1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using YouThumb ("the Service"), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provision of this agreement. If you do not agree to abide by these terms, please do not use this service.
2. Description of Service
YouThumb provides a web-based utility that extracts publicly accessible thumbnail images from YouTube video URLs. The Service acts solely as a technological conduit to retrieve data that is already publicly hosted by Google/YouTube.
3. Copyright & Intellectual Property
Crucial Notice: YouThumb does not own, host, or claim any copyright over the images extracted. All YouTube thumbnails are the intellectual property of their respective video creators and YouTube. The Service does not grant you a license to use these images commercially.
You agree that you will not use the downloaded images in a manner that infringes upon the copyright or intellectual property rights of the original creators. Any commercial use, redistribution, or modification of the extracted images is done entirely at your own legal risk.
4. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. The extraction relies on YouTube's current URL structure and API formats, which may change without notice.
5. Limitation of Liability
In no event shall YouThumb or its operators be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the service or the downloaded images.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You will not attempt to disrupt, overload, or circumvent the Service, misrepresent the source of downloaded images, or use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or the rights of third parties. Automated bulk extraction that degrades the Service for others may be rate-limited or blocked.
7. Third-Party Services
The Service interacts with publicly available resources operated by Google/YouTube. Your use of YouTube content remains subject to YouTube’s own Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or YouTube, and we do not control their systems, URL structures, or availability.
8. Service Availability and Changes
Thumbnail extraction depends on YouTube’s current URL structure and image formats, which may change without notice. We do not guarantee that every video will yield a thumbnail, that HD renditions will exist for any particular video, or that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
