rendering. Finished clips are retained for a limited period (see the Privacy Policy) and then deleted, unless a scheduled post still needs them.
We may remove content and suspend or close accounts that repeatedly infringe the rights of others.
NSFW and adult sexual content are prohibited in source videos and in AI-generated or edited outputs (titles, descriptions, hashtags, captions, and published clips). See the Acceptable Use Policy for details: https://clipatelier.com/acceptable-use#nsfw
YouTube API Services
ClipAtelier uses YouTube API Services only so you can connect your YouTube channel and upload or schedule Shorts you created in the studio to that channel. We request youtube.upload for publishing and youtube.readonly to show which channel is connected.
We do not use YouTube API Services to provide a YouTube substitute, an offline YouTube player, or a product that sells or distributes separate audio or video tracks from YouTube content. Any temporary media processing needed to create your own clips is done for the videos you submit under the content-rights rules above, and source files are deleted after clips are rendered.
By connecting YouTube you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Google's handling of data is described in the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
AI-generated outputs
ClipAtelier may generate titles, descriptions, hashtags, captions, and related copy from your video. You must review these outputs before publishing. Prohibited uses of AI outputs (misleading claims, impersonation, scams, harassment, hate, illegal content, and more) are listed in our Acceptable Use Policy: https://clipatelier.com/acceptable-use#ai-outputs
Channel Feeds
Channel Feeds is not currently offered on the public product. If it is enabled for an account in the future, it would only watch source channels the account holder is allowed to clip (for example their own channel, a licence, a creator clipping program, or Creative Commons terms that allow it), and clips would publish only to destinations that account owns.
Unauthorised use of third-party channels remains a breach of these terms whenever such a feature is available.
Copyright complaints
If you believe a clip created with ClipAtelier infringes your copyright, email copyright@clipatelier.com with a link to the content, proof that you own the rights, and your contact details. We respond promptly and remove content we still host.
Connected accounts
When you connect YouTube (or TikTok, once available), ClipAtelier posts only the clips you publish, schedule or queue via autopilot. You can disconnect an account at any time.
How we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy (https://clipatelier.com/privacy).
Plans, tokens and payments
Producing clips consumes tokens according to the price shown before each job. Tokens have no cash value, can't be transferred, and monthly plan tokens don't carry over to the next month. The free token grant is given once per account.
New paid subscriptions may start with a short paid trial (currently $1 for three days). After the trial, the plan renews automatically at the then-current plan price unless you cancel first. Payments are processed by our reseller Lemon Squeezy, who acts as the merchant of record and handles taxes and invoices.
We may change plans or prices with notice; changes apply from your next billing period.
Cancellation and refunds
You can cancel a subscription at any time from Settings → Billing. Cancelling stops future renewals and ends paid plan access immediately, including during a trial. Your account returns to the free plan at that moment.
Payments are non-refundable, including trial fees, partially used billing periods and unused tokens, except where a refund is required by law. Tokens for clips that fail to render are returned to your balance automatically.
If you were charged by mistake, for example a duplicate charge or a renewal after you cancelled, email support@clipatelier.com within 30 days and we will refund it in full.
Availability and liability
The service is provided as is. Platforms may reject, limit or make private uploads under their own rules and quotas; ClipAtelier is not liable for such decisions or for lost revenue.
