Terms of service
Last updated · May 22, 2026
By using Cinemate you agree to these terms. We've kept them as short as we reasonably can. If anything's unclear, ask — that's faster than the lawyers.
Your account
You need to be at least 13 to use Cinemate. You're responsible for what happens on your account, so keep your sign-in credentials safe. Tell us if you suspect unauthorized access.
Acceptable use
Don't do anything illegal. Don't harass other users. Don't try to break the service or scrape it at scale. We may suspend accounts that violate these in obvious ways.
Your content
Reviews, lists, and notes you write are yours. By posting them on Cinemate, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display and store them so the product works. You can delete content (or your whole account) at any time.
Our content
The Cinemate name, mark, and software are ours. Review or article content posted by other users belongs to those users — don't republish without permission.
Third-party services
Cinemate is built on top of two data providers, and our use of their data flows through to you when you use Cinemate.
- Movie metadata is provided by TMDB — see their Terms of Use and API Terms.
- Streaming availability ("Where to watch") is provided by JustWatch via TMDB — see their Terms of Use.
Full attribution lives on /about.
Service availability
We aim to keep Cinemate online and fast, but we don't guarantee uptime. We may change features, retire surfaces, or perform maintenance. We'll communicate material changes ahead of time when we can.
Termination
You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or pose a risk to the service or other users.
Disclaimer & contact
Cinemate is provided "as is," without warranties. To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
