Terms of Use

Welcome to AniClips. These Terms of Use explain the rules that apply when you visit or use aniclips.site and its related features. By using the website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the service.

1. About AniClips

AniClips is an online library for discovering, previewing, and accessing short clips from anime and related animated media. It is designed to make it easier for editors and fans to locate specific moments without having to search through entire episodes manually.

AniClips is a clip-discovery and editing utility. It is not intended to replace official releases, streaming services, or the original works from which clips may originate.

2. Permitted Uses

Subject to applicable law and these terms, AniClips is intended to support uses such as:

• Creating anime edits, AMVs, and other fan-made creative works.
• Adding original editing, commentary, criticism, review, analysis, or educational context to clips.
• Personal creative projects and legitimate community activities.
• Other uses that comply with applicable law and the rights of relevant copyright holders.

These examples describe the intended purpose of the library. They do not mean that every use labelled an “edit,” “fan work,” or “community use” is automatically lawful. Whether a particular use is permitted depends on the facts and applicable law.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not use AniClips to deliberately infringe copyright or to facilitate unauthorized redistribution. In particular, you must not:

• Redistribute clips for commercial gain as standalone media. Do not sell, license, bundle, or commercially distribute clips obtained from AniClips as a substitute for the original content or as a standalone clip collection.
• Mirror or clone the library. Do not copy, scrape, download, or rehost a substantial part of the collection to build a competing library, archive, or redistribution service.
• Deliberately facilitate infringement. Do not use the service as a tool to knowingly obtain, distribute, or exploit copyrighted material without authorization.
• Misrepresent ownership. Do not claim that you own third-party anime footage, music, characters, or other intellectual property simply because you accessed it through AniClips.
• Abuse or disrupt the service. Do not interfere with website security, bypass technical restrictions, overload the service, or use automation in a way that materially disrupts normal operation.

Editing versus redistribution

The point of these restrictions is to distinguish using a clip as material for a creative work from exploiting the library as a source of media for resale or rehosting.

For example, incorporating a short clip into an edit with your own creative contributions is an intended use. Selling a folder of downloaded clips or rehosting AniClips' collection as a competing paid library is not.

Adding minimal changes does not automatically make redistribution permissible. Likewise, monetizing an original edit does not automatically make it lawful or unlawful. Copyright exceptions and permissions depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

Nothing in these terms grants you ownership of third-party material or permission beyond any rights you already have under law or an applicable license.

4. Copyright and Third-Party Ownership

AniClips does not claim ownership of anime episodes, animation, characters, music, trademarks, or other third-party intellectual property merely because related clips are accessible through the website. Rights remain with their respective owners or licensors.

AniClips does not guarantee that every item is authorized by its rights holder or that every possible use of a clip is legally permitted. Users are responsible for ensuring that their own use complies with applicable law, including any permissions, licenses, or copyright exceptions that may apply.

5. Copyright Complaints and Removal Requests

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative and believe material accessible through AniClips infringes your rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section.

To help us review your request, please provide:

• Your name and reliable contact information.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you own or represent.
• The specific AniClips URL or enough information to identify the material in question.
• An explanation of your rights and why you believe the material infringes them.
• Confirmation that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to submit the request.

We may request further information, review the complaint, and remove or disable access to identified material where appropriate. We may also restrict access or take other reasonable action in response to repeat or serious violations.

A complaint does not guarantee a particular outcome. We may reject requests that are incomplete, unsupported, or abusive. Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available under applicable law.

6. Availability and Third-Party Services

AniClips may depend on third-party hosting, content delivery, storage, and other infrastructure. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent access to a particular clip, or error-free operation. Features or content may change, become unavailable, or be removed without notice.

External links and third-party services may be provided for convenience. AniClips does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, availability, or operation of services it does not operate.

7. Disclaimer

AniClips is provided on an “as available” basis, to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, that every item will remain accessible, or that all third-party material will be free from disputes.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits a warranty, right, or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable law.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, AniClips and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from use of the website, including losses caused by temporary outages, unavailable content, or failures of third-party services.

This section does not exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded, or override mandatory legal protections that apply to you.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms when AniClips, its features, or applicable legal requirements change. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated effective date. Where legally recognized, continued use of the website after changes take effect means you accept the revised terms.
