These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Athon Studio ("we", "us", "our") about your use of our short-drama streaming app for Android published by Athon Studio on Google Play (package com.athon.shortreel) (the "App").
By downloading, installing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. The App
The App lets you stream short vertical drama series on your phone. The App:
- does not require an account, sign-up or login;
- does not sell coins, subscriptions, VIP plans or any other in-app purchases;
- is free to use. The current version does not show ads; future versions may be supported by advertising.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information the App and its third-party services handle. It is part of these Terms: Privacy Policy.
2. Who may use the App
The App is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to use the App. Some series contain mature themes such as violence, romance and strong language.
3. Licence to use the App and the content
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install the App on a device you own or control and to stream the content made available in the App, for your personal, non-commercial viewing only.
The series, episodes, posters, titles, subtitles and related materials ("Content") are owned by us or by our content licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. The App's software, name, logo and design belong to us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any ownership to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4. What you must not do
You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:
- copy, download (other than the temporary caching the App does automatically), record, screen-capture for redistribution, rebroadcast, sell, rent or publicly show any Content;
- remove, bypass or interfere with encryption, content protection, device-integrity checks or any other technical measure in the App;
- decompile, reverse engineer, modify or create derivative works of the App, except to the extent the law expressly allows it;
- extract the catalog or video files by automated means (scraping, crawling, bots) or access our content servers other than through the App;
- generate fake views, installs or other artificial activity, or interfere with any ads the App may show;
- use the App in any way that breaks the law or infringes anyone's rights.
5. Content availability
Content is provided under licences from third parties. The catalog can change at any time: series or episodes may be added, removed, or made unavailable in some countries or for some periods, and a series may not yet have all of its episodes available. Subtitles and audio tracks depend on each series. We do not promise that any particular series, episode or language will be available.
6. Advertising and third-party services
The current version of the App does not show ads. If a future version shows ads, they may be provided by third-party ad networks; we are not responsible for the content of ads or for the products, services or websites of advertisers. If you tap an ad or a link to a third-party site or app, that third party's terms and privacy policy apply.
The App relies on third-party services (for example Google Firebase) as described in the Privacy Policy. Your device must meet the technical requirements of the App and you are responsible for any data charges from your mobile carrier.
7. Updates, interruptions and protection of the service
We may update, change or discontinue the App or any feature at any time, and may require you to install an update to keep using it. The App may be unavailable from time to time because of maintenance, network problems or events outside our control.
To protect the Content, the App may refuse to play videos on devices that appear to be modified, rooted, emulated or under a debugger, or if it detects an attempt to bypass its protections.
8. Sharing
The App lets you share a link to the App or to an episode through your device's share menu. Shared links point to the App's page on Google Play. You are responsible for whom you share with and for following the rules of the app you use to share.
9. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App and the Content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we and our licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the App or the Content. Because the App is provided free of charge, our total liability for any claim related to the App is limited to USD 50 or the minimum amount allowed by applicable law, whichever is greater.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, or your mandatory rights as a consumer.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or end your access to the App or the Content, without notice, if you break these Terms or if we must do so for legal or licensing reasons. Sections 3 (ownership), 4, 9, 10, 13 and 14 continue to apply after termination.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version at this URL and update the "Last updated" date. For significant changes we will also notify you in the App or in the Google Play listing. If you keep using the App after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the country where Athon Studio is established, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes will be resolved by the competent courts of that country. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there where the law allows.
14. Other terms
- If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
- If we do not enforce a right, that is not a waiver of it.
- You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example to a company that takes over the App.
- Google is not a party to these Terms, but Google Play's terms also apply to your download of the App.
