TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Terms and Conditions — ClipMusic

Last updated: 25 September 2026

1. Provider; scope of these Terms

1.1 The Service is provided by Mapionix UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Lisa-Weinert-Straße 9, 31079 Sibbesse, Germany, represented by its managing director Peter Helmut Baumann, registered with Amtsgericht Hildesheim under HRB 210361, e-mail contact@clipmusic.app ("we", "us").

1.2 These Terms govern your use of the ClipMusic iOS application (the "App") and of every Generated Track you create with it. You accept them by downloading or using the App.

1.3 "Consumer" means a natural person who uses the Service for purposes outside their trade, business or profession (§ 13 BGB). "Business User" means anyone who uses the Service in the exercise of their trade, business or profession (§ 14 BGB). Conflicting terms of Business Users do not apply, even if we do not expressly reject them.

1.4 The licence to the App itself is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA"). These Terms supplement the Apple EULA. Where they conflict regarding the Service or Generated Tracks, these Terms prevail.

2. Definitions

Input — the video you select in the App, the still frames the App extracts from it, and the genre, style text and vocals setting you choose.
Analysis — the music suggestions (genre, tempo, mood, instrumentation and similar attributes) the AI derives from your Input.
Generated Track — an audio track generated by AI through the Service on the basis of your Input and the Analysis.
Final Video — the video you export from the App, combining your video with a Generated Track.
Music Minutes — the generation allowance you acquire through a Plan or a top-up purchase.
Plan — a paid subscription (e.g. Basic, Pro) or a one-off top-up purchase of Music Minutes.
AI Providers — the third-party services we use to provide the Service (section 11).
Commercial Use — any use in connection with a trade, business, craft or profession, including advertising, marketing and monetised content.

3. The Service

3.1 The App lets you select a video, have still frames of it analysed by AI, receive music suggestions, generate an original background track, preview it with your video and export the Final Video. The Final Video is created on your device.

3.2 Generated Tracks are produced by probabilistic AI models. Results vary between runs. We do not promise any particular quality, style, tempo, duration or fit for a particular video.

3.3 Generated Tracks are not unique. The same or similar Input can lead to the same or substantially similar tracks for other users.

3.4 We may develop the Service and change or replace AI models or AI Providers, provided the core function — generating background music for your video — remains available and the change is reasonable for you. Changes never limit the rights you already hold in Generated Tracks created before the change.

3.5 We do not store your Generated Tracks or Final Videos. Tracks are delivered to your device and are not kept on our servers. You are responsible for saving and backing up your Final Videos.

4. Eligibility

4.1 You must be at least 16 years old to use the App. If you are under 18, you need the consent of your parent or legal guardian.

4.2 The App does not use accounts or sign-in. Your Music Minutes are linked to your App Store purchase.

5. Plans, music minutes and payment

5.1 Features, prices and the number of Music Minutes of each Plan are shown in the App and on the App Store. Prices include statutory VAT where applicable.

5.2 All purchases are processed by Apple through in-app purchase. Apple handles payment, invoicing and refunds. You cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

5.3 Music Minutes are deducted according to the length of each Generated Track. Minutes included in a subscription are valid for the billing period in which they are granted and do not roll over. Music Minutes bought as a top-up remain valid for twelve (12) months from purchase. Music Minutes cannot be transferred or exchanged for money. If a generation fails for technical reasons on our side, the minutes used are credited back.

5.4 Price changes apply only to future billing periods. For subscriptions, a new price applies from the next renewal after prior notice by Apple or in the App.

5.5 Right of withdrawal. Consumers in the EU/EEA have a statutory right of withdrawal for digital content and services. For in-app purchases, the withdrawal is handled by Apple as the seller.

6. Your videos (Input)

6.1 You keep all rights in your Input. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, free-of-charge right to process, technically modify (e.g. extract, scale down) and transmit your Input to the AI Providers, solely to provide the Service to you. We do not store your Input (see our Privacy Policy).

6.2 You are solely responsible for your Input. You confirm that:

(a) you hold all rights needed to use the video, including any music or audio already in it;
(b) your Input does not infringe the rights of others, including copyright, trademark and personality rights;
(c) you have the consent of every identifiable person shown in the video, where required;
(d) your Input complies with applicable law and section 10.

6.3 We may refuse or block Input that breaches these Terms.

7. Rights to Generated Tracks — what you may do

7.1 Rights chain. We obtain Generated Tracks from AI Providers under commercial licences and pass the rights on to you as set out in this section. Purely AI-generated music may not be protected by copyright in some jurisdictions, including Germany, the EU and the USA. What we grant you is therefore a licence of any rights that exist, combined with our contractual permission to use the track as described in these Terms.

7.2 Licence. For every Generated Track you create, we grant you a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive licence, requiring no further payment to us, to use the track for any lawful purpose, including Commercial Use, within the limits of section 8. In particular, you may:

(a) publish the Final Video on social-media and video platforms (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Pinterest), as organic content and as paid ads;
(b) use it in online advertising and marketing, on websites, in apps, newsletters and online shops;
(c) use it in monetised content (advertising revenue, creator funds, sponsorships, brand deals);
(d) use it offline, e.g. in presentations, at trade fairs, events and in shops, and in podcasts;
(e) use it for internal purposes of your business, e.g. training or internal communication;
(f) use it in client work under section 7.3;
(g) edit the track (cut, loop, change volume, mix with other audio);
(h) reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and make the track available, in each case as part of your own content.

7.3 Client work. Business Users (e.g. agencies, freelancers) may pass the licence in section 7.2 on to their client, but only as part of the Final Video or other production made for that client. Section 8 applies to the client too, and you must bind your client to it. Handing over the track as a standalone audio file requires our prior consent.

7.4 Survival. The licence for a Generated Track remains in force after your subscription ends, after you delete the App and after these Terms end. You need an active Plan or Music Minutes only to generate new tracks.

7.5 No exclusivity. All rights are non-exclusive. Other users may receive the same or similar tracks (section 3.3). You may not claim exclusive rights in a Generated Track or assert claims against us, the AI Providers or other users because of identical or similar tracks.

7.6 No guarantee of copyright status. We do not promise that a Generated Track is protected by copyright, that it can be registered anywhere, or that you can enforce rights in it against third parties.

8. Restrictions on Generated Tracks — what you may not do

These restrictions apply to every Generated Track and remain in force after these Terms end. They implement the licence conditions of ElevenLabs, our music AI Provider (section 11), and apply regardless of which plan you use in ClipMusic. You may not, and may not allow anyone else to:

8.1 Film, TV, radio and games. Use a Generated Track in:

(a) films (cinema, festival or streaming films);
(b) television — linear, on-demand or connected TV — including TV commercials;
(c) radio — including radio commercials;
(d) Studio Games, meaning video games commercialised on more than one platform through sales, advertising or other monetisation.

Publishing on social-media and video platforms under section 7.2(a) is not affected by this restriction.

8.2 No reselling; no music libraries. Sell, license for payment or otherwise distribute Generated Tracks on their own as music, in particular through music libraries, stock-music or sound-effect catalogues, sample packs, beat stores, NFTs or similar offerings, or build any library, catalogue or database of Generated Tracks with the intent of making them available to third parties. Client work under section 7.3 is not affected.

8.3 No music releases. Release Generated Tracks as standalone music on streaming or download services (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Bandcamp) or through music distributors.

8.4 No registration. Register a Generated Track, or content consisting mainly of it, with collecting societies (e.g. GEMA), content-recognition systems (e.g. YouTube Content ID, Meta Rights Manager), music-rights databases or public registers, or claim authorship or exclusive rights in it there.

8.5 Restricted industries. Use Generated Tracks for, or in connection with:

(a) firearms or weapons manufacture or trade;
(b) tobacco products or related paraphernalia;
(c) prescription pharmaceuticals or controlled substances;
(d) adult entertainment or pornographic content;
(e) religious organisations or institutions;
(f) political advocacy or campaigning, including for parties or candidates, electoral services or other political causes.

8.6 Unlawful and harmful content. Use Generated Tracks together with content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, violent, glorifies terrorism, exploits minors, is fraudulent or otherwise infringes the rights of others.

8.7 No artist impersonation. State or imply that a Generated Track was created, performed or endorsed by a real artist; use the name, likeness or branding of real artists in titles, metadata or promotion; or present a Generated Track as imitating the voice or style of an identifiable person.

8.8 No AI training. Use Generated Tracks to train, fine-tune or improve machine-learning models, or to build a service that competes with ClipMusic.

8.9 AI transparency. Where the law (including Art. 50 of the EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) or the rules of the platform you publish on require it, label content containing Generated Tracks as AI-generated. Do not remove or falsify technical markings or content credentials embedded in a track.

9. Social-media platforms and content-recognition systems

9.1 Generated Tracks are newly created by AI. For uses within section 7.2, you need no additional licence from us. This does not cover rights arising from your own content — for example music already contained in your video.

9.2 We give no guarantee that a platform will accept your content. We have no influence on the rules, music libraries or automated content-recognition systems of social-media platforms. Because Generated Tracks are not unique (section 3.3), such systems may in rare cases raise a claim — for example when a third party has wrongly registered a similar track. We will assist you within reason, for instance by confirming that a track was generated with ClipMusic. Liability is governed by section 14.

10. Prohibited uses of the Service

You may not:

(a) use the Service in breach of applicable law or third-party rights;
(b) submit Input that is unlawful, pornographic, exploits minors, is defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, discriminatory, violent, glorifies terrorism or infringes rights;
(c) enter the names of real artists or songwriters, titles of songs, albums, publishers or labels, or substantial parts of song lyrics in the style or genre fields, or otherwise try to make the Service reproduce or imitate existing music or the voice of a real person;
(d) generate tracks that you know or should reasonably know infringe the rights of third parties;
(e) interfere with the security of the Service or the systems of the AI Providers, or introduce malware;
(f) reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the App, except where mandatory law allows it;
(g) access the Service by automated means, scrape it, or generate tracks in bulk to get around usage limits;
(h) resell, rent or provide the Service to third parties as a service;
(i) use the Service to develop a competing product;
(j) breach the ElevenLabs Prohibited Use Policy (https://elevenlabs.io/use-policy), which also applies to your use of the Service.

If you breach these rules, we may block Input or features, or restrict your access to the Service, after weighing both sides' interests and, where reasonable, after a warning.

11. Third-party AI providers

11.1 Current providers. Video frames are analysed with Google Gemini (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC). Music is generated with ElevenLabs (Eleven Labs Poland sp. z o.o. / Eleven Labs Inc.). We may change providers under section 3.4.

11.2 Our contract only. Your contract for the Service is with us alone. The AI Providers are not our agents or partners, and they are not your contractual partners; they assume no obligations towards you.

11.3 ElevenLabs as third-party beneficiary. The restrictions in sections 8 and 10 implement the conditions of our agreement with ElevenLabs. ElevenLabs is a third-party beneficiary of these restrictions and may enforce them directly against you (§ 328 BGB).

11.4 Processing by ElevenLabs. You permit ElevenLabs to process and use the data you submit through the Service (the text music prompt, track length and vocals setting) in order to provide and support the music generation. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

11.5 External services. The Service depends on third-party services (AI Providers, Apple, the platforms you publish on) that are outside our control and may change, suspend or discontinue their services. If a service essential to ClipMusic is permanently discontinued, section 3.4 applies.

12. Apple

12.1 These Terms are concluded between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.

12.2 Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.

12.3 If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

12.4 We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer-protection claims and intellectual-property claims.

12.5 You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

12.6 Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Our intellectual property; term and termination

13.1 The App, its software, design, brand, prompt frameworks and all other content of the Service belong to us or our licensors. You receive no rights beyond those expressly granted in these Terms and the Apple EULA.

13.2 These Terms apply for an indefinite period. You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the App; subscriptions end as described in section 5. We may terminate with four weeks' notice. Both sides may terminate for good cause.

13.3 When these Terms end, your right to use the Service ends. Sections 7.4 to 7.6, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 continue to apply.

14. Warranty and liability

14.1 Consumers have the statutory rights for digital products (§§ 327 et seq. BGB). We provide the Service with reasonable skill and care but do not promise uninterrupted availability. Maintenance or faults of AI Providers may cause temporary restrictions.

14.2 We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act, for fraudulently concealed defects and under any guarantee we have expressly given.

14.3 For damage caused by slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on which you may regularly rely — and only up to the foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract. Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.

14.4 Towards Business Users, in addition: (a) our liability under section 14.3 is limited to the total fees paid for the Service in the twelve months before the damaging event; (b) liability for indirect damage and lost profit is excluded in cases of slight negligence; (c) strict liability for defects existing at the time the contract is concluded (§ 536a(1) BGB) is excluded.

14.5 These limitations also apply to our legal representatives, employees and agents.

14.6 The statutory rights of Consumers remain unaffected.

15. Indemnification

15.1 Business Users indemnify us against all claims of third parties, including reasonable costs of legal defence, arising from their Input, their use of the Service or Generated Tracks in breach of these Terms, or claims of their clients under section 7.3 — unless they are not responsible for the breach. For Consumers, the statutory rules apply.

15.2 We will inform you promptly of any such claim, give you the opportunity to take part in the defence and will not acknowledge the claim without your consent.

16. Data protection; changes; final provisions

16.1 Data protection. How we process personal data is described in our Privacy Policy at https://www.clipmusic.app/privacy/. It is not part of these Terms.

16.2 Changes to these Terms. We may change these Terms (a) where required by law, regulation or court order; (b) where the change is only to your advantage; or (c) for other valid reasons, such as changes to the Service or to the conditions of our AI Providers. We will announce changes in the App and publish them at https://www.clipmusic.app/terms/. Changes never limit rights under section 7 in Generated Tracks created before the change. Material changes to the disadvantage of Consumers will be announced at least six weeks in advance. They take effect only if you continue to use the Service after they have come into force; you can stop using the Service at any time.

16.3 Governing law. German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For Consumers, this choice of law does not remove the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.

16.4 Place of jurisdiction. If you are a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Hildesheim, Germany.

16.5 Consumer dispute resolution. We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).

16.6 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid.
