Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and ViDrip, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Vidrip," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Vidrip mobile application, the website at vidrip.app, and all related features, content, and services (collectively, the "Service").

You accept these Terms by checking the "I agree" box (or taking an equivalent affirmative action) when you create your account, and by accessing or using the Service. Your acceptance also confirms agreement to our Privacy Policy (available at vidrip.app/privacy), which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service.

The Service is currently offered on an invite-only basis. Features may change or be withdrawn at any time.

You consent to receive communications and disclosures from us electronically — in-app, by email, or by other electronic means — and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. You may withdraw this consent by closing your account, though doing so means you can no longer use the Service.

You may use the Service only if you:

• are at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, if higher);
• have not been previously suspended or removed from the Service;
• are not barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction; and
• hold a valid, unused invite code (see Section 5).

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn we have collected personal information from a person under the minimum age, we will delete the account and associated data. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact [email protected].

Because the Service includes camera, microphone, and on-device facial-geometry features (Section 12), you confirm that you understand and consent to those features as a condition of use.

To use the Service you must create an account with a unique @handle and display name and authenticate through one of our supported methods (email one-time code, email and password, and optional authenticator-app multi-factor authentication).

You agree to: (a) provide accurate information; (b) keep your credentials confidential; (c) enable and maintain multi-factor authentication where offered; and (d) promptly notify us at [email protected] of any unauthorized use. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You may hold only one account unless we expressly permit otherwise, and you may not transfer, sell, or share your account or @handle.

Access requires a valid invite code, which we or existing users may issue. Invite codes are a limited, personal, revocable privilege — not property. You may not sell, auction, or otherwise commercialize invite codes. We may invalidate any code, limit how many are available, or change the invite system at any time. Each code may be used once and is recorded against the account that consumes it.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the Vidrip app on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use (except for creator monetization permitted under Section 11).

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of the Service;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
• access the Service through automated means (bots, scrapers, crawlers) or scrape, harvest, or index any content or data;
• circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, rate-limiting, moderation, paywalls, signed URLs, or access controls;
• bypass the invite-only access model or create accounts by unauthorized means;
• redistribute, repost, or publish outside the Service any reaction, clip, comment, or other content created by another user, including content you are able to download within the Service;
• interfere with the operation of the Service or impose an unreasonable load on our infrastructure; or
• remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices.

The app may deliver over-the-air updates to its software, and you consent to receiving them as part of your use of the Service.

7.1 What "Your Content" means

"Your Content" means anything you create, record, upload, or submit through the Service, including reaction videos, video comments, channel clips and posts, reviews, personal intros and afterthoughts, profile information (display name, bio, location, avatar), and emoji reactions. Facial-landmark/mesh geometry ("lens-track" data) is not "Your Content" for purposes of the license in Section 7.3; it is governed exclusively by Section 12 and our Privacy Policy.

7.2 You own Your Content

As between you and Vidrip, you retain ownership of Your Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership to us.

7.3 License you grant to us

You grant Vidrip a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, transcode, reformat, adapt (for technical purposes such as compression, thumbnailing, and AR replay), distribute, publicly perform, and display Your Content solely to operate, provide, secure, moderate, and improve the Service and to make Your Content available to the audiences you choose (your friends, channel members, thread participants, viewers of a source video, or awardees, as applicable). This license does not extend to lens-track geometry (Section 12).

This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except: (a) for content others have re-shared or that remains in threads, channels, or collections you posted to, which may persist for those audiences; (b) for residual copies in backups or as required by law for a limited period; and (c) for awarded collections, which are immutable and cannot be revoked once granted (Section 11).

7.4 Your responsibilities and representations

You represent and warrant that: (a) you own or have all rights necessary to submit Your Content and grant the license above; (b) Your Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; (c) you have obtained the consent of every identifiable person appearing or heard in Your Content; and (d) Your Content complies with these Terms and applicable law. You are solely responsible for all material captured in your recordings, including any music, video, broadcast, or other third-party content audible or visible in the background, whether captured intentionally or incidentally.

7.5 Feedback

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free license to use it without obligation to you.

The core of the Service is recording your own reaction video on your device's front camera while a third-party source video plays. Your reaction is a separate recording that you create and own; the source video is not part of it. Vidrip does not splice, merge, burn-in, or store the YouTube or TikTok source video — those play live through the source platform's official embedded player and stream from the source platform's servers.

You are responsible for the source content you choose to react to or reference. You agree that:

• you will only react to or reference source content you have the right to use this way, and in compliance with the terms of service and policies of the source platform (including the YouTube Terms of Service, the TikTok Terms of Service, and the Instagram Terms of Use);
• your reaction will be your own original recording and will not reproduce or redistribute the underlying source video as a stored file;
• you will not use the Service to infringe copyright or other rights, to evade a platform's access controls, or to download or re-host content you do not have the right to use; and
• source content is controlled by the source platform and its rights-holders, may change or become unavailable at any time, and Vidrip has no control over and no responsibility for it.

We embed source platforms through their official players and APIs and do not warrant that any particular source video is available, lawful for your intended use, or appropriate.

To minimize the storage of third-party audio captured in the background of a recording, the Service applies a two-tier rule based on whether headphones or earbuds were connected when you recorded.

Recorded with headphones (durable). When headphones are detected, the microphone captures your voice without the source soundtrack. These reactions may be stored for the long term and shared to any surface you choose — private friend-shares, channels, video comments, or your profile (where you have enabled that).

Recorded without headphones (ephemeral, private only). When headphones are not detected, source audio may be captured in the recording. These reactions:

• may be shared only as a private friend-to-friend message within a thread — they cannot be posted to channels, attached as video comments, or shown on a profile; and
• are not stored for the long term. They are deleted from the Service after they have been viewed by the intended recipient(s), and in any event are deleted within 48 hours if not viewed.

You acknowledge that ephemeral reactions are intended to disappear, that recipients may nonetheless capture or record them by means outside our control (for example, a screenshot or a second device), and that we therefore cannot guarantee a clip is unrecoverable once viewed.

The Service includes channels (public, members-only, and private direct-message channels) with owner, admin, and member roles. Channel owners and admins may invite, mute, kick, ban, promote, or demote members and may hide, pin, schedule, or mark posts exclusive, subject to these Terms.

If you operate a channel, you are responsible for the content and conduct in it and for moderating it consistent with these Terms. We may remove content, restrict, or close any channel and may override channel-level moderation decisions at our discretion. Channel roles and tools do not make you our employee, agent, or partner.

11.1 Subscriptions

Creators may offer paid subscription tiers that gate channel posts, reactions, and reviews. Subscription checkout is processed on the web (at vidrip.app) through our payment processor, Stripe.

11.2 Automatic renewal and cancellation

Paid subscriptions renew automatically. When you subscribe, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the then-current tier price plus applicable processing and platform fees, at the stated interval, until you cancel. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then. You can manage or cancel from your account or by contacting [email protected]. We (or the creator) will provide renewal and cancellation information as required by applicable automatic-renewal laws, including California's Automatic Renewal Law.

11.3 Fees, pricing, and refunds

The price shown to you includes the creator's tier price plus payment-processing fees (approximately 2.9% + $0.30) and a platform fee (approximately 1%). We may change fees and pricing prospectively. Except where required by law or offered at the creator's discretion, payments are non-refundable. You are responsible for any taxes not collected by us.

11.4 Creators and payouts

Creators receive payouts through Stripe Connect and must complete Stripe's onboarding and identity verification. Creators are independent and are solely responsible for: the content and lawfulness of what they sell; honoring their tier descriptions; their own taxes and any required licenses; and responding to subscriber inquiries, refund requests, and chargebacks. Vidrip facilitates payments and access but is not the creator and does not guarantee any creator's content, conduct, or earnings. Your payments are also subject to the Stripe Services Agreement and Stripe Connected Account Agreement.

11.5 Exclusive collections, awards, and gifts

Creators may group content into collections that are tier-gated or directly awarded ("gifted") to specific users. Awards are immutable and cannot be revoked once granted, have no cash value, and are not redeemable, transferable, or refundable. A collection containing granted awards cannot be deleted. Access to gated or awarded content may end if the Service, the channel, or the underlying content is discontinued.

11.6 Chargebacks and abuse

Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute instead of using our or the creator's cancellation/refund process, or abusing subscriptions, gifts, or trials, may result in suspension or termination.

The Service offers AR "lens" effects and an "anonymous" reaction mode that rely on face tracking performed on your device. While a lens or anonymous mode is active, the app computes facial-landmark and mesh geometry (point coordinates and expression signals used to position visual overlays) using on-device processing. To replay your chosen effect deterministically, this geometric lens-track data is downsampled, quantized, and stored alongside your reaction.

Important clarifications, described further in our Privacy Policy:

• This geometry is used only to position visual overlays and render the anonymous silhouette. It is not used to create a facial-recognition template and is not used to identify or authenticate you or anyone else.
• Face tracking runs on your device; raw camera frames used for tracking are processed locally.
• You can choose not to use AR lenses or anonymous mode, in which case this geometry is not captured.

By enabling AR lenses or anonymous mode, you consent to the on-device capture and storage of lens-track geometry as described. Where applicable law treats facial geometry as biometric or special-category data (for example, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, or the EU/UK GDPR), this Section and our Privacy Policy describe the limited purposes, the absence of identification use, and our retention practices.

You are solely responsible for what you record and for the rights and privacy of anyone captured in your recordings. You agree to obtain any consent required by the law of your jurisdiction before recording, sharing, or publishing audio or video of other people. You acknowledge that when you record without headphones, source or background audio may be captured in your recording, and you accept full responsibility for that content (see Sections 7.4 and 9). Do not record in any location or manner that violates the law or others' reasonable expectations of privacy.

You agree not to use the Service to create, upload, share, or facilitate content or conduct that:

• is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or fraudulent;
• sexually exploits or endangers minors in any way (we have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material — we will remove it, terminate the account, preserve relevant data, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement as required by law);
• harasses, bullies, threatens, or incites violence against others;
• promotes hate or discrimination, terrorism, or self-harm;
• is non-consensual intimate imagery, doxxing, or impersonation;
• contains malware, or attempts to hack, phish, or spam; or
• violates a source platform's terms or any third party's rights.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts for violations. We do not pre-screen or review all content, and we are not responsible for User Content. Reporting and blocking tools are provided within the Service. We may publish supplemental community guidelines from time to time, which form part of these Terms when published.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

15.1 Notices of claimed infringement

To submit a notice, send a written communication to our Designated Agent that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

15.2 Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice containing the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may create liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

15.3 Repeat-infringer policy

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We maintain a record of infringement notices associated with an account, and an account that accumulates repeated, substantiated infringement notices may be suspended or terminated. We may also terminate an account for a single severe or willful infringement.

The Service, including the Vidrip name and logo, the app software, designs, text, graphics, and all related intellectual property, is owned by Vidrip or its licensors and is protected by law. Except for the limited license in Section 6, we grant you no rights in our intellectual property. You may not use our marks without our prior written permission.

The Service interoperates with third-party services, including source platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook), Stripe, push-notification providers (Apple, Google/Firebase), content-delivery and infrastructure providers, and content-moderation providers. Your use of those services is governed by their terms, and we are not responsible for them. We may add, change, or discontinue integrations at any time.

If you connect an external account (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook), you represent and warrant that you own or are authorized to control that account and all content accessed through it. You authorize Vidrip to access, through the relevant platform's official API and the read-only scopes you grant, your own profile information and your own video/Reel list, to populate your channel or personalize your feed.

For Instagram and Facebook, because those platforms use expiring signed media URLs and provide no stable Reel embed player, you authorize Vidrip to download and re-host your own Reels and thumbnails to our storage so they play in the Service. This applies only to your own content from an account you have connected. Vidrip does not scrape, download, or re-host the content of anyone who has not connected their own account.

You may disconnect a connected account at any time, which revokes our ongoing access. You remain responsible for complying with each platform's developer and API terms, for holding all rights in the content you make available, and for any content you publish to a channel.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or the law, if your use creates risk or liability for us or others, or if we discontinue the Service.

On termination, your license to use the Service ends and we may delete or disable access to Your Content, subject to Sections 7.3 and 20. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 7, 11.5, 15, 16, and 20–28) survive termination.

You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data, and (where required by law) an export of your personal data, through the in-app account settings, by visiting vidrip.app/delete, or by contacting [email protected]. We will process verified requests within the time required by applicable law. Certain data may persist where legally required, in backups for a limited period, or where necessary to retain a record (for example, immutable awards, transaction records, and moderation audit logs).

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available, or that User Content or third-party source content is accurate, lawful for your use, or appropriate. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIDRIP AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) US $100.

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Vidrip and its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) any music, video, or other third-party material captured in your recordings, intentionally or incidentally; (c) your use of the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms or the law; (e) your violation of any third party's rights, including source-platform terms and the rights of people in your recordings; and (f) for creators, your connected accounts, channel content, and dealings with subscribers. This indemnity does not require you to cover liability arising from our own fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.

Please read this Section carefully — it affects your legal rights.

24.1 Informal resolution

Before starting an arbitration, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to resolve the dispute informally.

24.2 Binding arbitration

Except as stated below, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. For claims under US $25,000, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone or video at your election; otherwise it will take place in Sacramento County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. Each party's responsibility for arbitration fees is governed by the AAA's rules, including its consumer fee provisions.

24.3 Delegation

The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Section, except that a court — not an arbitrator — decides whether the class-action waiver in 24.4 is enforceable.

24.4 Class-action waiver

You and Vidrip agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any class proceeding.

24.5 Coordinated or mass filings

If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are submitted by or with the coordination of the same or coordinated counsel, the demands will be administered under the AAA's Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules, including their staged-filing and process-arbitrator provisions, to manage cost and efficiency for both parties.

24.6 Severability of class-action waiver

If the class-action waiver in 24.4 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court (not in class arbitration), while all other claims remain in arbitration.

24.7 Small-claims and IP carve-outs

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual-property rights.

24.8 30-day opt-out

You may opt out by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, @handle, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

24.9 EEA/UK and other carve-outs

If you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where a pre-dispute arbitration agreement or class-action waiver is unenforceable, this Section does not apply to the extent prohibited, and disputes will be handled under Section 25 and your local mandatory consumer-protection rights.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 24, the state and federal courts located in Sacramento County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes not subject to arbitration, and you consent to that jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in the EEA or UK, you retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

If you download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, the following apply in addition to these Terms.

Apple. These Terms are between you and Vidrip only, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any purchase price paid for the app (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app. Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the app, including product-liability, regulatory, or intellectual-property claims, or for addressing your claims relating to the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed or "terrorist-supporting" country and are not on a U.S. prohibited-parties list. Direct any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the app to ViDrip, LLC at the address in Section 30.

Google. Your use of the app obtained from Google Play is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app or its content.

The Service is operated from the United States. If you use it from elsewhere, you are responsible for compliance with local law. You agree to comply with all applicable export-control and sanctions laws and not to use the Service where prohibited.

Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by in-app notice or email) before they take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you in-app or by email; you may send notices to us at the address below.
• Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, or employment relationship.
