Certain Content may be restricted to older viewers, as described in Section 3.3.

2. THE SERVICES AND SOURCES OF CONTENT

2.1. The Services: Our App helps you discover and watch short-form drama series in bite-sized episodes across a variety of genres. The application provides features including but not limited to Short Drama Viewing, Trending and Top Charts, Search by Title and Genre, Continue Watching, My List and Watch History, Subtitles and Playback Speed Options, Autoplay Next Episode, Drama Sharing, Content Reporting, and notifications for new episodes and drama suggestions.

2.2. Sources of Content: The dramas, episodes, and related videos, images, titles, descriptions, subtitles and audio made available through the Services (the "Content") come from the following sources:

2.2.1. "YouTube Content": videos hosted on YouTube and played through the YouTube embedded player, which the App organises into series and episodes for easier viewing; and

2.2.2. "Hosted Content": dramas that we make available directly through the App, including dramas created in whole or in part with artificial intelligence tools.

2.3. Availability: Which Content is available, and from which source, may differ by country or region, by device and over time, and may depend on the rights available to us in each region. We may add, change, restrict, or remove any Content, and modify, update, add, suspend, or discontinue certain features of the Services, at our sole discretion.

3. CONTENT, RATINGS AND VIEWER DISCRETION

3.1. Entertainment Only: The Content is provided for entertainment purposes only. Unless otherwise stated, the Content consists of works of fiction, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events is coincidental.

3.2. Mature Themes: Some Content may contain themes such as romance, conflict, violence, or strong language that may not be suitable for all viewers. Viewer discretion is advised, and you are responsible for deciding whether particular Content is appropriate for you.

3.3. Ratings and Access Controls: We may display an age rating, content descriptor or viewer advisory before Content plays, and may restrict certain Content to viewers above a minimum age or apply access controls, including where required by the law of your country of residence. You must not attempt to access Content that is restricted for your age.

3.4. AI-Assisted Content: Some Hosted Content is created in whole or in part with artificial intelligence tools. Characters, faces, voices and settings in such Content are synthetic or fictional unless otherwise stated, and we label AI-generated Content where required by applicable law.

3.6. Third-Party Views: The views, opinions, and depictions in YouTube Content and Hosted Content belong to their respective creators and do not necessarily reflect our views.

4. ADVERTISEMENTS, LOCKED EPISODES AND PURCHASES

4.1. Advertising: The App does not currently offer subscriptions or in-app purchases. The Services are provided free of charge and are supported by advertisements, which may be displayed at various points while you use the App. Our advertisements are not placed on or within any YouTube video and do not block, modify, or interfere with advertisements served by YouTube.

4.2. YouTube Content Is Always Free: We do not charge you, and do not require you to watch an advertisement or take any action other than selecting play, in order to watch or continue watching any YouTube Content.

4.3. Locked Episodes: Some episodes of Hosted Content may be locked, and may be unlocked by watching a rewarded advertisement or by other means shown in the App. Unlocks and other rewards have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred, apply only on the device on which they were obtained unless we state otherwise, and may be changed, limited, or expire at our discretion. If no advertisement is available, the related unlock or reward may be temporarily unavailable. If an unlocked episode is removed under Section 2.3 or Section 7, the unlock does not entitle you to any compensation.

4.4. Future Purchases: If we introduce subscriptions or other in-app purchases in the future, they will be billed through Google Play Billing, they will never be required to watch YouTube Content, and their price, duration, and terms will be disclosed within the App and through the Google Play Store before you confirm payment.

4.5. Third-Party Advertisers: Advertisements are provided by third-party advertising partners. We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements or for any products, services, or websites they promote, and any interaction you have with an advertiser is solely between you and that advertiser.

5. OWNERSHIP AND YOUR LICENCE TO VIEW

Limited Licence to View: Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to stream and view Hosted Content, and to use the App Materials, solely within the App, for your personal, non-commercial use, and only in the countries where we make that Content available to you.

6.4. Availability of YouTube Content: Any YouTube video may be removed, made private, restricted by region or age, or have embedding disabled by its owner or by YouTube at any time, in which case it will no longer be available in the App. YouTube Content plays only while the App is open and visible on your screen and cannot be downloaded or played offline or in the background.

7.2. How to Notify Us of Infringement: If you are a rights holder, or are authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that any Content in the App infringes your copyright, trademark, image, likeness, voice, or other rights, please send a notice to the email address in Section 20 with the subject "IP Notice", or use the Report Content feature in the App. To allow us to act quickly, your notice should include:

7.3. What We Do: On receiving a notice that is complete or that otherwise allows us to identify the Content and the right concerned, we will review it promptly and may remove or disable access to the Content in the App, in all or some regions, while we review it. We may forward the notice, including your contact details, to the person who supplied or claims rights in the Content so that they can respond, and we may inform you of the outcome. Removing or disabling Content does not constitute an admission of any liability.

7.4. Notices About YouTube Content: Removing YouTube Content from the App does not remove it from YouTube. If you are the rights holder of a YouTube video, please also submit your complaint directly to YouTube through its copyright and reporting tools.

7.5. Other Reports: If you believe any Content is unlawful, harmful, wrongly rated, or uses a real person's name, face, or voice without consent, you can report it using the Report Content feature in the App or by contacting us.

7.6. Grievances: Where the law of your country of residence provides for a grievance or complaint mechanism regarding Content, you may raise your grievance using the contact details in Section 20, and we will acknowledge and decide on it within the time limits required by that law.

7.7. False Notices: Submitting a notice or report that you know to be materially false may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and legal fees. We may disregard notices or reports that we reasonably consider abusive, repetitive, or made in bad faith.
