These Terms of Service ("ToS") govern the relationship between TIMELESS CINEMA and each individual User of the Platform. They apply to all Users regardless of their Account type (Exhibitor or Rights Holder) or role.
These ToS are distinct from the Terms of Sale, which govern commercial transactions between Accounts and must be accepted separately by the Owner or Admin of each Account.
By creating a User account on the Platform, the User expressly accepts these ToS in their entirety, as well as the Privacy Policy.
Acceptance is recorded electronically: the date, time (UTC), IP address and User-Agent at the time of acceptance are stored as proof of informed consent, in accordance with Article 1127-1 of the French Civil Code and GDPR Article 7. A confirmation email is sent to the User upon acceptance.
TIMELESS CINEMA may update these ToS at any time. Users will be notified of material changes and will be required to review and re-accept the updated version before continuing to access the Platform. A dedicated full-page screen will block access until re-acceptance is confirmed. A summary of material changes will be displayed at the time of re-acceptance.
To create a User account, you must:
The Platform is exclusively B2B. Consumer or personal use is not permitted.
Exhibitors may self-register on the Platform and complete a multi-step onboarding process. At least one cinema and one screening room must be registered before the account becomes operational.
Rights Holder accounts are created exclusively by TIMELESS CINEMA's team. Rights Holders cannot self-register.
Each User is attached to one or more Accounts with a defined role. A User may belong to multiple Accounts simultaneously (e.g. Admin of one Exhibitor and Member of another).
Exhibitor Account roles:
| Role | Permissions |

| Owner | Full access. Accepts Terms of Sale on behalf of the Account. Manages billing and account settings. Manages members and API tokens. |
| Admin | Same as Owner except account deletion. Can accept Terms of Sale. |

| Admin | Same as Owner. Can approve or reject screening requests. |
| Member | Read-only access. Can view requests and financial data. Cannot take any transactional action. |
A User may be a member of multiple Accounts. The Platform provides an account switcher to move between active Accounts. Rights and obligations apply per Account context: Terms of Sale acceptance is per Account, while ToS acceptance is per User.
Users are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their credentials. Multi-factor authentication (MFA/TOTP) is available and strongly recommended.
Any activity performed under a User session is the User's responsibility. Sessions expire automatically after 30 days of inactivity. Individual sessions can be revoked from the User profile page.
Users must notify TIMELESS CINEMA immediately at hello@timeless.film in the event of suspected unauthorised access.
Owners and Admins of Exhibitor Accounts may generate API tokens to authenticate programmatic access to the Platform's REST API (/api/v1/). API tokens:
TIMELESS CINEMA reserves the right to revoke API tokens that are misused or suspected of compromise, without prior notice.
Users may use the Platform solely for its intended purpose: facilitating the licensing of classic and heritage film screening rights between professional Exhibitors and Rights Holders.
Users agree not to:
By uploading Content (film metadata, company information, promotional materials, etc.), Users grant TIMELESS CINEMA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, display, and process such Content solely for the purpose of operating the Platform and providing the Services.
Users warrant that they hold all necessary rights to the Content they upload and that such Content does not infringe any third-party rights.
As part of using the Platform, Users will receive transactional emails related to their activity, including but not limited to: account verification, password reset, session confirmation, Terms acceptance confirmation, screening request notifications, and delivery confirmations.
Rights Holders will receive email notifications for each new screening request submitted for their catalogue. These notification emails contain secure tokenised links allowing approval or rejection of requests directly from the email, without requiring login. These links expire after 14 days.
Users may not unsubscribe from transactional emails, as they are necessary for the operation of the Services.
The Platform, its interface, design, source code, trademarks ("TIMELESS", "TIMELESS CINEMA"), and all original content produced by TIMELESS CINEMA are the exclusive property of TIMELESS CINEMA, protected by French and international intellectual property law.
No licence is granted to Users over the Platform's intellectual property beyond what is strictly necessary for normal use of the Services.
Film content, posters, stills, and metadata remain the property of their respective Rights Holders. Film metadata is enriched in part from TMDB (The Movie Database) in accordance with its terms of use.
TIMELESS CINEMA endeavours to maintain the Platform's availability but does not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated in advance where reasonably practicable.
TIMELESS CINEMA reserves the right to suspend or modify the Platform, in whole or in part, at any time for operational or security reasons, with reasonable prior notice where possible.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
Nothing in these ToS limits liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, or death.
