Terms and Conditions

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of the HIVEMIND YT platform, websites, applications, developer API, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by HIVEMIND YT LLC, a California limited liability company ("HIVEMIND YT LLC," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). The Service is made available at hivemind.yt.

These Terms are a binding legal agreement between you and HIVEMIND YT LLC. Please read them carefully. They include important provisions that affect your legal rights, including a binding arbitration agreement, a class-action waiver, a disclaimer of warranties, and a limitation of liability. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the other policies referenced in them, including the Acceptable Use Policy, the Privacy Policy, the Sales Policy, the Refund Policy, the Beta Testing Terms, and the Disclaimers. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

Capitalized terms not defined in these Terms have the meaning given to them in the policies referenced above. To the extent of any direct conflict between these Terms and a more specific policy on the same subject, the more specific policy controls for that subject.

1. Acceptance of Terms and Eligibility

By creating an account, clicking to accept, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to both you and that entity.

During the current private beta, creating an account requires a valid invitation or registration code issued or approved by HIVEMIND YT LLC, and a registration attempt made without one is refused; what a code carries, and how it may be changed or revoked, are set out in the Beta Testing Terms at /legal/beta-terms.

The Service is not intended for and may not be used by minors. You must be at least 18 years of age to access or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a person under 18 in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take steps to delete that information.

You also represent and warrant that you are not located in, and are not a resident of, any country or region subject to comprehensive United States embargoes or sanctions, and that you are not identified on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Access to features that connect to YouTube, Google, or other third-party services is conditioned on your acceptance of the Privacy Policy and the applicable third-party terms described in these Terms. You must agree to the Privacy Policy before you can access and use those features.

2. Description of the Service

HIVEMIND YT is a creator-growth platform for YouTube creators. Depending on your plan and the features you enable, the Service may include the following: Pulse Analytics, which provides YouTube channel and video intelligence dashboards; Create Clips, which generates short-form clips with client-side export and optional server-side rendering, and which can publish or schedule content to connected social platforms at your direction; Knowledge Bases and Video Intelligence, which ingest videos from channels, playlists, and documents through official application programming interfaces and apply artificial-intelligence analysis, including sponsor insights; Community Portals, which provide creator knowledge portals and chat; an administrative console; subscription-based monetization; and a public developer API product with published OpenAPI documentation.

The Service relies exclusively on official Google and YouTube application programming interfaces for its analytics and Knowledge Base data paths. The Service does not use scrapers and does not rip, download, or otherwise capture protected media streams. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features of the Service from time to time, and we may impose or modify usage limits, in our reasonable discretion.

Certain features depend on third-party services that are outside our control. We do not guarantee that any particular third-party service, integration, or data source will remain available, compatible, or uninterrupted.

3. Account Registration and Account Responsibilities

To use most features of the Service, you must create an account, which may be established through Google Sign-In. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information up to date.

You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not you authorized that activity. You must keep your credentials confidential and must not share your account with, or transfer your account to, any other person without our written consent. You agree to notify us immediately at contact@hivemind.yt if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account or any other breach of security.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the equipment, devices, network access, and third-party accounts necessary to use the Service, and for all charges associated with them.

4. License to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, HIVEMIND YT LLC grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for your internal business or personal purposes. This is a license to use the Service, not a sale or transfer of ownership of any part of the Service.

HIVEMIND YT LLC and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including its software, code, designs, algorithms, models, user interfaces, documentation, trademarks, and other intellectual property. No rights are granted to you other than as expressly set out in these Terms. You must not remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices contained in the Service.

You must not, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law that cannot be excluded by agreement: copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Service; rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the Service; or reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or underlying structure of the Service.

The names, logos, and other brand features of HIVEMIND YT LLC and HIVEMIND YT are owned by HIVEMIND YT LLC. The names, logos, and marks of YouTube, Google, X, Meta, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, LinkedIn, Stripe, and other third parties are the property of their respective owners, and any use of them in connection with the Service is solely to identify the relevant integration or to identify the third party as the source of content. Nothing in the Service implies, and you must not imply, any endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation with any such third party.

5. Acceptable Use

Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The Acceptable Use Policy describes prohibited conduct in detail. In summary, you must not use the Service for any unlawful purpose; to upload, generate, publish, or distribute infringing, harmful, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable content; to infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party; to send spam, engage in platform manipulation, or post duplicative or bulk content across accounts in violation of a destination platform's rules; to circumvent technological protection measures or rip protected streams; to interfere with or disrupt the Service or connected systems; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or related systems; or to access the Service through automated means except through our official developer API in accordance with its terms.

Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy is a violation of these Terms and may result in suspension or termination as described below. Please review the Acceptable Use Policy in full at /legal/acceptable-use.

6. User Content and AI-Generated Content

"User Content" means content you upload, submit, create, configure, or store through the Service, including Knowledge Bases, clips, drafts, portal configurations, documents, and media files. As between you and HIVEMIND YT LLC, you retain all ownership rights you hold in your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant HIVEMIND YT LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, adapt for technical purposes, and display your User Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service for you and to perform the actions you direct, including publishing to platforms you connect. This license ends when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except for content retained in backups for a limited period or as required by law.

You represent and warrant that you own or hold all rights, consents, permissions, and licenses necessary in your User Content to grant the license above and to use the Service, including all rights necessary to upload, process, and publish your content to any destination platform you select, and that your User Content and its use through the Service do not and will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any applicable law.

When you upload content to YouTube through the Service, you certify that the content you upload complies with the YouTube Terms of Service, including the YouTube Community Guidelines, available at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms.

The Service includes features that generate content algorithmically using artificial intelligence ("AI-Generated Content"). AI-Generated Content is produced by automated systems, is not reviewed by a human before delivery to you, and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purpose. AI-Generated Content is provided without warranty and does not constitute professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. We make no guarantee of any growth, revenue, audience, or other results. You are responsible for reviewing, verifying, and editing AI-Generated Content before relying on or publishing it.

You should be aware that, under United States copyright law, material generated purely by artificial intelligence without sufficient human creative contribution may not be eligible for copyright protection, and the mere provision of prompts does not by itself create a copyrightable work. You are responsible for determining what rights, if any, you hold in AI-Generated Content. Where practicable, the Service identifies content that is produced or assisted by generative artificial intelligence so that you and your audience are informed.

7. Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK)

The Service may allow you to supply your own artificial-intelligence, YouTube, or other third-party application programming interface keys ("BYOK"). Depending on the storage mode you select, BYOK credentials may be stored for the session only, on your device, or in your account. Credentials stored in your account are held encrypted at rest, are not stored in plaintext, and are not written to our logs; a stored credential is decrypted in memory only for the moment it is needed to perform an operation you asked for. The same storage modes are described in Section 2 of the Privacy Policy at /legal/privacy.

Which features run on your keys. The Service is built on a bring-your-own-key model: for the features described in this paragraph, the request runs on the credentials you supplied, and the provider that issued them bills you directly for it. These features are Knowledge Base creation and ingestion, including vision analysis of video, audio transcription, and the text embeddings that make a Knowledge Base searchable; Knowledge Base chat and other retrieval-augmented answers, including answers generated through an OpenAI, Anthropic, or xAI credential you supply in place of the default provider; Deep Dive; Retention Lab, including its hook, pacing, and engagement analyses; Sponsor Insights; trend alerts; the Writers' Room and other brainstorm features; the Creative Agency multi-agent features; gear extraction and product discovery, including the web-retrieval usage they consume; and storyboard, character, and sound-effect generation of images and audio. If a feature that is not named here asks you for a credential, that feature is on the same footing, and the Service tells you which credential it needs before it runs.

HIVEMIND YT LLC does not pay for the features described in the paragraph above. Your provider bills you directly for them, under your own agreement with that provider, and we do not see, control, cap, or predict what you are charged. Charges accrue as you use those features, and the amount depends on how much content you ingest, how deep an analysis you request, which model you select, and how often you run it. An operation that requires a credential you have not supplied does not run at all, so you can avoid a charge by not running the feature.

Which features run on our keys. Some features run on credentials and infrastructure that HIVEMIND YT LLC supplies and are not billed to your keys. These are the Pulse Analytics suite and the analysis, assistant, and Create Clips moment-detection features within it, which run under a per-account daily spending ceiling that we set and may change at any time and which may refuse a request once that ceiling is reached; the anonymous guest demo; the YouTube Data API quota the Service consumes on your behalf; and the hosting, storage, database, and compute infrastructure the Service runs on. A small number of features can run on either your credential or ours, and where you have supplied one for such a feature, the Service uses yours.

No refund or credit for provider charges. HIVEMIND YT LLC does not refund, credit, offset, or reimburse any amount a third-party provider charges you under your own credentials, whatever the cause. This includes a run you did not intend, a run that failed or produced an unusable result, a repeated or retried operation, a charge incurred while a rate limit or suspension was in force, and any charge arising from a credential that was shared, leaked, or used by another person. Those amounts are not fees paid to HIVEMIND YT LLC and are a matter between you and your provider. The same point is stated in Section 1 of the Refund Policy at /legal/refund.

You are solely responsible for your BYOK credentials, including how they are obtained, secured, used, and revoked, for all activity and charges incurred under them, and for compliance with the terms, usage limits, and policies of the third party that issued them. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use any BYOK credentials you provide. HIVEMIND YT LLC is not responsible for any fees, suspensions, rate limits, data loss, or other consequences arising from your BYOK credentials or their use, and you assume all risk associated with providing them.

When you provide BYOK credentials, you appoint HIVEMIND YT LLC as your limited agent to use those credentials solely to perform the operations you request through the Service, and you authorize us to transmit them to the applicable third-party provider for that purpose. Where you store credentials in your account, we hold them as confidential information, keep them encrypted at rest, and do not use them for any purpose other than carrying out the operations you initiate. You may revoke stored credentials at any time, and any operation that requires a credential you have not supplied will not run.

If you enable the Creator API to expose your own channel, you authorize the third parties to whom you issue creator keys to query the data types you have consented to expose, for so long as your consent remains in effect. Where a third party invokes a question-answering feature of the Creator API, you authorize HIVEMIND YT LLC to use your BYOK artificial-intelligence credentials, as your agent, to generate that answer, and you remain responsible for the associated usage and charges unless you have enabled a plan option under which HIVEMIND YT LLC supplies the credential. You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to expose the content you make available through the Creator API, and you are solely responsible for that content.

8. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with and depends on third-party services, including Google Sign-In and Google OAuth; the YouTube Data API v3 and YouTube Analytics; Google Gemini and Vertex AI; Firebase and Google Cloud for hosting, authentication, and storage; Firecrawl for certain web retrieval; Stripe for payment processing; and the social-publishing platforms you choose to connect, which may include Meta, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, TikTok, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn. Your use of each third-party service is governed by that third party's own terms and policies, which form a separate agreement between you and that third party.

The Service incorporates YouTube API Services. By using the Service, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, available at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. The Service is also subject to the YouTube API Services Terms of Service, available at https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service, and Google's Privacy Policy, available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, governs personal information you provide in connection with the YouTube API Services. Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements; details of the Google and YouTube data we access, use, store, and delete, the 30-day refresh-or-delete practice for stored YouTube authorized data, and how you can revoke access are described in our Privacy Policy at /legal/privacy.

When you connect a social-publishing platform, the Service publishes content to that platform only on your behalf, at your direction, and only after you have authorized the connection through that platform and expressly directed and reviewed each post; preset text such as titles and hashtags remains editable by you before publishing. You are responsible for the content you choose to publish and for complying with the rules and content standards of each destination platform, which are incorporated by reference to the extent they apply to your use. You must not use the Service to send spam, engage in platform manipulation, post identical or substantially similar content across multiple accounts, or perform bulk, aggressive, or automated actions that violate a destination platform's rules, and you must not superimpose or add any brand name, logo, watermark, or promotional branding onto content submitted for publication except where the destination platform expressly permits it in writing.

Your access to and ability to publish through any third-party platform is subject to that platform's own terms and may be rate-limited, throttled, suspended, or terminated by the platform at any time. We pass those constraints through to you and are not responsible for them. HIVEMIND YT LLC does not control and is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, content-moderation decisions, account suspensions or terminations, data loss, or downtime of any third-party service.

Payments for paid plans are processed by Stripe. HIVEMIND YT LLC does not store full payment card numbers; Stripe stores and processes cardholder data under its own agreements and the applicable card-network rules. By making a purchase, you also agree to Stripe's applicable terms.

9. Subscriptions and Billing

The Service offers paid subscription plans: Synapse at 20 US dollars per month, Cortex at 50 US dollars per month, Nexus at 200 US dollars per month, and Omni at 500 US dollars per month, with a discount available for yearly billing. Amounts are handled in integer minor currency units. During the current private beta, access is provided free of charge and paid billing is not active; the plans, prices, and features described here are not final and are subject to change as described in the Beta Status section below.

When paid plans become active, subscriptions are billed in advance through Stripe on the cadence you select and renew automatically until cancelled. Before you are charged, the automatic-renewal and continuous-service offer terms, including that the subscription continues until you cancel and how to cancel, will be presented clearly and conspicuously, and your affirmative consent will be obtained. You will be able to cancel online through a prominent cancellation method. The detailed billing, auto-renewal, pricing, consent, and cancellation terms are set out in the Sales Policy at /legal/sales, and refund terms, including any applicable EU and UK 14-day withdrawal rights and the conditions for waiving them for digital content, are set out in the Refund Policy at /legal/refund. The Sales Policy and Refund Policy are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

HIVEMIND YT LLC operates an affiliate program offering a 20 percent recurring commission for 12 months, paid through Stripe Connect, subject to separate affiliate program terms. If you participate as an affiliate, you must make truthful, non-misleading statements and clearly and conspicuously disclose your material connection to HIVEMIND YT LLC, consistent with applicable advertising rules and the affiliate program terms.

10. Beta Status

The Service is currently offered as a private beta, accessible by invitation through an access code. The Service, including its features and any pricing, is pre-release and is provided for evaluation. Features and prices are non-final and may be added, changed, or removed at any time, with or without notice, in the sole discretion of HIVEMIND YT LLC, and HIVEMIND YT LLC has no obligation to release any generally available version or to maintain or continue any feature.

The beta is provided on an as-is and as-available basis and may be incomplete, may contain bugs or errors, and may produce unexpected results, including loss of content or data. Data created or stored during the beta may be reset, deleted, or not migrated, and you should not rely on the beta for production use or for storing important data. Your participation in the beta is also governed by the Beta Testing Terms at /legal/beta-terms, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference and control over any conflicting provision of these Terms with respect to beta participation.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, AI-GENERATED CONTENT, AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH IT, IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. HIVEMIND YT LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

HIVEMIND YT LLC DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA, ANALYTICS, OR AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR RELIABLE. HIVEMIND YT LLC MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR PLATFORM, INCLUDING ITS AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, OR CONTINUED OPERATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS APPLY AND ARE SET OUT IN THE DISCLAIMERS AT /legal/disclaimers.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HIVEMIND YT LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT HIVEMIND YT LLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of HIVEMIND YT LLC will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you actually paid to HIVEMIND YT LLC for the Service in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100), notwithstanding any zero amount paid (including during any free or beta period).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND HIVEMIND YT LLC. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE, HIVEMIND YT LLC'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HIVEMIND YT LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your User Content, including AI-Generated Content you publish or use; (c) your violation of these Terms or any policy incorporated by reference; (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party, including any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right; (e) your use, misuse, or breach of any connected third-party platform or its terms; or (f) your BYOK credentials or their use.

HIVEMIND YT LLC reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that claim. You may not settle any matter without our prior written consent if the settlement would impose any obligation or liability on HIVEMIND YT LLC.

14. Copyright, Stream-Ripping Prohibition, and DMCA

HIVEMIND YT LLC respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects you to do the same. The Service processes only media and other content that you have uploaded or for which you hold the necessary rights. You must not use the Service to upload, submit, publish, or process content that infringes copyright or that was obtained by circumventing any technological protection measure, and you must not use the Service to rip, download, or capture protected streams. Circumventing access controls can be a separate violation of law, independent of any analysis of the underlying content.

We will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We have adopted and will reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers, and we may remove content and terminate accounts that we believe infringe the rights of others. The procedures for submitting an infringement notice and a counter-notification, and the contact details for our designated agent, are set out in our DMCA Policy at /legal/dmca. Infringement notices and counter-notifications may also be sent to contact@hivemind.yt and to the registered agent on file with the California Secretary of State.

15. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request deletion of your account through your account settings or by emailing contact@hivemind.yt. Cancellation of a paid plan is handled as described in the Sales Policy.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or part of the Service, and may remove or refuse to publish content, at any time and in our reasonable discretion, including where we believe you have violated these Terms or any incorporated policy, where required to comply with law or a third-party platform's terms or enforcement request, where necessary to protect the Service or other users, or where a third-party service we depend on is withdrawn. Where reasonably practicable and lawful, we will provide notice; in cases of suspected fraud, abuse, security risk, or legal requirement, we may act without prior notice. You agree to comply with reasonable requests for proof of compliance that a connected platform may require us to pass through.

Upon termination, your right to access and use the Service ceases immediately. Following account deletion, we will delete or de-identify your data as described in the Privacy Policy. Certain records, including money, ledger, tax, and audit records, may be retained in pseudonymized form where required for legal, accounting, or compliance purposes; user-facing fields are erased on account erasure, and an export-your-data capability is available. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including provisions on intellectual property, User Content licenses already granted, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and dispute resolution, will survive.

16. Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class-Action Waiver

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and, where applicable, by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal law.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. Except for the carve-outs below, you and HIVEMIND YT LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The seat and venue of the arbitration will be in California, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. By agreeing to arbitration, you and HIVEMIND YT LLC waive the right to a trial by jury and to have disputes decided by a judge or jury in court.

CLASS-ACTION WAIVER. You and HIVEMIND YT LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, will be severed from arbitration and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in California.

Carve-outs. Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing in these Terms waives any right that cannot be waived under applicable law.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will provide notice by a reasonable method, such as by email to the address associated with your account or by a prominent notice within the Service, before the change takes effect. We may also require you to re-accept the updated Terms in order to continue using the Service.

Your continued access to or use of the Service after the effective date of an updated version of these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms indicates when they were most recently revised.

18. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the policies incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and HIVEMIND YT LLC regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms except as expressly stated.
