Terms of Use

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

These terms govern the use of the KinoPlayer application and of the website kinoplayer.app (together, the "Service") and every purchase of an activation made through the website or the Telegram bot. The provider and, for purchases made here, your contracting party is MintFolder AI UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Sudetenstraße 18, 35039 Marburg, Germany, registered at Amtsgericht Marburg under HRB 8986, represented by its managing director Thaeer Sukay ("we"). Full details are in the imprint.

If you buy an activation from an independent reseller, that reseller is your contracting party for the purchase and its own terms apply to it; these terms still govern the use of the software. These terms exist in English, German and Arabic; if the versions differ, the German version prevails.

By installing the application or using the website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

2. What KinoPlayer is

KinoPlayer is a media player. It plays sources that you supply yourself. It is not a television service, a streaming service, an aggregator or a content library. We provide no channels, no playlists, no subscriptions to any provider and no films, series, programmes or recordings of any kind.

We do not sell, resell, bundle, recommend, host or proxy any content. No video or audio passes through our systems. Where a provider allows it, the service fetches and caches the list of channel and title names that provider exposes to your account, so your television starts quickly; that listing is yours, is deleted with your playlist and is never shared. Your device connects to your provider directly. What you pay for, if you choose to pay, is the software, never access to anything to watch.

3. Your sources are your responsibility

You alone choose what to load into the player. By adding a source you confirm that you hold a valid subscription or licence for it or that it is lawfully free to view; that you are entitled to access it in the place where you are; and that doing so infringes nobody's copyright, neighbouring rights or other rights. We have no way of checking what a source contains and we make no attempt to. Responsibility for that choice rests entirely with you.

4. What you may not do

• Use the Service to access material you have no right to access.
• Redistribute, publish or share playlists or credentials that you are not entitled to share.
• Resell, sublicense or commercially redistribute the application or an activation, except as an authorised reseller under the reseller terms.
• Circumvent technical protection measures, reverse-engineer the application except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded, or interfere with the operation of the Service.
• Use the Service in any way that is unlawful where you are.

We may suspend or terminate an activation that is used in breach of this section after giving you notice, or without notice where the breach is serious.

5. Free trial, activation and licence

Every new device runs for seven days at no cost. There is nothing to cancel: if you do not activate, the trial simply ends and the application stops playing.

Each device is identified by a device identifier and a device key generated on the device itself. An activation is granted to one device and is not transferable between devices; if your hardware fails, write to us and we will look at it case by case.

For the period of the activation you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the application on the activated device. No rights are granted beyond that. The application may update itself to keep working; an update never reduces what a paid activation offers.

6. How a contract is concluded

The price list on the activation page and in the bot is an invitation to order, not a binding offer. You place a binding order by pressing the button marked as an order with an obligation to pay, after selecting a plan, accepting these terms and, if you want the activation at once, asking for immediate performance. The contract is concluded when we accept the order by showing you the payment details (address and amount); we confirm it on the same page, in the bot and, where you gave us an address, by e-mail or Telegram message.

The text of the contract is these terms, the withdrawal notice and your order record, which you can see on the activation page under "Activation history" for as long as the device exists. The contract may be concluded in English, German or Arabic.

7. Prices and payment

Prices are shown in euro and include the German value-added tax of 19 %. There is no automatic renewal: an activation ends at the end of its period unless you buy another one. A plan adds its period on top of any time the device still holds, so renewing early costs no days. Prices may change; an order keeps the price it was placed at.

Payment is made in the stablecoin USDT on the Polygon (PoS) network, at a fixed USDT amount shown next to the euro price. When you place an order you are shown a receiving address and an exact amount, valid for thirty minutes. Send exactly that amount, on that network, in that token: the amount is what links your payment to your order.

• Blockchain transfers cannot be reversed. Funds sent on any other network, in any other token or to any other address are lost and cannot be recovered by us or by anybody else.
• If less than the amount due arrives, nothing is activated; write to us and we will settle it by hand. If more arrives, the plan is activated and the surplus is returned on request.
• A payment that arrives after the order has expired is held for manual review; write to us with the transaction hash.
• Activation is automatic once the transfer has enough confirmations on the network, normally within a few minutes.

8. Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer you have a statutory right to withdraw from the purchase within fourteen days. The full notice and the model form are on the right of withdrawal page. Because an activation is digital content, that right expires when we start the activation after you have expressly asked for it and acknowledged the loss of the right; that request is the second box on the activation page and the order button in the bot. If you do not make that request, we activate the device after the fourteen days have passed.

Beyond the right of withdrawal, an activation that has been granted is not refunded, except where these terms or the law say otherwise.

9. Resellers

An activation may also be bought from an independent reseller. The reseller acts in its own name and on its own account: it sets its own prices, is your contracting party for the purchase and is responsible for its own information duties, including your right of withdrawal towards it. We grant the activation to the device on the reseller's instruction and remain the licensor of the software. A reseller is not entitled to make promises on our behalf, and in particular cannot promise any content.

10. Availability and changes to the Service

The Service is provided as it is and as it is available. We do not promise uninterrupted operation. Maintenance, network faults, changes by your provider or the end of a provider's service may make playback unavailable, and none of those are within our control.

We may change or discontinue features for good reason, for example to comply with the law, to protect security or to adapt to changed technology. Where a change materially reduces what a paid activation offers, we will tell you on this site and in the application at least thirty days in advance; you may then end the activation and we will refund the unused part of the period in proportion.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act and for any guarantee we have given.

For slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of an essential contractual duty, that is a duty whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible at all and on whose fulfilment you may regularly rely; in that case our liability is limited to the damage that is foreseeable and typical for this kind of contract. Any further liability is excluded.

We are not liable for content you access through your own sources, for the availability or lawfulness of your provider, or for loss of data that you could have prevented by reasonable backups.

12. Reports from rights holders

We host no content, so there is nothing on our systems to take down. If you believe the Service is being used in a way that infringes your rights, write to abuse@kinoplayer.app with a description of the right you hold, the basis of your claim and enough detail to identify the matter. Reports are reviewed and, where a specific device is identified and the report is substantiated, its activation may be suspended.

13. Ending the agreement

You may stop using the Service at any time by unpairing your device, deleting it from Settings or uninstalling the application. We may end the agreement for cause if these terms are breached. Ending it does not entitle you to a refund of a period already used, except as set out in sections 8 and 10.

14. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms for good reason, for example when the law or our Service changes, and never to change the price or the period of an activation you have already bought. We will announce a change at least thirty days before it takes effect on this page, in the application and, where we have an address, by e-mail or Telegram message, and we will say what changes. If you do not object before the change takes effect, the new terms apply; if you object, you may end the agreement and the old terms apply until then. The notice will say this again.

15. Governing law, place of jurisdiction, language

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection granted by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you habitually reside. If you are a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is Marburg.

16. Dispute resolution

We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (§ 36 VSBG).

17. If part of this is unenforceable

If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force. In place of the unenforceable provision the statutory rules apply.
