Last updated: January 7, 2025

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using YTB Summary ("the Service"), including our Chrome extension and web application, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service. Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of any updates or modifications to these terms.

2. Description of the Service

YTB Summary provides AI-powered summarization of YouTube videos. The Service includes:

  • Chrome Extension: A browser extension that allows you to generate summaries directly from YouTube video pages.
  • Web Application: A dashboard for managing your account, subscription, and preferences.
  • AI Summarization: Automated generation of video summaries using artificial intelligence.
  • Clarification Questions: The ability to ask follow-up questions about generated summaries.

The Service relies on third-party data sources, including YouTube video transcripts and subtitles. We do not control the availability or accuracy of this third-party content, and the Service may not function properly if such data is unavailable.

3. Fair Use Policy & Usage Limits

All subscription plans, including those marketed as "Unlimited," are subject to our Fair Use Policy. This policy is designed to ensure service stability and fair access for all users.

"Unlimited summaries are subject to a fair use policy. A hard limit of 999 summaries per month applies to ensure service stability."

Fair use means using the Service as an individual for personal productivity purposes. The following are considered violations of our Fair Use Policy:

  • Generating summaries at a rate that significantly exceeds normal human usage patterns
  • Using automated tools, scripts, or bots to generate summaries
  • Sharing account credentials to circumvent individual usage limits
  • Any attempt to bypass, manipulate, or circumvent usage tracking systems

We reserve the right to enforce these limits and take action against accounts that violate this policy.

4. Prohibited Uses & Abuse Prevention

You agree not to use the Service for any of the following prohibited purposes:

  • Automated Abuse: Using bots, scripts, crawlers, or any automated means to access or interact with the Service
  • Mass Scraping: Systematically extracting data or content from the Service for commercial or competitive purposes
  • Account Sharing: Sharing your account credentials with others or allowing multiple users to access your subscription
  • Service Disruption: Attempting to overload, crash, or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the Service
  • Circumvention: Attempting to bypass security measures, usage limits, or payment requirements
  • Reselling: Reselling, redistributing, or commercially exploiting the Service or its outputs without authorization
  • Illegal Activities: Using the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws

We employ automated systems to detect and prevent abuse. Violations may result in immediate action, including rate limiting, account suspension, or termination.

5. Account Suspension & Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, without prior notice, for any of the following reasons:

  • Violation of these Terms of Service
  • Violation of the Fair Use Policy
  • Fraudulent activity or payment disputes
  • Abuse of the Service or its resources
  • Providing false information during registration
  • Any behavior that threatens the integrity of the Service

In case of termination for cause, no refund will be provided for any unused portion of your subscription. We may also pursue legal remedies for damages caused by prohibited activities.

6. Service Availability & No Guarantees

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

We do not guarantee:

  • Continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free operation of the Service
  • The accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any summaries generated
  • Compatibility with all videos or availability of transcripts
  • That the Service will meet your specific requirements or expectations

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. Scheduled maintenance and updates may temporarily affect availability.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, YTB Summary and its operators, affiliates, and partners shall not be liable for:

  • Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities
  • Decisions made or actions taken based on summaries generated by the Service
  • Service interruptions, downtime, or data loss
  • Inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in generated content
  • Third-party actions or content, including YouTube data availability

In no event shall our total liability exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, features, and technology, is owned by YTB Summary and protected by intellectual property laws. You may use summaries generated for personal purposes, but you may not claim ownership of the underlying technology or redistribute the Service itself. YouTube content remains the property of its respective owners.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We encourage you to review these terms periodically.
