Terms

The ground rules

Last updated 2026-10-21
Idiot Box is a personal project, run for free and by invitation only. By using it — or by accepting an invite to it — you agree to these terms.

What this is

A free tool for keeping watchlists and deciding which streaming services are worth paying for. There are no paid plans and no ads. Accounts exist by invitation only; nobody can sign themselves up.

No warranty

The app is provided as is. Where-to-watch data, prices and scores come from other services and can be wrong or out of date — check with the streaming service before you subscribe or cancel anything. We don't promise the app will always be available, and we can change or shut it down.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for losses from using it, including money spent or saved on subscriptions because of what it suggested.

Using it fairly

  • Keep your password to yourself; one account per person.
  • Don't try to get into accounts, households or data that aren't yours.
  • Don't scrape, overload or attack the service, or use it to pull data in bulk.
  • Don't put anything illegal or abusive in list names, notes or anything else other people can see.

Accounts can be removed

Your household admin, or the operator, can deactivate or delete an account — for breaking these terms, or because the project is changing or ending. We'll try to give notice where we reasonably can. What deleting an account removes is described on the privacy page.

Your stuff

Your lists, ratings and notes are yours. You let us store and show them to the people you share them with, which is the only reason we hold them.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, the date at the top changes too. Keep using the app after that and you're agreeing to the new version.

Data from others

Title data comes from TMDB and where-to-watch data from JustWatch; their own terms apply to that data. See About & credits.
