This Moderation Policy explains how Playflick™ Media .ltd may review, restrict, remove, label, age-restrict, demonetise, suspend, terminate, or otherwise moderate content, accounts, comments, livestreams, ads, paid content, creator features, and other activity on Playflick.com.

Playflick is a video discovery and creator platform for independent entertainment, short films, trailers, creators, and community videos.

The surrounding context
Whether the content is educational, documentary, newsworthy, artistic, satirical, or commentary
Whether the content targets, harms, exploits, or endangers others
Whether children or vulnerable people are involved
Whether the content is monetised or paid
Whether the content is advertised or promoted
Whether there are copyright, trademark, privacy, or legal concerns

Severe content may include:

9. Age Restriction and Reduced Visibility

Playflick may age-restrict or reduce the visibility of content that may be unsuitable for younger users or broader audiences, even if the content is not removed entirely.

This may apply to content involving:

Mature themes
Strong language
Distressing content
Non-graphic violence
Medical or sensitive educational content
Adult themes without explicit sexual content
Horror, fear, or disturbing scenes
Dangerous activities shown with context

Age restriction or reduced visibility is not a guarantee that content will remain available. Content that breaches Playflick rules may still be removed.

We may disable monetisation, restrict paid content, withhold earnings, reverse payments, or issue refunds where content or activity involves:

Copyright infringement
Fake views or artificial engagement
Invalid traffic
Fraud
Chargebacks or refund abuse
Misleading paid content
Unsafe or prohibited content

Use prohibited or unsafe claims
Target children inappropriately
Promote illegal goods or services
Contain malware or phishing
Infringe copyright or trademarks
Use deceptive landing pages
Breach Playflick’s Advertising Policy

12. Copyright, Trademark, and Rights Moderation

Playflick may moderate content, accounts, usernames, channel names, thumbnails, ads, or paid content in response to copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, impersonation, or other rights-related complaints.

Actions may include removal, restriction, demonetisation, account enforcement, username changes, or other measures depending on the complaint and available evidence.

Repeated violations may lead to stronger enforcement.

Repeat violations may include:

Repeated copyright complaints

Where appropriate, Playflick may notify users about moderation decisions.

Notices may include:

The type of action taken
The content or account affected
The policy involved
Whether an appeal may be available

Other enforcement where appropriate

18. Moderation Is Not Perfect

Playflick aims to apply policies fairly and responsibly, but moderation is not perfect.

Mistakes may happen. Some violating content may remain available for a period before being detected, and some content may be removed or restricted incorrectly.

Appeals and user reports help us improve moderation decisions over time.

19. No Obligation to Host Content

Playflick is not required to host, display, recommend, monetise, promote, preserve, or continue making available any content, account, ad, livestream, comment, paid feature, or creator tool.

Playflick may remove, restrict, or discontinue content or features where we believe it is necessary for safety, legal compliance, rights protection, platform integrity, business operations, or user protection.

20. Record Keeping

Playflick may keep records of reports, reviews, removals, restrictions, warnings, appeals, suspensions, copyright complaints, trademark complaints, payment holds, and other moderation actions.

Records may be kept for:

Policy enforcement
Appeals
Repeat violation tracking
Fraud prevention
Safety investigations

Our handling of personal data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

21. Changes to This Moderation Policy

We may update this Moderation Policy from time to time.
