3. Content Ownership and Licenses

3.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you upload, post, stream, or transmit through our Services ("Your Content"). By uploading Your Content, you grant Dcast a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, and display Your Content in connection with the Services, subject to our Privacy Policy.

3.2 Content Responsibility

You are the author and publisher of Your Content and are solely responsible for it. Dcast acts only as a neutral technology platform, hosting provider, and payment-facilitation intermediary; Dcast does not create, author, pre-screen, endorse, or adopt user content, and is not the publisher or seller of Your Content.

You represent and warrant that you own, or have obtained all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to, all of Your Content, and that Your Content — together with its upload, sale, streaming, or distribution through the Services — does not and will not infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, right of publicity or privacy, or any other right of any third party, nor violate any applicable law or the acceptable use policy of any payment processor used in connection with it. You may not upload, sell, or distribute any content owned by another person unless you have that person's express permission. As between you and Dcast, you bear sole responsibility and liability for Your Content, and you agree to indemnify Dcast against any claim arising from it (see Section 9).

3.3 Content Moderation

Dcast reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to review, modify, restrict, or remove any content that violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines, or that any payment processor or law requires us to remove, at any time and without prior notice.

3.4 Copyright Complaints and DMCA Notice-and-Takedown

Dcast respects intellectual property rights and responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent laws of other jurisdictions.

If you believe content on the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, send a written notice to our designated agent at [email protected] that includes: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (such as the URL); (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, Dcast will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material. The affected creator may submit a counter-notice as permitted by the DMCA. Dcast maintains and enforces a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of creators who are repeat infringers.

3.5 Reporting and Trust & Safety

You can report content or conduct that may violate these Terms or our Community Guidelines — including illegal content, sexual or adult content, harassment, or copyright infringement — by emailing [email protected] or using our contact form, with a link and a description sufficient to locate it.

Dcast acts on a notice-and-response basis. Dcast reserves the right, but assumes no obligation, to monitor, pre-screen, or proactively review content, and does not conduct automated surveillance of private lessons, video calls, or private messages. Upon a credible report or notice, Dcast may remove content and warn, suspend, or terminate the responsible account. Nothing in these Terms makes Dcast the author or publisher of, or otherwise responsible for, content created by users.

4. Personal Site Customization (Subdomain/Custom Domain)

(d) Not use prohibited or reserved subdomain names (as defined in our system);

(e) Maintain appropriate content standards as outlined in our Community Guidelines;

(f) Accept full responsibility for all content published on your custom site.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

Governing Language

These Terms are drafted in English, which is the governing and legally binding language. Any translation into another language is provided for convenience only; in the event of any conflict or discrepancy, the English version prevails. The sole exception is the Ukrainian-language Public Offer for payments via plata by mono (Monobank / АТ «Універсал Банк»), which is binding for those payments as required by Ukrainian law.
