Effective Date: February 9, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“you,” “your,” “User”) and the provider/operator of the ClipKing mobile application and related services (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). The “Service” includes the mobile application and any related features, content, and services.
BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, ACCESSING, OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.
The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
1. IMPORTANT NOTICE – SKILL-BASED PLATFORM; NOT GAMBLING
ClipKing is a skill-based talent video competition platform. Participation in events and outcomes are determined by User skill, creativity, and community feedback (e.g., ratings/“crowns”), not chance. The Service is not a gambling product, lottery, sweepstakes, or game of chance, and it does not use randomized prize mechanics.
Purchasing or using ClipChips does not increase the likelihood of winning, being featured, or gaining visibility. Any ranking, visibility, or reward determination is based on rules and community feedback mechanisms as described in these Terms and the applicable event rules.
2. DEFINITIONS
“ClipChips” means the in-app virtual currency purchasable through Apple In-App Purchase or Google Play Billing, used to access certain features (e.g., submitting videos to events). ClipChips are not real money and have no cash value.
“Content” means any videos, audio (including music), text, images, usernames, profile pictures, comments, and other materials uploaded, posted, or otherwise made available through the Service.
“Event” means a time-limited competition, challenge, or program offered through the Service, which may have specific rules, eligibility criteria, fees, rewards, and time windows.
3. ELIGIBILITY; AGE; PARENTAL/GUARDIAN CONSENT
3.1 Minimum Age
The Service is intended for Users who are at least 16 years old, unless we explicitly permit access for younger Users in connection with verified parental or legal guardian consent and where permitted by applicable law.
3.2 Users Under 16
If you are under 16, you may use the Service only if:
(a) a parent or legal guardian provides verifiable consent in accordance with our consent process; and
(b) your use is otherwise lawful in your jurisdiction.
3.3 Additional Restrictions
Certain features (including events involving monetary rewards, withdrawals, or financial transactions) may be restricted to Users who are 18+ or the age of majority in their jurisdiction, may require additional verification, and may not be available in all countries.
3.4 Children Under 13
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts or use the Service.
4. TERRITORIAL AVAILABILITY; INTERNATIONAL USE; LOCAL LAW COMPLIANCE
The Service is offered globally and may be accessed by Users from many countries.

You are solely responsible for: (a) ensuring that your access to and use of the Service is lawful in your jurisdiction; (b) complying with all applicable local laws, regulations, and industry rules (including consumer protection, advertising/contest rules, tax reporting, and digital safety laws); and (c) obtaining and maintaining any permissions, authorizations, or consents required for your use of the Service.
We may, at any time and without liability, limit, suspend, or refuse access to the Service (in whole or in part) in any jurisdiction, or to any User, if we reasonably believe such restriction is necessary to comply with law, protect the integrity of the Service, or manage risk.
5. SANCTIONS; EXPORT COMPLIANCE
You may not use the Service if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, or if you are listed on any sanctions or restricted parties list maintained by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, or other applicable authorities. You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws in connection with your use of the Service.

You are responsible for: (a) maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials; (b) all activities occurring under your account; and (c) ensuring that your use complies with these Terms and applicable law.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that we reasonably believe are fraudulent, abusive, harmful, or in violation of these Terms.
7. EVENTS; RULES; FAIR PLAY; ANTI-FRAUD
7.1 Event Rules
Each Event may have additional rules (“Event Rules”) presented in-app. Event Rules form part of these Terms. If Event Rules conflict with these Terms, the Event Rules control for that Event only.
7.2 Ratings and Integrity
We may implement measures to protect integrity (e.g., anti-spam, anti-bot detection, rate limits, duplicate detection, suspicious behavior review). We may remove ratings, disqualify entries, or adjust leaderboards where we reasonably believe manipulation, abuse, or violations occurred.
7.3 No Guarantee of Outcome
We do not guarantee visibility, rankings, rewards, selection, or any outcome. Outcomes depend on community feedback and compliance with Event Rules.
