TalePace Terms of Service

1. Introduction and Acceptance

Welcome to TalePace (the "Service"), an iOS short-drama service operated by the developer responsible for the TalePace iOS application (the "TalePace Operator," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the TalePace iOS application, our website, and related services. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

For the iOS version of the Service downloaded from the Apple App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple Standard EULA") applies to the license of the application. These Terms govern use of the Service and supplement, but do not replace, the Apple Standard EULA. If these Terms conflict with the Apple Standard EULA regarding the license of the iOS application, the Apple Standard EULA controls.

2. Eligibility and Service Model

You must meet the minimum age required by applicable law to use the Service. If you have not reached the age of majority in your location, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian where required.

TalePace does not currently provide an account registration or login system. The Service does not currently offer subscriptions, virtual currency, or paid content unlocks, and it does not allow users to post, upload, comment, chat, or otherwise publish user-generated content.

3. Service and Content Availability

TalePace provides access to short-form drama and related audiovisual content. Content availability may vary by platform, location, licensing period, device, or version of the Service. We may add, remove, replace, or modify content and features when reasonably necessary, including because of licensing, legal, security, or technical requirements.

4. Limited License and Intellectual Property

All content and materials provided through the Service, including video, audio, text, graphics, logos, images, and software, are owned by TalePace or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Service for lawful, non-commercial use. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

5. Prohibited Uses

You must not:

• Use the Service in violation of applicable law;
• Copy, record, redistribute, publicly display, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit Service content without authorization;
• Circumvent content protection, advertising, access controls, geographic restrictions, or security features;
• Reverse engineer, modify, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• Introduce malware, viruses, or harmful code;
• Attempt unauthorized access to the Service, infrastructure, or another party's systems;
• Use bots, crawlers, scrapers, or other automated means to access or collect data from the Service without prior written permission;
• Interfere with the operation, security, or availability of the Service.

6. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The Service may display third-party advertisements and may include links to or integrations with third-party services. Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content or services, except as required by applicable law.

7. Privacy

Information is handled as described in the TalePace Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. The Privacy Policy explains data practices for the TalePace iOS application, including analytics, advertising, attribution, and user privacy choices.

8. Service Changes, Suspension, and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by closing and uninstalling the application. Because TalePace does not currently provide user accounts, there is no account to terminate.

We may restrict or discontinue access to all or part of the Service where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, licensing, abuse prevention, or discontinuation of the Service. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR CONSUMER RIGHTS THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TALEPACE AND ITS LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT LAWFULLY BE LIMITED.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, applicable law, or our operational practices. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice when required. Your continued use after the updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
