Terms of Service

Last updated: September 2026

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Playlist Sorter (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.


Description of Service

Playlist Sorter is a web application that allows you to connect your YouTube account, view your playlists, and sort or combine them using AI-powered mood classification. The Service reads your playlist data via the YouTube Data API v3 and, with your explicit approval, writes sorted playlists back to your YouTube account.


YouTube Terms of Service

This Service uses YouTube API Services. By using this Service, you agree that your use is also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service. You must comply with YouTube’s Terms of Service at all times when using this Service.

▶YouTube Terms of Service

User Authorization & Consent

When the Service takes any action on your YouTube account — such as creating or updating a playlist — it does so only with your explicit, prior consent. You retain full authority and final say over all such actions. Specifically:

  • •You must actively confirm before any playlist is written or modified on your YouTube account
  • •The Service will not take actions beyond what you have explicitly authorized
  • •You may revoke access at any time via Google Security Settings
  • •You are responsible for reviewing the output before approving any changes to your account

Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for its intended purpose — organizing your personal YouTube playlists. You may not:

  • •Use the Service to access, sort, or modify another person's YouTube account without their authorization
  • •Attempt to circumvent API rate limits, authentication, or other technical safeguards
  • •Use the Service for any commercial purpose, resale, or redistribution
  • •Reverse engineer, scrape, or extract data from the Service in bulk
  • •Violate any applicable law or the YouTube Terms of Service in connection with your use

Data & Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, store, and use your data. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.


Intellectual Property

All content, design, and code comprising the Playlist Sorter interface are the property of the Service owner. Your YouTube data remains yours — we do not claim any ownership over your playlists, videos, or account content.


Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss of data, changes to your YouTube playlists made with your authorization, service interruptions, or any indirect damages arising from your use of the Service. The AI mood classification is automated and may produce unexpected results — always review the sorted output before saving.


Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, with the “Last updated” date revised accordingly. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
