Terms of service.
Last reviewed
The short answer
FluxTube is open-source software released under the MIT license. There is no hosted service. The "Terms of Service" you're reading exist primarily because the YouTube Data API verification process requires that the OAuth client point at a published terms page. The substance is: you self-host, you operate it, no warranty.
What FluxTube is
FluxTube is software for syncing your own unread Miniflux entries into your own YouTube playlists. It is distributed as source code atgithub.com/alghanmi/fluxtube.
There is no FluxTube SaaS, no shared infrastructure, no central server. Every deployment of FluxTube is independent: someone clones the repo, configures it against their own accounts, and deploys it to their own Cloudflare account.
Self-hosted use
By deploying FluxTube to your own infrastructure, you agree that:
- You are solely responsible for the operation of your instance.
- You are solely responsible for compliance with theYouTube API Services Terms of Service, theGoogle Privacy Policy, and the terms of any Miniflux instance you connect to.
- You will use FluxTube only against YouTube accounts and Miniflux accounts you personally control, and not on behalf of others without their explicit consent.
- You will not use FluxTube to bypass YouTube's quotas, terms, or rate limits in a manner that violates Google's Developer Policies.
- You understand that your YouTube Data API quota is your own; FluxTube does not pool quota across users.
Source code license
FluxTube source code is released under theMIT license. That license governs the use, modification, and redistribution of the code. The license text takes precedence over these Terms for matters of code rights and warranty disclaimers.
No warranty
FluxTube is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. The author is not liable for any claim, damages, or other liability arising from the use of the software — including but not limited to data loss, API quota exhaustion, YouTube account actions, or Miniflux state corruption.
This mirrors the MIT license. In plainer language: if FluxTube does the wrong thing with your playlists or marks the wrong entries read, you wear the consequences. Audit the code before you give it write access to your accounts.
The marketing page
This page (fluxtube.forklabs.cc) is a static site published for discoverability and to satisfy the Google OAuth verification requirements (a terms page and privacy policy at a verified domain). Using this page does not create a service relationship between you and the author.
Changes
The "Last updated" date at the top of this page changes when the terms change. The full revision history is available via Git on theFluxTube source repository for this page.
