Legal
Terms
Last updated:
These terms cover your use of fridayrespawn.com (“FridayRespawn”, “we”, “us”). By using the site you agree to them. The most important part is the permission you give when you send a review.
Who can use the site
Anyone can read the site. To sign in and send a review you need a Google account, and you must be 18 or older or have your parent or guardian's agreement. One person, one account. Don't sign in as someone else.
Your review and the permission you give
When you send a review through Aapki Raay, you tick a box with this text. It is the permission we rely on:
I give FridayRespawn permission to use my review. FridayRespawn may edit and trim my video, combine it with other viewers' reviews into one compilation video, and publish it, along with clips, Shorts, Reels and thumbnails made from it, on FridayRespawn's YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, including videos that earn money. I won't be paid. I confirm this is my own face and voice, and that I'm 18 or older (or my parent or guardian has agreed).
In plain terms, that means:
- You keep ownership of your video. You give FridayRespawn a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it as described above. You can still post your video anywhere else.
- Editing: we may trim, cut, reframe, add captions, music, graphics and our branding, and combine your review with others. We won't edit it to change what you meant.
- Where it can appear: FridayRespawn's YouTube channel, Facebook page and Instagram account, including Shorts, Reels, clips and thumbnails, and including videos that earn money from ads or sponsors.
- No payment: you won't be paid, and sending a review is not an entry into a contest.
- No guarantee: we choose which reviews to feature. Sending one doesn't mean it will be used.
- Credit: if we feature your review, we'll try to credit you by the name you gave. If you ticked “Add me as a collaborator” and gave a social link, we'll try to tag you or invite you as a collaborator where the platform allows. Platforms limit collaborators, so this isn't guaranteed.
- Your promises: the video is your own face and voice; anyone else who clearly appears in it has agreed; and it doesn't include music, film clips or other material you don't have the right to share.
- How long: the licence lasts for as long as the published video stays up. If you withdraw your review before it is published, we won't use it. If you withdraw after it is published, we won't use it in anything new, but videos already published may stay up.
- Your copy: you get an email receipt with the exact text you agreed to, its version and the time.
Your video stays on your own YouTube channel. Please keep it Unlisted (not Private) until the review drive closes so we can watch it. If you delete it, we may not be able to use it.
If you record on fridayrespawn.com, the recording stays on your device until you save it or upload it to your own YouTube channel. If you use the optional upload feature, the video is published on your channel, under your account and YouTube's terms, as Unlisted. Sending us a review is a separate step, and the permission above applies only once you send it.
Content rules
Don't send anything that:
- is hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, or targets a religion, caste, community or person;
- includes other people who haven't agreed to appear, or personal details of others;
- infringes copyright, for example long film clips or copyrighted music;
- breaks YouTube's Community Guidelines or the law;
- is spam, or a video that isn't yours.
We may reject or remove any submission, and block accounts that break these rules.
Takedown requests
If you think something we published uses your content or image without permission, write to contact@fridayrespawn.com with a link and an explanation. We aim to reply within 7 days.
Your account and data
See the Privacy policy for what we collect, and Data deletion to withdraw a review or delete your data.
Google and YouTube
Sign-in is provided by Google. The optional upload feature uses YouTube API Services; by using it you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. FridayRespawn is not affiliated with YouTube, Google, Meta, or any film studio.
Disclaimers
The site is provided “as is”. We try to keep it running, but we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. Opinions in reviews belong to the people who made them. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect losses from using the site.
Changes
We may update these terms and will change the date at the top when we do. The permission you gave on a review stays the version you agreed to; we'll ask again if we want to use a review in a new way.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
