Legal

Terms of Service

Effective date: 1 April 2026 · Operator: Oyra Pty Ltd · Governing law: New South Wales, Australia

Questions? legal@oyra.tv

Please read carefully before using Oyra.

These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and Oyra Pty Ltd (“Oyra”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account, purchasing credits, or submitting content, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

1. Eligibility

Oyra is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. By using the platform, you confirm you are at least 18. Users between 13 and 17 may access the platform only with verifiable parental or guardian consent and under their direct supervision. Users under 13 are prohibited from using the platform.

By accepting these Terms, you represent that (a) you are at least 18 years old, or have the required parental consent; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction; and (c) your use of the platform does not violate any applicable law.

2. Accounts

Account creation

Some features (purchasing films, submitting content, maintaining a library) require an account. You may browse and watch 2-minute free previews without an account.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at legal@oyra.tv if you suspect unauthorised access.

Account termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or are used to distribute prohibited content. Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice before termination and an opportunity to respond. Upon termination, any unused credits will be assessed in accordance with the Consumer Protection provisions in Section 3.

3. Credits & Payments

Credit wallet

Oyra uses a pre-paid credit system. You purchase credits in advance and spend them on film access. Credits are denominated in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are non-transferable between accounts unless gifted through the platform's gifting system.

Credit expiry

Credits expire after 24 consecutive months of account inactivity. “Inactivity” means no login, no purchase, and no film access within the rolling 24-month window.

We will notify you by email at 60 days and again at 7 days before expiry. If you log in before the expiry date, the 24-month window resets.

Expired credits cannot be reinstated. We recommend logging in at least once every 24 months to preserve your balance.

No subscription

Oyra does not operate a recurring subscription. Each credit top-up is a single, one-time charge. You will never be charged automatically without explicit action.

Promotional bonuses

Oyra may from time to time offer promotional credit bonuses. Any such bonus will be clearly communicated at the time of the qualifying purchase and is subject to the same 24-month inactivity expiry as all other credits. Bonuses are non-transferable and have no cash value.

Pricing and currency

All prices on the platform are displayed in USD and are GST-inclusive. If you are purchasing from outside the United States, your bank or payment provider may apply currency conversion fees. We are not responsible for such fees.

GST and tax treatment

Display prices include Australian GST (10%) where applicable. The GST component is calculated as 1/11 of the GST-inclusive price. Where you are an Australian consumer and Oyra is required to collect and remit GST, this component is held by Oyra Pty Ltd and remitted to the Australian Taxation Office in accordance with our GST registration status.

Creator, licensor, and coach revenue splits (where applicable) are calculated on the net of GST amount — i.e., the viewer's payment minus the GST component. References to creators receiving “80%” throughout the platform refer to 80% of the net (ex-GST) sale price.

Refunds on credits

Unused credits are generally non-refundable once purchased, except as required by applicable consumer protection law (including the Australian Consumer Law). If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable law, contact legal@oyra.tv within 30 days of the transaction.

4. Film Purchases & Access Rights

What you receive

When you purchase a film using credits, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable personal licence to watch that film once on the Oyra platform. This is not a sale of the film or any ownership interest in it.

Each purchase entitles you to one full viewing of the film. Subsequent viewings are available at a discounted rewatch rate (see Section 3, “Credits & Payments”), unless the film is removed under the circumstances described in Section 5 below.

Device and access

Access is tied to your Oyra account. You may access purchased content from any device on which you are logged in. You may not share your account credentials or allow others to access purchased content through your account.

Free preview

All films include a free 2-minute preview that does not require an account or payment. The preview is provided as a courtesy and may be modified or removed at any time.

5. Content Removal & Refund Policy

Voluntary removal by creator

A creator may request removal of their film from the platform. If you have purchased a film that is subsequently removed at the creator's request, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you and, at our discretion, may offer a credit refund for the purchase price. This refund is not guaranteed and will be assessed case by case.

Involuntary removal — legal, copyright, or policy

No refund will be issued where content is removed due to any of the following:

  • A valid DMCA takedown notice or equivalent copyright claim under applicable law
  • A court order, government directive, or regulatory requirement
  • A violation of our Content Policy (Section 8), including but not limited to prohibited content, illegal material, or non-consensual depictions
  • A credible legal claim of defamation, right of publicity violation, or other third-party intellectual property infringement

This exclusion applies regardless of whether the content passed our automated moderation pipeline at the time of submission. Oyra relies on creator warranties (Section 7) and automated screening; we cannot guarantee that all content is free from third-party claims. By purchasing content on the platform, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

Platform archiving

Content that falls below activity thresholds may be archived (removed from discovery surfaces) but will remain accessible to users who have purchased it. Archiving is not removal and does not affect your access rights. See Section 12 for full archiving policy.

6. EU / UK Consumer Withdrawal Rights

Under EU Directive 2011/83/EU and UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, consumers ordinarily have a 14-day right of withdrawal from digital content purchases. This right is waived when a consumer expressly consents to immediate performance of the contract and acknowledges that the right of withdrawal is thereby lost.

By clicking “Confirm Purchase” on the film purchase screen, you expressly consent to immediate delivery of the digital content and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

This waiver does not affect any other statutory rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law, including rights arising from content that is defective or not as described.

7. Creator Terms

Eligibility to submit

Creators must be 18 or older, hold all necessary rights to distribute their submitted content, and have a valid payout account (PayPal, Stripe, or bank transfer). By submitting a film, you represent that you meet these requirements.

Creator warranties

By submitting content to Oyra, you warrant and represent that:

  • You own or hold a valid licence to all elements of the submitted content, including visuals, audio, music, and any other materials
  • You hold a commercial distribution licence for all AI generation tools used to create the content, and those tools' terms of service permit commercial distribution of outputs
  • The content does not infringe any third-party copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, right of publicity, or other intellectual property right
  • The content does not contain the realistic likeness of any identifiable real person without that person's written consent
  • All audio, including background music, is either original, AI-generated with appropriate commercial rights, or licensed for commercial distribution
  • The content complies with all applicable laws in Australia and in any jurisdiction where it may be distributed
  • The age rating you have applied is accurate

Licence grant to Oyra

By submitting content, you grant Oyra a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, stream, display, reproduce, and distribute your content on the platform and in promotional materials. This licence continues for as long as your content is hosted on Oyra. You retain full copyright and may publish your content elsewhere.

Earnings and payouts

Creators earn 80% of each film's purchase price (ex-GST where applicable). The price the viewer pays is the price of the purchase; rewatches are charged separately at a flat rewatch fee that does not flow to the creator. Payouts are processed on the 1st of each calendar month for earnings accumulated in the prior month. A minimum balance of $50.00 AUD must be reached before a payout is issued; earnings below this threshold roll over to the following month. Balances that have not reached the minimum threshold after 6 months are automatically released in full.

Where a payout is below $100.00 AUD, Stripe's processing fee (approximately $2.00 AUD) will be deducted from the creator's payout. Oyra absorbs processing fees for payouts of $100.00 AUD or more. Payout is via bank transfer (Stripe Connect). Creators are responsible for providing accurate payout details and for any taxes applicable to their earnings in their jurisdiction. Oyra may be required to withhold tax or request tax documentation in certain circumstances.

Oyra reserves the right to withhold or reverse payouts in cases of fraudulent activity, content policy violations, or outstanding indemnification obligations.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Oyra Pty Ltd, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your content; (b) your breach of these Terms or the warranties in this Section; or (c) any third-party claim that your content infringes their rights.

Independent contractor

Creators are independent contractors, not employees, agents, or partners of Oyra. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship. Creators are solely responsible for their own tax obligations.

Strikes and suspension

Content that violates our Content Policy will be removed and a strike issued. Three strikes result in permanent account suspension and, where applicable, referral to relevant authorities. We reserve the right to issue an immediate permanent ban for serious violations, including distribution of illegal content.

8. Acceptable Use & Content Policy

Prohibited content

The following content is strictly prohibited on Oyra:

  • Sexually explicit or pornographic material
  • Content depicting, glorifying, or inciting violence, terrorism, or illegal acts
  • Content that depicts real, identifiable people without their written consent, including AI-generated deepfakes
  • Content targeting or harmful to minors
  • Hate speech, content that incites discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin
  • Content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
  • Disinformation or synthetic media designed to deceive about real-world events
  • Content generated primarily by non-AI means, misrepresented as AI-generated

Viewer conduct

You agree not to: circumvent any access controls or DRM; download, copy, or redistribute content without authorisation; use the platform to harass other users; attempt to reverse-engineer or scrape the platform; or use automated tools to access the platform at scale without written permission.

9. Intellectual Property

All platform software, design, branding, and non-user content is owned by Oyra Pty Ltd and protected by copyright, trademark, and other applicable laws. You may not reproduce, modify, or distribute Oyra's brand assets without written permission.

User-submitted content remains the intellectual property of the submitting creator, subject to the licence granted in Section 7. Oyra makes no claim of ownership over creator content.

10. DMCA & Copyright Takedowns

Reporting infringement

If you believe content on Oyra infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to legal@oyra.tv including:

  • Your contact information (name, address, email, phone)
  • A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
  • The URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing content
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorised
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf
  • Your physical or electronic signature

Counter-notice

If your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to the same email address. We will reinstate content if the counter-notice meets statutory requirements and no court order is obtained within the statutory period.

Safe harbour

Oyra complies with the DMCA safe harbour provisions (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent provisions under Australian copyright law. We promptly act on valid notices and have a repeat-infringer policy.

11. AI Content Disclosure

Oyra is a platform exclusively for AI-generated cinema. All content hosted on the platform is labelled as AI-generated, including the specific AI model used. This labelling is provided as a courtesy to viewers and in compliance with emerging AI disclosure requirements, including the EU AI Act.

Creators must accurately disclose all AI tools used in production. Submitting content generated by undisclosed tools, or misrepresenting the extent of AI generation, is a violation of these Terms and may result in content removal and account suspension.

Oyra does not warrant that AI-generated content is free from third-party intellectual property claims arising from the training data used by AI models. Creators are responsible for ensuring their chosen AI tools' outputs are commercially distributable.

12. Film Archiving & Lifecycle

Archiving criteria

A film may be moved to “archived” status if its view velocity falls below 35% of its peak over a rolling 14-day period. Archived films are removed from discovery surfaces (trending, new releases, search results) but remain accessible to any user who has purchased them.

Notice to creators

Creators will receive email notification 30 days before a film is archived, providing an opportunity to promote the film or contest the archiving decision. Films in the all-time Top 10 by legacy Oyra Score are permanently exempt from archiving.

Purchaser access

Archiving does not affect purchaser access. If you have purchased a film, you retain perpetual access to it through your library regardless of its archiving status, subject only to Section 5 (Content Removal).

Cold storage

Archived films may be transcoded to a lower quality tier (720p) to reduce hosting costs. Original-quality files may not be retained indefinitely. Oyra will make reasonable efforts to maintain watchable quality for all archived purchased content.

13. Limitation of Liability

General limitation

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Oyra Pty Ltd, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the platform.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of Oyra shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to Oyra in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) AUD $100.

Australian Consumer Law

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy you may have under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) or any other applicable consumer protection legislation that cannot be excluded by contract. If the ACL applies to a supply of goods or services by Oyra and the ACL implies a guarantee that cannot be excluded, our liability is limited to resupplying the service or paying the cost of having the service resupplied.

Third-party content

Oyra does not warrant that creator-submitted content is accurate, lawful, free from third-party claims, or of any particular quality. We are a distribution platform and are not responsible for the content of films beyond our stated moderation obligations.

14. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. By using Oyra, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.

We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU/EEA users, and the UK GDPR for UK users. If you are an EU or UK resident, you have additional rights including access, rectification, erasure, and data portability. Contact legal@oyra.tv to exercise these rights.

15. Disputes & Governing Law

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, Australia. You consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales for the resolution of disputes, without prejudice to your rights under mandatory consumer protection laws in your own jurisdiction.

Informal resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at legal@oyra.tv to attempt informal resolution. We will endeavour to respond within 14 business days.

Class action waiver

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against Oyra.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email (if you have an account) and by posting a notice on the platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not accept the revised Terms, you must stop using the platform. Any credits remaining in your wallet at that point will be assessed for refund in accordance with applicable consumer protection law.
