Terms of Use

Effective date: September 10, 2026

Updated September 10, 2026: these Terms were rewritten to cover subscriptions and free trials, account deletion, platform-specific terms and your rights as a consumer. See section 16 if you do not agree to a change.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Skipifi LLC, a California limited liability company ("Skipifi", "we", "us", "our"), and govern your use of the Skipifi apps for phones and TVs, the website at https://skipifi.com, and related services (together, the "Services"). By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information when you use the Services.

1. What Skipifi does

Skipifi helps you skip and mute content you do not want to see or hear — such as nudity, sexual content, violence and profanity — in movies and shows you watch through your own streaming services. The Skipifi TV app runs on your Google TV or Android TV and acts as a remote control: at moments identified in our database, it sends the same skip-forward and mute commands you could send from your own remote. The Skipifi phone app pairs with the TV app over your local network, shows what is playing, lets you choose a sensitivity level, browse titles and content information, and cancel individual skips.

Skipifi does not host, stream, store, copy, modify or distribute any movie, show or other third-party content. Playback happens entirely within the streaming services you subscribe to, on your own devices. You need your own accounts with those services, a compatible TV, and a network connection; we do not provide them and are not responsible for them.

2. Eligibility and young users

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are a minor where you live, your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, including any purchases. The Services may not be used by children under 13, and we do not knowingly allow them to create accounts. Parents and guardians can manage purchases through the family controls offered by Apple and Google.

The Services are available in the countries where Apple and Google make the apps available. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you.

3. Your account

To use most features you need an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your password confidential, tell us promptly of any unauthorised use, and take responsibility for activity under your account. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms. You can delete your account at any time as described in section 6.

4. Subscriptions, free trials and billing

Plans and prices. Skipifi's filtering features require a paid subscription. The plans available, their prices, billing periods and any free trial are shown in the app and in the App Store or Google Play at the time of purchase, and may vary by country and change over time.

Free trials. Where a free trial is offered, it is available once per Apple or Google account. You will not be charged during the trial; unless you cancel before it ends, your subscription starts and you are charged the plan price for the first billing period.

Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price, until you cancel. You will be charged through your Apple or Google account within 24 hours before the start of each new period.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. After cancelling, you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting your Skipifi account or the app does not cancel your subscription.

Refunds. Purchases are made through Apple or Google, and refunds are handled under their policies. Where the law gives you rights that these policies do not — including any statutory right to cancel a purchase within 14 days — those rights are unaffected and are exercised through Apple or Google as the seller.

Price changes. If we change the price of your plan, you will be notified in advance in accordance with Apple's or Google's rules, and you can cancel before the change takes effect.

Changes to features. We may add, change or remove features, and the titles and streaming services we support will change over time. We aim to give notice of material reductions to a plan you have paid for.

5. Platform terms

Apple. If you use the Services on an Apple device, the following applies in addition to these Terms:

• These Terms are between you and Skipifi only, not Apple. Skipifi, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Your licence to use the app is limited to a non-transferable licence to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the App Store Terms of Service, except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Skipifi, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support.
• Skipifi is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Skipifi's sole responsibility.
• Skipifi, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
• If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Skipifi, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of the claim.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app, such as your streaming services' terms and your wireless data service agreement.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of them, may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• Skipifi's contact details for questions, complaints or claims are in section 15.

Where Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the app licence, it governs that licence; these Terms govern the Services in all other respects.

Google Play. If you obtained the app from Google Play, your purchase is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the app or the Services. Subscriptions purchased through Google Play are billed, managed and refunded through Google Play.

6. Deleting your account

You can delete your account in the iPhone app under Settings → Delete Account (also available on the subscription screen), or on Android, Android TV and Google TV by requesting deletion at skipifi.com/contact-us or by emailing privacy@skipifi.com from your account's email address. Deletion is permanent. It does not cancel a subscription, which you must cancel with Apple or Google as described in section 4.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to: use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in a way that violates the terms of a streaming service; interfere with or disrupt the Services or their security; access the Services by automated means or attempt to extract our database; reverse engineer, decompile or copy the apps except where the law allows; resell or commercially exploit the Services; impersonate others; or submit content that is unlawful, offensive or infringes others' rights.

8. Your content

You keep ownership of ratings, comments, feedback and other content you submit. You grant Skipifi a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use it to operate and improve the Services, including to improve the accuracy of our content database. You are responsible for what you submit. We may remove content that violates these Terms.

9. Intellectual property

The Services, including the apps, website, software, designs, our database of content markers and all related intellectual property, are owned by Skipifi or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the apps for your personal, non-commercial use.

Skipifi does not own and claims no rights in the movies, shows or other media you watch. All rights in that content belong to their respective owners. Title information and artwork are provided by The Movie Database (TMDB); this product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

Copyright complaints. If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@skipifi.com including: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material claimed to be infringing and its location; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorised to act for the copyright owner. We may remove material and close the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Accuracy of filtering

Our content markers are created by automated analysis and refined with human review and user feedback. We do not guarantee that every instance of a given type of content will be skipped or muted, or that nothing else will be. Timing may vary between streaming services, devices and versions of a title, and streaming services may change in ways that affect the Services. Skipifi is a tool to help you control your viewing; you remain responsible for deciding what is appropriate for you and your household. You can adjust or disable filtering at any time in the app, and report inaccuracies to us.

11. Third-party services

The Services depend on third-party streaming services, devices, networks and platforms that we do not control. Their availability, terms and behaviour may change at any time, and we are not responsible for them or for any action they take in relation to your use of the Services. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that content will be filtered completely or accurately.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law: Skipifi and its officers, employees and affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Services; and our total liability for all claims relating to the Services in any twelve-month period is limited to the amount you paid us for the Services in that period, or USD 100 if you have paid nothing.

Your legal rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, you keep the rights those laws give you, and the disclaimers and limitations above apply only to the extent they allow.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Skipifi and its officers, employees and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your infringement of any third party's rights. This section does not apply to consumers to the extent local law prohibits it.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will first be submitted to mediation and, if unresolved, to binding arbitration under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), on an individual basis; to the extent permitted by law, you and Skipifi waive any right to bring claims as a class, collective or representative action. Nothing in this section prevents you from seeking public injunctive relief in court where applicable law requires. If any part of this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court and the rest of this section will still apply to all other claims. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, and the parties cannot agree on a substitute, either party may bring the claim in court. You may opt out of arbitration and the class-action waiver by emailing legal@skipifi.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out does not affect any other provision. Either party may bring individual claims in small-claims court. The courts of San Francisco, California will be the exclusive forum for any matter not subject to arbitration.

If you are a consumer in the EU or UK, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

Contact. For questions, complaints or claims: Skipifi LLC, 1043 Garland Ave Unit C #1337, San Jose, CA 95126, USA — legal@skipifi.com.

16. Changes to the Services and these Terms

We may change the Services at any time. We may also change these Terms; if we make material changes, we will give notice in the app, on our website or by email at least 30 days before they take effect, unless a change is required sooner by law. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using the Services and cancel any subscription before they take effect. Your continued use after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

17. General

Termination. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or where required by law; sections that by their nature should survive will survive termination. Notices. We may notify you by email to the address on your account or through the Services. Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Skipifi about the Services and supersede any earlier agreements.
