Terms of Service

Effective date: July 21, 2026. The short version: use the tools fairly, respect creators' work, and understand that estimates are estimates.

1. Acceptance

By using playmetric.org you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. What PlayMETRIC does

PlayMETRIC provides free browser tools for YouTube creators, including a thumbnail downloader and an earnings calculator. The tools are provided as is, without warranties of any kind.

3. Thumbnails and copyright

Thumbnail images belong to the channels that created them. PlayMETRIC does not host or store thumbnails; it fetches publicly available images from YouTube's servers at your request. You are solely responsible for how you use downloaded images. Downloading for reference, research, criticism, or archiving your own work is typical fair use. Reuploading someone else's thumbnail as your own content is not okay and may violate copyright law and YouTube's terms.

4. Earnings estimates are not financial advice

The earnings calculator produces estimates from published industry RPM ranges. Actual YouTube earnings vary widely based on advertisers, seasonality, watch time, and factors no calculator can see. Estimates are for information and entertainment only. They are not financial, investment, or business advice, and you should not make financial decisions based solely on them.

5. Fair use of the service

Do not abuse the site: no scraping at bulk volumes, no automated hammering of the API, no attempts to disrupt the service. We rate limit and may block traffic that threatens availability for everyone else.

6. Third party content and links

The site displays content fetched from YouTube and may link to external sites. We are not responsible for third party content, policies, or practices.

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PlayMETRIC and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site, including decisions made based on calculator estimates or use of downloaded images.

8. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
