1. Agreement and current operator

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Boundless Friends Corp (“Boundless,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They apply to Pulp Time, Video Archives, and every related website, player, account, membership, communication, and service that links to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).

Current operating structure

Boundless is currently the contracting party and operator of record for the Services. The Services are developed and operated in collaboration with General Cinema Dynamics LLC (“GCD”), which may provide technology, content, production, and operational support. If operation or ownership of the Services is transferred to GCD or another successor, we will update these Terms and provide notice as required by law.

By accessing or using the Services, requesting a sign-in link, creating an account, starting playback, or purchasing a membership, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you. You must be legally capable of entering into this agreement, and only an adult may purchase a paid membership.

The Services are offered for personal use in locations where they may lawfully be provided. Availability, catalog titles, playback quality, and membership options may vary by location, device, rights availability, and technical conditions.

You must be at least 18 years old to join a recorded watch party, contribute to a watch-party recording, or approve a commentary track for publication. We may require age or identity verification before enabling those features.

3. Accounts and account security

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your email account secure, and promptly notify us if you suspect unauthorized access. Our passwordless sign-in links are personal to you; do not forward or share them. You are responsible for activity through your account except to the extent it results from our breach of these Terms or failure to use reasonable security.

Accounts and memberships are for one household’s personal, noncommercial use unless we expressly agree otherwise. You may not sell, transfer, rent, or commercially share account access. We may require you to reauthenticate, verify account information, or take reasonable security steps before providing access or handling a sensitive request.

You may use a screen name rather than your legal name for your community display name and handle. Your chosen identity and avatar must not impersonate another person or organization, falsely imply endorsement or an official role, infringe another person’s rights, or mislead others in a harmful way. We may reserve, rename, or remove handles and profile material when reasonably necessary to protect the Services, our brands, or other people.

4. The Services and changes to them

The Services provide a curated streaming archive, editorial features, previews, account history, preferences, feedback tools, synchronized watch parties, live voice chat, optional commentary recordings, and free or paid viewing entitlements. We may add, remove, replace, restrict, or modify titles, features, technical requirements, free-access limits, membership plans, and supported devices. We do not guarantee that a particular title, recording, or version will remain available.

We may perform maintenance or suspend all or part of the Services for security, legal, rights-clearance, operational, or technical reasons. Where reasonably practical, we will try to give advance notice of material changes that negatively affect an active paid membership.

5. Memberships, automatic renewal, and billing

Free access

We may offer previews, monthly movie unlocks, trials, promotional access, or other free entitlements. These offers may have eligibility, title, timing, or usage limits and may be changed or discontinued. Unless an offer expressly says otherwise, unused free entitlements do not roll over, have no cash value, and may not be transferred.

Automatic renewal authorization

Paid memberships renew automatically

If you start a monthly paid membership, you authorize Stripe, on our behalf, to charge the payment method associated with your Stripe billing profile at the price and frequency shown at checkout, plus applicable taxes, every month until you cancel. Your membership continues until canceled.

Prices, payment, and failed charges

  • The price, billing frequency, and material offer terms are shown before you subscribe.
  • Stripe processes payment details. We do not receive or store your full payment-card number.
  • You authorize us and Stripe to retry failed charges and update payment information through lawful card-network services.
  • We may suspend paid access after a failed or reversed payment.
  • We may change future membership prices after reasonable advance notice. A new price applies no earlier than your next renewal after the effective date stated in that notice, subject to applicable law.

Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel online at any time from Membership & billing by selecting “Manage billing” and completing cancellation in the Stripe customer portal. Cancel before your next renewal date to avoid the next charge. Unless stated otherwise at checkout, access continues through the end of the paid billing period.

Payments are generally nonrefundable and we do not provide prorated refunds or credits for a partially used billing period, except where required by law or expressly stated in an offer. If we discontinue a paid plan before the end of a prepaid period, we will provide continued access, a substitute benefit, or a prorated refund as appropriate and required by law.

6. Limited license and acceptable use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to access and stream the Services for private, noncommercial viewing. No ownership right is transferred to you.

You may not, or help anyone else to:

  • copy, download, rebroadcast, publicly perform, sell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute Service content except where we expressly enable it or the law independently permits it;
  • circumvent previews, membership limits, geographic controls, authentication, playback tokens, access controls, or other security measures;
  • scrape, crawl, harvest, index, or use automated means to access the Services without our written permission, other than standard public search-engine indexing;
  • reverse engineer, interfere with, overload, probe, or attempt unauthorized access to the Services or another user’s account;
  • record, intercept, rebroadcast, or disclose another person’s voice, chat, image, or watch-party activity except through a Service feature that clearly authorizes the activity and after obtaining every consent required by law;
  • use the Services to violate law, infringe rights, distribute malware, commit fraud, or engage in harassment or abuse; or
  • use our branding, curation, metadata, editorial material, software, or content to train, benchmark, or operate a commercial model or competing archive without our written permission, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to do so.

7. Content, public-domain works, and DMCA notices

Some underlying motion pictures or other source works available through the Services may be identified as public domain or used under a license. That status does not mean every element presented through the Services is free of rights. The Services’ software, branding, logos, design, curation, metadata, artwork, subtitles, restorations, encodes, introductions, podcast material, editorial features, and other added elements may be protected by copyright, trademark, contract, or other law and may be owned by Boundless, GCD, or their licensors.

Catalog and rights information is provided for curation and viewing purposes, not as legal advice or as a representation that you may copy, distribute, publicly perform, or commercially exploit a work. Rights can differ by country and by version. If you believe material is incorrectly identified or have a rights concern that is not a copyright takedown request, use the . We may remove or restrict material while we review a rights concern.

DMCA takedown notices

A copyright owner or authorized representative may use our to identify material that should be removed or disabled. A complete notice should include:

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner;
  • identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list of works covered by the notice;
  • identification and exact location of the material claimed to be infringing;
  • contact information reasonably sufficient to reach the complaining party, including an address and telephone number;
  • a statement of good-faith belief that the complained-of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.

We may share a notice with the person responsible for the material and may remove or disable access while we investigate. Knowingly materially misrepresenting that material is infringing may create liability.

8. Watch parties, recordings, and commentary tracks

Live participation and recording consent

A watch party may synchronize a movie for multiple participants and provide live voice, chat, reaction, or similar social features. A watch party is not recorded unless the Service identifies it as recorded. Before we capture a participant’s voice or other contribution, the Service will provide a recording notice and require that participant’s affirmative consent. A host cannot consent on behalf of another participant.

If recording begins or materially changes after a participant joins, that participant must be notified and given a reasonable opportunity to consent, mute, or leave before capture continues. Recording indicators and room controls are informational safeguards, not a guarantee that another participant will not independently copy, disclose, or misuse something said in a room.

Private watch-party recordings

You retain ownership of any copyright or other rights you hold in your original voice commentary, chat, review, reaction, or other contribution. By joining a recorded watch party, you grant Boundless and GCD a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free license to capture, encode, reproduce, synchronize with playback, store, transmit, moderate, and make your contribution available to the host and participants authorized by the room settings. This license is limited to operating, securing, supporting, and providing the private watch party and its authorized replay, subject to backup, dispute, safety, and legal-retention needs.

We will not publish or commercially monetize a private recording as a public commentary track based solely on your participation in the private watch party. Where the Service offers an export, authorized users may download an available copy of the commentary recording for personal, noncommercial use. An export does not include or grant rights to download the underlying movie, does not expand your rights in another participant’s contribution, and is not guaranteed to remain available indefinitely.

Published commentary tracks

A private recording becomes a published commentary track only after every recorded participant completes the separate publication approval presented by the Service. By approving publication, you retain ownership of your original contribution but grant Boundless and GCD an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license for the commercial distribution and exploitation of that contribution as part of or in connection with the commentary track.

That exclusive license includes the rights to record, reproduce, edit, adapt, arrange, synchronize, transcribe, caption, translate, excerpt, combine, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, communicate, advertise, promote, and monetize the contribution in any media or format now known or later developed. To the extent this grant includes an exclusive copyright right, you agree that it is a transfer of that right, and the separate publication approval may serve as your electronic signature for the identified recording. You reserve a personal, noncommercial right to access, play, and download your contribution where the Service makes those functions available.

You also authorize Boundless and GCD to use your approved name, username, voice, likeness, and biographical information to identify, distribute, advertise, and promote the commentary track. To the extent permitted by law, you waive or agree not to assert moral rights or similar rights that would prevent the uses granted in this section. Unless a separate written agreement says otherwise, no compensation, royalty, credit, inspection right, or approval right is owed for an approved commentary track.

Between you and us, Boundless and GCD retain all rights in the Services and in the production elements they create, including recording masters, edits, synchronization data, captions, branding, artwork, and the selection and arrangement of a commentary track. Those rights do not replace your ownership of your underlying contribution except for the exclusive rights you grant above.

Featured and commissioned sessions

A featured guest, host, performer, or other commissioned contributor may be asked to sign a separate contributor agreement covering work-made-for-hire treatment, assignment, compensation, credit, approvals, publicity rights, or other production terms. If that agreement conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement controls for that session.

Participant responsibilities and moderation

You may contribute only material you have the right to provide. You may not use a watch party to infringe copyright or privacy rights; disclose another person’s confidential or personal information; impersonate, defame, threaten, harass, or abuse anyone; add unlicensed music or other protected material; or create an unlawful recording. We may mute, restrict, remove, preserve, or review content and recordings as reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, protect participants, respond to reports, or comply with law. We do not undertake to monitor every live or recorded session.

9. Feedback, reviews, and other submissions

If you submit feedback, a review, rating, comment, bug report, feature idea, movie request, caption, or other submission outside a watch-party recording, you keep ownership of any rights you already hold in it. You grant Boundless and GCD a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, distribute, display, perform, promote, and otherwise exploit that submission to operate, improve, promote, and develop the Services, without an obligation to pay or credit you or treat the submission as confidential. Do not submit material you do not have the right to provide.

10. Third-party services and links

The Services rely on or link to third parties, including payment processors, authentication and hosting providers, video delivery platforms, and embedded media services. Your use of a third party’s site or service may be governed by its own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party content, products, availability, or conduct, but this does not limit responsibility we cannot lawfully exclude for providers acting on our behalf.

11. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. Canceling a paid membership stops future renewals but does not by itself delete your account. A signed-in user may permanently delete an account from Settings. If you cannot access the account, use the privacy-request process in our Privacy Policy.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create a security or legal risk, fail to pay, infringe rights, misuse the Services, or if we discontinue the Services. When appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, commentary-track licenses and releases, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, and general legal terms—will survive, subject to non-waivable law.

12. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” BOUNDLESS, GCD, AND THEIR LICENSORS DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

We do not warrant that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or compatible with every device; that playback will occur at a particular resolution; that catalog or rights information is complete; or that every defect will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable consumer guarantees.

13. Limitation of liability and indemnity

Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOUNDLESS, GCD, AND THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, their total aggregate liability for all claims arising from or related to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Services during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) US $100. These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence where applicable.

Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Boundless, GCD, and their personnel from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your material breach of these Terms, or content you submit. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from their own unlawful conduct, negligence, or breach.

14. Changes, transfer, and general legal terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Services, operator, law, or business practices. The date at the top shows when the current Terms took effect. If a change materially reduces your rights or adds material obligations, we will provide reasonable advance notice through the Services, by email, or another appropriate channel. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not accept them, stop using the Services and cancel any membership before the change takes effect.

Boundless may assign these Terms or transfer operation of the Services as part of a financing, reorganization, merger, asset transfer, or similar transaction, including a transfer to GCD. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. Any successor remains responsible for obligations that apply to it under these Terms and law.

These Terms and any offer-specific terms are the entire agreement about the Services. If an offer-specific term conflicts with these Terms, the offer-specific term controls only for that offer. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum lawful extent and the rest remains effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Section headings are for convenience only. These Terms do not limit rights you cannot waive under applicable law.

Before filing a formal claim, please use the with a description of the issue and the relief requested so the parties can try to resolve it informally. This informal process does not prevent either party from seeking urgent relief or pursuing a claim before a limitations period expires.
