Clipbeat Terms of Service

Last updated: November 16, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Clipbeat at clipbeat.app and its apps (studio.clipbeat.app, auth.clipbeat.app) ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

The Service is operated by Umut Çetinkaya, a sole proprietor trading as Maksinet, based in Türkiye ("we", "us").

2. The Service

Clipbeat is an AI-assisted tool for creating music videos. It lets you upload audio, transcribe lyrics, generate images, video shots, music and voice with third-party AI models, edit a timeline and export or publish videos. Some processing happens in your browser (for example, browser video export); other features run on our servers and on the AI providers we work with. Features and models may change over time.

3. Accounts

You sign in with Google, TikTok, YouTube or Instagram. You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required to use online services in your country if that is higher. You are responsible for activity under your account and must provide accurate information. One person may not create multiple accounts to obtain additional promotional credits. Features that use a face or voice (section 6a) are only for users who are 18 or older.

4. Purchases, Credits and Payments

Seller and payment processing. Clipbeat is the seller of all purchases made in the Service. Card payments are processed by iyzico (iyzico Ödeme Hizmetleri A.Ş., a licensed payment institution in Turkey). Clipbeat does not store your card details; they are handled by iyzico. For questions about a payment or a refund, contact us at hello@clipbeat.app.

Bank statement. On your bank statement the charge appears as 850santral.com — that's the merchant account our payment processor uses for Clipbeat. It's us.

One-time purchases. Music videos and credit packs are one-time purchases. There are no subscriptions and no recurring charges. Prices are shown in USD; taxes may be added at checkout depending on your location. What each purchase includes is described on the Pricing page.

Credits. Credits are used to pay for AI generations. Credits have no cash value, are not transferable, cannot be exchanged for money (except for refunds under our Refund Policy) and can only be used within the Service. The number of credits an action costs is shown in the app and on the Pricing page and may change for future actions. Purchased credits do not expire.

Promotional credits. Some accounts may receive promotional credits (for example welcome credits). Promotional credits are given at no charge, have no cash value and are not refundable. We may withhold or remove welcome credits where we reasonably suspect abuse, such as creating multiple accounts.

5. Refunds

A purchase can be refunded within 14 days of the payment date only if nothing has been generated on your account yet. Once you generate anything (a preview, scene, video or edit), the purchase is non-refundable, including any unused credits, and a video that has been generated and delivered is not refunded. If something went wrong on our side, we fix it and deliver your video. Credits for a failed generation, including a failed artist build or artist scene, are returned automatically. Approved refunds are issued through iyzico to your original payment method. See our Refund Policy for details. This does not limit your statutory consumer rights.

6. Your Content and Rights

You keep ownership of the content you upload (such as audio, lyrics and images) and of the videos you create, to the extent you hold the rights. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process and transmit your content only as needed to provide the Service to you — for example, to transcribe your audio, send prompts to AI providers, store your projects and publish videos you choose to publish.

You are responsible for having the necessary rights to everything you upload and publish, including music, lyrics, samples, images, likenesses and trademarks. AI-generated output may not be unique and may be subject to the terms of the AI provider that produced it.

AI music services such as Suno. If your song was created with Suno or another AI music service, that service's terms decide whether you may publish or monetize it. For example, songs made on some no-cost plans may be limited to non-commercial use. Check those terms before publishing.

6a. Your face and voice (likeness features)

Effective October 23, 2026. Some Clipbeat features use a real person's face or voice. They are optional and only used when you turn them on. Clipbeat does not offer voice cloning: we do not create a copy of anyone's voice. The singing in your video is the vocal of the song you upload.

  • "Me" and saved characters — a selfie or photo of a face that becomes the lead character in your AI scenes (AI Director → "Me", or Settings → Characters).
  • My artist — an AI character of you built from 3 to 6 photos of yourself.
  • Lip-sync — singing shots where the mouth follows the vocal of your song. It works with Clipbeat's AI characters and with your own face (a saved character or your artist).
  • Your photos in motion — animating photos you upload into video shots, and automatic face repair that keeps the lead's face the same across scenes.

Only your own face and voice, or someone who agreed. You may use only your own face and voice, or the face or voice of another adult who has clearly agreed that you may use it in Clipbeat. You confirm this in the app before a face is saved. You must be 18 or older to use these features, and you must be able to show the other person's permission if we ask. "My artist" is only for your own face, and it is not offered to residents of Illinois, Texas or Washington (USA); you confirm this when you create it.

What you may never do. In addition to section 8 and our Acceptable Use Policy, you must not use these features, or the videos made with them, to:

  • use the face, likeness or voice of a celebrity, public figure, politician or other well-known person — even with their permission;
  • impersonate anyone, or create deceptive deepfakes: content that makes people believe a real person said, sang or did something they did not;
  • show anyone under 18 in photoreal form — no photos, selfies or voice recordings of minors, including your own children;
  • create sexual, nude or sexually suggestive content of anyone;
  • create political, election or news content that could mislead viewers;
  • harass, defame, threaten or bully anyone;
  • get around our checks, for example by uploading edited or AI-generated photos, or photos or recordings of people who did not agree.

AI labels. Videos made with these features are AI-generated. Exports carry a small "AI-generated" label, and generated images and videos may carry invisible watermarks (such as Google SynthID). You must not remove or hide these labels, and when you publish you must follow the platform's rules for AI or synthetic content (for example YouTube's "altered or synthetic content" setting and TikTok's AI-generated label) and any law that requires you to disclose AI-generated content.

Checks and safety filters. We automatically check saved faces and artist photos (one adult face, no nudity, no promotional photos, posters or screenshots, no public figures) and may refuse a photo or a scene. The safety filters of our AI providers stay on for every image and video we generate, including scenes with your face, and cannot be turned off. Artists flagged by our checks are reviewed by a person at Clipbeat. We may disable or delete a saved face or an artist, and the videos and public links made with it, if we believe these terms were broken or if someone reports that their face or voice was used without permission. We aim to act on such reports within 48 hours.

Credits. Creating an artist and lip-sync cost the credits shown in the app before you start. One regeneration of an artist's character sheet is included at no charge; further ones cost credits. Scenes with your face may cost a few credits more than a normal image, including automatic likeness retries. If a job fails on our or our provider's side, its credits are refunded automatically.

Your rights and our license. You keep your rights in your photos, recordings and the videos you make. You give Clipbeat a limited license to store and process them only to provide these features to you, as described in the Privacy Policy (section 2a). We do not use your photos, voice or likeness to train AI models, and we do not use them in our own marketing without your separate written permission.

Withdrawing consent and deleting. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the data: a saved character in Settings → Characters, your artist in AI Director → My artist → Delete my artist. We then delete the photos and character sheets from our storage as described in the Privacy Policy. Videos you already made stay yours until you delete them. Unused artists are deleted automatically after 12 months (we email you 30 days before). You can also ask us to delete any of this data at hello@clipbeat.app.

Responsibility. You are responsible for the photos and recordings you upload and how you use them. To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Clipbeat against third-party claims arising from photos or recordings you had no right to use or from content that breaks this section.

7. Public Links, Showcase and Artist Pages

If you create a public link for a project, anyone with the link can view it, and it may appear in the public Showcase. You can remove the public link at any time. We may remove public content that violates these Terms.

Faces you create from a written description may appear in other users' singer gallery; you can remove yours at any time.

7a. Showing videos on your artist page

Effective November 16, 2026 (version 2026-11-16). This section applies only to videos you choose to show on or after that date; it does not change how anything you published before is used.

  • Your choice, per video. Nothing is shown on an artist page unless you turn it on for that video with the “Show this video on my artist page” box, which is off by default.
  • License. When you show a video, you give Clipbeat a non-exclusive, worldwide license, with no royalties owed, to host, stream and display that video, its title, the text you add and your stage name on your artist page (clipbeat.app/a/your-name), on the video's own page and in the Clipbeat showcase, and to let search engines index those pages — only for as long as the video stays shown. You keep ownership of your content.
  • Your rights. You confirm that you own the song or have permission to publish it, and that your video does not infringe anyone else's rights.
  • Stage name. You choose your stage name; you do not have to use your real name. You may not use the name of a famous artist, another person or a brand, or impersonate anyone. We may refuse or remove such names.
  • Your face. If a video may show your face, it is shown only with your separate, explicit consent given for that video. You can withdraw it at any time by hiding the video. Never show anyone else's face without their permission (see section 6a).
  • AI music services and covers. If your song appears to be made with Suno or another AI music service, or is marked as a cover, the video is shown with the sound off.
  • Children. Videos made for children are never shown on artist pages.
  • Removal. You can hide a video or your whole page at any time. It goes offline immediately and we ask search engines to drop it; search results and copies made by others may take some time to disappear. We may hide or remove any video or page that violates these Terms or after a valid complaint.
  • Referral link. The Clipbeat watermark on your video carries your personal link. If someone who watches your video signs up through it and pays, you may earn 25% of their first payment under the affiliate program terms.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Upload or create content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights
  • Create sexual content involving minors, hateful or harassing content, or non-consensual depictions of real people
  • Use a celebrity's or public figure's face, likeness or voice, or another person's face or voice without their permission, including face swaps, impersonation and deceptive deepfakes
  • Create sexual content of anyone, or photoreal AI content of anyone under 18 (see section 6a)
  • Remove or hide "AI-generated" labels or watermarks from content you publish
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or other users' data
  • Abuse promotional credits, resell access, or interfere with the Service's operation
  • Use the Service to spam or mislead others

9. Third-Party Services and Your Own API Keys

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example fal.ai, OpenRouter, MiniMax, Pexels and Pixabay). As an advanced option you may use your own API keys for some providers; those requests are billed by the provider under their terms, and we are not responsible for charges you incur with them.

10. Social Media Integration

You may connect YouTube, TikTok or Instagram to publish videos. By connecting an account you authorize us to upload content on your behalf when you ask us to. You must comply with each platform's terms, and you can disconnect at any time.

11. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Unused credits are not refunded when an account is terminated for a violation. If we terminate an account for misuse of "My artist", we delete the artist.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. AI output can be inaccurate or unexpected, and we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or without errors, or meet your specific requirements.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer protection law.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the date above. Continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
