4. Uploading Does Not Transfer Ownership

Uploading content to Playflick does not transfer ownership of your content to Playflick.

However, by uploading or submitting content, you grant Playflick the rights needed to host, process, display, stream, promote, recommend, moderate, transcode, distribute, and make the content available through Playflick features, subject to our Terms of Service and applicable policies.

Creators should confirm whether their licences allow:

Commercial use
Advertising monetisation
Paid content sales
Video rentals
Subscription access
International distribution
Use in promotional materials
Use in thumbnails or previews
Use in embedded players

Creators must have the right to sell, rent, or provide paid access to any content offered through Playflick paid content tools.

Paid content must not:

Use content without the right to sell or rent it
Mislead buyers about what they are purchasing
Include unlicensed music, clips, images, or performances
Violate copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or contract rights

Limited by music, film, or talent rights

Playflick may restrict or remove content where regional rights issues are reported or identified.

Expired licences may affect:

Video availability
Paid content access
Subscriptions
Advertising monetisation
Embeds
Promotional materials
Creator payouts

11. Exclusive and Non-Exclusive Rights

Creators should understand whether their rights are exclusive or non-exclusive.

Exclusive rights may prevent other people from distributing the same content or may prevent the creator from distributing the content on certain platforms.

Non-exclusive rights may allow multiple parties to use or distribute content, but may still have limits.

Playflick is not responsible for private contractual disputes about exclusivity unless required by law or policy.

12. Film, Trailer, and Entertainment Rights

Films, trailers, episodes, clips, behind-the-scenes footage, posters, and promotional materials may involve many rights holders.

Creators and distributors should make sure they have permission from relevant parties, such as:

Production companies
Studios
Directors
Writers
Producers
Actors and performers
Music owners
Poster or artwork owners
Distributors
Sales agents
Guilds, unions, or collecting societies where applicable

13. Music and Audio Rights

Music and audio rights may be separate from video rights.

A creator may own the video but still need permission for:

Background music
Commercial songs
Sound recordings
Compositions and lyrics
Samples
Remixes
Voice recordings

Creators should consider:

The terms of the AI tool used
Whether commercial use is allowed
Whether the output resembles protected characters, brands, people, music, or artwork
Whether a real person’s face, voice, or likeness is used
Whether disclosure is required
Whether the content violates privacy, publicity, or impersonation rules

More information is available in our AI-Generated Content Policy.

Creators should check the licence carefully.

Open licences may require:

Attribution
Linking to the licence
Indicating changes
Non-commercial use only
Share-alike distribution
No derivative works
No endorsement claims

Using open-licensed content incorrectly may still violate the licence or Playflick policies.

17. Public Domain Content

Some content may be in the public domain, but creators should verify this carefully before uploading or monetising it.

Public domain status may vary by country, date, author, publication history, restoration, recording, edition, translation, performance, or related rights.

A public domain composition may still have a protected modern sound recording, performance, image, restoration, or edition.

18. Sublicensing and Third-Party Distribution

If you upload content to Playflick, you must have the authority to grant Playflick the rights needed to operate the service and make the content available according to our Terms of Service.

If your licence does not allow sublicensing, platform hosting, streaming, embedding, monetisation, or distribution through Playflick, you should not upload the content unless you obtain the necessary rights.

19. Content Sold or Licensed Elsewhere

If content is already licensed, sold, distributed, or represented elsewhere, creators should ensure that uploading it to Playflick does not breach any other agreement.

This may include agreements with:

Film distributors
Streaming platforms
Sales agents
Production companies
Music publishers
Record labels
Talent agencies
Sponsors
Advertisers
Other creators or collaborators

20. Rights Disputes

Playflick may receive disputes about who owns, controls, may distribute, may monetise, or may remove content.

Playflick may review available information but may refuse to decide complex private ownership, contract, royalty, licence, or distribution disputes.

Parties may need to resolve disputes privately, contractually, through legal advice, or through appropriate legal channels.

21. Proof of Rights

Playflick may request proof that you have the rights to upload, monetise, sell, rent, advertise, or distribute content.

Proof may include:
