MovieBay Terms of Service

MovieBay is a movie and television discovery and streaming platform operated by Shelv Labs. These terms are public and can be read without creating an account or signing in.

Last updated: August 31, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

By accessing the MovieBay website, Android application, account features, or related services (together, the 'Service'), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What MovieBay provides

MovieBay helps users discover movies and television programmes, view information about them, maintain a watchlist and viewing progress, and access available playback options. Features, catalogues, availability, languages, and playback sources may change by device, location, time, or rights availability.

3. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your country, to create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current account information.
  • Keep your sign-in credentials secure and notify us of suspected unauthorized access.
  • Use only accounts you are authorized to use.
  • Accept responsibility for activity performed through your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

4. Permission to use the Service

Subject to these terms, Shelv Labs grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable permission to use MovieBay for lawful, non-commercial entertainment purposes. MovieBay's software, design, brand, logos, and original features remain the property of Shelv Labs or its licensors. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • Break any law or violate another person's rights while using MovieBay.
  • Copy, scrape, bulk-download, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its catalogue without written permission.
  • Bypass access controls, security protections, playback restrictions, rate limits, or geographic restrictions.
  • Introduce malware, overload our systems, probe for vulnerabilities, or interfere with other users.
  • Impersonate another person, misuse an account, or submit false or abusive reports.

6. Content, metadata, and third-party services

Some titles, images, descriptions, playback sources, sign-in services, notifications, or links may be supplied or operated by third parties. Their availability and terms are outside our control. MovieBay uses TMDB metadata and images but is not endorsed, certified, or approved by TMDB. You are responsible for using content lawfully in your location. If you follow an external link, the third party's terms and privacy policy apply.

7. Copyright and rights complaints

We respect intellectual-property rights. If you believe material accessible through MovieBay infringes your rights, email support@s-u.in with enough information for us to identify the material, the basis of your claim, your contact details, and a statement that the information supplied is accurate.

We may remove or restrict access to material while reviewing a complaint and may take action against repeat or serious violations.

8. Notifications and communications

If you enable notifications, MovieBay may send service updates, account messages, and new-content or promotional alerts to your browser or Android device. You can disable optional notifications in MovieBay settings or your browser or device settings. Essential account or legal communications may still be sent where permitted.

9. Availability and disclaimers

The Service is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, that every title will remain available, that every external source will work, or that all information will be error-free. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages, network conditions, rights changes, or security events may affect availability.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Shelv Labs and its personnel will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of data, loss of profits, or losses caused by third-party services arising from your use of MovieBay. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Suspension, termination, and account deletion

You may stop using MovieBay at any time and may request account deletion through account settings or support@s-u.in. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service or users, investigate abuse, comply with law, or address a serious or repeated breach of these terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Uganda, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer laws in your location apply. Before starting a formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when MovieBay, our providers, or applicable requirements change. We will post the revised terms here and update the date above. Where reasonably required, we will provide additional notice of material changes. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised terms.
