Terms of Service & Licence

Last updated: August 1, 2026

1. Who we are

Clappy (“Clappy”, “we”, “us”) is published by Namua Consulting, a company registered in France under SIREN 929 997 674, VAT no. FR76929997674. You can reach us at contact@clappy.video. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your download and use of the Clappy application (the “Software”) and this website. The commercial terms of any purchase are set out in our Terms of Sale, and how we handle data is described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Acceptance

By downloading, installing or using the Software, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.

3. The Software

Clappy is a local video-editing tool for talking-head recordings. It detects silences, hesitations and repeated takes, suggests the best take, and can generate subtitles, a title, a description and chapters. Clappy is offered in two editions — Light and Heavy — which differ in the set of AI models included. All processing runs on your computer; your video and audio files are never uploaded to us.

4. Free trial

Clappy can be tried free for 15 days, with no account and no payment method. During and after the trial you can import, analyse, edit and generate subtitles. When the trial ends, the MP4 export and the AI title, description and chapters require a paid licence. Your projects are never deleted by the end of the trial — entering a licence unlocks the gated features immediately.

5. Your licence

When you purchase, we grant you a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the Software, for the edition you bought, subject to these Terms. Your licence is delivered as a signed licence key of the form CLPY1-….

What you may do

• Install and use the Software for your own personal or professional creative work.
• Install it on up to three (3) machines that you own or control, provided you are the only user.
• Use the videos, subtitles and text you produce with Clappy freely, including for commercial purposes — you own your output (see section 7).

What you may not do

• Share, resell, sub-license, lend or publish your licence key, or use it on machines beyond your own personal use.
• Copy or distribute the Software itself, or make it available to others.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Remove or alter any notices, or attempt to bypass the licensing or trial mechanism.

The licence key is personal. Because keys are perpetual and not tied to a hardware lock, honouring the three-machine limit relies on your good faith; keys that appear on a large number of distinct machines may be treated as shared in breach of these Terms.

6. The activation signal

Clappy is a “100% local” product, and it stays that way. The one exception is a small activation signal: when you paste your licence key, the app sends us a signed message so we can record the activation and detect key sharing. This message contains only:

• the licence identifier and an anonymous machine code (a one-way hash — it cannot be linked back to your identity or to another customer),
• the edition, your operating-system family and version, and the app version.

It never contains your videos, audio, projects, file names or any personal content. This is the only network call the Software makes as part of licensing. See the Privacy Policy for how this data is handled.

7. Your content

You keep all rights to the recordings you import and to everything you export from Clappy — videos, subtitles, titles, descriptions and chapters. We claim no ownership or licence over your content, and we never receive it. You are responsible for having the rights to the material you edit.

8. Intellectual property

The Software, its name, logo and design are owned by Namua Consulting and protected by law. These Terms grant you a licence to use the Software, not any ownership of it. Clappy bundles third-party components under their own open-source licences; those attributions are listed inside the app’s “Licenses” screen.

9. Updates

We may release updates to your edition. Where we provide an update for the edition you own, it is covered by your existing licence. We are not obliged to maintain, update or support any particular version indefinitely.

10. Disclaimer of warranty

The Software is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of your source recordings and exports. This section does not exclude the mandatory legal guarantees that consumers benefit from under applicable law (in France, the garantie légale de conformité and the garantie des vices cachés), which remain fully available to you.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising out of or relating to the Software is limited to the amount you paid for your licence in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost data, lost profits or lost time. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, in cases of fraud, gross negligence, death or personal injury), nor a consumer’s mandatory statutory rights.

12. Termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Software. Your licence may end if you materially breach these Terms (for example, by sharing your key). On termination you must stop using the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability, governing law) continue to apply.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the mandatory protections of the country where you live, and this choice of law does not deprive you of them. Before going to court, an EU consumer may seek an amicable settlement, including through the EU’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Disputes that are not resolved amicably fall under the jurisdiction of the competent French courts, subject to any mandatory consumer rule that gives you the right to sue where you live.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date above. The version that applies to your purchase is the one in force when you bought your licence; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms for future use.
