I acknowledge that the following terms modify the Developer Policies with respect to my access to, and use of, YouTube Data API service:

 

1. Sections III E.2.a and E.4.h are amended to allow you to create derived metrics for limited purposes on the condition that you clearly and prominently label these metrics as generated independently by you and not sourced directly from YouTube’s API.
