Terms of Service

Last updated 6 September 2026 · LinkedOtter LLC

Acceptance

By creating an account or using Flarea you agree to these terms. If you use the service for an organization, you confirm you are authorized to bind it.

The service

Flarea is a live-broadcast / webinar platform provided on an "as available" basis during early access. Features may change. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service.

Your account

Keep your credentials secure; you are responsible for activity under your account. API keys are scoped to your account and revocable. Treat them like passwords and never share them publicly.

Acceptable use

No illegal, infringing, deceptive, hateful, or abusive content; no spam or unlawful messaging; no recording or broadcasting of any person without the consent required in their jurisdiction; no attempts to breach security, scrape at scale, overload, or reverse-engineer the platform; no impersonation. Do not upload or publish content you do not hold the rights to, including recordings of events you did not run. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms, and we may remove or unpublish content that does.

Host responsibilities

If you run events, you are responsible for the people you register or invite and must have a lawful basis to contact them (e.g. their consent). You are the data controller for your attendee list; we are your processor. You must honor unsubscribe requests, which we also enforce globally.

Attendee accounts

If you register for a show yourself directly on Flarea (as opposed to being added by a host from an uploaded contact list), we also set up a free Flarea Watcher profile for you and email you a one-click sign-in link. It is one private place for the events you choose to watch: your registrations, their replays, and your watch progress, at /me at any time. It is a viewer profile only. It never creates a host account, a studio, or event-management access, and you never need it to watch a replay you already have a link to. See our Privacy Policy for how this cross-host profile works and how to export or erase it.

Content & ownership

You retain ownership of content you upload and the recordings and transcripts of your shows. To run the service for you, you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, clip, caption, and deliver that content to you, to the people you invite, and to anyone you share a link with. That license goes no further. It does not let us publish your content, show it to people you have not shared it with, or use it to promote Flarea. Publishing is a separate, opt-in choice, described in the next section. You represent that you have obtained, from every person who appears, speaks, or is recorded in your show (including guests and walk-on participants), all consents and releases necessary for us to capture, store, process, clip, caption, replay, and, where you enable it, stream their audio, video, name, and likeness as part of the service. For any music or other audio you upload or select, you also represent that you hold the synchronization, public-performance, broadcast, recording, clipping, and replay rights needed for your use. Do not upload or broadcast unlicensed music. We own the platform, software, and our brand.

Publishing to the Flarea catalogue

Publishing is opt-in, and you choose it item by item. When you publish a show, replay, clip, or an uploaded back catalogue to Flarea, including when you do so because viewers asked you to, you keep ownership and you grant us an additional worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable license, sublicensable to our service providers and to the viewers, embeds, and sites we deliver to, to host, store, reproduce, encode, adapt for delivery, excerpt, clip, caption, translate, thumbnail, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute that content through Flarea and its apps, embeds, feeds, and viewer libraries, and to use short excerpts to promote that content and Flarea. That license exists so people can find, watch, and share what you published. It does not transfer ownership to us, and it does not let us sell your content as a standalone product. The license attaches to each item at the moment you publish it and is prospective only: uploading or recording something on Flarea does not publish it, and nothing is covered by this section until you choose to publish it. You can unpublish any item at any time. We then stop distributing it and remove it from the catalogue within a commercially reasonable time. Two things outlive unpublishing: copies in routine backups until they age out, and material other people already shared or embedded, which we cannot recall from their pages. Everything in the previous section about consents, likeness, and music applies to published content too. That includes older recordings you upload from before you used Flarea, where the people in them never agreed to anything involving us. If you cannot get those rights, do not publish that recording.

Viewer requests

Viewers can ask us to invite a company to bring its events to Flarea. A request is a signal of interest and nothing more: it is not an endorsement, a partnership, or a claim that the company uses Flarea. When we approach a company we tell them how many people asked. We do not tell them who asked, unless that person has agreed to be named. Any company is free to ignore us, and a request creates an obligation on nobody. If a company later publishes, we may tell the people who asked. You can see and delete your own requests in your library at /me.

AI features

Some features use third-party AI to generate suggestions, summaries, charts, or clips from what you provide. Output may be imperfect. Review it before relying on it. You are responsible for how you use generated content.

Recordings

Recording is host-initiated and indicated to participants. Hosts are responsible for obtaining any consent required in their jurisdiction before recording.

Payment

Paid plans are billed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant processor; card data never touches our servers. Plan pricing and any usage-based charges are presented before you are charged, and metered usage (such as pay-as-you-go show minutes) is billed in arrears for the period in which it was incurred. A free tier may be offered and its limits may change. You can view invoices, update your payment method, or cancel at any time from the billing portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and does not refund amounts already incurred.

Disclaimers & liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties to the extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amounts you paid us in the prior 12 months.

Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LinkedOtter LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) content you upload, broadcast, record, or stream using the service, including any guest audio, video, name, voice, or likeness; (b) your violation of these terms or any law; or (c) your infringement of any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defense with our own counsel.

Copyright & takedown (DMCA)

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices. If you believe content on Flarea infringes your copyright, email copyright@linkedotter.com with: the work claimed to be infringed, the URL or location of the infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act. We will remove or disable access to the material and may terminate repeat infringers' accounts. Counter-notices may be sent to the same address. This applies to published catalogue content as well as to live shows and replays, and an account that repeatedly publishes infringing material loses the ability to publish.

Termination

You may stop using the service anytime. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations or legal reasons. On termination we will delete or return your data as described in the Privacy Policy, and anything you published to the catalogue is unpublished.

Governing law & changes

Flarea is operated by LinkedOtter LLC, a New York limited liability company located at 440 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the exclusive venue for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in the State of New York. We will post material changes here and update the date below. Where a change materially reduces your rights or widens the license you grant us, we will also give notice by email or in the product before it takes effect, and the change applies only from that effective date. These terms are published in several languages for convenience, and the non-English versions are machine-translated. The English version is the authoritative one, and it governs if the versions differ.
