Terms of Service
Version 0.4 — November 2, 2026
Aeon of Creators is operated by Dark Underworld Records & Nocturnal Fire Entertainment, LLC.
Operator: Dark Underworld Records & Nocturnal Fire Entertainment, LLC ("Aeon", "we"). 1. ACCEPTANCE. Using this site is acceptance of these Terms. Creating an account is acceptance of these Terms, the Community Guidelines, and the Privacy Policy. Acceptance is recorded (account, version, timestamp, device/IP). No acceptance, no account. Material changes require re-acceptance before continued use of the service. 2. ELIGIBILITY. You must be at least 13 years old to hold any account, and 18 or older to hold a monetized account or receive payouts. If the minimum age in your jurisdiction is higher, that age applies. 3. YOUR CONTENT, YOUR OWNERSHIP. You keep ownership of everything you upload. 4. LICENSE YOU GRANT US. By uploading, you grant Aeon a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transcode, stream, display, and promote your content (including thumbnails and short promotional clips) for operating the platform, including delivery through our hosting and CDN providers. This license ends when your content is deleted, except for legal/log records. 5. YOUR CERTIFICATION. At every upload you certify that you own the content or hold every right needed to post and monetize it, and that your declarations (features, samples, AI use) are true. 6. ENFORCEMENT. We may reject, limit, age-restrict, demonetize, remove content, or suspend/terminate accounts under the Community Guidelines and the Moderation Procedure, with notice of the rule enforced and an appeal path. 7. DELETION. When you delete content, or content is finally rejected/removed, the media is permanently purged — file, renditions, thumbnails. There is no trash or recovery. Media under an open copyright claim is preserved, access-disabled, until the claim resolves (DMCA Protocol). 8. MONEY. Monetization is governed solely by the separate Monetization Agreement, signed at eligibility. Watching/uploading never enrolls you in it. 9. DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY. The service is provided "as is." To the maximum extent the law allows, Aeon's total liability arising from the service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amounts Aeon paid you in the 12 months before the claim. Aeon is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Parts of the service run through third parties — payments through Stripe, advertising through Google. Those services are governed by their own terms, and Aeon is not liable for their acts, omissions, or failures. 10. INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify Aeon against claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from content you uploaded without the rights to post it, or from your violation of these Terms. 11. GOVERNING LAW; ARBITRATION; CLASS-ACTION WAIVER. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. (a) Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. (b) Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service — whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other theory — will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in South Carolina. The arbitrator, not any court, has exclusive authority to decide arbitrability, except that the class-action waiver in (c) may be challenged in court. (c) CLASS-ACTION AND JURY WAIVER. YOU AND AEON WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED PROCEEDING. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a claim, that claim must be brought in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina, and the rest of this section still applies to all other claims. (d) Carve-outs. Either side may (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court; (ii) seek temporary or injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property, accounts, or the platform's security; or (iii) bring a claim that applicable law requires to be heard in court. (e) Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration section by written notice to Aeon within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or of a material change to this section). Opting out does not affect any other provision. (f) Fees and conduct. Arbitration fees are allocated under the AAA Consumer Rules. If a filing is found frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the arbitrator may award fees and costs to the extent the rules and law allow. Claims filed in a coordinated mass filing will be administered in batches as the AAA directs. (g) Survival. This section survives termination of your account. 12. TERMINATION BY YOU. You may close your account at any time; deletion of your content follows Section 7. Sections 9–11 survive termination. 13. THE PLATFORM IS A VENUE. Aeon is a hosting platform, not a publisher of creator content. Content on the platform belongs to the creator who uploaded it; Aeon does not create, endorse, or adopt it, and — to the maximum extent the law allows — Aeon is not responsible or liable for any creator's content, statements, products, or conduct, on or off the platform. Disputes between users are between those users; Aeon is not a party to them. Nothing in these Terms limits any protection or safe harbor the law gives a hosting platform, including under 17 U.S.C. 512 and 47 U.S.C. 230. 14. INDEPENDENT CREATORS. Creators are independent. Nothing in these Terms or on the platform makes a creator an employee, agent, partner, or representative of Aeon or of Dark Underworld Records & Nocturnal Fire Entertainment, LLC, and no creator has authority to bind the LLC to anything. 15. YOUR ACCOUNT, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You are responsible for all activity under your account, whether or not you personally performed it. Keep your credentials secure, and notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. 16. PROTECTING THE PLATFORM. You may not: scrape or harvest the platform or its users' data; circumvent security, access controls, or enforcement; interfere with the platform's operation; probe for vulnerabilities without written authorization; impersonate Aeon, its staff, or the LLC; or use the platform to infringe anyone's rights. Violations may result in immediate termination and legal action. 18. DOWNLOADS AND OFFLINE SAVES. A video file may be downloaded only by the creator who uploaded it. Memberships never transfer video files: where a channel's highest membership tier includes the downloads perk, members may save videos inside the Aeon app for offline viewing in the app only. Saved videos remain Aeon's streamed content, may not be extracted, copied, or redistributed, and access to saves may end when a membership ends or the video is removed. 19. CREATOR PLANS AND THE STOREFRONT. Aeon sells optional creator plans (subscriptions billed through Stripe) that unlock platform features such as the verified-creator badge and the Creators Storefront. Plan features are described at purchase; fees are non-refundable except where the law requires. A plan may be cancelled at any time and runs to the end of the paid period. The Storefront is a presentation of the creator's own products and links: the creator is solely responsible for the products, prices, fulfillment, refunds, and the truth of anything on their Storefront, and for disclosing affiliate relationships (the platform prints a standard affiliate disclosure automatically where affiliate links are detected). Aeon is not the seller of Storefront products and is not a party to Storefront transactions. 20. GENERAL. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest stand. These Terms, the Community Guidelines, the Privacy Policy, and (for monetized creators) the Monetization Agreement are the entire agreement between you and Aeon about the service. Aeon's failure to enforce a provision once is not a waiver of it.
