ClipEngine
Terms of Service
Effective August 3, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you (the "client") and CJS Corporate LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as ClipEngine ("we", "us"). They apply when you buy or use any ClipEngine service. If you do not agree with them, do not purchase.
Questions, notices and cancellations go to getclipengine@gmail.com.
1. What we do
We produce short vertical video clips from long-form video or audio you already own, such as podcast episodes, interviews and recorded shows. We cut, caption and format them for short-form platforms. We are a production service. We do not manage your accounts, publish on your behalf, or run your advertising unless we separately agree to in writing.
2. What you are responsible for
You confirm that you own the source material you send us, or that you have permission to use it and to have it edited. You are responsible for the content of what you say in your own footage. You are responsible for reviewing every clip before you publish it, and for the decision to publish.
We will not knowingly work with material that is unlawful, or that you do not have the right to use. If we believe material falls into either category we may decline the work and refund any unused portion.
3. Ownership of the work
You keep all rights in your source material. Nothing here transfers it to us.
Once a clip is paid for in full, you own the finished clip and may use it however you like, including commercially, with no ongoing licence fee to us.
We keep the right to show finished work as an example of our own services, in a portfolio, on our website or in outreach. If you would rather we did not, email us and we will stop. That request applies going forward and does not require a reason.
The methods, tooling, presets and templates we use to make clips stay ours.
4. Third-party material in clips
Some editing styles use short pieces of third-party reference footage such as reaction shots, sports moments or widely circulated internet clips. Where a clip includes material like that, we do not warrant that it has been licensed or cleared, and we do not indemnify you for publishing it.
You decide what goes on your channels. Review each clip before publishing and tell us if you want third-party material excluded from your work. We will honour that for every clip after the request, at no charge.
5. Revisions
Each batch of clips includes one round of revisions. A revision means a restyle: a different visual treatment, caption style or banner applied to the same cut, returned within 24 hours.
A different moment, a different cut, a new title or a re-transcription is new work, not a revision, and belongs in the next batch.
Our own defects are never counted as a revision. A misquote in a caption, a bad cut, a transcription error or a rendering fault is our mistake. We fix it free, immediately, and it does not use your revision round.
6. Turnaround
Our stated turnaround runs from when we have both your payment and usable source material, whichever comes later. Turnaround times are targets made in good faith, not guarantees. If we are going to miss one we will tell you rather than let it pass quietly.
7. Prices, payment and renewal
One-time purchases (such as a trial pack) are charged once, in advance. Work begins after payment clears.
Monthly plans renew automatically. If you buy a monthly plan, you are agreeing that:
- the plan continues and your payment method is charged the stated amount every month until you cancel;
- the charge recurs on the same day each month, or the nearest available day in a shorter month;
- you may cancel at any time, with no cancellation fee and no minimum term;
- to cancel, email getclipengine@gmail.com with "Cancel" in the subject line. That is enough. You do not need to call anyone, give a reason, or sit through an offer;
- a cancellation takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You keep your service until then and are not charged again.
We confirm every cancellation by email. If you do not get a confirmation within one business day, assume it did not reach us and send it again.
Card details are entered on our payment provider's hosted checkout. We never see, receive or store your card number.
We may change prices for future billing periods. If a price changes we will tell you by email before it takes effect, and you can cancel before the new price is charged. A price change never applies to a period you have already paid for.
8. Refunds
Refunds are covered in our Refund and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these terms.
9. What we do not promise
We do not promise views, followers, engagement, reach, revenue or any other result. Nobody honestly can. What we sell is the production work itself, delivered to the standard described here. Any figures we ever mention about other work are descriptions of the past and are not a prediction about yours.
The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
10. Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim connected with the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim arose.
We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profit, lost revenue, lost audience, or the consequences of publishing a clip.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
11. Ending the agreement
You may stop using the service at any time and cancel as described above. We may decline or end work if you do not pay, if you send material you do not have the right to use, or if the working relationship becomes abusive. If we end it for a reason that is not your fault, we refund the unused portion of what you paid.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change is material we will post it here with a new effective date and tell existing monthly clients by email before it applies to them. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the change.
13. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas, and both sides agree to that venue.
Before filing anything, email us. Most things are a misunderstanding and get fixed in a day.
