Terms of Service

Effective date: May 2, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using SurgeNiche (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and SurgeNiche ("we", "us", or "our").

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Service Description

SurgeNiche is an AI-powered YouTube niche discovery platform. The Service scans publicly available YouTube channel data, detects trending topics and viral spikes, and presents opportunity scores to help content creators identify potentially underserved niches.

All data and insights provided by SurgeNiche are informational only. Nothing on the platform constitutes financial, investment, or business advice. Past spike patterns and opportunity scores are analytical tools, not guarantees of future performance or channel growth.

3. Subscriptions & Billing

SurgeNiche offers the following subscription plans:

• Free — limited access to niche data with no charge.
• Basic — €9/month — expanded niche discovery, spike alerts, and opportunity scoring.
• Premium — €19/month — full access including advanced filters, trend history, and priority data refresh.

All payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or by contacting us; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Refund policy: Monthly subscriptions are non-refundable for partial billing periods. Annual plans are non-refundable once purchased. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us at vikmartin.online@gmail.com within 14 days of the charge and we will review the case.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

• Scrape, crawl, or otherwise extract data from SurgeNiche through automated means beyond normal personal use of the web interface.
• Access the Service via automated scripts, bots, or third-party tools for the purpose of bulk data collection.
• Resell, sublicense, redistribute, or commercialize data or insights obtained from the Service without our express written permission.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or circumvent any aspect of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

All niche data, opportunity scores, and trend signals are informational tools derived from publicly available data. Past spike patterns do not guarantee future results. SurgeNiche makes no representations about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the data provided.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SurgeNiche and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you exceed the total amount you paid for the Service in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in the Service, applicable law, or our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We may also notify you by email.

Your continued use of the Service after the revised Terms have been posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.
