    Introduction

    Welcome to theRec.site, an independently operated software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for browser-based screen recording, video hosting, video sharing, and asynchronous collaboration.

    These Terms & Conditions explain how to use the platform responsibly, outline your rights, and describe how subscriptions and services are managed — so everyone has a clear and fair experience.

    By using the platform or creating an account on theRec.site, you agree to follow these Terms and the related policies, including our Privacy Policy, Copyright Policy, Abuse Reporting Policy, and Refund Policy.

    theRec.site is independently operated and maintained by its founder. The platform is not a marketplace, social network, or public content hosting service. Its primary purpose is private screen recording, controlled video sharing, and team collaboration.

    1. Use of the platform

    theRec.site may only be used for lawful, legitimate purposes and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

    Account holders are fully responsible for all activity under their account, including:

    • Uploaded recordings
    • Shared links
    • Workspace management
    • Access permissions
    • Content posted or distributed through the platform

    You may not use the platform for any of the following:

    • ✕Publishing or sharing malware or disruptive content
    • ✕Infringing intellectual property or copyright
    • ✕Uploading or sharing illegal or abusive content
    • ✕Misusing storage resources or service infrastructure
    • ✕Attempting unauthorized access to the system or user data

    theRec.site may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts that violate these policies or affect platform stability and security. See our Abuse Reporting Policy for additional detail.

    2. Content ownership and privacy

    All recordings, files, and content you upload or create through theRec.site remain entirely yours.

    The platform does not claim ownership of your content. Data is used only as needed to run the service and improve the experience, such as:

    • Processing videos
    • Generating thumbnails
    • Improving playback and streaming quality
    • Managing sharing and access permissions

    theRec.site does not sell your content, monetize it, or share it with third parties.

    You should not upload, publish, or share highly sensitive information unless you are legally authorized to do so.

    This includes, without limitation:

    • Government identification documents
    • Financial records or payment card information
    • Medical records
    • Confidential business information
    • Personal information belonging to third parties

    If such content creates privacy, security, legal, or compliance concerns, theRec.site may remove or restrict access to the content without prior notice. You remain responsible for the legality of content you upload.

    3. Workspaces and sharing

    The platform provides tools to share recordings and organize collaboration within workspaces.

    Workspace administrators are responsible for:

    • Managing member permissions
    • Reviewing privacy settings
    • Controlling link visibility and content access

    When you set a recording to "Public" or "Anyone with the link," you understand that it may become accessible to people outside your workspace.

    Always review sharing settings before publishing any recording that contains private or sensitive information.

    4. Subscriptions and billing

    theRec.site offers free and paid plans with different storage limits and features. Refund eligibility is governed by ourRefund Policy.

    ↑ Upgrading your plan

    When you upgrade to a higher plan, new features take effect immediately. Any price difference may be charged on a prorated basis for the remainder of your current billing cycle.

    ↓ Downgrading your plan

    When you move to a lower plan, your current benefits continue until the end of the paid period. New plan limits apply automatically at the next renewal.

    Renewal and cancellation

    Paid subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel before the next renewal date in your account or Paddle billing portal. Cancellation stops future renewals only; unless a refund is approved under our Refund Policy, access to paid features remains active until the end of the current billing period.

    Paddle as Merchant of Record

    Paid subscriptions are sold by Paddle.com (including Paddle.com Market Limited or an affiliated Paddle entity), which acts as Merchant of Record. Paddle is the seller of record for your purchase, handles payment processing, invoicing, applicable sales tax/VAT, fraud prevention, and payment compliance. Your contract for payment is with Paddle. theRec.site provides the software service and does not store full payment card numbers.

    Charges on your bank or card statement may appear as PADDLE.NET* THEREC, PADDLE, or a similar Paddle billing descriptor. If you do not recognize a charge, contact Paddle support or [email protected] before disputing.

    You may cancel renewal at any time from your account billing settings or the Paddle customer portal linked from your billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period unless a refund is approved.

    If you have a billing issue, contact [email protected] or Paddle first. Unauthorized chargebacks or payment disputes filed without contacting us may result in suspension of paid access while the dispute is reviewed.

    If you are a consumer in the EU/UK, you may have statutory rights including a withdrawal period for certain online purchases. Where Paddle processes your payment, Paddle's buyer terms and applicable consumer law may apply to the transaction. Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived by contract.

    All prices are shown in USD unless stated otherwise at checkout. Paddle may apply local taxes where required.

    5. Service availability

    We work to keep the service stable and fast, with ongoing improvements to infrastructure and the platform.

    However, temporary outages, maintenance, or technical issues beyond our control may occur, including:

    • System updates
    • Hosting or cloud provider outages
    • Urgent security fixes
    • External network issues

    Although we work continuously to minimize downtime, uninterrupted service at all times cannot be guaranteed.

    6. Content moderation

    theRec.site is not obligated to monitor all uploaded content, but reserves the right to review, investigate, restrict, remove, or disable access to any content that may violate laws, policies, intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or platform security requirements.

    When necessary to protect users, legal compliance, or platform integrity, content may be removed, public access disabled, or accounts suspended or permanently terminated. No prior notice is required when immediate action is necessary.

    7. Legal requests and enforcement

    theRec.site may comply with valid legal requests, court orders, regulatory obligations, and law enforcement requirements when legally required to do so, including preservation or disclosure of information associated with accounts or content where permitted by applicable law.

    8. Limitation of liability

    The platform is not liable for indirect losses or damages resulting from:

    • Configuration errors
    • Misuse of your account

    To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid to us (via Paddle) for the service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred US dollars (USD 100), whichever is greater. This does not limit liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

    Nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer rights under EU/UK law.
