YouTube Terms of Service

This document is YouTube's Terms of Service (effective January 5, 2022), governing use of the YouTube platform by users in Vietnam (as indicated by the country code) and establishing a binding agreement between users and Google LLC, the named service provider incorporated under Delaware law. The terms authorize YouTube to monetize user-uploaded content without compensation by default, grant YouTube a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to reproduce, distribute, and prepare derivative works from that content, and reserve broad rights to suspend or terminate accounts for material breach, legal compliance, or perceived harm risk. Notably, the agreement includes a user indemnification clause requiring users to defend YouTube and its affiliates against claims arising from their use of the service, combined with a liability cap limiting YouTube's total exposure to the greater of revenue paid to the user in the prior 12 months or USD $500, which is narrower than protections users might assume and may be constrained by applicable consumer protection law in certain jurisdictions. The governing law clause designates California law and Santa Clara County courts as the exclusive forum, which may create practical access barriers for international users, particularly Vietnamese residents, and may interact with local consumer protection frameworks depending on applicable jurisdiction; GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and Vietnam's data protection regulations may each impose obligations on how YouTube processes user data that operate independently of what these terms assert.
