The terms, in plain words
Version 2026-09-25 · Max Clipz is in early access.
Anything marked PLACEHOLDER is not settled yet — it needs a lawyer's eye before Max Clipz charges anyone.
What Max Clipz does
Max Clipz watches game footage you give it, finds your plays, and cuts them into montages. The cutting runs on one Mac that Terrell runs. You give it footage two ways:
- Upload a video on the MONTAGES tab (No live stream? Use your videos).
- Paste a YouTube or Twitch link in the same place — a finished video or a past broadcast.
Your footage has to be yours
Only give Max Clipz footage you recorded yourself, or footage you have the rights to use. Not someone else's stream, not a TV broadcast, not a video you found.
Before anything is uploaded or pulled, you check one box — "This is my own video" — for an upload or a link. Checking it is you saying the footage is yours. On an upload, the job records your check, the time the job was made, and which version of these terms was up. On a link, the job is marked as your own video. Nothing is uploaded or pulled without it.
If someone shows us that footage on Max Clipz is theirs, we take it down. PLACEHOLDER — the formal copyright takedown contact and process.
What happens to your footage
- An upload is stored under your account (Google Firebase). Only your account can open it — and Terrell, who runs the Mac that cuts it. It stays until you delete it.
- A pasted link: the Mac pulls that one video, cuts it, and deletes the pull once the montage is made.
- Your montages are saved under your account. PLACEHOLDER — how long the Mac keeps its own working copies after a job.
- Songs: Max Clipz can lay a song under a montage, from the 3FFF catalog. PLACEHOLDER — the license for posting a montage with a Max Clipz song on YouTube, TikTok and other sites.
- Posting is yours to do. Max Clipz never posts anything to YouTube, TikTok or anywhere else for you. FINISH & SHARE makes a copy sized for the sites you pick; you download it and post it yourself.
Who can see your montages
- Private by default. A montage you make is yours: only your account sees it.
- Terrell runs Max Clipz and the Mac it runs on, so he can reach anything on the system to run it and fix it.
- The Community tab — only if you choose. Tap 👥 Share to Community on one montage (two taps: the first one tells you who will see it). Then can watch that montage on the Community tab, see its details (title, game, length, song, your handle and the gamertag you typed), comment on it, and add to its view count.
- Taking it back: one tap on 👥 ON COMMUNITY makes it private again and it leaves the Community tab right away.
- Heads up: a montage plays from a link. Someone who opened your montage while it was shared still holds that link. Making it private takes it off the Community tab; it does not take the link back from someone who already had it. PLACEHOLDER — shutting old links off when a montage goes private is on the build list.
- Comments you post on the Community tab can be read by anyone using Max Clipz.
Deleting
SETTINGS → DELETE (two taps) removes your montages and their files, your uploads, your jobs, your comments and your account. A copy someone downloaded before that is outside Max Clipz.
The trial
- Getting in: Sign up, and a free 14-day pass starts on its own a few minutes later. If you had a pass before, or it looks like a second account, you wait for Terrell to let you in himself. Until you're in, you are on the list: you can sign in, but you cannot make montages or see the Community tab.
- An invite gives you a free pass for a set number of days, starting when your seat is claimed — 14 or 30 days on the invites out today. A pass Terrell gives you himself has no end date.
- When a pass ends you keep your montages and can still delete everything. Making new montages and the Community tab stop until the pass is renewed.
- Price: Max Clipz costs nothing during the trial. PLACEHOLDER — the price after the trial, and what founding members get.
- Early access means one Mac cuts for everyone: jobs wait in line, a job can fail, and the app can be down. There is no promise of uptime or speed.
Using it fairly
- Only your own footage (above).
- Don't try to reach anyone else's footage or montages, and don't try to get around the approval.
- Nothing illegal, and nothing you would be banned for on YouTube or TikTok.
- Terrell can take a montage down, or end a pass, that breaks these.
The legal part
PLACEHOLDER — needs a lawyer: the legal name of who runs Max Clipz, a contact address, warranty and liability limits, which state's law applies, how these terms change and how you are told, the privacy policy (what Google Firebase keeps about your account: your email, your sign-in, your files), and the minimum age.
