Note: Stellicast is in early development and may be incomplete, unstable, or unavailable at times. Features may be added, changed, or removed without notice.

1. Who We Are

  • You are responsible for updating your information if it changes.

4.2. Account Security

You are responsible for:

  • Keeping your login credentials confidential.

If you suspect unauthorized use of your account, you must notify us promptly. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account.

5. User Content

  • Videos, audio, images, and thumbnails
  • Titles, descriptions, tags, and metadata
  • Comments, reactions, and other text

5.1. Your Rights and License to Us

You retain any ownership rights you have in your User Content.

By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to:

  • Host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as encoding, transcoding, or resizing), adapt, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform your User Content,
  • For the purposes of operating, improving, promoting, and providing the Service.

This license continues for as long as your User Content is available on the Service. Certain copies may persist in backups or logs for a limited period even after deletion.

You are solely responsible for your User Content and for the consequences of posting or sharing it. You represent and warrant that:

  • You have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload and share the content.
  • Your User Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party, including copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, or other rights.

6. Prohibited Conduct

While Stellicast encourages free speech, you agree not to use the Service to:

  1. Break the law

    • Violate any applicable law, regulation, or court order.
    • Infringe or misappropriate any third-party rights (including copyright, trademark, or privacy rights).

  2. Upload harmful, abusive, or explicit content

    • Post content that is illegal, fraudulent, or deceptive.
    • Post content that is hateful, harassing, threatening, or that incites violence or harm.

  5. Circumvent technical measures

    • Bypass, disable, or otherwise interfere with security features or content protections without explicit permission from us.
    • Use automated systems (bots, scrapers) to access or collect data from the Service in a way that burdens our infrastructure or violates our policies.

  6. Misuse AI content

    • Misrepresent AI-generated content as entirely human-made where our policy requires disclosure.
    • Use AI or automation to mass-generate spam, low-quality content, or deceptive material.

We reserve the right—but not the obligation*—to review, moderate, or remove User Content or accounts that we believe violate these Terms or applicable law.

* While we will try our best to moderate content, we cannot guarantee that we will always be able to do so.

7. Content Moderation and Enforcement

We may enforce these Terms in various ways, including:

  • Removing or restricting access to specific content.
  • Limiting certain account features or functionality.
  • Suspending or terminating accounts or channels.
  • Reporting illegal content or activity to relevant authorities when required or appropriate.

Moderation decisions may involve human review, automated tools, or a combination of both. While we aim for fairness and transparency, we are not obligated to explain every individual moderation decision.*

* While we will try our best to explain in detail every moderation decision, we cannot guarantee that we always will be able to provide any more than a short reason for the termination.

8. Intellectual Property of Stellicast

The Service, including its:

  • Code, design, user interface, and layout,
  • Logos, branding, and trademarks,

  1. The amount you have paid to us (if any) in the 12 months preceding the claim, or
  2. $0 (zero), if you have not paid anything.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.
