2 Description of Service
ClawGrab is a web-based tool that extracts text transcripts and captions from publicly-accessible video content on platforms including YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter/X, Vimeo, and others.
The Service returns text data (transcripts, captions, subtitles) from videos at URLs you provide. ClawGrab does not:
- Download or store video files
- Host or redistribute video content
- Bypass DRM (Digital Rights Management) systems
- Access private or password-protected content
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU) to use ClawGrab. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
The Service is available worldwide where not prohibited by applicable law. You are responsible for compliance with local laws in your jurisdiction.
4 User Accounts
Creating an account is optional for basic use. If you create an account:
- You must provide accurate and complete information
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password
- You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
- You may not share your account credentials with others
- You may not create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
5 Subscriptions & Billing
Transcripts are free on every account (a free account can make up to 1,000 a month). A free account also includes 5 AI outputs a month. ClawGrab Pro costs $12 per month, billed through Stripe, for unlimited AI outputs. Pro renews automatically each month on the day you subscribed, at the price shown when you subscribed (unless we change it as described below), until you cancel. Reasonable-use limits may apply to protect the service from abuse.
We will email subscribers at least 14 days before any price change to an existing plan. No charge will ever be made unless you have actively subscribed to Pro.
Subscribers: your subscription is managed through Stripe and you can view invoices, update your payment method, or cancel at any time from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Pro until then and are not charged again.
Refunds: if you were charged in error or have a problem with a charge, email hello@getclawgrab.com within 30 days and we will review it. If a full refund is issued, Pro access ends and the subscription is cancelled.
Questions about billing: hello@getclawgrab.com.
