Squad Theater Policy

What Squad Theater Is

Squad Theater is a free browser-based tool that lets people host a virtual “movie night” with friends. Video is streamed peer-to-peer (P2P) from the host or designated streamer’s device to other participants. Jon Bailey provides the web interface and connection helpers only — not the movies, audio, chat, or mic content shared during a session.

No Liability for User-Shared Content

Jon Bailey is not legally responsible for any video, audio, images, text, links, or other material that hosts, streamers, guests, or admins share through Squad Theater.

• All content is supplied and transmitted by users, not by jonbailey.xyz.
• Jon Bailey does not review, host, store, or distribute user media on a server for playback.
• Jon Bailey makes no warranty that shared content is lawful, accurate, safe, or appropriate.
• Participation is at your own risk. If you object to what is being shown or said, leave the session.

Your Responsibilities

By using Squad Theater, you agree that you (and not Jon Bailey) are solely responsible for your conduct and content:

• Copyright: Only stream material you have the right to share (your own work, public domain, or properly licensed content). Unauthorized screening of copyrighted films may violate law.
• Illegal or harmful content: Do not use Squad Theater to share material that is illegal, exploitative, harassing, hateful, or otherwise harmful.
• Privacy: Do not record or redistribute others’ streams, voices, or chat without their consent where required by law.
• Minors: Hosts are responsible for who they invite and what is shown. Squad Theater is not directed at children under 13.
• Admin access: The host controls room settings and may grant admin privileges. Only share invite links and passwords with people you trust.

How the Technology Works (Privacy Note)

• Video and live mic audio travel directly between participants via WebRTC when possible, not through a Jon Bailey media server.
• A third-party signaling service (PeerJS) helps browsers find each other; it does not receive your video file.
• Text chat is relayed through the host’s connection in the room.
• Pre-show lobby ambience may load a small bundled sound file from this site; your feature film does not upload to jonbailey.xyz.

Service Provided “As Is”

Squad Theater is offered free of charge, as is, without guarantees. Jon Bailey does not promise uninterrupted service, error-free operation, sync accuracy, or suitability for any purpose. Connection quality depends on your devices, browsers, networks, and third-party services outside our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Jon Bailey and jonbailey.xyz disclaim all liability for any damages, losses, claims, or disputes arising from use of Squad Theater — including but not limited to copyright claims, data loss, offensive content, mic/chat disputes, failed streams, or third-party service outages. Your remedy is to stop using the tool.

Copyright Concerns

Jon Bailey does not monitor private watch parties. If you believe content streamed through Squad Theater infringes your copyright, contact the person who hosted the session directly. For site-related inquiries only, reach out via jonbailey.xyz/connect.

Changes

This policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of Squad Theater after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
