You own your content. Any work, portfolio items, images, videos, text, credits, or other material you upload or submit to Cineroster (“User Content”) remains your property. We do not claim ownership over your creative work.

This licence ends when you delete the content or close your account, subject to reasonable retention periods for backups.

Your representations. By submitting User Content you confirm that:

• You own it or have the necessary rights and permissions to submit it.
• It does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
• It does not violate any applicable law or these terms.

The Platform integrates with third-party services to deliver its functionality. Your use of these services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies:

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party service. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only and do not constitute endorsement.

The Platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Cineroster makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including:

• Merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
• That the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
• That any content on the Platform is accurate, complete, or up to date.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties — in those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Cineroster and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities — arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) US$100.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be lawfully limited.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cineroster and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:

Sections 4 (User Content & IP), 9 (Disclaimers), 10 (Limitation of Liability), 11 (Indemnification), and 13 (Governing Law) survive termination of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Platform shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us at support@cineroster.com. If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Los Angeles, California under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or via a notice on the Platform.
