Kineticlip — End User Licence Agreement

Version: 1.1 Last updated: 7 August 2026

1. Who this agreement is between

This agreement is between you (the person or company that installs or uses the Software, whether or not you have bought a licence key, "you") and Alex R., an individual established in the State of New York, United States, contactable at Alexcrocrox@gmail.com ("we", "us"), the publisher of Kineticlip ("the Software").

The Software is the Kineticlip Windows application, its installer, its updates, and its documentation.

By installing or using the Software you accept this agreement. If you do not accept it, do not install it, and ask for a refund under the refund policy.

2. What you are allowed to do

Kineticlip is free to use, in full. There is no trial period, no clip limit, no locked feature and no countdown. Install it and everything works, with or without a licence key. Clips you export carry a small Kineticlip watermark.

A licence key removes that watermark from the clips you export. That is what buying one does, and it is the whole difference between the free app and the paid one. Nothing is unlocked, because nothing was locked.

We licence the Software to you either way. We do not sell it to you — you own your copy of the files and your own videos, but the Software itself stays ours.

Whether you have paid or not:

• Use it for any purpose, including making money. Clips you produce with Kineticlip are yours, watermarked or not. You can monetise them, sell them, or publish them anywhere. We take no cut and claim no rights in them.
• Use it for as long as you like, on your own computers, without asking us.

If you have bought a key, that key is also:

• Personal to you. One licence covers one person (or, for a company licence, one named employee).
• Limited to 3 computers that you own or control, used by you. Reinstalling on a replacement machine is fine. The limit is administered by Lemon Squeezy, which issues and tracks the licence keys: your key can be activated on three computers, and Lemon Squeezy refuses the fourth. Nothing inside Kineticlip counts your machines or picks that number. It is a limit on watermark-free installations, not on installations — the free app has no limit at all.
• If you run out of computers, email us. There is no button in the app that releases a machine, so a rebuilt PC or a laptop you sold still holds one of your three. Write to Alexcrocrox@gmail.com with your order number and we will free one up. We do not treat this as a breach — it is the normal way people change computers.
• Perpetual, and updates are included. You pay once. The licence does not expire, there is no subscription and no renewal, and every update we release for Kineticlip is free to you for as long as we publish them. We may stop publishing updates at any time; that does not end your licence or your right to keep using the version you have.
• Re-checked while you use it. Kineticlip asks whether your key is still good — at most about once a week, while the app is open and connected — and keeps your exports clean for 14 days from the last answer it managed to get, so a train journey or a company firewall costs you nothing. If the key is switched off, which in practice means a refund or a chargeback (§13), the watermark returns on clips exported after that. The check decides the watermark and nothing else; there is no state it can put the app into that stops you using it. What is sent, and when, is in the privacy policy §4.

3. What you may not do

You may not:

• Resell, rent, sublicense, or give away the Software, your licence key, or the installer. Sharing your key is the same as sharing the Software.
• Publish the installer or make it downloadable by anyone else.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or try to defeat the licence check, except where the law expressly gives you that right (for example to make it work with other software, and only after asking us first).
• Take the watermark off without a licence key — by patching the Software, by editing, cropping or painting it out of an exported clip, or by any other means. Removing it is the one thing a key is sold for. What you do to your own footage is otherwise your business; doing it to avoid paying for the one thing we charge for is a breach of this agreement.
• Remove or hide our name, the licence notices, or the third-party notices that ship with the Software.
• Use it to break the law, or to break the rules of the platforms you publish to (see §5).

The one exception: parts of the Software are open-source components with their own licences (see §6). Where an open-source licence gives you more rights than this agreement, that licence wins for that component.

4. What the Software does and does not promise about AI output

Kineticlip uses machine learning to transcribe speech, pick a highlight, write a title and description, and place captions. That work is a prediction, not a fact. Specifically:

• Transcripts will contain mistakes, especially with accents, game audio, slang, overlapping voices and crosstalk.
• The clip it picks may not be the best moment, or even a good one.
• Titles, descriptions and tags are suggestions. They may be inaccurate, dull, or unsuitable.
• Captions may mis-time or mis-spell words.

You are responsible for what you publish. Watch the clip and read the text before you upload it. Nothing the Software generates has been reviewed by us, and we do not warrant that it is accurate, appropriate, brand-safe, or fit to publish.

You are also responsible for the rights in what you feed in and what you put out: your game footage, anyone else's voice in your recordings, and any music or sound effects you add to the Software's asset folders. If you do not have the right to use something, Kineticlip processing it does not give you that right.

5. Other companies' services are your accounts, on their terms

Kineticlip can connect to services that are yours, not ours. When you connect one, you are using it under that company's terms, with that company's account, and at that company's discretion:

We do not control these services. They can change their APIs, their rules, their prices, or their approval process at any time, and they can suspend your access for reasons that have nothing to do with us. If one of them changes in a way that breaks a feature, we will try to fix or replace it, but we cannot promise that a feature depending on someone else's service will keep working, and their breaking it is not a defect in the Software.

You are responsible for staying inside their rules — including quota limits, automation and spam rules, disclosure rules for AI-assisted content, and the copyright rules of whatever you upload. What each platform requires of you is theirs to publish and yours to follow; we summarise our reading of it in the project's repository, but their current terms are the ones that bind you.

Discord star ratings and the weekly digest are switched off. Both needed a gateway bot that nothing in this version starts, so the buttons answered every click with an error. Discord still receives your finished clips as notifications, which is the part that works. Approving or skipping a clip happens in the app, under Review.

Posting to X (Twitter) works, and it needs your own X developer app. Connect X on the Publish tab and the Post to X button uploads the finished clip and the text you wrote. Like YouTube and TikTok, this is your developer app on your account, subject to X's terms, its approval process and its rate limits — none of which we control.

Instagram posting does not exist. There is no Instagram code in the product at all.

Costs on those services are yours. Cloud AI mode in particular runs on your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key and you pay that company directly for it.

6. Open-source and third-party components

The Software includes and downloads third-party software. The complete list, with each component's licence and where that licence was verified, ships with the product as THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt and lives in the repository at build/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt.

Two things worth calling out because they affect your rights:

• FFmpeg is included as a separate program that Kineticlip runs. The build we ship is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3. You are entitled to the complete corresponding source code for it, and it is published alongside every release rather than only on request: FFmpeg source code. The archive contains FFmpeg at the exact commit our binary reports, the full build configuration, and a written offer good for three years covering any other component of that build. Nothing in this agreement limits your rights under the GPL for that component.
• Fonts. The default caption font (Bangers) and the interface font (Inter) are under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The full text of every font licence is reproduced in THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt, which ships with the Software.

7. Updates and support

The Software checks for updates when it starts and every few hours while it is open, and can download and install them. Updates may change or remove features. You can decline an update, but we only support the current version.

Support: email Alexcrocrox@gmail.com — we aim to reply within 2 business days

We are not obliged to provide support, updates or new features beyond what this section says.

8. Your data

Kineticlip has no user accounts. Your recordings, transcripts, clips and settings stay on your PC unless you turn on a feature that sends something out. We run two small endpoints and no more: one that checks a licence key you have entered, and one that receives a bug report you have pressed send on. Exactly what leaves your machine, when, and to whom is described in the privacy policy. Read it — it is short and it is specific.

9. No warranty

The Software is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, merchantability, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

• the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects;
• it will work on every combination of Windows version, graphics card, driver, capture software, antivirus and recording format;
• it will produce clips of any particular quality, or clips any platform will accept, promote, or monetise;
• your data will not be lost. Keep your own backups of anything you care about.

10. Things that are your side of the line

We are not responsible for:

• footage you record, or the rights in it;
• what you publish, or the consequences of publishing it;
• strikes, takedowns, demonetisation, shadowbans, or account suspensions on any platform;
• charges you run up on your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or other third-party account;
• lost recordings or clips where you had no backup;
• damage caused by you modifying the Software or the files it manages.

11. Limit on what we owe you

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for everything connected with the Software — added together, however it arises, in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise — is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the licence.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss: lost revenue, lost followers, lost sponsorship, lost profits, lost or corrupted data, or business interruption, even if we were told it was possible.

12. Your rights as a consumer still stand

Nothing in §§9–11 takes away rights you have under the law that applies to you that cannot be excluded — for example statutory rights when digital content is faulty, not as described, or not of satisfactory quality. If a court finds any part of §§9–11 unenforceable, the rest still applies.

If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, you have rights that this agreement cannot reduce, and they apply on top of everything above:

• A 14-day right to withdraw. You may cancel within 14 days of purchase for any reason. Our refund policy gives you 30 days, so in practice you always have the longer window — but the 14-day right exists independently of it.
• You may lose that right by asking for immediate delivery. Digital content supplied instantly is an exception to the withdrawal right, but only where you expressly consented to immediate supply and acknowledged losing the right, at checkout. Whether that happened is decided by what Lemon Squeezy's checkout put in front of you; we do not write that page and we make no claim about it here. It changes nothing in practice: our refund policy gives you 30 days for any reason, which is longer than the 14 days either way.
• Faulty or not as described. If the Software does not match what we said it does, your statutory remedies apply regardless of §§9–11.
• Where you can sue. Consumer-protection law in your country may let you bring a claim in your own courts whatever §14 says. Nothing here removes that.

Sales are made through Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record, which is the seller on your invoice and handles VAT.

13. Ending this agreement

You can end it at any time by uninstalling the Software and deleting your copy. Ending it does not automatically entitle you to a refund — see the refund policy.

We can end it if you materially breach it — in particular by sharing or publishing the Software or your licence key, by defeating the licence check, or by stripping the watermark instead of buying a key (§3). Where the breach can be fixed, we will tell you and give you a reasonable chance to fix it first.

A refund is not that. If we refund your purchase (including after a chargeback), the paid part ends and nothing else does: your key is switched off, clips you export after that carry the watermark again, and you may carry on using Kineticlip for free for as long as you want. You do not have to uninstall it. The refund policy §4 sets out exactly when the watermark comes back.

If we end this agreement for a breach, you must stop using the Software and delete it. Either way, clips you have already produced remain yours.

14. Which country's law applies

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in New York have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from it.

"Non-exclusive" is deliberate: if you are a consumer, the law where you live may let you bring a claim in your own country's courts instead, and §12 says so. This clause sets where we can be sued, not where you must be.

15. The rest

• Whole agreement. This document, plus the privacy and refund policies it links to, is the whole agreement about the Software. Marketing copy is not part of it — although we are not allowed to mislead you either, and we do not intend to.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your licence to someone else without our written consent. We may transfer this agreement if the business is sold, as long as your rights are not reduced.
• Severability. If one clause is unenforceable, the others survive.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce something immediately, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.
• Notices. To us: Alexcrocrox@gmail.com. To you: the email address you used to buy.

16. Age

You must be at least 18, or 16 with a parent's consent, to buy a licence.
