These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of ShortFly and apply to all products and services we provide. By using our services, you acknowledge that you have fully read and accepted all provisions of these Terms. Please pay particular attention to the clauses concerning indemnification and limitations of liability. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our services. Once you access or begin using the services provided by ShortFly, you will be deemed to have fully read and voluntarily agreed to be bound by these Terms.
If you are under the age of 18 or do not have full civil capacity, please read these Terms under the supervision of your guardian and pay particular attention to the provisions relating to minor users. If you fail to comply with this requirement and any adverse consequences arise from your subsequent registration or use of our services, ShortFly will not be liable for such consequences and reserves the right to terminate your access to the relevant services.
Chapter 1 Account Management and Security Responsibilities
I. Account Registration and Login Methods
You may use certain products and services as a guest without registering a formal account. However, we strongly recommend that you log in through Google or another available login method to prevent the loss of guest account data when changing devices or reinstalling the application.
II. Account Security and Safekeeping Obligations
You are responsible for properly safeguarding your account and password information. When you temporarily stop using the services, you are advised to log out in a timely manner.
If your account or password is stolen or misused due to your failure to safeguard it properly, you shall bear the relevant responsibility.
ShortFly shall not be liable for account security issues, unauthorized disclosure of private information, or any resulting losses that are not caused by the fault of ShortFly.
III. Restrictions on Account Use
The rights granted to you under these Terms may not be transferred.
Without our authorization, you may not use any plug-in or third-party tool to interrupt, damage, modify, or otherwise interfere with the normal operation of the services.
Chapter 2 Fees, VIP Membership, and Virtual Currency Rules
I. VIP Membership Benefits and Renewal Mechanism
During the valid membership period, ShortFly VIP members may enjoy all privileges marked with the VIP label free of charge.
If the membership is not renewed within the specified period, the relevant VIP benefits will automatically terminate.
VIP membership is exclusively for the account that purchased it and may not be transferred between different accounts. Giving away, lending, renting, transferring, or selling VIP membership is prohibited.
If any of the above conduct occurs, we may cancel the transferee's VIP membership and related benefits without prior notice. Any resulting losses shall be jointly borne by the transferor and the transferee.
II. Automatic Renewal Service
When you subscribe to the VIP automatic renewal service, you will be deemed to have authorized ShortFly to automatically charge the fee for the next subscription period through the Google Play account linked to your account before each membership period expires.
If the account balance is insufficient, the VIP membership will expire at the end of the current subscription period.
Cancellation of automatic renewal:
You must manually turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period.
The cancellation process is as follows:
Go to Google Play "Home" → select "Payments & Subscriptions" → tap "Subscriptions" → locate ShortFly → open the subscription page → select ShortFly VIP and cancel the subscription.
III. Pricing Adjustments
We reserve the right to modify service pricing standards and related rules based on operational needs.
Different services may use different charging methods, and the same service may also be priced differently at different stages.
If we adjust any price, we will notify you or publish an announcement before the change takes effect.
If you do not agree with the adjusted price, you may stop using the relevant service. If you continue using the service, you will be deemed to have accepted the new pricing standard.
We may also begin charging fees for services that were previously provided free of charge. If you do not agree with such changes, you may stop using the relevant services.
IV. Virtual Currency Top-Up Rules
Our products are purchased using virtual currency, and different products may require different types of virtual currency.
When making a purchase, you must ensure that you use the correct type of virtual currency.
You may not trade virtual currency with other users on the ShortFly platform. Any such transaction constitutes a violation of these Terms.
We reserve the right to take appropriate measures to prevent users from trading virtual currency with one another without prior notice.
Once a top-up has been completed, you may not request any change or modification to that top-up.
Before completing a top-up, you must reconfirm the account details and all other necessary information.
If you top up the wrong account or select the wrong plan due to improper operation or an insufficient understanding of our charging policies, you shall bear any resulting loss and may not seek compensation from ShortFly.
If your account is frozen or terminated because you violated these Terms, you may not request any compensation from us.
V. Platform Failures and Handling of Payment Differences
If a platform failure causes the amount you actually paid to differ from the amount received by ShortFly, we will provide appropriate handling after the relevant data has been restored and you have provided lawful and valid evidence.
If the amount received by us is less than the amount you paid, we will make up the difference.
If the amount received by us is greater than the amount you paid, we reserve the right to recover the excess amount.
VI. Validity Period of Paid Content
Paid chapters subscribed to by you are valid for one month from the date of purchase.
ShortFly only guarantees that you will be able to view the relevant dramas normally during that period.
We shall not be liable for playback failures that occur after the validity period has expired.
Once you subscribe to any drama, you may not request a change or modification to that subscription.
Unless otherwise approved, virtual currency already paid will not be refunded, even if the service is suspended or discontinued, or the relevant drama is removed from the platform.
VII. Advertising
While providing services to you, we may display advertisements or promotional information, including both commercial and non-commercial information, either directly or through authorized third-party advertisers.
We reserve the right to adjust the channels and scope through which such advertisements are displayed.
Even if you have paid for a particular service, you may still be required to receive advertisements. Such advertisements constitute valid consideration for ShortFly to provide comprehensive services to you.
You are responsible for independently assessing the authenticity of advertising information and shall bear responsibility for your own judgment.
Unless otherwise required by law, ShortFly shall not be liable for any loss you suffer as a result of transactions conducted in reliance on advertising content.
