Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the VerseStream application, website (versestreamapp.com), or any affiliated open-source components, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms in full, do not install or use the software.

2. Nature of Software & Non-Hosting Architecture

VerseStream is an open-source, client-side streaming engine and media player software designed for Android, Android TV, and Fire TV devices. VerseStream does not maintain any media servers, does not host video or audio files, does not operate streaming infrastructure, and does not upload, index, or distribute copyrighted media files. The application functions solely as an interface and media playback pipeline for content available on the World Wide Web or provided directly by the end user.

3. User Responsibility & Lawful Use

As an open-source player engine, VerseStream leaves complete control of playback in the hands of the end user. By using VerseStream, you explicitly agree that:

• You will only access media that you have the legal right, authorization, or license to stream or view in your jurisdiction.
• You will not use the software to violate any international copyright law, digital intellectual property rights, or licensing agreements.
• You assume all legal liability and responsibility for any content, streams, or media URLs accessed through the application.
• You will not reverse engineer, inject malicious software, or attempt to exploit the application framework.

4. Third-Party Services, APIs & External Links

The application and website may interface with independent third-party APIs (including public metadata databases such as The Movie Database - TMDB) and user-configured streaming endpoints. VerseStream has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. Metadata, posters, and summaries are displayed for identification and informational fair-use purposes only.

5. DMCA & Copyright Compliance

VerseStream respects the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512). Because VerseStream is purely an open-source media player engine that does not host or store any media, we cannot remove content from external servers hosted by third parties.

However, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any open-source code or project materials hosted on our official channels infringe upon your copyright, you may submit a formal notification to our designated agent:

The software is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance. VerseStream does not warrant that the application will function uninterrupted, error-free, or meet your specific requirements.

7. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall VerseStream, its contributors, developers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the application; (ii) any content or streams obtained from third-party services; or (iii) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions.

8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
