Cinemaniac's service is intended for personal and non-commercial use only and only for users of adult age. Any user who is not yet an adult must have the permission of his/her parents or legal guardian, insofar as this is legally permissible, and the parents or legal guardian must have acknowledged these Terms of Use.

Applications for mobile devices ("Cinemaniac apps" or "apps") are normally not provided by me directly, but by a third-party provider (hereinafter "App store"). I cannot guarantee that Cinemaniac will have the same functionality, design, and user experience on all mobile devices. Additionally, users should review the terms of use from their respective App store.

Cinemaniac is provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranties, express or implied. I do not provide any guarantees or warranties, including warranties of merchantability, suitability for a specific purpose, availability, safety, ownership, or non-infringement of rights.

Cinemaniac may contain inaccuracies, errors, bugs, or interruptions, and I do not warrant that it is reliable, error-free, or complete. I also do not guarantee that Cinemaniac will meet the user's requirements, be available without interruption, or that the results of using Cinemaniac will be accurate or reliable. The quality of the products, services, information, or other material received through Cinemaniac may not meet the user's expectations, and I do not guarantee that any faults in Cinemaniac will be rectified.

You will use Cinemaniac at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for any damage or loss resulting from your use of Cinemaniac, including damage to their system or loss of data.

Usage Options

Users do not need to create an account to use Cinemaniac's services. With Cinemaniac, users can discover movies and TV shows, find out info about them, and create their own personal watchlist.

Users also have the ability to create a free Cinemaniac account by signing in with a Google or Apple account. A free Cinemaniac account allows users to access their personal watchlist from any supported mobile device, and to connect with the Cinemaniac app.

Cinemaniac Pro

In addition to Cinemaniac's free core features, users can access additional features through a six-month subscription called "Cinemaniac Pro". These features include the removal of all ads within the app, accessing to information about where to watch movies and TV shows, unlocking custom categories or lists, unlocking custom themes.

Activation of the Pro features is optional and can only take place via the mobile Cinemaniac app. All paid features are accessible via the mobile Cinemaniac app. The price for a Pro subscription is displayed within the App and includes value-added tax, insofar as applicable.

A subscription to Cinemaniac Pro grants the user access to enhanced digital features for the duration of the contract or as long as they are available. The subscription does not include any physical goods or permanent rights to digital content.

I may alter, add or remove digital content and/or features at any time.

The user can cancel Cinemaniac Pro at any time through the App store, and the subscription will remain active until the end of the current subscription period. After the subscription expires, the Cinemaniac app will revert back to the free version, but the user will still retain their free account.

A subscription will also end if the user's payment is unsuccessful or if I decide to discontinue the Pro option, effective on the next available date.

Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I exclude all liability for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages or loss, including lost profits, resulting from or in connection with the use of Cinemaniac, regardless of whether such damages or loss are caused by breach of contract, breach of warranty, or tort (including negligence and product liability), or any other financial loss. It does not matter whether I have been informed of the possibility of such damages or loss.

Cinemaniac may include links to third-party websites, the content of which I have no control over. Therefore, I cannot provide any warranties for external content. The provider or operator of these sites is always responsible for their content. The linked sites were checked for potential violations of law at the time the link was created, and no illegal content was detected.
