Terms & Conditions

You must be at least 18 years old and the parent or legal guardian of any child whose profile you create. By using the service, you confirm that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials, including your password and parent PIN, confidential, and for all activity that happens under your account.

Tube Guard lets parents search for YouTube channels, approve the channels they trust, create child profiles, and set viewing controls such as daily watch limits and bedtime schedules. Children using a profile can watch videos only from channels the parent has approved.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time, and we may set or adjust limits on the service to keep it running reliably.

You are in control of, and responsible for, the channels you approve and the settings you configure for each child profile. Tube Guard is a tool to help you manage your child's viewing — it is not a substitute for parental supervision.

• check_circleYou decide which channels are approved and can remove them at any time.
• check_circleYou are responsible for reviewing channels before approving them.
• check_circleContent within an approved channel may change over time, as channels are operated by independent third parties.

The service relies on YouTube API Services to discover channels and retrieve video content. By using the service, you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

We do not own, host, create, or control YouTube videos or channels. All such content belongs to its respective owners and is subject to YouTube's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or suitability of third-party content, and channels may change, add, or remove videos at any time.

• check_circleUse the service for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms or the YouTube Terms of Service.
• check_circleAttempt to bypass parent controls, security measures, or access restrictions.
• check_circleInterfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the service or its systems.
• check_circleCopy, scrape, resell, or misuse data obtained through the service.

The service, including its design, software, branding, and content we create (excluding third-party content such as YouTube videos), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for its intended personal, family purpose.

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we work hard to help you create a safer viewing experience, we cannot guarantee that every video within an approved channel will be suitable for your child, that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that third-party content will always be available.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tube Guard and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service or any third-party content accessed through it. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tube Guard and its operators from any claims, losses, or expenses arising out of your misuse of the service or your breach of these Terms.

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the service or its users. On termination, your right to use the service ends, and we may delete associated data in line with our Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless a different mandatory law applies to you as a consumer.
