Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and The Bit You Missed (“we”, “us”, “our”). By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use The Bit You Missed.

Who can use The Bit You Missed

You must be at least 16 years old to use The Bit You Missed. By using the app you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account. Let us know promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Free month, plans & cancellation

What you pay for is the catalogue, whole. One subscription covers every film in the app, and nothing is sold per film. There are two plans and no one-off purchase.

You buy a plan inside the app, through the Apple App Store or Google Play. The store you buy through takes the payment, and we never see your card details. This website sells nothing. Your purchase is also subject to that store's own terms, and where they govern billing, renewal or refunds, they apply.

• Free month. Your first 30 days start when you first sign in with Google or Apple, and cost nothing. One free month comes with each Google account or Apple ID, and deleting your account and signing in again does not start another. It needs no card details, nothing is charged when it ends, and no plan starts by itself; the app asks you to choose one before you read on.
• Monthly (99p a month). Renews automatically each month until you cancel.
• Yearly (£9.99 a year). The same access, paid twelve months at a time and renewing annually until you cancel.
• Prices. Those are UK prices. The store shows you the price in your own currency, with any tax, before you confirm.
• Cancelling. You cancel in the subscription settings of the store you bought through: on an iPhone, Settings, then your name, then Subscriptions; on Android, the Play Store, then Payments & subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. Your access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for, and the store will not charge you again after that.
• Refunds. Apple and Google handle refunds for purchases made through their stores, under their own policies, so ask the store first. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable law. If a recap was plainly broken, tell us and we will put it right.
• Price changes. We may change pricing. We, and the store, tell you before a change affects you, and it only takes effect at your next renewal.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, scrape, bulk-download, republish, or resell the recaps, or use them to build or train another product or dataset;
• access the service by automated means, or share your account credentials;
• attempt to disrupt the service, gain unauthorised access to it, or reverse engineer it;
• use the app in any way that breaks the law.

Please also follow the rules of the cinema you are in. Nothing here encourages you to use a phone in an auditorium, and the app is built to be read on your feet, in a corridor, in a few seconds.

Our content and other people’s rights

The recaps are written by us and remain ours. Film titles, artwork, trademarks, and the films themselves belong to their respective owners; we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any studio, distributor, or cinema chain.

Copyright & takedown requests

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe material on The Bit You Missed infringes your copyright, send a notice to theBitYouMissed@outlook.com that includes: identification of the work, a link to the material, your contact details, and a statement that you believe the use is unauthorised. We will respond to valid notices and remove infringing material.

Availability & changes to the service

We work to keep The Bit You Missed available and reliable, but we provide it “as is” and may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Bit You Missed is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose, and in particular we do not warrant that a recap will match the showing you are in.

Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be excluded by law. Subject to that, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss — including a spoiled film — and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or £50.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses, and costs arising from your breach of these terms or of any law.

Termination

You can stop using The Bit You Missed and delete your account at any time. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription; cancel that in the store. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — such as ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — will continue to apply.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above, and for significant changes we will provide a more prominent notice. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland, and the courts of Scotland have jurisdiction, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections available to you where you live.
