Terms of Use

Welcome to The Back Row, a place to log what you watch and read and share it with friends. By creating an account or using the site you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.

Who can use it

Anyone can join. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must give consent and the account is reviewed before it opens. You must give accurate details, especially your date of birth, which can’t be changed later.

Your account

Keep your password safe and don’t share your account. You’re responsible for what happens under it. Tell us straight away at thebackrow000@gmail.com if you think someone else has access.

Your content

You own the reviews, ratings, messages and photos you post. You give us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and show them to the people your settings allow, only to run the service. You can delete your content at any time.

Be decent

• No harassment, hate, threats, or sexual content involving minors.
• No illegal content, piracy links, spam or scams.
• Don’t pretend to be someone else or collect other members’ information.
• Mark spoilers as spoilers.
• Don’t try to break, overload, scrape or get around the security of the site.

You can report content or people from the app. We may remove content, or suspend or close accounts, that break these rules.

The service is provided “as is”

This is a personal project offered free of charge. We work to keep it available and your data safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses or for data loss; keep your own copy of anything important (you can export your diary).

Ending

You can stop using the service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may close the service with reasonable notice.

Changes and law

We may update these terms; we’ll change the date above and tell you in the app about important changes. These terms are governed by the laws of India. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data. Questions: thebackrow000@gmail.com.
