Terms of Service

Last updated: August 7, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Vid2Shorts (vid2shorts.com) when you use the service. We kept them short and readable on purpose. Using the site means you accept them; if anything here does not work for you, the right move is simply not to use the service.

1. What Vid2Shorts is

Vid2Shorts is a browser based tool that takes a YouTube link you provide, processes the video on our servers, and produces vertical short form clips with automatic framing and captions. The first Short is free without an account. Paid plans lift limits and remove the watermark.

2. Your content and your responsibility

You choose what to process. That choice carries the responsibility with it:

• Use the service for content you own, content you have permission to repurpose, or content whose license clearly allows it. Clipping your own uploads is the intended use.
• Respect the platforms. Your use of YouTube is governed by YouTube's own Terms of Service, and it is your responsibility to comply with them when you choose what to process.
• Respect the law where you live. Copyright, publicity, and privacy laws differ by country, and you are the one who knows your situation.

We claim no ownership over anything you make with the tool. Your clips are yours.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• process content you have no rights to use commercially or redistribute;
• use the service for anything unlawful, deceptive, or harmful;
• flood the service with automated requests, scrape it, or resell access to it;
• probe, bypass, or interfere with its security, rate limits, or free tier controls.

We may throttle, block, or refuse service to protect the platform and the people using it. We would rather never do this, and almost never have to.

4. The free tier and paid plans

The free Short exists so you can judge the quality with zero risk. Paid plans are priced and described on the site at the moment you buy; the price you see at checkout is the deal. If a purchase ever goes wrong, write to us and a human will fix it: billing disputes are handled by conversation before anything else.

5. Availability, no warranty

We work to keep the service fast and available, and we publish honest status information when something breaks. Still, the service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Video platforms change constantly, and a processing pipeline that depends on them can fail in ways we did not choose. When that happens we fix it; what we cannot promise is that it never happens.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vid2Shorts and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or lost goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, which for free users is zero. Nothing in these terms removes rights that consumer law gives you and that cannot be waived.

7. Third party services

Vid2Shorts interacts with YouTube to fetch the videos you point it at, and is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. All trademarks belong to their owners.

8. Termination

You can stop using the service at any moment; there is no account to close on the free tier. We may suspend or end access for abuse of these terms. If we ever discontinue the service entirely, paid users with active time remaining will be treated fairly.

9. Changes to these terms

If the service changes in ways that matter, these terms will change too, and the date at the top moves. Continued use after a change means acceptance. We will never hide a significant change in the fine print; significant means visible.

10. Contact

Anything unclear, or a situation these terms do not cover: info@vid2shorts.com. Talking first is the whole philosophy of this document.
