Plain-language terms.

Short version: the extension is free, provided as-is, and is an informational tool. Nothing it shows is financial, legal, or investment advice. Don't sue us if a record is wrong — tell us and we'll fix it.

Effective 20 April 2026

1. What you're getting

Ownership Lens is a free browser extension that displays ownership metadata about YouTube channels. The data is compiled from public sources (SEC filings, press releases, news reporting). Every record is best-effort accurate at the time it was added.

2. No warranty

The extension and its data are provided as-is, with no warranty of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We make reasonable efforts to keep records current, but deals get amended, sources go stale, and mistakes happen. If something looks wrong, please report it.

3. Not advice

Nothing in the extension is investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, or journalistic advice. The ownership labels are summaries of publicly reported transactions, not endorsements or judgments about any channel, creator, or company.

4. Acceptable use

• Use the extension for personal, research, educational, or journalistic purposes.
• Don't scrape the dataset and resell it as a commercial product.
• Don't represent the extension as affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by YouTube / Google / Alphabet.

5. Third parties

The extension links to Ko-fi, Google Forms, Cloudflare Workers, and the Chrome Web Store. Your interactions with those services are governed by their terms and privacy policies, not ours.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the maintainers of Ownership Lens are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the use or inability to use the extension, including but not limited to decisions made on the basis of information displayed in the banner.

7. Corrections & takedowns

If you are a channel owner or legal representative and you believe a record is inaccurate, send a correction request with a verifiable source via the support page. We will review and respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Changes

These terms may change. If they do, the effective date at the top will move forward. Continued use of the extension after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
