By accessing or using any part of the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not access or use the Service.

2. Multi-Platform Service Description

Annotated operates across multiple digital touchpoints:

  • Browser Extension: Enables users to highlight text, record video clips, and attach commentary or context to third-party web content.
  • Web Platform: Provides discovery, sharing, community discussion, and profile management for public annotations.
  • Amazon Fire TV & Connected TV Clients: Delivers lean-back 10-foot streaming of community-curated video clips with live synchronized community notes, interactive emotes, mobile handoff QR passes, and in-app content reporting and moderation.
  • Roku TV Channel: Delivers lean-back streaming of community-curated video clips with live synchronized community notes, interactive emotes, and mobile handoff QR passes.

3. Public Nature of User Content

Public by Design: Any annotation, comment, video clip snippet, reaction, or metadata you submit to Annotated is publicly accessible. Do not submit sensitive personal information, proprietary material, or confidential content.

You retain ownership of your original commentary, but you grant Annotated a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, display, syndicate, distribute, and format your submitted content across our web, extension, and TV applications.

4. Community Notes & AI Fact-Checking Disclaimer

The Service includes automated contextual analysis and fact-checking heuristics powered by Google Gemini AI, as well as community-submitted notes and reactions.

  • Informational Purposes Only: Fact-check ratings, community badges, and consensus labels are provided for informational and media-literacy purposes only.
  • No Professional Advice: Annotations and AI summaries do not constitute legal, medical, financial, or certified professional advice.
  • Third-Party Accuracy: Annotated does not endorse, verify the absolute accuracy of, or assume liability for opinions, quotes, or statements made by third parties or community contributors.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC) Policy & Community Guidelines

Annotated strictly enforces a safe and respectful environment across all platforms (Web, Chrome Extension, Android, and Roku/Fire TV). We maintain zero tolerance for objectionable, offensive, or abusive content and bad actors.

Prohibited Content

You may not submit, post, stream, or share content that contains or promotes:

  • Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSAM) or any endangerment of minors (zero tolerance; reported immediately to law enforcement/NCMEC).
  • Pornography, sexually explicit material, or non-consensual sexual content.
  • Graphic violence, severe injury, gore, or suicide/self-harm encouragement.
  • Hate speech, discrimination, harassment, threats, bullying, or stalking.
  • Illegal activities, weapon trafficking, illicit drugs, or cyberattacks.
  • Deceptive scams, phishing, spam, or malicious links.

Automated Pre-Screening & Moderation

All user-submitted content is filtered through automated pre-screening checks (including local regex rules and Google Gemini AI moderation heuristics) before or upon publishing. Content flagged for severe policy violations is blocked automatically.

In-App Reporting & Blocking Mechanisms

Every client application (Web, Android app, Chrome Extension, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku TV Channel) provides user-accessible mechanisms to:

  • Report Content: Tap or click the flag/report button on any annotation, comment, or TV card to instantly submit an objectionable content report specifying the reason.
  • Block Abusive Users: Block authors immediately to permanently hide all existing and future content posted by that author from your view.

24-Hour Review & Removal Commitment

Annotated investigates all user reports within 24 hours. Content reported for severe violations is immediately auto-hidden pending administrative audit. Content found in violation of our guidelines will be permanently deleted, and the offending author account will be terminated and banned. To submit an expedited report or appeal a moderation action, contact magnetarsenti@gmail.com.

6. Third-Party Content & DMCA Notice

Annotations refer to and quote external websites, articles, and video streams. Annotated is not responsible for external content. If you believe your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please review our DMCA / Fair Use Policy or contact our designated agent at magnetarsenti@gmail.com.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or access to the Service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or harms other users or the platform.
