01
Accepting these Terms
By accessing or using ShotMarks, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you use ShotMarks for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms for that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
02
Eligibility and accounts
- You must be at least 13 and meet the minimum age required to use online services in your country.
- You must provide accurate account information and use an account you are authorized to use.
- You are responsible for activity under your account and for protecting access to the Google account used to sign in. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
- You may not share an authenticated session or impersonate another person or organization.
03
The ShotMarks service
ShotMarks lets users create review rooms for YouTube videos, leave timestamped notes, reply, organize feedback with tags, invite or approve collaborators, and export review data. The service stores links and review metadata; it does not host or provide copies of the underlying videos.
Subject to these Terms, ShotMarks grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the service. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the service itself unless we agree in writing.
04
Review rooms and access
Project owners control invitations, access requests, and collaborator roles. Reviewers and commenters may have different capabilities, and owners can change or revoke access. You must only invite people who are permitted to see the project and underlying video.
A public or unlisted YouTube link is not confidential access control. Anyone who obtains an unlisted link may be able to watch the video. Do not use ShotMarks for material that requires stronger protection than YouTube's link-based access provides.
05
Your content
You retain ownership of the project details, notes, replies, tags, and other material you submit to ShotMarks ("Your Content"). You grant ShotMarks a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, reproduce, display, and transmit Your Content only as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the service and make it available to authorized collaborators.
You represent and warrant that:
- You have the rights and permissions needed to submit and share Your Content.
- Your Content and use of ShotMarks do not violate law, contract, privacy, or intellectual-property rights.
- You will not place passwords, authentication tokens, or unnecessary sensitive personal data in review content.
06
YouTube and third-party services
YouTube videos are played through YouTube's embedded player. YouTube, Google sign-in, and other third-party services are not controlled by ShotMarks and may change or become unavailable. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies, including the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
You may not use ShotMarks to download videos, separate audio or video, interfere with YouTube playback or ads, conceal required playback context, or otherwise violate YouTube's rules or another provider's rights.
07
Acceptable use
You may not use ShotMarks to:
- Break the law, infringe rights, harass people, or distribute harmful or deceptive material.
- Access a project, account, or data without authorization or bypass access controls.
- Probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or introduce malware into the service or its providers.
- Scrape, reverse engineer, or automate access except as permitted by law or written authorization.
- Upload secrets or regulated data that ShotMarks is not designed or contracted to handle.
- Use the service in a way that creates material risk for ShotMarks, its users, or third parties.
We may investigate suspected misuse and remove content, restrict access, or suspend accounts when reasonably necessary to protect the service, users, third parties, or comply with law.
08
Our property and feedback
ShotMarks and its software, design, branding, and documentation are owned by ShotMarks or its licensors and are protected by applicable law. Except for the limited right to use the service, these Terms grant no license to our intellectual property.
If you send ideas or feedback, you allow us to use them without restriction or payment, and without an obligation to keep them confidential.
09
Changes, availability, and termination
We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features. We aim to keep ShotMarks reliable but do not promise that it will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Keep your own copies of important review exports and source video information.
You may stop using ShotMarks at any time. Project owners can delete projects in project settings. You may request account deletion by emailing privacy@shotmarks.com. We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, legal requirement, security risk, or harmful use.
Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination-including ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability, and responsibility for prior use-will survive.
10
Disclaimers
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHOTMARKS IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE.
We do not control YouTube videos, collaborator conduct, the accuracy of review content, or whether an unlisted link is reshared. You are responsible for deciding whether ShotMarks is suitable for your content and workflow. Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11
Limits of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHOTMARKS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SHOTMARKS' TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR SHOTMARKS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR US$100. These limits apply regardless of legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply where liability cannot lawfully be limited.
12
Responsibility for claims
To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for losses and third-party claims resulting from Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights. We will give you reasonable notice of a covered claim and may control its defense and settlement where permitted.
13
General terms
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about ShotMarks and replace earlier agreements on that subject. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a reorganization or transfer of the service.
These Terms are governed by applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory consumer protections and rights available in your place of residence remain unaffected.
14
Changes and contact
We may update these Terms to reflect service, legal, or security changes. Material changes will be communicated through the service or another reasonable channel. Continuing to use ShotMarks after updated Terms take effect means you accept them, except where law requires another form of consent.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to legal@shotmarks.com.
