Terms and Conditions

Last updated: August 23, 2021

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to EIGHT!

These terms and conditions outline the rules and regulations for the use of EIGHT’s application and web portal (“App/ Application”), on all web browsers across devices and Android and iOS mobile devices, located on the app stores including but not limited to Google Playstore and Apple App Store.

The following terminology applies to these Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy and all other agreements found on Our App and Web Portal: “User”, “Visitor”, “You” and “Your” refers to You, the person logging on this Application, the User of the Services, and compliant to the Company’s terms and conditions. “The Company”, “Ourselves”, “We”, “Our(s)” and “Us”, refers to Our Company i.e. Eight Network Creations Private Limited. “Party”, or “Parties” refers to both the User and Us.

Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, capitalization, and/or he/she or they, are taken as interchangeable and therefore as referring to same. The present Terms, which shall form a binding agreement upon the Users, are produced in the English language. The present Terms in English, i.e. the original language, shall take precedence over any translation of the present Terms along with all other policies and resources provided herewith.

You are reading the Terms of Service (the “Terms”), which govern the relationship and serve as an agreement between You and Us and set forth the terms and conditions by which You may access and use the App and our services, products, and content (collectively, the “Services”). Access to certain Services or features of the Services (such as, by way of example and not limitation, the ability to submit or share User Content (defined below)) may be subject to age restrictions and may not be available to all Users of the Services. Our Services are provided for private, non-commercial use.  Any and all resulting content by the Users shall be royalty-free in nature.

You also acknowledge and understand that the present Terms along with all Policies and resources, form an agreement between You and Us only in relation to Your use of Our Services. However, you also understand and accept that this agreement in no way, either implicitly or explicitly, creates any joint venture, partnership, employment, agency relationship, or any other commercial-business relationship of any manner whatsoever between You and Us.

The present Terms and Conditions form a legally binding agreement between You and Us. It is hereby strongly advised that You read the present document carefully, as continuing to use our services would entail an unequivocal consent of all the terms mentioned herewith. If You are under the age of 18 (Eighteen),  it shall be construed that You are using the services with the express consent of Your parent or legal guardian. Although the platform shall be available to the public at large, an age restriction of 13 (thirteen) years for the Users has been mandated to promote healthy and sound content consumption. This means that no person under the age of 13 shall be allowed to use the services related to Our Web Portal or App. For persons in the age group of 13-18 (thirteen to eighteen), it is recommended and mandated that Your parent or legal guardian review and discussed these Terms with You. However, if by virtue of Your local law, You are necessitated and required to be of a certain age, that is above 13 (thirteen) years to use any such services as offered by Our Web Portal or App, then such law shall take precedence over this clause and any usage of Our services not in consonance with the local laws would only form a liability upon such person going against the local law and no liability would fall upon Us. By accessing the App or Web Portal, You accept these Terms and Conditions. Discontinue the use of this App or Web Portal if at any point You do not agree to or accept all of the present Terms and Conditions which are subject to amendment from time to time.

Reported Accounts/Users

Once a User Account is reported to Us, We shall temporarily suspend the Account until the matter is assessed and resolved and the User is made to give his/her statement with respect to the same which shall be recorded for any future claims or references.

A specific scale has been assigned to such reporting methods for assessing the period of suspension and the degree of seriousness required to deal with it. The following are mere examples to help the User realize the degree of action that may be taken against them in case their account is ever reported:

I. Default Suspension

A 24-hour suspension will happen by default on all accounts that are reported. The account can be reactivated by a plain acknowledgment by the User of the claims/complaint made against their account. An acknowledgment would mean acceptance of the claim and an unequivocal statement to not perpetuate the activities that invoked such claim/complaint. Such acceptance would also attach a “Strike” to the User’s account and after one (1) to three (3) strikes received on an account, depending upon the seriousness of the matter, the account shall be permanently deleted at Our sole discretion. However, if the User does not acknowledge and accept the reason for the reporting, the User will have to submit a counterclaim or a show cause notice which shall be assessed by Us, and the account may then be reactivated or be given a strike with or without increased suspension at Our sole discretion.

II. Three Strike Offences

Any User found to do or propagate the following shall have their Account deleted after three strikes-

  • Streaming misleading content.
  • Spamming.
  • False advertising or disclosing locations for fraudulent purposes.
  • Using abusive language.
  • Making false and/or defamatory statements about another Users.
  • Infringement of copyright.

III. One Strike Offences:

Any User found to do or propagate the following shall have their Account deleted after the first instance of such reporting, however an option of providing a show cause shall be afforded upon such User to make a case for keeping the account active:

  • Streaming of any unwarranted sexual content.
  • Streaming content enticing violence and repulsive content.
  • Hate speech against any segment of the society.
  • Targeted harassment and/or bullying of another User or any third-party.
