Terms of Service

1. Your account

You sign in with Google, Apple or a link we email you; there are no passwords. Keep access to that account or address secure — anything done through it is treated as done by you. You must be at least 13 to use Projektor, and old enough to enter a contract where you live to buy anything or to sell films. One person per account; don't share it.

2. Buying and renting films

Filmmakers set their own prices, in their own currency. Your card may be charged in your local currency at a rate shown before you pay, which Stripe, our payment processor, sets.

• A rental lets you watch the film as often as you like for 48 hours from the moment you pay. The exact end time is on your receipt.
• A purchase lets you keep watching the film for as long as Projektor offers it to you. If its filmmaker stops selling it, you keep it.

Either way you get a personal, non-commercial licence to stream the film through Projektor — not ownership of a copy. You may not download, record, re-broadcast, show it to a paying audience, or get around the copy protection, the rental window or the countries a film is available in.

We may have to stop showing a film you bought: for example, if we receive a valid copyright notice about it (see Copyright & DMCA), or the law requires it. Some films aren't available in every country, and one you bought may not play while you're somewhere it isn't licensed.

If a film won't play, or you were charged by mistake, write to support@projektor.com and we'll put it right — including a refund where that's fair. This doesn't affect any rights you have under the consumer law where you live.

3. Selling your films

If you upload a film, you also agree to the following.

You must have the rights

You promise that you own, or have a licence for, everything in the film and its listing — the footage, music, artwork, and the right to show every recognisable person in it — for everywhere and every way you make it available here. Before we encode a film we check it for signs it isn't yours to sell, and may hold it for a person to look at. Uploading a film you don't have the rights to can get it removed and your account closed.

The licence you give us

You keep all rights in your film. You give Projektor a non-exclusive licence, for as long as the film is on Projektor and for anyone who bought it afterwards, to store, copy, encode, protect and stream it to the people who buy or rent it, in the countries you choose; and to show its artwork, trailer and listing to promote it, on Projektor and elsewhere. You can stop selling a film at any time; people who have already bought it keep it.

Money

You're paid through Stripe Connect, and agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement. For each sale we keep a platform fee of 10% of the price plus a small fixed amount per transaction, shown in the studio before you publish, and the rest is paid to your Stripe account — card processing fees come out of our share, not yours. You're responsible for any tax on what you earn. Refunds and chargebacks come out of the sale they relate to.

Review

We watch a filmmaker's first release before it goes on sale, and may send any film back with a note, or decline to sell it, if it breaks these terms.

4. What isn't allowed

• Anything you don't have the rights to, or that infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity.
• Sexual content involving anyone under 18, intimate images shared without consent, or content that is illegal where it's shown.
• Content that incites violence or hatred against people for who they are.
• Misleading listings — a title, artwork or description that isn't the film.
• Scraping the site, overloading it, probing it for weaknesses, or getting around its protections or limits.

5. Copyright complaints and repeat infringers

We respond to copyright notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, as described in Copyright & DMCA. We close the accounts of filmmakers who repeatedly upload films they don't have the rights to.

6. Ending this agreement

You can stop using Projektor at any time, and ask us to close your account at support@projektor.com. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, telling you why unless the law or someone's safety prevents it. If we close Projektor itself, we'll give you reasonable notice.

7. Our responsibility to you

We work hard to keep Projektor running and your films playing, but provide it “as is”: we can't promise it will always be available or free of faults. Films are made and listed by their filmmakers, not by us, and their views aren't ours. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

8. Changes and the law that applies

We may update these terms; when a change matters we'll tell you before it takes effect, and the date at the top always shows the current version. These terms are governed by the laws of Governing law — to be confirmed, without affecting the protections of the law where you live.
