These Terms govern your use of the veedeeoh cloud service at veedeeoh.com. By ticking the agreement box at sign-up, or by continuing to use the service, you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use veedeeoh. Self-hosting veedeeoh from the open-source repository is covered by that project's licence, not by these Terms.
These Terms are between you and veedeeoh, the operator of this service, referred to throughout as "veedeeoh", "we" or "us".
[REVIEW: legal entity] The operator trades as veedeeoh. Counsel needs to confirm that the trading name alone is sufficient to identify the counterparty in each jurisdiction served, whether a trading-name registration is required where the operator is established, and to add the legal form and registered address once the operator incorporates. A postal address for legal notices is still outstanding and is required regardless.
veedeeoh is a single interface over catalogues that are already free to watch. When you press play, the video streams from the provider that holds it, directly to your browser. We do not host it, store it, transcode it, re-encode it or re-transmit it, and we do not remove or replace the advertising those providers insert. A small number of playlist files pass through a relay of ours purely because the provider does not send the browser headers that would let it fetch them directly.
We do not licence any of the content and we do not choose what is in those catalogues. Titles appear, disappear, and change region by region entirely at the providers' discretion. Nothing in these Terms is a promise that a particular title, source or stream will be there tomorrow.
[REVIEW: provider terms of service] The service reaches Pluto TV and Tubi through their internal APIs rather than a published partner interface, and identifies itself with browser-style headers when doing so. Whether that is consistent with those providers' terms of service, and what the exposure is if it is not, is the single most consequential legal question about this product and needs a specific answer before launch. It is described honestly in the technical notes accompanying this document.
A subscription covers one household. Within it you can create viewing profiles, invite household members up to your seat limit, and set what each profile is allowed to watch.
| Item | Terms |
|---|---|
| Cloud subscription | 4 US dollars per month, including 3 seats. Each additional seat is 2 US dollars per month, charged on the same subscription. |
| Free trial | New accounts start with a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel before it ends, it becomes a paid subscription automatically. |
| Renewal | Monthly, automatically, until cancelled. |
| Payment | Handled by Stripe. Card details go to Stripe, never to us. |
| Failed payment | Stripe retries. Access continues for a short grace period while it does; if the payment still fails, access ends. |
| Cancelling | From Settings, at any time. Access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for. |
Except where the law says otherwise, payments already made are not refundable, including for a period you did not use. We may change prices with advance notice, and a change applies from your next billing period.
[REVIEW: automatic renewal and refunds] Automatic renewal disclosure rules (for example California's Automatic Renewal Law and comparable state and EU rules) prescribe specific wording, placement, consent capture and a cancellation mechanism. The EU and UK also give consumers a statutory withdrawal right that a blanket "no refunds" clause cannot override. Both need counsel's wording. Also confirm whether sales tax or VAT applies and whether Stripe Tax should be collecting it.
Hosting a watch party spends credits. One credit is ten minutes of hosting time, measured on the clock and unaffected by how many people are watching. Subscribers receive a monthly allowance which rolls over up to a ceiling; anything above that ceiling is lost rather than banked. You can buy a top-up of 24 credits for 1 US dollar as a one-off payment.
[REVIEW: credits as stored value] Purchased credits can fall under gift card, stored value or unclaimed property rules in some US states, which restrict expiry and forfeiture. The clause above now offers a refund of the unused purchased balance on closure rather than forfeiting it, which is the conservative reading. Monthly allowance credits are granted rather than bought and are not refundable. The rollover ceiling still expires granted credits and should be checked.
If someone subscribes after you brought them, you earn half of what we keep from their payments, every month, for as long as they keep the account. There is no limit on how many people you can bring.
Getting paid. Payouts are made by hand while the programme is small, so tell us where to send it and we will arrange it. We do not expire or absorb a balance you have not collected. Two things are worth knowing: we may hold a balance until it is large enough to be worth transferring, and if you delete your own account we can no longer pay you, because there is no longer an account to pay. The app tells you what is owed before it lets you delete.
If you promote veedeeoh. Advertising rules in the US and elsewhere require you to disclose that you earn from a link when you share it. A plain sentence saying so is enough. This applies to everyone, because everyone earns by default.
Tax. What you earn is income and is yours to declare. If we pay you enough in a year that we are required to report it, we will ask you for the details needed to do that before paying.
[REVIEW: referral payouts] Drafted best effort without counsel. Open: whether US Form 1099-NEC reporting is triggered (the threshold is 600 dollars a year, which at 2 dollars a month needs roughly 25 concurrent referred subscribers), whether W-9 collection should precede any payout rather than follow it, whether payments to non-US referrers raise withholding questions, and whether a separate affiliate agreement is preferable to these Terms now that participation is automatic for every account. Unclaimed balances are deliberately not forfeited to us; if a dormancy rule is ever wanted it should escheat rather than absorb.
Do not: resell, sublicence or commercially redistribute access to the service; share your account beyond your household or your paid seats; download, record, rip or redistribute content reached through the app, except as the interface itself offers; scrape or bulk-extract the catalogue; work around security, access controls, rating limits, seat limits or credit limits; attack, overload or probe the service; or use veedeeoh for anything unlawful.
Watch parties are for people you know. Do not use a party to broadcast content publicly or commercially, and do not use the service to harass anyone.
Titles, artwork, metadata, trademarks and streams reached through veedeeoh belong to their respective owners. veedeeoh claims no ownership of any of it. The veedeeoh name, wordmark and interface are ours.
If you believe something reachable through veedeeoh infringes your rights, write to support@veedeeoh.com with enough detail to identify the work and the material, and we will act on it, including removing the link where warranted.
Reporting something. Send us, at the address above: what the work is and where you hold rights in it; where in veedeeoh the material appears, precisely enough for us to find it; your name and contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised; and a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them. We will remove or disable the link promptly where the report is well founded, and tell you what we did.
If we remove something of yours. Tell us why you believe it was removed in error and we will look again and reinstate it if we agree.
Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe. Because veedeeoh hosts nothing and uploads nothing, this will usually concern a listing rather than a file.
[REVIEW: DMCA safe harbour] A procedure and a repeat infringer policy are now published, which is most of what the safe harbour asks for. Still missing: a designated agent registered with the US Copyright Office, which costs about 6 dollars and requires a physical address the operator does not yet have. Also worth deciding whether the safe harbour is the right frame at all, since we host nothing and link only.
The service is provided as it is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, that any title will play, that a stream will be free of errors, or that rating and parental control information will be accurate or complete. Much of that depends on third-party providers we do not control.
Nothing above takes away rights you have as a consumer that cannot be taken away by agreement. If you are a consumer in the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia or a US state whose law gives you guarantees about services being supplied with reasonable care and skill, those guarantees apply regardless of anything in this section, and where they conflict with it they win.
To the maximum extent the law allows, veedeeoh and the people who operate it are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for loss of data, profits or goodwill, nor for anything arising from third-party content or from a provider changing or withdrawing it. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where a limitation in this section is not permitted by the law that applies to you, it does not apply to you, and the rest of the section still stands.
You may stop using veedeeoh at any time, cancel from Settings, and delete your account from Settings. Deleting cancels your subscription and permanently removes your data, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate access for a breach of these Terms, for non-payment, or where the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination do so, including content ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability and the governing law clause.
We may update these Terms. The "last updated" date reflects the current version, and we will give notice of material changes through the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept it.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved between us may be brought in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, the European Union or another jurisdiction whose law gives you mandatory protections or a right to bring proceedings locally, nothing in this section takes those away.
There is no arbitration clause and no class action waiver here. That is a choice, not an omission: if we ever have a dispute, you keep the right to go to court, including a small claims court, and to join others in doing so. Before that, please write to us and give us 30 days to sort it out, and we will do the same for you.
[REVIEW: dispute resolution] Deliberately no arbitration agreement and no class action waiver. A drafted-without-counsel arbitration clause is worse than none: they are technical, frequently struck down when badly written, and unenforceable in several jurisdictions this serves. Revisit with counsel if volume ever makes it worth having.
Legal and general notices to us should be sent to support@veedeeoh.com, which is the operator's address for service of notices under these Terms. We will send notices to you at the email address on your account.
[REVIEW: notices] The operator has no fixed postal address at present and notices are handled by email. Counsel should confirm that is sufficient in each jurisdiction served, and note two specific consequences of it. First, CAN-SPAM requires a valid physical postal address in commercial email, so no marketing email may be sent until one exists; transactional and relationship messages, such as trial reminders and receipts, are not affected. Second, the DMCA safe harbour requires a designated agent with a physical address registered with the US Copyright Office, which cannot be done without one.
