If you are using ClawGrab on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

2 Description of Service

ClawGrab is a web-based tool that extracts text transcripts and captions from publicly-accessible video content on platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Vimeo, and others.

The Service returns text data (transcripts, captions, subtitles) from videos at URLs you provide. ClawGrab does not:

• Download or store video files
• Host or redistribute video content
• Bypass DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems
• Access private or password-protected content

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

3 Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU) to use ClawGrab. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

The Service is available worldwide where not prohibited by applicable law. You are responsible for compliance with local laws in your jurisdiction.

4 User Accounts

Creating an account is optional for basic use. If you create an account:

• You must provide accurate and complete information
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password
• You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
• You may not share your account credentials with others
• You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5 Subscriptions & Billing

ClawGrab is currently in a free public beta. During the beta, ClawGrab is free; no charges, no auto-renewal, no refunds needed. There is nothing to buy and we do not ask for a credit card. Reasonable-use limits may apply to protect the service from abuse.

Paid plans, if introduced, will be announced by email first. No charge will ever be made without you actively subscribing.

Existing subscribers: if you subscribed before the beta, your subscription is managed through Stripe and you can view invoices, update your payment method, or cancel at any time from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Your content: You retain all rights to the URLs you submit and the transcripts you receive. We claim no ownership over content you process through our Service.

Third-party content: Video transcripts and captions are the property of their respective creators and platforms. ClawGrab facilitates access to publicly-available caption data; we do not create or own this content.

8 Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

We do not warrant that:

• The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
• Transcripts will be accurate, complete, or up-to-date
• The Service will work for all video URLs or platforms

Video availability and caption data depend on third-party platforms. ClawGrab cannot guarantee results for videos that lack captions, are region-locked, or have been removed.

9 Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLAWGRAB SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $50, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for certain damages. In such cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10 Termination

Either party may terminate the relationship at any time:

• You may stop using the Service and/or cancel your account at any time
• We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms, abuse, non-payment, or for any reason with reasonable notice

Upon termination: your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections covering intellectual property, disclaimer of warranties, limitation of liability, and governing law survive termination.

11 Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation first. If unresolved, disputes shall be subject to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

You waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits against ClawGrab.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
