Hypertube Terms of Service

Effective date / last updated: October 17, 2026

Who we are and what this document covers

Hypertube (www.hypertube.io) is operated by ArtWorld ARTUR KURYLA, ul. Franciszka Klimczaka 5 lok. 59, 02-797 Warszawa, Poland, REGON 522395721 (“Hypertube”, “we”, “us”). “You” means the person using Hypertube.

These Terms cover the website, your account, your balance, the deal chat, and the tools we provide for buying and selling YouTube channels and YouTube-related services (together, the “Services”). By using Hypertube you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Hypertube.

These Terms are between you and Hypertube. They cover only our service to you, not the sale itself. A sale on Hypertube is a contract between a Buyer and a Seller. They decide what is sold and for how much. Hypertube is not a party to that contract.

All sales are final once a deal is Completed. Channels and services are sold “as is”. There are no refunds after Completion. See Sections 6, 7, 9 and our Refund Policy.

Write to [email protected] with any question, complaint, dispute or notice.

1. Hypertube's role

1.1. Hypertube is a marketplace where Users with an account (“Buyers”) buy YouTube channels (“Channels”) and YouTube-related services (“Services Listings”) offered by other Users (“Sellers”). Each sale is a “User Transaction” or “deal”.

1.2. Hypertube does not own, create, sell, resell, supply, control, offer or deliver any Channel or service. We keep no inventory. Every Listing is offered by the Seller named on it (by username), and that Seller is the only supplier of what is sold.

1.3. Hypertube is not a party to any deal. The Seller decides what to sell and at what price. Hypertube acts only as a disclosed intermediary engaged by the Seller to organise the sale through the marketplace, to provide the deal tools in Sections 6 and 7, and to support both sides. Hypertube never acts in its own name in a deal.

1.4. A Channel is transferred inside Google's Brand Account system, outside Hypertube's infrastructure, from the Seller to the Buyer. A service is rendered by the Seller to the Buyer. Hypertube does not decide when the Buyer has received the Channel or service: a deal is Completed when the Buyer confirms receipt or when the time periods in Sections 6 and 7 expire.

1.5. Sellers on Hypertube are private individuals selling their own property. We do not allow business or corporate Sellers.

1.6. Hypertube does not hold User funds. All payments go through a regulated third-party payment provider (Section 5).

1.7. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC. Hypertube is not affiliated with, endorsed or approved by YouTube or Google.

1.8. Hypertube uses YouTube API Services. By using Hypertube, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. How we handle YouTube data is described in our Privacy Policy; Google's handling is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

2. Your account

2.1. You must be 18 or older. We do not allow minors, even with parental consent.

2.2. Give accurate, complete information when you register and keep it up to date.

2.3. Your account is personal. You may have only one. Do not share it, let others use it, or use someone else's. Multiple accounts will all be terminated.

2.4. Identity verification (KYC) is done by our partner (currently Didit) and/or by our payment provider.

2.5. You are responsible for everything done through your account, including through your linked Google account, whether or not you authorised it. Keep your credentials safe, change them if you suspect a problem, and tell us at [email protected] immediately about any unauthorised use.

3. Acceptable use

Follow the law and YouTube's rules, sell only what you own, keep the deal on the platform, and do not cheat the other side or us.

3.1. Use Hypertube only in line with these Terms and all applicable laws, including YouTube's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines and AdSense policies.

3.2. Do not use Hypertube to promote or sell anything other than YouTube channels and YouTube-related services through Listings. Do not claim or imply that Hypertube endorses you or your Listings.

3.3. Do not use automated tools to extract data from Hypertube.

3.4. The following conduct may lead to the measures in Section 4:

  1. Breaking any law, regulation or third-party right.
  2. Fraud, or misrepresenting your identity, age, ownership of a Channel, or eligibility to use Hypertube.
  3. Using another User's account, or holding more than one account.
  4. Collecting other Users' personal data.
  5. Defaming, harassing, threatening or abusing others.
  6. Probing or attacking our security, or introducing malware.
  7. Overloading, disrupting or tampering with the Services.
  8. As a Seller: listing a Channel you do not own or may not sell; listing a Channel or service that breaks YouTube or AdSense rules; giving false or incomplete information in a Listing or in chat; hiding known problems with a Channel.
  9. Manipulating prices, ratings or reviews; buying with no intention to complete; using inflated Listings to move balance between accounts.
  10. Contacting another User outside Hypertube, exchanging contact details, or taking a deal that started on Hypertube off the platform to avoid fees or the deal tools.
  11. As a Seller: not inviting the Agent within the time in Section 6; changing the Channel during the Inspection Period; trying to get the Channel back after Completion.
  12. As a Buyer: refusing a Channel or service after buying; trying to cancel after making a Channel Change (Section 6.6).
  13. Charging back or disputing with your bank a payment used for a Completed deal.
  14. Anything else that violates the letter or spirit of these Terms.

3.5. You may not use Hypertube if you are in, live in, or access it from a country under comprehensive EU, Polish, US or UK sanctions (including North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions), or if you are on a sanctions list. We may block other high-risk jurisdictions.

3.6. To report another User, email [email protected] with: why you believe the conduct breaks these Terms or the law; the URL or other location of the content; your name and email; and a statement that your report is accurate. Report in good faith. We may act against Users who abuse reporting.

4. What we do about violations

We can remove listings, suspend or terminate accounts, and hold your balance if we suspect fraud. We do not charge fines. Reclaiming a sold channel or charging back a completed deal means a permanent ban.

4.1. If you violate these Terms, harm us or other Users, break the law, or become subject to legal or governmental action, we may:

4.2. We do not charge fines. None of these measures gives you a claim for compensation.

4.3. We choose the measure based on how serious the violation is, the risk to others and to us, and whether it is repeated. Repeated or multiple violations get the strictest measure.

4.4. If a Seller regains access to a sold Channel after Completion by any means, including Google account recovery, we will terminate the Seller's account permanently, hold the Seller's balance to the extent the law allows, and, on request, report the matter and provide the Seller's verified identity data to law enforcement.

4.5. A chargeback on funds used for a Completed deal means permanent termination of the Buyer's account. We may report chargeback fraud to law enforcement.

4.6. If your account is suspended or terminated, do not open another. It will be terminated too.

4.7. If you disagree with a measure, write to [email protected]. We will review and reply within a reasonable time (see also Section 20).

4.8. Breaches of AML, terrorist-financing or sanctions laws mean immediate suspension or termination and may be reported to authorities.

5. Your balance and payments

5.1. All payments are processed by Payment Provider (the “Payment Provider”), a regulated payment services provider. It holds User funds in sub-accounts under its own control and, with our verification partner, performs onboarding and KYC as AML rules require.

5.2. We do not hold your funds. Hypertube keeps an internal record of your balance to display it and to run deals, but does not hold, own or control the money. Funds stay with the Payment Provider until they are paid to a Seller after Completion or returned to you on withdrawal. When you top up, you are not buying anything from Hypertube. You are placing funds with the Payment Provider for use in deals. Hypertube is not an escrow service, does not hold funds or property on behalf of any person, and is not a payment provider. All payment processing is performed by independent third-party providers, and you authorise us to share your payment instructions with them.

5.3. You can top up in advance or at the moment of purchase, by card, cryptocurrency, or any other method the Payment Provider offers. Crypto top-ups are converted at the Payment Provider's rate at the time of receipt. Unused balance can stay on your account indefinitely. Balances earn no interest.

5.4. Balance can be used only to buy Listings on Hypertube and to pay Service Fees. It cannot be transferred to another User.

5.5. You can withdraw at any time after identity verification. Withdrawals usually take up to 48 hours to process. They go back by the same method you used to top up (card to card, crypto to crypto), unless we agree otherwise on request. Seller proceeds are credited to the Seller's balance 7 calendar days after Completion (Sections 6.8 and 7.3) and can then be withdrawn the same way. Withdrawal fees and minimums, if any, are at hypertube.io/fees. Provider or bank charges for withdrawal are on you.

5.6. We are not responsible if a payment fails or is refused by the Payment Provider, your bank or your card issuer, and any resulting costs are yours.

5.7. Hypertube is not a bank or a financial institution. Your balance is not a deposit and is not covered by any deposit guarantee scheme. We work to keep your balance accessible but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access.

5.8. Deals and balance movements may be monitored for AML and sanctions compliance. Suspicious activity may be reported to authorities.

5.9. We may instruct the Payment Provider to hold all or part of your balance while we investigate suspected fraud, a chargeback, ban evasion, a Channel reclaim (Section 4.4), or a violation of law. Otherwise, termination of your account does not affect your right to withdraw your verified balance.

6. Buying and selling channels

6.0. A Channel sale transfers the YouTube channel as it exists in its Brand Account: the channel itself, its handle, videos, Shorts, playlists, community posts, subscribers and channel settings. It does not include the Seller's Google account, the Seller's AdSense account, any personal data of the Seller, or any third-party agreements or sponsorships, unless the Listing expressly says otherwise.

6.0a. By listing a Channel, the Seller warrants to Hypertube and to each Buyer that: (a) the Seller owns the Channel and is entitled to sell it; (b) the Channel is transferable through a Brand Account; (c) the Channel is not subject to any pending claim, strike, dispute or restriction that is not disclosed in the Listing; and (d) the Listing is true, accurate and complete and omits no material information about the Channel's history or performance. A Buyer may rely on these warranties directly against the Seller.

6.1. A deal is formed when the Buyer clicks “Buy” and the Listing price plus the Service Fee are debited from the Buyer's balance. The Payment Provider holds the price until Completion or cancellation.

6.2. Within 24 hours the Seller must invite Hypertube's transaction agent (the “Agent”) to the Channel's Brand Account as an Owner. The Agent is never made Primary Owner. If the Seller misses the 24 hours, the Buyer may cancel unilaterally, and the price and Service Fee return to the Buyer's balance.

6.3. The Agent then invites the Buyer to the Brand Account as a Manager. The Buyer must accept and complete the Google authentication in Section 6.7 within the time shown on the deal page, or the deal may be cancelled.

6.4. When the deal starts, our monitoring tool records the Channel's publicly available state (the “Snapshot”): its name, handle, description, profile picture, banner and list of public videos. The tool reads only public data through the YouTube Data API and does not use the Buyer's or the Seller's Google access. It compares the Channel with the Snapshot during the Inspection Period. Private, unlisted and scheduled videos, monetisation and comment settings, owners and managers of the Brand Account and AdSense linking are not visible to the tool; the Agent, as an Owner of the Brand Account, checks them directly in YouTube Studio and Google's settings.

6.5. From the moment the Buyer accepts the invitation and completes authentication, the Buyer has 7 calendar days (the “Inspection Period”) to inspect the Channel inside YouTube Studio. Inspecting is the Buyer's responsibility. During this period the Buyer may cancel for any reason by pressing “Cancel Deal” and telling the Agent, but only if no Channel Change has been made (Section 6.6). On cancellation, the Agent removes the Buyer from the Brand Account, the Channel stays with the Seller, and the price and Service Fee return to the Buyer's balance in full.

6.6. A “Channel Change” is any change to the Channel after the Snapshot, including: uploading or scheduling a video or Short; deleting, hiding or editing content; changing the name, handle, description, logo or banner; linking or unlinking AdSense; adding or removing owners or managers; changing monetisation, comment or other settings. If a Channel Change made by the Buyer is detected by the tool or by the Agent, the Buyer has started using the Channel and has accepted it: the Buyer can no longer cancel, and no refund is possible. The Seller may make no Channel Change during the Inspection Period unless both sides agreed otherwise in the deal chat; if the Seller does, the Buyer may cancel.

6.7. After accepting the Manager invitation, the Buyer connects the Channel by signing in with Google and granting Hypertube read-only access (YouTube scope youtube.readonly). We use this access only to confirm that the Buyer has access to the purchased Channel, when connecting and again when the Buyer confirms the invitation, and, for 14 days after Completion, to check that the Buyer still has access and show this status on the deal page, so we can detect reclaim attempts (Section 4.4). The Buyer cannot confirm the invitation until this check succeeds. How we handle this data is described in our Privacy Policy. The Buyer can revoke this access at any time with the “Disconnect Google” button on the deal page or at security.google.com/settings/security/permissions. Revoking access is not a breach of these Terms. Once access is revoked, reclaim monitoring for that Channel stops, and Hypertube may be unable to detect or act on a reclaim attempt under Section 4.4.

6.8. Unless cancelled under 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 or 6.6, the deal is Completed at the end of the Inspection Period. The Agent, acting on the instruction the Seller gave when listing the Channel, transfers Primary Owner rights to the Buyer and removes the Agent, the Seller and every other email from the Brand Account. On Completion the Service Fee is paid to Hypertube. The price is released to the Seller's balance 7 calendar days after Completion (the “Payout Hold”). Reclaim monitoring under Section 6.7 runs for 14 days after Completion and covers the Payout Hold.

6.9. Unless the Buyer and Seller agree otherwise in the deal chat:

6.9a. After Completion the Buyer must link their own AdSense account. The Buyer is responsible for running the Channel within YouTube, Google and AdSense rules. The Seller must not try to reclaim, recover or access the Channel.

6.10. Brand Account transfer is an official Google feature, but Channels remain subject to YouTube's and Google's policies and decisions at all times, including strikes, demonetisation and termination, which neither Hypertube nor the Seller controls.

7. Buying and selling services

You set the deadline, the Seller delivers, and you confirm. If you do neither, the deal confirms itself 3 days after the deadline. Disputes are possible before confirmation, not after.

7.1. A deal is formed when the Buyer clicks “Buy” on a Services Listing and the price plus Service Fee are debited from the Buyer's balance. The Payment Provider holds the price until Completion or cancellation.

7.2. The Buyer sets the deadline on the deal page. The Seller must deliver what the Listing describes within it. Both sides communicate in the deal chat.

7.3. The deal is Completed when the Buyer confirms receipt of the full result, or automatically 3 calendar days after the deadline if the Buyer has neither confirmed nor opened a dispute. On Completion the Service Fee is paid to Hypertube, and the price is released to the Seller's balance 7 calendar days after Completion (the “Payout Hold”).

7.4. Before Completion, the Buyer may open a dispute with the Agent if the service was not delivered, was delivered only partly, or does not match the Listing. The Agent reviews under Section 10 and the Refund Policy and may return the price in full or in part to the Buyer's balance. Where a service involves revealing hidden information or access data, the Agent may require a continuous screen recording of the reveal as a condition of any refund.

7.5. No refund after Completion.

8. Fees, documents and taxes

Only the Buyer pays our fee, as a percentage of the price, and we invoice only that fee. Your taxes are your business, but EU rules require us to report Seller income to the Polish tax authority.

8.1. Browsing is free. When a deal is formed, the Buyer pays Hypertube a fee calculated as a percentage of the Listing price (the “Service Fee”). Current rates are at hypertube.io/fees. The fee is debited with the price when the deal is formed and paid to Hypertube on Completion. Sellers pay no fee. If a deal is cancelled before Completion, the fee is returned to the Buyer in full.

8.2. Hypertube issues the Buyer an invoice or receipt for the Service Fee only. The price goes to the Seller, and any document for the price is between Buyer and Seller. On request, we provide either side with a deal confirmation naming the Seller, the Buyer, the Listing, the price and the fee.

8.3. You are responsible for any taxes on your deals, including VAT, sales tax and income tax, and for complying with tax law. Sale proceeds may count as income. Consult a tax adviser. Hypertube accounts for tax only on its own Service Fee where the law requires.

8.4. As an EU-established platform, Hypertube must under Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 (DAC7), as implemented in Poland, collect certain Seller data (name, address, date of birth, tax ID, payment account details) and report it, with amounts paid, to the Polish tax authority (Krajowa Administracja Skarbowa) each year. By selling on Hypertube you agree to provide this data on request. Without it, we may suspend your ability to sell or withdraw.

9. “As is” and final

The Inspection Period for channels and the pre-confirmation dispute for services are your only chance to back out. After that, nothing that happens to the channel is grounds for a refund.

9.1. Every Channel and service is sold by the Seller “as is” and “as available”. The Inspection Period for Channels and the pre-Completion dispute for services are the Buyer's sole opportunity to inspect and to cancel or dispute. Your decision to buy is based solely on your own inspection and judgement. Hypertube does not verify Listing data. Views, subscribers and revenue may decline after purchase due to YouTube or Google changes, audience behaviour, or how the Buyer operates the Channel, and none of this is grounds for any claim against the Seller through Hypertube or against Hypertube.

9.2. All sales are final on Completion. After Completion there is no cancellation, refund or credit for any reason, including: dissatisfaction with the Channel or service; any discrepancy with the Listing that could have been spotted during the Inspection Period; community or copyright strikes; demonetisation, limited monetisation, loss of AdSense eligibility, reused-content or invalid-traffic decisions; suspension or termination of the Channel or any linked Google or AdSense account, whenever and for whatever reason; or changes to YouTube, Google or AdSense policies.

9.3. Refunds and cancellations are governed only by these Terms and by our Refund Policy at hypertube.io/refund-policy, which is part of these Terms.

10. Disputes between Users

Open a dispute in the deal chat while the deal is active. The Agent reviews within 7 days and decides where the held money goes. We try to help, but we cannot guarantee an outcome.

10.1. If you have a dispute with another User during an active deal, contact the Agent in the deal chat or at [email protected]. The Agent reviews both sides' evidence and uses reasonable efforts to help you reach an amicable solution within 7 calendar days, usually sooner. The Agent may ask for more material.

10.2. If no amicable solution is reached, the Agent decides, on the evidence and these Terms, whether the deal is cancelled (price and fee back to the Buyer) or Completed (price to the Seller). For services, the Agent may order a partial refund. From the moment a dispute is opened, release of the price to the Seller is paused.

10.3. We do not guarantee that we will resolve any dispute or reach a particular outcome. The Agent's decision determines only how the funds held for that deal are disbursed. It does not affect any rights the Buyer and Seller may have against each other under the law.

10.4. Hypertube is not liable for any damages arising from disputes between Users, including those about deals, a User's ability to complete a deal, ownership or use of a Channel, intellectual property, privacy, or User activity on or off Hypertube.

11. EU consumers

11.1. If you are a consumer in the EU or EEA, nothing here limits your mandatory rights under the law of your country of residence.

11.2. Our service to you, meaning the marketplace and the deal tools paid for by the Service Fee, is a digital service. By topping up and by clicking “Buy”, you expressly ask us to start providing the service immediately and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal from your contract with Hypertube for that deal once it is formed. You confirm this by ticking a box when topping up and when buying. Unused balance can be withdrawn at any time (Section 5.5).

11.3. The withdrawal right does not apply to the deal itself, which is a contract between you and another private individual.

11.4. EU consumers can contact us with complaints at [email protected]. We do not commit to out-of-court consumer arbitration unless the law requires it.

12. Privacy

We handle your personal data under our Privacy Policy at hypertube.io/privacy-policy. We may contact you by email and through the platform about your use of the Services. We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators when the law or valid legal process requires, and may share a Seller's verified identity data with law enforcement in cases of fraud or Channel reclaim (Section 4.4).

13. User content

13.1. Content you post, including Listings, descriptions, screenshots, analytics, messages and reviews, is “User Content”. You keep ownership, but you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, display, host, store, distribute, sublicense and create derivative works from it to provide and promote Hypertube. You confirm you have the rights to grant this licence.

13.2. You are responsible for your User Content. We do not pre-screen it, but we may remove content we consider inaccurate, infringing, offensive or illegal under Section 4, without liability to you.

13.3. We are not liable for User Content posted by you or anyone else.

14. Your licence to use Hypertube; our rights

14.1. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use Hypertube for your personal purposes under these Terms. You may not: rent or sell Hypertube; copy or reverse engineer it; create derivative works; alter User Content or notices; use bots to harvest data; introduce malware; use Hypertube to infringe others' IP; send spam through it; use its data to build a competing service; or otherwise break these Terms or the law.

14.2. We may change, restrict, update or discontinue any part of Hypertube at any time without notice or liability. If you do not like a change, your only remedy is to stop using Hypertube.

14.3. Hypertube, including its design, software, logos, trademarks and content, is ours or licensed to us. Feedback you give us is voluntary and we may use it freely.

14.4. We do not guarantee that Hypertube works with your device or connection. Third-party charges for accessing Hypertube are yours.

15. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Hypertube, ArtWorld ARTUR KURYLA, and our officers, employees, agents and contractors from any claims, damages, losses or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of Hypertube, your deals, your User Content, your breach of these Terms, unauthorised use of your account, or your violation of anyone's rights, including those of other Users, Google or YouTube.

16. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, title, non-infringement, accuracy and fitness for a particular purpose. Hypertube is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee the quality, accuracy, legality, monetisation status or future performance of any Listing; the truth of any Seller's statements; that any Channel will avoid strikes, demonetisation or termination; or that Hypertube will be uninterrupted, error-free or malware-free. You alone are responsible for complying with the law and with YouTube, Google and AdSense rules.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost profits, revenue or financial losses, or for indirect, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Our total liability under these Terms is limited to the greater of the Service Fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100. This applies under any legal theory, even if we were told such damages were possible and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for wilful misconduct or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

18. Termination

These Terms apply until you or we end them. You can end them at any time by stopping use of Hypertube and withdrawing your balance. We can end them and block your access at any time for any reason without notice, subject to Section 5.9 on your balance. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 4.4, 4.5, 5, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17 and 19) survive.

19. Governing law and courts

19.1. These Terms and any related claim are governed by the laws of the Republic of Poland, excluding its conflict-of-law rules.

19.2. Disputes between you and Hypertube go exclusively to the competent courts of Warsaw, Poland. If you are an EU consumer, this does not remove the protection of mandatory law in your country of residence, and you may also sue in your home courts where the law allows.

19.3. If we do not enforce a provision, we do not waive it. If a provision is invalid, the rest stands. These Terms create no third-party rights. If these Terms conflict with a specific policy (the Refund Policy, the Fees page), that policy governs its own subject.

20. EU Digital Services Act

20.1. Under Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Hypertube's single point of contact for authorities, the European Commission, the European Board for Digital Services and Users is [email protected] (English or Polish).

20.2. Anyone may report content they consider illegal by emailing [email protected] with the information in Section 3.6. We process reports without undue delay and inform the reporter of our decision.

20.3. If we remove or restrict content or suspend or terminate an account, we tell the affected User why, unless the law forbids it. The User may complain to [email protected] within six months. Complaints are reviewed by a person, not solely by automated means, and answered without undue delay.

20.4. Under Article 30 of the DSA, we collect and verify identity data from every Seller before they can list, and we show the Seller's username on every Listing.

20.5. Listings are ordered mainly by listing date, price, the filters you choose, and Channel statistics from YouTube's public API. Hypertube shows no third-party advertising.

21. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms at any time. We post changes on this page and may notify you through your account or by email. Changes take effect on the “Last updated” date above and are not retroactive: a deal is governed by the version in force when it was formed. If you disagree with a change, stop using Hypertube.
