Terms of Service

Video Research Vault — a Chrome extension by Six Cents Productions

Last Updated: February 22, 2026  •  Effective Date: February 22, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing or using the Video Research Vault Chrome extension ("Video Research Vault," "the extension," or "the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use Video Research Vault.

Video Research Vault is operated by Six Cents Productions, LLC ("Six Cents," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

Video Research Vault is a Chrome browser extension that enables users to save YouTube video and thumbnail reference data to a Google Sheet with a single click. The extension uses the YouTube Data API v3 and the Google Sheets API to provide this functionality. The extension operates without a backend server - all extension data is stored locally on your device or written directly to your own Google Sheet.

If a save fails due to a lost internet connection, the extension queues the save locally and retries automatically when connectivity is restored. Queued saves expire after 7 days if they cannot be completed. If a queued save's target collection no longer exists at the time of retry, the video is saved to your All Saves tab and you will be notified.

All Saves is a protected system tab in your Google Sheet where every saved video is recorded. If the All Saves tab is removed or renamed, the extension will recreate it automatically without affecting your other collections, settings, or license status. You should not rename or delete the All Saves tab, but if you do, the extension recovers gracefully.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use Video Research Vault (or at least 16 if you are located in the European Union, or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). By using the extension, you represent that you meet this requirement. If you are using Video Research Vault on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Access Tiers and Activation Keys

Free Access

Video Research Vault is currently available free of charge. No account creation is required. We reserve the right to introduce usage limits in the future. If usage limits are introduced, we will provide reasonable notice, and existing users who hold a valid activation key will not be affected.

Newsletter Activation Key

Users who subscribe to the Josh Howard newsletter (joshuahoward.me) may receive a free activation key that provides unlimited saves and guarantees continued unlimited access even if free-tier limits are introduced in the future. Keys are distributed via the newsletter welcome email and validated through our licensing platform (LemonSqueezy). Activation keys are non-transferable and may not be shared, sold, or resold. The newsletter is the delivery mechanism for the activation key; once issued, your key remains valid regardless of your newsletter subscription status. Access may be revoked if your key is used in violation of these Terms.

Your Data

All video data saved through Video Research Vault is written to a Google Sheet that you own and control. We do not store your saved video data on our servers. You retain full ownership of and responsibility for any data in your Google Sheet.

Paid Tier (Future)

Six Cents reserves the right to introduce paid tiers at any time. If a paid tier is introduced, existing users with valid activation keys will not be retroactively charged. Notice will be provided prior to any pricing changes.

5. Acceptable Use

By using Video Research Vault, you agree that you will not:

  • Use the extension in any way that violates YouTube's Terms of Service or Google's API Terms of Service
  • Attempt to circumvent free tier usage limits through technical means
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the extension
  • Use the extension to collect data at scale, automate data harvesting, or scrape YouTube in violation of YouTube's Terms of Service
  • Share, sell, or transfer activation keys to third parties
  • Use the extension for any unlawful purpose

Your use of the YouTube Data API through Video Research Vault is also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google's API Terms of Service.

6. Google API and YouTube Compliance

Video Research Vault uses Google APIs. By using Video Research Vault, you are also agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service and Google's Terms of Service. Your use of YouTube data through this extension is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
