LIGHTDANCE / LEGAL

User Service Agreement

The terms for accessing LIGHTDANCE stories, studio information and associated short-drama services.

Effective: Last updated:

Shanghai Guangying Tiaodong Technology Co., Ltd. (上海光影跳动科技有限公司), a company registered in Shanghai, People's Republic of China, operates under the brand LIGHTDANCE ("we", "us" or "our"). The English company name is a translation for convenience; the Chinese name identifies the registered legal entity.

Please read this Agreement before using the Services, including the scope of your viewing permission, limits on availability and your legal rights. If you do not agree to applicable terms, do not use the affected Services. Any express acceptance required by law will be requested separately.

1. Definitions and scope

This User Service Agreement ("Agreement") sets out the terms for using our website at guangyingtiaodong.com, its www subdomain, and any LIGHTDANCE short-drama mini program that expressly links to this Agreement (together, the "Services"). A "Mini Program" means an associated application made available within a third-party platform such as TikTok.

"Content" includes our drama excerpts, films, AI-assisted audiovisual works, artwork, text and other materials presented through the Services. "You" means the person using the Services, or the organization that person is authorized to represent.

Feature-specific terms: the website currently provides a studio portfolio, playable excerpts and an email contact channel. Clauses concerning platform accounts, rewarded advertisements or viewing records apply only to a Mini Program where those features are actually offered. A separate written production or licensing contract governs commissioned work.

2. Services and eligibility

You may browse information about our studio and view the excerpts made available through the player. Excerpts are selected samples; a preview does not promise access to a complete episode, series or future release.

Where a Mini Program offers rewarded-ad access, the interface will explain which content is unlocked, the required action and any access limits before you choose to participate. This Agreement does not authorize a charge, subscription or automatic renewal. Any future paid feature requires clear pricing and the agreement required for that transaction.

You must have the legal capacity to use the Services and agree to these terms. If you are under 18, use is permitted only where local law and the host platform allow it, with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian. Do not access age-restricted material unless you meet its requirements.

You are responsible for your internet connection and associated data charges. If you act for a business, you must have authority to do so.

3. Platform accounts and permissions

No account is required to browse the current website. If an associated Mini Program uses platform sign-in, authentication is handled through that platform's supported authorization process. We do not ask for your TikTok password.

Keep your platform credentials secure, provide accurate information when contacting us, and report suspected misuse through the platform's support channel and our contact email. Do not buy, sell, lend or impersonate another person's account. Responsibility for unauthorized activity depends on the circumstances and applicable law; an account incident does not remove our responsibility for our own failures.

Permission requests and their purposes must be presented in the relevant feature. You can decline optional permissions, although a feature that depends on that permission may be unavailable.

4. Your rights and responsibilities

You may use the Services for lawful viewing and to evaluate potential collaboration with LIGHTDANCE. You may ask questions, make suggestions, report technical problems and exercise the privacy rights described in our Privacy Policy.

When using the Services, you must not:

  • Attack the website, introduce malware, overload infrastructure, or attempt to access another person's data or restricted systems.
  • Bypass content-access controls or remove rights notices, attribution or AI-content labels.
  • Reproduce, repackage, sell or redistribute protected Content without permission, except where applicable law permits the use.
  • Use our materials to impersonate someone, mislead an audience, harass a person or infringe intellectual property, image, privacy or other rights.
  • Submit unlawful material or confidential information belonging to others without authority.

Nothing here restricts lawful criticism, statutory exceptions to intellectual property rights, or other rights that cannot be waived.

5. Our operation of the Services

We may update our portfolio, change available features or remove material when rights expire, an error is found, or legal, security or operational reasons require it. We aim to address credible reports and maintain reasonable availability, but uninterrupted access is not guaranteed.

We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address misuse, protect others or comply with law. Where appropriate and legally permitted, we will explain the restriction and provide an opportunity to contact us about it.

Our Content is presented for entertainment and demonstration. AI-assisted scenes can contain fictional characters, simulated events and visual imperfections; they should not be treated as records of real events or professional advice. Please report suspected rights violations or misleading presentation to Yang Chen at tianbusinesscn@gmail.com.

6. Intellectual property and viewing license

Rights in the Services and Content belong to LIGHTDANCE or the relevant creators, licensors and other rights holders, to the extent protected by applicable law. Access grants a limited, non-exclusive permission to view available material through the Services for the permitted purposes. It does not transfer ownership or grant rights to distribute a drama, reuse a soundtrack or use a person's likeness.

Business licensing, production services and reuse of our brand require a separate agreement. If you believe material infringes your rights, send the relevant page or video reference, a description of the right involved, supporting information and a way to contact you. We will review the report and take appropriate action.

You retain rights in materials you send to us. Sending a business inquiry permits us to review and respond to it; it does not grant us a general right to publish your materials or use them to train an AI model.

7. Availability and responsibility

Network outages, maintenance, device limitations, platform changes and events outside reasonable control can affect playback or availability. We will take reasonable steps to address problems within our control. Third-party platforms and linked websites operate under their own terms.

To the extent permitted by law, the free demonstration Services are provided as available, without a promise that every excerpt will remain available or satisfy a particular production requirement. Any agreed deliverables or warranties for commissioned work belong in the relevant project contract.

Each party remains responsible for its own unlawful conduct and breach of duties. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude, including liability for fraud, intentional wrongdoing or other protected claims, or removes mandatory consumer rights.

8. Changes and ending use

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may revise this Agreement to reflect changes in the Services or legal requirements. The revised text and effective date will appear on this page; material changes will receive additional notice and consent where required by law. Changes do not retrospectively remove rights that have already arisen.

If you do not agree with revised terms, you may stop using the affected Services. We may discontinue a feature or terminate access for the reasons described above, subject to applicable law and any separate contract.

Ending use does not automatically erase records we lawfully need to retain. Personal information is handled according to the retention and deletion provisions in our Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature continue after use, including intellectual property and accrued rights, remain applicable to the extent permitted by law.

9. Applicable law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, subject to any mandatory protections and conflict-of-law rules that apply to you. If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of protections or access to courts that the law requires in your place of residence.

Please contact us so we can attempt to resolve a concern. Either party may bring a dispute before a court with jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement requires a waiver of rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent allowed by law. A separate signed project agreement takes precedence for the specific production or licensing matters it covers.
