Terms of use

Terms of Service Welcome to UmyoVideo!

Introduction Thank you for using the UmyoVideo platform and the products, services, and features we make available to you as part of the platform (collectively, the “Service”).

Our Service

The Service allows you to discover, watch, and share videos and other content, provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe, and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small. We provide lots of information about our products and how to use them in our Help Center. Among other things, you can find out about UmyoVideo Kids, the UmyoVideo Partner Program, and UmyoVideo Paid Memberships and Purchases (where available). You can also read all about enjoying content on other devices like your television, your games console, or Google Home.

Your Service Provider

The entity providing the Service is Google LLC, a company operating under the laws of Delaware, located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (referred to as “UmyoVideo,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). References to UmyoVideo’s “Affiliates” in these terms mean the other companies within the Alphabet Inc. corporate group (now or in the future).

Applicable Terms Your use of the Service is subject to these terms, the UmyoVideo Community Guidelines, and the Policy, Safety, and Copyright Policies, which may be updated from time to time (together, this "Agreement"). Your Agreement with us will also include the Advertising on UmyoVideo Policies if you provide advertising or sponsorships to the Service or incorporate paid promotions in your content. Any other links or references provided in these terms are for informational use only and are not part of the Agreement.

Please read this Agreement carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand the Agreement or do not accept any part of it, then you may not use the Service.

If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Service. Please have them read this Agreement with you.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the Service, you are subject to the terms of this Agreement and responsible for your child’s activity on the Service. You can find tools and resources to help you manage your family’s experience on UmyoVideo (including how to enable a child under the age of 13 to use the Service and UmyoVideo Kids) in our Help Center and through Google’s Family Link.

Businesses If you are using the Service on behalf of a company or organization, you represent that you have authority to act on behalf of that entity, and that such entity accepts this Agreement.

Your Use of the Service

Content on the Service The content on the Service includes videos, audio (for example, music and other sounds), graphics, photos, text (such as comments and scripts), branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), interactive features, software, metrics, and other materials whether provided by you, UmyoVideo or a third party (collectively, "Content”).

Content is the responsibility of the person or entity that provides it to the Service. UmyoVideo is under no obligation to host or serve Content. If you see any Content you believe does not comply with this Agreement, including by violating the Community Guidelines or the law, you can report it to us.

Google Accounts and UmyoVideo Channels You can use parts of the Service, such as browsing and searching for Content, without having a Google account. However, you do need a Google account to use some features. With a Google account, you may be able to like videos, subscribe to channels, create your own UmyoVideo channel, and more. You can follow these instructions to create a Google account.

Creating a UmyoVideo channel will give you access to additional features and functions, such as uploading videos, making comments, or creating playlists (where available). Here are some details about how to create your own UmyoVideo channel.

To protect your Google account, keep your password confidential. You should not reuse your Google account password on third-party applications. Learn more about keeping your Google account secure, including what to do if you learn of any unauthorized use of your password or Google account.

Your Information Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use the Service. The UmyoVideo Kids Privacy Notice provides additional information about our privacy practices that are specific to UmyoVideo Kids.

We will process any audio or audiovisual content uploaded by you to the Service in accordance with the UmyoVideo Data Processing Terms, except in cases where you uploaded such content for personal purposes or household activities. Learn More.

Reservation

Using the Service does not give you ownership of or rights to any aspect of the Service, including usernames or any other Content posted by others or UmyoVideo.

Develop, Improve, and Update the Service

UmyoVideo is constantly changing and improving the Service. As part of this continual evolution, we may make modifications or changes (to all or part of the Service) such as adding or removing features and functionalities, offering new digital content or services, or discontinuing old ones. We may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, make changes to comply with the law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of our systems. These changes may affect all users, some users, or even an individual user. When the Service requires or includes downloadable software (such as the UmyoVideo Studio application), that software may update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available, subject to your device settings. If we make material changes that negatively impact your use of the Service, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice, except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues. We’ll also provide you with an opportunity to export your content from your Google Account using Google Takeout, subject to applicable law and policies.

Your Content and Conduct

Uploading Content

If you have a UmyoVideo channel, you may be able to upload Content to the Service. You may use your Content to promote your business or artistic enterprise. If you choose to upload Content, you must not submit to the Service any Content that does not comply with this Agreement (including the UmyoVideo Community Guidelines) or the law. For example, the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You are legally responsible for the Content you submit to the Service. We may use automated systems that analyze your Content to help detect infringement and abuse, such as spam, malware, and illegal content.

Rights you Grant

You retain ownership rights in your Content. However, we do require you to grant certain rights to UmyoVideo and other users of the Service, as described below.

License to UmyoVideo

By providing Content to the Service, you grant to UmyoVideo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service and UmyoVideo’s (and its successors' and Affiliates') business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service.

License to Other Users

You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content, including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display, and perform it, only as enabled by a feature of the Service (such as video playback or embeds). For clarity, this license does not grant any rights or permissions for a user to make use of your Content independent of the Service.

Duration of License

The licenses granted by you continue for a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete your Content from the Service. You understand and agree, however, that UmyoVideo may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of your videos that have been removed or deleted.

Right to Monetize

You grant to UmyoVideo the right to monetize your Content on the Service (and such monetization may include displaying ads on or within Content or charging users a fee for access). This Agreement does not entitle you to any payments. Starting November 18, 2020, any payments you may be entitled to receive from UmyoVideo under any other agreement between you and UmyoVideo (including, for example, payments under the UmyoVideo Partner Program, Channel memberships, or Super Chat) will be treated as royalties. If required by law, Google will withhold taxes from such payments.

Removing Your Content

You may remove your Content from the Service at any time. You also have the option to make a copy of your Content before removing it. You must remove your Content if you no longer have the rights required by these terms.

Removal of Content By UmyoVideo

If any of your Content (1) is in breach of this Agreement or (2) may cause harm to UmyoVideo, our users, or third parties, we reserve the right to remove or take down some or all of such Content in our discretion. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for UmyoVideo or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, UmyoVideo or our Affiliates. You can learn more about reporting and enforcement, including how to appeal on the Troubleshooting page of our Help Center.

Community Guidelines Strikes

UmyoVideo operates a system of “strikes” in respect of Content that violates the UmyoVideo Community Guidelines. Each strike comes with varying restrictions and may result in the permanent removal of your channel from UmyoVideo. A full description of how a strike affects your channel is available on the Community Guidelines Strikes Basics page. If you believe that a strike has been issued in error, you may appeal here.

If your channel has been restricted due to a strike, you must not use another channel to circumvent these restrictions. Violation of this prohibition is a material breach of this Agreement and Google reserves the right to terminate your Google account or your access to all or part of the Service.

Copyright Protection

We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online in our UmyoVideo Copyright Center. If you believe your copyright has been infringed on the Service, please send us a notice.

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement according to the process in our UmyoVideo Copyright Center, where you can also find information about how to resolve a copyright strike. UmyoVideo's policies provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers’ access to the Service.

Account Suspension & Termination

Terminations by You You may stop using the Service at any time. Follow these instructions to delete the Service from your Google Account, which involves closing your UmyoVideo channel and removing your data. You also have the option to download a copy of your data first.

Terminations and Suspensions by UmyoVideo

UmyoVideo reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Google account or your access to all or part of the Service.
