Terms of Service

Last updated: October 28, 2026

The short version. You own what you make, and you are responsible for it. Only upload photos, videos and voices you have the right to use, and never use a real person's likeness without their permission. No sexual content, no deepfakes meant to deceive, nothing involving minors. Credits pay for generations, have no cash value and reset each billing period. Refunds follow Section 5: a first payment is refundable within 14 days if unused. This summary is for convenience only; the full terms below govern.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and ClipIdea AI ("ClipIdea," "we," "us") covering clipideaai.com, Wandcast, Persona Studio, Script to Video, the Wandcast API and MCP server, and every related feature (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, buying a plan, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms (including the refund rules in Section 5) and our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a company, you agree on its behalf and confirm you are authorized to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. The Service

ClipIdea is a set of AI tools for making short-form video:

  • Wandcast generates video with third-party AI video models: Copy Motion (apply the motion of a reference clip to your own character, outfit, location or product), Swap (change one element of a clip) and Create (text or image to video, including one-tap effects).
  • Persona Studio creates original, fictional AI characters ("Personas") as photos, and can animate them into video.
  • Script to Video writes scripts, generates voiceovers and music, and renders videos.
  • API and MCP access lets you or an AI agent you authorize use Wandcast and Persona Studio with an API key.
  • Optional publishing to your own social accounts and to the public ClipIdea showcase.

Generation is performed by third-party AI model providers that we reach through OpenRouter and other vendors. Models are added, changed, priced differently or retired by those providers, and we may change which models we offer at any time. Features marked beta, preview or "in development" may change or be removed.

3. Accounts and Eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher).
  • Provide accurate information and keep your sign-in method and API keys secure.
  • You are responsible for everything done through your account and your API keys, including generations started by AI agents or apps you connect. Revoke a key at once if you think it has leaked.
  • One person per account. Do not share, sell or transfer accounts, or create accounts to get around limits or a suspension.
  • Tell us promptly at support@clipideaai.com about any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Plans, Credits and Payment

4.1 Payments through Lemon Squeezy

Paid plans are sold through Lemon Squeezy, our reseller and merchant of record. Lemon Squeezy processes your payment, collects applicable sales tax or VAT, and issues refunds. When you buy, you also agree to the Lemon Squeezy Buyer Terms. Your billing details are handled by Lemon Squeezy; we do not store your card number.

4.2 Subscriptions

  • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel.
  • You can cancel at any time from Manage Billing. Cancellation stops the next renewal; you keep paid access until the end of the period you already paid for.
  • We will give at least 30 days' notice of a price change, which applies from your next renewal.
  • Plan limits, daily caps and the features included in each plan are listed on our pricing page and in the app, and may change with notice.

4.3 Credits

  • Wandcast and Persona Studio generations are paid for with credits. One credit is priced at about one US cent of estimated model cost. The app shows an estimate and reserves it before you generate; when the output finishes, the charge is adjusted to the provider's actual cost, which can be slightly higher or lower than the estimate.
  • If a generation fails, times out or is refused by the model, the credits it reserved are returned to your balance automatically.
  • Plan credits are granted per billing period and reset at the start of the next period. Unused credits do not roll over, and they end when your subscription ends.
  • Credits are a license to use the Service, not money, property or a stored-value product. They have no cash value, cannot be sold, transferred or exchanged for cash, and are not refundable except as stated in Section 5 or required by law.
  • Daily limits, per-batch limits and a site-wide daily capacity limit apply to protect the Service. We may pause generation when capacity is reached.
  • Credits granted for free, as promotions or as goodwill may expire and have no refund value.

5. Refunds and Cancellation

5.1 Why credits are mostly non-refundable

Every Wandcast video and Persona Studio image is generated by a third-party AI model that charges us as soon as it runs. That cost cannot be recovered once a generation is made, so credits that have been spent cannot be refunded. The Free plan includes credits so you can try the Service before paying.

5.2 When you can get a refund

  • First subscription payment, unused. If you ask within 14 days of your first payment and you have not spent any of the paid plan's credits or used its paid-only features (such as exports without branding, premium voices or AI music), we will refund the payment in full.
  • Forgotten renewal, unused. If a renewal charges you and you ask within 7 days of the renewal, before using any of the new period's credits or paid features, we will refund that renewal and cancel the subscription. This is offered once per account.
  • Duplicate or mistaken charges. If you were charged twice or charged in error, we refund the extra charge.
  • Our failure. If a serious problem on our side kept you from using the paid plan for a significant part of a billing period, and we could not fix it after you told us, we will refund the affected part of that period.
  • We discontinue a paid feature or close your account without cause. If we remove a core paid feature you subscribed for, or end your account when you have not broken these Terms, we refund the unused part of your current billing period.

5.3 Failed generations

You do not need to ask for these. When a generation fails, times out, is cancelled, or is refused by the model, the credits it reserved are returned to your balance automatically. If a finished generation used fewer credits than estimated, the difference is returned too. If you think credits were taken for a generation that failed, email us with the date and we will check and restore them. Restorations are made as credits, not cash.

5.4 What is not refundable

  • Subscription renewals, except as described in 5.2.
  • Credits that have been spent, including on Outputs you did not like. AI results vary, and we cannot guarantee a particular look or result.
  • Unused credits at the end of a billing period or after cancellation; credits reset and do not roll over.
  • Partial billing periods after you cancel. You keep paid access until the period ends.
  • Accounts suspended or terminated for breaking these Terms, including our content rules.
  • Free, promotional or goodwill credits.

We may refuse refunds where we see abuse, such as repeated buy-use-refund cycles or multiple accounts.

5.5 Cancelling

You can cancel at any time from Manage Billing (linked in the site footer) or by emailing us. Cancelling stops future renewals. You keep your plan and remaining credits until the end of the period you already paid for, then your account moves to the Free plan. Cancelling does not by itself refund the current period.

5.6 Customers in the EU, EEA and UK

You have a legal right to withdraw from a purchase of digital services within 14 days. When you start using a paid plan during that period (for example, by generating with paid credits), you ask us to begin the service right away. In that case you lose the right of withdrawal for digital content that has been fully supplied, and for a service you withdraw from after it has begun you pay for what was provided before you withdrew. If you have not used the plan, 5.2 already gives you a full refund within 14 days.

5.7 How to ask for a refund

Email support@clipideaai.com from the email on your account with your Lemon Squeezy order number (it is in your receipt email) and a short reason. We reply within 3 business days. Approved refunds are issued through Lemon Squeezy and usually reach your account within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank. Lemon Squeezy may also review or issue refunds under its own Buyer Terms.

Please contact us before opening a chargeback or payment dispute. We can usually fix a billing problem faster, and we may pause the account while a dispute is open.

Nothing in this section limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded by contract. If those laws give you a longer period or a broader refund right, they apply. Changes to these refund rules apply to payments made after the change; the version in effect when you paid applies to that payment.

6. Your Content

6.1 Inputs and outputs

"Inputs" are everything you provide: prompts, scripts, photos, videos, audio, reference images and any other uploads. "Outputs" are the videos, images, audio, scripts and Personas the Service generates for you. Inputs and Outputs together are "Your Content."

6.2 Ownership

As between you and ClipIdea, you keep all rights you have in your Inputs, and we assign to you any rights we have in your Outputs. Free-plan exports include ClipIdea branding, which you must not remove. Please note:

  • AI-generated material may not be protected by copyright in some countries, so you may not be able to stop others from using similar material.
  • AI models can produce the same or similar Outputs for other users. Outputs made for someone else are not yours.
  • Third-party model providers set their own terms for output use; where those terms restrict a use, the restriction also applies to you.

6.3 License to us

You give ClipIdea a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, transmit and display Your Content only as needed to run, secure and improve the Service, which includes sending Inputs to the AI model providers that generate your Outputs, screening content for safety and enforcing these Terms. We do not use Your Content to train AI models. We will only feature Your Content in our marketing with your permission. Content you publish to the public ClipIdea showcase is visible to anyone until you remove it.

6.4 Your promises about Inputs

For every Input you upload or reference, you confirm that:

  • you own it or have all rights, licenses and permissions needed to use it with the Service, including to have it modified by AI;
  • you have the consent of every identifiable person shown in it, or whose voice is in it, to use their likeness or voice this way;
  • it does not show anyone under 18 in any context involving a Persona, a face or body change, or a motion copy; and
  • using it does not break any law, contract or platform rule.

6.5 Storage

We store your Outputs so you can view and download them, but the Service is not a backup or archive. Download anything you want to keep. We may delete Outputs after your account is closed, after a reasonable inactivity period, or as described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Likeness, Personas and Remakes

7.1 Real people

You may only use a real person's face, body, voice or other identifying features, including your own, in a Copy Motion, Swap, Create or Persona generation if that person is an adult and has given you permission. You must not use the Service to:

  • impersonate anyone or make it look like a real person said or did something they did not;
  • create fake endorsements, testimonials or reviews from real people or brands;
  • create intimate, nude or sexual images or video of any real person, with or without their consent;
  • harass, bully, defame or threaten anyone, or target a private individual; or
  • mislead people about elections, public officials, news events, emergencies or public health.

Some models refuse inputs that show a real person; the app marks them, and when a model refuses, your credits are returned.

7.2 Personas are fictional

Personas are AI-generated characters. Any resemblance to a real person is unintended. You must not present a Persona as a real human being in a way that deceives people, for example to solicit money, run romance or investment scams, or fake reviews. When you post AI-generated or AI-altered content, follow the disclosure rules of the platform you post on and of the law where you operate, including labeling AI-generated realistic content and disclosing paid endorsements or sponsorships.

7.3 Remaking other people's videos

Copy Motion and Swap take a reference clip you upload. Uploading a clip does not give you any rights in it. You are responsible for having permission from the owner of any reference clip, music, character, logo or brand that appears in your Inputs or Outputs, or for your use being lawful (for example, fair use where it applies). Do not use the Service to repost or pass off someone else's work as your own.

8. Acceptable Use

You must not use the Service to create, upload or share content that:

  • is sexually explicit or pornographic, or shows nudity or sexual acts (we do not offer NSFW generation);
  • sexualizes, exploits or endangers minors in any way. We report apparent child sexual abuse material to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement;
  • is non-consensual intimate imagery or a sexual deepfake of anyone;
  • infringes copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy or other rights;
  • promotes violence, terrorism, self-harm, or hatred against people based on protected characteristics;
  • is fraudulent or deceptive, including scams, phishing, fake documents and fake identification; or
  • is otherwise illegal where you or your audience are.

You must also not:

  • try to get around our safety filters, moderation, rate limits, credit metering or plan limits;
  • reverse engineer, scrape, overload or disrupt the Service, or probe it for vulnerabilities without permission;
  • resell access to the Service or your API keys, or build a competing service with it, without our written agreement; or
  • use the Service in violation of the usage policies of the underlying AI model providers.

We screen prompts and uploads automatically, and models apply their own filters. We may refuse a request, block or delete content, limit features, or suspend or close an account that breaks these rules. Serious or repeated violations lead to permanent termination without refund. Automated filters are not perfect; you remain responsible for what you make.

9. Copyright and Content Complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or misuses your likeness, email support@clipideaai.com with: your contact details; the work or likeness at issue; the URL or other location of the content; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We will review the notice, remove or disable content where appropriate, and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third parties, including AI model providers, Lemon Squeezy for payments, and social platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Instagram if you choose to publish. Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. Publishing to YouTube uses YouTube API Services, and by publishing to YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. We are not responsible for third-party services, their availability or how they treat content you send them.

11. ClipIdea's Property

The Service, including its software, design, model selection, presets, effects, names and logos, belongs to ClipIdea and its licensors. These Terms give you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the Service as offered. If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.

12. Suspension and Termination

You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you break these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us or others, fail to pay, or if we are required to by law or by a payment or model provider. When we can, we will tell you why. After termination, your right to use the Service and any remaining credits end, and we may delete Your Content. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 17) survive termination. If we discontinue a paid feature or close your account without you having broken these Terms, you can request a refund as described in Section 5.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. In particular:

  • AI output is unpredictable. We do not promise that an Output will match your prompt or reference, look realistic, be accurate, be unique, or be free of errors, artifacts or third-party rights.
  • We do not guarantee that a model, preset or feature will stay available, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free.
  • We do not promise any result from publishing, including views, followers, engagement or income.
  • Review every Output before you use or publish it.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ClipIdea and its owners, staff and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill or audience, arising from or related to the Service or these Terms. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless ClipIdea and its owners, staff and suppliers from any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your use of Outputs, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms or of law, or your infringement of anyone else's rights, including rights of publicity and privacy.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. For material changes we will notify you by email or in the app before they take effect. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

Please contact us first at support@clipideaai.com so we can try to resolve any issue informally. These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which ClipIdea AI is established, without regard to conflict of law rules, and disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless the consumer law of the country where you live gives you the right to bring proceedings there or to the protection of its mandatory rules.

18. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and ClipIdea about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
