Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to the FlickDirect® Inc. website. By using our website, mobile apps, or services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

2. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

3. Website & Mobile App Insurance Disclaimer

FlickDirect.com maintains insurance coverage for website and mobile app operations. This coverage does not extend to individual users, third-party services, or external platforms. Use of our Services is at your own risk.

4. Google & YouTube Services

Our website and mobile apps may integrate with Google services, including YouTube API Services, YouTube embedded players, and links to YouTube content. By using features that include YouTube functionality, you agree to comply with YouTube's Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. We do not control or assume responsibility for content on YouTube or other third-party services.

FlickDirect uses YouTube API data only to present or link to related video content and current public statistics. We do not use YouTube API data to create creator profiling tools, channel-inspired generators, substitute YouTube applications, or cross-platform derived analytics products.

5. Intellectual Property & Studio-Provided Content

FlickDirect owns its original editorial content, designs, logos, graphics, and software. Public movie facts, the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, and third-party materials are distinct from those rights.

Trademarks: FlickDirect® is a registered U.S. trademark of FlickDirect Inc (Registration No. 7896629). Related brand names, such as Movie Deals+™, Movie Hype!™, and Movies NOW!™, are trademarks of FlickDirect Inc. See our trademark policy.

Studio-Provided Content: Movie stills, trailers, video clips, and promotional assets appearing on FlickDirect.com and in FlickDirect mobile apps are provided by film studios, distributors, or their public relations firms for editorial and promotional purposes. FlickDirect does not claim ownership of these materials.

All rights to movie stills, trailers, logos, and official press assets remain with their respective owners. These materials are used under editorial licensing agreements with studios and distributors.

Unauthorized reproduction or redistribution of studio-provided content outside the Services without studio permission is strictly prohibited.

6. Use License

Free FlickDirect Connect access: Everyone may add and use the public, read-only FlickDirect Connect movie MCP server in compatible AI applications for personal or business queries, without a FlickDirect account, license key, subscription, or separate licensing request. This permission covers using the information and source links returned by Connect in answers, including its bounded published excerpts. Summarize synopses, trivia, article previews and reviews briefly in your own words without copying source paragraphs, and link directly to the original FlickDirect pages. Do not invent full-article details or review opinions from a headline or excerpt. Preserve source attribution and published affiliate links. Connect supplies links to pages containing photographs, not the photo files or direct image URLs. Published YouTube watch links and embedded players may be used through YouTube's controls and applicable terms. It does not authorize bulk extraction or republication of full articles, photographs, posters, audio, trailers, or other protected media.

We welcome accurate editorial mentions of FlickDirect and our contributors, with links to the original coverage. Ordinary mentions and links do not require a paid license or separate permission request. For planned quotations from Allison Rose or other FlickDirect contributors, please contact us to confirm permission and attribution as explained in our quotation and licensing policy. These references and quotations are distinct from full-text republication, syndication or reuse of original photographs, video clips and graphics, which require separate permission and any applicable license. The public Connect permission above remains free for personal and business queries. Nothing in these Terms limits uses permitted by applicable law, including fair use.

7. Mobile App Usage

By downloading and using the FlickDirect mobile app, you agree to these Terms. Updates to the app may include additional terms, which you agree to by continuing use.

8. Affiliate Disclosure

FlickDirect participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Associates Program and affiliate programs for digital retailers such as Apple TV (formerly iTunes). This means we may earn commissions from qualifying purchases or rentals made through links on our site.

These commissions come at no additional cost to you and help support our editorial operations, including news coverage, reviews, interviews, giveaways, and related content.

FlickDirect is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon, Apple, or any other third-party retailer or platform.

If FlickDirect permits comments, ratings, check-ins, submissions, messages, giveaway entries, photos, or other user-provided material, you grant FlickDirect a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to host, display, reproduce, moderate, edit for format, distribute, and use that material in connection with operating and promoting FlickDirect services.

You may not submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, harassing, deceptive, malicious, spam, malware, or otherwise harmful. FlickDirect may remove or restrict content or accounts at its discretion.

19. Subscriptions, In-App Purchases & Platform Billing

Paid app features, subscriptions, trials, renewals, cancellations, refunds, taxes, and billing disputes may be handled by Apple, Google, or another platform provider when purchased through that provider. FlickDirect does not control platform billing systems and cannot guarantee refunds or cancellations outside the applicable platform process.

Subscription terms, pricing, renewal periods, cancellation options, and trial details are presented by the applicable app store or payment platform at the time of purchase and may be subject to that provider's additional terms.

20. Copyright Complaints & DMCA Notices

If you believe content on FlickDirect infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@flickdirect.com identifying the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, its URL, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act.

FlickDirect may remove or disable access to material in response to valid notices and may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

21. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes arising from or related to FlickDirect, these Terms, the website, or the mobile apps must first be addressed by contacting FlickDirect in good faith. If unresolved, disputes must be resolved through individual binding arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida, except where a qualifying claim may be brought in small claims court.

You and FlickDirect waive the right to participate in class actions, class arbitration, representative actions, or consolidated proceedings. Claims must be brought individually.
