Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Taffy at taffysearch.com ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Taffy, operated by Arun Agrahri ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Service Description

Taffy turns YouTube channels into searchable knowledge bases. We ingest publicly available YouTube transcripts and comments, process them with AI, and let you search, chat with, and analyze channel content. The Service includes:

  • Conversational search across YouTube channel content
  • AI-powered channel analysis, insights, and reports
  • Featured channel analysis published daily
  • Research guides synthesized from YouTube data
  • API and MCP integration for developer access

3. Accounts & Eligibility

To use certain features of the Service, you must create an account using Google OAuth. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activities that occur under it.

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete such information.

4. Subscriptions & Billing

Taffy offers the following subscription plans:

  • Free ($0/month) -- Today's featured channel, 5 chat messages per day, 25 starter credits
  • Plus ($19/month or $190/year) -- 1 custom channel, archive access, unlimited chat
  • Pro ($79/month or $790/year) -- 10 custom channels, API and MCP access, unlimited chat

All paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

We reserve the right to change our pricing at any time. If we change the price of your subscription, we will provide at least 30 days' notice before the new price takes effect. Continued use of the Service after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Refund Policy

All charges for the current billing cycle are non-refundable.

When you subscribe, we immediately begin processing your YouTube channel data. This involves significant computational resources including transcript extraction, comment analysis, embedding generation, and AI-powered insight creation. These costs are incurred the moment processing begins and cannot be recovered.

You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will retain access to all features until the end of the period you have already paid for. No partial or prorated refunds will be issued for the remaining time in a billing cycle.

By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree that the data processing costs associated with your account are non-recoverable, and that no refund will be provided for any billing cycle in which channel processing has been initiated.

6. YouTube Data & Attribution

Taffy uses publicly available data from YouTube, including video transcripts, comments, and channel metadata. We do not access private or unlisted content. Chat and analysis features are only available for public YouTube channels.

All YouTube content displayed through Taffy is attributed to the original creators and channels. We do not claim ownership of any YouTube content. Our analysis, insights, and summaries are derivative works generated by our AI systems based on this public data.

If you are a YouTube creator and wish to have your channel removed from Taffy, please email us at [email protected] with your channel details. We will review and process removal requests on a case-by-case basis.

7. API & MCP Access

API and MCP access is available on the Pro plan. By using the API, you agree to the following additional terms:

  • You will comply with all applicable rate limits
  • You will not resell, sub-license, or redistribute data obtained through the API
  • You will not use the API to build a competing product or service
  • You will not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying models or algorithms
  • We reserve the right to throttle, suspend, or revoke API access for violations of these terms or excessive use

You retain ownership of any content you submit to the Service, such as search queries and chat messages. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, process, and store that content as necessary to provide and improve the Service.
