Welcome to VideoVinkel. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the VideoVinkel website and services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. About the Service
VideoVinkel is a discovery platform that organizes and embeds publicly available videos from third-party providers (such as YouTube) using their official APIs and embed players. We do not host the underlying video files. Playback, advertising, and content delivery are handled by the originating platform and are subject to that platform's terms.
2. Eligibility
You may use the Service if you are able to form a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Acceptable use
When using the Service, you agree not to:
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law or the rights of any third party.
- Attempt to circumvent rate limits, anti-abuse measures, or access controls.
- Scrape, mirror, or systematically copy content or metadata presented through the Service for commercial purposes.
- Upload or transmit malware, attempt to disrupt the Service, or interfere with other users.
- Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm any person or community.
4. Third-party content
Videos, thumbnails, titles, descriptions, channel artwork and similar materials are the property of their respective creators and rights holders. VideoVinkel surfaces this content through embeds and metadata only and does not claim ownership. If you are a rights holder and would like content related to you removed or corrected, please contact us via the contact page.
5. User submissions
Messages you send through our forms (including channel requests, feedback, and contact form submissions) may be used by us to respond to you, improve the Service, and operate the catalog. Do not submit confidential information or material you do not have the right to share.
6. Intellectual property
The VideoVinkel name, logo, design, and software are owned by VideoVinkel and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute them without prior written permission.
7. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any specific video or channel will remain available. Views, opinions, and content expressed in third-party videos are those of their creators, not VideoVinkel.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, VideoVinkel and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
9. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be highlighted on the Service where reasonable. Your continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
