Terms of Service

Last updated: [DATE]

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Scriptube, a YouTube transcript extraction service operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [ADDRESS], governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION] ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using Scriptube, you agree to these Terms.

1. The Service

Scriptube extracts transcripts from YouTube videos — single videos, playlists, and channels — using captions published by YouTube, with optional translation and (where available) AI transcription for videos without captions. Access is via our dashboard or REST API.

2. Accounts

You must provide a valid email address and verify it to unlock full use of the service. You are responsible for keeping your password and any API keys confidential. We may suspend or ban accounts that abuse the service or violate these Terms.

3. Plans, Credits & Billing

Scriptube is billed on a credit system. Paid plans include a monthly credit allowance that resets each billing cycle and does not roll over. Credit packs purchased separately never expire. Subscriptions are billed in advance and you may cancel at any time; you keep access until the end of the current billing period. Payments are processed by Stripe — see Section 6.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Scriptube in a way that respects the rights of the creators whose videos you process and YouTube's own Terms of Service. You may not use the service to infringe copyright, harass creators, or circumvent YouTube's access controls. We do not provide legal advice on what you may do with extracted transcripts — that determination is yours.

5. Data We Store

To provide the service we store: your account data (email address, a hashed password — never the password itself), the batches and transcripts you process, and your usage history. See our Privacy Policy for details on how this data is handled.

6. Payments

All payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details on our servers. Stripe's own terms and privacy policy govern the payment information you provide to them.

7. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting support@scriptube.me.

8. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

Scriptube is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. Transcript accuracy depends on the source captions or AI transcription and is not guaranteed. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of Scriptube after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
