Terms of Service
Last updated:
These terms are an agreement between you and Bidi Media LLC ("we", "us"), which operates Ytgo at https://ytgo.me. They apply to everyone who uses Ytgo: visitors who create short links without an account, members with a free account and Pro subscribers. They take effect on November 11, 2026. Please read them together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
By using Ytgo, or by creating an account, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
1. The service
Ytgo shortens YouTube links. A short link redirects to the YouTube video, Short, live stream, playlist or channel it was made for. When a short link is opened inside an app's built-in browser (for example in Instagram or TikTok), we show an intermediate page that asks the phone to open the YouTube app, with a fallback to the browser.
You can create short links without an account. With a free account you can manage your links and see basic statistics. Pro adds detailed click statistics, custom short names, changing a link's destination, a bio page at ytgo.me/@handle that lists your YouTube links, and custom domains.
Ytgo is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by YouTube or Google. YouTube is a trademark of Google LLC. Whether a phone opens the YouTube app depends on the device, the app the link is opened in and YouTube itself, which we do not control.
2. Accounts
- You must be at least 16 years old to create an account, or older where the law of your country requires it. To buy Pro you must be legally able to enter into a contract, or have the consent of a parent or guardian.
- Give us an e-mail address that you control. We use it to sign you in and to contact you about your account.
- Keep your password and sign-in links to yourself. You are responsible for what happens in your account; tell us right away at [email protected] if you think someone else has access to it.
- An account is for one person or one organisation. Do not create accounts to get around limits or a block.
3. Acceptable use
Ytgo is only for links to YouTube. You may not use it, or let others use it, to:
- link to anything other than YouTube, or try to make a short link lead elsewhere;
- send spam, or create links in bulk or automatically in ways that burden the service, including by getting around rate limits or bot checks;
- link to content that is illegal, or that breaks YouTube's own rules (for example content that is hateful, violent, sexually exploits minors, harasses others or infringes someone's rights);
- mislead people about who you are or where a link leads, impersonate someone else, or use links for phishing, fraud or malware;
- infringe copyrights, trademarks or other rights of others, including with a custom short name, a bio page handle or a custom domain;
- connect a domain that you do not own or are not allowed to use;
- attack, probe, overload or reverse engineer the service, or access it in ways other than through the interfaces we provide.
On your bio page you are responsible for what you write and which links you show.
4. Our right to disable links and accounts
We may, without prior notice where the situation requires it:
- disable a short link, a bio page or a custom domain;
- block a YouTube video or channel as a destination for everyone;
- refuse to create a link, a custom short name or a handle;
- suspend or close an account,
if we believe, in good faith, that these terms or the law are being broken, that the service or its users are at risk, or that the destination is no longer available on YouTube. A disabled link answers with a notice that it has been disabled. Where reasonable we will tell the account owner and give the reason. If you think we made a mistake, write to [email protected] and we will look at it again.
Anyone can report a short link or bio page that breaks these rules on our report page. We review reports and decide case by case.
5. Your content
You keep all rights you have in what you add to Ytgo (for example the text of your bio page). You allow us to store, copy and show it as needed to run the service, for as long as it is in your account. The YouTube content your links point to belongs to its owners; we only store and show public information about it (title, thumbnail, channel name) so that your links can be recognised.
6. Plans and payment
The free plan costs nothing. Pro costs $1 per month or $6.99 per year (US dollars). Where tax applies, it is calculated at checkout and shown before you pay. Coupon codes are subject to the conditions shown with them.
Payment is made through Stripe Checkout. Stripe processes your card details; we never see them. Stripe's own terms apply to the payment. The price, the billing period and the total are shown on the checkout page before you confirm.
7. Renewal
Pro renews automatically at the end of each billing period, for the same period, until you cancel. The renewal is charged to the payment method you gave at the start of the new period. If a payment fails, Stripe may retry it; if it still cannot be collected, your account returns to the free plan.
If we change the Pro price, we will tell you by e-mail in advance. The new price applies from your next billing period after the notice; you can cancel before then.
8. Cancellation
You can cancel at any time in your dashboard under Billing, which takes you to Stripe's customer portal. When you cancel:
- Pro stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and does not renew;
- after that your account continues on the free plan. Your short links keep working. Pro features end: your bio page is no longer public, links on your custom domain are redirected to our own short-link domain, and detailed statistics, custom short names and changing destinations are no longer available.
You can also delete your account in the dashboard under Account. This cancels a running subscription immediately and permanently disables your links (see the Privacy Policy).
9. Refunds and the right of withdrawal
We do not refund partial billing periods, for example when you cancel in the middle of a month or year, or delete your account, unless the law requires a refund.
Pro starts immediately. When you complete checkout, you ask us to start your subscription right away, so you can use Pro from that moment on rather than after a waiting period.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of purchase without giving a reason. Because Pro starts immediately at your request, if you withdraw within those 14 days we will refund what you paid, minus an amount proportionate to the time you already had Pro, where the law allows such a deduction.
If you are a consumer in Türkiye, the Regulation on Distance Contracts excludes, among others, services performed instantly in electronic form from the right of withdrawal. Where the law nevertheless gives you a right of withdrawal, we will honour it.
To withdraw, send a clear statement to [email protected] within the withdrawal period, from the e-mail address of your account. We refund through the original payment method within 14 days of receiving it. These terms do not limit any other rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.
10. Availability and changes to the service
We work to keep Ytgo available and reliable, but we provide it as it is and as available, without any warranty that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors, or that statistics will be complete. Click statistics are estimates: bots are filtered out and some clicks cannot be recorded.
We may change, add or remove features. If a change takes away a major Pro feature you are paying for, we will tell you in advance and you can cancel. If we shut down Ytgo as a whole, we will tell members in advance and refund the unused part of any prepaid period.
11. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.
Otherwise, as far as the law allows:
- we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profit, lost revenue or lost data, or for losses caused by YouTube, by apps that open our links, or by events beyond our reasonable control;
- our total liability to you in connection with Ytgo is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.
If you are a consumer, these limits apply only as far as the law of your country permits.
12. Ending the agreement
You can stop using Ytgo and delete your account at any time. We can end the agreement with notice for any reason, or immediately for a serious breach of these terms (see section 4). If we end it without a breach on your part, we refund the unused part of a prepaid period.
13. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. If a change is significant, we will tell members by e-mail or in the dashboard at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you do not agree, you can cancel and delete your account before then; if you continue to use Ytgo after the change takes effect, the new terms apply.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States; this does not take away the protection the mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence give you. Courts with jurisdiction: the state and federal courts in New York County, New York; consumers can also go to the courts and consumer bodies of their country of residence.
If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts of that country. Consumers in Türkiye can also apply to the consumer arbitration committees (Tüketici Hakem Heyetleri) and consumer courts within the limits set by law.
Before going to court, please write to us; most problems can be solved quickly.
