Terms & Conditions
Effective date:
These terms govern your use of the CutSeen website, app, and related features (together, the “Service”). The Service is operated by CutSeen, Inc., based in California, USA (“CutSeen,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information. You can contact us about either document at admin@cutseenapp.com.
1. Who can use CutSeen
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are 13–17, you must have a parent or legal guardian’s permission. Please review these terms with them. You must also meet any higher minimum age or additional consent requirement that applies where you live.
A parent’s permission does not make someone under 13 eligible. Do not create an account for a child under 13 or help them use the Service.
2. The Service
CutSeen lets you share short videos, photos, messages, comments, and reactions with friends and groups. Recuts bring clips from a conversation together into a shared daily montage. Features may change as we develop the app, and some may be offered in testing before wider release.
At launch, CutSeen has no in-app purchases, subscriptions, or advertising. Your mobile carrier or internet provider may charge you for data or text messages. Any future paid offering would be explained separately before you choose to purchase it.
3. Your account
Provide accurate registration information and use a phone number you are entitled to use. Keep your device and verification codes secure. Do not share your account or impersonate someone else. Tell us if you believe someone has accessed your account without permission, or if you lose control of the phone number associated with it.
You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account. Phone verification, service notifications, and invitations you choose to send may involve SMS or device notifications. These terms do not authorize promotional text messages.
4. Using CutSeen responsibly
Use the Service for lawful, personal communication. You must not:
- Harass, threaten, exploit, stalk, or deliberately harm another person, or promote violence or hatred.
- Share sexual content involving minors, facilitate child exploitation, or share intimate content without the depicted person’s consent.
- Upload content that violates someone’s privacy, intellectual property, or other rights. Get the permissions you need before recording or sharing other people.
- Send spam, commit fraud, impersonate others, or use the Service for unauthorized commercial solicitations.
- Distribute malicious software, interfere with the Service, evade access restrictions, or attempt to access another person’s account or content without permission.
- Scrape, harvest, or collect information about other users without authorization, or use automated tools to abuse the Service.
You may report content through available app controls or contact us at admin@cutseenapp.com. CutSeen is not an emergency service.
5. Your content and sharing
You keep ownership of the content you contribute. You give CutSeen a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and display that content as needed to provide, maintain, and protect the Service. This includes preparing media for playback, creating thumbnails, and assembling Recuts for the relevant conversation.
We may let our service providers perform those operations on our behalf. This license does not give us a general right to use your private content in advertising. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed for the content you submit and for its use in these ways.
Consider your audience before sending anything. Other participants may save, record, or share what they receive, including a Recut containing your clips. We cannot guarantee that a recipient will keep content private, or remove copies they have saved outside the Service.
The license lasts while your content is held as part of the Service and, after a deletion request, only as needed to complete removal, address legal or security obligations, or maintain limited backup copies until they are removed in the ordinary course. Deletion does not take back copies held independently by recipients.
6. Safety, moderation, and account restrictions
We may investigate reports, restrict or remove content, and suspend or end access when we reasonably believe there has been a violation of these terms, a security issue, unlawful activity, or a risk of harm. We may preserve or disclose information when required by law or otherwise permitted as described in the Privacy Policy.
We do not promise to review every item before it is shared. If you believe a restriction was a mistake, email us so we can consider your request. We may act immediately when necessary for safety, security, or legal reasons.
7. Our software and other services
We give you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Service while you follow these terms. CutSeen and its licensors retain their rights in the app, branding, and other materials we provide. Do not copy, sell, or modify our software or attempt to derive its source code, except where applicable law permits it.
Your device, app store, network provider, and third-party services may have their own terms. If you obtain CutSeen through Apple, these terms are between you and CutSeen, not Apple. Your use must comply with Apple’s applicable usage rules. CutSeen is responsible for the app and its support; Apple has no obligation to provide support for it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the app-related provisions of these terms to the extent required by Apple’s applicable rules.
8. Stopping use and requesting deletion
You may stop using CutSeen at any time. To request account deletion or deletion of personal information, email admin@cutseenapp.com. We may need to verify that you control the account before acting. Do not email a password or verification code.
Uninstalling the app or signing out does not, by itself, delete your account or information stored with the Service. The Privacy Policy explains retention and the limits of removing content already shared with others. Provisions that reasonably need to continue after account closure, including ownership, limitations of liability, and dispute provisions, will continue to apply.
9. Availability and warranties
We aim to make CutSeen useful and reliable, but interruptions, defects, and changes can occur. We may change, pause, or discontinue features. Do not rely on CutSeen as your only backup of important media.
To the extent allowed by applicable law, the Service is provided as available, without warranties that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, suitable for a particular purpose, or free of all security risks. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or consumer guarantee that the law does not allow us to exclude.
10. Responsibility and liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, CutSeen is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or lost business opportunities arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service. We are not responsible for another user’s independent conduct or copies they keep outside the Service, except to the extent the law makes us responsible.
These limitations do not exclude liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or any other responsibility that cannot lawfully be limited. Any mandatory rights you have as a consumer remain in effect.
11. Governing law and disputes
California law governs these terms, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except where the mandatory laws of your place of residence provide otherwise. Disputes may be brought before state or federal courts with jurisdiction in California. If applicable consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere or to rely on other protections, these terms do not take that right away.
These terms do not require arbitration and do not waive class-action rights. You are welcome to contact us first to try to resolve a concern, but doing so does not replace or restrict your legal rights.
12. Changes and general provisions
We may update these terms as the Service or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and provide notice of material changes through the Service or another appropriate channel. When required by law, we will seek your agreement before a change takes effect. If you do not agree to revised terms, stop using the Service.
If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A delay in enforcing a provision does not mean it has been waived. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our agreement; we may transfer ours as part of a lawful business transfer, subject to your mandatory rights.
