The terms, in plain sentences.

Who you are dealing with.

Worthwatch is a service of NexusMKTG.com, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company in Boston. In these terms, "we" means that company. The contact is Brett Wharton, Founder, at brett@nexusmktg.com. Worthwatch is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google. Their names appear only to describe what the tool works with.

What Worthwatch is and is not.

Worthwatch judges whether a video is likely worth your time from its transcript. It tells you what it covers, where the substance starts, and what to skip. A verdict is a judgment made by a model from the captions. It can be wrong, incomplete, or miss what matters to you. It is an opinion about a video, not the video, and what you decide to watch or skip because of it is your decision and not a claim against us.

Your account and your age.

You sign in with your email and a code. Keep your email account secure; anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You are responsible for what is done with your account. One account per person. You must be at least 13 to use Worthwatch. You must be 18, or have a parent's or guardian's permission, to buy Pro or a Founding seat.

Acceptable use.

Use the service for yourself. Do not run automated requests against it, resell verdicts, scrape the share pages or the verdict cache, or try to get around the free-tier limits with multiple installs or accounts. You are responsible for complying with YouTube's terms in your own use of YouTube. The extension reads captions in your browser the way the page itself does; it does not save or copy videos. We may limit or close an account that breaks these rules.

Paying, renewing, cancelling, refunds.

Prices are on the pricing page and are charged through Stripe. Pro is a subscription, by the month or by the year: It renews automatically at the end of each period at the price shown at checkout, and your card is charged on each renewal date until you cancel. For the yearly plan we email you a reminder between 15 and 45 days before each renewal. You can cancel from the account page at any time, in the same number of steps it took to subscribe, and the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. We email you the plan, price, and renewal terms when you subscribe. If a price changes, the change applies to your next renewal and we tell you by email at least 14 days before.

Refunds work like this. We do not refund the remaining part of a month. A yearly plan can be refunded in full within 14 days of purchase if the account has used fewer than ten Pro verdicts in that time. A Founding seat is not refundable, except as the Founding section says. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.

Founding seats.

A Founding seat is a one-time purchase of Pro for as long as Worthwatch runs, under whoever runs it, and for at least five years from your purchase. There are 300 seats, and the count on the pricing page is the count. If Worthwatch closes, you get 30 days' notice, and if the closing comes within five years of your purchase we refund the unused months out of sixty. After five years there is no refund.

Referrals.

Referral commissions are 40 percent of a referred person's first year, paid on the terms on the referrals page. When you recommend Worthwatch with your link, say that you earn a commission. We may withhold a commission for self-referrals, refunds, undisclosed recommendations, or misuse.

Your content and ours.

Saved verdicts and transcripts in your library are yours to keep and use for yourself. You give us permission to store them to run the service. The verdicts in the shared cache, the site, the extension, and the name Worthwatch are ours. Video titles, captions, and channel names belong to their creators and to the platform. Worthwatch reads them to produce a judgment and does not claim them.

Copyright notices.

If you own the copyright in a video and believe a transcript stored in a library on Worthwatch infringes it, send a notice to our designated agent at brett@nexusmktg.com with the video's address, the material you want removed, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are the owner or act for the owner, and your signature. We remove the material and tell the account that saved it. An account that stores infringing material repeatedly is closed.

Our designated agent is registered with the US Copyright Office under number DMCA-1086217. The agent is Brett Wharton, NexusMKTG.com, LLC, 430 Stuart Street, Unit 23H, Boston, MA 02116, brett@nexusmktg.com.

Availability, and the limits of our liability.

Worthwatch depends on YouTube's pages and feeds, a transcript provider, a model provider, and Cloudflare. Any of them can change or fail, and the extension can stop working until it is updated. We do our best to keep it working and promise no uptime. The service is provided as it is and as available, and we make no warranty the law does not require us to make. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for anything you decide from a verdict. Our total liability for everything arising from the service is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Some states do not allow some of these limits; where that is so, our liability is limited to the smallest amount the law permits.

Your responsibility to us.

If you break these terms, store material you had no right to store, or misuse the service, and someone brings a claim against us because of it, you will cover our costs and any amount we have to pay.

Closing your account, and changes.

You can delete your account at any time from the account page. We may close an account that breaks these terms. We can close the service with 30 days' notice by email, refunding any prepaid period that would not be used and honoring the Founding section. When these terms change, the date at the top changes and the change is described in one line here. If a change affects a paid plan in a way that matters, we email subscribers at least 14 days before it takes effect, and you can cancel before then.

Where disputes go.

We are based in the United States. These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Any dispute that cannot be settled by email goes to the state or federal courts in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, or to small claims court where you live if your claim qualifies. Questions go to brett@nexusmktg.com.
