Terms of Service

DailyFilm is an independent cinema discovery, editorial, and educational platform.

Our purpose is to encourage the discovery, understanding, discussion, and appreciation of cinema.

DailyFilm may provide:

• A curated film selection each day;
• Original editorial texts;
• Before-watch guides;
• After-watch analysis;

• Search and discovery tools;
• Information organized by genre, country, decade, awards, festivals, and other categories;
• Film availability information;
• Favorites and personal collections; and
• Other cinema-related editorial and educational features.

DailyFilm is not a film studio, distributor, streaming service, cinema, talent agency, film festival, awards organization, or rights-management organization.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, DailyFilm does not host or distribute the films featured within the Service.

DailyFilm is an independent project.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, DailyFilm is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, certified by, or officially associated with any:

• Film;
• Filmmaker;
• Director;
• Actor;
• Producer;
• Screenwriter;
• Cinematographer;
• Composer;
• Studio;
• Production company;
• Distributor;
• Streaming service;
• Cinema;
• Film festival;
• Awards organization;
• Rights holder;
• Database provider; or
• Other person or organization mentioned or displayed within the Service.

The inclusion, discussion, recommendation, analysis, or presentation of a film or person within DailyFilm does not imply that the relevant person, studio, rights holder, organization, or company endorses DailyFilm.

Likewise, DailyFilm's discussion of a film does not imply that DailyFilm owns that film or any intellectual property associated with it.

All third-party names, trademarks, logos, film titles, character names, artwork, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.

DailyFilm is designed primarily for cinema discovery, commentary, criticism, education, and appreciation.

Our editorial content is intended to encourage users to:

• Discover cinema;
• Engage more deeply with films;
• Learn about filmmaking;
• Consider artistic and thematic ideas;
• Explore film history;
• Discover filmmakers and cinematic movements; and
• Develop their own understanding and appreciation of cinema.

DailyFilm's editorial content represents editorial interpretation and commentary.

Cinema is inherently open to interpretation. Nothing in DailyFilm should be understood as the definitive or only interpretation of a film.

Users are encouraged to form their own opinions.

Unless otherwise indicated, editorial material created specifically for DailyFilm—including original articles, Before Watch texts, After Watch texts, editorial introductions, collection descriptions, written curations, original website copy, and other original written material—is owned by or licensed to DailyFilm.

DailyFilm's original editorial content may not be:

• Republished;
• Reproduced;
• Scraped;
• Systematically copied;
• Sold;
• Redistributed;
• Used to create a competing database or service; or
• Commercially exploited

without prior written permission, except where applicable law expressly permits such use.

Limited quotations may be permitted where allowed by applicable copyright law, provided appropriate attribution is given.

DailyFilm does not claim ownership merely by displaying, mentioning, discussing, or linking to third-party films or related materials.

Copyright and other intellectual property rights in films and related third-party materials belong to their respective rights holders.

This may include rights relating to:

• Films;
• Film footage;
• Film stills;
• Posters;
• Backdrop imagery;
• Promotional artwork;
• Trademarks;
• Logos;
• Character names;
• Production materials; and
• Other protected materials.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of third-party intellectual property to DailyFilm or to DailyFilm users.

Certain film metadata, poster images, backdrop images, and related material displayed by DailyFilm may be provided through The Movie Database (“TMDB”).

TMDB and DailyFilm are separate and independent services.

This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

DailyFilm does not claim ownership of third-party images or data merely because they are obtained or displayed through an API or data provider.

TMDB-related materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners and the applicable TMDB terms and licenses.

Use of TMDB materials within DailyFilm does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, or certification beyond any applicable data/API relationship.

Information regarding where a film may be available to stream, rent, purchase, or otherwise watch may be provided using data from JustWatch.

JustWatch and DailyFilm are separate and independent services.

DailyFilm does not control the catalogs, pricing, geographic availability, subscription requirements, rental conditions, purchase conditions, quality, or continued availability of third-party streaming services.

Streaming availability changes frequently and may vary based on:

• Country;
• Region;
• Subscription;
• Provider;
• Licensing rights;
• Time;
• Device;
• Account status; and
• Other factors outside DailyFilm's control.

Accordingly, DailyFilm does not guarantee that streaming information is complete, accurate, current, or available in every region.

You should confirm availability and pricing directly with the relevant streaming provider before purchasing, renting, subscribing, or relying on availability information.

DailyFilm is not responsible for transactions between you and third-party streaming providers.

We care about the quality of DailyFilm and make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information.

However, cinema-related information may contain inaccuracies, omissions, differences between sources, outdated information, or errors.

This may include information concerning:

• Release dates;
• Runtime;
• Cast and crew;
• Awards;
• Festival appearances;
• Countries;
• Genres;
• Credits;
• Streaming availability;
• Biographical information;
• Translations; and
• Other film metadata.

DailyFilm does not warrant that every item of information is complete, accurate, current, or error-free.

If you notice an error, please contact us at:

info [at] getdailyfilm [dot] com

We appreciate corrections and will review legitimate reports.

DailyFilm's editorial content may contain criticism, interpretation, analysis, recommendations, or subjective observations.

Such material constitutes editorial expression and should not be interpreted as statements made on behalf of a filmmaker, rights holder, studio, distributor, or other third party.

The fact that DailyFilm features, recommends, criticizes, analyzes, or does not feature a particular film does not establish any commercial relationship with the people or organizations associated with that film.

DailyFilm attempts to distinguish between content intended to be read before watching a film and deeper analysis intended to be read afterward.

“Before Watch” content is generally designed to avoid significant spoilers.

“After Watch” content may contain significant spoilers, including discussion of:

• Plot developments;
• Endings;
• Character outcomes;
• Themes;
• Symbolism; and
• Other important aspects of a film.

DailyFilm cannot guarantee that every user will have the same understanding of what constitutes a spoiler.

You are responsible for choosing when to read editorial content.

DailyFilm respects intellectual property rights.

If you are a copyright owner, authorized representative, rights holder, or other person with a legitimate concern regarding material appearing within DailyFilm, you may contact us at:

info [at] getdailyfilm [dot] com

Please include sufficient information for us to identify and evaluate the request, which may include:

• Your name and contact information;
• Identification of the work or rights concerned;
• Identification of the material within DailyFilm;
• An explanation of your concern;
• The basis on which you are authorized to make the request; and
• Any relevant supporting information.

We will review legitimate requests in good faith.

Where we determine that correction, attribution, restriction, replacement, or removal is appropriate or legally required, we will take reasonable action as promptly as practicable.

DailyFilm reserves the right to temporarily remove or restrict access to material while a request is being reviewed.

Submission of a request does not automatically establish infringement or require removal where use is otherwise authorized or legally permissible.

Nothing displayed within DailyFilm grants users a license to reproduce, distribute, publicly display, commercially exploit, or otherwise use third-party films, images, artwork, trademarks, or other protected materials.

Users are responsible for obtaining any permissions required for their own use of third-party material.

Certain DailyFilm features may require an account.

You agree to provide accurate information and to maintain the security of your account.

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You may not:

• Impersonate another person;
• Create accounts for fraudulent purposes;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to another account;
• Interfere with authentication systems; or
• Use DailyFilm in a way intended to compromise security.

We may suspend or terminate accounts involved in abuse, fraud, security threats, or material violations of these Terms.

DailyFilm may offer paid subscription plans or other premium features.

Subscriptions purchased through Apple's App Store are processed by Apple and are also subject to Apple's applicable terms and conditions.

Before purchasing, the applicable App Store interface will display relevant information concerning the subscription, which may include:

• Subscription name;
• Price;
• Billing period;
• Trial period, if offered; and
• Renewal conditions.

Prices may vary by country, currency, taxes, and App Store pricing.

Where a DailyFilm subscription is offered as an automatically renewing subscription, it will renew according to the terms displayed at the time of purchase unless cancelled in accordance with Apple's applicable subscription procedures.

Your Apple Account may be charged according to Apple's applicable billing rules.

You are responsible for managing or cancelling your subscription through Apple's subscription management tools.

Deleting the DailyFilm application or deleting a DailyFilm account does not necessarily cancel an App Store subscription.

DailyFilm may offer free trials, introductory pricing, promotional pricing, or other offers.

Eligibility may be determined by Apple, DailyFilm, or applicable App Store rules.

Unless otherwise stated, a free trial may convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period if it is not cancelled before renewal.

Promotional offers may be changed or discontinued subject to applicable law and the terms presented with the offer.

Payments processed through Apple's App Store are generally subject to Apple's payment and refund systems and applicable consumer law.

DailyFilm does not directly control Apple's refund decisions.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory refund or consumer rights you may have under applicable law.

DailyFilm may develop, modify, add, remove, or reorganize features over time.

We may change which features are included in free or paid tiers, subject to applicable law and obligations relating to active subscription periods.

We will not intentionally deprive users of paid access in violation of applicable consumer law or applicable App Store requirements.

DailyFilm may display advertisements.

Advertisements may be supplied by third-party advertising providers.

The presence of an advertisement within DailyFilm does not necessarily constitute DailyFilm's endorsement of the advertiser, product, service, or claim appearing in that advertisement.

DailyFilm is not responsible for third-party products or services purchased through or after interacting with an advertisement, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

Advertising and related data practices are described further in our Privacy Policy.

DailyFilm may contain links to or integrate with third-party services, including:

• Streaming services;
• TMDB;
• JustWatch;
• Apple;
• Google;
• Authentication providers;
• Advertising providers; and
• Other external websites or applications.

DailyFilm does not control those services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, DailyFilm is not responsible for the:

• Content;
• Accuracy;
• Security;
• Availability;
• Privacy practices;
• Pricing;
• Transactions;
• Products;
• Services; or
• Conduct

of independent third parties.

Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and policies.

You may use DailyFilm only for lawful purposes.

• Misrepresent your affiliation with DailyFilm;
• Use DailyFilm's branding in a misleading way; or
• Use the Service in violation of applicable law.

We aim to keep DailyFilm available and reliable, but uninterrupted operation cannot be guaranteed.

The Service may occasionally be unavailable because of:

• Maintenance;
• Software updates;
• Server failures;
• Internet outages;
• Third-party service failures;
• API changes;
• Data-provider outages;
• Security incidents;
• App Store issues; or
• Circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue portions of the Service where reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and obligations to paying subscribers.

Features that depend on third-party providers may change or cease functioning if a provider:

• Changes its API;
• Changes its licensing terms;
• Changes its data;
• Restricts access;
• Discontinues a service;
• Experiences an outage; or
• Otherwise changes its relationship with DailyFilm.

DailyFilm does not guarantee permanent availability of any particular third-party integration.

DailyFilm provides cinema-related editorial and educational content.

Nothing within DailyFilm constitutes legal, financial, medical, investment, psychological, or other professional advice.

Users should not rely on DailyFilm as a substitute for professional advice in any such field.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DAILYFILM AND THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DAILYFILM DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND CONDITIONS NOT EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY LAW, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DAILYFILM, ITS OWNER, OPERATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE.

THIS MAY INCLUDE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LOSS ARISING FROM:

• LOSS OF DATA;

• INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE;
• RELIANCE ON INCORRECT INFORMATION;
• STREAMING AVAILABILITY INFORMATION;
• THIRD-PARTY SERVICES;
• THIRD-PARTY LINKS;

• DEVICE OR NETWORK ISSUES; OR
• OTHER MATTERS OUTSIDE DAILYFILM'S REASONABLE CONTROL.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DAILYFILM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, CONTENT, PRODUCTS, AVAILABILITY, OR SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTIES.

NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LEGALLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED, INCLUDING ANY RIGHTS AVAILABLE UNDER MANDATORY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW.

You use DailyFilm at your own discretion.

You are responsible for:

• Your internet connection;
• Your device;
• Your App Store account;
• Your subscription choices;
• Charges imposed by third-party services;
• Deciding whether to follow external links;
• Confirming streaming availability before making purchases; and
• Complying with the terms of third-party platforms you choose to use.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of DailyFilm, your material violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

This provision does not apply where prohibited by applicable consumer law.

If you obtain DailyFilm through Apple's App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and DailyFilm, not Apple.

DailyFilm, rather than Apple, is responsible for the DailyFilm application and its content, subject to applicable law.

Your license to use DailyFilm is limited to a non-transferable right to use the application on Apple-branded products that you own or control, subject to the applicable Apple Media Services Usage Rules, including any rights available through permitted Family Sharing or volume purchasing arrangements.

Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for DailyFilm except to the extent required under applicable law or Apple's applicable terms.

To the extent these Terms conflict with mandatory Apple App Store requirements applicable to DailyFilm, those requirements will apply.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit liability beyond what applicable law permits.

If a third party believes that DailyFilm or material appearing within DailyFilm infringes intellectual property rights, the claim should be sent to:

info [at] getdailyfilm [dot] com

We take legitimate intellectual property concerns seriously and will investigate properly submitted requests.

Where appropriate or legally required, we may remove, replace, restrict, correct, or otherwise address the relevant material.

If you send DailyFilm suggestions, corrections, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback, you permit us to use that feedback to improve DailyFilm without an obligation to compensate you, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

This does not transfer ownership of unrelated intellectual property you already own.

DailyFilm may invite users or contributors to assist with translations or localization.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, submitted translations may be reviewed, edited, adapted, corrected, or declined before publication.

Where necessary, separate contributor terms or permissions may apply.

Anyone interested in contributing to DailyFilm translations may contact:

info [at] getdailyfilm [dot] com

We may suspend or terminate access to DailyFilm where reasonably necessary because of:

• Material violation of these Terms;
• Fraud;
• Abuse;
• Security threats;
• Unauthorized access;
• Illegal activity; or
• Circumstances requiring termination under applicable law.

You may stop using DailyFilm at any time.

Termination does not eliminate obligations or rights that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property rights, applicable disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute-related provisions.

Cinema, technology, APIs, and the services DailyFilm relies upon change over time.

We may therefore update DailyFilm, its design, database, editorial structure, functionality, pricing, or integrations.

Material changes affecting paid services will be handled in accordance with applicable law and applicable App Store requirements.

We may update these Terms from time to time.

When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date.

If a change materially affects your rights and applicable law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it.

Your continued use of DailyFilm following an effective update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where possible.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

If DailyFilm does not immediately enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not mean that DailyFilm waives the right to enforce it later.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented for specific DailyFilm features, constitute the agreement governing your use of the Service, subject to applicable mandatory law and applicable App Store terms.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, waive, restrict, or override rights that cannot legally be excluded under the laws applicable to you.

If applicable consumer law gives you rights that conflict with a provision of these Terms, those mandatory rights will prevail to the extent required by law.

Questions, corrections, legal notices, intellectual property concerns, rights-holder requests, and other inquiries relating to DailyFilm may be sent to:

DailyFilm — Email: info [at] getdailyfilm [dot] com

If you believe material appearing in DailyFilm infringes your rights or should be corrected or removed, please provide sufficient information for us to identify the material and understand your request.

We will review legitimate requests promptly and, where appropriate or legally required, take reasonable corrective action, which may include correction, attribution, restriction, replacement, or removal.

DailyFilm exists to encourage people to discover, watch, discuss, learn about, and appreciate cinema.

DailyFilm does not seek to replace filmmakers, rights holders, distributors, streaming services, archives, critics, festivals, or other participants in cinema.

Our original editorial work is intended to contribute to the appreciation and discussion of films.

All rights in third-party films, trademarks, artwork, imagery, and other protected material remain with their respective owners.

DailyFilm claims rights only in material that it owns or is otherwise entitled to use.

No affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by a filmmaker, studio, distributor, streaming service, festival, awards organization, TMDB, JustWatch, or other third party should be inferred unless DailyFilm expressly states otherwise.

These Terms should be read together with DailyFilm's Privacy Policy.
