Terms of Service

Last updated: June 16, 2026

Plain-language summary

What is Miru?

Miru is a technology platform — a “shell” application that plays user-supplied media. Miru does NOT host, stream, store, broadcast, or distribute any audio-visual content. You bring your own streaming subscription or playlist source; Miru renders it.

Who is responsible for the content you watch?

You are. You choose the content provider, you pay them directly, and you are responsible for ensuring you have the legal right to view what you stream. Miru cannot verify the legal status of any third-party stream.

What can get your account suspended?

Repeated valid copyright takedown notices, payment fraud, sharing your Account credentials, or violations of our Acceptable Use rules. See the DMCA section below for the takedown procedure.

1. Provider identity

The Miru service is provided by Danforth Enterprises (“Miru”, “we”, “our”, “us”). Miru is the seller of record for subscriptions; payments are processed by Stripe — see Section 10 (Payments and tax) below. For any question covered by these Terms, contact us at support@miruplayer.app.

2. Nature of the service

Miru is a shell application that renders audio-visual content supplied by you. We do not host, stream, store, broadcast, distribute, or otherwise provide any audio-visual content ourselves. The service has substantial non-infringing uses, and our engineering and business choices reflect a deliberate posture against any inducement of copyright infringement.

(a) Miru is a service provider within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1)(B) — a provider of online services or network access, or the operator of facilities therefor.

(b) Miru is an interactive computer service within the meaning of 47 U.S.C. § 230(f)(2) — an information service that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server.

(c) Miru maintains the designated agent registration required to claim the safe harbor of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) — see the DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure below.

(d) Miru maintains and reasonably implements a policy for terminating Accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A) — see Section 8 (Termination) below.

(e) The service has substantial non-infringing uses, including: (1) playing freely-licensed Public Service Broadcasting streams from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, and other jurisdictions where state broadcasters offer free OTT; (2) playing self-hosted playlists pointed at the user’s own media library or LAN-side streaming server (e.g. Jellyfin, Plex, Channels DVR); (3) playing live streams from a paid provider with which the user has a valid licensing relationship; and (4) educational, developer, and quality-assurance use against test streams. We rely on the dual-use doctrine articulated in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913 (2005), and we do not market, advertise, or otherwise affirmatively induce use for any infringing purpose.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Miru service. By using the service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

4. Account responsibilities

If you create an Account, you are responsible for:

You may not share your Account with another person, sell your Account, or use your Account on behalf of a third party for compensation.

5. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to use the Miru service to:

6. Content disclaimer

You acknowledge and agree that Miru does not host, stream, store, broadcast, or distribute any audio-visual content. All audio-visual content rendered by Miru is supplied by you (via your content provider, your playlist source, or your self-hosted streaming server). Miru cannot verify, and does not warrant, the legality, accuracy, completeness, or quality of any third-party stream.

7. DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure

Miru complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and you believe that material accessible through the Miru service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice of claimed infringement.

7.1 Designated Agent

Designated Agent: Danforth Enterprises DMCA Designated Agent Email: dmca@miruplayer.app

Miru accepts DMCA notices and counter-notices by email at the address above. We do not currently maintain a postal address for DMCA correspondence; please send all communications to the email address above with the subject line “DMCA Notice” or “DMCA Counter-Notice” as appropriate. The Designated Agent contact information is on file with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

7.2 Required elements of a valid DMCA notice (per § 512(c)(3))

A valid notice of claimed infringement MUST include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single online site, a representative list).
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit Miru to locate the material (typically, a URL or other specific identifier).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Miru to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and (if available) an electronic mail address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

7.3 Counter-notice procedure (per § 512(g))

If you believe material was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the Designated Agent contact above. A valid counter-notice MUST include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Miru may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the complainant or its agent.

7.4 Knowing material misrepresentations

Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your Account if you:

You may close your Account at any time by emailing support@miruplayer.app from the registered Account email address.

9. Subscription terms

After a 7-day free trial that requires no email or payment information, the Miru service requires a paid subscription. Pricing is as displayed at checkout on the secure Stripe-hosted checkout page linked from the configurator, exclusive of applicable taxes. Subscriptions auto-renew monthly unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You may cancel at any time through the Stripe-hosted billing portal linked from the configurator’s billing page.

10. Payments and tax

Miru is the seller of record for all subscriptions. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) on Miru’s behalf. Applicable sales tax, VAT, GST, and similar transaction taxes are calculated and collected at checkout via Stripe Tax and remitted by Miru as the seller of record. Your use of the Stripe-hosted checkout and billing portal is additionally subject to Stripe’s own terms at stripe.com/legal. Refunds and chargebacks are handled by Miru under our Refund Policy.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Miru’s aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the Miru service shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount you paid Miru in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100). Miru shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, even if Miru has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages — in such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Miru, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Miru service in violation of these Terms; (b) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right (including any copyright owner’s right); or (c) any audio-visual content you cause Miru to render.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

14. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

You and Miru agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Miru service will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Delaware or, at your election, by telephone or videoconference. Each party will bear its own arbitration costs except as otherwise provided by the AAA Rules or applicable law. Class actions, class arbitrations, and representative actions are not permitted.

Opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@miruplayer.app within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. The opt-out notice must state your full name, your registered Account email address, and your intent to opt out of arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction.

15. Modifications to these Terms

We will revise these Terms when our service changes materially.

16. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Miru regarding the Miru service. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms freely.
