Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you and YouTube Writer ("YouTube Writer", "we", "us" or "our") and govern your access to and use of the youtubewriter.com website, the YouTube Writer application, and all related features, content and services (together, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing the Service, clicking to accept these Terms, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the documents incorporated into them by reference: our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Refund and Cancellation Policy, Copyright and DMCA Policy and Disclaimer. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization or other legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.

2. Eligibility

To use the Service you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if that age is higher, and capable of forming a binding contract. The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly permit anyone under 13 to create an account.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, including if you are located in, organized under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a country or territory subject to comprehensive United States economic sanctions, or if you appear on any United States government list of restricted or prohibited parties. You represent and warrant that none of these apply to you.

We may refuse, suspend or terminate service to anyone at our discretion, to the extent permitted by law.

3. The Service

YouTube Writer is a software tool that uses third-party artificial intelligence models to generate draft scripts for video content based on inputs you supply, such as a topic, niche, tone, target audience, video length and keywords. The Service also stores the drafts you generate so you can review, edit, copy and, on paid plans, export them.

The Service is provided as software only. We do not write, review, verify, fact-check, edit or approve the output. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing and deciding whether to publish or otherwise use any output. See our Disclaimer for the specific limits of what AI-generated output is and is not.

We are continually developing the Service. We may add, change, suspend or discontinue any feature, model, plan or limit at any time. Where a change materially reduces the functionality of a paid plan you are currently subscribed to, we will give you reasonable advance notice by email and you may cancel under Section 13.

The Service depends on third-party providers, including the AI model provider that generates output and the payment processor that handles billing. Their availability is outside our control, and interruptions or changes to their services may affect the Service.

4. Accounts and Security

You need an account to use most of the Service. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information when registering and to keep it up to date.

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized it. You agree to:

• choose a strong, unique password and keep it confidential;
• not share your account, credentials or access with any other person;
• not create an account by automated means, or create multiple accounts to evade plan limits, quotas, suspensions or bans;
• notify us immediately at support@youtubewriter.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

We are not liable for any loss arising from unauthorized use of your account. We may require you to reset your password or take other steps we consider necessary to protect the Service or other users.

One account is for one person or one entity. Paid plan quotas are allocated to the account and may not be pooled, resold, shared or transferred except as expressly permitted by your plan.

5. Plans, Quotas and Fair Use

The Service is offered on a free plan and on paid subscription plans. The features, monthly generation quotas and prices for each plan are described on our Pricing page, which is incorporated into these Terms.

Generation quotas are counted per calendar month and reset at the start of each month. Unused generations do not carry over. Quotas are a technical limit on the Service, not a guarantee that any particular number of generations will succeed, and a request that has been processed may consume a generation even if you are not satisfied with the result.

We may apply rate limits, queueing and other technical safeguards to protect the Service and to ensure fair access for all users. We may suspend or throttle accounts whose usage patterns are abusive, automated, or materially disproportionate, including any attempt to circumvent quotas or to resell access.

6. Subscriptions, Billing and Automatic Renewal

Recurring charges

By subscribing to a paid plan you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method the then-current plan fee, plus any applicable taxes, on a recurring basis for each billing period (monthly unless stated otherwise at checkout), until you cancel. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period at the then-current price for your plan.

Free trials

Where a free trial is offered, the trial length and conditions are stated at sign-up. Unless the offer states otherwise, if you provide a payment method and do not cancel before the trial ends, the trial converts to a paid subscription and the first charge is applied at that time. One trial per person or entity. We may withdraw or limit trial eligibility at any time.

Payment processing

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not receive or store your full card number, expiry date or security code. Your use of payment services is also subject to the processor terms and privacy policy. You agree to keep your billing information accurate and to maintain a valid payment method.

Failed payments

If a charge fails, we and our processor may retry it. We may suspend or downgrade your access to paid features until payment succeeds. You remain responsible for amounts owed, and we may recover reasonable costs of collection permitted by law.

Taxes

Stated prices exclude taxes unless indicated otherwise. You are responsible for all sales, use, value-added, goods-and-services, withholding and similar taxes and duties, excluding taxes on our net income. Where we are required to collect such taxes, they will be added to your charge.

Price changes

We may change our prices. For an existing paid subscription, we will give you at least 30 days notice by email before a price increase takes effect. The new price applies from your next billing period after the notice period. If you do not accept the new price you may cancel before it takes effect; continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.

Cancellation and refunds

Cancellation, the effect of cancelling, and the circumstances in which refunds are and are not available are set out in our Refund and Cancellation Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

Chargebacks

If you dispute a charge with your bank or card issuer without first contacting us at support@youtubewriter.com to attempt resolution, we may suspend or terminate your account and recover the disputed amount and any related fees, to the extent permitted by law.

7. Your Content and Generated Output

Definitions

"Input" means anything you submit to the Service, including topics, niches, keywords, audience descriptions, notes, edits and uploaded files such as a profile image. "Output" means the material the Service generates in response to your Input. "Your Content" means your Input and your Output together.

You own your content

You retain all rights you have in your Input. As between you and us, and subject to your compliance with these Terms and payment of any applicable fees, we assign to you and do not claim ownership of the Output generated for your account. You are free to use, edit, publish, monetize and commercialize the Output, including for commercial purposes.

Limits on what ownership means

You acknowledge the following important limits, which arise from the nature of generative AI and from copyright law, and which we cannot change:

• Output is not guaranteed to be unique. The Service is used by many people, and similar Input can produce similar or identical Output for different users. We do not warrant that your Output is original, novel or exclusive to you, and we grant no exclusivity in it.
• Output may not be copyrightable. Under current United States law, material generated by artificial intelligence without sufficient human authorship may not be eligible for copyright protection. Your ability to register or enforce copyright in Output is not something we can guarantee.
• Output may resemble third-party material. You are responsible for confirming that your use of Output does not infringe the copyright, trademark, publicity, privacy or other rights of any third party, and does not breach the rules of any platform on which you publish it.
• Output is not verified. Output may be inaccurate, misleading, outdated or entirely fabricated. See our Disclaimer.

Licence you grant to us

You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display and create technical modifications of Your Content solely to the extent necessary to: operate, provide, secure and support the Service for you; transmit your Input to our AI model provider to generate Output; comply with law; and enforce these Terms. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted, except for retained backups and where we must retain it by law, as described in our Privacy Policy.

We do not use Your Content to train our own AI models. We do not sell Your Content. We do not publish Your Content or make it available to other users.

Your responsibilities and warranties

You represent and warrant that:

• you own or have all rights and permissions necessary to submit your Input and to grant the licence above;
• your Input and your use of Output comply with these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy and all applicable laws;
• your Input does not contain the personal information of any third party unless you have a lawful basis to provide it, and does not contain sensitive personal information, payment card data, health records or government identifiers;
• you will review and, where required, disclose the use of AI in content you publish, in accordance with the rules of the platform you publish on and any applicable law.

Storage is not a backup service

The Service stores the scripts you generate as a convenience. It is not a backup, archival or records-retention service. You should keep your own copies of anything you need. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the deletion, corruption or unavailability of Your Content.

8. Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms and sets out the content you may not generate and the conduct that is prohibited.

Without limiting that policy, you agree not to:

• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the source code, models, prompts or underlying technology of the Service, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• access the Service by any automated means, including scraping, crawling or bots, other than through an interface we expressly provide for that purpose;
• resell, sublicense, rent, lease or provide the Service to third parties as a competing or substantially similar service, or use it to build a competing product or to train a machine learning model;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent any quota, rate limit, paywall, access control, security measure or content filter;
• probe, scan, penetration-test or interfere with the integrity, security or performance of the Service or the infrastructure it runs on;
• remove, obscure or alter any proprietary notice, or misrepresent your relationship with us.

You may report suspected abuse to abuse@youtubewriter.com.

9. Our Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, source code, design, user interface, text, graphics, logos, prompt engineering, compilations and all related intellectual property, is owned by YouTube Writer or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to access and use the Service for its intended purpose, for the duration of your account. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The YouTube Writer name and logo are our marks. You may not use them without our prior written permission, except to refer factually to the Service.

Third-party names and marks referred to in the Service, including YouTube and Google, are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only. See Section 11.

Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use and exploit it for any purpose without obligation, attribution or compensation to you. Please do not send us anything you consider confidential.

10. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service integrates third-party services in order to function, including an AI model provider, a payment processor, an email delivery provider, a bot-protection provider, and hosting and database providers. We also run our own self-hosted, cookieless analytics. These providers and the data shared with them are described in our Privacy Policy.

Your Input is transmitted to our AI model provider to generate Output. By using the generation features you consent to that transmission.

The Service may link to third-party websites and resources. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, policies, availability or practices, and linking does not imply endorsement. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

11. No Affiliation with YouTube, Google or Other Platforms

YouTube, Google and all related names, marks and logos are trademarks of Google LLC. Any reference to them in the Service or in these Terms is descriptive and nominative only, to identify the platform for which the Service helps you draft content.

Your use of any third-party platform is governed by that platform’s own terms, policies and community guidelines. You are solely responsible for ensuring that content you publish there, including content derived from Output, complies with those rules, including any requirement to disclose synthetic or AI-generated media. We are not responsible for any action a platform takes against your account or content, including removal, demonetization, restriction, strikes or termination.

12. Privacy and Data Protection

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy. By using the Service you acknowledge that you have read them.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of any personal information you include in your Input. Do not submit personal information about third parties unless you have a lawful basis to do so, and do not submit sensitive categories of data.

13. Suspension and Termination

By you

You may stop using the Service at any time. You may cancel a paid subscription, and delete your account, as described in our Refund and Cancellation Policy and from your account settings.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if:

• you breach these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy or any other incorporated policy;
• you fail to pay amounts due;
• we reasonably believe your use creates a legal, security, reputational or operational risk to us, to other users or to a third party;
• we are required to do so by law or by a provider on which the Service depends;
• you are a repeat copyright infringer under our Copyright and DMCA Policy;
• we discontinue the Service or your plan.

Where the reason for suspension or termination is not a material or repeated breach, an illegal act, or a risk requiring immediate action, we will give you reasonable notice and, where appropriate, an opportunity to remedy.

Effect of termination

On termination your right to use the Service ends immediately. We may delete your account and Your Content. Export anything you want to keep before terminating. Refund treatment on termination is governed by the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 7, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment, accuracy and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing, usage or trade practice.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty and give no undertaking that:

• the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free or free of harmful components;
• any Output will be accurate, complete, current, lawful, original, unique, copyrightable, fit for your purpose or suitable for publication;
• the Service will produce any particular result, including any level of views, engagement, subscribers, revenue, ranking or performance;
• defects will be corrected, or that the Service will remain compatible with any third-party platform, model or service;
• stored content will be preserved or recoverable.

The Service does not provide professional advice of any kind. See our Disclaimer for further detail.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions the exclusions above apply only to the fullest extent permitted, and you may have additional rights that these Terms cannot limit.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and except as stated in the final paragraph of this Section:

1. neither YouTube Writer nor its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, content, opportunity, anticipated savings or reputation, whether or not foreseeable and whether the claim arises in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages;
2. our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the first such claim, or (b) US$100.

These limitations apply to all claims in the aggregate, not per incident, and they apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. The allocation of risk in this Section is an essential basis of the bargain between us and is reflected in the pricing of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for gross negligence or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability; in those jurisdictions our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless YouTube Writer and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers and licensors from and against any claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to:

• your Input, your Output, or any content you publish, distribute or monetize;
• your use of the Service, including any use in breach of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy;
• your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity or contractual rights;
• any dispute between you and a third party, including a platform, client, employer or audience member;
• your breach of any representation or warranty in these Terms.

We will notify you of any claim for which we seek indemnification and may, at our option, control its defence with counsel of our choosing at your expense. You may not settle any claim in a way that imposes any obligation or admission on us without our prior written consent. You will cooperate reasonably in the defence of any claim.

17. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Informal resolution first

Before starting an arbitration or other proceeding, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief you seek to legal@youtubewriter.com. We will do the same for any dispute we have with you. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for at least sixty (60) days from the date of the notice. This step is a condition precedent to commencing arbitration, and the applicable limitations period is tolled while it runs.

Agreement to arbitrate

If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, including its formation, interpretation, breach, termination, enforceability or validity, will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, and not in a court of law, except as stated under "Exceptions" below.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, or its Commercial Arbitration Rules where you are a business, as then in effect, and will be seated in Florida, United States, before a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve all issues of arbitrability, except that a court has exclusive authority to decide the enforceability of the class action waiver below. The arbitrator may award any relief available in an individual action in court under applicable law, and the award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Unless the arbitrator determines a claim was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, and to the extent AAA rules or applicable law require, we will pay the arbitration filing, administration and arbitrator fees for consumer claims. Each party otherwise bears its own legal fees unless a statute or the arbitrator provides otherwise. You may choose to participate in the hearing by telephone or video, or on documents only where the rules permit.

Class action and jury trial waiver

You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, representative or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. You and we waive any right to a trial by jury. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in a court of competent jurisdiction, and the remainder will proceed in arbitration.

Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may:

• bring an individual action in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court;
• seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Service;
• file a complaint with a government agency or regulator, which nothing in these Terms prevents.

Your right to opt out (30 days)

You may reject this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to legal@youtubewriter.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email address on your account, and a clear statement that you decline to arbitrate. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other part of these Terms, and we will not retaliate against you for opting out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court as described in Section 18.

Changes to this section

If we make a material change to this Section, you may reject the change by written notice within 30 days, in which case the most recent version you accepted will apply to disputes that had already arisen.

Time limit

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after it arose, or it is permanently barred.

18. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, excluding its conflict of law rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 17, you and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Florida for any dispute not subject to arbitration, and each party waives any objection to venue or to the convenience of that forum.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction whose law grants you the protection of mandatory local consumer rules, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of those rules or of the right to bring proceedings in the courts of your place of residence where local law so provides.

19. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, give you reasonable advance notice by email to the address on your account or by a prominent notice in the Service before the change takes effect.

Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service and may cancel your subscription under the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Changes do not apply retroactively to a dispute that arose before the change.

20. General Provisions

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or if that is not possible, severed. The remaining provisions continue in full force.

No waiver

Our failure or delay in enforcing any provision is not a waiver of it. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by us.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets. Any attempted assignment in breach of this provision is void.

Force majeure

Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, epidemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labour dispute, government action, utility or telecommunications failure, internet or hosting outage, cyberattack, or the failure or discontinuation of a third-party provider on which the Service depends.

Relationship of the parties

Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, employment or fiduciary relationship between you and us. Neither party has authority to bind the other.

No third-party beneficiaries

These Terms confer no rights or remedies on any person other than you and us, except that the disclaimers, limitations of liability and indemnities extend to our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers and licensors.

Notices

We may give you notice by email to the address on your account, by posting in the Service, or by any other reasonable means. Notice is effective on sending. You must send notices to us at legal@youtubewriter.com, and for notices requiring physical delivery, to the postal address in Section 21.

Export and government use

You agree to comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws. The Service is a commercial item; any use by or for a United States government entity is subject to no greater rights than those granted to other users.

Language and interpretation

These Terms are drafted in English, and the English version prevails over any translation. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation". These Terms will not be construed against the drafting party.

Survival

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those on content licences, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution and governing law.
