Welcome to YouTubeToTranscripts (the “Website”). By using the Website, you agree to the following terms and conditions. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, stop using the Website immediately.
Scope and Acceptance
When you visit the Website, enter a video link or videoId, view subtitles, use translation, or export features, you are bound by these Terms. We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the changes.

Content and Copyright
Subtitles and basic video information originate from publicly available content or endpoints of third-party platforms. Copyright remains with the original authors or rights holders. You must comply with copyright and license requirements when using subtitles and export files.
- The Website does not claim copyright or licenses over any third-party content.

- Output does not grant any license to third-party content; all rights are reserved by the original rights holders.
Third-party Services
The Website may access third-party services (such as YouTube and public translation endpoints) to enable features. Third parties have independent terms of service and privacy policies. You must comply with their rules when using third-party resources.
- We cannot control the availability, quality, or compliance of third-party services.
- You are solely responsible for evaluating and assuming any risks or losses caused by third-party services.

- Engage in unauthorized intrusion, probing, or reverse engineering of the Website or third-party services.
- Distribute malicious code, engage in fraud, harassment, or other unlawful activities.
- Use automated scripts to initiate high-frequency requests or scraping without moderation.
- Use exported content in any way that may harm others’ lawful rights and interests.
- Circumvent or disrupt rate limits, caching strategies, robots exclusion standards, or any technical anti-abuse measures.
Access and Rate Limits
To ensure stability, we may implement rate limiting, caching strategies, or anti-abuse measures. You agree not to circumvent or undermine these technical measures.
Disclaimer
- The Website is provided “as is” without warranties of continuity, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
- We are not liable for any direct or indirect losses arising from the use of the Website or third-party services.
- You understand and agree that subtitle content may be missing, erroneous, or inconsistent with the original video.
- Translation results may contain mistranslations, contextual deviations, or formatting inconsistencies.
- Output is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, copyright, compliance, or other professional advice.
- Beta or trial features may be unstable or subject to change at any time; results are not guaranteed.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any damages, losses, or expenses arising from your use or inability to use the Website is limited to the fees you paid to use the Website, if any.
In no event shall we be liable for lost profits, business interruption, data loss, or any indirect, incidental, or punitive damages.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms, laws, or third-party rights, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs.
Security and Compliance
- Do not submit sensitive personal information or confidential data via inputs. You are responsible for the security of your local environment and devices.
- You agree to comply with applicable export controls, economic sanctions, and trade compliance requirements and not to use the Website for restricted countries, regions, or entities.
Changes and Interruptions
We may change, suspend, or terminate services without prior notice, including adjustments to features, interfaces, or access policies. You agree we are not liable for such actions.
If services become unavailable due to force majeure (including but not limited to natural disasters, war, government actions, network or power outages, or third-party failures), we assume no responsibility.
Privacy and Data Processing
See the “Privacy Policy” for how we handle data, caching, and logs. We adopt a minimal and non-persistent design to prioritize user privacy and service stability.
We may set a default time zone to avoid inconsistencies caused by environmental differences; this is a technical configuration.
Fees and Billing
The Website currently does not charge usage fees. If paid plans or premium features are introduced in the future, related pricing and billing terms will be announced separately. You may choose whether to subscribe or purchase.
Where paid features apply, you authorize us to interact with third-party payment services within the necessary scope to complete billing, subject to the terms announced at that time.
Compliance and Notices
If you believe a feature or generated content infringes your lawful rights, please notify us via the “Contact” entry or email. We will review and handle the matter within a reasonable time.
We may issue notices via prominent page announcements, version dates, or email. Continued use constitutes acknowledgment and agreement to related updates or notices.
Notice of Rights and Handling
When submitting a rights claim, provide proof of rights, the infringing link or content, your contact information, and your requested handling. We will review within a reasonable period and take appropriate measures (e.g., removal or access restrictions).
Termination
If you violate these Terms or abuse the Website, we may restrict or terminate your access at any time. Termination does not affect other rights or remedies we have under law or these Terms.
After termination, provisions that should reasonably survive (including but not limited to Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, and Dispute Resolution) will continue to apply.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by generally applicable legal principles. In case of disputes, parties should first seek amicable resolution; failing that, disputes are subject to adjudication by a court with jurisdiction. You agree to reasonably cooperate in the collection and provision of evidence and facts.
If there is any inconsistency among localized versions, the Chinese version prevails.
Severability and Non-Waiver
If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts remain in full force and effect.
Failure or delay in exercising any right does not constitute a waiver; a single waiver does not affect future exercise of that right.
Entire Agreement and Assignment
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Website and supersede any prior oral or written agreements.
You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations as permitted by law.
Updates to the Terms
We may update these Terms due to service changes or legal requirements. Updates will be communicated via prominent page notices or version date changes. Continued use of the Website constitutes agreement to the updated Terms.
