Terms of Service
These terms describe ClipClipper, a personal desktop tool. The tool is operated by Amanuel Abebayehu Belay ("I", "me") for my own use. These pages exist so TikTok's developer form, and anyone I show the project to, can read how the tool works.
1. The service
ClipClipper ingests a video from a link or a local file, cuts short clips, and can send those clips to my own TikTok inbox as drafts using TikTok's official Content Posting API and the video.upload scope. It is not offered as a public or commercial service, and it does not create accounts for other people.
2. Who may use it
The tool is intended for me. If I later let someone I know run a copy on their own computer, they do so at their own risk, must use their own TikTok developer app and access token, and must follow these terms, TikTok's terms, and the law.
3. Content and rights
I will only clip videos I have the right to use, for example my own recordings or footage used with the creator's or campaign's permission. ClipClipper does not grant any licence to other people's content. Anyone using a copy of the tool is solely responsible for the videos they ingest, the captions they write, and any upload to TikTok.
4. TikTok and other platforms
Uploads go through TikTok's official APIs, not unofficial uploaders. Use of TikTok remains subject to TikTok's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and Developer Terms. YouTube downloads or other source platforms, if used, remain subject to those platforms' terms as well.
5. No warranty
The tool is provided "as is". I do not promise that it will always work, that TikTok will accept every upload, or that a developer app will stay approved. Features can change or stop without notice, including when a platform changes its API or rules.
6. Liability
To the extent allowed by law, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost views, account restrictions, or damages that arise from using or being unable to use the tool.
7. Changes
I may update these terms by posting a new version at this URL and changing the effective date.
