Camera-use terms

Review Sony’s warranty condition and use restrictions

Sony’s software terms state that a camera used or controlled through this application falls outside the manufacturer warranty Sony separately specifies for that camera. This is Sony’s stated condition, not a determination of any individual warranty claim. Rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law are unaffected.

Do not use Clip Relay, its included Sony software, or connected devices to design, develop, manufacture, customize, use, install, inspect, or store arms; transport explosives, chemical or biological weapons, or other harmful items; or conduct military intelligence, surveillance, or reconnaissance. Do not transfer Clip Relay to anyone intending these uses. Arms include guns (including hunting and sporting guns), their sights, weapons, and specially designed components or control software, as defined in Sony’s terms. Read Sony’s terms.

Clip Relay is developed and supported by Rapture Applications Corporation, not Sony. Contact our support team.

I have read and accept the camera-use terms, including Sony’s warranty condition and use restrictions.
