Popmelon
Terms
Popmelon is free, early, and run by a small team. These terms are short because the service is simple.
What Popmelon is
A browser extension that keeps two or more people's playback at the same point in a video, with chat and optional voice. It is a synchronised remote control. It does not give you access to anything you could not already watch.
You need your own subscription
Everyone in a party streams from their own Netflix or YouTube account. Popmelon does not provide, unlock, share or redistribute any content, and it does not let you watch anything you are not already entitled to watch. Your use of Netflix and YouTube stays governed by their terms, not ours.
Not affiliated
Popmelon is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Netflix, YouTube, Google or any other streaming service. Their names are used only to say which services the extension works with.
Using it reasonably
Please do not:
- use Popmelon to harass anyone, or to send anyone content they have not asked for
- attempt to capture, record or redistribute protected content
- disrupt the service for other people, or try to break into parties you were not invited to
- use it in a way that breaks the law where you are
A party's invite link is its only key. Anyone you give it to can join, so share it the way you would share a door code.
What you say in a party
Chat messages and voice are yours, and they pass through our relay without being stored. We do not moderate parties and cannot see what was said afterwards — there is no record. You are responsible for what you send, and for who you invite.
No guarantees
Popmelon is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. It is early software that depends on the internals of other companies' video players; those can change without warning and break synchronisation. We do not promise the service will be available, uninterrupted or error free, and we may change or discontinue it.
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from using Popmelon. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
Ending it
You can stop using Popmelon at any time by removing the extension; that is the whole process, since we hold no account for you. We may suspend access for anyone abusing the service or breaking these terms.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Continuing to use Popmelon after that means you accept the revised terms.
