Terms of Service

By accessing or using SUBDL, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the website, accounts, upload tools, download tools, translation tools, or APIs.

SUBDL helps users find, upload, edit, translate, and download subtitle files for movies and TV shows. SUBDL does not provide movies, TV episodes, torrents, streaming links, or video files.

Search results, metadata, language labels, release names, ratings, comments, and subtitle files may come from users, public subtitle communities, automated processing, or SUBDL moderation work.

• You are responsible for the activity that happens through your account, API key, session, or upload access.
• Keep your login details private and protect your API keys. You may provide your own API key to an app you trust for requests made on your behalf. Tell us promptly if you believe your account was accessed without permission.
• We may limit, suspend, or close accounts that violate these terms, create security risk, or abuse other users.

You keep any rights you have in subtitle files, translations, comments, ratings, profile information, and other content you submit. By submitting content to SUBDL, you give SUBDL a worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, store, copy, index, display, translate, edit for formatting, distribute, and make that content available through the service.

Private bulk-translation uploads are not catalogue submissions and are not made public. For those files, you grant only the limited license needed to store, analyze, translate, return, and delete them under the retention periods in our Privacy Policy. Each successful file uses one unit from the separate private-processing allowance attached to your paid plan.

You must not upload, submit, or link to content that:

• You do not own or do not have permission or a lawful basis to share.
• Infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Contains malware, tracking code, credential theft, hidden redirects, spam, or deceptive links.
• Includes video files, movie files, TV episode files, torrents, or links intended to access unauthorized copies.
• Harasses, threatens, impersonates, or exposes private personal information about another person.

Copyright owners can request removal of allegedly infringing material through our DMCA and Copyright Policy. We may remove or disable reported material, block duplicates, restrict upload access, and terminate repeat infringers.

You are responsible for how you use any subtitle file downloaded from SUBDL. A subtitle may be protected by copyright or other laws even when it is easy to download. Do not use SUBDL to infringe anyone's rights or to access unauthorized video copies.

You may use the SUBDL API in commercial apps, websites, and services with an active paid plan, subject to that plan's API allowances and these terms. A free API key must not be used as a shared key to power a commercial service for its users.

Alternatively, your app may let each user bring their own API key, including in a commercial app. Direct users to create or sign in to their own SUBDL account and obtain their API key, then enter it in your app. Each user may use a free or paid plan, and requests made with their key count toward their own account's allowances. Use each key only for that user; do not pool keys, share them between users, or use them to bypass limits. Protect users' keys and do not ask for their SUBDL passwords.

See our API documentation and paid plans for setup and allowances. Permission to use the API commercially does not grant ownership of subtitle files or any rights beyond those held by their respective rights holders.

• Follow published API documentation, rate limits, authentication rules, and caching rules.
• Do not bypass technical limits, overload the service, scrape in a way that harms availability, or resell access without permission.
• We may throttle, suspend, rotate, or revoke API access when usage risks service stability, security, or compliance.

SUBDL may offer paid plans, API access, translation quotas, or other paid features. Prices, limits, renewals, and refund handling may be shown during checkout or in the relevant product page. We may change paid features prospectively, but changes will not intentionally remove access you already paid for during the active paid period unless required for abuse, security, legal, or payment-risk reasons.

We may remove content, change metadata, hide pages, limit downloads, block uploads, or modify features to protect users, comply with law, respond to abuse reports, improve quality, or keep the service available. We do not guarantee that any subtitle, page, account, API, or feature will always be available.

SUBDL is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not promise that subtitle files are accurate, complete, synchronized, lawful for your use, secure, or free from errors. To the maximum extent allowed by law, SUBDL is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost content, or service interruption.

We may update these terms from time to time. The updated date on this page shows when the current version took effect. Continued use of SUBDL after changes means you accept the updated terms.
