ConductAtlas User-Protection Index
Insufficient coverage
Insufficient coverage to score
Only 2 of 6 governance dimensions are confidently known for YouTube Ads — too few for a headline score. What we do have is shown below.
How is this scored? →

Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from YouTube Ads’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.

Key Governance Provisions
User Must Indemnify YouTube Against Claims from Use

The indemnification obligation means users may be required to bear the financial and legal cost of defending YouTube Ads against third-party claims connected to the user's conduct.

Total YouTube Liability Capped at Revenue Paid or USD 500

The liability cap limits the maximum financial recovery a user can obtain from YouTube Ads regardless of the nature or severity of the claim.

Service Provided As-Is Without Warranties

An as-is disclaimer means users cannot rely on YouTube Ads having made enforceable promises about the Service's quality, reliability, or content.

YouTube May Suspend or Terminate Account for Breach

Suspension or termination of a user's Google account, not just Service access, means the consequences of a breach can extend beyond YouTube Ads to other Google services tied to that account.

Worldwide License Granted to YouTube for Content

The license grant means YouTube Ads acquires broad rights to use submitted Content globally and can sublicense or transfer those rights, without paying the user a royalty.
