Terms of Service

Effective October 24, 2026. Last updated October 24, 2026.

These terms are an agreement between you and Royalty Media LLC, which operates Shardcut. By using Shardcut you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy.

YouTube

Shardcut uses YouTube API Services. By using Shardcut, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke Shardcut's access to your Google account at Google security settings.

The service

Shardcut cuts long videos you upload into short clips and posts the clips you approve to the platforms you select, such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Shardcut is in early access and features may change.

Your account

You must be 18 or older. Keep your login secure. You are responsible for activity on your account and on the channels you connect.

Your content

• You may only upload content you own or have permission to use and post.
• You keep ownership of your content. You give us a limited license to store, process, cut and post it only to provide the service to you.
• You decide what gets posted. You set or approve each clip's title, description and visibility, and you are responsible for following each platform's rules.

Not allowed

• Infringing copyrights or other rights.
• Spam, buying or faking views, likes or subscribers, or any attempt to manipulate platform metrics.
• Illegal, abusive or harmful content.
• Interfering with Shardcut, YouTube or other platforms.

We may suspend accounts that break these rules.

Third-party programs

If you join creator reward or clipping programs run by others, those programs set their own rules and payouts. Shardcut is not a party to them and does not pay for views.

Fees

Early access is free unless we tell you otherwise. Any paid plan will show its price before you are charged.

Ending service

You can stop using Shardcut and delete your data at any time. We may end or change the service with notice where reasonable.

Disclaimers and liability

Shardcut is provided "as is" without warranties. We are not responsible for actions taken by YouTube or other platforms, including removed posts or account actions. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $50 if you paid nothing.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA.
