Terms of Service

Last updated: July 27, 2026

Welcome to Recap (“Recap,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Recap website, application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account, uploading content, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Recap.

1. The Service

Recap helps you turn long-form video—such as podcasts, streams, lectures, and interviews—into short, post-ready clips. Features may include uploading source media, automated highlight detection, clip generation, versions/reclips from the same source, transcripts, downloads, usage metering, and optional publishing integrations (for example, posting clips to YouTube where available on your plan).

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including plan limits, retention periods, and integrations. We will try to provide reasonable notice when changes materially affect paid subscribers.

2. Accounts and eligibility

You must provide accurate account information and keep your credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity under your account. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. If you use Recap on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Your content — ownership and responsibility

You retain ownership of the videos, audio, text, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and other materials you upload or submit to Recap (“User Content”).

You—not Recap—are solely responsible for User Content and for any consequences of uploading, processing, storing, downloading, sharing, or publishing it. You represent and warrant that:

  • You own User Content or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions needed to upload it and to grant the licenses in these Terms;
  • User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
  • User Content complies with applicable law and does not contain illegal, harmful, defamatory, or otherwise prohibited material; and
  • If User Content depicts or identifies other people, you have obtained any required consents or have another lawful basis to process and use that content through the Service.

Recap acts as a technology provider that processes User Content at your direction. We do not claim ownership of your media, and we do not endorse or assume responsibility for User Content or for how you use clips generated from it.

4. License you grant to Recap

To operate the Service, you grant Recap a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transcribe, analyze, clip, transcode, display, and transmit User Content solely as needed to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you (including generating previews, thumbnails, transcripts, and clips, and enabling optional third-party publishing you initiate).

This license ends when your User Content is deleted from our systems, except for reasonable residual copies in backups or logs that are deleted in the ordinary course, and except where retention is required by law.

5. Prohibited uses

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Upload or process content you do not have rights to use;
  • Upload illegal content, including content that exploits or endangers minors, or that facilitates fraud, harassment, or other unlawful activity;
  • Attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or related systems;
  • Circumvent plan limits, billing, retention rules, or security controls; or
  • Misrepresent that Recap created, endorsed, or is responsible for your User Content or publications.

We may remove content, suspend accounts, or refuse service where we reasonably believe these Terms or the law have been violated.

6. Intellectual property of Recap

The Service—including software, design, branding, documentation, and our trademarks—is owned by Recap or its licensors. Except for the limited rights needed to use the Service, no rights are granted to you. You may not copy, modify, or redistribute our software or branding except as expressly permitted.

7. Third-party services

The Service may integrate with third parties (for example, payment processors or YouTube publishing). Your use of those services is subject to their terms and privacy policies. Recap is not responsible for third-party services, outages, policy changes, or account actions taken by those providers.

8. Plans, billing, and retention

Paid plans, usage limits, storage, retention windows, and feature access are described in the Service (including pricing pages and account settings) and may change over time. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated otherwise. If you cancel, you typically retain access through the end of the then-current billing period, subject to these Terms.

Source media and generated clips may be deleted automatically after your plan’s retention period or sooner if you delete them or close your account. You are responsible for downloading anything you want to keep before deletion.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RECAP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT CLIP SELECTION, TRANSCRIPTS, PROCESSING RESULTS, OR PUBLISHING FEATURES WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RECAP AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR USER CONTENT—EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Without limiting the foregoing, Recap is not liable for claims arising from User Content you upload or from your distribution, monetization, or publication of clips or other outputs derived from User Content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the claim or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Recap and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your infringement or violation of any third-party right.

12. Copyright complaints

If you believe User Content on Recap infringes your copyright, contact us with a notice that includes: (1) your contact information; (2) a description of the copyrighted work; (3) the location of the allegedly infringing material in the Service; (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; (5) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act; and (6) your physical or electronic signature. We may remove or disable access to material and, where appropriate, terminate repeat infringers’ accounts.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create risk or legal exposure for us or others, or for prolonged inactivity. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, and we may delete User Content in accordance with our retention practices and Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local consumer protections apply. Courts in that jurisdiction will have exclusive venue for disputes, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16. Contact

Questions about these Terms may be sent through the contact options provided in the Service or your account settings. For privacy-related questions, see our Privacy Policy.
