1. Your relationship with YouTube

1.1 Your use of the YouTube website (the "Website") and any YouTube products, channels,
software, data feeds and services, including the YouTube embeddable video player (the
"YouTube Player") provided to you on or from or through the Website by YouTube
(collectively the "Service") is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and
YouTube. "YouTube" means YouTube LLC, whose principal place of business is at 901
Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, United States.

1.2 Your legal agreement with YouTube is made up of (A) the terms and conditions set out in
this document, (B) YouTube's Privacy Policy (http://www.youtube.co.uk/t/privacy) and (C)
YouTube's Community Guidelines (http://www.youtube.co.uk/t/community_guidelines)
(collectively called the "Terms").

1.3 The Terms form a legally binding agreement between you and YouTube in relation to
your use of the Service. It is important that you take the time to read them carefully.

1.4 The Terms apply to all users of the Service, including users who are also contributors of
Content, on the Service. "Content" includes the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos,
sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, interactive features and other materials you
may view on, access through or contribute to the Service.

2. Accepting the Terms

2.1 In order to use the Service, you must firstly agree to the Terms. You may not use the
Service if you do not accept the Terms.

2.2 You can accept the Terms by simply using the Service. You understand and agree that
YouTube will treat your use of the Service as acceptance of the Terms from that point
onwards.

2.3 You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age
to form a binding contract with YouTube, or (b) you are a person who is either barred or
otherwise legally prohibited from receiving or using the Service under the laws of the country

3. Changes to the Terms

YouTube reserves the right to make changes the Terms from time to time, for example to
address changes to the law or regulatory changes or changes to functionality offered through
the Service. Therefore you must look at the Terms regularly to check for such changes. The
modified version of the Terms (the "Modified Terms") will be posted at
http://www.youtube.co.uk/t/terms or made available within the Service (for any modified
additional terms). If you do not agree to the Modified Terms you must stop using the Service.
Your continued use of the Service after the date the Modified Terms are posted will
constitute your acceptance of the Modified Terms.

your YouTube account that you become aware of.

that occurs under your YouTube account.

5. General restrictions on use

5.1 YouTube hereby grants you permission to access and use the Service, subject to the
following express conditions, and you agree that your failure to adhere to any of these
conditions shall constitute a breach of these Terms on your part:

1. you agree not to distribute any part of or parts of the Website or the Service, including
but not limited to any Content, in any medium without YouTube's prior written
authorisation, unless YouTube makes available the means for such distribution
through functionality offered by the Service (such as the YouTube Player);
2. you agree not to alter or modify any part of the Website or any of the Service
(including but not limited to the YouTube Player and its related technologies);

playback pages of the Website itself, the YouTube Player, or such other means as
YouTube may explicitly designate for this purpose;
4. you agree not to (or attempt to) circumvent, disable or otherwise interfere with any
security related features of the Service or features that (i) prevent or restrict use or
copying of Content or (ii) enforce limitations on use of the Service or the content
accessible via the Service;

2. the sale of advertising, sponsorships or promotions placed on or within the
Service, or Content;
3. the sale of advertising, sponsorships or promotions on any page of an ad-

YouTube, (ii) maintaining an original channel on the Website in order to promote a

back to the Website;
8. you agree not to use or launch any automated system (including, without limitation,

not modified) web browser;
9. you agree not to collect or harvest any personal data of any user of the Website or any
Service (and agree that this shall be deemed to include YouTube account names);

respect to their Content; and
12. you agree not to access Content or any reason other than your personal, non-
commercial use solely as intended through and permitted by the normal functionality
of the Service, and solely for Streaming. "Streaming" means a contemporaneous
digital transmission of the material by YouTube via the Internet to a user operated
Internet enabled device in such a manner that the data is intended for real-time
viewing and not intended to be downloaded (either permanently or temporarily),
copied, stored, or redistributed by the user.

otherwise exploit any Content for any other purposes without the prior written consent

of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. YouTube reserves the right to
revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the Service which YouTube

(permanently or temporarily) providing the Service (or any features within the Service) to
you or to users generally at YouTube's sole discretion, without prior notice to you. You may

you stop using the Service.

you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the
consequences (including any loss or damage which YouTube may suffer) of any such breach.

changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, or postings on the Service.

14.3 You agree that if YouTube does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which
is contained in the Terms (or which YouTube has the benefit of under any applicable law),
this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of YouTube's rights and that those rights or
remedies will still be available to YouTube.

14.4 If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on this matter, rules that any
provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from the Terms
without affecting the rest of the Terms. The remaining provisions of the Terms will continue
to be valid and enforceable.

14.5 You acknowledge and agree that each member of the group of companies of which
YouTube is a part shall be third party beneficiaries to the Terms and that such other

company shall be a third party beneficiary of the Terms.

14.6 The Terms, and your relationship with YouTube under the Terms, shall be governed by
English law. You and YouTube agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
England to resolve any legal matter arising from the Terms. Notwithstanding this, you agree

of urgent legal remedy) in any jurisdiction.
