Dated: February 14, 2020
Welcome to MGTOW.TV!
Introduction
Thank you for using the MGTOW.TV platform and the products, services and features we make available to you as part of the platform (collectively, the “Service”).
Our Service
The Service allows you to discover, watch and share videos and other content, provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe, and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.
Applicable Terms
Your use of the Service is subject to these terms, the MGTOW.TV Community Guidelines and the Policy, Safety and Copyright Policies which may be updated from time to time (together, this "Agreement"). Your Agreement with us will also include the Advertising on MGTOW.TV Policies if you provide advertising or sponsorships to the Service or incorporate paid promotions in your content. Any other links or references provided in these terms are for informational use only and are not part of the Agreement.
Please read this Agreement carefully and make sure you understand it. If you do not understand the Agreement, or do not accept any part of it, then you may not use the Service.

If you are a parent or legal guardian of a user under the age of 18, by allowing your child to use the Service, you are subject to the terms of this Agreement and responsible for your child’s activity on the Service.

Your Use of the Service
Content on the Service
The content on the Service includes videos, audio (for example music and other sounds), graphics, photos, text (such as comments and scripts), branding (including trade names, trademarks, service marks, or logos), interactive features, software, metrics, and other materials whether provided by you, MGTOW.TV or a third-party (collectively, "Content”)
Content is the responsibility of the person or entity that provides it to the Service. MGTOW.TV is under no obligation to host or serve Content. If you see any Content you believe does not comply with this Agreement, including by violating the Community Guidelines or the law, you can report it to us.
Accounts and MGTOW.TV Channels
You can use parts of the Service, such as browsing and searching for Content, without having an account. However, you do need an account to use some features. With an account, you may be able to like videos, subscribe to channels, create your own MGTOW.TV channel, and more.
Creating a MGTOW.TV channel will give you access to additional features and functions, such as uploading videos, making comments or creating playlists (where available).
Your Information
Our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal data and protect your privacy when you use the Service.
We will process any audio or audiovisual content uploaded by you to the Service in accordance with the MGTOW.TV Data Processing Terms, except in cases where you uploaded such content for personal purposes or household activities.

You may access and use the Service as made available to you, as long as you comply with this Agreement and applicable law. You may view or listen to Content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may also show MGTOW.TV videos through the embeddable MGTOW.TV player.
The following restrictions apply to your use of the Service. You are not allowed to:
access, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content except:

or (b) sell advertising, sponsorships, or promotions on any page of any website or application that only contains Content from the Service or where Content from the Service is the primary basis for such sales (for example, selling ads on a webpage where MGTOW.TV videos are the main draw for users visiting the webpage).
Reservation
Using the Service does not give you ownership of or rights to any aspect of the Service, including user names or any other Content posted by others or MGTOW.TV.
Changes to the Service
MGTOW.TV is constantly changing and improving the Service. We may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, change functionality and features, make changes to comply with law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of our systems. These changes may affect all users, some users or even an individual user. Whenever reasonably possible, we will provide notice when we discontinue or make material changes to our Service that will have an adverse impact on the use of our Service. However, you understand and agree that there will be times when we make such changes without notice, such as where we feel we need to take action to improve the security and operability of our Service, prevent abuse, or comply with legal requirements.
Your Content and Conduct
Uploading Content
If you have a MGTOW.TV channel, you may be able to upload Content to the Service. You may use your Content to promote your business or artistic enterprise. If you choose to upload Content, you must not submit to the Service any Content that does not comply with this Agreement (including the MGTOW.TV Community Guidelines) or the law. For example, the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You are legally responsible for the Content you submit to the Service. We may use automated systems that analyze your Content to help detect infringement and abuse, such as spam, malware, and illegal content.
Rights you Grant
You retain ownership rights in your Content. However, we do require you to grant certain rights to MGTOW.TV and other users of the Service, as described below.
License to MGTOW.TV
By providing Content to the Service, you grant to MGTOW.TV a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub licensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service and MGTOW.TVs (and its successors' and Affiliates') business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service.
License to Other Users
You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content, including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display, and perform it, only as enabled by a feature of the Service (such as video playback or embeds). For clarity, this license does not grant any rights or permissions for a user to make use of your Content independent of the Service.
Duration of License
The licenses granted by you continue for a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete your Content from the Service. You understand and agree, however, that MGTOW.TV may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of your videos that have been removed or deleted.
Removing Your Content
You may remove your Content from the Service at any time. You also have the option to make a copy of your Content before removing it. You must remove your Content if you no longer have the rights required by these terms.
Removal of Content By MGTOW.TV
If we reasonably believe that any Content is in breach of this Agreement or may cause harm to MGTOW.TV, our users, or third parties, we may remove or take down that Content in our discretion. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for MGTOW.TV or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, MGTOW.TV or our Affiliates.
Copyright Protection
We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online in our MGTOW.TV Copyright Center. If you believe your copyright has been infringed on the Service, please send us a notice.
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement according to the process in our MGTOW.TVCopyright Center, where you can also find information about how to resolve a copyright strike. MGTOW.TV's policies provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers’ access to the Service.
Account Suspension & Termination
Terminations by You
You may stop using the Service at any time. Follow these instructions to delete the Service from your Account, which involves closing your MGTOW.TV channel and removing your data. You also have the option to download a copy of your data first.
Terminations and Suspensions by MGTOW.TV for Cause
MGTOW.TV may suspend or terminate your access, your MGTOW.TV account, or your MGTOW.TV account’s access to all or part of the Service if (a) you materially or repeatedly breach this Agreement; (b) we are required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; or (c) we believe there has been conduct that creates (or could create) liability or harm to any user, other third party, MGTOW.TV or our Affiliates.
Terminations by MGTOW.TV for Service Changes
MGTOW.TV may terminate your access, or your account’s access to all or part of the Service if MGTOW.TV believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.
Notice for Termination or Suspension
We will notify you with the reason for termination or suspension by MGTOW.TV unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority, or would otherwise risk legal liability for MGTOW.TV or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, MGTOW.TV or our Affiliates. Where MGTOW.TV is terminating your access for Service changes, where reasonably possible, you will be provided with sufficient time to export your Content from the Service.
Effect of Account Suspension or Termination
If your MGTOW.TV account is terminated or your MGTOW.TV account’s access to the Service is restricted, you may continue using certain aspects of the Service (such as viewing only) without an account, and this Agreement will continue to apply to such use. If you believe your MGTOW.TV account has been terminated in error, you can appeal using this either the live chat request OR contact us form bottom of this page.
About Software in the Service
Downloadable Software
When the Service requires or includes downloadable software (such as the MGTOW.TV Studio application), you give permission for that software to update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available, subject to your device settings. Unless that software is governed by additional terms which provide a license, MGTOW.TV gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided to you by MGTOW.TV as part of the Service. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Service as provided by MGTOW.TV, in the manner permitted by this Agreement. You are not allowed to copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the software, or to reverse-engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, unless laws prohibit these restrictions or you have MGTOW.TV’s written permission.
Open Source
Some software used in our Service may be offered under an open source license that we make available to you. There may be provisions in an open source license that expressly override some of these terms, so please be sure to read those licenses.
