Terms of Service

Last updated: November 7, 2026

These terms apply to your use of Annotations Restored (annotations.isaacdaou.st), a free service that lets YouTube creators create, edit, and publish annotations on their own YouTube videos. By signing in or using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

YouTube and Google

Annotations Restored uses YouTube API Services. By using it, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Your use of Google sign-in is also subject to Google's Terms of Service. Annotations Restored is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.

Your account

  • You sign in with your Google account. You are responsible for activity under it.
  • You may only add annotations to videos on YouTube channels you own. We check ownership through your YouTube account before you can publish.
  • You must meet the minimum age required to have a Google account in your country.

Your annotations

  • You keep ownership of the annotations you create.
  • Annotations you publish are public. Anyone using the Annotations Restored browser extension can see them on your video. By publishing, you give us permission to store, host, and display them for that purpose.
  • You can edit or remove your annotations at any time.
  • Annotations that were archived from YouTube's original annotation system cannot be overwritten.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the service to publish annotations that:

  • Are illegal, or infringe someone else's copyright, trademark, or other rights.
  • Are hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, or violent.
  • Link to malware, phishing, scams, or other harmful sites.
  • Impersonate another person or organization, or are spam.

You also agree not to attempt to get around ownership checks or upload limits, interfere with the service, or access other users' data.

Removal and termination

We may remove annotations or suspend accounts that break these terms, without notice. You can stop using the service at any time and revoke its access from your Google account settings. To have your account data deleted, see the Privacy Policy.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Disclaimer

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. It may change, have errors, or become unavailable at any time, and annotations may be lost. Keep your own copies of anything important.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Annotations Restored and its creator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
