Terms of Use
Last updated:
These terms explain how you can use Sofa Time, how Premium purchases work, and the rights you keep. If something is unclear, get in touch.
Who we are
Sofa Time is operated by Javier Aznar, trading as The Clash Soft, in Spain (“we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms apply to our apps, sofatime.app and related services. You can reach us at [email protected].
Using the Services means you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Purchases are also subject to the terms of the store you use. Your mandatory rights as a consumer remain protected.
What Sofa Time does
Sofa Time helps you discover and organize films and TV shows, keep watchlists and viewing history, rate titles, view statistics and release information, find streaming availability, and use community and synchronization features. Features may differ by platform, app version, region and purchase. Sofa Time does not display advertising. Sofa Time does not host or stream films or episodes. A Sofa Time Premium purchase does not include a subscription to a streaming provider or to a connected tracking service.
Your account
Some features require a Sofa Time Cloud account or a connected third-party account. You must provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and notify us if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not impersonate another person or use someone else's account without permission.
The Services are not intended for children under 13. You must also meet any higher age or parental-authorization requirements applicable in your country. If you cannot enter into a binding purchase contract yourself, a parent or legal guardian must authorize the purchase in accordance with applicable law and the store's rules.
Refunds and your consumer rights
Canceling renewal does not itself refund a payment already made. For App Store purchases, request a refund through Apple's refund process. For Google Play purchases, use Google Play's refund process or contact us for assistance. Eligibility depends on the purchase, the store's policies and applicable law. These procedures do not limit any refund or other remedy you are entitled to by law.
Where a statutory withdrawal right applies, it remains available unless a lawful exception applies. Immediate activation alone does not waive that right. For digital content supplied without a physical medium, loss of the right requires the express consent, acknowledgment and confirmation required by law. Different rules may apply to digital services. Your rights concerning defective or non-conforming services remain unaffected.
Using the app and its materials
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive license to use Sofa Time for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms and the applicable store's usage rules. The app's code, branding and design belong to us or our licensors. Film and TV artwork and metadata belong to their respective rights holders. Except where applicable law permits it, you may not:
- Copy, modify, redistribute or commercially exploit the app or its protected materials without permission.
- Reverse engineer, decompile or circumvent the app's security or purchase verification.
- Remove copyright notices or other proprietary markings.
For apps obtained through Apple, Apple's standard End User License Agreement applies to the app license unless a separate applicable EULA is supplied. These Terms govern our Services in addition to that license; mandatory law and applicable store terms prevail where required.
Connected services and catalog information
Sofa Time uses The Movie Database (TMDB) for film and TV information and may connect to Trakt, SIMKL, MDBList and WeTrakr for supported tracking and synchronization features. These are independent services with their own terms, privacy policies, account requirements and any separate charges. Connecting an account authorizes the supported exchanges and updates needed for the features you enable. Review synchronization options carefully, including settings that propagate changes or deletions.
Sofa Time is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Release dates, recommendations, translations and streaming availability may be incomplete or inaccurate and can change by country and provider. Check the streaming provider before paying for or relying on availability information. External links are subject to the linked service's terms; we do not control those services.
Your comments, images and other content
You retain ownership of the rights in your original comments, reviews, replies, attached images, photographs, lists, profile text and other contributions ("User Content"). Uploading someone else's material does not give you ownership of it; its rights remain with the relevant rights holder. Sofa Time does not acquire ownership of your User Content.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit, including the text and every image or other attachment, and for your decision to publish it. You must have the necessary rights, permissions or other lawful basis to upload it and allow the uses described here, including any rights concerning identifiable people, privacy and intellectual property. You are responsible for breaches and resulting harm attributable to your own conduct under applicable law. User Content expresses its author's views; hosting or displaying it does not mean Sofa Time endorses it. This does not exclude any responsibility or duty that applicable law places on Sofa Time.
For content you submit, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, synchronize, display and make it available through the Services according to the feature's visibility settings. This includes technical resizing or compression of images and supported translations, and allowing our service providers to process it only as needed to provide these features. The license is limited to operating the Services, lasts while the content is available through them, and ends when it is deleted, subject to limited backup retention and preservation required by law or for legal claims. It does not transfer ownership or waive your non-waivable rights.
Comments and their attachments can be public even when your profile is private. See our Privacy Policy before sharing. Use the available deletion controls or contact [email protected] for help removing your content. Copies made independently by other people or services may remain outside our control.
Community rules
These rules apply to text, images, links, profile materials and all other contributions. You must not:
- Post unlawful content, threats, harassment, targeted insults, hateful or discriminatory abuse, incitement to violence, or false factual allegations that unlawfully harm someone's reputation.
- Upload pornography, sexually explicit imagery, graphic violence, material depicting or promoting child sexual abuse or exploitation, or intimate images shared without the person's consent, including manipulated images.
- Infringe copyright, trademarks, privacy, image rights or other rights. Do not publish private contact details, confidential information or identifiable images of others without a lawful basis.
- Post spam, scams, deceptive promotions, malicious links or files, impersonate another person, or manipulate reactions or reports.
- Use another account or other means to evade a publishing restriction, repost removed material to bypass moderation, or submit knowingly false or abusive reports.
- Access data without authorization, overload the Services or use automation to bypass access limits.
Keep contributions relevant to the discussion, treat others respectfully and use spoiler controls where available. A disagreement or a negative opinion, expressed without breaking these rules, is not by itself a reason for a sanction.
Removing content and restricting publication
We reserve the right to hide, remove or disable access to comments, replies, attached images or other User Content that is unlawful, offensive under the rules above, or otherwise breaches these Terms. We may act following a report, our own review or a lawful authority's request. An image can be moderated separately from the accompanying text, or the whole contribution can be removed when appropriate.
Depending on the seriousness, recurrence and context of a breach, we may issue a warning, temporarily or permanently prevent a user from posting new comments, replies or images, restrict other community functions, or suspend or terminate an account when justified. Serious violations or an urgent risk can justify immediate action without a prior warning. We apply measures diligently, objectively and proportionately, taking account of the rights of the people involved. Premium access does not exempt a user from these rules.
Moderation combines automated safeguards and human review. Automated rules can hide contributions after reports from different accounts, record moderation strikes and hide new contributions when an account reaches a strike limit. Human moderation can also remove content and record strikes. Automated measures can make mistakes; a report count does not, on its own, establish that content is unlawful. You can request human review as described below. We do not guarantee that every contribution is reviewed before publication.
Where applicable law requires a statement of reasons and we have your electronic contact details, we will provide it no later than when the restriction takes effect, subject to lawful exceptions. It will explain the content or conduct concerned, the rule or legal ground, the measure and its scope or duration where relevant, any use of automated means, and the available ways to challenge it. A publishing restriction does not automatically cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Mandatory consumer rights and any remedies for paid services remain protected.
Reporting content and requesting review
Anyone can report content using the app's reporting tools where available or by emailing [email protected]. Identify the comment, reply or image precisely, with a link or identifier if available and enough context to locate it. Explain the reason for the report and, for allegedly unlawful content, why you believe it is unlawful. Include relevant supporting information, your name and contact email where required by law, and a statement that you believe in good faith that the information is accurate and complete. Do not download or forward unlawful imagery to make a report; identify its location instead. Identification requirements are subject to applicable legal exceptions, including for reports of child sexual abuse material.
We will assess reports promptly and objectively, acknowledge receipt and communicate the outcome and available review options where required by law and where contact details are available. A report does not guarantee removal. To challenge a removal, publishing restriction, account measure or a decision on your report, email the same address with the decision reference, your reasons and any relevant evidence. Review requests are free, receive human consideration and can result in correction of an error, restoration of content or lifting of a restriction where appropriate. This process does not limit any statutory complaint, out-of-court dispute resolution or court remedy available to you.
Service changes and leaving Sofa Time
Maintenance, network failures and third-party changes can interrupt the Services. We may update features for security, compatibility or service improvements. Material changes affecting paid access will be handled with any notice, consent and remedies required by law; this clause does not allow us to remove purchased rights without those protections.
You may stop using Sofa Time and request account deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate access for a material breach, unlawful activity or a security risk. Where reasonably possible, we will explain the reason and provide an opportunity to resolve the issue; urgent action may be necessary. Account termination does not automatically cancel subscriptions held by Apple or Google, and does not remove statutory remedies.
Our responsibility
We exercise reasonable care in providing the Services, but cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation or the accuracy of information supplied by third parties. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect losses or losses arising solely from services outside our control. No exclusion applies where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable rights to conformity, remedies for defective digital services, or liability for fraud, deliberate misconduct or gross negligence.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms and will show the revision date on this page. We will give reasonable notice of material changes through the Services or another appropriate channel and obtain consent where required. Changes do not retroactively alter completed purchases or override mandatory consumer rights.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you retain the mandatory protections of the law of your habitual residence where applicable. Disputes may be brought before the courts competent under applicable law, including courts in your place of residence where consumer rules provide for this. Please contact us if you have a complaint so we can try to resolve it.
Contact and privacy
For questions about these Terms, purchases or complaints, contact [email protected]. How we process personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy. Accepting these Terms does not constitute consent to optional tracking or marketing.
