Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using TubeCommand ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Description of Service
TubeCommand is a self-hosted YouTube channel management platform that allows users to connect YouTube channels via the YouTube Data API v3, automate uploads, manage metadata, captions, playlists, comments, and view analytics across multiple channels from a single dashboard.
3. Account Registration
To use the Service, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use TubeCommand only for lawful purposes and in compliance with YouTube's Terms of Service, Google API Terms of Service, and all applicable laws. Specifically, you agree NOT to:
- Use the Service to artificially inflate views, subscribers, or engagement
- Upload content that infringes on third-party intellectual property rights
- Use automated features to spam, harass, or deceive YouTube users
- Attempt to circumvent YouTube's Terms of Service or API usage policies
- Share your account credentials with unauthorised parties
- Use the Service to manage channels you do not own or have authorisation to manage
- Reverse engineer, modify, or redistribute the Service's source code without permission
5. YouTube API Compliance
TubeCommand interacts with YouTube through official API endpoints. By connecting your YouTube channels, you authorise TubeCommand to access and manage your channel data within the scopes you grant during the OAuth consent process. You may revoke access at any time through your Google Account settings.
6. Data and Privacy
TubeCommand is self-hosted software. Your data, including OAuth tokens and analytics, is stored on your own server infrastructure. We do not collect, store, or have access to your YouTube data or credentials. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
7. Payment and Subscriptions
Certain features may require a paid subscription. Prices are displayed on our pricing page and are subject to change with 30 days' notice. Subscriptions are billed monthly. You may cancel at any time, and your access will continue until the end of your billing period.
8. Service Availability
We strive to provide reliable service but make no guarantees of uptime or availability. As self-hosted software, service availability depends on your own hosting infrastructure. We are not liable for downtime caused by your hosting provider, Google API outages, or YouTube platform changes.
9. Limitation of Liability
TubeCommand is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for any loss of revenue, data, or channel access arising from the use of the Service, including but not limited to YouTube policy enforcement actions, API quota exhaustion, or data loss.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its design, code, and documentation, is the intellectual property of TubeCommand. Your subscription grants you a licence to use the software; it does not transfer ownership.
11. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account at any time for violation of these Terms. You may delete your account at any time through the Settings page. Upon termination, your data remains on your own server and is your responsibility to manage.
12. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. We will notify registered users of significant changes via email.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.
