3. Definitions

  • “User”: any person accessing the Service.
  • “Account”: the personal space created upon registration.
  • “Subscription” (SVOD): unlimited access to the catalogue for a recurring payment.
  • “Rental” (TVOD): temporary access to a single piece of content for a one-off payment.
  • “Content”: the movies, series, trailers and other audiovisual works offered.

4. Account, registration and minimum age

Creating an account requires accurate, up-to-date information. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity carried out from your account.

The Service is reserved for persons with the legal capacity to contract. It is not intended for children under 13; minors may only use it under the responsibility of a holder of parental authority.

An account may include several profiles for the holder's household. Sharing credentials outside the household is prohibited.

5. Description of the Service

CINAF.TV is a streaming platform dedicated to African cinema, offering subscription access (SVOD) and per-title rental (TVOD).

The catalogue changes over time: the availability of a piece of content may vary depending on distribution rights and your geographic area. Some content may be unavailable in certain countries.

Playback quality depends on your connection, your device and factors beyond our control. Constant, uninterrupted streaming quality is not guaranteed.

6. Subscriptions, prices and payment

Prices

Prices are shown inclusive of all taxes (applicable VAT included), in the displayed currency, before you confirm the order.

Payment methods

Payment is made through our secure providers, depending on the methods available in your country:

  • Bank card (via Stripe)
  • PayPal
  • Mobile money (via MonetBil)
  • Apple Pay / Google Pay
  • In-app purchases via the stores (App Store / Google Play)

Subscription and automatic renewal

The subscription is entered into for the chosen period and renews automatically at the end of each term, at the applicable rate, until cancelled.

The amount is charged at the start of each period. You can turn off renewal at any time from your settings; access remains active until the end of the period already paid for.

Rental (TVOD)

A rental grants access to a piece of content for a defined period, shown before purchase. It does not renew automatically.

7. Right of withdrawal

In accordance with the Belgian Code of Economic Law (Article VI.47), consumers are in principle entitled to a fourteen (14) day period to withdraw from a distance purchase.

However, the Service consists in the supply of digital content not delivered on a tangible medium. In accordance with Article VI.53, 13° of the Code of Economic Law, the right of withdrawal does not apply once performance has begun with your prior express consent and your acknowledgement that you thereby lose that right.

By starting playback of any content (subscription or rental) before the end of the fourteen-day period, you expressly request immediate performance of the Service and acknowledge that you waive your right of withdrawal for the content concerned.

8. Termination

By the user

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period; no pro-rata refund is due for the period already started, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

By the publisher

We may suspend or terminate your account in the event of a breach of these Terms, fraudulent use or infringement of third-party rights, where applicable after notice that has remained without effect.

9. Intellectual property and licence of use

All content and elements of the Service are protected by intellectual property law and remain the property of their respective holders (producers, rights holders, publisher).

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access the Service and view the content, strictly within the private setting of your household.

The following are prohibited:

In the event of a lack of conformity, you have the rights provided by law, including bringing the Service into conformity and, where applicable, a price reduction or termination of the contract.

15. Liability

We cannot be held liable for damage resulting from misuse of the Service, a fault in your equipment or connection, or an event of force majeure.

These clauses do not limit our liability in the event of fraud, gross negligence, harm to life or physical integrity, or in cases where the law prohibits it. The consumer's mandatory rights remain reserved.

16. Changes to the Terms

We may amend these Terms to reflect legal, technical or commercial changes to the Service. The applicable version is the one in force at the time of use.

In the event of a substantial change, we will inform you by an appropriate means (email or notification). Continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance; otherwise, you may terminate.
