Terms of Service

These terms (“Terms”) govern your use of wiskr, an AI-assisted video editing service operated by 1Cut Media (“we”, “us”, “our”) and accessible at usewiskr.com. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

1. The Service

wiskr lets you upload talking-head video files and automatically edit them — primarily by removing silence, false starts, and other dead space. The Service runs on a combination of audio-analysis software (FFmpeg, librosa) and, for some features, AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic). You receive an edited video file and, optionally, an editor-project file you can open in another tool.

2. Eligibility & Accounts

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you’re between 13 and 18, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.
• You must provide accurate information when signing up and keep your account credentials secure.
• You’re responsible for all activity on your account.
• Authentication is provided by Clerk; if you lose access, follow Clerk’s standard recovery flow.

3. Your Content

You retain all rights to the videos you upload (“Your Content”). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, process, transcode, transcribe, and analyze Your Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you. We don’t use Your Content to train AI models. We don’t share Your Content with anyone except the third-party processors listed in our Privacy Policy, and only as needed to run the Service.

You confirm that you own or have the right to use Your Content and that uploading it doesn’t violate anyone else’s rights.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload content you don’t have the rights to (copyrighted material, other people’s likeness without consent, etc.)
• Upload illegal, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or sexually explicit content involving minors
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or break the Service (denial-of-service, scraping, abusing rate limits, exploiting bugs)
• Reverse-engineer the Service or extract its source code outside of what’s already public
• Use the Service to build a competing product
• Resell access to the Service without our written permission

We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules. We may also remove content that we reasonably believe is illegal or violates these Terms.

5. Plans, Billing & Refunds

Some features are free; others require a paid plan. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal; your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period.

We don’t offer pro-rated refunds for partial months. If we materially reduce features in a paid plan, you can email us within 30 days for a refund of the unused portion.

6. Service Availability

We aim for high uptime but don’t guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service may be unavailable for maintenance, updates, or causes outside our control (network outages, third-party provider failures, etc.). We’re not liable for losses caused by downtime.

7. AI Output Disclaimer

Some features use AI to suggest edits, transcribe audio, or interpret natural-language instructions. AI output can be imperfect — wrong timestamps, misheard words, hallucinated suggestions. You’re responsible for reviewing the output before publishing or distributing it. We’re not liable for AI mistakes that make it into your final video.

8. Termination

You can delete your account at any time by contacting noah@1cutmedia.com. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, abuse the Service, or stop paying for a paid plan. On termination, we’ll delete your videos and account data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) $50 USD. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost data.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify us against any third-party claim arising from (a) Your Content, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. If changes are material, we’ll notify you (e.g., via email or an in-app notice) at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that can’t be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and agree not to participate in class actions.
