Terms of Service

ThumbRival provides tools for YouTube creators to upload thumbnail images, preview them in simulated YouTube-style feeds alongside real competitor results, receive AI-generated scoring and feedback, compare multiple thumbnail versions, save history where your plan supports it, and create shareable score artifacts.

The Service does not publish or upload your thumbnails to YouTube. You remain responsible for what you ultimately publish on YouTube or elsewhere.

You must provide accurate account information. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for activity under your account. Notify us at support@thumbrival.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, create risk, or abuse the Service.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation.
• Upload unlawful, harassing, hateful, exploitative, or abusive content.
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of others.
• Distribute malware, probe or bypass security, or overload infrastructure (including excessive automated access).
• Reverse engineer the Service or resell access without written permission.

Intellectual property complaints may be handled under our DMCA / IP policy.

You retain ownership of thumbnails and other content you upload (“User Content”). You represent you have the rights needed to upload that content.

You grant ThumbRival a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, display (to you), and store User Content only as needed to provide the Service — including AI analysis, previews, comparisons, history storage, and shareable outputs you initiate.

The Service may include free and paid plans (e.g., Starter, Pro). Fees are charged in USD through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize charges to your payment method on the billing cycle you select.

Subscriptions renew until canceled. You may cancel from your account; access typically continues through the end of the paid period. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with reasonable advance notice.

Payment processing is subject to Stripe’s terms.

If we offer trials or promotions, specific terms will be presented at signup. Unless stated otherwise, paid features may convert to a paid subscription when a trial ends unless you cancel in time.

Features that rely on YouTube data are also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. AI features rely on third-party model providers; outputs are generated for your use of the Service.

The Service software, branding, and non-user materials are owned by ThumbRival or its licensors. Except for the limited rights granted in these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

AI-generated scores, labels, comparisons, and suggestions are informational and creative aids only. We do not guarantee any specific outcome on YouTube or elsewhere— including views, click-through rate, revenue, ranking, or audience behavior. You are solely responsible for editorial and publishing decisions.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THUMBRIVAL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (US $50), EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time, including for breach, risk, or legal requirements. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitations, and dispute terms) will survive.

Data handling after termination is described in our Privacy Policy.

We may modify these Terms. We will update the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice for material changes where appropriate. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to ThumbRival’s operations, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction require otherwise.
