Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) governs all content created, uploaded, published, remixed, or distributed across the ReelCirq streaming platform and ReelCirq Studio. All users—including guest viewers, registered subscribers, creators, and administrators—must adhere to these mandatory standards.

ReelCirq maintains a zero-tolerance stance toward illegal, dangerous, and abusive content. Failure to comply with this policy will result in immediate enforcement, including automated blocking, demonetization, content quarantine, account termination, and referrals to law enforcement where required by law.

You may not use ReelCirq or ReelCirq Studio to upload, generate, store, stream, monetize, or transmit any material falling into the following categories:

• Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) or Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSAE)
• Adult, pornographic, or non-consensual sexually explicit content
• Intellectual property or copyright-infringing works
• Violent extremism, terrorism, recruitment, or radicalization material
• Hate speech, incitement to violence, harassment, or self-harm encouragement
• Unlawful goods, services, fraudulent schemes, malware, or credential harvesting

ReelCirq is a cinematic episodic entertainment platform. We strictly prohibit:

• Full or partial nudity depicted for sexual gratification or titillation.
• Real or simulated sexual acts, intercourse, masturbation, or fetish material.
• Sexually explicit AI-generated video, images, dialogue, or audio.

• AI-generated, synthetic, animated, or illustrated depictions of child sexual abuse or exploitation.
• Grooming, solicitation, or sexualization of children.

Mandatory Legal Reporting: Any identified or suspected child sexual abuse material is immediately quarantined, restricted from all view, and reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and appropriate domestic and international law enforcement agencies in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A.

Creators must hold all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for all video footage, artwork, music tracks, sound effects, scripts, voices, trademarks, and likenesses uploaded or published on ReelCirq.

• Do not upload unauthorized copies of films, television shows, anime, or commercial broadcasts.
• Do not incorporate copyrighted music or sound recordings without verified commercial licenses.

ReelCirq prohibits organizations and individuals associated with terrorism or violent extremism from utilizing the service. Prohibited content includes:

• Propaganda, manifestos, or training materials produced by or praising designated terrorist groups.
• Depictions or celebrations of mass casualty events, hate-motivated attacks, or acts of terrorism.
• Recruitment, fundraising, or coordination for extremist violence.

To ensure platform safety and compliance with our payment processing and banking partners, ReelCirq employs a multi-tiered defense:

• Automated Pre-Publication Screening: All submitted series metadata, episode descriptions, uploaded imagery (posters, banners, thumbnails), video uploads, and AI generation prompts are scanned by automated moderation systems prior to public release.
• Fail-Closed Security: If an automated moderation scan fails or encounters service disruption, content is held in review and will not publish automatically until safety can be verified.
• Human Review: Flagged content is escalated to our Trust & Safety team for administrative review.

When an AUP violation is identified or substantiated:

• Immediate Demonetization: Paid episode access, coin unlock requirements, and revenue share accruals are immediately terminated. Restricted titles cannot be purchased.
• Quarantine and Removal: The content is stripped from public catalogs, search results, recommendations, and streaming playback endpoints.
• Storage/CDN Access Revocation: Direct asset links and streaming manifests are invalidated to halt unauthorized downstream distribution.
• Creator Sanctions: Violating creators may face submission suspension, monetization holds, or permanent account expulsion depending on violation severity.

Creators whose content has been rejected, demonetized, or removed may file an appeal through the Creator Studio or by contacting our Trust & Safety team. Appeals must include the title identifier, explanation, and any supporting rights documentation.
