YouTube Partner Program Terms

Together with the YouTube Terms of Service and the YouTube Partner Program Policies (each of which may be updated
from time to time and are incorporated herein by reference), the following YouTube Partner Program Terms apply to your
participation in the YouTube Partner Program (the "Terms"). Please read the Terms carefully. If you do not understand or
accept any part of these Terms, you should not upload Content for monetization on YouTube.
1. Monetization Revenues. YouTube will pay you as follows:
a. Advertising Revenues. YouTube will pay you 55% of net revenues recognized by YouTube from ads displayed or streamed
by YouTube or an authorized third party on your Content watch pages or in or on the YouTube video player in conjunction
with the streaming of your Content. YouTube is not obligated to display any advertisements alongside your videos and may
determine the type and format of ads available on the YouTube Service. For clarity, YouTube reserves the right to retain all
other revenues derived from the YouTube service, including any revenues relating to ads on search result pages.
b. Subscription Revenues. YouTube will pay you 55% of the total net revenues recognized by YouTube from subscription fees
that are attributable to the monthly views or watchtime of your Content as a percentage of the monthly views or watchtime
of all or a subset of participating content in the relevant subscription offering (as determined by YouTube). If your Content is
included in and viewed by a user in multiple subscription offerings, YouTube will pay you based on the subscription
offering with the highest amount of net revenues recognized by YouTube, as calculated by YouTube.
2. Payment Account Requirement. In order to earn or receive payment of any revenues hereunder, you must at all times have
an active AdSense account associated with your YouTube user account(s) (or such other payment method as required by
YouTube). YouTube does not owe you for any revenues that may be associated with your Content during any period in
which you do not have a valid method of payment.
3. Payment Terms, Limitations and Taxes. YouTube will pay you for any revenues due within approximately sixty (60) days
after the end of any calendar month, so long as your earned balance is at least US $100 (or its equivalent in local currency) at
the time payment is due. You are not entitled to earn or receive any revenues in connection with your Content in any of the
following circumstances: (a) if one or more third parties claim rights to certain elements of your Content except in cases
where YouTube’s policies or systems support sharing a portion of the revenues with you, as determined by YouTube; (b) if
monetization is disabled on your Content by either you or YouTube; or (c) your participation in the YouTube Partner
Program is suspended or terminated pursuant to Section 4 below. YouTube will use reasonable efforts to notify you if any of
these circumstances should occur.
4. Termination. Either party may terminate these Terms for convenience with 30 days prior written notice to the other
(including via electronic means). YouTube may either suspend or terminate your participation in the YouTube Partner
Program immediately upon written notice (including via electronic means) if YouTube reasonably determines or suspects
that you have violated these Terms. For clarity, in the event of any termination of these Terms the YouTube Terms of
Service will survive and continue to apply to your use of the YouTube service.
5. Governing Law. The governing law and dispute resolution provisions of the YouTube Terms of Service will also apply to
these Terms.
6. Miscellaneous. Capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms will have the meanings given to such terms in the
YouTube Terms of Service. These Terms replace all previous or current agreements between you and YouTube relating to
the YouTube Partner Program, including any prior monetization agreements that are in effect between you and YouTube as
of the effective date. Except as modified by these Terms, the YouTube Terms of Service remain in full force and effect.
YouTube’s right to modify or revise the Terms of Service (as described in the YouTube Terms of Service) will also apply to
these Terms.

Google AdSense Online Terms of Service

Last modified 2013-04-16.
1. Welcome to AdSense!
Thank you for your interest in our search and advertising services (the “Services”)!
By using our Services, you agree to these terms (the “AdSense Terms”), the AdSense Program
Policies, and the Google Branding Guidelines (collectively, the “Agreement”). If ever in conflict,
to the extent of such conflict, the AdSense Terms will take precedence over any other terms of
the Agreement. Please read the Agreement carefully.
As used in the Agreement, “you” or “publisher” means the individual or entity using the Services
(and/or any individual, entity or successor entity, agency or network acting on your behalf),
“we”, “us” or “Google” means Google Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., and the “parties” means you and
Google.
2. Access to the Services; AdSense Accounts
Your use of the Services is subject to your creation and our approval of an AdSense account (an
“Account”). We have the right to refuse or limit your access to the Services. By submitting an
application to use the Services, if you are an individual, you represent that you are at least 18
years of age. You may only have one Account.
By enrolling in AdSense, you permit Google to serve, as applicable, (i) advertisements and other
content (“Ads”), (ii) Google search boxes and search results and (iii) related search queries and
other links to your websites, mobile applications, media players, mobile content and/or other
properties approved by Google (each individually a “Property”). In addition, you grant Google
the right to access, index and cache the Properties or any portion thereof, including by
automated means. Google may refuse to provide the Services to any Property.
Any Property that is a software application and accesses our Services (a) may require
preapproval by Google in writing, and (b) must comply with Google’s Software Principles.
3. Using our Services
You may use our Services only as permitted by this Agreement and any applicable laws. Don’t
misuse our Services. For example, don’t interfere with our Services or try to access them using a
method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide.
You may discontinue your use of any Service at any time by removing the relevant code from
your Properties.
4. Changes to our Services; Changes to the Agreement
We are constantly changing and improving our Services. We may add or remove functionalities
or features of the Services at any time, and we may suspend or stop a Service altogether.
We may modify the Agreement at any time. We’ll post any modifications to the AdSense Terms
on this page and any modifications to the AdSense Program Policies or the Google Branding
Guidelines on their respective pages. Changes will not apply retroactively and generally will
become effective 30 days after they are posted. However, changes addressing new functions for
a Service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you don’t agree to
any modified terms in the Agreement, you’ll have to stop using the affected Services.
5. Payments
Subject to this Section 5 and Section 10 of these AdSense Terms, you will receive a payment
related to the number of valid clicks on Ads displayed on your Properties, the number of valid
impressions of Ads displayed on your Properties or other valid events performed in connection
with the display of Ads on your Properties, in each case as determined by Google.
Except in the event of termination, we will pay you by the end of the calendar month following
any calendar month in which the earned balance in your Account equals or exceeds the
applicable payment threshold. If you implement search Services, our payments may be offset by
any applicable fees for such Services.
Unless expressly authorised in writing by Google, you may not enter into any type of
arrangement with a third party where that third party receives payments made to you under
the Agreement or other financial benefit in relation to the Services.
Payments will be calculated solely based on our accounting. Payments to you may be withheld
to reflect or adjusted to exclude any amounts refunded or credited to advertisers and any
amounts arising from invalid activity, as determined by Google in its sole discretion. Invalid
activity is determined by Google in all cases and includes, but is not limited to, (i) spam, invalid
queries, invalid impressions or invalid clicks on Ads generated by any person, bot, automated
program or similar device, including through any clicks or impressions originating from your IP
addresses or computers under your control; (ii) clicks solicited or impressions generated by
payment of money, false representation or requests for end users to click on Ads or take other
actions; (iii) Ads served to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled and (iv) clicks or
impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i, ii and iii) above.
In addition to our other rights and remedies, we may (a) withhold and offset any payments
owed to you under the Agreement against any fees that you owe us under the Agreement or any
other agreement, or (b) require you to refund us within 30 days of any invoice, any amounts we
may have overpaid to you in prior periods. If you dispute any payment made or withheld
relating to the Services, you must notify Google in writing within 30 days of any such payment.
If you do not, any claim relating to the disputed payment is waived. If an advertiser whose Ads
are displayed on any Property defaults on payment to Google, we may withhold payment or
charge back your account.
To ensure proper payment, you are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact
and payment information in your Account. You are responsible for any charges assessed by your
bank or payment provider.
6. Taxes
As between you and Google, Google is responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the
transactions between Google and advertisers in connection with Ads displayed on the
Properties. You are responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the Services, other than
taxes based on Google’s net income. All payments to you from Google in relation to the Services
will be treated as inclusive of tax (if applicable) and will not be adjusted. If Google is obligated to
withhold any taxes from its payments to you, Google will notify you of this and will make the
payments net of the withheld amounts. Google will provide you with original or certified copies
of tax payments (or other sufficient evidence of tax payments) if any of these payments are
made by Google.
7. Intellectual Property; Brand Features
Other than as set out expressly in the Agreement, neither party will acquire any right, title or
interest in any intellectual property rights belonging to the other party or to the other party’s
licensors.
If Google provides you with software in connection with the Services, we grant you a non-
exclusive, non-sublicensable licence for use of such software. This licence is for the sole purpose
of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by Google, in the manner
permitted by the Agreement. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease any part of our
Services or included software, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source
code of that software, unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have our written
permission. You will not remove, obscure or alter Google’s copyright notice, Brand Features or
other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within any Google services, software or
documentation.
We grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to use Google’s trade names,
trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names and other distinctive brand features (“Brand
Features”) solely in connection with your use of the Services and in accordance with the
Agreement and the Google Branding Guidelines. We may revoke this licence at any time. Any
goodwill arising from your use of Google’s Brand Features will belong to Google.
We may include your name and Brand Features in our presentations, marketing materials,
customer lists and financial reports.
8. Privacy
Our privacy policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you
use our Services. By using our Services, you agree that Google can use such data in accordance
with our privacy policy.
You will ensure that at all times you use the Services, the Properties have a clearly labelled and
easily accessible privacy policy that provides end users with clear and comprehensive
information about cookies, device-specific information, location information and other
information stored on, accessed on, or collected from end users’ devices in connection with the
Services, including, as applicable, information about end users’ options for cookie management.
You will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that an end user gives consent to the
storing and accessing of cookies, device-specific information, location information or other
information on the end user's device in connection with the Services where such consent is
required by law.
9. Confidentiality
You agree not to disclose Google Confidential Information without our prior written consent.
"Google Confidential Information" includes: (a) all Google software, technology and
documentation relating to the Services; (b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to
Property performance as pertaining to the Services; (c) the existence of, and information about,
beta features in a Service and (d) any other information made available by Google that is
marked confidential or would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances in
which it is presented. Google Confidential Information does not include information that you
already knew prior to your use of the Services, that becomes public through no fault of yours,
that was independently developed by you, or that was lawfully given to you by a third party.
Notwithstanding this Section 9, you may accurately disclose the amount of Google’s gross
payments resulting from your use of the Services.
10. Termination
You may terminate the Agreement at any time by completing the account cancellation process.
The Agreement will be considered terminated within 10 working days of Google's receipt of
your notice. If you terminate the Agreement and your earned balance equals or exceeds the
applicable threshold, we will pay you your earned balance within approximately 90 days after
the end of the calendar month in which the Agreement is terminated. Any earned balance below
the applicable threshold will remain unpaid.
Google may at any time terminate the Agreement, or suspend or terminate the participation of
any Property in the Services for any reason. The parties agree to waive any provisions of local
law which may limit, restrict, require a court order or otherwise inhibit Google’s ability to
terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion. If we terminate the Agreement due to your
breach or due to invalid activity, we may withhold unpaid amounts or charge back your account.
If you breach the Agreement or Google suspends or terminates your Account, you (i) will not be
allowed to create a new Account and (ii) may not be permitted to monetise content on other
Google products.
11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and defend Google, its affiliates, agents and advertisers from and against
any and all third-party claims and liabilities arising out of or related to the Properties, including
any content served on the Properties that is not provided by Google, your use of the Services, or
your breach of any term of the Agreement. Google’s advertisers are third-party beneficiaries of
this indemnity.

12. Representations; Warranties; Disclaimers

You represent and warrant that (i) you have full power and authority to enter into the
Agreement; (ii) you are the owner of, or are legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of,
each Property; (iii) you are the technical and editorial decision maker in relation to each
Property on which the Services are implemented and that you have control over the way in
which the Services are implemented on each Property; (iv) Google has never previously
terminated or otherwise disabled an AdSense account created by you due to your breach of the
Agreement or due to invalid activity; (v) entering into or performing under the Agreement will
not violate any agreement that you have with a third party or any third-party rights and (vi) all
of the information provided by you to Google is correct and current.
OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THE AGREEMENT, WE DO NOT MAKE ANY PROMISES
ABOUT THE SERVICES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON’T MAKE ANY COMMITMENTS ABOUT THE
CONTENT WITHIN THE SERVICES, THE SPECIFIC FUNCTION OF THE SERVICES, OR THEIR
PROFITABILITY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY OR ABILITY TO MEET YOUR NEEDS. WE
PROVIDE EACH SERVICE “AS IS”.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY
OR IMPLIED. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM THE WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF NON-
INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TO THE
EXTENT SUCH STATUTORY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS APPLY AND CANNOT BE
EXCLUDED, TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH GOOGLE IS ALLOWED, GOOGLE LIMITS ITS LIABILITY
IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM UNDER THOSE WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS TO, AT GOOGLE’S
OPTION, THE SUPPLYING OF THE SERVICES AGAIN OR THE PAYMENT OF THE COST OF
HAVING THE SERVICES SUPPLIED AGAIN.
Nothing in this Agreement, including Sections 11, 12 and 13, shall exclude or limit Google’s
warranty or liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or conditions or the
limitation or exclusion of liability for loss or damage caused by negligence, breach of contract or
breach of implied terms or incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, only the
limitations which are lawful in your jurisdiction will apply to you and Google’s liability will be
limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCEPT FOR ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER OR YOUR BREACH OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS,
CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS AND/OR PROPRIETARY INTERESTS RELATING TO THE
AGREEMENT, (i) IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THE AGREEMENT
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES
AND EXPENSES WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES AND
EXPENSES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED
REMEDY AND (ii) EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT IS LIMITED
TO THE NET AMOUNT RECEIVED AND RETAINED BY THAT PARTICULAR PARTY IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE THREE MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM. Each party acknowledges that the other party has
entered into the Agreement relying on the limitations of liability stated herein and that those
limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.
14. Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement; Amendments. The Agreement is our entire agreement relating to your use
of the Services and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. This
Agreement may be amended (i) in a writing signed by both parties that expressly states that it is
amending the Agreement, or (ii) as set forth in Section 4, if you keep using the Services after
Google modifies the Agreement.

No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than as set forth in Section 11, this Agreement does not
create any third-party beneficiary rights.
No Waiver. Other than as set forth in Section 5, the failure of either party to enforce any
provision of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver.

Association and conducted in accordance with its Expedited Commercial Rules in force as of the

pending resolution of the arbitration. Any decision rendered by the arbitrator will be final and
binding on the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent

YouTube Partner Program overview

On April 18, 2017, we implemented a new review process for all channels applying to join the YouTube
Partner Program. Get more information on the review process and eligibility requirements below.

The YouTube Partner Program lets creators monetize their content on YouTube. Creators can earn money
from advertisements served on their videos and from YouTube Red subscribers watching their content.
You can apply to join the YouTube Partner Program from your account in Creator Studio.

How to apply for the program

Who is eligible to apply

All YouTube creators can apply to join as long as the Partner program is available in your country. Once a
channel reaches 10,000 public channel views, it will be reviewed to join the Partner program. You can
check your channel's view count at Creator Studio > Channel > Monetization.

If you don’t have enough views, keep working to make original content and build your audience. You can
get tips from top creators in the YouTube Creator Academy.

This view count threshold gives us enough information to determine the validity of a channel. It also
allows us to confirm if a channel is following our community guidelines and advertiser policies.

What we look at when you apply

You can apply to join the YouTube Partner Program and once your channel reaches 10,000 public channel
views, your channel activity is reviewed to make sure your content adheres to the YouTube Partner
Program policies, YouTube’s Terms of Service, and our Community Guidelines.
We'll email you to let you know as soon as the process is complete. You can also check the status of your
application at Creator Studio > Channel > Monetization. The process may take up to several weeks.

If you're approved: You'll start earning money on YouTube right away if you've already chosen the
videos you want to monetize.

If you're not approved: If your channel isn't approved to join the program, it's likely because we cannot
determine whether your channel's activity complies with the YouTube Partner Program
policies and Community Guidelines.

You can keep uploading original content and building your audience on YouTube even if you're not in the
partner program—and you can reapply again in 30 days.

Monetizing eligible cover videos
Creators participating in the YouTube Partner Program can now share in the revenue from eligible cover
song videos on YouTube, once those videos are claimed by music publisher owners. You will be paid
revenue for these videos on a pro rata basis.

How to determine if your cover song video is eligible for monetization

You'll know you can share in revenue from a cover song video when you see this message next to the
video in your Monetization tab: “Monetize my video. This is my cover of a song written by somebody
else. Learn more”

This message will appear for videos that have been claimed through the Content ID system by the music
publisher(s) who own(s) the copyright in the musical composition performed. Both new uploads and prior
uploads may be eligible, so you can also see if your prior cover song video uploads are eligible by looking
in the YouTube Video Manager.

Please note, some specific songs have not been enabled for this feature by their copyright owner(s), so this
may not appear for certain claimed cover videos. Other circumstances where videos are not eligible for this
revenue share opportunity include:

 Videos that contain a commercial sound recording, such as an instrumental or karaoke recording
 Videos of live concert performances

How to enable revenue sharing for your cover song video

To enable revenue sharing for your cover song video once it has been claimed by a music publisher:

1. Enable your account for monetization, if you have not already done so. Visit the Monetization tab in
your account settings.
2. Locate the eligible cover song video within Video Manager. It will have a “Matched third party
content” notification and a gray dollar sign icon.
3. Click on the gray dollar sign icon next to the video. Then on the Monetization tab, tick the checkbox
next to the message that reads: “Monetize my video. This is my cover of a song written by somebody
else. Learn more"
4. Your video will then be reviewed to see if it contains third party content outside of the 3rd party song.
5. You will soon be notified if further information is required. If you have questions, you can visit
