1. Acceptance and eligibility
These Terms govern your use of the CLTCHRS website and the CLTCHRS Windows desktop application (“ClutchCut”). By accessing or using the service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into these Terms. If you use CLTCHRS for a team, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.
2. What CLTCHRS provides
CLTCHRS analyzes authorized Counter-Strike 2 demo files, suggests highlight windows, renders user-selected moments into short-form video, and can publish selected videos to supported third-party platforms at the user’s direction. Features may change as the service evolves.
The desktop application requires compatible Windows software, game files, rendering tools, and hardware. You are responsible for your system, connectivity, platform accounts, backups, and any charges imposed by third parties.
3. Connected accounts and publishing control
You may connect supported social accounts through the platform’s authorization flow. You are responsible for maintaining control of those accounts and for reviewing the destination account, video preview, caption, privacy, interaction settings, disclosures, and other metadata before publishing.
CLTCHRS does not publish merely because you imported, analyzed, or rendered a file. A transfer starts only after you choose a destination and explicitly confirm the post. You may disconnect a platform account at any time.
4. Your content and permissions
You retain ownership of content you provide and create. You grant CLTCHRS only the limited permission needed to process that content on your device and transmit a chosen publication to the platform you select.
You represent that you own or have all permissions needed for each demo, recording, player likeness, audio track, caption, trademark, and other material you process or publish. You are solely responsible for your content and for complying with copyright, privacy, publicity, tournament, game publisher, and platform rules.
CLTCHRS is intended for authentic creators sharing original gameplay or authorized match footage. It may not be used to copy arbitrary content from other platforms, impersonate creators, or operate a private mass-upload utility.
5. Acceptable use
You must not use CLTCHRS to:
- process or publish content you do not have the right to use;
- violate law, sanctions, intellectual-property rights, privacy rights, or platform policies;
- publish deceptive, hateful, sexually exploitative, dangerous, or otherwise unlawful content;
- spam, manipulate engagement, evade platform limits, or automate publishing without meaningful user review and consent;
- add prohibited promotional watermarks or misleading attribution to content shared through a platform integration;
- probe, interfere with, reverse engineer where prohibited, or compromise the service, its credentials, or another user’s systems;
- share developer credentials, tokens, or access granted to your connected account.
6. Third-party services
TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, Counter-Strike 2, FACEIT, HLTV, and other third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Their availability, review decisions, post processing, visibility, limits, moderation, and account actions are outside our control.
When publishing to TikTok, you must comply with the TikTok Terms of Service, applicable content and music rules, and the choices shown in the publishing interface. CLTCHRS is independent software and is not sponsored, endorsed, or operated by Valve or TikTok.
7. Software license and intellectual property
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the CLTCHRS application for its intended purpose. CLTCHRS branding, product design, code, documentation, and other service materials remain owned by us or our licensors. Third-party names and marks belong to their respective owners.
8. Availability, disclaimers, and liability
The service is provided “as is” and “as available” to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every game or platform update, approval by any platform, or a particular publishing outcome. Review every clip before posting.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost data, lost revenue, account restrictions, or claims arising from your content or third-party services. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.
9. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the service and disconnect accounts at any time. We may restrict access to distributed versions or services if use violates these Terms, creates security or legal risk, or harms users or third parties. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
10. Changes
We may update the service and these Terms. The date at the top identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated through the site or application where appropriate. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
