CapCut, terms of service

1What “you warrant you hold the rights” means here
An express warranty is a promise the tool relies on without checking it. If it proves untrue, the claim lands on the person who made it. For a book, that means settling the copyright question and the edition question before the first upload.
2Other tools with this reading
Animaker, Descript, Fliki, HeyGen, Higgsfield, invideo, Krea, Luma, MagicLight, OpenArt, Runway and SceneMixer have the same reading, which makes 13 of the 24 tools.
Terms of service change without notice, so the current version on the tool's site governs.
3Why it matters for a book
For a book, the promise covers the text itself. If the novel is still in copyright where you work, or the edition you copied carries restrictions of its own, the promise is broken the moment the file goes up, whatever the tool does with it afterwards.
