Terms of Service

Effective date: 26 June 2026  ·  Last updated: 26 June 2026

⚠ Draft — not yet legally reviewed

This is a working draft of Clippar's terms. It has not been reviewed or approved by a lawyer and must be checked against applicable consumer and contract law (including the Australian Consumer Law) and Apple's App Store requirements before launch. Do not rely on it as a final, legally vetted agreement.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Clippar (“Clippar”, “we”, “us”), an independent developer based in Australia, and govern your access to and use of the Clippar iOS app and the website at clippargolf.com (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country) to use Clippar. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account, and you agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You may sign in with email and password, “Sign in with Google”, or “Sign in with Apple”. Notify us at clippargolf@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.

2. The Service

Clippar records your golf shots and uses automated processing to detect, trim, and assemble them into highlight reels. Features rely on device permissions you grant — including camera, microphone, and precise location — and on third-party providers described in our Privacy Policy. Automated detection, trimming, and reel assembly are provided on a best-effort basis and may not be perfectly accurate. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features over time.

3. Your content & licence

You retain ownership of the videos, audio, photos, and other content you create or upload (“Your Content”). You grant Clippar a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, transcode, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you — for example, to upload and store your clips, generate your highlight reels, and play them back. This licence is limited to running the Service and ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained transiently in backups or where retention is required by law.

You are responsible for Your Content and confirm that you have the rights to record, upload, and share it, including any necessary rights or permissions of other people who appear in it. If you create a public share link, you are choosing to make that reel viewable by anyone who has the link until you remove it.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We may remove content or suspend access that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms.

5. Subscriptions & billing

Clippar offers a “Clippar Pro” subscription. Subscriptions purchased in the iOS app are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system and managed via our subscriptions provider, RevenueCat. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for the renewal at the then-current price. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

Prices and what's included are shown in the app before you purchase and may change with notice for future periods. Any free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends. Deleting your Clippar account does not cancel an Apple subscription — you must cancel it in your Apple settings. Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable; refunds for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under its terms.

6. Physical products

We may sell physical kit and merchandise, with payments processed by Stripe. By placing an order you authorise the charge and agree to provide accurate shipping and contact details. Availability, pricing, shipping times, and returns for physical goods are described at the point of sale and are subject to applicable consumer law, including the Australian Consumer Law. Card details are entered into Stripe and are not stored by us.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Supabase (backend and storage), Apple and Google (sign-in), Apple and RevenueCat (subscriptions), Stripe (merchandise payments), Sentry (crash diagnostics), and GolfCourseAPI (course search). Your use of features powered by these providers may also be subject to their terms, and what they receive is described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and the Clippar name and logo, is owned by Clippar and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks, or to copy, modify, distribute, or resell the Service, except as expressly permitted here.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, that footage will always upload or process successfully, or that automated shot detection or reel assembly will be accurate. You are responsible for keeping your own copies of important footage. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law; where our liability for failing to meet such a guarantee cannot be excluded, it is limited (at our option) to re-supplying the service or paying the cost of re-supply, to the extent permitted.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clippar will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, content, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service. To the extent our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our total aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) AUD $50.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Clippar harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from Your Content, your breach of these Terms, or your misuse of the Service, except to the extent caused by us.

12. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete Account in the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required to protect the Service or other users, or to comply with the law. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including content licences for transient backup copies, intellectual-property terms, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity — survive.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app or on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws in your place of residence.
