Terms of Use

1. Agreement

By using MateClip, you agree to these terms, the Privacy Policy, and any App Store terms that apply to your download, subscription, or purchase.

2. Apple Standard EULA

MateClip uses Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement for the iOS app. You can read Apple's Standard EULA at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/.

These terms add MateClip-specific rules for generated content, subscriptions, credits, support, and acceptable use. If there is a direct conflict with Apple's required App Store terms, Apple's terms control to the extent required.

3. What MateClip Does

MateClip turns chess games into vertical videos using PGN parsing, chess timeline generation, captions, board animation, sound effects, optional AI features, and server-side rendering. MateClip is a creator utility, not a chess coach, financial product, gambling product, or professional training service.

4. User Content

You are responsible for the PGNs, game links, names, captions, prompts, files, and other material you submit. You should only submit content you have the right to use and share.

You grant MateClip the limited rights needed to process your submitted content, generate videos, store previews or exports, provide support, troubleshoot issues, and improve the service.

5. Generated Clips

MateClip is designed to help users create shareable chess videos. Generated clips may contain watermarks, captions, chessboard visuals, AI-assisted text, sound effects, and app branding. Output quality, timing, captions, and chess moment selection may vary.

Users are responsible for where and how they post exported clips, including compliance with social platform rules, tournament rules, copyright law, publicity rights, and community guidelines.

6. Subscriptions, Credits, and Purchases

Paid features may include watermark removal, HD exports, AI voice, premium templates, priority queues, and generation credits. Paid iOS features are purchased through Apple In-App Purchase.

• Subscription allowances may reset based on the billing period shown in the app.
• Purchased credits are app features, not money, cash value, or transferable property.
• Failed renders caused by MateClip system errors may be eligible for credit refunds.
• User-requested regenerations, style changes, or new exports may require another credit.
• Refunds for App Store purchases are generally handled by Apple under Apple policies.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use MateClip to:

• Upload or generate content that violates another person's rights.
• Use copyrighted music, audio, video, images, or voice material without permission.
• Imitate real streamers, celebrities, public figures, or private people without authorization.
• Harass, deceive, defame, threaten, or target another person.
• Reverse engineer, overload, scrape, or abuse MateClip systems.
• Bypass paywalls, credits, account limits, or watermark requirements.

8. AI and Chess Accuracy

MateClip may use AI to draft captions, titles, storyboards, or narration. AI output can be incomplete or wrong. Chess analysis may use heuristics or engines, but MateClip does not guarantee perfect move evaluation, training advice, or chess accuracy.

9. Service Availability

MateClip may change, pause, or discontinue features as the app evolves. Rendering depends on servers, queues, storage, third-party providers, and network access. MateClip does not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

10. Disclaimers and Liability

MateClip is provided on an as is and as available basis to the fullest extent allowed by law. MateClip is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for losses related to social posts, creator revenue, account standing, or gameplay decisions.
