Terms of Service

Using VidAEO

By creating an account or using VidAEO, you agree to these terms. If you're using VidAEO on behalf of a company, you're agreeing on its behalf too, and confirming you have the authority to do that.

What VidAEO does

VidAEO scores YouTube videos on how likely they are to be structured in a way AI engines tend to cite, and generates suggested rewrites for titles, descriptions, and chapters. Paid plans add citation tracking and channel-wide audits.

No guarantees

We don't and can't promise that any video will be cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or any other AI engine after you use VidAEO. Citation depends on factors outside our control and outside yours. Scores, rewrites, and citation checks are based on structural signals research suggests matter — they're not a guarantee of outcome.

Your account

You're responsible for what happens under your account. Only submit YouTube videos and channels you have the right to analyze — VidAEO reads publicly available metadata and transcripts, but you shouldn't use it to violate anyone else's rights.

Plans and billing

• The free plan doesn't require a card and doesn't auto-upgrade.
• Paid plans (Optimize, Track, Audit) renew monthly and are billed through Stripe.
• You can cancel anytime from Settings → Manage billing. Cancellation stops future billing; we don't provide refunds for partial months already paid.
• Switching plans mid-cycle takes effect immediately, and Stripe prorates the difference.
• Usage limits reset on the first of each calendar month.

Acceptable use

Don't use VidAEO to:

• Attempt to overwhelm, scrape, or abuse the service beyond normal use
• Resell or redistribute VidAEO's reports as your own product
• Reverse-engineer the scoring model to game AI engines in bad faith
• Violate YouTube's or any AI provider's own terms of service

We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Who owns what

You own your video content — we're just reading public metadata about it. The scores, rewrites, and reports VidAEO generates for you are yours to use. VidAEO itself — the scoring model, the app, the brand — is ours.

Service "as is"

VidAEO is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We work to keep it running and accurate, but we're not liable for lost revenue, lost citations, or any other indirect damages resulting from your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms or the scoring model as our understanding of AI citation improves. Scoring model changes are logged on the changelog. Material changes to these terms will be reflected here with an updated date.
