Terms of Service

2. Description of the Services and Fair Use

CreatorKit provides free, browser-based analytical utilities for content creators. The Earnings Calculator produces modelled revenue estimates derived from public RPM benchmarks, audience geography, video duration, retention assumptions, and content-category multipliers. The Channel, Competitor, and Thumbnail modules retrieve and present exclusively public YouTube metadata obtained through the official YouTube Data API v3. The Services require no user account and are subject to reasonable, proportionate fair-use and rate limitations designed to preserve availability, prevent abuse, and control infrastructure costs. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and at any time, to modify, throttle, suspend, or discontinue any feature, in whole or in part, with or without prior notice. No service-level commitment, uptime warranty, or archival obligation is undertaken.

3. Eligibility, Access, and Your Responsibilities

You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age, or the higher minimum age required in your jurisdiction, to use the Services. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your devices, browsers, and network connections, and for all activity conducted through them. You agree to provide only lawful, accurate inputs; to refrain from submitting private, non-public, or third-party personal information that you have no right to disclose; and to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and third-party terms, including the YouTube Terms of Service. Any use of the Services in a manner that violates these Terms is strictly unauthorised and may result in restriction or termination of access.

4. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

You covenant to use the Services lawfully, respectfully, and strictly for their intended analytical purposes. Without limitation, you shall not, nor permit any third party to:

• Engage in automated scraping, bulk harvesting, systematic extraction, or any circumvention of rate limits, access controls, or security measures, including the deployment of bots, crawlers, or scripts without our prior written consent.
• Infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or proprietary rights, including by re-uploading, redistributing, or commercially exploiting other creators’ thumbnails, artwork, footage, or metadata as your own.
• Introduce malicious code, attempt to probe, disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to our systems, or interfere with any other party’s use of the Services.
• Misrepresent modelled estimates as official YouTube, Google, or AdSense figures, or employ results to deceive sponsors, networks, partners, audiences, or authorities.
• Use the Services for any unlawful, defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable purpose, or in connection with confidential, unlisted, or non-public materials without proper authorisation.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services — including all software, algorithms, designs, text, graphics, logos (including the CreatorKit mark), layout, and compilation — are and shall remain the exclusive property of CreatorKit and its licensors, protected under applicable copyright, trademark, database, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Services strictly for personal, non-commercial, analytical purposes. No rights are assigned or transferred. You shall not copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except to the narrow extent such restriction is prohibited by mandatory law. All third-party trademarks, including YouTube and Google marks, remain the property of their respective owners, and no endorsement or affiliation is implied.

6. Third-Party Content, YouTube API Services, and External Links

Certain features are powered by YouTube API Services and by independent content delivery networks. Analyses are performed exclusively on public metadata; we neither host nor control YouTube content, and we assume no responsibility for its accuracy, availability, or legality. Your use of API-powered features remains subject at all times to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Thumbnails and metadata of third parties retrieved through the Services are provided solely for research, commentary, and inspiration, and confer no licence to reproduce or commercially exploit such materials. External hyperlinks are offered for convenience only and do not signify endorsement; we disclaim all liability for third-party sites, advertisements (including Google AdSense inventory), and services.

7. Estimates, No Professional Advice, and Warranty Disclaimer

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event shall CreatorKit, its operators, contributors, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or anticipated savings — arising out of or in connection with your access to, use of, inability to use, or reliance upon the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent liability cannot be excluded under mandatory law, our aggregate liability for all claims arising from the Services shall in no event exceed the greater of (a) the amount, if any, actually paid by you to CreatorKit in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim (the Services being presently free of charge, this amount is ordinarily zero), or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100). Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited by law. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions; in such cases, the exclusions apply to the minimum extent required.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CreatorKit and its officers, directors, contributors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to (a) your use or misuse of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law or third-party right; (c) any content, data, or materials you submit; or (d) decisions, representations, or transactions you undertake in reliance on estimates or analyses. We reserve the right to assume exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which event you shall cooperate fully.

10. Suspension, Termination, and Governing Provisions

We may, without prior notice and at our sole discretion, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, for any violation of these Terms, for abusive or unlawful conduct, for operational or security reasons, or for prolonged inactivity. Upon termination, the licence granted herein ceases immediately, while Sections 5 through 12 survive. These Terms, and any dispute arising hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with generally recognised principles of international commercial practice, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and subject to any mandatory consumer protections of your habitual residence. You agree to seek amicable resolution first by contacting support@creatorkit.xyz and allowing thirty (30) days for good-faith negotiation before pursuing any formal remedy. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed with the remaining provisions continuing in full force.

11. Amendments, Entire Agreement, and Contact

We may revise these Terms to reflect legal, technical, or commercial developments. Material revisions shall be announced by updating the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, by displaying a conspicuous notice on the homepage for a minimum of fourteen (14) days prior to effectiveness. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes irrevocable acceptance of the revised Terms. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CreatorKit concerning the Services and supersede all prior understandings. No waiver, assignment by you without our consent, or third-party beneficiary right is conferred. For questions concerning these Terms, for complaints, or for legal notices, our exclusive contact address is support@creatorkit.xyz, supplemented by the contact page. We endeavour to respond to all substantive correspondence within thirty (30) days.
