Terms
of Use.

1. About these Terms and acceptance

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Nanjing Yaoling Internet Technology Co. LTD (“KnotReels”, “we”, “us” or “our”). They apply to the KnotReels mobile application, this website, our video players and other digital services that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Additional terms displayed for a particular feature apply to that feature; if they conflict with these Terms, the more specific terms control.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the Services only with permission from and under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms. You must not use the Services where access is prohibited by applicable law.

3. The Services and viewing availability

KnotReels develops and presents fiction, short-form dramas, promotional reels and AI-assisted media. We may add, remove, update, localize, suspend or discontinue content or features, and availability may differ by region, device or distribution partner.

Content identified as free may be viewed without payment or episode unlocking. If paid subscriptions, virtual items or other purchases are introduced, prices and material terms will be clearly displayed before purchase and any consent required by law will be obtained. References to planned titles or features are informational and are not a promise that they will be released or remain available.

4. Accounts

Some features may require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account to the extent permitted by law. We may ask you to verify ownership before restoring access or changing account details.

5. Limited license

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to access and stream the Services for lawful, non-commercial entertainment purposes. No ownership right is transferred to you.

You may not copy, download except through an expressly enabled feature, record, rebroadcast, publicly perform, modify, translate, distribute, sell, rent, frame, mirror, create derivative works from or commercially exploit the Services or their content unless applicable law permits it or we give prior written permission.

6. Intellectual property and AI-assisted media

The Services—including stories, scripts, characters, videos, artwork, audio, software, interfaces, designs, logos, trademarks and compilations—are owned by or licensed to us and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Some concepts, visualizations, localization or production elements may be created or enhanced with artificial-intelligence tools under human creative direction. AI-assisted elements may be fictional, stylized or imperfect and must not be treated as factual, professional or identity-verification material. You may not use our content to train, fine-tune or evaluate a machine-learning model, create a substantially similar commercial service, or generate deceptive impersonations without our written permission.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory or infringing purposes;
• circumvent territorial restrictions, security features, content protections, rate limits or access controls;
• introduce malware, probe vulnerabilities, interfere with availability, or attempt unauthorized access to systems or data;
• use bots, crawlers, scrapers or automated means that burden the Services or extract content or data, except ordinary search-engine indexing that respects our published controls;
• remove rights notices, misrepresent the origin of content, impersonate another person or falsely suggest endorsement by KnotReels;
• harvest personal data, spam users or advertise or solicit without permission; or
• encourage, assist or attempt any prohibited activity.

8. Feedback and submissions

If you send feedback, ideas or non-confidential creative suggestions without a separate written agreement, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to use, reproduce, adapt and communicate that submission for evaluating, improving and promoting our business and Services. You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit it.

Do not send confidential scripts, personal data, trade secrets or material subject to third-party restrictions unless we have agreed in writing to receive it. This clause does not transfer ownership of a formally commissioned work or override a separate signed agreement.

9. Third-party services

The Services may contain links to app stores, social platforms, licensors or other third-party services. They are provided for convenience and are governed by the third party’s own terms and policies. We do not control or endorse, and are not responsible for, their content, security, availability or practices.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal data. By using the Services, you acknowledge that notice. Where consent is legally required, we will request it separately.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may restrict, suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created legal or security risk, infringed rights, or where a Service is discontinued. Where appropriate and reasonably practicable, we will provide notice. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including intellectual-property, disclaimers, liability, indemnity and dispute provisions—will survive.

12. Disclaimers

The Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties and conditions, including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted availability. We do not promise that content will be error-free, continuously available, suitable for every viewer or preserved indefinitely.

Stories and characters are fictional unless expressly stated otherwise. Similarity to actual persons or events may be coincidental or used under lawful creative, documentary or licensed context. Nothing in the Services is legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, KnotReels, Nanjing Yaoling Internet Technology Co. LTD and their officers, employees, affiliates, licensors and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising from or related to the Services.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability arising from the Services will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid directly to us for the relevant Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) USD 100. This limitation does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or other liability that applicable law does not allow us to limit.

14. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us against third-party claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your material breach of these Terms, or content you submit that infringes another person’s rights. This does not require you to indemnify us for our own negligence, willful misconduct or breach.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the registered place of Nanjing Yaoling Internet Technology Co. LTD, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The competent courts at that place will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory consumer-protection rights or forum rights that apply where you live. Before starting formal proceedings, you and we agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort for 30 days to resolve the dispute through the contact details below, unless urgent injunctive relief is required.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Services, law or business practices. The updated version will be published with a revised date. If a change materially affects existing users, we will provide additional notice where reasonably practicable or legally required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. General provisions

If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition or transfer of the Services. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and applicable feature-specific terms are the entire agreement regarding your use of the Services.

18. Contact and rights notices

Questions, legal notices or good-faith claims that content infringes intellectual-property rights may be sent to:

An infringement notice should identify the protected work, the material at issue and its location, your contact information, the basis of your good-faith claim, and evidence that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for the owner.
