Terms & Conditions

1. About this site

Drunk Movie Database ("DMDB", "we", "us", "our") is a community-driven entertainment website operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom. The site allows registered users to rate films according to a humorous "drinkability" scale — that is, how many alcoholic drinks they personally felt were required to enjoy a particular film.

By accessing or using this website at drunkmoviedatabase.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Age requirement

You must be at least 18 years old to register an account or submit content on this Site. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older.

Because this site contains references to alcoholic beverages, it is not suitable for persons under the age of 18. If we become aware that a user is under 18, their account will be suspended immediately.

3. User accounts

To submit ratings or movie suggestions, you must register a free account. When registering you agree to:

• Provide accurate and truthful information
• Keep your password confidential and not share your account with others
• Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised
• Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently delete accounts at our discretion, including for inactivity, breach of these Terms, or behaviour that we consider harmful to the community.

You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us. Account deletion will result in the removal of your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your submitted ratings may be anonymised and retained for statistical purposes.

4. User-generated content

Your content, your responsibility

When you submit a rating, review, comment, or any other content to DMDB ("User Content"), you retain ownership of that content. However, by submitting it, you grant DMDB a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display, store, and distribute that content on the Site and in promotional materials.

Our role as a platform

DMDB acts as a hosting platform for User Content. We are not the author or publisher of User Content submitted by users. In accordance with the UK Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, we are not liable for User Content provided we act promptly to remove content when we receive valid notification that it is unlawful.

If you believe any content on the Site infringes your rights, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.

Content standards

All User Content must be your honest personal opinion, relate to the film being rated, and comply with all applicable UK laws.

User Content must not:

• Be defamatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive
• Contain hate speech targeting any individual or group
• Infringe any third party's copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
• Contain spam, advertising, or promotional material not authorised by us
• Contain sexually explicit content of any kind
• Encourage or glorify dangerous or illegal drinking behaviour
• Contain personal information about identifiable individuals without their consent
• Be deliberately false or misleading

5. Movie submissions

Registered users may suggest films to be added to the DMDB database. All submissions are subject to review and approval by our moderation team before appearing on the Site.

By submitting a film suggestion, you confirm that the film is a genuine publicly released work, that you are not submitting pornographic or otherwise harmful content, and that you are not promoting a film in which you have an undisclosed commercial interest.

We reserve the right to reject any submission without explanation. Repeated submission of inappropriate content will result in account suspension.

6. Prohibited conduct

When using the Site, you must not:

• Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to submit ratings, create accounts, or scrape data
• Attempt to manipulate ratings, rankings, or leaderboards artificially
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent a ban or suspension
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site or its infrastructure
• Upload or transmit malware, viruses, or any other harmful code
• Impersonate any person, organisation, or DMDB staff
• Harvest other users' personal information

7. Moderation and bans

We operate a moderation queue for movie submissions and reserve the right to edit or remove any User Content at any time without notice. Accounts may be suspended or permanently banned for breaching these Terms, submitting spam or malicious content, or abusive behaviour toward other users or the moderation team.

We are under no obligation to provide reasons for moderation decisions, though we will try to do so where reasonable. Bans are at our sole discretion.

8. Liability and disclaimers

No warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DMDB and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site. We are not liable for any loss of data, interruption of service, or errors in content.

User content disclaimer

Ratings and reviews represent the personal opinions of individual users only. DMDB does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for any User Content.

9. Intellectual property

The DMDB name, logo, and original site design are the property of the site operator. You may not reproduce or use these without our written permission.

Film titles, posters, and metadata displayed on the Site are used for identification and commentary purposes only. Movie data is sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB) API under their terms of service. DMDB does not claim ownership of any third-party intellectual property.

If you believe content on this Site infringes your copyright, please contact us with full details and we will respond promptly.

10. Third-party links and services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites such as streaming platforms or affiliate retail links. We have no control over third-party sites and accept no responsibility for them.

Some links on this Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase. This does not affect the price you pay, and affiliate relationships do not influence ratings or rankings on this Site.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
