LoudClip

Terms of Service

Version v1.0 · Published August 18, 2026 · Effective August 18, 2026

Article 1 (Purpose)

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern the relationship, rights, and obligations between the Service operator ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") and users ("User," "you," or "your") regarding the use of 'LoudClip' (the "Service"), a SaaS-based video player optimized for language learning. By accessing or using the Service, completing the registration process, or clicking "I agree," you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

Article 2 (Definitions)

  1. "Service" means the SaaS-based video player software and all related features provided by the Company via the website to assist with language learning.
  2. "User" means an individual who creates an account and agrees to these Terms to use the Service.
  3. "Basic Plan" means the free-of-charge tier available indefinitely without requiring credit card information, which limits the User to a maximum of one (1) video and one (1) flashcard deck per device (up to 50 cards per deck). The Core Learning Features defined in paragraph 9 are provided in full under the Basic Plan.
  4. "Lite Plan" means the subscription tier billed recurringly at USD $30 per three (3) months, granting up to 10 video registrations and up to 10 flashcard decks per device (up to 1,000 cards per deck), and access to core learning features. The Lite Plan is a single bundled offering billed per three-month term and is not divisible into monthly portions for the purposes of a User's unilateral withdrawal. However, where the contract terminates due to circumstances attributable to the Company (including termination following non-acceptance of amended Terms under Article 3(4)), the Company will refund an amount corresponding to the unexpired portion of the term.
  5. "Standard Plan" means the premium subscription tier billed recurringly at USD $20 per month, granting video registration without an app-set limit (subject to available device storage capacity), up to 20 flashcard decks per device (up to 2,000 cards per deck), and access to all features.
  6. "Flashcard" means the card-based learning material a User creates, together with its review history. Like video files, flashcards are stored in the User's browser local storage (OPFS); decks that the User publishes under paragraph 7 are, however, stored on the Company's servers so that they can be made public (see Article 7).
  7. "Publishing" means the act of a User making their deck or video visible to other Users in the discovery area, and may be labelled "Share" in the service interface.
  8. "Community Guidelines" means the community standards separately established and published by the Company, which form an integral part of these Terms.
  9. "Core Learning Features" means the dual-subtitle video playback and repetition features that display subtitles in the language being learned alongside subtitles in the User's native language, together with the flashcard creation and spaced-repetition review features. These features are provided under every plan. What differs by plan are the quantitative limits set out in paragraphs 3 through 5; the Core Learning Features themselves are not restricted on the basis of plan.
  10. "Publisher" means a User who has carried out the Publishing defined in paragraph 7. Publisher status arises from the act of publishing itself, not from any separate tier or application process.

Article 3 (Notice and Amendment of Terms)

  1. The Company will post these Terms on the initial screen of the Service or on a linked screen so that Users can readily review them.
  2. The Company may amend these Terms within the scope permitted by applicable law. The Company will provide notice at least seven (7) days before the effective date, or at least thirty (30) days before the effective date for amendments unfavorable to Users.
  3. Changes to the Community Guidelines that have no substantive effect on Users' rights or obligations — such as adding specific examples to existing prohibited conduct or clarifying wording — may be announced concurrently with their effect. Substantive changes unfavorable to Users, such as establishing new categories of prohibited conduct, follow the procedure in paragraph 2 of this Article.
  4. If a User does not accept the amended Terms, the User may terminate the service agreement. In that case, the Company will refund an amount corresponding to the unexpired portion of the term, as set out in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.

Article 4 (Formation and Restriction of the Agreement)

  1. The agreement is formed when a prospective User agrees to these Terms and completes the registration process.
  2. The Service is intended solely for users who are at least 14 years of age. Children under 14 may not register for the Service, and Users must confirm at registration that they are at least 14 years old.
  3. Payment and use by a minor must be made with the consent and under the responsibility of a legal guardian.
  4. By registering, the User is deemed to have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and the Community Guidelines.

Article 5 (Prohibited Use)

  1. You agree not to use the Service to:
    1. Reproduce, distribute, or exploit videos or content that infringe upon third-party copyrights or intellectual property rights.
    2. Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
    3. Use the Service for any unlawful or harmful purpose.
    4. Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service (e.g., hacking, DDoS attacks).
    5. Access or use another user's account without authorization.
    6. Use a display name or activity ID that impersonates another person or is likely to cause confusion as to identity.
    7. Use a display name that is inappropriate under the Community Guidelines, including profanity, hate speech, or advertising.
    8. Publish content that is inappropriate under the Community Guidelines.
  2. The specific standards for each item are set out in the Community Guidelines.
  3. The Company may restrict the registration of display names, activity IDs, or other expressions that could fall under items 6 or 7 of paragraph 1, or that the Company otherwise needs to reserve for operational reasons. In such cases, the User will be informed that the value cannot be used.
  4. If a User engages in prohibited conduct, the Company may take the measures set out in Article 11.

Article 6 (Intellectual Property and Content Licence)

  1. All software, UI/UX design, brand assets, logos, and content within the Service are the exclusive intellectual property of the Company.
  2. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without the Company's prior written consent.
  3. Unpublished content: All rights in the video files, personal decks, and learning history you register belong solely to you. The Company claims no rights over them. This content is held on your own device (browser local storage) and is not stored on the Company's servers, so the Company neither accesses nor processes its contents.
  4. Published content: By performing the act of publishing, you grant the Company a non-exclusive licence limited to what is necessary to operate the Service — storage, reproduction, display, distribution, translation, thumbnail generation, and ranking. The Company will not use published content beyond that scope. Published content is not used to train artificial intelligence models.
  5. Survival: If you withdraw a publication or delete your account, the licence in respect of copies already adopted by other Users survives. This ensures that other Users' learning materials are not lost as a result of another person's account deletion.
  6. Notice before publishing: Because published content may persist as other Users' copies even after you delete your account, you must not include personal information in the content you publish.
  7. Composition of discovery lists: The Company has discretion over the composition of its discovery and ranking lists and may, where necessary for the operation of the Service, exclude a particular video from list exposure and from new saves. In such cases the Member's published content is not deleted, and copies already saved by other Members remain as provided in Paragraph 5. Exclusion under this Paragraph does not constitute a sanction under Article 11.
  8. Limit on the number of publications: Each User may publish up to 15 videos and up to 15 decks. This limit applies regardless of the User's plan.

Article 6-2 (Rights Infringement Reports and Takedown)

  1. Where published content infringes the rights of a third party, the rights holder or their authorised agent may request a takedown through the rights infringement report process available in the Service.
  2. When the Company receives a report, it reviews the substance of the report. Matters under review are marked as under review in the publisher listing.
  3. Where a report is upheld, the Company conceals the public exposure of published content originating from the channel concerned. In such cases the published content itself is not deleted, and copies already saved by other Members remain as provided in Article 6(5).
  4. The publisher may contact our support team to make an enquiry or lodge an objection regarding a measure under Paragraph 3. The procedure for receiving and handling such objections follows Article 11(3) by analogy.
  5. Where a report is withdrawn, or where the review does not establish an infringement, the Company lifts the measure under Paragraph 3 without delay and restores the content's exposure.
  6. A measure under this Article does not constitute a sanction under Article 11. Measures under this Article exist to protect third-party rights and are not disciplinary responses to a Member's violation; they are therefore not recorded as sanctions and are not subject to the subscription treatment set out in Article 11(5).

Article 7 (Data Storage and Technical Nature)

  1. The Service provides software tools and features to optimize video playback for language learning. The Company does not provide video content itself.
  2. Video files are stored solely in your browser's local storage (OPFS: Origin Private File System) and are never uploaded to the Company's servers. A single registered video file must not exceed 500MB. Because videos reside in each device's local storage, the video registration limits in Article 2(3) through 2(5) apply separately to each device (browser profile), and videos registered on one device are not accessible from another device. You may export videos and subtitles as a ZIP file to back them up or move them to another device; that ZIP file is provided only as a download to your own device.
  3. Flashcard decks and learning history (card contents, review records, and learning progress state) are, like video files, stored in your browser's local storage (OPFS) and are not stored on the Company's servers. Accordingly:
    1. Decks are not synchronised automatically across devices, and a deck created on one device is not accessible from another device. You may move decks between devices yourself using the deck export/import (ZIP) feature.
    2. The flashcard deck limits in Article 2(3) through 2(5) apply separately to each device (browser profile). To enforce these limits the Company records on its servers only minimal administrative data such as deck identifiers, device identifiers, and the permitted card capacity per deck; it does not record card contents or review history.
  4. Published (shared) content is stored on the Company's servers so that it can be made available to other Users. For a deck, its card contents are stored in the database; for a video, a learning-material file (ZIP) consisting of subtitles and a thumbnail, together with the public thumbnail image, is stored in Cloudflare R2 storage. Even then, the video file itself is not uploaded. If you withdraw publication, the stored copy is deleted; copies already taken by other Users are governed by Article 6(5). The specifics of this processing are set out in the Privacy Policy.
  5. The Company shall not be held liable for loss of videos, flashcard decks, or learning history stored in local storage (OPFS), including data cleared by browser cache/site-data deletion, browser updates, or local hardware issues. You are solely responsible for backing up and managing your local data, including by using the export features.

Article 8 (Subscription and Billing)

  1. Users register automatically under the "Basic Plan" and may choose to upgrade to the "Lite Plan" or "Standard Plan" at any time.
  2. The "Lite Plan" is a recurring subscription service billed at USD $30 every three (3) months.
  3. The "Standard Plan" is a recurring subscription service billed at USD $20 per month.
  4. Unless you cancel, the same amount will be charged automatically at each billing cycle.
  5. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Account Settings, at least 24 hours before the start of the next billing cycle.

Article 9 (Withdrawal and Refunds)

  1. Prior evaluation opportunity: Through the "Basic Plan," the Company provides an indefinite, no-cost opportunity to fully test the Service's features and your operating environment (browser and OPFS compatibility).
  2. The specific criteria, procedures, and timelines for refunds are governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy. These Terms do not themselves determine refund eligibility.
  3. Access after cancellation: Upon cancellation, you retain access to your plan's features until the end of your current paid billing period, after which no further charges are made and your account converts to the Basic Plan.

Article 10 (Account Termination and Data Deletion)

  1. You may delete your account at any time through your Account Settings.
  2. Upon account deletion, the Company will destroy or anonymise your personal data as set out in the Privacy Policy.
  3. If you delete your account while on a paid plan, you must cancel your subscription beforehand. Whether a refund is due is governed by the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
  4. The Company may terminate your account with prior notice if you register false information or if your account remains inactive for an extended period (12 or more months). Termination under this paragraph does not constitute a measure under Article 11.

Article 11 (Measures for Violations)

  1. Where a User violates the prohibited conduct in Article 5 or the Community Guidelines, the Company may take the following measures in stages, in proportion to the nature and severity of the violation:
    1. Warning
    2. Making the relevant content private
    3. Display name exposure restriction: hiding an inappropriate display name and substituting the default representation (@activity ID)
    4. Activity ID exposure restriction: limited to activity IDs that impersonate another person or infringe another person's rights. The Company will not choose a new activity ID on the User's behalf; the measure is lifted once the User sets a new activity ID.
    5. Community feature suspension: temporarily restricting publishing, voting, and adoption features and display name visibility. Learning features remain fully available, and fees for paid plans continue to be charged.
    6. Account suspension: temporarily restricting use of the entire account
    7. Permanent suspension: indefinitely restricting use of the entire account, limited to serious or repeated violations
  2. Notice and appeal: At the same time as taking any measure under paragraph 1, the Company will notify you of the grounds through an in-service notification. You may appeal immediately upon notice, as set out in paragraph 3.
  3. Appeals: You may appeal any measure under paragraph 1. The Company will respond with the outcome of its review within seven (7) business days of receiving the appeal. No time limit applies to submitting an appeal.
  4. Correction of erroneous measures: If it is established that the Company's determination was in error, the Company will lift the measure without undue delay and expunge the corresponding sanction record. Where the measure under paragraph 1, item 7 (permanent suspension) was in error, the Company will refund, on a pro-rata basis, the fees corresponding to the portion of the affected period for which you had paid subscription fees. Where you held no paid subscription during that period, the lifting of the measure and the expungement of the sanction record shall constitute the remedy, and no separate monetary compensation is provided. No other measure restricts access to learning features, so no other compensation is provided.
  5. Subscription handling on permanent suspension: Where an account is permanently suspended due to circumstances attributable to the User, the Company will terminate the subscription without refunding the remaining period.
  6. Reuse of restricted values: A display name or activity ID whose exposure has been restricted under paragraph 1, items 3 or 4 may not be reused until the measure is lifted. Because an activity ID is a unique identifier, no other User may use that value either.

Article 12 (Service Interruption and Limitation of Liability)

  1. The Company may temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, replacement, or breakdown of information and communication facilities, or for communication outages.
  2. The Company is not liable for service interruptions caused by force majeure, media compatibility issues, changes in the user's browser environment, or other causes not attributable to the Company's intent or negligence.
  3. Except in cases of the Company's wilful misconduct or gross negligence, the Company's total liability to you shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by you to the Company in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
  4. The Company is not responsible for any issues arising from the use of third-party services integrated with the Service, including but not limited to Google OAuth and Creem payment infrastructure.

Article 13 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction)

  1. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Korea.
  2. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought in the courts having jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Act of the Republic of Korea. However, nothing in this paragraph shall deprive consumers in jurisdictions with mandatory consumer protection laws (including EU member states) of the protections afforded to them under such applicable laws.
  3. In the event of any conflict between the Korean and English versions of these Terms, the Korean version shall prevail. However, nothing in this paragraph shall deprive consumers of the protections afforded to them by mandatory law.
