Reservation

Any right not expressly granted to you in this Agreement remains the right of YouTube or the respective rights holders. This means, for example, that using the Service does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Content you access (including any branding used on or displayed in the Service).

Develop, Improve and Update the Service

YouTube is constantly changing and improving the Service. As part of this continual evolution of our digital content and services, 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 change the Service for these other reasons:

  • to adapt to new technologies
  • to reflect increases or decreases in the number of people who use a particular product, service or feature
  • to respond to key changes in the licences and partnerships we have with others
  • to prevent abuse or harm
  • to address legal, regulatory, safety or security issues.

In particular, we sometimes make legally-required updates, which are modifications that keep digital content, services or goods in conformity with the law. We make these updates to our digital content and services for safety or security reasons, and to make sure they meet the quality standards that you expect, such as those described in our Legal Guarantee below.  We may automatically install updates that address significant safety or security risks. For other updates, you can choose whether you want them installed.

Before we change or stop offering any part of the Service, we carefully consider your interests as a user, your reasonable expectations, and the potential impact on you and others. We only change or stop offering any part of the Service for valid reasons. If a modification negatively affects your ability to access or use the Service, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice by email, including a description of the changes, when they’ll take place, and your right to end your contract with us if our modifications create more than a minor negative impact, except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse or harm, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues. We’ll also provide you with an opportunity to export your Content using Google Takeout, subject to applicable law and policies. 

Your Content and Conduct

Uploading Content

If you have a YouTube 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 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 (including by way of any available exceptions or limitations to copyright or related rights provided for in European Union law). 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 all of your ownership rights in your Content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours. However, we do require you to grant certain rights to YouTube and other users of the Service, as described below.

Licence to YouTube

By providing Content to the Service, you grant to YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, modify, display and perform it) for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

Licence to Other Users

You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, modify, display, and perform it) only as enabled by a feature of the Service.

Duration of Licence

The licences granted by you continue until the Content is removed as described below. Once removed, the licences will terminate, except where the operation of the Service, use of Content permitted before your removal, or the law requires otherwise.  For example, removal of Content by you does not require YouTube to: (a) recall Content that is being used by other users within any limited offline viewing functionality of the Service; or (b) delete copies we reasonably need to keep for legal purposes.

Right to Monetize

You grant to YouTube 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 June 1, 2021, any payments you may be entitled to receive from YouTube under any other agreement between you and YouTube (including for example payments under the YouTube 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 YouTube

If we reasonably believe that any of your Content (1) is in breach of this Agreement or (2) may cause harm to YouTube, our users, or third parties, we reserve the right to remove or take down some or all of such Content. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for YouTube 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, YouTube 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

YouTube operates a system of “strikes” in respect of Content that violates the YouTube Community Guidelines. Each strike comes with varying restrictions and may result in the permanent removal of your channel from YouTube.  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 YouTube 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 YouTube Copyright Center, where you can also find information about how to resolve a copyright strike. YouTube’s policies provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers’ access to the Service.

Account Suspension and Termination

Terminations by You

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can also delete the Service from your Google Account, which involves closing your YouTube channel and removing your data, with the option to download a copy of your data first. 

Terminations and Suspensions by YouTube

YouTube reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Google account or your access to all or part of the Service if: (a) you materially or repeatedly breach this Agreement; (b) we are required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; or (c) we reasonably believe there has been conduct that creates liability or harm to any user, other third party, YouTube or our Affiliates.

Notice for Termination or Suspension

We will notify you with the reason for termination or suspension by YouTube unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority; (b) would compromise an investigation; (c) would compromise the integrity, operation or security of the Service; or (d) would cause harm to any user, other third party, YouTube or our Affiliates.

Effect of Account Suspension or Termination

If your Google account is terminated or your access to the Service is restricted, you may continue using certain aspects of the Service (such as viewing only) without an account, and this Agreement will continue to apply to such use. If you believe that the termination or suspension has been made in error, you can appeal using this form.

About Software in our Service

Downloadable Software

When the Service requires or includes downloadable software (such as the YouTube Studio application), unless that software is governed by additional terms which provide a licence, YouTube gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive licence to use the software provided to you by YouTube as part of the Service. This licence is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Service as provided by YouTube, in the manner permitted by this Agreement. You are not allowed to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the software, or to reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit these restrictions or you have YouTube’s written permission.

Open Source

Some software used in our Service may be offered under an open source licence. There may be provisions in an open source licence that expressly override some of these terms.  If so, we will make that open source licence available to you.

Other Legal Terms

Legal Guarantee

If you’re an EEA-based consumer, and you’ve agreed to our Terms of Service, then EEA consumer laws provide you with a legal guarantee covering the digital content or services that we provide you. Under this guarantee, we’re liable for any lack of conformity that you discover:

  • within two years of the one-time supply of digital content or services (such as purchasing a movie)

  • at any time during the “continuous” supply of digital content or services (such as a paid subscription)

Your national laws may provide an even longer guarantee. Your rights under these legal guarantees aren’t limited by any other commercial guarantees that we provide. If you want to make a guarantee claim, please [contact us].

Disclaimer

By law, consumers have certain rights that cannot be excluded or altered by a contract. Nothing in this Agreement affects those rights you may have as a consumer. Other than as expressly stated in this Agreement or as required by law (see the Legal Guarantee), YouTube does not make any specific promises about the Service. For example, we don’t make any additional promises about: the Content provided through the Service; the specific features of the Service, or its accuracy, reliability, availability, or ability to meet your needs; or that any Content you submit will be accessible or stored on the Service.

Limitation of Liability

All users: Nothing in this Agreement is intended to exclude or limit any party’s liability for: death or personal injury; fraud; fraudulent misrepresentation; or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, YouTube and its Affiliates will not be responsible for:

  1. losses that were not caused by YouTube or its Affiliates’ breach of this Agreement;
  2. any loss or damage that was not, at the time that this Agreement was formed between you and YouTube, a reasonably foreseeable consequence of YouTube or its Affiliates breaching this Agreement; or
  3. the Content submitted by any user, or for the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any user.

Business Users only: If you are using the Service for the purpose of your trade, business, craft or profession, (a “Business User”), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the following limitations of liability will also apply:

  1. YouTube and its Affiliates will not be responsible for lost profits, revenues, or data; loss of opportunity or anticipated savings; indirect or consequential losses, or punitive damages (in all cases whether such losses were foreseeable or not); and
  2. YouTube and its Affiliates’ total liability for any claims arising from or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of: (a) the amount of revenue that YouTube has paid to you from your use of the Service in the 12 months before the date of your notice, in writing to YouTube, of the claim and (b) €500, whichever is higher.

Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites and online services that are not owned or controlled by YouTube. YouTube has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, such websites and online services. Be aware when you leave the Service; we suggest you read the terms and privacy policy of each third-party website and online service that you visit.

About this Agreement

Changing this Agreement

We may change this Agreement (1) to reflect changes to our Service or how we do business – for example, when we add new products or features or remove old ones, (2) for legal, regulatory, or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm.

If we materially change this Agreement, we’ll provide you with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to review the changes, except (1) when we launch a new product or features, or (2) in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. If you don’t agree to the new terms you should remove any Content you uploaded and stop using the Service.

Continuation of this Agreement

If your use of the Service ends, the following terms of this Agreement will continue to apply to you: “Other Legal Terms”, “About This Agreement”, and the licenses granted by you will continue in limited cases as described under “Duration of License”.

Severance

If it turns out that a particular term of this Agreement is not enforceable for any reason, this will not affect any other terms.

Assignment

YouTube may transfer all or part of this Agreement to an Affiliate or, if YouTube is sold, to a third party.

No Waiver

If you do not comply with this Agreement and we do not take action immediately, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as the right to take action in the future).

Governing Law

If you live in the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, this Agreement, and your relationship with YouTube under this Agreement, will be governed by the laws of your country of residence, and legal proceedings may be brought in your local courts.

YouTube Paid Service Terms of Service

Effective as of May 18, 2022 (view previous version)

Welcome to YouTube Paid Services!

1.        Our Service

Thank you for using the YouTube platform and the products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform. YouTube enables access to certain premium features or content in exchange for one-time or recurring fees (each a “Paid Service“). The Paid Services include YouTube rentals and purchases, channel memberships, paid subscriptions, and other YouTube services which may be offered by Google.

1.1         Your Service Provider

The entity providing the Paid Services in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Dublin, Ireland.

We may use other companies within the Alphabet Inc. corporate group (these companies are referred to as our “Affiliates”) to manage Paid Services. Any payments you make for the Paid Services will be taken by Google Commerce Limited, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Together, Google Ireland Limited and Google Commerce Limited, are “Google, “we“, “us“, or “our“.

1.2         Applicable Terms

Your transactions and any use of the Paid Services are subject to: these Paid Service Terms of Service; the YouTube Terms of Service; the Paid Service Usage Rules; and the YouTube Community Guidelines. We’ll refer to these documents together as the “Terms”.

Please read the Terms carefully and make sure you understand them. If you do not understand the Terms, or do not accept any part of them, then you may not use the Paid Services. Each time you place an order for a Paid Service (including when you order a subscription or an item of content), you will enter into a separate contract with us for that particular Paid Service and will be asked to accept the Paid Service Terms again.

2.        Accessing Paid Services

2.1         Age Requirements

The age requirements in the YouTube Terms of Service also apply to your use of the Paid Services. You must also comply with any additional age restrictions that might apply for the use of specific Paid Services (for example an age restriction on a movie).  Family managers and family members must meet these additional requirements as well.

2.2        Device Requirements and Usage Limits

Certain Paid Services may require you to use a device that meets the system and compatibility requirements for that Paid Service, which may change from time to time. For further information on supported devices and technical requirements, visit our Help Center. There may also be limits on how you can access or use the different types of Paid Services on YouTube (e.g., applicable viewing periods and device limitations). Please see the YouTube Paid Service Usage Rules for more information.

2.3        Geographic Restrictions

The Paid Services, and certain content available within the Paid Services, may only be available in certain countries. You agree that you will not present any false, inaccurate or misleading information in an effort to misrepresent your country of residence, and you will not attempt to circumvent any restrictions on access to, or availability of, the Paid Services or content available within the Paid Services.

2.4        Other Google Paid Services

In some cases, you may be able to access a Paid Service through other Google products (e.g., you may be able to watch a movie on Google Play that you purchased on YouTube).  Additionally, you may be able to access content via YouTube that you have purchased, or subscribed to, through other Google products (e.g. you may be able to watch a movie on YouTube that you purchased on Google Play).  Your use of any Paid Service is governed only by the Terms, and not the terms of any other Google product, including any other Google product through which you receive access to a Paid Service.

2.5         Your Information

Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use the Paid Services.  Please read the Privacy Policy carefully.

3.        Payment and No-Cost Trials

3.1        Payment

Google accepts payment via the payment method indicated prior to your purchase. You must have a valid, accepted payment method on file in order to purchase Paid Services, or to participate in no-cost trial offers or other no-cost offers related to the Paid Services. You agree to pay for any Paid Service that you order. Google will charge your payment method for the price listed for the relevant Paid Service. If you purchase any automatically renewing Paid Service subscription, you agree that Google will charge the payment method on file on the first day of each billing period for the subscription, and if the payment method on file becomes invalid due to an expired credit card or other reason, and Google is unable to charge you on the next billing period, you may not be able to access the applicable Paid Service until you update your payment method. Where possible, we will provide you with notice when this happens. If you fail to update your payment method within a reasonable amount of time following that notice, Google may cancel your subscription. In some cases, you may transact with a third-party or affiliate platform when you purchase a Paid Service (e.g., if you subscribe to YouTube Premium using another platform like Apple or Google Play).  In these cases, such platform will charge your payment method and be responsible for managing any issues with your payment, including refunds.

3.2        No-Cost Trials

Google may offer no-cost trials for a Paid Service to subscribers from time to time. If you purchase a subscription to a Paid Service that includes a trial, you will receive access to that Paid Service for the duration of the trial period. At the end of the trial period, you will be automatically charged the price of the subscription and will continue to be charged until you cancel your subscription. To avoid any charges, you must cancel your subscription before the end of the trial period. Please note that if you purchase a subscription for a Paid Service that includes a no-cost trial, the period during which you can exercise a withdrawal right (and request a refund if applicable) begins at the beginning of the trial, not when you are subsequently billed for the subscription.

3.3        Discounts

Google may, from time to time, offer discounts on purchases or subscriptions (such as a YouTube family plan or student plan). Additional terms and conditions, including eligibility criteria, may apply to such plans and any such additional terms will be made available to you prior to purchase.  

3.4         Pre-Orders

Google may offer the ability to pre-order certain items of content that are available within the Paid Services. When you place a pre-order, unless otherwise noted at the time, your payment method will not be charged until the date when the relevant item of content is made available to you. You can cancel a pre-order at any time up to the point at which the relevant item of content is made available. In some cases, Google may need to cancel a pre-order you have placed, in which case we will notify you.

3.5        Taxes

If Google is required to collect or pay any taxes in connection with your purchase of a Paid Service, such taxes will be charged to you at the time of each purchase transaction.

4.        Withdrawal, Cancellations and Refunds

4.1        Consumer Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer based in the EEA or Switzerland, you have an automatic legal right to withdraw from contracts for purchases of Paid Services. However, when you make a purchase of a single item of digital content (such as a movie) and you expressly agree that such content is made available to you immediately, we will ask you to acknowledge that you waive your automatic legal right of withdrawal in respect of that content (you may still be able to apply for a refund under the Refund Policy).

Where you have not waived your right of withdrawal, the withdrawal period will expire 14 days after the day you enter into that contract. To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us – Google Commerce Limited, c/o Customer Support, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, telephone number +353 1605 0397 (see below at Section 9(g) for country-specific telephone numbers), [email protected] – of your decision to withdraw from a contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or e-mail). You may use the model withdrawal form below, but it is not obligatory. To meet the withdrawal deadline, you need to send your communication to us saying you wish to withdraw from the contract before the withdrawal period has expired.

4.2        Effects of Withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

If you requested to begin the performance of a subscription to a Paid Service during the withdrawal period, Google may deduct from the reimbursement an amount that is in proportion to the services provided before you communicated to us your withdrawal from this contract.

Model Withdrawal Form.

4.3        Cancellation of Subscriptions

If you purchase a subscription to a Paid Service, you may, in addition to your withdrawal right, cancel the subscription any time. The cancellation will take effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to the Paid Service from the time you cancel until the end of that billing period and, unless otherwise indicated in the Refund Policy, you will not receive a refund or credit for any remaining days in your current billing period.

4.4        Refunds

Google offers additional rights of refund for several types of Paid Services, including digital content, as set out in the Refund Policy.  

5.        Licence

After completing a transaction or paying the applicable fees for a Paid Service, you may access and use that Paid Service, for your personal, non-commercial use only, and as long as you comply with the Terms and the law. Your license to the Paid Services (including any content offered through the Paid Services) is non-exclusive and all rights, title and interest in the Paid Services not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved by Google and its licensors. You agree not to use any Paid Service, in whole or in part, in connection with any public presentation even if no fee is charged (except where such use would not constitute a copyright infringement).

6.         Restrictions

When you use the Paid Services, you may not (or attempt to):

  • use the Paid Services in an illegal manner, or for an illegal purpose;
  • share your Google account password with someone else to allow them to access any Paid Service they did not order;
  • copy, sell, rent, or sublicense the Paid Services to any third party;
  • circumvent, reverse engineer, modify, disable, or otherwise tamper with any security technology that Google uses to protect the Paid Services or encourage or help anyone else to do so;
  • access the Paid Services other than by means authorised by Google; or
  • remove any proprietary notices or labels on Paid Services (for example watermarks).

7.        Changes

7.1        Changes to the Paid Services

We’re constantly developing new features and ways to improve our services and we may modify the Service (including the Paid Services) as set out in the YouTube Terms of Service. Changes to a Paid Service will not affect your ability to request a refund as described above.

7.2        Removal or Unavailability of Content

The availability of content on a Paid Service may change from time to time, including when content within a Paid Service becomes limited or unavailable due to restrictions from our partners who license us that content, or for legal or policy reasons.

  • For rentals of content: if content becomes removed or unavailable during your rental period, you will be entitled to either a refund or to a reasonable replacement.
  • For purchased content: (a) if the content becomes removed or unavailable during the first five years after your purchase, you will be entitled to a refund or a reasonable replacement; or (b) if the content becomes removed or unavailable following such five year period, and you are not able to download a copy of the affected content before it becomes unavailable (if applicable), then we may, at our option, offer you either a reasonable replacement of the content or a full or partial refund of the price of the content.

7.3        Changes to Pricing

Prices for Paid Services may change from time to time, to reflect inflation, changes in pricing from our licensors, changes for promotional offerings, changes to the Paid Services or changing business needs. Any changes to pricing for Paid Services with recurring payments will only apply following reasonable notice to you. If we notify you of a price change for a Paid Service with a recurring payment and you do not want to continue that Paid Service at the new price, you can cancel the Paid Service before the start of the next subscription period in which the new price applies by following the steps in Section 4 (Cancellation of Subscriptions).

7.4        Changes to this Agreement

Google may change these Paid Service Terms (1) to reflect changes to our Service or how we do business – for example, when we add new products or features or remove old ones, (2) for legal, regulatory, safety or security reasons, or (3) to prevent abuse or harm.  If we materially change the Paid Service Terms, you will be given at least 30 days advance notice (except when we launch a new product or feature or in urgent situations, such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements) and an opportunity to cancel any subscriptions. The new Paid Service Terms will be effective after such notice period. Your continued use of a Paid Service following such notice period will indicate your acceptance of the new Paid Service Terms. The new terms will apply to your use of all Paid Service content (including content you have purchased in the past) and all subsequent purchases. If you do not agree to such changes then (i) please cancel any subscriptions you have purchased before the end of the notice period and (ii) you may not buy any additional Paid Services and the latest version of the Paid Service Terms that you accepted will continue to apply to your use of previously purchased Paid Services.

8.        Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Paid Services at any time.

We may suspend or stop your access to the Paid Service and/or your Google account if you materially or repeatedly are in breach of the Terms, or if we are investigating suspected misconduct. In most cases we will give you prior notice before we suspend or disable your access unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (i) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for us or our affiliates; (ii) would compromise an investigation; (iii) would compromise the operation of any of the Paid Services; or (iv) would cause harm to any user(s). If your entire Google Account is suspended, you can appeal the decision here.

9.        Other Terms

9.1        The Paid Services include content uploaded or otherwise submitted by our users and partners. If you see any content which you believe does not comply with our Community Guidelines, please notify us by following the instructions here.

9.2        You can contact our customer support team by clicking “Help” next to the relevant purchase on your Purchases page (for one time purchases) or by contacting the teamComplaints and/or feedback about your Paid Service experience may also be sent to Google at the addresses listed in the first section (marked with “Attn: YouTube Paid Services”).

9.3        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 unauthorised use of your password or Google account.

9.4        Your transaction for the Paid Service is with Google Commerce Limited. Google Commerce Limited’s VAT number is IE9825613N.

9.5        The provisions of the YouTube Terms of Service (including those relating to the Legal Guarantee, governing law and limitation of liability) apply to your use of the YouTube Paid Services. If there is a conflict between the YouTube Terms of Service and these Paid Service Terms, the Paid Service Terms will take precedence.

9.6         Disputes arising in relation to the YouTube Paid Services may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform, but Google does not commit to and is not obliged to settle disputes before any alternative dispute resolution entity.

9.7         If you wish to contact Google to withdraw from a Paid Service as described in Section 4 above, you may use the number listed below for the country in which you’re located:

Terms of Use for YouTube Paid Services

YouTube’s Paid Services Terms of Service explain  that your access to or use of Paid Services on YouTube may vary by type of Paid Service. The terms of use per Paid Service are detailed below and are subject to change as we add new features, devices and content to our service. Learn more in the YouTube Help Center.

Rented and purchased movies and shows

  1. General.  Some Paid Services allow you to purchase or rent individual movies or TV shows from third parties. You can watch rented or purchased content if you’re online, have a broadband connection, and are signed in to your YouTube or Google account. You can also view some rented or purchased content offline by downloading and playing the content on a pre-approved device. You must be online to approve or deauthorize a device. Due to restrictions imposed by our content providers, purchased or rented content may not be available for sale in all countries outside your home country.
  2. Access through other Google products . In some cases, your rented and purchased content may also be accessed through other Google products (e.g. Google Play). Your use of rented and purchased content from YouTube is subject to the YouTube Usage Rules, in addition to any usage rules applicable to other Google products.
  3. Rented content.  When you rent content, you may view it an unlimited number of times during the period shown at the time of purchase (“View Period”) and included in your confirmation email. Pausing, stopping or rewinding rental content does not affect the applicable View Period. Each rental content item may have a different Display Period. So, take note of the display period before completing the transaction. Rented content can only be viewed on one device at a time (online or on an approved device that is offline).
  4. Purchased content . When you purchase a content item, the content is stored in a digital storage space. You may view the content an unlimited number of times during the ‘Retention Period’. The Retention Period extends for a minimum of five years from the date of purchase (subject to the limitations of YouTube’s Paid Services Terms of Service  ). Each purchased content item may have a different Retention Period. You can only order content if you agree to this period. Pausing, stopping or rewinding content does not affect the length of the Retention Period. As stated in YouTube’s Paid Services Terms of Service,  you can request a refund if purchased content becomes unavailable within five years of the date of purchase.

The following applies to purchased content:

  1. You can view one stream at a time per item.
  2. At any given time you can watch up to three streams of different items.
  3. At any given time, you can have up to five approved devices for offline playback of video content from your storage. To approve additional devices, you must deauthorize at least one of the five devices.
  4. You can approve the same device a maximum of three times per twelve month period. You can revoke the approval of the same device a maximum of two times in any twelve months.
  5. You can deauthorize up to two devices for offline viewing per 90 days.
  6. You can approve up to three Google accounts per device. 

Restrictions on streaming and offline playback of purchased content apply regardless of the Google product (such as Google Play Movies or YouTube) you use to access the content.

Submit a copyright removal request

If your copyright-protected work was posted on YouTube without your authorization, you can submit a copyright removal request to request that the content be removed. Submitting a copyright removal request is a legal process.

Prepare a copyright removal request

Before you submit a copyright removal request, you need to consider the following:

  1. Copyright exceptions: Consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar copyright exception applies. We may ask you to confirm you’ve made this consideration.
