1. About the service
Clip Operations is the product name for HypeCircuit’s clip-review dashboard. “Operator” means the person or organization that deploys and controls the service. This draft does not identify, establish, or claim a separate legal entity.
The service is currently a public sandbox prototype. It uses fictional clips, seeded candidate signals, vertical preview placeholders, and disabled delivery records. Its Twitch/Kick discovery creates local watchlist records only; it does not query or follow platform accounts. No live polling, webhook subscription, recording, media retrieval, inference against a stream, upload, or publication is active.
A separate, restricted TikTok Login Kit Sandbox path may be available to an allowlisted operator using only basic profile access. Its live non-sensitive status is shown in the dashboard. It does not enable content posting.
2. Approval-first operation
The intended service may identify and prepare a candidate draft only from an activated, authorized source, but a designated person must make the final decision. No candidate should be delivered to a social platform until the operator confirms the clip, caption, destination, rights record, and applicable safety checks. The current deployment simulates detection with seeded aggregate signals and does not process real creator media.
A quality score never overrides source authorization, intellectual-property rights, platform rules, creator restrictions, revocation, or safety policy. Human approval creates only a locked future-delivery record in the current prototype.
3. Authorized use and accounts
You may use the dashboard only if the operator has invited or authorized you. You must protect your access, provide accurate information, and use the service only for lawful business purposes. You may not probe, bypass, or interfere with access controls, safety gates, approval records, or publishing restrictions.
Any future TikTok connection must be authorized by the relevant TikTok account holder through TikTok’s own consent flow. Creator permission to reuse footage does not automatically authorize publishing to a creator’s social account.
4. Creator rights and permissions
Only footage covered by a verified permission or other valid rights basis may be processed. A typed handle or “Follow for clips” record is not permission. Before activation, the operator must verify the relevant agreement record, exact platform identity, permitted source use, commercial-use scope, destination accounts, territory, term, expiry, and revocation method.
If authorization is withdrawn, expires, or becomes uncertain, live checks, collection, new processing, and publishing must stop. The operator must maintain a reviewable record of permission and each final publishing decision.
5. Prohibited and restricted content
The service must not be used to publish unlawful, deceptive, exploitative, or rights-infringing content. The product’s hard gates include:
- no gambling promo codes, affiliate calls to action, deposit inducements, guaranteed-win claims, or underage-targeted gambling content;
- no third-party sports, tournament, film, music, or broadcast footage without documented rights;
- no doxxing, graphic harm, credible threats, sexual content involving minors, or other high-risk sensitive content; and
- no destination or commercial use outside the verified creator permission profile.
Flagged content may require editing, additional evidence, rejection, or escalation. The final approver remains responsible for the decision.
6. TikTok integration
The dashboard contains a restricted Sandbox Login Kit authorization flow using only user.info.basic. Its start requires a signed-in, allowlisted dashboard operator and explicit server configuration. The callback validates one-time anti-forgery state, exchanges the code only on the server, rejects unexpected scopes, verifies the TikTok account identity, and encrypts access and refresh tokens before storage. The operator may re-verify or disconnect the account; disconnect deletes local tokens immediately and requests remote revocation.
No upload, Direct Post, or public posting capability is active. Any future scope expansion requires a separate product decision and TikTok approval. video.upload and video.publish remain disabled.
7. Service changes and availability
The sandbox prototype may change, pause, or be withdrawn. Production service levels, warranties, indemnities, liability limits, payment terms, governing law, and venue have not been established in this draft and must be completed by the operator, with legal review, before a public commercial launch.
8. Suspension and termination
The operator may suspend access or stop a delivery when permission, security, safety, platform compliance, or account authorization is missing or disputed. A TikTok user may revoke the application’s access through TikTok. Revocation must stop new TikTok actions and trigger deletion or invalidation of stored authorization tokens according to the verified retention policy.
9. Contact
A dedicated public legal or support address has not yet been published. During the current prototype stage, contact the person or workspace channel that provided access. Do not send credentials, access tokens, private creator agreements, or other sensitive data through an unverified contact channel.
