These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Gameplay Shorts (“Gameplay Shorts,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including our websites, applications, AI-powered video analysis, clipping tools, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account, purchasing a product or subscription, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, purchase products or subscriptions, or use Gameplay Shorts.
By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organization or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.
2. The Gameplay Shorts Service
Gameplay Shorts provides tools designed to help gaming creators analyze stream content, identify potentially interesting moments, create clips, and generate vertical video content.
Features may include:
- analysis of Twitch VODs;
- AI-assisted identification and scoring of potential highlights;
- generation of descriptions, classifications, timestamps, and other analysis results;
- selection and editing of highlight segments;
- vertical video layouts and cropping tools; and
- generation of downloadable Shorts.
Features may change, be added, removed, limited, or updated as the Service develops.
Gameplay Shorts is an assistive editing and analysis tool. We do not guarantee that any particular VOD will contain a highlight or that the Service will identify every interesting moment.
3. Accounts
Some features require a Gameplay Shorts account.
You are responsible for:
- providing accurate information where requested;
- maintaining control of your account;
- keeping your authentication credentials secure;
- all activity performed through your account; and
- notifying us if you reasonably believe your account has been compromised.
You may not sell, transfer, rent, or provide unauthorized access to your account.
We may take reasonable steps to protect accounts and the Service from fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access.
4. Content You Process
You retain any rights you already hold in content that you submit, select, or process using Gameplay Shorts.
Gameplay Shorts does not acquire ownership of the underlying Twitch VOD, stream, video, audio, or other content merely because it is processed through the Service.
By using Gameplay Shorts with any content, you represent and warrant that you:
- own the content; or
- have the rights, permissions, licenses, or other legal authority necessary to access and process the content using the Service.
You grant Gameplay Shorts and our service providers a limited, non-exclusive right to access, transmit, process, transform, and temporarily handle the content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the Service.
You are responsible for determining whether your use of particular content, including downloading, editing, publishing, or distributing a generated Short, complies with applicable law, copyright rules, platform terms, licenses, and third-party rights.
Gameplay Shorts does not grant you rights to third-party content that you do not otherwise possess.
5. Twitch and Third-Party Services
Gameplay Shorts may interact with or process content made available through third-party services such as Twitch.
Gameplay Shorts is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Twitch unless expressly stated otherwise.
Your use of Twitch and other third-party services remains subject to their respective terms, policies, restrictions, and availability.
Third-party services may modify or discontinue APIs, content access, technical functionality, or other features. Such changes may affect Gameplay Shorts functionality.
We are not responsible for the operation, availability, content, policies, or independent actions of third-party services.
6. AI-Powered Analysis
Gameplay Shorts uses artificial intelligence, including third-party AI services such as Google Gemini, to analyze content and identify potentially relevant moments.
AI-generated results may include:
- highlight candidates;
- scores and classifications;
- timestamps;
- descriptions;
- suggested titles;
- detected events; and
- other generated analysis.
Probabilistic System Notice
AI systems are probabilistic and may produce inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, or unexpected results.
We do not guarantee:
- that a VOD contains suitable highlights;
- that every suitable highlight will be detected;
- that a detected highlight will be entertaining, viral, commercially successful, or appropriate for a particular audience;
- that scores or classifications will accurately reflect human judgment; or
- that AI-generated descriptions or other information will always be correct.
You are responsible for reviewing generated results before relying on, publishing, or distributing them.
7. Processing Hours and Credits
Gameplay Shorts measures certain usage through processing hours or similar usage allowances (“Processing Hours”).
The amount of Processing Hours required for an analysis may depend on the duration of the content and the feature or analysis mode selected.
Free Allowance
Eligible new accounts may receive a one-time free allowance of 2 Processing Hours.
The free allowance is not a recurring monthly entitlement and has no cash value.
We may apply reasonable measures to prevent abuse of free allowances, including attempts to obtain multiple free allowances through multiple accounts.
Purchased Processing Hour Packs
Gameplay Shorts may offer one-time purchases of Processing Hour packs.
Unless otherwise clearly stated at the time of purchase:
- purchased Processing Hours do not expire;
- they remain associated with the account that purchased them;
- they are not transferable between accounts;
- they have no cash value outside the Service; and
- they may only be used for eligible Gameplay Shorts functionality.
Purchased Processing Hours are not bank deposits, stored monetary value, or currency.
Failed Processing
If an analysis fails due to a technical failure before a usable analysis result is successfully produced, Processing Hours charged for that failed analysis will not be consumed or will be restored to your account.
Successfully Completed Analysis
Once an analysis successfully produces its intended analysis result, the associated Processing Hours are considered used.
Processing Hours are not automatically restored merely because:
- few or no suitable highlights were identified;
- you disagree with the AI's scores or selections;
- the identified moments do not meet your subjective expectations; or
- you decide not to generate or download a Short.
This reflects the fact that the computational analysis service has been successfully performed even where the source VOD does not contain suitable highlight material.
8. Premium Subscription
Gameplay Shorts may offer a recurring Premium subscription.
The features, price, included Processing Hours, and other benefits displayed at the time of purchase form part of your subscription.
At the current offering, Premium includes 8 Processing Hours per billing cycle and access to eligible Premium functionality such as Deep Analysis.
Monthly Processing Allowance
Processing Hours included with Premium are a recurring subscription allowance.
Unused Premium Processing Hours:
- do not roll over to the next billing cycle;
- reset when the next billing cycle begins; and
- do not become permanent purchased Processing Hours.
Where technically applicable, Gameplay Shorts uses available Premium Processing Hours before separately purchased Processing Hours.
Separately purchased Processing Hour packs remain subject to the rules in Section 7 and are not lost merely because a Premium billing cycle renews or a Premium subscription ends.
9. Subscription Renewal and Cancellation
Premium is a recurring subscription and will automatically renew at the applicable subscription price and billing interval until canceled, unless otherwise stated at checkout.
You may cancel your subscription using the subscription management options provided through Paddle or other cancellation functionality made available through the Service.
Cancellation stops future renewal charges but normally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. You may continue to access applicable Premium benefits until the end of that period unless otherwise required by law or specified during cancellation.
Canceling Premium does not automatically refund payments already made.
When Premium ends:
- future Premium allowances will no longer be granted;
- unused Premium Processing Hours may cease to be available at the end of the applicable subscription period; and
- separately purchased Processing Hours remain on the account subject to these Terms.
10. Payments and Merchant of Record
Paid transactions for Gameplay Shorts are processed by Paddle, which acts as the Merchant of Record for purchases made through Paddle checkout.
When you purchase a Gameplay Shorts subscription or one-time VOD Hour Pack through Paddle, the payment transaction is between you and Paddle and is subject to Paddle's applicable buyer terms and policies.
As Merchant of Record, Paddle handles payment processing and may handle billing-related customer service inquiries, refunds, returns, and the calculation, collection, and remittance of applicable sales taxes.
Gameplay Shorts does not directly receive or store your full payment card details.
Prices, currencies, applicable taxes, billing intervals, and the total amount payable are presented during checkout before you complete your purchase.
Your purchase and billing details may be shared between Paddle and Gameplay Shorts as necessary to fulfill orders, activate entitlements, manage subscriptions, maintain account balances, prevent fraud, provide customer support, and comply with applicable legal and tax obligations.
11. Refunds
Refund requests are subject to our Refund Policy, Paddle's applicable buyer terms and policies, and any mandatory rights available under applicable consumer law.
Nothing in these Terms limits any refund, cancellation, withdrawal, or other consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.
Our Refund Policy forms part of these Terms and will be available through the Gameplay Shorts website.
12. Acceptable Use
You may use Gameplay Shorts only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You must not use the Service to:
- process content that you have no legal right or authorization to use;
- infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights of another person;
- distribute unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious content;
- circumvent or attempt to circumvent restrictions imposed by Gameplay Shorts, Twitch, Paddle, or other service providers;
- abuse free allowances, Processing Hours, subscriptions, or promotional offers;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, networks, APIs, or data;
- reverse engineer or attempt to extract non-public source code, models, prompts, systems, or proprietary technology except where such restriction is prohibited by law;
- use automated means to overload, scrape, probe, or attack the Service;
- introduce malware or other harmful code;
- use the Service in connection with fraud or other illegal activity; or
- use Gameplay Shorts in a way that could reasonably damage the Service or prevent others from using it.
We may investigate suspected abuse and take reasonable action to protect the Service and our users.
13. Gameplay Shorts Intellectual Property
Except for user-provided content and third-party materials, Gameplay Shorts and its associated software, interfaces, designs, branding, logos, text, graphics, technology, and other proprietary materials are owned by or licensed to Gameplay Shorts and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Service for its intended purposes.
These Terms do not transfer ownership of Gameplay Shorts technology or intellectual property to you.
14. Generated Results
Subject to rights in the underlying source content and applicable third-party rights, Gameplay Shorts does not claim ownership merely because a Short, timestamp, description, title suggestion, or other result was generated for you through the Service.
You remain responsible for determining whether you have sufficient rights to use, publish, monetize, or distribute generated results.
Because generated results may incorporate, derive from, or relate to third-party content, use of the Service does not guarantee that a generated result is free from third-party rights or restrictions.
15. Availability and Changes to the Service
We aim to provide a reliable Service, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability.
The Service may occasionally be unavailable because of:
- maintenance;
- software updates;
- infrastructure failures;
- third-party service outages;
- Twitch availability or changes;
- AI provider availability or limits;
- security incidents; or
- circumstances outside our reasonable control.
We may modify, update, suspend, discontinue, or replace features where reasonably necessary to operate or develop the Service.
Where a material change affects an active paid subscription, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice where appropriate or required by law.
16. Account Suspension and Termination
You may stop using Gameplay Shorts at any time.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Service where reasonably necessary, including where:
- you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms;
- your use creates a security, legal, fraud, or abuse risk;
- you infringe or are reasonably alleged to infringe third-party rights;
- payment-related abuse or fraud is detected;
- we are required to do so by law; or
- continued access could materially harm Gameplay Shorts, our service providers, or other users.
Where reasonable and legally permitted, we may provide notice or an opportunity to address a violation before termination.
Termination does not eliminate obligations or liabilities that arose before termination.
Any treatment of unused paid entitlements following termination will be subject to applicable law, the reason for termination, these Terms, and our Refund Policy.
17. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not warrant that:
- the Service will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
- AI analysis will be accurate or complete;
- any particular highlight will be identified;
- generated Shorts will achieve any particular audience, engagement, revenue, or performance result;
- third-party services will remain available or unchanged; or
- every defect or error will be corrected.
Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or consumer protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Gameplay Shorts will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, business opportunities, goodwill, or data arising from or related to use of the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:
- the amount you paid for Gameplay Shorts during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
- USD $100.
These limitations do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including where applicable consumer law provides otherwise.
19. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold Gameplay Shorts harmless from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from:
- content you process through the Service;
- your infringement of another person's intellectual property or other rights;
- your unlawful use of the Service; or
- your material violation of these Terms.
This section does not require you to indemnify Gameplay Shorts for claims caused by our own unlawful conduct or where such an obligation is prohibited by applicable law.
20. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and share personal information in connection with Gameplay Shorts.
By using the Service, you acknowledge that personal information will be handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
21. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to:
- the Service;
- our business or pricing model;
- applicable laws or regulations;
- third-party services; or
- security and operational requirements.
When we update these Terms, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
For material changes, we may provide additional notice where appropriate or required by law.
Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those Terms where permitted by applicable law.
If applicable law requires affirmative consent to a particular change, we will request it.
22. Governing Terms and Consumer Rights
These Terms are subject to applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive you of mandatory consumer protections or other rights that apply to you under the laws of your country of residence and cannot legally be waived.
Purchases processed by Paddle are additionally subject to Paddle's applicable buyer terms and payment-related policies.
If a provision of these Terms conflicts with a mandatory legal requirement, that requirement will apply to the extent of the conflict.
23. Severability and No Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect to the extent permitted by law.
Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.
