Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of arlotv.ai, the Arlo chat interface, the Arlo API, and the Arlo Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Ramyr Joseph Panal Pascual, doing business as Dotstudioz ("Dotstudioz", "Arlo", "we"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

The Service

Arlo is a recommendation engine for video content. We index streaming catalogs (both partner catalogs that license through Spotlight and public catalogs accessed via Watchmode and equivalent sources), and we return ranked recommendations in response to natural-language queries from users and AI agents.

We do not host video content. Every play link routes you to a third-party platform (Netflix, Tubi, Chillfree, ElectricNOW, etc.). Their terms govern playback.

Eligibility & accounts

You must be at least 13 to use Arlo (16 in the EEA). If you create an account, you are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for everything done under your account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, mirror, or systematically re-distribute our catalog or recommendations without a written agreement.
• Use the Service to violate intellectual property rights, harass users, or distribute unlawful content.
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service except as part of a coordinated disclosure to security@dotstudioz.com.
• Misrepresent the source of recommendations (e.g. pass off Arlo's output as your own original ranking system) in ways that would mislead consumers.
• Use the Service to train a competing recommendation model.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

API & MCP

Programmatic access (REST, MCP, widget) is governed by an additional Master Services Agreement (MSA) when you sign up for a paid plan. Rate limits, usage caps, and per-tier feature gating are described on the pricing page and your order form.

Fees

Paid plans bill monthly via Stripe. Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law. Per-click and per-verified-watch referral fees are metered against your plan's cap; overage is billed monthly in arrears.

Intellectual property

Arlo's software, ranking algorithms, embeddings, prompt scaffolding, and the "Arlo Vibe™" trade name are the property of Joe Pascual (Dotstudioz). No rights are granted except as expressly described in these Terms or an MSA.

Patent pending. U.S. Provisional Patent Application 64/074,742 filed May 26, 2026. Trademark ARLO VIBE, USPTO Serial 99847725, filed May 27, 2026. See IP & Patents for details.

You retain all rights to the content you submit (queries, feedback). By submitting, you grant Dotstudioz a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that content to operate and improve the Service.

Streaming-platform partner content

Catalogs licensed through Spotlight remain the property of the licensing partner. Arlo indexes title metadata only and never hosts video. Spotlight licensees benefit from the Spotlight Guarantee described on the for platforms page: their licensed titles will not be returned alongside competing free-stream duplicates from external catalogs.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent allowed by law, Dotstudioz disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that recommendations will match your taste or that any third-party platform will play any given title.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Dotstudioz' aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) $100 or (b) the amount you paid Dotstudioz in the 12 months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Dotstudioz harmless from claims arising from your misuse of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms.

Termination

Either party may terminate use at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive (IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution) will survive termination.

Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Polk County, Florida; both parties consent to that jurisdiction.

Changes

We may update these Terms by posting a new version here. Material changes will be announced on the site or by email. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
