2. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to use Movi. Users between 13 and 18 should have parental or guardian supervision. By creating an account, you represent that you meet these age requirements; we currently rely on this representation rather than a separate age-verification process.

• Not share your account credentials

• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access

• Modification or copying of materials

• Use of the app for any unlawful purpose

• Reverse engineering or decompiling the app

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Movi offers a free tier and an optional auto-renewing Premium subscription that unlocks additional features such as unlimited custom lists, advanced analytics, and expanded AI list generation.

• Premium is available as monthly or annual plans; current pricing is shown in the app before purchase and may vary by region or promotion.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.

• Your subscription automatically renews for the same duration and price unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel an active subscription.

• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their respective refund policies; Movi does not process refunds directly.

• We may change subscription prices for future billing periods; where required, we will notify existing subscribers before a price change takes effect.

6. User Content

You retain ownership of content you post (rankings, reviews, comments). By posting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your content within the app and for the purpose of operating and improving our services.

7. AI-Generated Content

Movi uses artificial intelligence to power features including Smart List Generation, personalized recommendations, recommendation explanations, and Film Personality summaries. AI-generated content is produced automatically without human review and is provided for entertainment and discovery purposes only. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unexpected, and should not be relied on as factual or professional advice. Movi is not liable for decisions made based on AI-generated content.

8. Intellectual Property

Movie and TV show information, images, and data are provided by third-party services (such as The Movie Database). These materials are the property of their respective owners. Movi does not claim ownership of this content.

9. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Movi to:

• Violate any laws or regulations

• Infringe on intellectual property rights

• Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm others

• Post spam, malicious content, or false information

• Interfere with the app's operation or security

• Create multiple accounts to evade restrictions

• Attempt to circumvent content moderation, blocking, or reporting features

• Use AI-powered features to generate unlawful, abusive, or infringing content

10. Content Moderation, Reporting, and Enforcement

Movi provides tools to report, block, and mute users or content that violates these Terms. We may review reported content and, at our discretion, remove content, issue warnings, or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable law. We are not obligated to take a specific action in response to any report, and moderation decisions are made at our sole discretion.

11. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on Movi infringes your copyright, send a notice to movitaste@gmail.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice" that includes: (1) your signature, physical or electronic; (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location in the app; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and (6) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner. We will remove or disable access to infringing material and may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

12. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account at any time, with or without notice, for violations of these terms or for any other reason we deem necessary. You may delete your account at any time through the app settings.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

Movi is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the app will be error-free, uninterrupted, or available at all times. This includes content generated by AI features, which may be inaccurate or unexpected. Service may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Movi and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Movi harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

16. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Movi agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

Class Action Waiver. You and Movi agree that each may bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing movitaste@gmail.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account username and email. If you opt out, disputes between us will be resolved in court as described in the section below.

Procedure. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator under the rules of a recognized consumer arbitration provider (such as the American Arbitration Association), and may be conducted through written submissions or remotely, at the arbitrator's discretion.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and applicable state law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16 (including opted-out disputes and small-claims matters), you and Movi agree to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in your state of residence.

18. Export Control and Sanctions Compliance

You may not use or export the Service in violation of U.S. export laws and regulations, and you represent that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country or on any list subject to U.S. government embargo or sanctions.

19. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should discontinue use of the service.
