◆ TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective date: 2026-04-21. Last updated: 2026-04-21.

1. Who we are

VIDVOID (the "Service", "we", "us") is a web application that plays embedded YouTube videos selected at random with synchronized playback, chat, voting, and optional paid membership tiers. VIDVOID is operated as a sole proprietorship based in Indiana, United States. You can reach us at notkmartorders@gmail.com.

2. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. This matches YouTube's own age minimum. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Service with permission from a parent or legal guardian. The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has signed up, email us and we'll delete the account.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for the security of your account credentials and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at our reasonable discretion, with or without notice.

4. Acceptable use

By using the Service you agree that you will not:

  • Use it to harass, threaten, defame, dox, or incite violence against anyone;
  • Submit video URLs or chat content that is unlawful, including (without limitation) child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or content promoting terrorism or self-harm;
  • Attempt to bypass moderation, login, rate-limits, paywalls, or any access control;
  • Spam the chat, run automated clients, scrape other users' data, or interfere with normal operation of the Service;
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation;
  • Use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law or violates YouTube's Terms of Service or the YouTube API Services Terms of Service.

5. User-generated content

Chat messages, bookmarks, nominations, and any other content you submit ("Your Content") remain your own. You grant VIDVOID a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute Your Content for the limited purpose of operating the Service (for example, showing chat to other users in the room). You are solely responsible for Your Content.

Chat messages are stored in a rolling ring buffer of approximately the most recent 500 messages; older messages are deleted automatically.

6. YouTube content

All videos are streamed via the YouTube IFrame Player API. We do not host, cache, re-broadcast, or download video content. Your interactions with the embedded player (advertisements, recommendations, account state) are governed by YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

Video metadata (title, channel, view count, thumbnail, duration) is retrieved from the YouTube Data API and cached for no longer than 30 days per YouTube's API Services Terms.

7. Paid memberships and tips

VIDVOID offers optional paid membership tiers ("Supporter", "Patron") billed monthly, one-time gifts of those tiers to other users, and one-off tips. All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store your full card number, CVC, or bank details — Stripe does, under Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Key terms:

  • Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically each month at the then-current price until canceled. You can cancel any time from the Stripe Billing Portal linked on the Membership page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
  • Price changes. If we change subscription prices, we'll notify active subscribers at least 14 days before the new price applies. If you don't want to continue at the new price, cancel before it takes effect.
  • Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe will retry per their standard schedule. If all retries fail, your tier reverts to free.
  • Gifts and tips. Gifts (single-month or bulk) and tips are one-time, non-refundable payments. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
  • Refunds. All sales are final. We do not issue refunds except where required by applicable law. Read the full Refund & Cancellation Policy.
  • Taxes. Prices shown are in US Dollars and exclusive of any applicable sales tax or VAT, which Stripe may collect on our behalf at checkout depending on your location.
  • Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback without first contacting us to resolve the issue, we may suspend your account and pursue the disputed amount. Please email notkmartorders@gmail.com first — we'll almost always work something out.

8. Moderation

VIDVOID and designated moderators may mute, kick, ban, or remove any user, message, nomination, or queued video at their discretion and without prior notice. The Service also auto-skips videos that become unavailable or have embedding disabled. Moderation actions are not appealable, except that a wrongful paid-tier suspension without reasonable cause entitles you to a pro-rata refund of the unused portion of the current billing period.

9. DMCA / copyright

VIDVOID respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. If you believe material made accessible on or through the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice containing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or a person authorized to act on their behalf);
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  3. Identification of the infringing material and its URL on vidvoid.com (a link to the specific nomination, chat message, or video page);
  4. Your contact information (name, address, telephone, email);
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send notices to notkmartorders@gmail.com with the subject line "DMCA takedown notice". We will respond within 10 business days. We reserve the right to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Because VIDVOID itself does not host video content (YouTube does), takedowns for the video content itself should also be filed with YouTube directly. Our DMCA process covers only content actually stored on our servers — chat messages, nominations, bookmarks, and the cached metadata described in §6.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided AS IS and AS AVAILABLE, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including (without limitation) warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Videos surfaced by the picker are chosen at random and may include content that is weird, upsetting, or distasteful — viewer discretion is advised.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, VIDVOID and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. In no event shall our aggregate liability exceed the greater of $50 USD or the amounts you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

12. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VIDVOID and its operator from any claim or demand — including reasonable attorneys' fees — made by any third party arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Account termination

You may terminate your account at any time by emailing notkmartorders@gmail.com. We may terminate or suspend your account if you violate these Terms. Upon termination we delete or anonymize your account data within 30 days, except records we are required to retain by law (for example, payment records for tax purposes). Active subscriptions are canceled at termination; see the Refund & Cancellation Policy regarding any pro-rata handling.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be announced in the room chat and by updating the "Effective date" above. If you don't agree with an update, stop using the Service before the effective date. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Indiana, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

Informal resolution. Before filing anything in court, contact us at notkmartorders@gmail.com. We'll try in good faith to resolve the issue within 30 days.

16. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them freely.
