1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms & Conditions and End-User License Agreement (together, the "Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and PHIPTV ("we," "us," "our," or the "Publisher") governing your download, installation, and use of the PHIPTV application and any related software, updates, and services (collectively, the "App").

By creating an account, tapping "I agree," installing the App, or otherwise accessing or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy (available at https://phiptv.com [CONFIRM]). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (or have verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian) to create an account or purchase a subscription. The App is a general-purpose media player and is not directed to children; however, it provides per-profile Kids Mode and parental PIN controls that an adult account holder may configure (see Section 8). You are responsible for ensuring your use of the App complies with all laws applicable to you.

3. License Grant

Subject to your continuous compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use only.

3.1 Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

3.2 Ownership

The App, including all software, design, trademarks, and other intellectual property in the player itself, is owned by PHIPTV or its licensors and is protected by law. These Terms grant you a license, not a sale, of the App. For clarity, this license covers the player software only — it does not grant you any rights in any media, channel, stream, or playlist you choose to access through the App.

4. What PHIPTV Is — and Is Not (BYO-Content Model)

PHIPTV is a neutral media player. It is "bring your own content."

The App does not include, bundle, host, supply, curate, index, sell, or provide any television channels, video-on-demand titles, live streams, playlists, or other media content. The App ships empty. All content you access through the App comes exclusively from sources you supply yourself, such as:

that you enter, paste, import, or pair to the App. The App is a general-purpose tool comparable to a web browser or a video player: it retrieves and plays whatever stream address you point it to.

Accordingly, you acknowledge and agree that:

The App's subscription tiers (see Section 9) unlock software features only — such as the number of playlists, simultaneous device count, multi-view screens, EPG quality, and removal of ads — and never unlock, provide, or grant access to any media content.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree that you will not use the App to:

You are solely responsible for the sources you add and the content you access. We reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to suspend or terminate access for any User we reasonably believe is violating this policy. If you are unsure whether a stream or source is lawful in your jurisdiction, do not add it.

6. Copyright, DMCA & Repeat-Infringer Policy

6.1 We Host No Content

PHIPTV respects intellectual-property rights and expects Users to do the same. As described in Section 4, the App is a player only: we do not host, store, cache (other than transient local device caching controlled by the User), transmit from our servers, or control any media content. All content originates from third-party sources that Users supply. Because we do not host the allegedly infringing material, there is typically nothing on our systems for us to remove in response to a takedown notice.

6.2 Notice of Alleged Infringement

If you believe that the App software itself infringes your copyright, or that we are otherwise hosting infringing material, you may send a written notice to our designated agent. To be effective under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), your notice must include:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the rights owner or authorized agent;
  2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it;
  4. your contact information (name, address, telephone, email);
  5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Designated Copyright / DMCA Agent:

PHIPTV — Copyright Agent

Email: [CONFIRM DMCA agent email]

Address: [CONFIRM postal address]

Note: If your complaint concerns an unauthorized stream you encountered, the correct recipient is the operator of the IPTV/stream source or its hosting provider, not PHIPTV — we neither host nor control that content and generally cannot disable it.

6.3 Counter-Notification

If material you provided was removed or disabled and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the agent above including: your signature; identification of the material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if outside the U.S., for any jurisdiction where we may be found), and acceptance of service from the complaining party.

6.4 Repeat Infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate the accounts of Users who are repeat infringers. Because the App does not host content and a User's infringing activity generally occurs on third-party sources outside our systems, our practical ability to detect or remedy infringement is inherently limited to actions such as terminating an offending User's account or license.

7. Accounts, Profiles & Device Limits

7.1 Accounts

You may use the App with a registered account or, where offered, in a limited trial/guest mode. Account creation and sign-in are provided through Firebase Authentication and may use email/password, Google Sign-In, or a Google device-pairing flow (QR code) for TV devices that lack a standard sign-in screen. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

7.2 Profiles & Cloud Sync

Registered accounts may create multiple profiles (including Kids profiles). To provide cross-device continuity, the App synchronizes certain data — including your playlists, profiles, favorites, watch history, search history, and parental-control settings — to Cloud Firestore, using your local on-device database as the source of truth and last-write-wins conflict resolution. Trial/guest users without an account do not sync. See our Privacy Policy for full details on what is collected and how it is used.

7.3 Device Limits

Access is limited by the number of registered devices tied to your account:

PlanRegistered / simultaneous devices
Free / Trial1 device
Premium (Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime)Up to 5 devices

To enforce these limits and prevent abuse, the App registers each device with a hardware identifier and related device metadata (see Privacy Policy). You agree not to circumvent device limits. We may adjust device limits prospectively; material changes will be communicated as described in Section 17.

8. Parental Controls & Kids Profiles

The App offers optional parental controls that an adult account holder may enable, including: marking a profile as a Kids profile; setting a numeric PIN (typically 4–6 digits); choosing a restriction mode (block-all or allow-all); per-profile content rules for channels, VOD, and series; daily watch-time limits; and a bedtime window.

These controls are tools provided "as is" to assist you — they are not a guarantee. Because the App is a neutral player with no automated content rating or filtering of user-supplied sources, the effectiveness of parental controls depends entirely on how you configure them and on the sources you add. You are solely responsible for supervising minors' use, for setting and safeguarding the PIN, and for the content available to any profile. Do not rely on the App as the sole means of protecting a child from inappropriate content.

9. Subscriptions, Trials & Billing

9.1 Feature Tiers

The App is offered on a freemium basis. A free tier provides limited functionality. Optional paid subscriptions (collectively, "Premium") unlock additional software features — for example, unlimited playlists, up to 5 devices, full EPG, multi-view (up to 4 screens), expanded VOD organization, and watch-history sync. As stated in Section 4, Premium unlocks features only and never provides media content.

Current plans [CONFIRM all pricing in the live store listing — prices vary by region, currency, and tax]:

PlanPrice [CONFIRM]Notes
Monthly$4.99 / monthMay include an introductory free trial
Yearly$29.99 / year"Best value"
Lifetime$49.99 one-timeNon-recurring

9.2 Free Trial

We may offer a free trial. Trial length is stated in the store listing and in the App at the time of sign-up; that stated length controls [CONFIRM the exact trial length and resolve any inconsistency between the in-app "7-day" message and the internally configured trial period before publishing]. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the trial may convert to a paid, auto-renewing subscription at the then-current price. Only one trial may be available per user/household/payment account, subject to platform rules. Unused trial time is forfeited when you upgrade to a paid plan.

9.3 Billing Is Processed by the App Store / Google Play

All purchases and subscriptions are sold and processed through the platform store on which you obtained the App — the Apple App Store (Apple In-App Purchase) or Google Play (Google Play Billing), managed for us via RevenueCat. We do not collect or process your payment-card details, and we do not use any external or third-party payment processor for in-app purchases.

9.4 Cancellation

You may cancel at any time through your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not retroactively refund the current period. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

9.5 Refunds

Refunds are handled exclusively by the platform store (Apple or Google) under their respective policies. We do not directly process refunds for in-app purchases. Please contact Apple or Google for refund requests. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial periods, unused features, or content unavailability (recall that content is supplied by third parties, not by us).

9.6 Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing or plan features prospectively. For auto-renewing subscriptions, any price increase will be handled in accordance with the applicable store's rules, which generally require notice and, in many cases, your affirmative consent before the increase takes effect.

10. Auto-Renewing Subscription Disclosure

The following disclosure applies to auto-renewing subscriptions and is provided to satisfy Apple App Store requirements. Confirm all values against your live store listing before publishing.

11. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services to function, including Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore (Google), Google Sign-In, RevenueCat with Apple/Google billing, Google Fonts, and media-playback components (media_kit / mpv). It also connects, at your direction, to the IPTV/Xtream servers and EPG providers you configure. Your use of these services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services or for content delivered by sources you add. See our Privacy Policy for the data each integration involves.

12. Termination

These Terms apply until terminated. You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. We may suspend or terminate your license, account, or access — with or without notice — if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms (including the Acceptable Use Policy or copyright policy), if required by law, or if continuing to provide the App becomes impractical.

Upon termination, your license under Section 3 ends and you must cease using and delete the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — survive. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by the platform store or applicable law.

13. Disclaimers of Warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND SOURCES. Because the App plays only content you supply from your sources, we do not warrant that any stream, playlist, channel, or VOD title will be available, lawful, accurate, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that the App will be compatible with every device, network, or source. You use the App and access third-party content at your own risk and on your own legal responsibility.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some exclusions may not apply to you; in that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum scope permitted by law.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

IN NO EVENT WILL PHIPTV, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR REVENUE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE APP OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, OR LEGAL CONSEQUENCE ARISING FROM CONTENT OR SOURCES YOU ADD OR ACCESS, INCLUDING ANY ALLEGED COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR UNLAWFUL STREAMING, WHICH ARE YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud).

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PHIPTV and its affiliates, officers, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) the content, playlists, or sources you add or access, including any copyright-infringement or unlawful-streaming claim; (c) your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy; or (d) your violation of any law or any third-party right. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.

16. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION — e.g., your state/country], without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [VENUE], except where applicable consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts. [CONFIRM whether you wish to add an arbitration clause and/or class-action waiver — these have specific drafting and enforceability requirements that vary by jurisdiction and must be reviewed by counsel.]

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using the App.

18. Apple & Google Platform Terms

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge:

If you obtained the App from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App.
