Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 July 2026

These Terms govern your use of the VIDI iOS app ("VIDI", "the app", "we", "us"). By downloading or using VIDI you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

1. Who we are

VIDI is operated by Ilkin Berker Topuz, [address], Germany. Contact: [email protected]. How we handle your data is described in our Privacy Policy.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use VIDI. By using the app you confirm that you meet this requirement.

3. Your account

VIDI creates an anonymous account for you on first launch so you can use it without registering. You may optionally link an email and password to secure and recover your account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for activity that happens under your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

post or share content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, defamatory, or infringes others' rights;
impersonate others or misrepresent your affiliation;
spam, scrape, reverse-engineer, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the app or its backend;
upload malware or attempt to disrupt the service.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you create in VIDI (posts, comments, avatar, notes, and optional comment images, animated GIFs, or short videos). By posting or uploading content that is visible to other users, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, and display that content within the app for the purpose of operating the service. You are responsible for the content you post or upload and confirm you have the right to share it.

We may remove or restrict text and attachments that are unlawful, infringing, abusive, unsafe, or otherwise violate these Terms, and may retain limited moderation records where necessary to operate the service and respond to reports.

6. Catalog content & attribution

Show, movie, and game information in VIDI is shown for informational purposes. All titles, artwork, logos, and trademarks (including streaming-service names) belong to their respective owners. VIDI claims no ownership of them.

7. Supporter purchase & donations

VIDI is free to use. Two optional ways to support it exist:

Supporter purchase (in the app). A one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple under your Apple Media Services terms. It adds a cosmetic supporter badge next to your name and nothing else — no features, content, or preferential treatment. The purchase is permanent and can be restored on a new device via "Restore purchase" with the same Apple Account. The badge is tied to your VIDI account state; deleting your VIDI account removes the badge (the App Store purchase record remains with Apple). Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies.
Donations (outside the app). Voluntary gifts made via a third-party platform under its own terms (see the Donate page). They are non-refundable, are not a purchase, and grant nothing in the app.

8. Availability & changes

We work to keep VIDI available and reliable but provide it on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

9. Limitation of liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (including for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body, or health, or under the German Product Liability Act). Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, for loss of data caused by factors outside our reasonable control, or for the accuracy of third-party catalog information. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

10. Termination

You may stop using VIDI and delete your account at any time (see Account & Data Deletion). We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the app evolves. The "Last updated" date reflects the current version, and material changes will be surfaced in the app. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected. The place of jurisdiction is [your city], Germany, where permitted by law.
