Terms of Service

Last updated: [effective date] · Draft of 26 September 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and [legal name of the operator] ("Phantom Stream", "we", "us") for your use of Phantom Stream, the website at phantomstream.io and the live studio, guest pages, multistreaming and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account, joining a studio, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. The Service

Phantom Stream lets you run a live show from your browser: invite guests and co-hosts by link, arrange them on stage with layouts, overlays and tickers, and broadcast the result to one or more streaming platforms. We are continually improving the Service, so features may be added, changed or removed. Some features — including Multistream and paid plans — may be offered in preview before they are finished.

Live video depends on your devices, network and browser, and on the platforms you stream to. We don't guarantee that any particular show will be delivered without interruption.

2. Accounts and eligibility

• You must be at least [13] years old (or the minimum age of digital consent where you live, if higher) to use the Service, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live to buy a paid plan. Guests who join a studio by link without an account are bound by these terms too.
• Give accurate information, keep your password secure, and tell us promptly if you think someone else has accessed your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• We may require an account to be approved before it can host studios, and may decline or revoke approval.
• If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.

3. Your content

"Your content" means everything you or your guests bring to the Service: audio, video, screen shares, chat, names, photos, images, titles, layouts and anything else you broadcast or upload.

• You keep ownership of your content.
• You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, transmit, display and relay your content only as needed to operate the Service for you — for example to show your camera to the people in your studio and to deliver your broadcast to the destinations you choose. This licence ends when your content is removed from the Service, except for broadcasts already delivered to third-party platforms, which are governed by those platforms' terms.
• You confirm you have the rights and permissions needed for your content, including music, video and images you play or share on stage.
• We don't record your shows and don't claim any right to use your content for advertising.

4. If you host a show

As the host of a studio you decide who is invited, who goes on stage and where the show is broadcast. You are responsible for:

• telling your guests and co-hosts that the show may be broadcast publicly, and getting any consent the law requires before you broadcast or record them;
• the content of your show, including what your guests say and share while on your stage;
• using the moderation tools (mute, remove, ban) responsibly, and the moderation records your studio keeps;
• following the rules of every platform you broadcast to.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Service to:

• break the law, or help anyone else to;
• share content that sexually exploits or endangers children — we report such content to the authorities;
• harass, threaten, dox or incite violence or hatred against anyone;
• broadcast or share content you don't have the rights to, or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or publicity rights;
• impersonate a person or organisation, or mislead people about who you are;
• send spam, malware, or deceptive links;
• interfere with the Service or other users' shows — for example by probing, scanning or attacking our systems, overloading them, or circumventing bans, plan limits or security measures;
• scrape, copy or resell the Service, or access it by automated means other than the tools we provide (such as the OBS browser-source link);
• break the terms of any platform you stream to.

We may remove content, end a live session or restrict an account that we reasonably believe breaks these rules.

6. Third-party platforms and YouTube

The Service can connect to and send your broadcast to third-party platforms. Those platforms are operated by other companies under their own terms and policies, which apply to your use of them. We aren't responsible for their services, and we can't control or undo actions they take on your account (such as copyright strikes, takedowns or suspensions).

YouTube. Phantom Stream uses YouTube API Services. By connecting a YouTube channel, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service, and you acknowledge the Google Privacy Policy. You can revoke Phantom Stream's access to your YouTube account at any time at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

Other platforms. By connecting or streaming to Twitch, Kick, Facebook or another platform, you agree to follow that platform's terms, for example the Twitch Terms of Service, Kick Terms of Service and Meta Terms of Service.

7. Stream keys and connected accounts

When you add a channel to Multistream, you authorise us to store the stream key you enter, or the access we receive when you connect the platform account, and to use it to deliver your stream and set its title, description and category whenever you (or software you configure with your Phantom Stream ingest key) go live. We store these secrets encrypted, as described in the Privacy Policy. Keep your Phantom Stream ingest key private: anyone who has it can stream to your enabled channels. You can reset it, remove a channel, or revoke a connection at any time.

8. Plans, billing and refunds

This section applies once paid plans are offered. [Owner decision: confirm prices, billing periods, trial terms and the refund policy below before enabling payments.]

• Paid service. Phantom Stream is a paid service. There is no free plan.
• Paid plans are billed in advance, [monthly or yearly], through our payment processor Stripe, and renew automatically until cancelled. Prices are shown before you buy and exclude taxes unless stated.
• Cancel any time from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Afterwards you can no longer host.
• Refunds. [Proposed:] Payments are non-refundable and we don't give refunds or credits for partial periods, except where the law requires it, or where you were charged in error or the Service was substantially unavailable because of us — contact us within [14] days of the charge and we'll make it right. If you are a consumer in a country that gives you a right to cancel, that right applies.
• Failed payments. If a payment fails and isn't fixed after reasonable notice, we may stop your access to hosting.
• Price changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance and apply from your next renewal.

9. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to admin@thechristianking.com with: your contact details; the work you believe is infringed; where the infringing material is (for example the studio link and time); a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. [If relying on the US DMCA safe harbour, register a designated agent with the US Copyright Office and name them here.] We will end the accounts of repeat infringers where appropriate. Most shows are broadcast to third-party platforms; for content on those platforms, use their own copyright process.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if the law requires it, or if your use creates a risk or legal exposure for us or other users. Where reasonable we will tell you why and give you a chance to fix the problem first. If we end the Service entirely we will give reasonable notice and refund any prepaid, unused paid period. Sections 3 (licence to delivered broadcasts), 6 and 9–14 survive termination.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties, express or implied, including of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, audience, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and [US $50]. These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

13. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against us because of your content, your show, or your breach of these terms or of the law, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs arising from that claim, to the extent the law allows.

14. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of [state / country], and disputes will be handled in the courts of [venue], except that if you are a consumer you may also rely on the mandatory laws of, and bring proceedings in, the place where you live. Before starting any formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new date and, for material changes, tell you by email or in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new terms apply; if you don't agree, you can delete your account.

These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not transfer these terms without our consent; we may transfer them as part of a merger or sale of the Service.
