1. Agreement
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and DoevStream ("DoevStream", "we", "us"), operated from the State of Connecticut, USA. They govern your use of the DoevStream apps for Android phones, tablets and Android TV / Google TV (the "App"), the website doevstream.com (the "Site"), the web app at app.doevstream.com (the "Web App") and related services (together, the "Services").
DoevStream is operated by an individual based in Connecticut, USA. Contact: [email protected]
By downloading, installing or using the Services you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to create an account. Children may use the App only through a Kids profile created and supervised by an adult account holder.
2. What DoevStream is — please read
DoevStream is software: a player and interface for browsing and playing media. DoevStream hosts no content. We do not provide, upload, store, stream, sell or distribute movies, shows, live channels or other media, and we do not provide or link to streams.
Titles, descriptions, artwork and ratings shown in the App are metadata from TMDB and other public metadata services. Metadata describes titles; it is not the titles themselves and does not mean a title is available to watch.
What you can play depends entirely on the add-ons you install (Section 3). The App comes with public add-ons for title information and subtitles only; they provide no video.
3. Add-ons
Add-ons are independent software made and run by third parties (or by you) and installed by you. We do not host, develop, provide, recommend, review or control add-ons or anything they make available, and we are not responsible for them.
You alone are responsible for the add-ons you install and for making sure that your use of them, and of any content you access through them, is lawful where you live and respects the rights of others, including copyright.
If you make or distribute an add-on, you are solely responsible for it and for the content it makes available, and you confirm you have all rights needed to do so.
We may, without notice, block an add-on from working in the App if we reasonably believe it is unlawful, infringes the rights of others, or harms users or the Services.
4. Your account
Some features, such as profiles and syncing across devices, need an account. You register with an email address and a password and confirm the address with a one-time code we email to you. Keep your details accurate.
Keep your password and Kids PIN private; you are responsible for activity on your account. Approve a sign-in (by QR code or by code) only for a TV or tablet you control, and never enter a code someone sent you. Sign out devices you no longer use from the device list. Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you believe your account is being misused.
5. Profiles and Kids profiles
An account can have up to 5 profiles, each with its own history, lists and settings.
Kids profiles show titles based on age ratings supplied by third-party metadata services and can be protected with a PIN. Ratings can be missing or wrong, and add-ons may offer content outside those ratings, so the Kids filter is a help and not a guarantee. The account holder is responsible for choosing the right age setting, keeping the PIN private and supervising children's use.
6. Acceptable use
Use the Services only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- use the Services to infringe copyright or other rights of anyone;
- access other people's accounts or data, or try to get around security or usage limits;
- interfere with, overload or disrupt the Services or the services they rely on;
- copy, resell or redistribute the Services, or reverse engineer them except where the law allows it;
- use the Services in any way that breaks the law or these Terms.
7. Your licence to use the App
The App is free. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, under these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Download the App only from doevstream.com or an official store listing we link to, and check the SHA-256 checksum shown on the Downloads page. Copies from other sources may be modified and unsafe. Installing apps from outside an app store requires you to allow it on your device, which is your decision and at your own risk.
8. Third-party services
The Services work with third-party services, including TMDB (metadata and artwork), YouTube (trailers), Trakt (optional watch tracking you connect yourself), external player apps you choose, and Buy Me a Coffee (optional donations). Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Third-party names and trademarks belong to their owners; mentioning them does not mean they endorse or partner with DoevStream.
9. Donations
Donations through Buy Me a Coffee are voluntary gifts to support development. They do not buy any product, service, feature or level of support, and they do not change these Terms. Payments are processed by Buy Me a Coffee and its payment partners under their terms. Except where the law requires otherwise, donations are not refundable.
10. Intellectual property and copyright notices
The DoevStream name, logo, App, Site and their design are owned by DoevStream and protected by law. You may not copy, modify or distribute them, or create derivative works from them, except as the law allows or with our written permission.
Metadata, artwork and any content reached through add-ons belong to their respective owners. Because we host no content, copyright concerns about content offered by an add-on should go to the operator of that add-on. For concerns about the App or Site themselves, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to identify the material and your rights; we will review and respond.
11. Changes to the Services
We work to keep the Services available but do not promise they will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free. We may change, suspend or end any part of the Services, including features that depend on third parties. You are responsible for the devices, software and internet connection you use.
12. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT METADATA IS ACCURATE, THAT KIDS FILTERING IS COMPLETE, OR THAT ANY ADD-ON, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR CONTENT IS LAWFUL, SAFE OR AVAILABLE.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DOEVSTREAM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES, ADD-ONS, THIRD-PARTY SERVICES OR CONTENT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES IS LIMITED TO US$50.
Some places do not allow these exclusions or limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
14. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DoevStream from claims, damages, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, the add-ons you install or make, the content you access, or your breach of these Terms or the law.
15. Ending this agreement
You can stop using the Services at any time and delete your account in the App (Settings → Account → Delete account) or by emailing us. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms or the law, or to protect users or the Services. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as 3, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 16) continue after the agreement ends.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, USA, and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Before starting a formal dispute, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Any dispute that is not resolved will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Connecticut, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.
If you are a consumer living in the EU, EEA or UK, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date shows the current version. If we make material changes, we will tell you in the App or on the Site before they take effect. If you keep using the Services after that, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Services and delete your account.
18. General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Services. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms; we may transfer ours as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the Services. These Terms are written in English; translations are provided for convenience, and the English version prevails if they differ.
