1. Who we are and what this is
In plain words: clipbeep sells you results, not impressions of results. This document is the contract between your company and ours.
1.1 clipbeep is operated by Everlancer OÜ, a European Union company registered in Estonia (registry code 17590253, Narva mnt 5, 10117 Tallinn) ("clipbeep", "we", "us"). Our contact address is hello@clipbeep.com.
1.2 These Terms apply to you when you open a brand account, fund a campaign budget, or run a campaign on clipbeep ("you", "your", "the brand"). We engage clippers under a separate contract between us and them, to which you are not a party. Our Privacy Policy describes how we process personal data. Our Moderation Policy, published at clipbeep.com/legal/moderation, describes how we review brands, campaigns and content and how warnings, strikes, appeals and reports work.
1.3 clipbeep is a business-to-business service. You confirm you are acting for a business, not as a consumer, and that the person accepting these Terms is authorised to bind your company.
1.4 We sell you a promotion service priced per verified result, in our own name. We do not warrant any commercial outcome. You set what you are willing to pay for a result, and we will not spend past it.
2. Opening an account
In plain words: real company, authorised signer, not a sanctioned party.
2.1 The individual creating the account must be at least 18 and authorised to enter into contracts for your company. We may ask for evidence of that authority and of the company's existence.
2.2 clipbeep is open worldwide except for jurisdictions and persons covered by the EU consolidated sanctions list, the sanctions programmes administered by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the UK sanctions list, each as updated from time to time. You confirm your company, its owners, and its directors are not sanctioned persons and that you are not acting for one.
2.3 You will give us accurate company details for invoicing, VAT treatment, and our onboarding checks, and will keep them current. If you are established in an EU member state other than Estonia, you must give us your VAT number, which we validate in the EU VIES system, or confirm when you open your account that you have none. Until you give us a VAT number validated in VIES, including while an application for one is pending, we treat you as not registered for VAT under section 5.5. Once you have a valid number, you can ask us to correct our invoices to you for the period for which you can document your VAT registration. Section 5.5 sets out the VAT we charge. If you are established outside the EU, you must give us your VAT or business tax identification number or, if you have none, your company registration number or other proof that you are a business. If a VAT number you gave us stops being valid, you must tell us at once; we treat you as not registered for VAT under section 5.5 from the date it stopped being valid until you give us a VAT number validated in VIES, and we may pause new campaign funding until you give us a valid one.
2.4 We may decline or close an account where our payment partners will not serve it, or where a country's fraud statistics make the risk unmanageable.
2.5 Programmatic access. We may give your account programmatic access to clipbeep (API keys, an MCP server or similar interfaces) where we make them available; your account shows which are available to you. Anything done through that access, including by automated agents or AI tools you run, counts as done by your company under these Terms. You are responsible for keeping your keys safe and for every instruction sent with them.
2.6 Money always needs a person. Funding a campaign, saving a card, raising a spending limit and any other payment authorisation must be confirmed by an authorised natural person of your company. Where we make it available, an agent may prepare a campaign and, where a person has set a spending limit for it in advance with a saved card, request top-ups within that limit; anything beyond it waits for a person.
2.7 Our controls. We may rate-limit, suspend or revoke programmatic access at any time to protect clipbeep, clippers or other brands. Programmatic access may not be used to scrape clipper data, to circumvent campaign rules or verification, or to do anything a person could not do under these Terms.
3. What you buy from us, and what happens to your money
In plain words: you buy results from us, and you pay for them up front. What you pay is ours when we receive it. Any part your campaigns do not use becomes your credit when the campaign closes, which you can use for your next campaigns or take back to where it came from. Clippers work for us, not for you. We are not a bank.
3.1 What you buy. You buy from us, in our own name, a promotion service priced per verified result, at the rate printed on your campaign card. Each campaign pays for one kind of result only, as set under section 6.2: a sale, a subscription or a trial or, once available, a thousand verified views. We are the party that sells you that service and the only party you pay.
3.2 Your campaign budget is paid up front. You fund a campaign before it goes live. The full amount you pay is our own revenue when we receive it, and we invoice it in full when the campaign is paid. Your budget is then used up as results are verified (section 3.4). When a campaign closes, we issue one credit note for the part of its budget not used, and that amount becomes your credit under section 4.4. We issue a further credit note for any later correction, such as a sale refunded within the lock period or a result voided under section 12. The full amount is our own revenue, and what we pay clippers is our own cost under our separate contracts with them.
3.3 Clippers are our contractors. We engage clippers under our own separate contract with them, we decide what we pay them, and we pay them from our own funds. Whether and when a clipper is paid is our obligation to the clipper, not yours. Nothing in these Terms creates a contract between you and a clipper, and you never owe a clipper anything directly.
3.4 Every draw is on your ledger. When a result is verified, its price under section 5 is drawn from your budget and recorded on your ledger with a timestamp. Budgets do not earn interest for you.
3.5 We are not a bank, an e-money institution, or a payment institution, and we do not provide payment services to you or to clippers. Money moves from you to us as payment for our service, and from us to clippers as payment for theirs. We are the merchant of record for every payment you make to us. You pay by card, or by bank transfer against our invoice, into our own account, held in our company's name. Once received, your payments are our own funds, held in our own accounts like any other business receipt for our own service.
4. Campaign budgets, top-ups, and getting your money back
In plain words: pre-fund, keep it topped up, and ask for the unspent part back any time. Thirty days to return it.
4.1 Pre-funding. A campaign only accepts clippers while it has funds behind it. This is the core of the product and we will not run a campaign on credit.
4.2 Top-ups. Keeping the budget sufficient for the campaigns you have running is your responsibility. We show the runway in your cockpit and we warn you before it runs out.
4.3 Running out. If a campaign's funds are exhausted, the campaign pauses automatically. Clippers are notified immediately, and we pay clippers for results already verified. Sales made while the budget is at zero are recorded, but they are not charged to you or paid to clippers, and they are not charged retroactively after you top up. We warn you before your budget runs out. While a campaign is paused, its tracked links stop sending visitors to the brand's product, and a top-up resumes the campaign and its links. A campaign that keeps stopping and starting because it was not topped up damages your standing with clippers, and we will say so plainly to you before it does.
4.4 Unused budget as credit, and its refund. The unused part of your budget stays as your credit for your next campaigns. You can withdraw it at any time, but only to where the money came from, as set out below. Any credit left unused for 6 months, counted from the latest of the date the credit arose, the last time a campaign drew on it and the last time you paid for a campaign, we return to you ourselves on the same terms, without waiting for you to ask. We return it within 30 days of your request or, where we return it ourselves, within 30 days after those 6 months end, subject to what section 4.5 lets us withhold, and only to the original payment method: a card payment is refunded through our card acquirer against the original order, and a bank transfer is returned to the account it came from. Where the original card cannot take the refund, for example because the order is too old for a card refund, the card is closed or the order is disputed, we return the credit by bank transfer to an account held in your company's name, after checking that it is. We do not refund to any other card, account or person. A return is a payment of credit already covered by the credit note under section 3.2, so it is not given a second credit note.
4.5 We may hold back from a refund only: the price of results already verified; the price of results still inside the lock period in section 7.7 or under review; the budget needed to cover the tail of pre-closure clicks under section 10.3, until 30 days after that tail ends; amounts subject to an open dispute or an open chargeback, until it is resolved; and any amount we are required to hold by law or by a payment partner. We will itemise anything held back. An amount under an open dispute or chargeback is withheld until the dispute is resolved; the card schemes allow a dispute to be opened for up to 120 days after the payment, so this can reach beyond the 30-day refund period.
4.6 Chargebacks on your own budget payment. Disputing a budget payment with your card issuer after results have already been verified against it does not undo those results or the price you owe us for them. It creates a negative balance under section 13.
4.7 Only you pay. Only the company that accepted these Terms may fund its campaigns, and only from a card or bank account in its own name. We do not accept a third party's payment for your campaigns, your budget never funds another company's campaign, and any refund goes back only to the payer it came from.
5. What we charge
In plain words: you set one price per result and pay it to us, plus a $150 monthly subscription, which you start yourself after your free period if you want to launch new campaigns. What we pay clippers is our own cost, set separately. Everything is visible before you spend anything.
5.1 Price of a result. You set the price you pay us for a verified result. That price is the whole price of our service, and it is shown on the campaign card, on every ledger entry, and on every receipt and invoice. What we pay a clipper for a result is a separate decision we make under our own rate-setting process and our own contract with that clipper. It is not calculated as a share of your price. The price you set is the most you pay for that result.
5.2 The whole price is drawn from the budget you have already paid us at the moment the result is verified, and that part of your budget is then used and no longer available as credit. Nothing is drawn for a sale made while the campaign's budget is at zero (section 4.3). There is no separate fee on top of it and nothing netted off quietly.
5.3 A campaign cannot exceed the caps you set. If you set a maximum cost per result, we cannot spend past it. There is no mechanism in the product to overspend a cap.
5.4 Subscription. Your first 30 days are free, counted from the day your first campaign is funded, unless a written offer from us gives you a longer free period. After the free period, launching new campaigns requires an active subscription of $150 per month. The Subscription includes access to extended filters in Discover Clippers and priority support. Access to campaign funds, campaign management and execution, campaign reports, and records of campaign expenditure shall remain available independently of the Subscription and shall not be restricted, suspended, or made conditional upon maintaining an active Subscription. You start the subscription yourself on your billing page; it never starts automatically, including when your free period ends. Your monthly charge date is the date of the first successful charge. Campaigns already running keep running and keep paying out regardless of subscription status, and your campaign money, your running campaigns, your reports and the record of your spend, including your ledger and receipts, are never behind the subscription. Once you have started it, the subscription renews automatically each month on your charge date, and we email you a reminder 3 days before each charge. You can cancel in two clicks from your account or through the link in that reminder. After you cancel, your subscription runs to the end of the period already paid, and we do not refund part of a period.
5.5 Taxes. Our prices are exclusive of VAT. The price of a result and the subscription are both our supply of services to you, and we treat each separately for VAT. Where you are established in Estonia, we charge Estonian VAT at the standard rate, currently 24%, on both. Where you are established in another EU member state and have given us a VAT number validated in VIES, we invoice both without VAT under the reverse charge mechanism and you account for VAT. Where you are established in another EU member state and have not given us a VAT number validated in VIES, including while an application for one is pending, we treat you as not registered for VAT: we charge Estonian VAT at the standard rate on the price of results, and VAT at the rate of your member state on the subscription. Where you are established outside the EU and have given us proof of your business status under section 2.3, our services are outside the scope of Estonian VAT. You are responsible for any taxes in your own country.
6. Setting up a campaign
In plain words: the campaign card is your order to us. Whatever you print there is what you owe us.
6.1 You set the price you pay us per result, the caps, the platforms, your brief for the campaign rules under section 6.9, the attribution window, and any approval requirements. The result is your campaign card, which is your binding order to us. We publish our own campaign offer to clippers, on terms and at rates we set, and you are not a party to it.
6.2 A campaign must pay for something. Every campaign has one payment mode only: either a rate per verified sale, subscription or trial (CPA) within a cap or, once we make it available, a rate per thousand verified views (CPM). A campaign cannot combine the two. Campaigns that pay for nothing cannot be published.
6.3 Attribution window. The default is 30 days from the click. You may set it anywhere between 7 and 90 days. The number you choose is printed on your campaign card, in days, and we apply it to our own campaign offer to clippers. You cannot shorten it retroactively for clicks already made.
6.4 Views. We pay for views only where an official platform data source lets us verify them. Where we have no verified source for a platform, views there are not paid and are not displayed. We will not show you or a clipper a number we have not checked.
6.5 Never say guaranteed. You may not describe clipbeep, or a campaign run on clipbeep, as delivering guaranteed views, guaranteed sales, or a guaranteed return. We sell verified measurement and a cap you control, and we will ask you to correct any material that says otherwise.
6.6 Changes to a live campaign apply from the moment they are published, never backwards. Rates, caps, and windows already in force for existing posts and existing clicks stay as they were.
6.7 Review before you go live. Your account and each campaign you create are reviewed by us before any clipper can see them. We check your company or your product, your website or store listing, your campaign brief and destination page, and we screen against the sanctions lists in section 2.2. A campaign cannot be joined and no clip can be submitted against it until both your account and that campaign are approved. If we reject a campaign, any prepayment you made toward it is refunded to the original payment method. We tell you the reason either way. Your account has its own approval status, separate from any campaign, and if we reject your account, every one of your campaigns closes to clippers at the same time. An approval is not final: we may review your account or a campaign again at any time, including on a complaint, a chargeback or refund pattern, or a confirmed strike, and we review every approved account at least once every twelve months.
6.8 AI content and AI creators. Clips that use AI-assisted editing or AI-generated elements are allowed on clipbeep where they follow the social platform's own labelling rules and are declared by the clipper at submission; you do not need to configure anything for that. Separately, some clipper accounts are declared "AI creator" accounts: virtual characters or AI personas rather than a person appearing as themselves. Your campaigns are closed to AI creator accounts by default. You can open a specific campaign to them in its settings, and doing so does not relax the disclosure, labelling, or content rules above, only whether AI creator accounts can join that campaign. You remain responsible for your own campaign brief and destination page under sections 7.1 and 9.4, regardless of which clipper posts under it. An AI persona may demonstrate or explain a product but may never give a testimonial or claim personal experience. Deepfakes and impersonation of a real person are never allowed, whether declared or not, and you may not ask for them in a brief.
6.9 Campaign rules form. You give us a brief: what clippers should say and must not say about your product, formats, the platforms allowed, and any brand-specific requirements. We set the campaign rules form from your brief, and we may decline or adapt anything in it that is unlawful or inconsistent with these Terms, including section 8. The disclosure under section 9 is always required and is not yours to relax. The rules are part of the campaign card. Clippers accept the rules version we show them when they join, and a post is judged against the version in force when it was posted. You can ask us to change the rules for future posts at any time, and we decide on and make the change; posts already made are judged by the version they were posted under, and clippers confirm the new version before their next post. You remain responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the claims in your brief under section 9.4.
6.10 Rules cannot go below these Terms or the law. The rules you ask for may be stricter than these Terms, never looser. A rule that asks a clipper to omit or weaken a disclosure, to make a claim that is unlawful in the target market, or to do anything listed as fraud in section 12.1 is void. We reject such rules at review under 6.7, and we treat asking for them as a breach of these Terms.
6.11 Platforms, including "other". You choose the platforms on which clippers may post, and you may allow "other". Where a clipper posts on "other", they name the platform and give a public link, and you review the post like any other. The social platform does not change how a sale is verified: a sale counts when it runs through the clipper's tracked link into your checkout, or through the clipper's promo code (section 7.2). A sale result is verified on the date the sale has been reported to us under section 7.3 and has passed our checks under section 12. That date starts the lock period in section 7.7. Views are paid only under 6.4.
6.12 Delivery period. When you set up a campaign, you set the date and time it starts and, if you wish, the date and time it ends. A campaign never goes live before it is approved under section 6.7. Both dates, and the time zone they are set in, are printed on your campaign card and shown to you on the payment screen before you pay. You can extend a campaign at any time before it ends. A campaign with no end date runs until you or we close it under section 10. On its end date, a campaign closes exactly as if you had closed it yourself under section 10.
7. Running your campaign fairly
In plain words: the clippers we engage rely on your campaign being what it says. Honest product page, honest sales reporting, no moving the goalposts.
7.1 Honest product page. The destination URL you give us must be a real, working page for the product described in your campaign, in a language and market the campaign targets. No bait-and-switch destinations, no interstitials that break attribution, no redirect chains you did not disclose. You cannot change a live campaign's product or destination URL. A new product, URL or store listing needs a new campaign, which is reviewed afresh under section 6.7. Do not repoint a live link at a different product.
7.2 Honest promo codes. Codes you issue for a campaign must be live, must apply the discount you advertised, and must not be simultaneously distributed through channels that would take credit away from clippers.
7.3 Honest sales reporting. You will report attributed sales to us accurately and promptly through the integration or webhook we agree, and you will not suppress, delay, misclassify, or under-report a sale to reduce what your campaign owes. Deliberate under-reporting is a fundamental breach of these Terms.
7.4 No retroactive changes. You will not reduce a rate, tighten a cap, narrow an attribution window, or add a condition, and apply it to results already earned.
7.5 No closing a campaign to avoid paying. You can pause or close a campaign at any time for any commercial reason. You may not do it in order to escape accruals that have already arisen or that are about to arise from clicks already made. Doing so is a breach of these Terms, and we will pay the affected clippers regardless. The price of those results remains due from you. Where you pause or close a campaign with budget remaining, sales from clicks made before the pause or closure are still charged to you under section 10.3. This does not apply to an automatic pause because your budget ran out, which is governed by section 4.3.
7.6 Your own refunds and chargebacks. You are responsible for the quality of your product, your fulfilment, your customer service, and your own refund and chargeback rate. If your own customer genuinely refunds or charges back an attributed sale and you report it to us within the lock period in section 7.7, and give us the refund or chargeback record if we ask for it, then that result is reversed and its price is credited back to your budget under section 7.7; a pattern of refunds that looks like a way to avoid paying for results is treated under section 7.5.
7.7 Lock period. A result priced per sale becomes final 10 days after it is verified, or after a longer period of up to 14 days where we set a longer period for that campaign (the "lock period"). After the lock period ends, the result is final and its price is not credited back to you, even if your customer later obtains a refund or chargeback, unless section 12 applies because the result was not genuine. Results priced per thousand verified views are not affected by refunds and become final after a 7-day clearing period.
7.8 Top up on time. See section 4.2. Clippers plan work around your campaign, and a campaign that dies mid-week because a budget was not topped up costs them real money.
7.9 Do not ask a clipper to hide the ad. See section 9.
7.10 Do not contact clippers we engage to work with you directly instead of through us. See section 16.
7.11 Use warnings and strikes for what they are for. See 12.6 to 12.9.
8. Banned products
In plain words: some categories are off the table, with narrow exceptions for health and wellness apps and the consumer health devices sold with them and for brands that also carry adult content but promote only non-adult titles.
8.1 We do not accept, as brands or as campaign destinations: crypto-casinos, and gambling, betting, lotteries and casinos of any kind; prescription-only medicines; alcohol; crypto-assets and crypto-asset services; products or campaigns that make health claims, including food supplements, functional foods, over-the-counter medicines and medical devices (health and wellness apps, and consumer health devices sold together with an app, are dealt with in section 8.5); cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures, including injectables and other non-surgical treatments; adult content; weapons; tobacco, vapes, and nicotine products; illegal drugs and unapproved pharmaceuticals; get-rich-quick, binary options, contracts for difference (CFDs), leveraged forex and signal-selling schemes; unauthorized financial or insurance products and services, including investment, credit and lending; anything unlawful in the markets the campaign targets. A brand whose catalogue or service also includes adult content is not excluded for that reason alone, provided that: (a) the campaign promotes only titles or products that contain no adult content; (b) every tracked link leads only to pages that contain no adult content; (c) the clips contain no adult or sexualised content, use no suggestive thumbnails, use no adult hashtags or keywords, do not mention the brand's adult content and do not tell viewers where to find it, and follow the campaign rules and our content rules; and (d) we check the destination at campaign review under section 6.7. If a destination later changes so that any of these conditions is no longer met, we may pause or remove the campaign under section 10.6, and section 7.1 applies. A brand that promotes a financial or insurance product confirms that it holds the licences the product needs in each market the campaign targets, and puts the warnings and information the law requires for its promotion into its brief for the campaign rules under section 6.9. We review such campaigns under section 6.7 before they open and may refuse a market where promotion of the product through creators is restricted. Crypto-assets and crypto-asset services, contracts for difference, leveraged forex, binary options and get-rich-quick schemes remain banned whether or not the brand is licensed.
8.2 We may add categories to this list under section 19, and we may refuse or remove a campaign that falls within it, including after it goes live.
8.3 We do not accept campaigns targeting children.
8.4 Your product must comply with consumer law in the markets you target, including subscription and cancellation rules. Dark-pattern subscription flows are a ground for removal.
8.5 Health and wellness apps and devices. Health and wellness apps, and consumer health devices sold together with an app, are accepted as a normal category, and we do not approve each post in advance. A device qualifies only if it is available without a prescription and is lawfully on the market in every market the campaign targets, including any CE marking it needs there. The campaign rules for them always prohibit medical claims, meaning any claim that the app or device treats, cures or diagnoses a condition or guarantees a health outcome, and we add that prohibition under section 6.9. A post that breaks it is dealt with through warnings and strikes under sections 12.7 to 12.9. You remain responsible for the lawfulness of your product and your brief under sections 9.4 and 20.6.
9. Advertising disclosure
In plain words: every post under your campaign is advertising and has to say so. You carry that duty too, not only the clipper.
9.1 We contractually require clippers, under our own agreement with them, to disclose that a post is paid, in words, in the post itself. Both the endorser and the advertiser carry responsibility for this under the US FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255) and under EU unfair commercial practices rules.
9.2 You will not ask, incentivise, or instruct a clipper to remove, weaken, bury, or omit a disclosure, and you will not make disclosure a reason to reject a post or withhold a result. If we see it, we treat it as a breach of these Terms.
9.3 When you edit or repost a clipper's clip under the licence in section 11, you must preserve the disclosure.
9.4 You are responsible for the truthfulness of the claims in your campaign brief. If your brief tells clippers to say something about your product, that claim is yours, and you will indemnify us against claims arising from it.
10. Pausing, closing, and the kill switch
In plain words: stop whenever you want. Stopping does not take back what clippers already earned. While a campaign is paused or closed, its links stop sending visitors to your product.
10.1 You can pause or close a campaign at any time from your cockpit, without needing our agreement, and we carry out the pause or closure immediately. We may also pause or close a campaign ourselves under section 10.6.
10.2 New accruals stop immediately at closure. Clippers are notified at once by email and in-product.
10.3 Clicks made before closure still count. A sale from a pre-closure click is still payable if it lands within the campaign's attribution window and no later than 30 days from the date of the pause or closure, whichever comes first. You must leave enough budget to cover that tail, and we will hold it back from a refund under section 4.5. This section applies where you pause or close a campaign; an automatic pause because the budget ran out is governed by section 4.3.
10.4 Verified is final. The price of results already verified uses up that part of your budget, is not credited back to you, and is not recoverable by closing a campaign, by disputing the results after the fact, or by being unhappy with the outcome, except that a per-sale result can still be reversed during the lock period under sections 7.6 and 7.7. Otherwise, the only routes are section 12 (the result was not real) and section 13 (a negative balance from a reversal of your own payment or a manifest error).
10.5 Links stop while a campaign is not running. Tracked links created under your campaign redirect visitors to your designated product page only while the campaign is active. If the campaign is paused, including due to budget exhaustion, or closed, the links stop redirecting. If the campaign resumes following a budget top-up, the links automatically resume redirecting. If your designated product page becomes unavailable, you may notify us and nominate an alternative destination page.
10.6 We may pause a campaign ourselves where a budget is exhausted, a payment fails, a legal or safety issue arises, or section 8 applies, and a campaign is paused while a negative balance is outstanding (section 13.4). We tell you why, in writing, at the time. Section 10.3 does not apply to a pause under this section: as under section 4.3, a sale made while the campaign is paused is recorded but is not charged to you and not paid to a clipper, and it is not charged retroactively when the campaign resumes.
11. The licence you get to a clipper's content
In plain words: the clips you order are yours to use in your own marketing, and nobody else can license them while your rights last. Paid ads that use the clipper's handle need a separate yes, every time.
11.1 Copyright in a clip stays with the clipper, but the rights we grant you under this section 11 are exclusive, as set out in 11.2. Nothing here transfers copyright to you.
11.2 What we grant you for each campaign a clipper joins, at no extra cost, under the licence we hold from that clipper: an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use each clip accepted in your campaign for your own marketing, including to view, share and link to the post as published, and to repost, re-upload and edit the clip under 11.4. While your licence lasts, the clipper may not license the clip to anyone else, apart from the licence that the posting platform's own terms require for the clipper's post (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or another platform the campaign allows); the clipper may still keep the original post live, repost it organically on their own social accounts without paid promotion, and show it in their own portfolio or profile, and we may use it to run clipbeep and in our own showcase. You may use it on channels you own or control (your own social accounts, your website, your app, your email, internal decks).
11.3 Term: the campaign period plus 24 months after the campaign ends.
11.4 Editing: trimming, cropping to platform aspect ratios, captions and subtitles, and your own branding. You may not distort, misrepresent, or omit the substantive message of the clip, remove the clipper's watermark or handle where visible, or remove or obscure the advertising disclosure.
11.5 Not included: television, OTT, CTV, cinema, out-of-home, or any offline placement; any paid media spend; sublicensing to anyone other than your own agency acting for you and bound by these limits; using the clip after the licence expires; using the clipper's name, handle, voice, or likeness as an endorsement outside the post itself.
11.6 Paid amplification is a separate, per-campaign opt-in from the clipper. Whitelisting, Spark Ads, Partnership Ads, boosting, or any paid media use of the post or of the clipper's handle requires that clipper's explicit opt-in for that campaign. Default duration 30 days, extendable in 30-day blocks, each block a fresh opt-in, and no more than 180 days in total without a new opt-in given after that period.
11.7 Music and third-party rights. Platform music libraries usually licence trending tracks for organic use only, not for paid media. You may not run paid amplification on a post unless the clipper has confirmed, in the opt-in step, that the audio and other third-party material is cleared for paid use. Running paid spend over an unconfirmed post is your breach and your liability.
11.8 After a licence expires, the clipper's original organic post may stay live on their account. From that point you must not pin it, repost it, link to it in advertising, boost it with paid spend, or otherwise promote it.
11.9 A clipper may decline an amplification request. That is not a performance issue and you may not penalise them for it.
12. Verification, fraud, and voided results
In plain words: we hunt fraud for you, against a published list, and a fake result never becomes a real charge to you.
12.1 We publish, as a list, what counts as fraud: bots and view inflation, click farms, self-purchases and purchases by household members, VPN and geo-spoofing, incentivised traffic, cookie stuffing and forced clicks, duplicate posting, connecting or posting from a social account the clipper does not own or control, posting a video that closely duplicates another clipper's submission to the same campaign, trademark bidding and impersonation, false identity data, and repeated disclosure breaches. We publish that list rather than reserving a discretion, so that you know what we screen for and clippers know what they are accused of.
12.2 A voided result is not charged to you. Where a result is found not to be genuine, the accrual is voided, whether or not we have already paid the clipper, and the full price of that result is credited back to your budget. Where we have already paid the clipper, we fund that credit from our own money.
12.3 Reporting suspected fraud. Tell us through your cockpit or at hello@clipbeep.com, with the evidence you have. We open a review, and we may place a hold of up to 30 days, extendable once to 90 days only where the outcome depends on a third party we do not control (a card issuer, an acquirer, our payout partner, or a law enforcement or tax authority request), in which case we tell the clipper in writing, before the first 30 days end, which third party we are waiting for. The clipper gets a written statement of the reason, as they are entitled to. We do not freeze a clipper on an unevidenced accusation, and we will tell you when we decline to. Independently of any report, we may also open a review where sales attributed to a clipper show a refund or chargeback rate above 1% over a rolling 90-day period, measured on at least 20 attributed sales. A review is not a finding. No result is voided for fraud, no strike is confirmed and no account is restricted on an automated signal alone.
12.4 We flag brands too. Under-reporting sales, retroactive changes, and closing campaigns to dodge accruals are treated with the same seriousness as clipper-side fraud, and are grounds for suspension under section 18.
12.5 Payment rail holds. Our card acquirer and payout partner may apply rolling reserves and holds to our accounts. Where such a hold affects the timing of a refund of your budget, we will tell you it is a payment partner hold and what we know about it. We cannot override it.
12.6 You review the content yourself. Every post submitted to your campaign is visible in your cockpit with its public link. You may review it for quality and for compliance with your campaign rules at any time. We do not approve individual posts before they go live. Where a campaign's brief requires it, for example in a pilot under a signed letter of intent, you check each video against the brief through clipbeep before it is published. That check covers only whether the video meets the brief, not how the clipper made it. We tell the clipper the outcome in our own name, with your reasons, and if the clipper disputes it, we decide. You set the campaign rules (what clippers must and must not show and say) and choose how clippers are admitted: open to any eligible clipper; automatically, by admission filters you set on what clippers declare in their profile (for example the platforms and channels they post on, or the countries of their audience); or manually, by accepting or declining each application in the app, judging applicants only against your campaign rules and those filters. Either way we make and communicate the decision in our own name, we follow your choice unless it is based on a reason unrelated to your brief, is discriminatory, or would breach these Terms or the law, and we may overrule it. A clipper declined automatically sees which filter they did not meet and can ask for a review by a person. Our decision is the one recorded and communicated to the clipper.
12.7 Warnings. You can ask us to send a clipper a warning about a post, saying what you need changed and why. In the app your warning reaches the clipper at once, without a separate decision by us on each warning. Warning requests are free, unlimited and logged. A warning is not a penalty and does not touch the clipper's accruals.
12.8 Strike requests. Where a post breaks your campaign rules, the campaign card, or the disclosure rules in section 9, you can file a strike request against that post, naming the rule and attaching evidence, within 7 days of the post's submission. We notify the clipper, who has 72 hours to fix the post or reply. We then confirm or reject the strike and tell you why. A confirmed strike voids the accruals attached to that post, credits their full price back to your budget under 12.2, and removes the post from your campaign. A rejected request changes nothing. We reject a request where the problem came from your own materials or brief, or from a rules change made at your request after the post. A strike never touches the clipper's other posts. The credit to you applies whether or not we have already paid the clipper; where we have, it comes from our own funds and we do not recover money already paid out from the clipper. Where the post has already earned, a strike voids those accruals only for a material breach (a prohibited or unlawful claim, a disclosure the clipper refused to fix, content your rules expressly forbade); for anything less, the outcome is a warning and the accruals stand.
12.9 What a strike is not. You may not request a strike for a disclosure the clipper made (section 9.2), for content your rules allowed when it was posted, or to avoid paying for a result that was genuinely earned (section 7.5). Where at least half of your strike requests are rejected, once you have filed at least 4, we withdraw the strike tool from your account and route further requests through our own review only. Where one clipper has three confirmed strikes within 12 months, a person at clipbeep, not an automated process, decides whether to end that clipper's account under our agreement with that clipper; that decision and that process are ours, not yours.
13. Refunds, chargebacks, and a negative budget balance
In plain words: if your budget goes negative, you top it up. You are a business, and interest applies.
13.1 A refund or chargeback on a sale whose price has already been drawn from your budget is handled under sections 7.6 and 7.7 and does not create a negative balance. A reversal or chargeback of a budget payment, or a manifest error in your favour, creates a negative balance on your account.
13.2 You will restore a negative balance within 14 days of our written notice. .
13.3 Statutory late payment interest under Estonian law applies to a negative balance that is not restored on time, from the due date.
13.4 Campaigns are paused while a negative balance is outstanding.
13.5 Where the negative balance arose from our own error, none of this applies and we fix it at our cost.
13.6 Our payments to clippers do not depend on yours. We pay clippers for verified results from our own funds, whether or not you pay us. If a payment from you fails or is reversed, or a negative balance is not restored, after we have paid a clipper, the loss is ours. We recover it from you under this section, and we do not recover it from the clipper.
14. The ledger, and disagreeing with a number
In plain words: our records are the record. Thirty days to challenge an entry, ten business days for us to answer.
14.1 The ledger of record. Our records (clicks, post links, sales, accruals, prices of results, subscription charges, payouts) are the record of what happened between us, and they prevail unless there is a manifest error, meaning a demonstrable mistake such as a duplicate entry, a missing webhook, a wrong rate, or a rounding or currency fault. We correct manifest errors in both directions, including against ourselves.
14.2 Raise a dispute within 30 calendar days of the entry appearing in your ledger, from your cockpit or at hello@clipbeep.com, identifying the entry and the reason. After 30 days the entry is treated as accepted.
14.3 We answer in writing within 10 business days, with the reason and the data relied on. We may extend to 45 business days where the answer depends on a card issuer, an acquirer, a payout partner, or your own payment processor, and we will tell you before the first 10 days are up.
14.4 Our answer is our position. It does not prevent you from going to court.
14.5 Limitation. Any claim arising out of these Terms must be brought within one year of the date the claim arose.
14.6 All amounts are recorded in whole US cents.
15. Public campaign pages
In plain words: we show your brand and offer on public campaign pages. Your money stays private.
15.1 You agree that we may show your brand name, logo and campaign offer we make to clippers (at a rate we set ), while the campaign runs and for as long as its tracked links redirect under section 10.5. We do not publish your budget, spend or the price you pay us; your ledger is private to your account under section 14. If we ever introduce a public ledger, it will come in a new version of these Terms with notice under section 19.
16. Working around clipbeep
In plain words: if a clipper worked on your campaign through us, do not hire them directly for 12 months.
16.1 For 12 months from the date a clipper joins one of your campaigns, you agree not to engage that clipper, directly or through any company in your group or any agency acting for you, for paid clipping work of the kind clipbeep provides, outside clipbeep.
16.2 We impose a corresponding obligation on clippers under our separate agreement with them.
16.3 It does not apply where you had a documented relationship with that clipper before they joined your campaign, where the work is of a kind clipbeep does not offer, or where we have given written consent, which we will not unreasonably refuse.
16.4 If it is breached, the party who broke it owes clipbeep compensation equal to $10,000 for each clipper engaged in breach. This is an agreed estimate of our loss.
17. Data protection between us
In plain words: clipper data is ours. You see only what you need to review the work, and you cannot take it out of clipbeep.
17.1 clipbeep is the controller of the personal data it processes to run clipbeep, including clipper account data and click and sale records. Our Privacy Policy describes that processing.
17.2 Clipper data is view-only. For campaigns you buy from us, your cockpit shows only what you need to review the work: the clipper's public handle, the clips and post links submitted to your campaign, any showcase videos, the performance of those posts, and our warning and strike decisions on them. You never receive a clipper's legal name, contact details, identity or tax data, payout details or earnings, or connected-account data beyond the public metrics of posts in your campaign. You see this data as a recipient. You are not a controller or joint controller of our processing of clipper data, and you give us no instructions about it.
17.3 You will use what you see of clipper data only to review the work on the campaign it came from. You will not export, download, scrape or copy it out of clipbeep; use it to contact clippers outside clipbeep, to profile them, or to keep your own records about them; or sell it, add it to a marketing list, use it to train a model, or combine it with other sources; and where you republish or edit a clip on your own channels under the licence in section 11, that use is your own responsibility as an independent controller, and you comply with the GDPR in your own right. You may invite clippers to your campaigns and message them through clipbeep's in-app messaging; all contact with clippers stays inside clipbeep.
17.4 Where you send us personal data of your own customers (for example in sale postbacks), you confirm you have a lawful basis to do so and that your own privacy notice covers it. Send us only what attribution needs: the order reference, value, currency and time, and the tracked link or promo code, not your customers' names or contact details. We use that data as an independent controller to verify results, pay clippers and keep the ledger, and our Privacy Policy covers it.
17.5 If either of us suffers a personal data breach affecting the other's data, we tell the other without undue delay and cooperate on notification.
18. Restriction, suspension, and termination
In plain words: we can stop your campaigns, but we have to tell you why in writing, and you can appeal.
18.1 You can leave any time. Close your account from your cockpit. We settle the price of verified results, close the tail under section 10.3, and return the unspent balance without a separate request under section 4.4.
18.2 We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your account or a campaign where you breach these Terms, where section 8 applies, where you have an unrestored negative balance, where a payment partner or the law requires it, or where we are compelled by a court or authority. Where we terminate your account, we settle the price of verified results, close the tail under section 10.3, and return the unspent balance without a request from you, only to the original payment method under section 4.4 and less what section 4.5 lets us hold back.
18.3 Statement of reasons. Whenever we restrict, suspend, or terminate, we give you a written statement of the specific reasons, on a durable medium, at the time the decision takes effect, naming the facts and the clause relied on. Where we restrict or suspend, we give it at the latest when the decision takes effect; where we terminate, we give it at least 30 days before, unless the law, a payment partner requirement, a repeated breach, or a fraud finding means we cannot.
18.4 Complaints. Reply to the statement of reasons, or write to hello@clipbeep.com. We handle complaints about our decisions internally, free of charge, and answer within 10 business days with reasons. If that does not resolve it, we are willing to attempt mediation in good faith with a mediator we agree on.
18.5 We sell our own service to you as principal and do not consider these Terms to be an online intermediation service. We are running the process in 18.4 as our own commitment, because it is the right way to behave.
18.6 Reporting illegal content. This is our notice-and-action channel under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065). It is free of charge, and anyone, with or without a clipbeep account, can tell us about content on clipbeep they believe is illegal, including campaign briefs, destination links, and clips or posts submitted to campaigns. Reports go through the electronic reporting form at clipbeep.com/report, which is linked from every page of clipbeep and can be used without logging in, or to hello@clipbeep.com. A report should include: an explanation of why the content is illegal; the exact URL or other location of the content; the name and email address of the person reporting, which is not needed for reports of child sexual abuse material; and a statement that the person believes in good faith that the report is accurate and complete. We confirm receipt without undue delay. We review each report diligently, objectively and in a timely way, and tell the person who reported it what we decided and how they can challenge the decision. Where we use automated tools to process or decide on a report, we say so. If someone frequently submits reports that are manifestly unfounded, we may, after a warning, suspend processing of their reports for a reasonable period.
18.7 If we remove or restrict your content or account because of a report under 18.6, you receive a statement of reasons under 18.3 and can complain under 18.4. A report about illegal content is separate from a warning request under 12.7 or a strike request under 12.8, which deal with breaches of your campaign rules.
18.8 Points of contact. hello@clipbeep.com is our single point of contact for users and for the authorities of EU member states, the European Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. We communicate with users in English, and with authorities in English and in Estonian. Where we become aware of information that gives rise to a suspicion that a criminal offence involving a threat to a person's life or safety has taken place, is taking place or is likely to take place, we promptly inform the relevant law enforcement or judicial authorities.
19. Changes to these Terms
In plain words: 15 days' notice before anything changes.
19.1 We give at least 15 days' notice by email and in-product before a change takes effect. Where a change is required by law or is needed to address a security or fraud risk, it can take effect sooner and we will say why.
19.2 Continued use after the notice period counts as acceptance. If you do not accept, close your account before the change takes effect and section 18.1 applies on the old terms.
19.3 Changes never apply retroactively to accruals, rates, or attribution windows already in force.
20. Liability
In plain words: we are liable, with a cap. The cap does not cover deliberate or grossly negligent conduct on our side.
20.1 We provide clipbeep with reasonable skill and care. We do not warrant any commercial result, any level of clipper participation, uninterrupted service, or the continued availability of any third-party platform API.
20.2 We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of clippers beyond enforcing these Terms and our own agreements with clippers, for a social platform removing a post, or for a payment partner's holds and decisions.
20.3 Cap. Our total liability to you for all claims arising in any 12-month period is capped at the greater of (a) the total amounts you paid us for results and subscriptions in the 12 months before the event, and (b) $500. A claim to have your unused budget refunded under section 4.4 is not limited by this section.
20.4 The cap does not apply to liability for intentional breach, gross negligence, death or personal injury, or anything that cannot be limited under mandatory law.
20.5 Neither party is liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, or goodwill, except where the exclusion is not permitted by law.
20.6 Indemnity. You will indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your product, your campaign brief and the claims it instructs clippers to make, your destination page, your own breach of section 8 or section 9, and your use of clipper content outside the licence in section 11.
21. Law and courts
In plain words: Estonian law, Estonian courts.
21.1 These Terms are governed by the law of Estonia.
21.2 Disputes go to Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) in Tallinn, Estonia.
21.3 There is no arbitration clause and no waiver of collective redress in these Terms.
22. The rest
22.1 Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these Terms without our written consent. We may assign to a successor of our business on notice.
22.2 Confidentiality. Each side keeps the other's non-public commercial information confidential and uses it only for this relationship.
22.3 Severability. If a clause is invalid, the rest stands and the invalid clause is read down to the closest lawful meaning.
22.4 No waiver. Not enforcing something once does not mean giving it up.
22.5 Entire agreement. These Terms, your campaign cards, any one-page special terms, order form or insertion order we sign with you, and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement. If they conflict, signed special terms, order forms and insertion orders prevail for what they cover, then these Terms, then your campaign cards. Your purchase order terms do not apply.
22.6 Force majeure. Neither side is liable for delay caused by events outside its reasonable control. This never excuses a failure to refund an unused budget.
22.7 Language. These Terms are written in English and the English version governs.
22.8 Notices. We write to the email addresses on your account. You write to hello@clipbeep.com.
