1. The rule
You may only upload video you own or have permission to use. ClipSpark exists to cut your own long-form content into short clips; it is not a way to re-cut someone else's work and publish it as your own.
We do not pre-screen uploads — nobody watches your video except the AI analysis described in our Privacy Policy. We do act on reports, and this page is how one is made.
2. Reporting infringement
If you own the rights to material that has been uploaded or shared through the Service without your permission, send us a notice through the contact form or by email to noreply@clipspark.online with the subject line Copyright notice.
Include all of the following, or we will have to come back and ask:
- Identification of the work you own — a link to the original, or enough detail to identify it.
- Identification of the infringing material, and where you saw it. If it was a ClipSpark share link, send us the full URL: that is the only thing that reliably identifies a specific clip on our side.
- Your name, and your postal address and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the rights holder or are authorised to act for them.
- Your signature — typed is fine.
A notice missing item 2 is the most common reason a report stalls. "Somewhere on your site" is not something we can act on.
3. What we do with a notice
We aim to acknowledge a complete notice within two business days. Where the notice is valid on its face we will disable access to the material — typically by revoking the share link and removing the clip — and notify the account holder, passing on your notice including your contact details so they can respond to you directly.
We do not judge who owns what. We act on notices, we pass on counter-notices, and where the two sides disagree the dispute is between them.
4. Counter-notice
If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, or that your use was authorised or permitted by law, send us a counter-notice containing:
- Identification of the material that was removed, and where it was.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury where that applies to you, that you believe in good faith it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, postal address, email address, and signature.
- Your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of [JURISDICTION NOT CONFIGURED], or of the place you live if you are outside it, for the purposes of this dispute.
We will pass a valid counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us they have started legal proceedings, we may restore the material after 10 business days.
5. Repeat infringement
Accounts that attract repeated valid notices are terminated. We do not publish a strike count, because a fixed number invites people to plan around it; in practice a second valid notice is a warning and a third ends the account. Credits are not refunded when an account is closed for this reason — see the Refund Policy.
6. False notices
A notice that knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing can make you liable for the costs and damages it causes, including our costs and the account holder's. We keep a record of notices we receive and who sent them.
7. Our own content
The ClipSpark AI name, the site design, and the software behind it belong to [LEGAL NAME NOT CONFIGURED]. You may not copy or reuse them beyond what the Terms of Service allow. Your video and the clips cut from it remain yours; see section 3 of the Terms.
