Terms & Conditions

1. Who we are

Clipiy ("Clipiy", "we", "us") is a clipping marketplace operated as Clipiy by tindi at clipiy.com. You can reach us at supportclipiy@gmail.com, on +44 7848 864962 (United Kingdom) or +254 797 517178 (Kenya).

2. Accepting these terms

You accept these terms when you create a Clipiy account, sign in with Google, fund a campaign, or submit a clip. If you do not agree, do not use Clipiy. We may update these terms; the "Last updated" date above shows when they last changed, and continuing to use Clipiy after a change means you accept the updated terms.

3. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account, fund a campaign or receive payouts.
• You must give accurate information and keep your login details secure. You are responsible for activity on your account.
• Each person may hold one clipper account. Creating accounts to get around limits, reviews or suspensions is not allowed.

4. Campaigns for creators and brands

• Funding. A campaign is listed only after its full budget is paid through Paystack and verified by Clipiy. The minimum payment is KES 400 and the minimum reward is KES 200 per 1,000 verified views. You may add funds to a live campaign at any time.
• Platform fee. Clipiy charges a platform fee of 10% on top of every campaign budget, including top-ups: a KES 1,000 budget costs KES 1,100, and the full KES 1,000 is available to clippers. The platform fee is not refundable.
• Your materials. You confirm you own, or have permission to license, every source video, logo and brand asset you add to a campaign, and you allow clippers to edit and publish clips of that material on the platforms your campaign allows.
• Reviewing clips. You have 48 hours to approve, reject or request changes to each submitted clip. If you do not respond in that time, Clipiy approves the clip for you and starts tracking its views.
• Budget use. A campaign stays open until its budget is committed to earnings or you pause it. Rates and the per-clip cap cannot be lowered once clippers are working to them.
• Unspent budget. Budget that has not been reserved for or paid to clippers may be refunded on request to support, less any payment processing fees charged to Clipiy.

5. Clipping and earning for clippers

• Follow the brief. Post only on the platforms a campaign allows, use the required captions, hashtags and disclosures, and promote any account the campaign names.
• Qualifying. A clip earns once it reaches 1,000 verified views, and then for each further complete block of 1,000 verified views, up to the campaign's per-clip cap and the campaign's remaining budget.
• Verified views. Views are measured from platform data, including the YouTube Data API and third-party providers that read public view counts. Clipiy's measurement is final for payment purposes, subject to section 7.
• Your content. You confirm the clip is your own edit made under the campaign brief, and that you have the right to post it from the account you submit.

6. Payouts

• Earnings are held for 48 hours after they are verified so the campaign owner can raise a dispute. After that they become ready to collect.
• You can withdraw any amount from KES 500 up to your available balance to the Safaricom M-Pesa number saved on your account.
• Clipiy keeps 10% of every withdrawal as its platform fee, and Paystack's M-Pesa transfer fee is deducted too (KES 20 to send up to KES 1,500, KES 40 up to KES 20,000, KES 60 above): withdraw KES 500 and you receive KES 430.
• You can also withdraw to a PayPal account, paid in US dollars at the day's exchange rate. Clipiy keeps the same 10%, and PayPal's payout fee (2%, at most USD 20) is deducted from the withdrawal.
• Campaigns can be paid with M-Pesa or card through Paystack, or with PayPal in US dollars. PayPal's processing fee is added to a PayPal payment and paid by the campaign creator.
• Payouts are sent through Paystack. If a payout fails or is reversed, Clipiy support completes it for you by hand; you do not need to collect it again.
• You are responsible for any taxes that apply to your earnings.

7. Fraud, fake views and disputes

Buying views, using bots, view farms, automated engagement, or reposting someone else's clip is prohibited. Clipiy may withhold, reverse or cancel earnings linked to suspected artificial activity, and may suspend the accounts involved. A campaign owner may dispute an earning during its 48-hour hold; Clipiy reviews disputes and its decision is final.

8. Prohibited content and conduct

Do not use Clipiy for content that is illegal, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, deceptive, or that infringes anyone's intellectual property or privacy. Do not misrepresent a paid promotion as unpaid. Clipiy may remove campaigns or clips and close accounts that break these rules.

9. Privacy

We collect your email address, your full legal name as it appears on your ID, your phone number and, for clippers, your M-Pesa number, along with the campaigns, clips and view data needed to run the service and pay you. Your legal name, phone number and M-Pesa number are never shown to other users. We use Firebase, Paystack and Resend to operate Clipiy and share data with them only to provide the service. You can delete your account from the Account & profile page, or ask us for a copy of your data by emailing supportclipiy@gmail.com.

10. Third-party platforms

Clips are published on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other platforms under those platforms' own terms. Clipiy is not affiliated with or endorsed by them and is not responsible for their decisions, including removing content or changing how views are counted.

11. Liability

Clipiy is provided as available. To the extent the law allows, Clipiy is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or platform outages, and our total liability to you is limited to the amounts you paid to, or earned through, Clipiy in the three months before the claim.

12. Ending your use of Clipiy

You may stop using Clipiy at any time and delete your account from the Account & profile page, once any earnings are collected and any funded campaigns are deleted. When a creator deletes a funded campaign, earnings clippers have already made stay with them and the unspent budget is refunded to the creator. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Settled earnings not linked to a breach remain payable after an account is closed.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, and the courts of Kenya have jurisdiction over any dispute, without limiting any rights you have under the consumer laws of the country where you live.
