Terms of Service
1. Provider and scope
TubeMakers is provided by Reconnector Consulting Services LLC, 750 E Cowboy Way, Suite 3, LaBelle, FL 33935 (“TubeMakers”, “we”). These terms govern registration, access and use of the website tubemakers.net and the web application at https://app.tubemakers.net.
2. Service
TubeMakers provides analytics, research, planning and production features for YouTube creators and their authorised teams. This may include speech synthesis through a provider selected by the customer. Scope, conditions, availability and support follow from the respective agreement with the customer.
Pilot phase. TubeMakers is in a closed pilot phase. Participation is by invitation only; there is no free trial. For pilot customers:
- Pilot customers get access to the features at their current stage of development. Scope, interfaces and workflows may change without prior notice; individual features may be limited, suspended or removed.
- The conditions of pilot participation are agreed individually. Pilot customers provide feedback on usage, errors and suggestions where possible; we may use this feedback for further development.
- Either party may end pilot participation at any time with 14 days’ notice. We may end the pilot phase altogether or transfer it into a regular offer; we will announce the applicable price list at least 30 days in advance. Continued use after the pilot phase requires acceptance of the price list.
- After the end of pilot participation, access and data are handled according to section 10.
3. Google and YouTube terms
When using the YouTube features, the YouTube Terms of Service and the applicable Google and YouTube policies apply in addition. How TubeMakers processes YouTube data is described in the Privacy Policy; the Google Privacy Policy applies as well.
If the user selects Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, TubeMakers uses a Google Cloud project specified by the user and, after separate Google consent, configures the required Text-to-Speech and Workload Identity connection there. The project, Google billing account and resulting Google charges are part of the contractual relationship between the user and Google. The user must maintain sufficient billing and quotas and be authorised to manage the project. TubeMakers stores neither a service-account key nor long-lived Cloud setup access.
4. Eligibility
TubeMakers is intended exclusively for business users, i.e. persons and companies acting in the course of their trade, business or profession, and their employees and agents. Consumers are excluded from use. By registering, the user confirms to act as a business user.
Users may connect or manage only channels they own or are expressly authorised to manage. Credentials must not be shared or misused. The user is responsible for all actions taken through their account.
5. TubeMakers analyses
Values labelled as TubeMakers analysis are calculated independently by TubeMakers and do not originate as such from YouTube. They are decision aids, not a guarantee of success.
6. Publishing on YouTube
TubeMakers performs no write actions on its users’ YouTube channels: the application does not upload videos, does not publish anything and does not change the visibility, playlists or metadata of a user’s channel. The user takes over drafts created by TubeMakers and publishes them directly on YouTube. The user is responsible for ensuring that published content complies with the YouTube Community Guidelines and applicable law.
7. Prohibited use
Prohibited are violations of law, circumvention of usage quotas, data retrieval outside the approved interfaces, sharing of credentials, manipulation of the platform and processing of third-party authorised data without permission.
8. Availability
We strive for continuous operation, announce planned maintenance in advance where possible and fix outages promptly. No specific availability is guaranteed – in particular during the pilot phase. Maintenance, interface changes, usage quotas, outages at Google/YouTube or other third-party providers and events beyond our control may temporarily limit or interrupt features; no claims against us arise from this.
9. Fees and term
Fees follow from the individual agreement with the customer; after the pilot phase the published TubeMakers price list applies. All prices are exclusive of any applicable taxes and duties. Charges incurred in the customer-owned Google Cloud project are billed by Google directly to the billing account selected by the customer and are not included in TubeMakers fees.
Contracts run for an indefinite period and are billed monthly. Either party may terminate at any time with effect from the end of the current billing month; termination may be given in text form (e.g. by e-mail). Fees already paid for the current month are not refunded. The right to terminate for cause without notice remains unaffected, in particular for violations of sections 4 or 7.
10. Termination and data
Access to the application ends with the end of the contract. Stored data is deleted according to the Privacy Policy and the page Delete your data: YouTube data authorised via Google within seven calendar days, and remaining account and workspace data including stored Google Cloud connection details within 30 days. Recovery after these periods is not possible. The user is responsible for exporting any results, drafts and analyses they need before the end of the contract. Deletion at TubeMakers does not change YouTube content and does not remove a customer-owned Google Cloud project or its resources.
11. Warranty, liability and governing law
Warranty. During the pilot phase TubeMakers is provided “as is” and at its current stage of development. We do not warrant that the application will be uninterrupted, error-free or fit for a particular purpose. TubeMakers analyses, suggestions and drafts are decision aids; no warranty is given for reach, views, revenue or any other results on YouTube.
User responsibility. The user is solely responsible for their content, their data, their channel, the review and publication of their videos, and compliance with YouTube’s policies and applicable law. The user indemnifies us against third-party claims arising from a breach of these obligations.
Limitation of liability. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, and where mandatory law so provides. In cases of ordinary negligence we are liable only for the breach of essential contractual obligations – obligations whose fulfilment is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract and on whose observance the user may regularly rely – and in such cases limited to the typical, foreseeable damage. Liability for ordinary negligence is capped at the fees paid by the user to us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, but no less than 100 US dollars. Any further liability is excluded, in particular for lost profits, loss of data after the end of the contract, suspensions or measures by YouTube or Google, and damages arising from the use of results of the application.
Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States of America, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory provisions of the law at the user’s seat that cannot be derogated from by agreement remain unaffected.
Changes. We may adapt these terms with effect for the future where this is necessary due to changes in law, changed features or changed requirements of Google/YouTube, and where this does not unreasonably disadvantage the user. We notify such changes by e-mail at least 30 days before they take effect; the user may terminate without notice until the effective date. Changes to essential contract terms – in particular scope of service, fees and liability – take effect only with the user’s express consent, which we obtain at the next sign-in.
