Terms of service
Effective November 2, 2026
Cutroom is free, open-source software that you install and run yourself. These terms explain the rules for using it, including when you connect YouTube or TikTok.
The software and its license
Cutroom is published by Batuk under the MIT License. You may use, copy, modify and share it under that license. If these terms and the license differ on how you may use the code, the license applies.
Your content and your responsibility
- Only import, edit and post recordings you own or have permission to use. You are responsible for the clips you publish, including titles, descriptions and captions.
- AI suggestions, scores, titles and captions can be wrong. Review what Cutroom prepares before you rely on it, and turn off automatic posting if you want to check every clip first.
- Do not use Cutroom to post spam, to mislead viewers, or to infringe anyone's rights.
YouTube and TikTok
When you connect an account, you use that platform under its own terms, and you agree to follow them:
- YouTube Terms of Service and the YouTube Community Guidelines;
- TikTok Terms of Service and the TikTok Community Guidelines.
The platforms decide whether a post is accepted, how it is shown and whether it stays up. Upload limits, quotas and review rules are theirs, and they can change.
Other services
Optional features use services you choose, such as AI providers, Postiz or model downloads. Their terms and prices apply, and any API keys or subscriptions are yours.
No warranty
Cutroom is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. It is pre-1.0 software and may contain bugs. Keep your own copies of footage you care about.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, the publisher and contributors are not liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from your use of Cutroom, including lost footage, rejected or removed posts, account restrictions or charges from third-party services.
Changes
We may update these terms. The effective date above shows the latest version, and earlier versions remain in the project's public history on GitHub.
