Effective Date: May 1, 2026

1. Introduction & Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Vyla! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Vyla website, mobile applications, and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, browsing, or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Vyla ("Platform," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

Vyla is a media discovery and aggregation platform that provides users with comprehensive information about movies and TV shows using metadata from public APIs, including The Movie Database (TMDB). The Service also provides curated links to various third-party websites and embedded players ("Third-Party Services") that may stream media content.

Important Disclaimer: Vyla does not host, store, control, or provide any of the media content itself. We function solely as a search engine, indexer, and discovery platform for content available elsewhere on the internet. We do not verify the legality or quality of third-party content.

3. User Accounts & Registration

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account.
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your password and accept all risks of unauthorized access to your account.
• Immediately notify us if you discover any unauthorized use of your account or any security breach related to the Service.
• Be responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether authorized or not.
• Not create multiple accounts for the same person without our explicit permission.

You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

4. Acceptable Use & User Conduct

You agree not to use the Service for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. Specifically, you agree not to:

5. Third-Party Links & Content

The Service provides access to Third-Party Services that are not owned, controlled, or operated by Vyla. We make no representations or warranties about the quality, legality, safety, or availability of any Third-Party Services.

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Vyla is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any Third-Party Services.
• Vyla shall not be liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any third-party content, goods, or services.
• You access Third-Party Services at your own risk and should review their terms of service and privacy policies before using them.
• We do not endorse, guarantee, or make any representations about the accuracy or reliability of any third-party content.

6. Intellectual Property & Copyright Policy

Vyla respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). As we do not host content directly, we cannot remove content from third-party services. However, we will promptly remove links from our search results and indexing upon receipt of a valid infringement notice.

If you are a copyright owner or authorized agent and believe that any content linked to on our Service infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a DMCA notification by providing our Copyright Agent with:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient information to locate the specific Vyla URL(s) where the links are located.
• Contact information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (address, telephone number, email).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Our designated Copyright Agent can be contacted via our Discord server.

7. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

9. Data Protection & Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Our collection, use, and protection of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If the changes are material, we will provide notice by email (if you have provided us with your email address) or by posting a prominent notice on our Service prior to the effective date of the changes. By continuing to access or use our Service after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

12. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms will remain in full force and effect.
