These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the YTWatch application (“the app”), operated by Tianqi Wang, an independent developer based in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“we,” “us”). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. What YTWatch Is (and Is Not)
YTWatch is an independent, third-party client for viewing YouTube content on Apple Watch. YTWatch is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube, Google LLC, or Apple Inc. “YouTube” is a trademark of Google LLC. “Apple Watch” is a trademark of Apple Inc.
All video content available through the app is hosted, owned, and controlled by YouTube and its content creators. Videos are played through YouTube’s official embedded player. We do not host, store, upload, or distribute any video content.
2. YouTube Terms Apply
The app uses YouTube API Services. By using the app, you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Your use of YouTube content through the app must comply with YouTube’s terms and community guidelines.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country to use YouTube) to use the app.
4. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
5. Subscriptions and Purchases
- The app offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time lifetime purchase, billed through your Apple Account.
- Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store account settings.
- Free trials, where offered, convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited upon purchasing a subscription.
- Prices may vary by region and are subject to change; changes apply to future billing periods only.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under App Store policies; we cannot issue refunds directly. You can request a refund at https://reportaproblem.apple.com
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the app in violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service or any applicable law;
- attempt to download, extract, or redistribute video or audio content;
- reverse engineer, modify, or interfere with the app or its security features;
- use the app in any manner that could disable, overburden, or impair YouTube API Services.
7. Availability; Changes to the Service
The app depends on third-party services (YouTube API Services, the App Store) that we do not control. Features may change, be interrupted, or become unavailable if those services change, and we may modify or discontinue features at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to keep the app functional, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability.
8. Intellectual Property
The app’s software, design, and branding are owned by us. All YouTube content, trademarks, and channel materials belong to their respective owners. If you believe content accessible through the app infringes your rights, note that content is hosted by YouTube — please use YouTube’s own reporting and takedown tools. For issues concerning the app itself, contact [email protected].
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you; in the EU, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory consumer rights.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the app if you materially breach these Terms. You may stop using the app at any time; deleting the app removes locally stored data. Sections 8–10 survive termination.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last Updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and subject to any mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
