By creating an account or using HookClips (hookclips.tech) or its Telegram bot, you agree to these terms, the Privacy Policy, the AI Policy and the Copyright Policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the service.
1. What HookClips is
HookClips is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to cut the videos whose links you provide into vertical clips. HookClips doesn’t choose which videos to process, only posts to your socials what you confirm, and doesn’t host public content: the resulting files are private to your account and are deleted automatically 24 hours after they’re made. Download them before then.
HookClips is not affiliated with YouTube, Google, TikTok, Instagram, Meta, or the creators, channels or people who appear in the videos. Their names and trademarks belong to their owners.
2. Who can use it
You must be 18 or older (or the age of majority where you live) and able to enter a contract. If you use it on behalf of a company, you confirm you can bind it to these terms.
3. Your account
You’re responsible for what happens on your account and for keeping your access secure. One person, one account: creating several to get around Free plan limits may lead us to close them.
4. You are responsible for the content
The videos you process belong to their owners. By pasting a link or uploading a file, you represent and warrant that:
- you have the permission, license or legal right to use, edit and publish that content (for example, because it’s yours, the owner authorized you, or your use is allowed by your country’s law);
- you’ll follow the rules of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and any other platform where you post the clips, including their rules on AI-edited content;
- you won’t use the clips to defame, harass, deceive or expose anyone, or to change the meaning of what someone said;
- you’ll review every clip, its text and its caption before posting it.
Everything you post or do with the clips is your responsibility, not HookClips’. HookClips doesn’t review, approve or endorse the content you process.
Posting to your socials: if you connect TikTok or YouTube, you also agree to their rules. For YouTube, by using that feature you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. You are the one posting and you’re responsible for what you upload.
5. What’s not allowed
- Processing content you know you can’t use, or continuing after a copyright notice.
- Illegal content, sexual content involving minors, content promoting violence or hate, or content exposing people’s private data.
- Using clips to create false or misleading content about real people.
- Trying to bypass limits, attacking or overloading the server, automating use without permission, copying the service or reselling it.
- Uploading logos, trademarks or text you don’t have the right to use.
If any of this happens, or we receive a valid copyright notice about your use, we may delete the content, pause or close your account without a refund, and cooperate with authorities when the law requires it.
6. Plans and payments
- The Free plan allows 1 video every 24 hours (counted from when you use it), 1 free account per person and connection, and its clips carry a watermark. When demand is high, free videos may have to wait or be tried later.
- Paid plans are subscriptions that renew automatically. The monthly plan is charged when you subscribe and then every month on the same day. The yearly plan charges one year upfront at a discount; when the year ends it continues month to month at the regular monthly price shown on Pricing, unless you cancel first.
- Charges use the same method you paid with (PayPal or card). Your app shows the date of the next charge.
- You can cancel anytime in My plan → Cancel renewal or from your PayPal account. When you cancel you won’t be charged again and your plan stays active until the end of the period you already paid for (the current month or year). Then you go back to the Free plan.
- If a charge fails, the subscription is paused and the plan ends at the end of the paid period. You can subscribe again anytime.
- If you switch plans, the new one starts that day and the old subscription is canceled so you’re never charged twice.
- If we change the price, the new price only applies from your next charge and we’ll tell you in the app beforehand; if you don’t agree, you can cancel.
- Limits are the ones shown on Pricing when you pay. Prices are in US dollars and may change for future payments.
- Refunds follow the Refund Policy.
7. License to process
We claim no ownership over what you process or over the clips. You only give us permission to download, temporarily store and process that content for the sole purpose of providing the service. We don’t use your content to train AI models or show it to others without your permission.
8. No warranties
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. The AI can make mistakes: pick the wrong moment, write the wrong text, miss a word to mute or something to blur. We don’t guarantee that a clip will go viral, comply with a platform’s rules, be monetizable, or that the service will always run without interruption. Word muting, blurring and the viral score are automatic aids, not a legal or human review.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, HookClips and its owner aren’t liable for indirect damages, lost profits, followers, monetization or accounts, or for third-party claims over content you process or post. In any case, HookClips’ total liability is limited to what you paid in the last 30 days.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold HookClips and its owner harmless from any claim, lawsuit, fine, damage or expense (including attorney fees) arising from: content you processed or posted, your breach of these terms, or your violation of someone else’s rights or the law.
11. Affiliate program
The affiliate program is invite-only: HookClips chooses which creators take part and may remove anyone at any time.
- Commission: the percentage shown in your “Affiliates” section (30% unless we agree otherwise) of every payment from someone who created their account through your link, during their first 12 months as a customer. If they cancel their plan, they stop generating commission.
- Not counted: refunded or charged-back payments, pre-existing accounts, your own or your team’s accounts, or sign-ups obtained through spam, ads using the HookClips brand without permission, deception or false promises.
- Payment: your pending balance is paid via PayPal, usually once a month, to the email you enter in your section. If a payment we already paid commission on is later refunded, we may deduct it from the next payout.
- Tracking: the link stores the code for 30 days in the person’s browser (if they accept the cookie). Our records decide which referrals and payments count.
- When promoting HookClips you must disclose that you earn a commission, as advertising laws require (for example, the FTC in the United States), and you may not present yourself as an employee or speak on behalf of HookClips. You’re responsible for reporting and paying your own taxes.
- If you break these rules, we may remove you from the program and void the commission from those sales.
12. Changes and termination
We may change or discontinue features and update these terms. For important changes we’ll notify you in the app; continuing to use the service after the notice means you accept them. You can delete your account anytime from Settings.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Dominican Republic. Any dispute will be resolved before the courts of Santo Domingo, unless your country’s law gives you a right that can’t be waived. If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest remains in force.
