1. Overview

FlowClip ("the app", "we", "us") is a video editing application developed by Melibyte Apps (sole developer), with a community workshop where users can create, share, and download GLSL shader effects. By using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the community features.

These Terms of Service govern your use of the FlowClip Community Workshop and all user-generated content (UGC) features. This document, together with our Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the developer regarding the use of community features.

2. Eligibility & Age Requirement

  • If you are under the required age, you may not publish, download, like, or report community content.
  • By accepting these terms, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement.
  • The video editing features of FlowClip may be used without age restriction; only community/UGC features require age eligibility.

3. Account & Authentication

  • You must sign in with a Google account to publish content, like shaders, or interact with the community.
  • You are responsible for all activity under your account and for maintaining the security of your Google account credentials.
  • Anonymous users may browse and download community content but cannot publish, like, report, or otherwise interact with UGC.
  • You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent bans, manipulate metrics, or evade these terms.

  • License to Users: By publishing, you grant all FlowClip users a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to download and use your shader for personal, non-commercial purposes.
  • Broad License to Melibyte Apps: You additionally grant Melibyte Apps a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable, and worldwide license to host, transmit, display, distribute, modify, run, and create derivative works of your shader code.
  • If you enable "Protect Source Code," the app UI will hide your shader code from other users. This is a client-side protection and does not constitute encryption or DRM.

8. Reporting & Moderation

  • Restrict or terminate access to community features
  • Modify or discontinue the community workshop at any time

Upon termination or account deletion, your published shaders may be removed from your public profile. Shader code you published remains licensed to us under §7. We may maintain these shaders in the community library, permanently anonymize the author attribution, and sever connections to your deleted personal profile.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer (Melibyte Apps) from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising out of or related to content you publish, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

Your use of FlowClip is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the community features after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users.

Summary

Publish what you want, but keep it clean and respectful. Don't spam, don't steal, and don't be offensive. We'll remove content that breaks these rules. Your shaders stay yours, but you grant us and other users a perpetual license to use, host, and display them inside the app (even if you delete your profile).
