Terms, privacy and DMCA

1. Using the app

These terms apply to everyone who uses Auroa. By using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Auroa is provided as it is, with no guarantee that it will always be available, free of faults, or suitable for a particular purpose. Features can change or be removed.

You are responsible for how you use the app and for following the laws that apply where you live.

2. What the app is, and where films and shows come from

Auroa is a media browser and player. It does not host, upload or store any films or shows. Titles, artwork and descriptions come from TMDB. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

Anything that plays comes from add-ons and accounts that you choose to switch on or connect, such as a debrid service. Those are run by third parties, not by Auroa, and the developer does not control what they list.

It is your responsibility to make sure you have the right to watch what you play. Do not use the app to watch anything you are not allowed to watch.

3. Rules

You must not: share, resell or publish VIP codes beyond what the person who gave you the code allows; try to get VIP features without a valid code; interfere with the app, its server or other people using it; copy, modify or redistribute the app; or use the app for anything unlawful.

An Apple TV that breaks these terms can be blocked from the app, and a VIP code can be switched off, without notice.

4. VIP and donations

Auroa is free. Donations are voluntary and support the work on the app. VIP is a thank-you for supporters. It is not a purchase of any film or show, and it does not give access to any content.

A VIP code works on a limited number of Apple TVs and may have a time limit, after which the VIP features stop. Donations are not refundable unless the law where you live says otherwise.

5. Copyright and DMCA

Auroa respects the rights of copyright owners. The app stores no media and has no control over the files or streams offered by third-party services. A takedown of the media itself has to be sent to the service that hosts it.

If you own a copyright, or act for someone who does, and believe something in Auroa that is within the developer's control infringes it (for example a built-in source, or a title's listing), send a notice to dqmbbusiness@gmail.com with:

1. The work you say has been infringed. 2. What in the app you are reporting and where it appears (the title and, if you know it, the source). 3. Your name, email address and, if you act for someone, who that is. 4. A statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law. 5. A statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner. 6. Your signature (typing your full name is enough).

Valid notices are reviewed and acted on promptly: whatever is within the developer’s control is removed or switched off. People who repeatedly use the app to infringe copyright can be blocked.

6. Privacy

To run the service, the app sends the Auroa server: a random device ID made on this Apple TV, the app version, a VIP code if one is entered, and the settings in use. Like every internet service, the server also sees your IP address, from which an approximate location and internet provider can be worked out.

If you connect Trakt or Simkl (Settings, Connected accounts), the titles you watch and how far you got are sent to that service, and your My List too for Trakt. Their own terms and privacy policies apply to what they hold.

While Settings, Preferences, Share usage details is on, the app also reports what is playing and the names of the profiles on this Apple TV (so the developer can give a profile a rank). Switch it off there to stop that. The app does not ask for your name, and it does not sell or pass on this information.

Debrid and add-on services receive what they need to work, under their own terms. To ask what is held about your Apple TV, or to have it removed, contact the developer and quote your device ID.

7. Liability

As far as the law allows, the developer of Auroa is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the app, from a third-party service, or from the app being unavailable. Nothing in these terms takes away rights that the law says cannot be taken away.

8. Changes and contact

These terms can change. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use the app means you accept it.
