Terms of Use
These Terms of Use apply whenever you use GoodShorts to browse, search, or watch videos, and the service is for personal use only if you meet the minimum legal age required in your country.
Content and features may change at any time without guaranteed uninterrupted access, and we may restrict or block your access if you violate the rules.

These Terms apply whenever you interact with the Service, including when you:
- Visit pages, browse collections, or explore genres
- Search for clips and short video formats
- Watch videos through the player
- Use any interactive features that may be offered from time to time
- Contact support or submit reports at [email protected]
We may update, remove, or reorganize content, features, categories, or site sections at any time. Availability of any specific clip or feature is not guaranteed.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum legal age required in your jurisdiction) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to agree to these Terms.
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Personal use and basic rules
The Service is intended for personal, non-commercial viewing. You agree to use the Service lawfully and respectfully, and not in any manner that harms the Service, other users, or rights holders.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs from your device or connection while using the Service.
Service availability and changes
The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we aim to keep the Service stable and accessible, we do not guarantee:
- Uninterrupted access
- Error-free operation
- That any particular clip, category, or feature will remain available
- That playback quality will be consistent on all devices or networks
Performance and availability may vary based on your device, browser, internet connection, location, and maintenance or security needs.
Prohibited conduct
To protect the Service and its users, you must not (and must not attempt to):
Circumvent security or access controls
Bypass, disable, or interfere with platform protections, rate limits, or access restrictions.
Use automated tools in a harmful way
Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, scripts, or automated systems that extract content, overload infrastructure, or degrade performance.
Reasonable indexing by standard search engines may be permitted where not prohibited by technical controls.
Attack or disrupt the Service
Probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities; attempt to hack; launch denial-of-service activity; inject malicious code; or otherwise disrupt playback, search, or site functionality.
Distribute malware or harmful content
Upload or transmit malware, spyware, or any code intended to compromise devices, networks, or the Service.
Violate laws or third-party rights
Use the Service to infringe intellectual property, violate privacy rights, or engage in unlawful activity.
Abuse others
Harass, threaten, defame, impersonate, or otherwise harm others through the Service or through any interactive feature.
If we believe activity creates risk, misuse, or disruption, we may restrict or terminate access immediately, including without prior notice where necessary for security or legal compliance.
Accounts and security (if available)
Some features may require an account now or in the future. If the Service offers account functionality and you create or use an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate information when requested
- Keep login credentials confidential
- Notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access
- Accept responsibility for activity under your account
We may suspend or limit account access for security, policy enforcement, or legal reasons.
Intellectual property and permitted use of content
Platform materials
The site’s design, layout, visual elements, trademarks, logos, and underlying platform features are owned by us or used under license.
Except as expressly allowed in these Terms, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the platform.
Video clips and rights holders
Clips and related materials may be owned by their respective rights holders.
The Service provides viewing access, not ownership. Unless you have separate permission from the rights holder or applicable law allows it, you must not:
- Download, reproduce, redistribute, or re-upload clips
- Publicly perform or publicly display clips outside the Service
- Use clips for commercial purposes
- Remove watermarks or proprietary notices
- Bypass technical measures that limit access or protect content
User submissions and feedback (if available)
If the Service allows submissions (such as reports, comments, usernames, or other inputs), you are responsible for what you submit. Submissions must not be unlawful, infringing, abusive, misleading, or disruptive.
If you send feedback or suggestions, you agree that we may use them without restriction or obligation to you. This helps us improve the Service based on user input.
We may remove, restrict, or moderate submissions that violate these Terms or create risk for the Service, users, or rights holders.
Copyright and rights holder requests
We respect intellectual property rights. If you are a rights holder or authorized representative and believe content on the Service infringes your rights, contact: [email protected].
To help us review efficiently, include:
- Proof of ownership or authorization
- Direct URLs to the relevant content
- The action requested (review, restriction, or removal)
- Any additional context that supports your claim
We review requests in good faith and may remove or restrict access to content where appropriate.
Third-party links and services
The Service may include links to third-party sites or services. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, availability, or policies.
Your interactions with third-party sites are at your own discretion and subject to their terms.
Advertising and measurement
The Service may display ads to support ongoing operation. Ads may be delivered by partners and may vary by region, device, and availability.
We may also use measurement tools to understand performance, reduce errors, and improve the viewing experience. Where required by law, we may provide consent options based on your location.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
- We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
- We do not guarantee availability of any specific clip, category, or feature.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or relating to your use of the Service. This includes, for example, loss of data, inability to access content, service interruptions, or device/network issues.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Indemnity
If you violate these Terms and your actions cause damage, claims, or costs for us, you agree to cooperate with us and, where permitted by law, to indemnify and hold us harmless from reasonable losses and expenses arising from your violation (including reasonable legal fees).
Suspension or termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access if we reasonably believe you:
- Violated these Terms
- Created a security risk or disrupted service performance
- Infringed third-party rights
- Must be restricted to comply with legal obligations
You may stop using the Service at any time.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, security practices, or legal requirements. When we update them, we will revise the effective date above.
Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
