Terms of Use

By accessing or using CutShot (the “Service”) you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 16 years old, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live (in many places, 18). If you are a minor, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms on your behalf and supervise your use. If you use CutShot for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these terms for it.

CutShot lets you upload beach-volleyball footage and automatically generates highlights and player statistics using machine learning. The Service runs in your browser and uses cloud processing. Features and limits vary by plan and may change.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for keeping your credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.

You agree not to:

• Upload footage you do not have the right to use and share.
• Upload footage of identifiable people without the rights or consent required where you are — including verifiable parental/guardian consent for minors.
• Upload content that is illegal, infringing, harassing, defamatory, or that invades privacy or enables surveillance or stalking.
• Use tagging or sharing to harass, impersonate, or expose someone.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, overload, probe, or otherwise abuse the Service or its models.
• Resell or commercially exploit the Service without our authorization.

You keep ownership of the videos you upload. To run the Service, you grant CutShot a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transcode, analyze, and create derivative outputs from your videos — statistics, highlights, player cards, reels, and claim links — and to display them back to you and to the people you share them with. You also let us pass your content to the service providers listed in the Privacy Policy so they can perform these functions for us.

This license exists only to operate and improve the Service. It ends when you delete your content or account, except for copies in backups for a short period, de-identified or aggregated data, and anything we must keep by law.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions needed for the footage you upload and for the people who appear in it.

When you tag another player, you represent that you have the right and any consent required to identify and share footage and statistics about them — including verifiable parental or guardian consent if they are a minor. You must have a good-faith basis to name someone, and you must not tag to harass. Tagged players can opt out, which anonymizes their preview and disables their link; shared previews never show faces. Claiming a tag links a match to a player’s account for their statistics; it does not transfer ownership of the match. You agree to indemnify us for claims arising from people you tag or footage you upload.

CutShot owns the Service, including its software, machine-learning models, design, and branding. The statistics and cards we generate from your footage are provided for your personal use. We may use de-identified and aggregated data, and the corrections you submit, to improve the Service.

CutShot statistics, ratings, and detections are produced automatically and are estimates. They may be inaccurate or incomplete and are not an official record. Do not rely on them for official scoring, wagering, disputes, eligibility, recruiting decisions, or any decision with legal or financial consequences. They are confidence-gated and you can correct them, but we do not warrant their accuracy.

We respect intellectual-property rights and expect you to do the same. If you believe content on CutShot infringes your copyright, send a notice to hello@cutshot.app (Attn: Copyright Agent) that includes: your contact details; identification of the work and the infringing material (with a link); a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your signature.

We will remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a valid notice, notify the person who posted it, and accept counter-notices. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate cases.

CutShot currently offers a free tier and does not charge for paid plans yet. When paid plans launch, we will show prices and terms before you buy. Paid plans will renew automatically until cancelled, you will be able to cancel at any time (effective at the end of the current period), and we will follow the auto-renewal and cancellation rules that apply where you live. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. We will update these terms before charging anyone.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, that the Service will meet your needs, or the accuracy of automated analysis. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, CutShot is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost data, revenue, or profits. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or US $100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, certain mandatory consumer rights, or liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence).

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold CutShot harmless from claims, losses, and expenses arising out of the content you upload, the people you tag, or your misuse of the Service or violation of these terms.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these terms or as otherwise reasonably necessary. After termination, your data is handled according to the retention policy in the Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute resolution) survive termination.

Informal resolution first. If you have a dispute, contact us at hello@cutshot.app first and give us 60 days to try to resolve it informally before starting a formal proceeding. In practice this is the fastest route — CutShot is a small independent project and we would rather fix a problem than argue about it.

No forced arbitration, no class-action waiver. We do not require you to arbitrate, and we do not ask you to give up your right to bring or join a class or representative action, or your right to a jury trial where one is available to you.

Your local rights apply. You keep every right the mandatory law of your country of residence gives you, including the right to bring proceedings in your local courts. Nothing here limits those rights.

Exceptions. Either party may bring a claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for intellectual-property or misuse claims.

CutShot is currently operated by its owner as an independent project, and no governing-law jurisdiction is specified in these terms yet. We will publish one here, with notice, if and when the service is operated by a registered legal entity. Until then we do not assert any particular governing law or exclusive forum against you.

If you are a consumer, the mandatory protections of the law where you live apply regardless, and you may bring proceedings in your local courts.

We may update these terms. For material changes we will notify you in the app or by email and update the “Effective” date. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and CutShot about the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. We may give you notices through the app or by email.
