- Quality, availability, or legality of content to which user links lead;
- Any losses, direct or indirect, arising from the use of the service.
Service Role
ℹ️ Analogy
PodStream works like a technical "notebook" where the user independently writes down links. The service is not responsible for what links the user writes and what is behind them. Similarly, a pen manufacturer is not responsible for what a person writes with that pen.
PodStream provides only a technical tool. All decisions on what to create and how to use it are made exclusively by the user, who bears full responsibility for them.
User Responsibility
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE
The user of the service bears FULL AND EXCLUSIVE legal responsibility for:
- Choice of links they post
- Legality of content use
- Compliance with copyright
- Compliance with terms of source platforms
- All consequences of their actions
Relations with Source Platforms
PodStream:
- Is NOT associated with YouTube, Google, VK, RuTube, Apple, Spotify, or any other companies;
- Is NOT a partner of these platforms;
- Has NO official agreements with these platforms;
- Works independently using public APIs and publicly available data.
The user is independently responsible for compliance with the Terms of Service of these platforms.
Procedure for Infringements
If a copyright holder believes their rights have been violated:
- Content is on the source platform (YouTube/VK/RuTube), not on PodStream servers
- The copyright holder must contact the source platform directly to remove content
- Additionally, a complaint can be sent to dmca@podstream.ru to remove the RSS link
- PodStream will remove the RSS feed, but this will NOT remove the content itself from the source platform
📋 Final Statement
By using the PodStream service, you confirm that you understand its technical nature, accept all responsibility for your actions, and release the service owner from any liability for the consequences of your use of the service.
