9. AI Disclaimer

Summaries are generated by artificial intelligence and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading. AI output may contain errors, hallucinations, or misrepresent the video author's views. Always verify important information against the original video before relying on it. We are not responsible for any decisions made or actions taken based on AI-generated summaries.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service depends on third parties, including YouTube (video pages and captions), AI providers (transcript processing), payment providers, and optional integrations (Notion, Obsidian). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or policies of these third parties. Changes to third-party services (such as YouTube's caption availability) may affect the functionality of the Service.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by Sumreel and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal or internal business purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service except as permitted by law.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that captions will be available for all videos. Some videos do not provide captions; the Service cannot summarize them.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sumreel and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for all claims shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $10 if no payment was made. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sumreel and its operators from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your infringement of any third party's rights.

15. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, including for suspected violation of these Terms, abuse of the Service, or non-payment. You may stop using the Service at any time by removing the extension. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8–14) will survive.

16. Changes to the Service & These Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, or update these Terms, at any time. For material changes to these Terms, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where practical, provide notice within the extension or by email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service; you may request a refund under Section 7 if within the refund window.

17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the operator's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution of any dispute by contacting help@sumreel.app before initiating formal proceedings. Nothing in this section affects mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.
