Terms of Use — RX PRULE

Version: 2.0 · Effective from: June 2026

These Terms of Use govern the relationship between RX PRULE (also referred to as "the application", "platform", or "service") and the end user. Installing, opening, or using the application on any compatible device implies full, free, and express acceptance of these Terms. In case of disagreement, the user must refrain from using the service.

1. Nature of the product

RX PRULE is digital media player software — a neutral technological tool, equivalent in nature to other widely known media players in the market.

The service consists exclusively of the following elements:

• Media player application, compatible with open playlist formats (m3u, m3u8, and similar)
• Per-device licensing system
• Web panel for license management and source organization
• Tools for users to manually register the media sources they wish to play

2. What RX PRULE is NOT and does NOT do

By its technical nature and by deliberate product choice, RX PRULE performs no function of content provider, aggregator, or distributor. In particular, RX PRULE:

• Does not provide TV channels, movies, series, sporting events, or any other audiovisual content
• Does not commercialize, host, distribute, recommend, or index third-party content
• Does not operate an OTT service, streaming platform, channel aggregator, or similar
• Maintains no own catalog, library, algorithmic recommendation, or programming guide
• Displays no advertising tied to third-party content
• Has no editorial, technical, or commercial control over the content played
• Has no relationship of any kind with the media providers the user chooses to use

3. Full user responsibility for content

All content played by RX PRULE is solely and exclusively inserted by the user, through manual registration of URLs, lists in open format, or external server credentials.

RX PRULE acts as a mere passive player of sources provided by the user, without technical capacity or legal duty to inspect, classify, filter, or continuously monitor the content of such sources — a principle recognized in intellectual property legislation and intermediary liability regimes, including the international "safe harbor" doctrine.

By using RX PRULE, the user declares, under sole and full responsibility, that:

• They hold valid authorization, directly or indirectly, to play all content they add to the application
• They are the sole party responsible for the origin, lawfulness, regularity, and rights over the registered media sources
• They acknowledge that RX PRULE does not provide, recommend, endorse, or associate with any specific content, channel, service, or provider
• They release RX PRULE from any liability arising from improper use of the inserted sources

4. Copyright and intellectual property

RX PRULE fully respects copyright and other intellectual property rights of third parties. This section complements the user obligations set forth in these Terms.

Essential declarations:

• RX PRULE does not license, authorize, or commercialize any third-party audiovisual content
• RX PRULE neither guarantees nor has any means to verify that the user holds rights over the content played
• The inclusion of any source in the application constitutes the user's implicit declaration of holding authorization for the intended use
• The user assumes full and exclusive civil, criminal, administrative, or contractual liability arising from any infringement of copyright, related rights, or image rights
• RX PRULE cooperates with legitimate copyright holders through the formal notification procedure provided in this document

The user undertakes to observe the rules applicable in their jurisdiction, including, without limitation: Digital Millennium Copyright Act — 17 U.S.C. § 512 (United States); Law nº 9.610/1998 (Brazil); Directive 2001/29/EC and Regulation EU 2022/2065 — Digital Services Act (European Union); Berne Convention; and other applicable international treaties.

5. Demonstration content

Any content identified as "RxPruleDemo" or similar, occasionally shown in demonstration materials, sample screens, or educational resources of RX PRULE, consists exclusively of:

• Material produced by the RX PRULE team
• Public domain works
• Open and legally accessible broadcasts (free-to-air)
• Content licensed under express authorization from the respective rights holders

No third-party copyrighted work is used for demonstration purposes without authorization. Demonstration content is, by nature, distinct from content occasionally inserted by users, for which RX PRULE bears no responsibility.

6. Acceptable use

The user may use RX PRULE to play, among other legitimate uses:

• Personal media stored on owned devices (home servers, NAS, HDDs)
• Content from providers and services regularly subscribed by the user
• Public broadcasts that are free and legally accessible (free-to-air, web radios, official broadcasters)
• Internal streams from companies, institutions, or events (corporate use, monitoring, institutional events)
• Content intended for testing, development, education, and technical demonstration

7. Prohibited conduct

The user is expressly prohibited from using RX PRULE to:

• Play, retransmit, or facilitate access to copyrighted content without rights holder authorization
• Access paid third-party services, channels, or events without legitimate subscription
• Circumvent technical protection mechanisms (DRM, TPM, or equivalents)
• Engage in any acts that violate intellectual property rights under applicable law
• Disseminate manifestly unlawful content, including, without limitation, material related to exploitation of minors, incitement to violence, terrorism, or hate speech
• Commit technical fraud against the platform (identifier cloning, exploitation of vulnerabilities, unauthorized automation)

Failure to comply with this clause constitutes a serious contractual breach, leading to immediate suspension of access, without prejudice to applicable civil and criminal liability.

8. Notice & Takedown procedure

RX PRULE adopts a formal notification and removal process, in compliance with the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512), Marco Civil da Internet (Law nº 12.965/2014, art. 19), and the Digital Services Act (Regulation EU 2022/2065).

Copyright holders who believe that a source inserted by a user of RX PRULE infringes their rights may send formal notice to the Contact channel indicated in this document, mandatorily containing:

1. Identification of the rights holder or authorized agent
2. Description of the protected work and the alleged ownership
3. Specific indication of the complained URL/resource
4. Address, phone, and email for communication
5. Good-faith statement regarding the absence of authorization
6. Statement, under penalty of perjury, of the veracity of the information and legitimacy to act
7. Physical or electronic signature

Upon receipt of a complete, substantiated, and good-faith notice, RX PRULE acts within 48 business hours to:

• Remove or disable the reference to the complained source within the system
• Notify the user responsible for the insertion
• Apply the repeat infringer policy provided in clause 10

Since RX PRULE does not host third-party content, removal is limited to the reference stored in the user's profile. Definitive removal of the content must be sought from the provider that actually hosts it.

Groundless, abusive, fraudulent, or bad-faith notices subject the requester to penalties under DMCA § 512(f) and other equivalent laws, including civil liability for damages caused.

9. Counter-notice

A user whose source has been removed as a result of a notice may submit a counter-notice, containing:

• Precise identification of the removed content
• Statement, under penalty of perjury, that removal resulted from error or misidentification
• Address and contact information
• Express acceptance of applicable jurisdiction
• Physical or electronic signature

Upon a valid counter-notice and absent judicial action by the original requester within a reasonable period (ten to fourteen business days, depending on applicable law), the reference may be restored.

10. Repeat Infringer Policy

Users subject to three or more valid notices of copyright infringement will have their account permanently suspended, with no refund. This policy is a requirement of major app stores and the "safe harbor" regime.

11. Software license

• Free evaluation period: 7 days, automatically granted on first device registration, with no credit card required
• Paid license: annual, bound to each device independently
• Renewal: performed exclusively at the user's initiative; there is no automatic charge without express authorization
• Transfer: the license is bound to the unique device identifier; transfer requests due to hardware defect are reviewed case by case
• Personal use: the license authorizes personal and non-exclusive use of the software, granting no rights of resale, sublicensing, decompilation, or modification

12. Suspension and blocking

RX PRULE reserves the right to suspend or block accounts and devices that:

• Use the service to distribute pirated content or engage in manifestly unlawful practice
• Attempt to defraud the platform (identifier cloning, exploits, abusive automation)
• Repeatedly violate these Terms
• Are subject of valid and substantiated notices from copyright holders

In such cases, there is no right to refund.

13. Availability and "as is"

RX PRULE undertakes reasonable efforts to keep the service stable and available, without, however, guaranteeing one hundred percent availability. Scheduled maintenance will be informed in advance whenever possible.

The software is provided "as is", with no warranties regarding:

• Compatibility with any and all playlists, codecs, or protocols on the market
• Compatibility with any and all devices (it is the user's responsibility to verify before installation)
• Continuous accessibility of content from external providers chosen by the user

14. Software intellectual property

The RX PRULE software, including interface, trademarks, logos, icons, source code, and other visual or functional elements, is the exclusive property of the entity operating the service. The license granted to the user does not authorize resale, redistribution, decompilation, reverse engineering, or modification, except within legally permitted limits.

15. Limitation of liability

RX PRULE shall in no event be liable for:

• Content of sources inserted by users, their origin, regularity, or lawfulness
• Acts of third parties, including external media providers
• User decisions based on information displayed in the application
• Losses arising from device hardware defects, network failures, or unavailability of external providers
• Offensive, unlawful, or inappropriate content accessed by the user at their sole risk
• Indirect damages, lost profits, or consequential losses, except in cases of proven willful misconduct or gross negligence

Any total liability potentially attributable to RX PRULE is limited to the amount actually paid by the user for the license in force at the time of the triggering event.

16. Jurisdiction, law, and cooperation

These Terms are governed by the legislation applicable to the entity operating the service, without prejudice to consumer protection and personal data protection rules applicable due to the user's domicile.

RX PRULE cooperates with competent authorities upon formal legal request, supporting investigation and the preservation of public order, observing due process and the rights of data subjects.

17. Playlist PIN and local proof of ownership

The four-digit PIN is an optional protection set by the user when registering a source. Its purpose is to prevent third parties from viewing sensitive details (name, username, URL) in the web panel, displaying only the indication that the source exists and is protected.

The browser in which the source was registered stores, locally, a proof of ownership recognized by the server, dispensing with the PIN for the user themselves. The proof remains exclusively on the local device and is never improperly transmitted.

Clearing browser data, formatting, switching equipment, or using anonymous mode results in loss of the local proof; in such cases, the panel will require the PIN to reidentify the user. Periodic encrypted backup via the "Export" function is recommended.

18. Amendments to the Terms

Substantial changes to these Terms will be communicated at least fifteen days in advance through the application. Continued use after the effective date implies tacit acceptance.

19. General provisions

The possible invalidity or unenforceability of any clause of these Terms does not affect the validity of the remaining ones. Tolerance regarding non-compliance with any obligation does not constitute novation or waiver of rights.

20. Communications and contact

Questions, information requests, formal notices (including Notice & Takedown), and other communications should be directed to the official channels listed on the Contact page.
