Corpus use terms & non-affiliation

Last updated 2026-05-30. These terms cover the corpus (the cited transcript snippets Oraclip returns). The connector code is separately MIT-licensed.

Non-affiliation. Oraclip is not affiliated with or endorsed by YC, a16z, Sequoia, Anthropic, or any named creator; channel names are used nominatively to attribute quotes. All rights in the underlying videos remain with their respective owners.

What Oraclip returns

Short, verbatim transcript snippets from publicly available operator videos, each with the speaker/channel, the date, and the canonical YouTube clip URL. Oraclip does not redistribute media (no audio or video files) — only capped transcript text plus links back to the source.

Use terms (apply to all tiers)

Returned corpus content is licensed for use, not ownership:

  1. No corpus redistribution. You may use returned snippets to ground and cite answers in your own workflows. You may not bulk-export, scrape, re-publish, resell, or redistribute the corpus or any substantial portion of it, nor use it to train or build a competing corpus or retrieval product.
  2. Attribution preserved. When a snippet is surfaced to an end user, the speaker/channel, date, and canonical YouTube link must be preserved. Stripping the citation is prohibited.
  3. No cap circumvention. You may not stitch multiple calls to reconstruct whole works or to exceed the per-work amount cap (at most a small number of short, capped snippets per video).
  4. Rights reservation. Oraclip asserts no ownership over the source works and serves them under a capped, cited, linked-back fair-use posture. The curation, embeddings, and ranking are Oraclip's.

Amount cap (enforced)

Responses serve at most a small number of short snippets, and at most one chunk per video per response, with a per-visitor per-video budget over a rolling window — so a transcript cannot be progressively reconstructed.
