1. About FTA Channel
FTA Channel is a technology platform dedicated to the organization, indexing, curation, discovery, and categorization of Free-To-Air ("FTA") television channels and publicly accessible audiovisual streams available on the internet. FTA Channel does not create, own, license, broadcast, retransmit, rebroadcast, host, store, or distribute third-party television signals or copyrighted audiovisual content.
FTA Channel functions solely as an aggregation and discovery service that connects users to publicly available streams published or authorized by their respective official content owners, broadcasters, distributors, institutions, or authorized representatives. All audiovisual streams accessed through the Platform are delivered directly from the original source or its authorized distribution infrastructure. FTA Channel merely facilitates discovery, organization, categorization, and user access.
2. Eligibility
To use the Platform, you must:
- be at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction;
- possess legal capacity to enter binding agreements;
- provide accurate and complete registration information.
By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.
3. Subscription Service
FTA Channel operates under a recurring subscription model. Current subscription fee: USD 1.00 (one United States Dollar) per month. This fee is charged exclusively for:
- content discovery tools;
- platform maintenance;
- channel organization;
- metadata processing;
- search capabilities;
- software infrastructure;
- automated catalog updates;
- technical support;

The subscription fee is not payment for channel content, broadcasting rights, or signal licensing. Users are paying solely for access to the FTA Channel platform and its technology services.
4. Billing and Automatic Renewal
Subscriptions renew automatically on a recurring monthly basis unless canceled before the renewal date. Payments are processed by authorized third-party payment processors, including but not limited to Stripe and its affiliated payment services.

FTA Channel makes reasonable efforts to maintain an accurate and updated catalog but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of any specific channel. Channel availability is subject entirely to the respective content provider.
8. Third-Party Content
All trademarks, logos, names, channel identities, and audiovisual content remain the property of their respective owners.

If you believe content or links available through the Platform infringe your rights, you may submit a formal removal request under our Copyright Removal Policy. FTA Channel reserves the right to remove or disable access to any channel, stream, or listing at its sole discretion.
10. Service Modifications
