Channel ToolsTerms of Service
Last updated: October 12, 2026
These terms apply to the Channel Tools browser extension, its service and this website ("Channel Tools", "we"). By installing the extension or buying credits you agree to them.
1. What Channel Tools does
Channel Tools helps you prepare YouTube uploads in YouTube Studio: it suggests titles, descriptions and tags, fills them into Studio, and provides a thumbnail editor with optional AI edits. It never publishes or saves anything in YouTube for you; you review the result and decide what to publish. Channel Tools is not affiliated with or endorsed by YouTube or Google.
2. Credits
- AI features are paid with prepaid credits, sold in packs. Prices are shown before you buy.
- Each request uses credits according to the work it takes. Before it runs, the most it could use is set aside from your balance and the unused part is returned when it finishes.
- If the AI service fails before doing any work, no credits are used. If it does the work but the result is unusable or refused, the credits for that work are used.
- Credits do not expire, have no cash value, cannot be transferred or resold, and are tied to the account key on your receipt.
- Purchases are final and credits are not refundable, except where the law requires otherwise. If something went wrong with a request, contact us and we will look into it. If a payment is refunded or disputed, the credits it bought are removed from your balance.
- We may change credit prices for future requests and packs; credits you already bought keep working at the prices in effect when you use them.
3. Your account key
Your account key gives access to your credits. Keep it private. Anyone with the key can use its credits, and we cannot restore credits used by someone you shared it with.
4. Your content
You keep all rights to your videos, images and text. You give us permission to process the frames, photos and instructions you send only to provide the service. You are responsible for having the rights to what you send and publish, and for checking AI suggestions and images before you use them. AI output can be inaccurate or resemble existing works.
5. Acceptable use
Do not use Channel Tools to create unlawful, infringing, deceptive or harmful content, to break YouTube's policies, or to attack, overload or reverse engineer the service. We may refuse requests or suspend an account key that is used this way.
6. Availability and changes
YouTube Studio changes over time and parts of Channel Tools may stop working until we update them. We work to fix problems quickly but do not guarantee the service will always be available. We may change or end features. If we plan to stop the service entirely, we will give at least 30 days' notice in the extension so you can use your remaining credits.
7. Disclaimer and liability
Channel Tools is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost views, revenue or channel standing, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
8. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States. Nothing in them limits rights you have under the consumer laws of where you live.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will change the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the extension. Continuing to use Channel Tools after a change means you accept it.
