Terms of service

1.Who you are contracting with

Sponsorbook is operated by Be a Goose, LLC, a California limited liability company (we, us, our). These Terms of Service (the Terms) are a binding agreement between us and the person or organisation that opens an account (you, your, the Customer).

They cover the Sponsorbook marketing site at www.sponsorbook.io, the Sponsorbook application, the catalogue we publish through it, our agent (MCP) interface, and any exports, emails, or support we provide alongside them: together, the Service.

You accept these Terms by creating an account, by clicking to accept them, or by using the Service. If you are accepting on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company, and you means that company. You must be at least 18 years old and not barred from using the Service under applicable law.

2.What the Service is

Sponsorbook is a research tool. We index sponsorships that creators have disclosed in public YouTube videos, resolve the brands behind them, and let you search, filter, inspect the underlying evidence, save lists, watch brands for new activity, and, where we hold them, reveal business contacts at those brands.

Sponsorbook is a subscription research product and nothing else. We are not an agency, a broker, a marketplace, or a party to any agreement you reach with a brand or a creator. We do not represent you, we do not negotiate for you, and we take no commission, finder fee, or revenue share on anything you close.

3.Accounts, workspaces, and seats

Signing up creates a Workspace: the tenant that owns your lists, saved searches, watches, connected channels, credit balance, and any agent connection. Everything you do in the Service belongs to a Workspace, and Workspace administrators can see and manage that content.

Accounts are personal to the individual they are issued to. Each person using the Service needs their own credentials, and a Workspace may hold no more seats than its plan allows. You may not share credentials, operate a single seat as a shared login for several people, or let anyone outside your Workspace use your access.

You are responsible for everything that happens under your account and your Workspace, including the acts of anyone you invite. Keep your credentials secure and tell us at hello@sponsorbook.io promptly if you believe they have been compromised.

4.Plans, fees, renewal, and cancellation

Plans

The Service is offered on a free tier and on paid subscription plans. The free tier is a limited preview of the catalogue, not a trial of a paid plan, and we may change or withdraw it at any time. What each plan includes is described on our pricing page and may change as the product changes, though we will not materially reduce what your current paid term includes.

Fees and renewal

Subscription fees are billed in advance for the term you choose, monthly or annually, and are exclusive of taxes. Payments are handled by our payment processor; you authorise us to charge your payment method for all fees, taxes, and top-ups incurred on your Workspace.

Refunds

Except where a refund is required by law, fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable, and we do not refund partial terms, unused seats, unused allowances, or downgrades. Where a statutory right to cancel or refund applies to you, nothing here removes it.

Price and tax changes

We may change our prices. A change takes effect at your next renewal and we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before it does, so you can cancel first. You are responsible for any sales, use, VAT, or similar taxes on your subscription, other than taxes on our income.

Late or failed payment

If a payment fails or is overdue we may suspend the Workspace after notifying you, and we may downgrade it to the free tier. We will restore access once the balance is settled.

5.Credits and contact reveals

Business contact details in the catalogue stay masked until you spend a credit to reveal one. Paid plans include a monthly reveal allowance, and some plans can buy additional credits as top-up packs.

• Your monthly allowance resets at the start of each billing cycle. Unused allowance does not roll over, and it has no cash value.
• Credits you buy as a top-up do not expire while your Workspace is on an active paid plan, and are spent only after that cycle’s included allowance is used up.
• Credits are not money, cannot be transferred between Workspaces, sold, or exchanged, and are not refundable, including on cancellation, downgrade, or termination.
• Revealing the same contact again does not cost a further credit. Credits are consumed on reveal only, not on searching, browsing, or requesting that we source a contact.
• If a reveal fails for a technical reason, tell us and we will restore the credit.

If your Workspace returns to the free tier or is terminated, any remaining credit balance is forfeited.

6.Your licence to use the Service

For as long as your subscription is active and you are complying with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Service, and to use the data you retrieve through it, solely for your own internal business purposes: researching, evaluating, and approaching potential sponsors or sponsorship partners for your own organisation or for clients you provide services to.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted. The licence ends when your subscription does.

7.Restrictions on the catalogue and contact data

The catalogue is the product. These restrictions are the core of this agreement, and breaking them is a material breach that lets us suspend or terminate immediately.

You must not, and must not permit anyone else to:

• resell, sublicense, syndicate, publish, broadcast, or otherwise redistribute the catalogue, any contact details, or any substantial part of the data you obtain through the Service, to any third party;
• use the Service or its data to build, train, populate, benchmark, or improve a product that competes with Sponsorbook, or any database, index, or list of sponsorships, sponsors, creators, or contacts;
• use the Service or its data as input to develop, train, fine-tune, evaluate, or otherwise improve any artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, other than transient use inside your own workflow to analyse results for your own internal business purposes as permitted above;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service by any automated means, or use bots, spiders, or scripts against it, other than through the agent interface we provide and within its documented limits;
• circumvent or attempt to circumvent any rate limit, seat limit, plan gate, credit requirement, masking, paywall, watermark, or other technical restriction, or access the Service through an account that was not issued to you;
• copy, mirror, or retain a bulk local replica of the catalogue beyond the exports the Service produces and the records you genuinely need for your own outreach;
• probe, load-test, or attempt to breach the security of the Service, introduce malicious code, or interfere with its normal operation or with other customers’ use of it;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service, except where that restriction is unenforceable by law;
• remove or obscure any proprietary notice, or misrepresent the source of the data; or
• use the Service for anything unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or in breach of anyone else’s rights.

We may monitor use of the Service to enforce this section, including by rate limiting, by watermarking exports, and by seeding the catalogue with markers that let us identify redistributed data.

8.Contacting brands: your responsibilities

When you reveal a contact and use it, you decide who to contact, why, and what to say. You act as an independent controller of that personal data from that point, and you are solely responsible for your outreach complying with the law.

That includes, as applicable to you and to the person you contact:

• the CAN-SPAM Act and comparable commercial-email rules, including accurate headers and subject lines, a valid postal address, and a working, honoured opt-out;
• the GDPR and UK GDPR, including having a lawful basis for processing, giving the notice those laws require, and handling objections and erasure requests you receive;
• the ePrivacy/PECR rules and equivalent national marketing rules on unsolicited electronic messages, and any applicable telemarketing, SMS, or do-not-contact regime; and
• honouring any request from a recipient to stop contacting them, regardless of how you obtained their details.

You must not use contact details from the Service to send bulk unsolicited messaging unrelated to a genuine sponsorship or business proposal, to sell them on, to enrich a third-party list, or for any purpose beyond your own internal business purposes described above.

If a person asks us to remove their details from the catalogue we will act on that request, and you must stop using details we tell you have been withdrawn.

9.Connecting a YouTube channel and Google API Services

You can optionally connect a YouTube channel so the Service can confirm you control it and tailor results to it. Connecting is not required to use Sponsorbook.

Sponsorbook uses YouTube API Services. By using those parts of the Service you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy applies to Google’s handling of your information. What we access, store, and use from the YouTube API is set out in our Privacy Policy.

You can revoke Sponsorbook’s access to your YouTube data at any time from the Google security settings page at myaccount.google.com/permissions, or by disconnecting the channel in your Sponsorbook settings. You can ask us to delete YouTube data we hold about you by writing to privacy@sponsorbook.io.

You confirm you are entitled to connect any channel you connect, and that doing so does not breach your agreement with YouTube, with a network, or with anyone else.

10.Agent access

Where your plan includes it, you can connect an AI agent or client application to your Workspace and use the Service through it. An authorisation grant binds to a single Workspace, and everything the agent does counts as your use of the Service.

Every restriction in these Terms applies identically through the agent interface, and you must keep to its documented rate limits. Automated access is a convenience for your own research, not a bulk-extraction channel, and we may throttle, suspend, or revoke a grant that is used as one. You are responsible for what your agent does with the data it retrieves, including any onward use by an AI model you have connected.

11.Your data and your feedback

Customer Data is what you put into the Service: account details, lists, notes, saved searches, watches, contact requests, catalogue reports, and anything else you submit. As between us, you own it, and we claim no rights in it beyond what we need to run and improve the Service, support you, keep it secure, and meet our legal obligations.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, and display Customer Data for those purposes. You confirm you have the rights to submit it and that doing so does not breach anyone’s rights or the law.

We may generate aggregated, de-identified statistics from use of the Service and use them without restriction, provided they do not identify you, your Workspace, or any individual.

If you send us suggestions, feature requests, or other feedback, we may use them freely and without obligation to you. You are not required to send us feedback.

12.Catalogue accuracy and corrections

The catalogue is assembled from public YouTube videos, public web sources, and third-party data providers, and is produced partly by automated extraction. It will contain gaps, stale records, duplicates, misattributions, and errors. Coverage varies by brand, by creator, and over time, and figures such as sponsorship counts, cadence, and audience data are estimates derived from what we could observe, not audited facts.

The catalogue is provided for research. It is not verification of any commercial relationship, not a representation that a brand sponsors anyone or will respond to you, not confirmation that a contact is current or is the right person, and not advice of any kind. Decisions you make on it are yours, and you should verify anything that matters before you rely on it.

Where the Service lets you flag a record as wrong, we review those reports and may correct, amend, or remove records, but we do not commit to a turnaround and a report does not by itself change the catalogue.

13.Our intellectual property

We and our licensors own the Service and everything in it that is not Customer Data: the software, the catalogue and its structure, selection, and arrangement, the scoring and ranking we compute, the site and its copy and design, and the Sponsorbook name, logo, and brand. These Terms grant you access, not ownership, and no rights transfer to you.

Third-party names, logos, and marks that appear in the catalogue belong to their owners and are shown for identification. Their appearance is not an endorsement of Sponsorbook by them, or of them by us.

14.Privacy and data protection

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we handle and why. It forms part of these Terms.

For the business contact information and other personal data in the catalogue, we act as an independent controller: we determine the purposes and means of assembling and publishing it. Once you access that data through the Service, you act as an independent controller of it in turn; we are not your processor for it, and each of us is separately responsible for our own compliance.

For Customer Data you submit that contains personal data about your own staff or contacts, we act as your processor and handle it on your documented instructions. If you need a data processing agreement, write to privacy@sponsorbook.io and we will put one in place.

15.Third-party services

The Service depends on third parties for authentication, payments, hosting, data storage, and YouTube data, and it may link to third-party sites. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, we do not control them, and we are not responsible for them. An outage or change at a third party may interrupt or change the Service.

16.Confidentiality

Each of us may receive non-public information from the other that is marked confidential or is obviously confidential from the circumstances, including our non-public pricing, roadmap, and technical information, and your Customer Data. Each of us will use the other’s confidential information only to perform this agreement, protect it with at least reasonable care, and not disclose it except to people who need it and are bound to equivalent obligations. This does not apply to information that is public through no fault of the recipient, was already known to it, or is independently developed, and it does not prevent a disclosure required by law where the recipient gives notice if it lawfully can.

17.Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and cancel from your billing settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term.

We may suspend or terminate your access, in whole or in part, if you materially breach these Terms and do not fix it within 10 days of notice; immediately and without notice if you breach the restrictions in section 7 or the outreach obligations in section 8, if your use threatens the security, integrity, or availability of the Service or the data in it, if payment is not made, or if we are required to by law; or on 30 days’ notice for convenience, in which case we will refund the unused portion of the term you have already paid for.

On termination your licence ends, your access stops, and you must stop using and delete data you obtained through the Service, except records you must keep by law and records of contacts you have already approached in good faith. We may delete Workspace content after termination; export anything you need first. Sections that by their nature should survive (restrictions, fees already owed, confidentiality, IP, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution) survive termination.

18.Disclaimers

The Service and all data in it are provided as is and as available. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express, implied, and statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that the catalogue will be accurate, complete, or current, or that using the Service will produce any particular result, including any sponsorship, reply, meeting, or revenue. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to the extent permitted.

19.Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost sponsorships, lost goodwill, or lost or corrupted data, even if advised that they were possible.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, on any theory of liability, will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US$100.

These limits do not apply to your payment obligations, to either party’s indemnity obligations, to your breach of section 7, or to liability that cannot be limited by law, including, where applicable, death or personal injury caused by negligence, and fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. The limits apply in aggregate across all claims and reflect the allocation of risk we have agreed in setting our prices.

20.Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us and our officers, members, employees, and agents harmless from any third-party claim, and any resulting losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, and reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the Service, your Customer Data, your outreach to any person or organisation, your breach of these Terms or of applicable law, or your infringement of anyone’s rights. We will notify you of the claim, give you control of the defence, and cooperate at your expense; you may not settle a claim in a way that admits our liability or imposes an obligation on us without our consent.

21.Resolving disputes

If something goes wrong, tell us first. Send a written description of the dispute and the relief you want to legal@sponsorbook.io, and we will do the same for you. We will each try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days. This step is a courtesy rather than a barrier: neither of us has to wait if a claim needs to be filed to preserve it.

If we cannot resolve it between us, either of us may bring the claim in court. These Terms are governed by California law and disputes are heard in the courts serving San Francisco County, California, as set out in section 23. There is no arbitration requirement and no class-action waiver in these Terms, and nothing here waives your right to a jury trial.

Either of us may bring a qualifying claim in small-claims court, and either of us may ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief at any time to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, confidential information, or the catalogue.

22.Changes to these Terms and to the Service

We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the app before it takes effect, and it will apply from the date stated. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not, cancel before they take effect. Changes we make for legal or regulatory reasons may take effect sooner where necessary.

The Service itself will change. We may add, alter, or withdraw features, adjust how the catalogue is assembled and ranked, and change the limits attached to a plan. We will not materially reduce the core functionality of a paid plan during a term you have already paid for without offering you a pro-rata refund of the remainder.

23.General

Governing law. These Terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts serving San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and each of us consents to that venue and waives any objection to it. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. If you are a consumer resident outside California, you keep the protections of mandatory law in your country of residence.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all our assets. These Terms bind each party’s permitted successors and assigns.

Notices. We will send notices to the email address on your account; it is your responsibility to keep it current. Send notices to us at legal@sponsorbook.io, or by post to Be a Goose, LLC, 5716 Corsa Avenue, Suite 110, Westlake Village, CA 91362-7354.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, other than payment obligations.

Publicity. We will not use your name or logo as a customer reference without your consent.

Independent contractors. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, or franchise relationship between us.

Severability and waiver. If a provision is held unenforceable it is modified to the minimum extent needed, or severed, and the rest stays in force. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, our pricing page, and any order form or data processing agreement we sign are the entire agreement between us on this subject and supersede any prior understanding. Terms on your purchase order or vendor forms have no effect. In a conflict, a signed order form or DPA prevails over these Terms, and these Terms prevail over the pricing page.

Third-party rights. No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these Terms.
