Terms of Service

Bluclip runs short-form clipping campaigns. Clients (creators, podcasters, athletes, brands and projects) give us their long-form content and a brief. Independent creators ("Clippers") cut that content into short clips and publish them on their own TikTok, Instagram and YouTube accounts. Bluclip reviews the clips, measures their performance through the platforms' official APIs, reports results to the client, and pays Clippers according to the campaign terms.

Bluclip also offers training content and coaching about clipping. Purchases of training or agency services may be subject to a separate order form or agreement, which prevails over these Terms where they conflict.

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract.
• One Bluclip account per person. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for all activity on your account.
• The information you give us (name, email, payout details, the social accounts you connect) must be accurate and yours.

To take part in campaigns, Clippers connect their TikTok, Instagram and/or YouTube accounts to Bluclip through each platform's official login (OAuth). Access is read-only: Bluclip reads your basic profile information and the list and statistics of your videos so we can confirm that the clips you submit were published by you and count their views, likes, comments and shares. Bluclip never posts, comments, messages or changes anything on your accounts, and never sees your platform passwords.

YouTube.Bluclip uses YouTube API Services. By connecting a YouTube channel or otherwise using Bluclip's YouTube features, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service at www.youtube.com/t/terms. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

TikTok and Instagram.Your use of TikTok remains subject to the TikTok Terms of Service, and your use of Instagram to the Instagram Terms of Use and Meta's policies. You must comply with those terms and with each platform's Community Guidelines for every clip you publish.

Disconnecting. You can disconnect a linked account at any time from www.bluclip.fr/agency/connect, by emailing contact@bluclip.fr, or from the platform itself (TikTok: Settings and privacy › Security › Apps and services; Instagram: Settings › Apps and websites; Google: security.google.com/settings/security/permissions). Once an account is disconnected we stop collecting its data and delete it as described in our Privacy Policy. Clips published from a disconnected account can no longer be tracked and may stop earning.

Bluclip is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or sponsored by TikTok, ByteDance, Instagram, Meta, YouTube or Google. Their names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners.

When you publish clips for a Bluclip campaign, you agree to:

• Publish only on accounts you own or control and have connected to Bluclip.
• Follow the campaign brief (source material, topics to avoid, required tags or links, posting window).
• Clearly disclose paid promotion where the law or the platform requires it, including by turning on the platform's paid-partnership or branded-content label (TikTok "Content Disclosure", Instagram "Paid partnership", YouTube "Includes paid promotion").
• Only use music, footage and other material you are allowed to use. Use platform-licensed sounds where the campaign does not provide audio.
• Not publish clips that are misleading, defamatory, hateful, sexual, or that misrepresent the client, and not impersonate the client or Bluclip.
• Keep the clip public and unedited for the duration stated in the campaign.

Bluclip and the client may review every clip and reject any clip that does not meet the brief or these Terms. Rejected clips do not earn. You may appeal a rejection once by email within 7 days; a human reviews every appeal.

• Source of truth. Payouts are calculated on the metrics returned by the official API of the platform where the clip is published (for example TikTok view_count, Instagram views, YouTube viewCount), as recorded by Bluclip at the settlement time stated in the campaign. Numbers shown in a platform's own app may differ at any given moment.
• Rates and limits. Each campaign states its rate (for example per 1,000 eligible views), any minimum views per clip, any cap per clip or per Clipper, and the campaign budget. When the budget is spent, clips stop earning.
• Review period.Earnings are pending until the end of the review period stated in the campaign (by default 7 days after the clip's earning window closes). Pending earnings can be adjusted for invalid views. Once settled, payouts are final except in case of fraud.
• Payment. Settled earnings are paid to the payout method in your account. You are responsible for your own taxes and social contributions; we may ask for tax or identity information before paying.
• No guarantee. Bluclip does not guarantee any number of campaigns, views or earnings. Results depend on your work and can be zero.

Bluclip pays creators for making and publishing content. It never pays anyone for watching, liking, commenting, sharing or subscribing. The following are forbidden:

• Buying views, likes, followers or any other engagement, or using bots, scripts, emulators or click farms.
• View-exchange schemes, engagement pods, or offering your audience any reward, giveaway or payment for watching, liking, sharing or subscribing.
• Reposting someone else's clip as your own, or submitting a clip that was not published from your connected account.
• Any other attempt to inflate metrics artificially or to mislead Bluclip, a client or a platform.

Views that a platform removes or flags as invalid are excluded from payouts. If we detect manipulation, we may withhold pending earnings, remove you from campaigns and permanently ban you and your connected social accounts. Final adverse decisions are made by a person and can be appealed once.

The client keeps all rights in its source content. You keep the rights you have in your own edits. By submitting a clip to a campaign, you grant Bluclip and the client a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, share and use that clip, and your public handle as its author, to report on and promote the campaign. You may not use the client's source content outside the campaign.

Bluclip displays clips and their statistics as provided by the platforms and does not alter, watermark or re-host your videos without your permission.

Clients who order a campaign agree to a separate order form setting out the budget, fees and deliverables. Clients receive reports with the clips published for their campaign and those clips' public statistics. Clients must own or control the rights to the source content they give us.

You can stop using Bluclip and delete your account at any time (see Data Deletion). We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, a platform's terms or the law. Settled earnings not affected by a breach remain payable.

Bluclip is provided "as is". We depend on third-party platforms and their APIs, which may change, limit or stop access at any time; we are not responsible for their outages, metric changes or decisions. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amounts we paid or owe you in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version on this page with a new effective date and, for material changes, notify account holders by email. Ongoing campaigns keep the rules they started under.

These Terms are governed by French law. Any dispute will be brought before the competent courts of Paris, France, unless mandatory consumer protection rules give you the right to bring it before the courts where you live.

Questions about these Terms: contact@bluclip.fr, or by mail to Emile Imbert, 40 rue Boissonade, 75014 Paris, France.
